Patent number: 6568927Abstract: A high-pressure piston pump with a plurality of pump elements is connected on the intake side to a pump that pumps fuel at low pressure in a regulated quantity. Each pump element is preceded on the intake side by a first and a second check valve in series. The first check valve opens counter to spring force in the intake phase of the pump element and closes in the pumping phase. The second check valve opens counter to spring force and closes, reinforced by spring force, at pressures of the fuel supplied by the pump that are higher than the negative pressure generated in a cylinder chamber of the pump element. The second check valve takes on the metering of the fuel supplied to the pump element; the first check valve blocks off the cylinder chamber counter to the check valve in the pumping phase, whereby the piston pump serves to supply fuel at high pressure in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, especially in a common rail injection system.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Josef Guentert

Patent number: 6446604Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump for high-pressure fuel supply in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, in particular in a common rail injection system. The piston pump has a drive shaft which is eccentrically supported in a pump housing and on which a ring is slidingly supported. The ring cooperates with a plurality of pistons, disposed radially relative to the drive shaft in a respective cylinder chamber. The pistons are movable radially back and forth in the respective cylinder chamber by rotation of the drive shaft. To increase the efficiency of the engine, the cylinder chambers are filled with less fuel when demand drops. In this so-called partial element filling, in which a plate is retained in contact with a polygonal ring, increased wear and damage are prevented. The wear is brought about by a guide device which prevents rotation of the ring about its own axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2000Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josef Guentert, Bernd Streicher, Kasim-Melih Hamutcu

Patent number: 6347574Abstract: A radial piston pump for generating high fuel pressure in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, having a drive shaft which is supported in a pump housing. The drive shaft is embodied eccentrically or has camlike protrusions in the circumferential direction. A plurality of pistons are disposed radially with respect to the drive shaft in a respective cylinder chamber. A plate is mounted on the ends of each piston toward the drive shaft, and the pistons are movable back and forth radially in the respective cylinder chamber by rotation of the drive shaft. Wear problems are solved by providing that the plate is pivotably connected to the associated piston. By the deflection of the plate on the piston, the load on the piston from moments of the bracing force is lessened.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2000Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Robert Bosch, GmbHInventors: Josef Guentert, Klaus Wuerth, Hans-Juergen Simon, Thomas Schwarz, Kasim-Melih Hamutcu

Patent number: 6332761Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: December 25, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josef Guentert, Hansjoerg Frey

Patent number: 6244832Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump for high-pressure fuel delivery in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, in particular in a common rail injection system, having a housing, a drive shaft that is supported in the pump housing and has an eccentrically embodied shaft segment. A ring is slidingly supported on the shaft segment and cooperates with a plurality of pistons. The pistons are disposed radially with respect to the drive shaft in a respective cylinder chamber. Ends of the pistons oriented toward the drive shaft each have a respective plate. To improve engine efficiency, the cylinder chambers are filled with less fuel as the demand drops, this prevents increased wear and damage from occurring during operation. The problem of wear and damage is solved in that all the plates are kept in contact with the ring by a leaf-spring-like device, in particular a single clamp. In a radial piston pump in which a plate is held by a plate holder, the plate holder is secured to the ring.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1999Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josef Guentert, Hans-Juergen Simon, Bernd Streicher

Patent number: 6186120Abstract: A high-pressure pump for supplying fuel in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, including a common rail injector system. The fuel injection system includes a low-pressure part that contains a fuel tank and a prefeed pump and a high-pressure part that contains a high-pressure pump and a common rail into which a fuel flow is fed from the high-pressure pump through a common conduit. The high-pressure pump system solves a problem in that there is an integrated demand-based quantity control for the fuel flow pumped by the high-pressure pump. The demand-based quantity control integrated with the high-pressure pump contributes to improving the overall engine efficiency, because the power consumption by the high-pressure pump drops as a result.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Josef Guentert, Juergen Hammer
