Abstract: A fuel pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine has an injection pump supplied with fuel by a low pressure feed pump through an adjustable throttle. A fluid pressure operable piston is movable against the action of a spring to control the timing of delivery of fuel by the injection pump. Fuel under pressure is applied to the piston through a first fixed orifice from the feed pump. A second fixed orifice and a variable orifice are connected in series between a drain and the downstream side of the first fixed orifice. In parallel with the first fixed orifice is a constant pressure drop valve which maintains the pressure drops across the first fixed orifice substantially constant when the pressure drop has risen to a predetermined value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for adjusting the supply onset of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, by means of which the injection onset is adjustable in several stages. A roller tappet provided with a hydraulic tappet chamber for prestroke variation is fixable in defined positions via a control fluid. To this end the roller tappet has at least one first control bore and one second control bore communicating with the tappet chamber and can be made to communicate with openings in a housing bore that receives the tappet. The control bores are provided at differing heights, and/or with differing diameters or are offset from one another, at least one of the these control bores is closable by means of a control piston of the hydraulic tappet, and the control bores are openable as a function of an engine parameter via hydraulic lines.

Abstract: The invention is based on a fuel injection pump in which to supply a very rapid pressure rise in the interior of a fuel injection pump, a pressure valve controlling this pressure is modified such that upon cold starting of the engine, the pressure valve closes a bypass line at the feed pump and thus delivers all the fuel to the fuel injection pump. The closure is effected as a function of rpm and accordingly pressure, and also as a function of the engine operating temperature; in the fuel injection pump according to the invention, the rpm- and pressure-dependent diversion is performed by the adjusting piston of an injection adjuster. Thus, compared with the known cold-starting accelerating devices, one additional pressure limiting valve can be eliminated.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, in which for supplying a very rapid pressure rise in the interior of a fuel injection pump, a pressure control valve controlling this pressure is modified such that it is reliably closed upon cold starting of the engine. To this end, a control piston of a pressure control valve is acted upon on its back side by a restoring spring which is supported on one end by an adjustable stop, which is acted upon by the pressure building up in the fuel injection pump and in so doing seeks to bias the restoring spring. This causes a closure of an outflow throttle controlled by the control piston, so that all the fuel pumped by a feed pump remains in the pump interior and contributes to increasing the pressure. With the aid of this pressure, a very rapid adjustment of an injection adjusting piston (4) is effected in a direction of an early onset of fuel injection that promotes cold starting and warmup.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines which has an rpm-proportional injection onset adjusting device, a pressure control valve controlling the supply pressure (phd f), a cold-start acceleration device having a pressure valve associated with the pressure control valve, and a full-load stop, controlled by an adjustment device, for limiting the maximum full-load quantity injected by the fuel injection pump. The adjustment device has a piston, which is acted upon on one end by the supply pressure in the suction chamber of the injection pump and on the other end by a pressure (p.sub.a) that is made to differ from the supply pressure by means of two separate throttles. The two throttles have the effect that if the pressure valve is closed, the adaptation device is subjected to a differential pressure which is approximately equal to that when the pressure valve is opened, and so the full-load courses attained in normal operation and in cold operation are virtually identical.

A pump shaft is partially disposed in an injection pump housing. A feeding member leads from the pump housing to the pump shaft.

Abstract: An improved fuel supply system for a turbocharged diesel engine, of the general type comprising a fuel pump which conveys fuel at an intermediate pressure to a high-pressure distributor which has a fuel-injection timing piston that adjusts the injection timing as a function of the intermediate fuel pressure. The improved system includes a control unit which reduces the pressure applied to the timing piston when the engine is subjected to a demand for increased fueling at low turbocharger boost pressures. This causes the injection timing to be retarded, which in turn increases the exhaust temperature and pressure and, thus, increases the turbocharger boost pressure. After a controlled interval during which boost pressure has risen the desired amount, the control unit allows the pressure applied to the timing piston to rise back to its former value, whereupon the injection timing returns to normal.

Pressurized fuel from the pumping chamber is forced through the pump passage and a transverse bore (170) in the center of the spill valve, into an outlet passage (46) for delivery to the outlet nozzle. The forces on the valve are balanced during this injection event. Inlet fuel enters the valve bore and passes through the spill valve through another transverse bore (171), which is fluidly connected to the pump passage. A simplified spill pressure regulating valve (139, 141) and a dual piston cam ring timing adjustment arrangement (326, 328) are also disclosed.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine is of the rotary distributor type and has a high pressure pump which includes a cam ring which is angularly adjustable by means of a piston to vary the timing of fuel delivery. The piston is biased to a position suitable for starting the engine by a first spring, the first spring being located between the piston and a collar. The latter is biased by a second preloaded spring against which the piston can move after the clearance between the piston and collar has been taken up. An electromagnetic device includes an armature core which can exert a thrust on the piston but which in the absence of fluid pressure is unable to move the piston against the springs. When fluid pressure is applied to the piston the combined forces acting on the piston are sufficient to move the piston to the limit of movement of the armature core to compress the first spring and also partly to compress the second spring.

The adjusting device has an adjusting cylinder, which is directed parallel to the pump cylinder and is accommodated in the housing of the injection pump, and adjusting piston and a restoring spring and adjusts a control sleeve, which opens the pump piston provided with at least one control recess in the longitudinal direction of the pump piston. This orientation and disposition of the adjusting cylinder effects a space-saving and inexpensive design of the injection pump and improves the precision of adjustment. The adjusting piston and the control sleeve may be directed coaxially and embodied as a single component, as a result of which a further space saving and increase in adjustment precision are attained.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump is proposed, which is provided with a hydraulically operating injection adjuster device which is acted upon by a pressure which is determined by the feed pressure of a feed pump driven in synchronism with the fuel injection pump and by the control behavior of a pressure control valve. The pressure control valve has a piston controlling a relief line, and the piston is controllable by means of the pressure to be fed in, counter to the restoring force of a spring, and counter to a pressure controlled via a pressure maintenance valve and a switchable relief valve disposed parallel thereto. The valve is also connected to a device for adjusting the biasing of an idling spring of the governor of the fuel injection pump. With the increasing of the set pressure for the injection adjusting device upon closure of the valve, the biasing of the idling spring and thereby the idling rpm are both increased whenever the instant of injection is shifted toward "early" during starting and warmup.
