Patent number: 4750462Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus which the termination of the effective pump supply stroke is effected by exposing a relief conduit with the aid of a valve having for instance a control edge, whereupon a highly pressurized fuel flows out via the relief conduit and is directed into a pressure chamber defined by a rear face of a pressure valve closing member. The pressure valve closing member is located in a connection with a fuel injection line that leads from the pump work chamber to the fuel injection valve and is acted upon by a valve spring to effect closing of this injection line. The impact of fuel that reaches the pressure chamber via the releif conduit reinforces a fast closure of the pressure valve closing member at the end of injection, which leads to an abrupt termination of an injection cycle. In addition, or altenatively, the fuel injection valve closing member can also be acted upon by the impact of fuel diversion.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1986Date of Patent: June 14, 1988Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Walter Egler, Jean Leblanc, Helmut Pfeifle, Jean Pigeroulet, Francois Rossignol, Dietrich Trachte

Patent number: 4669659Abstract: The unit fuel injector has a pump piston driven at a constant stroke length, which pumps fuel at injection pressure to an injection nozzle as long as an electrically actuated overflow valve blocks the flow of the fuel flowing from the pump work chamber to a low-pressure chamber via an overflow conduit. The overflow valve is inserted between a first section which communicates continuously with the pump work chamber and a second section leading to the low-pressure chamber of the overflow conduit and is secured to a housing part laterally projecting from the pump housing. The first section of the overflow conduit comprises a connecting bore leading away from the pump work chamber, a control conduit controlled by the overflow valve, and a transverse conduit connecting these two.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1985Date of Patent: June 2, 1987Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet, Francois Rossignol

Patent number: 4653455Abstract: The injection pump has a pump piston driven with a constant stroke which pumps fuel at injection pressure to an injection nozzle so long as an electrically actuated overflow valve blocks the flow of the fuel overflowing via an overflow conduit to a low-pressure chamber. The overflow valve is a needle valve, the valve needle of which, opening inward toward a pressure chamber that can be placed under injection pressure, by means of a conical closing surface radially defining a needle tip controls a valve seat that widens conically toward the pressure chamber. The cone angle of the closing surface is larger than the cone angle of the associated valve seat and the closing surface forms a sealing edge, the diameter of which is equal to or only slightly smaller than the guide diameter of the guide shank on the valve member.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1985Date of Patent: March 31, 1987Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ewald Eblen, Karl Hofmann, Volker Holzgrefe, Jean Pigeroulet, Nestor Rodriguez-Amaya, Nikolaus Simon, Dietrich Trachte, Friedrich Weiss, Ewald Ziegler

Patent number: 4571161Abstract: The pump/nozzle unit for a fuel injection system is disclosed which has a pump piston that is driven via a drive tappet and is rotatable by means of a regulating sleeve. The regulating sleeve, provided with a radially protruding control lever arm, is axially secured in its installed position by means of a guide bushing. The guide bushing includes a guide part for the drive tappet and a radially protruding flange, which is secured to the pump housing by at least one holder passing through an oblong slot on the flange of the guide bushing. A recess in the form of a circular segmented ring is cut out of the guide bushing for the passage therethrough of the control lever arm. By rotating the guide bushing within a range limited by the oblong slot a lateral limiting edge of the recess is adjustable into a position in which the pump piston, with the control lever arm resting on the limiting edge assumes a rotational position associated with a fixed supply quantity.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1985Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet, Francois Rossignol

Patent number: 4538580Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines in which by means of an obliquely extending control groove on the jacket face of a distributor, the end of injection can be varied by opening a relief conduit during the displacement of the distributor. The injection onset is made to follow this variable end of injection by providing that the stroke position of the pump pistons of the fuel injection pump is ascertained at the end of injection by a transducer, by means of which at the same time a metering duration of a magnetic valve that has already been opened at the time of the end of the injection stroke is controlled. In this manner, with a radial piston pump so embodied, the opportunity is afforded of accurately adjusting the quantity of fuel to be metered by means of a magnetic valve, even with variable injection times. All that needs to be done is that the magnetic valve be closed exactly and rapidly at the end of metering, while an error in opening on the part of the magnetic valve does not occur.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1983Date of Patent: September 3, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Max Straubel, Hermann Eisele, Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet

Patent number: 4398519Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines is proposed in which the onset and end of injection are determined by a hydraulically actuated control slide. The injection pumps of the apparatus, which are preferably combined with an injection nozzle to make a pump/nozzle unit have a central control pressure pump supplied with fuel by a supply pump. The control pressure pump creates a control pressure (p.sub.S) which is a multiple increase in comparison to the supply pressure (p.sub.V) of the supply pump and actuates the control slide. Each control slide is placed under control pressure (p.sub.S) to initiate the onset of injection via a control line which is separated from the filling lines of the injection pump and closes an overflow channel which leads away from the pump work chamber. At the end of injection the control slide again relieves this overflow channel to a supply line during its return stroke.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1981Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Robert-Bosch GmbHInventors: Raymond Tissot, Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet
