Abstract

To reduce collision noise caused when an electromagnetic valve of a high-pressure fuel supply pump is opened. Therefore, in a control device for controlling a high-pressure fuel supply pump including: an anchor; a fixed core configured to attract the anchor with an electromagnetic force; a suction valve configured to be opened or closed when the anchor is sucked by the fixed core; and an electromagnetic force generation unit configured to generate the electromagnetic force when applied with a driving voltage, it can be achieved by providing a control unit configured to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides in an operation state where an engine is under no load and an engine rotation speed is equal to or less than a set rotation speed.

Claims (11)

1. A control device for controlling a high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising: an anchor; a fixed core configured to attract the anchor with an electromagnetic force; a suction valve configured to be opened or closed when the anchor is sucked by the fixed core; and an electromagnetic force generator configured to generate the electromagnetic force when applied with a driving voltage, wherein

the control device comprises a controller configured to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before a timing, the timing being a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides in an operation state, the operation state being a state where an engine is under no load and an engine rotation speed is equal to or less than a set rotation speed,

wherein the controller is configured to estimate a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides from a driving current flowing by the driving voltage; and to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before an estimated timing.

2. A control device for controlling a high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising: an anchor; a fixed core configured to attract the anchor with an electromagnetic force; a suction valve configured to be opened or closed when the anchor is sucked by the fixed core; and an electromagnetic force generator configured to generate the electromagnetic force when applied with a driving voltage, wherein

the control device comprises a controller configured to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before a timing, the timing being a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides in an operation state, the operation state being a state where an engine is under no load and an engine rotation speed is equal to or less than a set rotation speed,

wherein the controller is configured to estimate a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides, by performing signal processing on a driving current flowing by the driving voltage, and to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before an estimated timing.

3. A control device for controlling a high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising: an anchor; a fixed core configured to attract the anchor with an electromagnetic force; a suction valve configured to be opened or closed when the anchor is sucked by the fixed core; and an electromagnetic force generator configured to generate the electromagnetic force when applied with a driving voltage, wherein

the control device comprises a controller configured to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before a timing, the timing being a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides in an operation state, the operation state being a state where an engine is under no load and an engine rotation speed is equal to or less than a set rotation speed,

wherein the controller is configured to estimate a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides by differentiating the driving current flowing by the driving voltage once, and to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before an estimated timing.

4. The control device for the high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 3 , wherein

the controller is configured to estimate a timing at which an inclination of a waveform outputted by differentiating the driving current once becomes substantially 0, as a timing at which the anchor is sucked by the fixed core and collides, and to perform control to lower a driving current from a peak current before an estimated timing.
