Abstract: An improved fuel injection system of the type in which the fuel injection timing and the fuel injection rate vary with the plunger pre-stroke which is regulated by displacing a control sleeve slidably fitted on a plunger reciprocating at a non-uniform speed and in which the actual injection quantity varies with the pre-stroke. The fuel injection system comprise an engine operating condition sensor, a pre-stroke control means, and a control sleeve driving means that cooperate to adjust the plunger pre-stroke. The amount of pre-stroke is detected by a position sensor. The position sensor and the engine operating condition sensor deliver respective outputs to a correction arithmetic means which computes the amount of deviation and thereby the amount of correction based on the outputs delivered.

Abstract: A diesel engine with an injection pump coordinated to each cylinder. The pump piston (13) of each injection pump is actuated by a cam (15) of a camshaft (12) by way of a roller tappet (14). Each roller tappet (14) is arranged in an individual tappet guide member (16) which is axially adjustably supported by means of two coaxial cylindrical guide pins (17, 18) in corresponding openings (19, 20) of the cylinder crankcase (11).

Abstract: A fuel injection system for in internal combustion engine includes a solenoid valve disposed across a fuel passage defined in a fuel injection pump and actuatable under the control of a control circuit for controlling the fuel injection quantity and the fuel injection timing. The actual fuel injection quantity is detected by a sensor disposed in the solenoid valve and fed back to the electric circuit where it is compared with the objective fuel injection quantity determined on the basis of engine operating conditions. If there is a difference, the fuel injection quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine through the solenoid valve is changed by the control circuit in a measured manner which will tend to make this difference disappear. The control of the fuel injection timing can be achieved by the system substantially the same manner as described above. The sensor comprises an electric on-off switch defined jointly by a valve seat and a valve element of the solenoid valve.

Abstract: A speed governor for fuel injection pumps is proposed having a guide shaft guided in a cam plate to serve as the pivot shaft for a governor lever connecting an adjusting member and a supply quantity control member. The guide shaft is adjustable and guided appropriately by means of an adjusting lever so far as to form a variable-speed governor adapted to varying the full-load and maximum rpm. The cam plate is adjustable by a device by means of an operating parameter acting independently of the speed governor, for instance, the engagement of a cruising or overdrive gear in a manual transmission. Upon rotation of the cam plate, the guide shaft is displaced by a movement-coupling member into a position in which a minimum idling rpm is assured.
