Patent number: 6883498Abstract: A pressure booster of a fuel injection system includes a displaceable piston unit (30a, 31a), which on one end can be subjected to pressure via a pressure booster chamber on the low-pressure side and on the other end has a pressure booster chamber on the high-pressure side for fuel compression. The piston unit has a further piston cross section, which is reduced compared to the first piston cross section provided for imposing pressure, for embodying a differential chamber that is connectable to a leak fuel line. At least one control conduit connects the pressure booster chamber on the low-pressure side to the differential chamber, whose opening is closed or opened as a function of the motion of at least parts of the piston unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2002Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Braun, Bernd Mahr, Martin Kropp, Hans-Christoph Magel

Publication number: 20050077378Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for injecting fuel into the combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine includes a high pressure accumulator, a pressure booster, and a metering valve. The pressure booster includes a working chamber and a control chamber that are separated from each other by an axially movable piston. A pressure change in the control chamber produces a pressure change in a compression chamber that acts on a nozzle chamber via a fuel inlet. The nozzle chamber encampasses a nozzle needle. A nozzle spring chamber that acts on the injection valve element can be filled on the high-pressure side via a line that leads from the compression chamber and contains an inlet throttle restriction. On the outlet side, the nozzle spring chamber is connected to a chamber of the pressure booster via a line that contains an outlet throttle restriction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Inventors: Martin Kropp, Hans-Christoph Magel, Manfred Mack, Christian Grimminger

Patent number: 6814057Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines has at least one stroke-controlled injector. A pressure booster that has a movable piston is connected between the at least one injector and a high-pressure working medium source. The movable piston divides a primary chamber, which can be connected to the high-pressure working medium source, from a pressure chamber that communicates with the at least one injector and is filled with fuel. The pressure booster generates a first fuel system pressure in the injector, which is used for the injection. The fuel injection system has means for furnishing a further, second fuel system pressure, and these means can be used for injection without activating the pressure booster.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Bernd Mahr, Martin Kropp, Hans-Christoph Magel

Publication number: 20040195387Abstract: A fuel injector for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, having a pressure booster in which the piston divides a work chamber, acted upon permanently by fuel via a pressure source, from a pressure-relievable differential pressure chamber. A pressure change in the differential pressure chamber is effected via an actuation of a servo valve. The control chamber of the servo valve can be pressure-relieved via a relief valve and which opens or closes a hydraulic connection of the differential pressure chamber with a return. For closing the servo valve piston, the control chamber can be acted upon by a fuel volume diverted from the differential pressure chamber. The action of fuel on the control chamber is effected via lines that contain throttle restrictions. A pressure relief of the control chamber is effected via a relief valve into a return on the low-pressure side.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2004Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventor: Hans-Christoph Magel
