  • Patent number: 4438746
    Abstract: An rpm governor of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed. The rpm governor includes a governor spring, which at one end engages a governor lever of the fuel injection pump and at the other end engages a correction lever. The other end of the correction lever is engaged by a correction spring, which is coupled at its other end with an adjusting member secured eccentrically relative to an adjusting shaft on an adjusting lever. The adjusting lever is connected with the adjusting shaft and is variable in its position by means of this shaft. The correction lever is supported between a roller and an adjusting gear wheel, which engages a rack zone of the correction lever. By rotating the adjusting gear wheel, the lever arms associated with the governor spring and the correction spring can be varied, thus varying the resultant spring force or spring constant engaging the governor lever in order to establish the degree of proportionality of the rpm governor.

  • Patent number: 4403582
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump, for internal combustion engines, wherein a fuel distributing plunger moves angularly and axially in synchronism with the rotation of the engine and which cooperates with a control sleeve which determines the beginning or termination of injection into the cylinders. The control sleeve is controlled by an electrical motor through the motor's rotating shaft which is biased by an urging device circumferentially. The motor shaft is rotated to a predetermined position where the amount of injected fuel becomes small enough to keep engine operation safe if the motor output force exerted on the motor shaft disappears owing to a defect occurring.

  • Patent number: 4367706
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for an air-compressing fuel injected internal combustion engine with a pump piston arranged in a pump cylinder and controlling a fuel control bore in the pump working chamber and with a control element in constant connection with the pump piston for the purposes of fuel control. The control element is constructed so that it constantly connects the pump working chamber to an intermediate chamber located above the control element and serving as a reservoir. The control element connects the pump working chamber and the pump pressure chamber by way of a bore arrangement only during a piston stroke. An arrangement is provided by which the communication between the pump working chamber and pump pressure chamber is temporarily interrupted during the piston stroke in such a way that, prior to the interruption, a variable preliminary injection quantity is conveyed and, after the interruption, a principal injection quantity is fed.

  • Patent number: 4348998
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for an internal combustion engine including a low pressure sump and a sump piston, reciprocating in a cylinder, for imparting elevated pressure to the fuel for delivery to injection valves. The pressure chamber in the pump cylinder can be opened to the sump at some adjustable point of the piston stroke to limit fuel delivery. A secondary conduit between the pressure chamber and the sump includes a flow throttle that variably restricts the return flow of fuel as adjusted by fluid pressure which is regulated by a secondary fuel control mechanism. This mechanism is subject to closed-loop control via an air flow rate meter disposed in the induction tube and also acts as a limiting stop for the baffle plate of the air flow rate meter.

  • Patent number: 4294210
    Abstract: A distributor-type fuel injector pump for an internal combustion engine has a rotary distributor member formed with two outlet passages communicating with a pump chamber and arranged to distribute fuel intermittently to successive fuel delivery apertures leading to respective engine cylinders, so that in each revolution of the distributor the pump delivers to each cylinder a principal fuel injection at the end of the compression stroke, preceded by a pre-injection. Automatic timing control means advance the delivery stroke of the pump automatically in response to engine speed increase, and the angle between the outlets of the two outlet passages is such that as the engine speed varies the ratio of the fuel pre-injected to that of the principal injection into each cylinder varies according to a rule predetermined in relation to the type of engine (i.e. precombustion chamber or direct injection type).

  • Patent number: 4289105
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump for a compression-ignition engine includes a cylinder having a bore therein and a pump piston which is mounted not only to reciprocate within the bore past a fuel supply port but also rotate therewithin. The pump piston has upper and lower control surfaces which each have a bowed shape. The center or centers of the control edges lies or lie above them, and in the region between the upper part loads and full load in the direction towards full load the upper control edge has a rising shape while the lower control edge has a falling shape. The lower control edge, by comparison with the remainder of its extent falls progressively less steeply towards full load and the upper control edge rises increasingly steeply, so that the compensation of delivery in accordance with speed is achieved predominantly by the upper control edge and there is obtained a speed-dependent advance of the start of delivery.
