Provided is a high-pressure
fuel supply pump comprising a normal-close,
electromagnetic drive-type suction valve mechanism, adaptable to increased capacity and having little
noise generation. The high-pressure
fuel supply pump comprises a valve member having a sheet surface that comes in contact with a suction valve sheet, and a
plunger rod positioned on the sheet surface-side of the valve member, and which operates the valve member by magnetic attraction force; and is provided with a protector arranged facing, across a gap, the opposite side surface to the sheet surface of the valve member, when the
plunger rod is at full
stroke in the
valve opening direction for the valve member, and an anchor for
plunger rod drive has come in contact with a stopper. As a result, the generation of a fluid dynamic force that impels the valve member in the valve closing direction towards the surface on the opposite side to the sheet surface of the valve member, as a result of fuel spilled from a pressurizing chamber, is reduced. Furthermore, the protector and the suction valve member do not come in contact, so
noise generation does not increase. As a result, a high-pressure
fuel supply pump can be provided that is capable of accurate flow
rate control even if capacity is increased, and has little
noise generation.
