Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, having a pump chamber defined by the pump piston and a pressure chamber adapted to communicate with the injection nozzle; and further including an intermediate piston disposed between the two work chambers, in which during the compression stroke of the intermediate piston a throttle conduit which branches off from the pump chamber can be opened, in order to allow some of the fluid to flow out of the pump chamber while leaving the injection quantity located in the pressure chamber unchanged, to thereby attain a lengthening of the injection duration.

Abstract: A fuel injection device of for internal combustion engines, particularly a unit fuel injector, having a pump piston preferably driven via a drive cam and having a free piston hydraulically driven by the pump piston, the free piston divides a pump chamber from a pressure chamber, from which a pressure line leads to an injection nozzle of the engine. Via a magnetic valve, the fuel to be injected is first metered into the pressure chamber during the intake stroke of the pump piston and subsequently, in the control stroke, an injection quantity determining the supply onset is metered into the pump chamber. The pump piston with spaced annular grooves serves as a reversal device. During the metering stroke, a maintenance pressure that is lower than the metering pressure of the fuel and is generated via a pressure control valve is maintained in the pump chamber.

The operative face on the blocking piston facing the pump work chamber is smaller than the face facing the control valve and the control valve is embodied as an ON/OFF valve.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines including a pump nozzle, a pump piston, preferably driven via a drive cam, and a pressure chamber disconnected from a pump chamber by an intermediate piston that preferably assumes its end postions in its working stroke, with a pressure line leading from the pressure chamber to an injection nozzle. The control of fuel quantity into the pressure chamber is effected via a control valve, preferably embodied as a magnetic valve, in a feed line that is also controlled by a control slide driven in synchronism with the pump piston. During one intake stroke segment of the pump piston, the feed line is connected to the pressure chamber; during another intake stroke segment, the feed pump is connected to a reservoir, so as to control the fill volume of the reservoir as a function of time.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines having externally supplied ignition, which enables introducing fuel injection quantities into combustion chambers in a manner that is controlled precisely in terms of quantity and of the instant of injection. The fuel injection device includes a first magnet valve by which fuel at injection pressure is pre-stored in a reservoir chamber, and the pre-stored quantity is ascertained by measurement of the deflection stroke of a reservoir piston which defines the reservoir chamber. Once the pre-storing process is complete, the pre-stored fuel quantity is then delivered to the injection valve with the air of a second magnetic valve. All that the fuel injection pump needs besides the two magnet valves and a control unit is a pre-feed pump, which pumps fuel into a high-pressure reservoir, so that while making limited demands on the pump generating the high pressure, a simple and very precisely functioning fuel injection device is created.

Abstract: To prevent slip-out or slide-out of a vehicle operating in a curve, the lateral stability or, respectively, instability of the vehicle is determined and, if instability or incipient instability is sensed, the vehicle is automatically braked, and/or engine torque of the vehicle engine is reduced. A reference parameter K, which may be variable in accordance with vehicle operating and operation conditions, is compared with a quotient of change of lateral forces applied to the front (V) and hind or rear (H) axles with respect to the change of the slip angle (.delta..sub.V, .delta..sub.H), and if the change of lateral force (.DELTA..sub.S /.DELTA..sub..delta.) at the respective axles, and passes the reference K. The respective axles can then be together or selectively braked in accordance with the extent of deviation from said comparison reference K and/or engine torque also reduced.

Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines in which beyond a predetermined remaining stroke during the supply stroke of the pump piston, a relief conduit is opened via a control edge. The same control edge closes the relief conduit once again during the intake stroke. During the subsequent effective intake stroke, the quantity of fuel to be injected upon the following compression stroke is metered by means of the electrically actuatable valve. The magnetic valve here is already opened before the closure of the relief conduit by the control edge, so that in the opening phase of the relief conduit, the pump work chamber of the fuel injection apparatus is flushed. In this manner, precise metering of the quantity of fuel to be injected is attained.

Abstract: A control device is proposed for regulating the exhaust gas recycling rate in an internal combustion engine with self-ignition in which combustion pressure signals are adjusted directly or indirectly to nominal values dependent on operating characteristics of the engine. In one particular embodiment the combustion pressure signal is differentiated and the frequency of certain occurring amplitude values is adjusted to a nominal value. Owing to the integration of specific combustion processes into the regulation, the device is capable of operating with relatively high precision. It is particularly well suited to compensate for drift phenomena.
