Patent number: 4520779Abstract: A regulating device for controlling the position of an electromagnetic final control element, in particular in an internal combustion engine having self-ignition. The device includes a measurement value receptor as well as at least one regulating circuit having a non-linear characteristic which is influenced by its output and/or input signal. In addition to a proportional component, the non-linear regulating circuit may include an integration component and a differentiation component. The setting of at least the proportional component is varied, preferably in accordance with the deviation, so that in particular small deviations of the output and/or input signal are amplified to a greater extent than are larger deviations. In this manner, an extremely sensitive and precise regulation is attained.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1984Date of Patent: June 4, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4519547Abstract: An injection valve for fuel injection devices for internal combustion engines which serves to inject fuel into the intake pipe. The injection valve consists of a valve body with a valve seat cooperating with the sealing part of a valve needle. The valve needle is guided by guide sections in a guide bore of the valve body. The guide section immediately adjoining the sealing part simultaneously serves as a metering section for metering the fuel. For this purpose axially extending surfaces are disposed on the metering section, which form throttling metering openings together with the guide bore. By metering the fuel upstream from the valve seat, impairment of the fuel metering because of deposits formed by reaction of harmful materials from the intake pipe is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1982Date of Patent: May 28, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hans Kubach, Wolfgang Kienzle, Werner Paschke, Rudolf Sauer

Patent number: 4509715Abstract: A pressure control valve with an impact plate which serves as a regulator for a specific drop in pressure. The pressure control valve includes an armature disposed in an electromagnetic field established by an electromagnetic coil and a permanent magnetic field, with the armature being rotatably supported between two respective pole shoes located on each side of the armature. The pole shoes located on one side of the armature, in contrast to the pole shoes located on the other side, have an opposing magnetic polarity induced by the permanent magnet. The pole shoes which are not aligned opposite one another on armature 85, are approached by armature 85 with movement of the impact plate toward a valve seat, and causes an increase in the air gap planes facing the armature, as compared to the other two pole shoes, and thereby establishes a non-linear characteristic for the pressure control valve.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1982Date of Patent: April 9, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4501247Abstract: It is proposed for a fuel metering system that a final control element be triggered with a regulated direct-current signal having clock components dependent on operating characteristics of an internal combustion engine in order to influence a fuel metering means. A further proposal is that the acceleration enrichment be triggered during starting. In this manner the desired starting enrichment is obtained by way of the sum of the post-starting, warm-up and acceleration enrichment. The acceleration enrichment per se begins beyond a predetermined air flow gradient and then has a steady course up to a maximum value. This subject is disclosed in combination with a continuously operating injection system, in which a corresponding overall control signal is prepared in a control unit and delivered to an electrohydraulic final control element.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1982Date of Patent: February 26, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hermann Gassler, Eugen Joos, Hans Kubach, Wolfgang Maisch, Erich Singer

Patent number: 4491113Abstract: A current regulator is proposed for use in an electronically controlled, continuously operating gasoline injection system, with the aid of which a control element can be supplied with different current values depending upon the operating states of the engine. In addition to a current regulating phase during active operation, it is possible with the proposed current regulator to reverse the direction of current flow in the control element for the sake of blocking the supply of fuel during overrunning. Towards this end a circuit apparatus links signals relating to rpm, throttle valve position and temperature. Furthermore two safety circuit arrangements are proposed for the current regulator, so that in case of a failure of important components there is no impairment of safety, and emergency operation is assured.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1982Date of Patent: January 1, 1985Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hermann Gassler, Eugen Joos, Werner Jundt, Hans Kubach, Erich Singer

Patent number: 4475690Abstract: A magnetic valve is proposed, in particular a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, which has a valve housing, a conductor coil mounted on a core of ferromagnetic material, and an armature which carries a valve body cooperating with a valve seat. The core has an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, which are magnetically conductively connected with one another at one end face via a yoke. At the other end face, a circular-annular plate is magnetically conductively connected with the outer cylinder. The magnetic circuit is closed between the circular-annular plate and the inner cylinder via an armature, which has a plate-like element and a hollow cylindrical strut. The strut is located opposite the inner cylinder and with it forms a first air gap. The rim of the plate-like element of the armature is located opposite the circular-annular plate and with it forms a second air gap.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1982Date of Patent: October 9, 1984Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Asta Hascher-Reichl, Hans Kubach, Werner Gross

Patent number: 4473861Abstract: A control device is proposed for an electromagnetic engine valve or an electromagnetic final control element. The control device operates with closed-loop current control, and the maximum current is ascertained via a measuring resistor located in series with a switching transistor, while the free-running circuit is controlled in accordance with time. This control in accordance with time is effected via a comparator having dynamic positive feedback and acting as a comparison stage. The free-running control circuit includes a diode for protective purposes switched parallel to a transistor.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1982Date of Patent: September 25, 1984Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Kosak, Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4471914Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve, in particular a fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems. The valve includes a valve housing of ferromagnetic material and a core on which a magnetic coil is placed. An intermediate disk of ferromagnetic material is disposed on the end face of the cup-like valve housing. The passage bore has a lesser diameter than the inner bore of the valve housing. A flat armature partially protrudes beyond the stop face of the intermediate disk remote from the valve housing and again has a smaller diameter than the inner bore of the valve housing. Because of the small diameter of the flat armature, the flat armature has a small mass, so that short switching times of the valve are attainable.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1982Date of Patent: September 18, 1984Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Udo Hafner, Rudolf Krauss, Hans Kubach, Rudolf Sauer

