  • Patent number: 10100795
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high pressure pump for a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail injection system, comprising a housing part (1) with a bore (2), in which a pump piston (3) is received such that it can be moved with a reciprocating movement, which pump piston (3) is supported via a tappet assembly (4) on a cam (5) or eccentric and delimits a pump working chamber (6) in the axial direction, which pump working chamber (6) can be filled with fuel via an upstroke valve (7) which is integrated into the high pressure pump. According to the invention, a feed bore (8) is configured in the housing part (1) in order to supply the upstroke valve (7) with fuel, which feed bore (8) is connected to a bore (11) of a further housing part (12), which bore (11) connects a pump interior chamber (9) and a tappet chamber (10).

  • Publication number: 20160138489
    Abstract: A high-pressure pump (2), which is used in particular as a radial or in-line piston pump for fuel injection systems of air-compressing, auto-ignition internal combustion engines (3), comprises a first pump assembly (8), a second pump assembly (9), and a drive shaft (6), which is used to drive the first pump assembly (8) and the second pump assembly (9). Furthermore, a first inlet valve (10) for a pump working chamber (11) of the first pump assembly (8) and at least one second inlet valve (14) for a pump working chamber (15) of the second pump assembly (9) are provided. The first inlet valve (10) is designed as a controlled inlet valve (10), wherein fuel pumping by the first pump assembly (8) can be at least substantially interrupted by the first inlet valve (10) in a partial-load operating mode. The invention further relates to a fuel injection system (1) having such a high-pressure pump (2).

  • Patent number: 9133804
    Abstract: A system (1) for feeding fuel from a tank (2) to an internal combustion engine (3) has:—an electrically actuated pre-feed variable-flow electric pump (9); —a high-pressure piston pump (10) having a pump casing (15) and piston movement mechanism (17) housed in the pump casing (16); and—a hydraulic circuit (7) comprising a first branch (11) for connecting the tank (2) to the pre-feed pump (9), a second branch (12) for connecting the pre-feed pump (9) to the high-pressure piston pump (10) and a third branch (13) for connecting the high-pressure piston pump (10) to the internal combustion engine (3); wherein the second branch (12) is configured to branch downstream of the pre-feed pump (9) into a first channel (12a) structured for conveying part of the fuel to the intake of the high-pressure piston pump (10) and for connecting the pre-feed pump (9) directly to the intake of the high-pressure piston pump (10), and into a second channel (12b) structured for conveying part of the fuel in the casing (15) and for conn

  • Patent number: 8371267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel pump comprising a drive shaft supported by bearings, and fuel flows through the bearings in a forced manner in such a way that the mechanical and thermal load-carrying capacity of the bearings, and thus the entire high-pressure fuel pump, is significantly increased.
