  • Patent number: 4549515
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines which has a metering valve disposed in a fuel supply line, in which adjusting characteristics for controlling the metering valve are strictly linear, thereby enabling a predictable, flexible fuel metering using simple and inexpensive control circuits. To this end, metering slits in the metering valve, which cooperate with a control piston in a known manner, are each connected to a respective differential pressure valve, which is adjusted such that the pressure differential (p.sub.1,2) before and after the metering slits is constant, regardless of the size of the uncovered cross section of the metering slits. Thus the cross section of the metering slits uncovered at a given time is linearly dependent solely on the displacement travel (h) of the control piston, which in turn is proportional to a control pressure (p.sub.

  • Patent number: 4548027
    Abstract: There is disclosed a combine harvester in which a traveling change speed mechanism is automatically controlled in response to workload variations in order to maintain the workload within a predetermined range. In normal circumstances, controls are effected on the basis of an average value of deviations from a control target value of values of the load sampled a predetermined number of times. A change speed operation is immediately effected in an amount corresponding to the deviations when a difference between a value of variation of the sampled values from sampled values obtained a previous time from sampled values obtained earlier is greater than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 4545530
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines having an inwardly opening valve needle (I nozzle) is proposed, in which an induction coil is disposed in the closing spring chamber, the induction coil together with an armature influenced by the valve needle forming a signal transducer for a measuring appliance for detecting the onset of injection and further data, as needed, of the injection process. The air gap of the magnetic circuit of the induction coil is formed between the armature and a coil, toward which the armature moves during the opening stroke of the valve needle. As a result, it is possible to attain a small initial air gap and a large change, in terms of percentage, in the air gap. The apparatus according to the invention is particularly suitable for measuring circuits in which a direct voltage is applied to the induction coil and the voltages induced as a result of the air gap changes in the induction coil are superimposed on the applied direct voltage.