Patent number: 4390857Abstract: An electromagnet is proposed which is intended in particular for controlling a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines. The electromagnetic includes a flat armature and a magnetic winding applied to a shell core of ferromagnetic material. In order to minimize the spatial dimensions of the magnetic circuit and to improve the rapidity of operation of the electromagnet, the quotient A/l.sub.m, where A is the window surface area of the shell core and l.sub.m is the average winding length of the magnetic coil, is selected to be as small as possible. Furthermore, the magnetic circuit is embodied such that at the onset of the attracting movement of the flat armature, a magnetic induction B which is approximately 70% of the saturation induction prevails in the vicinity of the two axially acting air gaps, which have magnetic surface areas, A.sub.1, A.sub.2 of approximately equal size.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1981Date of Patent: June 28, 1983Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4359991Abstract: A fuel control system for an internal combustion engine with correction for optimum values based on a variety of factors. Characteristic engine data is stored in preferably digital memories with capabilities for interpolation. Upon addressing the engine data fields with input signals related to current operational variables, for example the accelerator pedal position, the control system derives therefrom a nominal air flow rate which is used as the reference value in a control loop that sets the amount of recycled exhaust gas and the fresh air flow. As the actual air flow rate approaches the reference value, the fuel flow is adjusted to insure correct mixtures at all times. In another embodiment, the fuel is supplied on demand but cannot exceed a maximum value except under special override conditions. Several other embodiments and variants are presented.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1981Date of Patent: November 23, 1982Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gerhard Stumpp, Ludwig Walz, Gerhard Schielinsky, Wolf Wessel, Thomas Kuttner, Ulrich Flaig, Fridolin Piwonka, Hermann Eisele, Andreas Boehringer, Hans Kubach, Johannes Locher, Waldemar Becker

Patent number: 4293812Abstract: To equalize current flow through a pair of chokes supplying a d-c load from a d-c source, and, if desired, to limit current flow through either a single choke or both to a predetermined maximum value, without using measuring shunts, the voltage drop through the choke itself is being measured by summing circuits, which may form the algebraic sum or difference, respectively, of the voltages across the chokes, the sum or difference signals then being passed through low-pass filters to form signals representative of inductive voltage difference of two chokes, or of the voltage drop through one or both of them, which signals are then applied to respective regulators which, in turn, control the duty cycle of one or two semiconductor switches, respectively connected in series with the respective chokes.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1979Date of Patent: October 6, 1981Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hans Kubach, Hartmann Rupp

Patent number: 4191913Abstract: In a servo system for manipulating a displaceble member in response to movement of a control through corresponding changes of position, which operates by comparing an electrical signal representative of the position of the control with an electrical signal representative of the position of the displaceable member to provide error signals which can drive the displaceable member in either of two opposite directions, a safety interlock circuit is provided which detects the presence of an error signal in either direction immediately after the application of operating voltage or immediately after the switching of the machinery into a different mode of operation and locks the displaceable member in position if an error signal initially appears until the error signal is cancelled by bringing the manual control into a position corresponding with that of the displaceable member. Unexpected sudden movements that may endanger personnel are thereby prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1977Date of Patent: March 4, 1980Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Winfried Arnold, Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4185845Abstract: A digital or analogue regulator circuit for activating a pump or pressure reducing valve, whose action respectively raises and lowers the body of a vehicle relative to the rear axle, each operating with a time delay so that temporary level changes will not initiate a regulatory process. Feedback circuits provide hysteresis. In both embodiments, level changes are represented by changes in the collector potential of a transistor and positive and negative feedback are provided to the base of the transistor to create the hysteresis or dead zone. In the digital embodiment, a counter generates the delay and the negative feedback.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1978Date of Patent: January 29, 1980Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Misch, Hans Kubach

Patent number: 4085379Abstract: A differential amplifier is arranged to amplify faithfully the voltage produced by an ungrounded voltage source to provide the amplified result as a voltage in relation to a reference (ground) voltage. Errors resulting from leakage resistances between the ungrounded voltage source and ground are avoided by providing an inverting amplifier responsive to the output voltage, which draws, through a resistance, a current from a terminal of the voltage source which is proportional to the output voltage of the differential amplifier. This causes a shift of the potential of the voltage source in the direction towards the reference voltage. Optimum results are obtained when the shift is such that the variations in the voltage source being observed are caused to become balanced in relation to the reference potential.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1977Date of Patent: April 18, 1978Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hans Kubach, Peter Zieher
