Patent number: 4675589Abstract: In a method for producing a pulsed setting voltage (v). said voltage is pulse-duration modulated with an electric control variable. The setting voltage serves to act on a setting drive having an inductance, particularly an electric motor setting drive (9) of a throttle valve (11) of an internal combustion engine. In order to obtain at the same time good periodic excitation of the setting drive as well as a low electric loss power in the setting drive, the setting voltage which is pulsed with a high clock frequency (f.sub.0) is pulse-duration modulated with a low fundamental-modulation frequency (f.sub.m) as well as a control variable.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1985Date of Patent: June 23, 1987Assignee: VDO Adolf Schindling AGInventors: Andreas Sausner, Gerhard Ruschek

Patent number: 4617505Abstract: A voltage supply for a servomotor (9) is effected via a wiper (10) which slides on two conductive paths (5, 6) which are displaceable in longitudinal direction. The conductive paths (5, 6) have, at their opposite ends, a driver (15, 17) against which the wiper (10) can come in its end positions upon further displacement, in order to be able to carry the corresponding conductive path (5, 6) along with it. Directly before the driver (15, 17) is reached, no voltage is tapped off from the corresponding conductive path (5, 6), so that the servomotor (9) then stops.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1985Date of Patent: October 14, 1986Assignee: VDO Adolf Schindling AGInventors: Andreas Sausner, Gerhard Ruschek

Patent number: 4573441Abstract: An improvement is disclosed for a valve arrangement for adjusting the idling speed of an engine of the type having an intake manifold and a throttle valve in the manifold. In this arrangement there is a bypass of the throttle valve, and an electromechanical setting element and a solenoid connected to a closure member for the bypass via a setting member. A return spring biases the setting member in a closing direction and the solenoid can urge the setting member in an opening direction against the force of the return spring. The closure member is urged in the opening direction by pressure on the admission side of the manifold. This admission side is connected to a chamber having a moveable wall connected to the closure member. In accordance with the improvement the chamber is connected to the intake side of the manifold by a connection which includes a valve which is adapted to close the connection during a control process.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 1984Date of Patent: March 4, 1986Assignee: VDO Adolf Schindling AGInventors: Stephan Wietschorke, Gerhard Ruschek, Andreas Sausner

Patent number: 4572478Abstract: A throttle valve 4 is pivotally mounted about a shaft 3 within a connection-piece housing of a throttle-valve connection piece. In order to reduce the air leakage rate, means are provided for eddying the leakage air which, when the throttle valve is closed, passes between it and the wall of the bore of the connection-piece housing. The connection-piece housing preferably has two bores which open into each other forming a crescent-shaped step, against which the throttle valve rests in the closed position and a reduction in cross section on one side in the bore of the connection-piece housing is provided by an arcuate transition to the bore of smaller diameter and the crescent-shaped step is located on the opposite side.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 1983Date of Patent: February 25, 1986Assignee: VDO Adolf Schindling AGInventors: Hans-Ulrich Vogler, Gerhard Ruschek, Horst Schlick

Patent number: 4450804Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for increasing the idling speed of an internal combustion engine, particularly a diesel internal-combustion engine. It has a setting member for controlling the feed of the fuel, the displacement path of said member being adapted to be limited in the direction towards idle by an idle stop and after a starting process, by a start-quantity stop. In order that such an arrangement be of simple construction and be capable of being manufactured inexpensively, the displacement path can be limited by a plurality of start-quantity stops arranged one behind the other in the idling direction, of which, commencing with the starting process, at given time intervals one after the other, the start-quantity stop furthest from the idle stop can be moved out of the path of displacement of the setting member.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1983Date of Patent: May 29, 1984Assignee: VDO Adolf Schindling AGInventors: Wolfgang Sauerschell, Stephan Wietschorke, Gerhard Ruschek
