  • Patent number: 5782620
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines which has a moving part supported in a housing bore and on its jacket face on one side, has an exit opening that is under high pressure, and whose bearing is improved by virtue of the fact that on the jacket face of the part or in the wall of the housing bore, at least one pressure compensation is provided. The compensation face is connected to a high pressure source, is disposed on a side of the jacket face of the part which side is remote from the exit opening, and is continuously covered by the wall of the housing bore. As a result, a compensation of the pressure action by means of the pressure field prevailing in the region of the exit opening occurs so that an improved, less damage-prone bearing is produced with a greater high pressure tightness of the moving part.

  • Patent number: 5235949
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for preparing a fuel-metering signal M for a diesel engine starting with measured variables such as accelerator pedal position, rotational speed, lambda, exhaust gas temperature or torque. A fuel quantity request MW is pregiven in dependence upon the position of the accelerator pedal. This quantity request MW is supplied to a minimum selector together with a second signal. The output signal M of the minimum selector, in turn, determines the metered fuel. The second signal derives from a precontrol characteristic field 50 in dependence upon the speed. The output signal of the precontrol characteristic field MV is influenced by the controller output signal MR in specific operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 5070836
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the fuel injection in a high-pressure fuel pump. Magnetic valves determine the fuel quantity to be injected into the engine. The magnetic valve is controlled during the pumping phase of the pumping element in such a manner that first a preinjection and then a main injection is carried out. In specific operating conditions, the control apparatus determines the duration of the drive pulses for the magnetic valve at which a preinjection just takes place. With the duration of the drive pulses as a basis, the control apparatus forms compensating signals for the drive pulses which effect preinjection and stores the same.

  • Patent number: 4801095
    Abstract: Fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines includes a nozzle element having a front cusp formed with a conical valve seat face. At least one injection hole is provided in the front cusp. The outer wall area of the front cusp which is disposed opposite to the valve seat face has a lower hardness than that of the inner wall area forming the valve seat face. When the injection hole extends from a pocket hole, preferably the outer wall area of the front cusp encompassing the picket hole has a lower hardness than that of the opposite disposed inner wall area. The intermediary center wall area preferably has a still lower hardness than the outer wall area. Thus, it is achieved that the front cusp of the nozzle element has a higher rigidity than in a known embodiment, without the valve seat face losing any hardness or that the protection of the outer wall area of the front cusp being unduly severly reduced against abrasive wear.

  • Patent number: 4768719
    Abstract: Fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines includes a first closing spring which acts continuously on the valve needle by means of a central pressure pin and, in addition, a second closing spring which acts continuously on the valve needle by means of a pressure piece after covering the distance of an initial stroke. The pressure piece is supported at the nozzle body by means of an intermediate bush during the initial stroke. The initial stroke is limited by means of the shoulders at the valve needle and the intermediate bush, whereas the total stroke is limited by means of the shoulders at the intermediate bush and the intermediate disk. Accordingly, the initial stroke can be adjusted very accurately to a desired magnitude merely by means of grinding the valve needle and does not change during the assembly of the injection nozzle.
