Abstract

An object of the invention is to provide a fuel supply pump that can simultaneously prevent cavitation erosion in a relief valve seat portion at the time of increasing the pressure and reduce a maximum pressure when releasing an abnormally high pressure. Therefore, in the fuel supply pump, a relief valve mechanism includes a seat portion and a relief valve seated on the seat portion, and sets a set discharge pressure to 30 MPa or more. A seat angle of the seat portion is formed to be 40° to 50°, and a set valve opening pressure of the relief valve mechanism is set to 2 MPa or more than the set discharge pressure.

Claims (33)

1 . A fuel supply pump, comprising:

a relief valve mechanism that includes a seat portion and a relief valve seated on the seat portion, and sets a set discharge pressure to 30 MPa or more,

wherein a seat angle of the seat portion is formed to be 40° to 50°, and a set valve opening pressure of the relief valve mechanism is set to 2 MPa or larger than the set discharge pressure.

2 . The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , comprising

a pressurizing chamber that pressurizes fuel,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured to open the relief valve when a pressure difference between a pressure on a discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a suction stroke.

3 . The fuel supply pump according to claim 1 , comprising

a pressurizing chamber that pressurizes fuel,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured to open the relief valve when a pressure difference between a pressure on a discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure on a suction side of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a compression stroke.

4 . A method of manufacturing a fuel supply pump, the fuel supply pump including a relief valve mechanism that includes a seat portion and a relief valve seated on the seat portion, and sets a set valve opening pressure of the relief valve mechanism to be larger than a set discharge pressure by a set value,

the method comprising:

manufacturing the relief valve mechanism such that, in a case where the set discharge pressure is the same, the set value becomes larger as a seat angle of the seat portion increases.

5 . A method of manufacturing a fuel supply pump, the fuel supply pump including a relief valve mechanism that includes a seat portion and a relief valve seated on the seat portion, and sets a set valve opening pressure of the relief valve mechanism to be larger than a set discharge pressure by a set value,

the method comprising:

manufacturing the relief valve mechanism such that, in a case where a seat angle of the seat portion is the same, the set value becomes larger as the set discharge pressure increases.

6 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 4 ,

wherein the set discharge pressure is set to 30 MPa or more.

7 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 5 ,

wherein the seat angle of the seat portion is set to be between 40° and 50°.

8 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 2 ,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured such that a pressure difference between a pressure on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a suction stroke.

9 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 2 ,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured such that a pressure difference between a pressure on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure on a suction side of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a compression stroke.

10 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 3 ,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured such that a pressure difference between a pressure on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a suction stroke.

11 . The method of manufacturing the fuel supply pump according to claim 3 ,

wherein the relief valve mechanism is configured such that a pressure difference between a pressure on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber and a pressure on a suction side of the pressurizing chamber becomes larger than the set valve opening pressure, and

wherein the set discharge pressure is set as a maximum pressure value on the discharge side of the pressurizing chamber in a compression stroke.
