  • Patent number: 6332761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump for high-pressure fuel delivery in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines in a common rail injection system having a drive shaft that is supported in a pump housing. The drive shaft is eccentrically embodied or has a number of cam-like projections in the circumference direction, and a number of pistons are arranged radially in relation to the drive shaft. Each piston reciprocates a respective cylinder chamber and is moved in a reciprocating fashion in the cylinder chamber when the drive shaft rotates. A spring-preloaded check valve is assembled on the intake side and on the high pressure side, and a component that includes a through opening constitutes the respective cylinder chamber. A high-pressure delivery opening leads away from the cylinder chamber and in the sealing seat of the high pressure side check valve, opens out into a mounting opening of the component. The mounting opening contains the valve components.

  • Patent number: 5307778
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, having a pump piston that is axially guided in a cylinder bushing which defines a pump work chamber there and is moved axially by a cam drive counter to the force of a restoring spring. The cam drive comprises a roller tappet connected to the pump piston whose roller rolls off on a cam of a camshaft driven by the internal combustion engine to be supplied. In the process, the roller is connected to the cylindrical part of the roller tappet by means of a roller pin disposed vertically to the axis of the roller tappet. This roller pin is axially secured by means of the contact of its axial ends to the wall of a bore that guides the roller tappet, for which purpose the transition area between the face ends, which extend vertically to the axis of the roller pin, and the circumferential area of the roller pin is part of a circular ring. The radius of the circular ring cross-section is adapted to the diameter of the wall of the roller tappet guide.

  • Patent number: 5247917
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines with a plurality of pump elements in which the fuel injection quantity is varied via a governor rod, which is supported in a U-shaped guide rail; according to the invention, this guide rail is loaded in its middle region by at least one spring element, in order to prevent transverse vibration of the governor rod.

  • Patent number: 5152265
    Abstract: A control device including a reversing valve, disposed in fuel lines into which a feed pump is introduced between a fuel supply tank and a suction chamber of a fuel injection pump, by means of which valve, to turn off an internal combustion engine operated with the fuel injection pump, the line connections are variable in such a way that the suction chamber communicates with the intake side of the feed pump and the compression side of the feed pump communicates with the fuel supply tank. As its valve member, the reversing valve has a slide, which carries first and second double-seat-valve closing bodies that cooperate with corresponding valve seats. The first and second double-seat-valve closing bodies form sealing elements which are detachably buttoned onto the slide that are made of an elastically deformable material.
