  • Publication number: 20040089831
    Abstract: The fuel injection apparatus has at least one solenoid valve (50) for controlling the fuel injection. The solenoid valve (50) is triggered by an electrical control unit (52) and has a magnetic coil (88) and a movable magnetic armature (88). The magnetic armature (80) can move a valve element (56) between at least two positions. The magnetic armature (88) is at least essentially comprised of an alloy, which at least contains iron and cobalt, wherein the cobalt content is between 10% and 50%. The control unit (52) evaluates the chronological progression of the current conduction through the magnetic coil (88) and based on it, determines the time of a switching state of the solenoid valve (50) at which a fuel injection begins.

  • Patent number: 6413054
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump having a cam drive and an injection adjuster piston, acting on the cam drive and serving the purpose of an injection onset adjustment. The injection adjuster piston on a face end encloses at least one pressure chamber that via a control valve is either made to communicate with a pressure source or a relief line or can be closed entirely. The control valve is actuated by an a proportional electromagnet. As a result, only a little adjusting medium is required, to obtain a high efficiency of the injection onset adjustment, and advantageously the injection adjuster piston is stressed only axially, and frictional forces on the circumference of the injection adjuster piston are thus avoided.

  • Patent number: 6280160
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump of the distributor type which has a reciprocatingly driven pump piston that is load-bearing in a rotating distributor shaft which pumps fuel out of a pump work chamber to various fuel injection valves via a distributor opening. To control the duration of high-pressure injection, an electrically actuated valve is provided with a valve member in a valve chamber that communicates with the pump work chamber and from a second valve chamber, communicates with a low-pressure region. To terminate the high-pressure injection, the valve member makes a communication between the two valve chambers, whereupon the outflow of the fuel stream is controlled by disposing a diameter constriction in the connecting line, thus reducing any tendency to cavitation.
