Publication number: 20050056803Abstract: A pressure-control valve for regulating the pressure in a fuel accumulator having a piston-shaped valve member guided axially displaceable in a bore and acts on a closing element which can be pressed against a valve seat. The valve member constitutes an armature of an electromagnet which can be supplied with electrical current. The valve is additionally equipped with a mechanical spring which presses the valve member in the direction toward the valve seat and whose initial spring tension is such that the spring pressure corresponds to the maximum desired pressure in the fuel accumulator. In this way a pressure is generated at the valve outlet and therefore an injection process is made possible, even in case of a failure of the electromagnetic regulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2004Publication date: March 17, 2005Inventors: Gerhard Geyer, Helmut Sattmann, Christian Braeuer, Thomas Buchberger, Frank Haerer

Patent number: 6581577Abstract: Disclosed is a high-pressure assembly for a fuel injection system, including a low-pressure pump, which aspirates fuel from a fuel tank, and a high-pressure pump with a plurality of pump elements. A feed line leads from the low-pressure pump to a suction valve of the applicable pump elements. A flow control valve of the slide type and on the outlet side of it a differential pressure valve are disposed in the feed line. Between the two valves, a return line leading to the fuel tank branches off. The differential pressure valve has an opening pressure which is greater than that of the suction valves. As a result, upon zero pumping of the high-pressure pump, an aspiration of fuel by the pump elements is averted, while in partial filling operation of the high-pressure pump, a largely uniform filling of the pump elements with fuel is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Gerhard Geyer

Patent number: 5450825Abstract: The device for the relative rotation of the shaft of an internal combustion engine with respect to the drive wheel, which is rotatably arranged on the shaft, has a hydrostatic pump whose housing is torsionally securely connected to the camshaft. Within the drive wheel and the pump, there is an electromagnetically actuable control valve which controls the pressure medium connections between the pumps and the setting device (rotary piston control), i.e. it subject the pressure spaces to pressure or relieves them, so that the camshaft is correspondingly rotated relative to the drive wheel. The electromagnet of the control valve is actuated by means of a control unit influenced by sensors. The pressure medium supply to the setting device takes place via a hole in the camshaft. A very compact adjusting device for the camshaft is achieved in this way.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1994Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Geyer, Johann Mendle

Patent number: 5396872Abstract: The description relates to a fuel tank serving to provide fuel to the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The fuel tank contains a vessel arranged therein, from which vessel a delivery unit pumps fuel to the internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle and in which are arranged a plurality of jet pumps for filling the vessel, which jet pumps are connected to a line system which is charged with fuel by the delivery unit, the mixing tubes of the jet pumps opening out into the vessel. A reliable filling of the vessel with fuel is ensured in spite of the compact construction even when the tank is almost empty and under unfavorable operating conditions in that jet pumps connected in parallel to the line system are arranged at a common structural member and in that a suction line leads to each mixing tube, the openings of these suction lines remote of the structural member being situated in the tank at a distance from one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1994Date of Patent: March 14, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ernst Ruger, Gerhard Geyer, Martin Kling

Patent number: 4998523Abstract: An injection timing adjuster for internal combustion engines, by which a mutual rotational position of a driven shaft relative to a drive shaft is variable as a function of operating characteristics. The adjuster includes two pairs of cams serving as adjusting mechanisms, the adjusting cams are connected by bolts to intermediate elements, which in turn each are coupled, by one coupling pin, to two each hydraulically actuatable adjusting pistons disposed parallel to one another on one side of the adjuster. The adjusting pistons are guided in a piston holder, which has two lateral limiting faces, which together with two walls offstanding from the intermediate elements form a sliding guide for the intermediate elements. As a result of an improved sliding guidance, the injection timing adjuster can be used for transmitting higher drive outputs than previously in prior art adjusters.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1990Date of Patent: March 12, 1991Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Geyer, Johann Mendle, Hermann-Josef Dillmann

Patent number: 4566421Abstract: An apparatus for the rpm-dependent adjustment of the timing of an injection pump for internal combustion engines (shaft-type injection adjuster), in which a rotationally driven primary part is connected in a rotationally coupled manner with a secondary part but with the rotational angle between them being variable. The connection is effected via an axially displaceable sliding sheath, which is positively connected via at least one of the parts via a bevel gear and simultaneously acts as an adjusting piston. The working face of this adjusting piston is supplied with a control pressure by a centrifugal force control piston supported in a separate transverse bore in the primary part, either directly or with the intermediacy of an additional control piston, with respect to which then the adjusting piston effecting the coupling between the driving part and the driven part is embodied as a followup piston.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 1983Date of Patent: January 28, 1986Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Otto Bauer, Lernhard Eberl, Gerhard Geyer, Max Straubel
