Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a high-pressure fuel supply pump having a structure capable of adjusting the moving speed of an anchor. Therefore, the high-pressure fuel supply pump of the present invention is provided with a protrusion that protrudes toward an anchor side on a fixed core facing surface of a fixed core. The protrusion is configured in such a manner that a minimum distance between the protrusion and an anchor facing surface is smaller than an axial gap dimension configured between the fixed core facing surface and the anchor facing surface in a direction along a central axis in a state where the anchor is stationary at the time of non-energization.

Claims (20)

1. A high-pressure fuel supply pump comprising:

an electromagnetic intake valve having a fixed core,

an anchor that faces the fixed core in a direction along a central axis and is biased to a side away from the fixed core, and

an electromagnetic coil, the high-pressure fuel supply pump causing a magnetic attractive force to act between a fixed core facing surface of the fixed core facing the anchor and an anchor facing surface of the anchor facing the fixed core to drive the anchor toward the fixed core and change a discharge amount of fuel as the electromagnetic coil is energized, wherein

the fixed core has a protrusion protruding to the anchor side on the fixed core facing surface,

in a state where the anchor is stationary when the electromagnetic coil is not energized, a minimum distance between the protrusion of the fixed core and the anchor facing surface is configured to be smaller than an axial gap dimension configured between the fixed core facing surface and the anchor facing surface in a direction along the central axis,

the protrusion is located on a radially outer side with respect to an outer peripheral surface of the anchor or a radially inner side with respect to an inner peripheral surface of the anchor without contacting the anchor in a state where the anchor abuts on the fixed core when the electromagnetic coil is energized,

the protrusion is formed to be positioned on an outer peripheral side of the fixed core facing surface,

the anchor facing surface is formed perpendicular to the central axis,

the minimum distance is configured between an outer periphery of the anchor facing surface and the protrusion, and

the protrusion is formed as a tapered surface, in which an outer peripheral surface reduces in diameter front a tip end portion side in a protruding direction toward a side of the fixed core facing surface.

2. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion is provided so as to face an outer peripheral surface of the anchor from a radially outer side in a state where the anchor is stationary when the electromagnetic coil is not energized.

3. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , wherein

the protrusion is formed to be positioned on an inner peripheral side of the fixed core facing surface.

4. The high-pressure fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a rod that is configured to be relatively displaceable in a direction along a central axis with respect to the anchor, and that is engaged with the anchor and moves toward the fixed core when the anchor moves toward the fixed core;

a rod biasing spring that biases the rod to a side away from the fixed core; and

an anchor biasing spring that biases the anchor toward a side of the fixed core with a biasing force smaller than a biasing force of the rod biasing spring, wherein

the anchor is biased to a side away from the fixed core via the rod by a biasing force that is a difference between a biasing force of the rod biasing spring and a biasing force of the anchor biasing spring.
