High pressure fuel pump
In order to provide a method for high volume and high pressure operation of a variable delivery type single cylinder plunger pump, the displacement of the piezoelectric element 20 is magnified by a hydraulic displacement magnifying mechanism comprising a large-diameter bellows 204, a small diameter bellows 202 and working fluid 208, and an engaging member 201 is displaced to control the time interval of opening and closing the intake valve 5. The large-diameter bellows 204 is used at all times in the state compressed in the direction of displacement transfer, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the working fluid 208 is maintained at a positive value to prevent vapor from being generated. The thermal expansion of a casing 23 is selected in such a way that the total thermal expansion of the piezoelectric element 200 and hydraulic displacement magnifying mechanism in the direction of displacement transfer is approximately the same as the thermal expansion of the casing 23, whereby highly efficient driving is provided.
