ABSTRACT:
A high-pressure fuel pump control device capable of reducing current consumption, increasing pump durability, and promoting a rise of fuel pressure from startup. The high-pressure fuel pump control device comprises a fuel injector valve for directly injecting fuel in a common rail into a combustion chamber and a high-pressure fuel pump for feeding the fuel under pressure to the common rail. The high-pressure fuel pump comprises a pressurization chamber, a plunger for pressurizing the fuel in the pressurization chamber, a fuel passage valve disposed in the pressurization chamber, and an actuator for actuating the fuel passage valve. The control device includes a control unit for executing output control of a drive signal for the actuator to vary a discharge rate of the high-pressure fuel pump. The control unit starts outputting of the actuator drive signal during a period from operation start to a point in time at which the actuator drive signal becomes able to issue in a predetermined crank angle phase, and sets timing of stopping the outputting of the actuator drive signal to a point in time at which the fuel pressure in the common rail has boosted over a predetermined value per unit time.
