Such engine and throttle control units provide critical engine information and control using manufacturers proprietary codes that are readable by the interface engine control or independent throttle control input parameters.

Abstract: A control mechanism functions as a dual stage controller that is alternately and independently responsive to engine oil pressure and intake manifold pressure to adjust fuel delivery by one or more unit pumps. Engine oil pressure is delivered as a control input to one end of a piston bore. Manifold air pressure acts on a diaphragm to deliver another control input which acts on a control piston disposed for reciprocation in the bore. The diaphragm and associated control rod are axially opposed to the end of the bore to which engine oil pressure is delivered. During engine start up, oil pressure is low and a spring bias moves the control piston in a direction to increase fuel delivery. During start up, the control piston position is dependent upon engine oil pressure independent of manifold air pressure. After start up, the control piston position is a function of manifold air pressure independent from engine oil pressure.

Abstract: In a governor device of a diesel engine, a control rack of a fuel injection pump is adapted to be controllably actuated by a balance between a governor spring and an engine revolution speed responsive means. A speed control member is adapted to be manipulated for adjusting a tension force of the governor spring. A fuel limiting actuation member serves to prevent an excessive fuel flow from being injected when the speed control member is manipulated for a quick acceleration. A quick acceleration state detecting means serves to detect a quickly accelerated state of the engine so as to selectively change over the fuel limiting actuation member to a fuel limiting position and to a fuel limitation cancelling position depending on the lapse of time.

Abstract: A mechanical engine governor includes a gear driven input shaft and an output shaft. A fly-weight assembly is mounted on the input shaft to apply a torque to the output shaft which varies as a function of the rotational speed of the input shaft. An output plate assembly is secured to the output shaft to rotate with the output shaft and is coupled to a fuel metering device such as a fuel injection system for a diesel engine. A stop plate is mounted to rotate about the output shaft, and a spring is mounted between the output plate assembly and the stop plate. At engine speeds below 500 RPM this spring rotates the output plate assembly with respect to the stop plate to provide increased fuel delivery to the engine during engine start up. At speeds greater than 500 RPM the stop plate insures that the governor commands no more than a predetermined maximum continuous fuel flow to the engine.

The travel of the governor rod is limited in the direction of an increasing supply quantity by a governor rod stop including a starting spring. With the adjusting member resting on an end stop, the governor rod is pressed away from a basic test position (P) into its full-load position (V), and the differential travel (.DELTA.R) thereby resulting is absorbed by an accumulator in the governor linkage, preferably in the governor sleeve. The deflection stroke (A) of the accumulator is only slightly longer than that required to compensate for the differential travel (.DELTA.R).

Abstract: For shutting down a fuel injection combustion there is provided a spring-loaded and lockable stop (8), the locking member (13) of which can be retracted in a controlled manner by an operation paramenter, e.g. the number of revolutions. In the released position, the stop (8) acts on the fuel amount control rod (1) and moves this rod into zero-delivery position. Adjustment of the fuel amount control-rod (1) is effected by means of a servomotor, noting that on starting the fuel injection combustion engine the stop (8) is drawn by this servomotor into a position in which the stop is maintained by the locking member (13) until retracting same. This locking position of the lockable stop (8) simultaneously represents a stop for the maximum amount of fuel supplied by the injection pump and the fuel amount control rod can, during operation, be adjusted to any desired and just required amount of fuel supplied. If there occurs an inadmissible operating condition, e.g.

Abstract: A liquid fuel pumping apparatus includes a centrifugal weight mechanism 14 which is coupled to a fuel control member through a lever. A spring is provided to oppose the action of the weight mechanism and this is coupled through a lever having an adjustable pivot point, to the lever through a closure member carried about an axially movable member coupled to the weight mechanism. A drilling in the member is supplied with liquid under pressure at a restricted rate. The pressure of liquid acts upon the closure member to urge the closure member relative to the member so as to uncover a groove communicating with the drilling. The pressure of liquid in the drilling is controlled so that it varies in accordance with the square of the speed and in the event that the pressure fails the closure member and the axially movable member will move relative to each other to cause a reduction in the fuel supplied by the apparatus.
