A plunger type digital pump mainly comprises a flow distribution end cover, a shell, low-pressure valve bodies, high-pressure valve bodies, a cylinder body, a roller plunger, flow distribution slide ways, sleeves, an output shaft, bearings and an end cover, wherein the cylinder body is formed by stacking five parts, the roller plunger is arranged in a fifth cylinder body, plunger cavities are divided into oil suction channels and oil pressing channels by a fourth cylinder body, a second cylinder body is embedded in a first cylinder body and a third cylinder body, the low-pressure valve bodiesand the high-pressure valve bodies are uniformly arranged at intervals in the circumferential directions of the first cylinder body, the second cylinder body and the third cylinder body, and valve core controllers are uniformly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the second cylinder body; the first flow distribution slide way, the second flow distribution slide way and the third flow distribution slide way are mounted and fixed to the output shaft, a first rectification valve seat and a high-speed valve core are embedded in each low-pressure valve body, closing control can be carried out through electric signals, and a second rectification valve seat and a valve core are embedded in each high-pressure valve body; and by adjusting the working state and sequence of thevalve cores in each low-pressure valve body, discrete control on the flow can be realized, and then variable control on the output flow of a plunger pump can be realized.
