A piston-type booster pump and a fuel injection system based on a dual-solenoid valve booster pump with flexible and variable injection patterns.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a piston-type booster pump and a fuel injection system based on a dual-solenoid valve booster pump with a flexible and variable injection pattern, belonging to the field of engine technology. Fuel is pressurized by an electronically controlled unit pump and enters the high-pressure common rail. The piston-type booster pump can further pressurize the pressurized fuel, thereby changing the injection pressure of the injector and achieving a variable fuel injection pattern. When only one booster pump solenoid valve is open, the piston-type booster pump has a long booster response time and a slow increase in injection rate. When both booster pump solenoid valves are open simultaneously, the piston-type booster pump has a short booster response time and a fast increase in injection rate. The electronic control unit achieves flexible control of the injection pattern by coordinating the opening and closing sequence of the two booster pump solenoid valves, the electronically controlled unit pump solenoid valve, and the injector solenoid valve.
