Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump is provided which stops fuel discharge when a movable member for pressurizing the fuel is lifted beyond top dead center, thereby leaving a cam ring. The pump prevents the movable member from colliding with the cam ring and damaging the members of the pump. The movable member has a plunger. An outer diameter d of one portion of the plunger has a diameter smaller than an inner diameter D2 of an inner fitting surface of a cylinder in which the plunger is positioned. An outer diameter D1 of a different portion of the plunger is somewhat larger than the inner diameter D2 of the inner fitting surface of the cylinder. When a drive shaft overruns, the speed of an orbital movement of the cam. ring and a speed of reciprocating movements of the movable member increases. This causes an inertial force of the movable member in the lifting direction thereof to exceed an urging force of a spring. As such, the plunger is sometimes lifted beyond a top dead center.

Abstract: A camshaft has a cam having a circular profile. A cam-ring is rotatably arranged on a radial outside of the cam. The cam-ring orbits around the cam.

The cam has a groove inclined with respect to a rotating axis of the cam. The groove has openings on both axial ends of the cam. The groove introduces fuel as a lubricant into a gap between the cam and the metal bush. The fuel introduced into the gap improves a lubricity and prevents a sticking.

Abstract: An improved fuel delivery and injection system for a small watercraft engine reduces the heat effects within an enclosed engine compartment upon various components of the engine and upon the fuel within the fuel system. The fuel system integrates a fuel pump within a fuel tank at a location which minimizes the effects of watercraft leaning. The inlet of the fuel pump desirably corresponds, in the lateral direction, with a position of an inlet to the jet pump unit. In this position, the pump is less likely to draw air as the watercraft maneuvers. The fuel lines also are arranged within the engine to minimize the effect of engine heat produced by the exhaust system on the fuel delivery lines. The arrangement of the fuel pump and fuel delivery lines consequently improves the consistency of the fuel/air ratio within the fuel charge produced by the engine as less air and vapor delivered to the fuel injectors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to engines having common rail fuel injection systems. In traditional common rail fuel injection systems, each fuel injector utilized by the fuel system includes its own solenoid.

A fuel drain circuit communicates with the bore at a drain location spaced a predetermined seal length axially along the bore from an outer opening of the bore through which the plunger extends. The predetermined seal length is specifically designed less than the predetermined stroke length to cause lube oil on the outer portion of the plunger to be delivered by the plunger to the fuel drain circuit at the drain location.

Abstract: When a pump operates, a check valve body leaves a check valve seat due to a pump side fuel pressure for opening a fluid passage inside a pressure adjusting valve body. When the pump does not operate, the check valve body contacts the check valve seat due to an engine side fuel pressure for closing the fluid passage. Thus, the engine side fuel is prevented from flowing-back to the pump.

Abstract: To provide a fuel supply apparatus capable of preventing seizure of a plunger by preventing deformation of a cylinder caused by attaching attachment parts, and capable of being decreased in size, respective attachment parts of a fuel inlet, a delivery valve and a pressure regulator are threadably attached to a housing on a same cross-sectional plane orthogonal to an axis of a high pressure fuel pump, and imaginary extended regions extending seat surfaces of the housing in a direction of attaching thereof, are disposed outside of an outer peripheral surface of a cylinder. Accordingly, even when the attachment parts push the seat surfaces in threadably attaching the respective attachment parts to the housing, almost no axial forces are exerted on the cylinder. Therefore, an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder can be prevented from being deformed, and a sliding clearance between the cylinder and a plunger is prevented from being reduced in size.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump, with an injection adjusting piston that serves to adjust the onset of injection, in which due to an off-center coupling to a cam part of the cam drive of a fuel injection pump embodied as a distributing injection pump, the injection adjusting piston is subjected to tilting moments during operation. In addition, the injection adjusting piston is subjected to other forces by means of a radially produced pressure fluid supply on a side of the injection adjusting piston disposed essentially opposite the coupling, and these other forces, together with the tilting moment forces, produce high, one-sided pressure loads in the radial direction on the injection adjusting piston. By producing a second pressure field, the injection adjusting piston undergoes a compensation of the above-mentioned forces acting on the injection adjusting piston and consequently experiences a significantly reduced radial load.
