  • Patent number: 8025488
    Abstract: Transfer pump for high-pressure petrol injection of the type including a piston (1) which delivers oil into a deformable element such as a bellows (8), the deformations of the bellows (8) in a cylindrical chamber (6) filled with fuel causing a pumping effect whereby the fuel is pumped towards a rail (40) supplying high-pressure injectors, wherein elements are arranged for diverting some or all of the oil pumped by the piston (1) towards a chamber (15) without pressuring it so as to determine at will the useful stroke of the piston (1) and hence the quantity of fuel pumped at high pressure towards the rail (40).

  • Publication number: 20080175731
    Abstract: A transfer pump for the injection of fuel under high pressure of the type comprising a piston (10) providing the hydraulic liquid to a deformable bellows (14), the deformations of said bellows (14) in a cylindrical chamber (20) filled with fuel giving rise to a high pressure pumping effect of said fuel; a cam (5) provided with lugs (6) carried by a drive shaft (1), is characterized in that the oil portion of the pump comprises: the portion of the drive shaft (1) bearing the cam (5); the cam (5) and its lugs (6); the roller (7) with its shaft (8) and its roller bearing (9) carried by a bearing member (12), by which roller the cam(5) bears on the piston (10); as well as the upper portion of said piston (10); such that all the mechanical drive portion and angle change are bathed in the oil of the oil portion.
