Patent number: 4398518Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines is proposed (FIG. 1), in which the onset and end of injection are determined by a hydraulically actuated control slide. The injection pumps of the apparatus, which are preferably combined with an injection nozzle to make a pump/nozzle unit, having a central magnetic valve assembly comprising two magnetic valves switched hydraulically in parallel, which valve assembly is inserted in a connection between a control pressure line, which can be placed under control pressure (P.sub.S) from a source of control fuel, and a low-pressure line which is under supply pressure (P.sub.V). In order to initiate the onset of injection, the control slide is placed under control pressure (P.sub.S) by the valve assembly via a distributor apparatus and closes an overflow channel leading out of the pump work chamber. In order to control the end of the injection, the control slide, during its return stroke, relieves this overflow channel toward a low-pressure line.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 1981Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Robert-Bosch GmbHInventors: Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet, Max Straubel

Patent number: 4398519Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines is proposed in which the onset and end of injection are determined by a hydraulically actuated control slide. The injection pumps of the apparatus, which are preferably combined with an injection nozzle to make a pump/nozzle unit have a central control pressure pump supplied with fuel by a supply pump. The control pressure pump creates a control pressure (p.sub.S) which is a multiple increase in comparison to the supply pressure (p.sub.V) of the supply pump and actuates the control slide. Each control slide is placed under control pressure (p.sub.S) to initiate the onset of injection via a control line which is separated from the filling lines of the injection pump and closes an overflow channel which leads away from the pump work chamber. At the end of injection the control slide again relieves this overflow channel to a supply line during its return stroke.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1981Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Robert-Bosch GmbHInventors: Raymond Tissot, Jean Leblanc, Jean Pigeroulet

Patent number: 4387686Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus (FIG. 1) for internal combustion engines is proposed, in which the onset and end of injection are determined by means of a hydraulically actuated control slide. The injection pumps of the apparatus, preferably combined with an injection nozzle to make a pump/nozzle unit, have a central control fuel source represented by a supply pump and a first pressure limitation valve, which generates a control pressure (p.sub.S) actuating the control slide which is several times greater than the supply pressure (p.sub.V) determined by a second pressure limitation valve.

Patent number: 4343280Abstract: A valving arrangement is disclosed for varying the quantity and timing of fuel injections of a jerk pump (10) associated with an internal combustion engine. The arrangement consists of a bypass valve (40) in communication with the injection chamber (22) of the jerk pump (10) which produces a controlled bypass of fuel rather than being delivered through the injector delivery valve (42) to the engine cylinders.
