Abstract: A fuel pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a positively reciprocated plunger which during movement in a fuel delivery direction displaces fuel from a first chamber and draws fuel into a second chamber and vice versa. The fuel displaced from the first chamber is used to displace a shuttle towards one end of a cylinder from which extends an outlet. Fuel displaced from the second chamber is used initially to displace the shuttle away from the one end of a cylinder until a control valve is closed and is then supplied to an accumulator which before the control valve is closed supplies fuel to the first chamber.

The plungers can therefore be positively reciprocated within the bore.

Abstract: A fuel injection pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine comprises a rotary distributor member having a transverse bore mounting pumping plungers arranged to be moved inwardly by cam lobes on a cam ring. The outward movement of the plungers is controller by varying the axial position of the distributor member. Fuel flows from the bore by way of a delivery passage to an outlet and also when the distributor member is set to provide low fuel delivery through a restricted passage and a flow channel. The period in terms of degrees of rotation of the distributor member for a given displacement of fuel through the outlet is extended as compared with an apparatus in which the restricted passage and flow channel are not provided. The cam ring is also angularly adjustable and the restricted passage and flow channel are positioned so that flow of fuel through the restricted passage ceases as the cam ring moves angularly with increasing speed.

Spill ports of the same number as that of the cylinders of the engine communicating with a pump chamber are opened at an equal peripheral interval on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor, and a spill ring to cover the spill ports is slidably mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the rotor. A spill groove is formed to extend axially on the inner peripheral surface of this spill ring. One edge of the spill groove, which initially meets the respective spill ports during the pressurizing step for pressurizing the fuel in the pump chamber, is inclined to the axis, and the other edge of the spill groove is parallel to the axis.

Abstract: A member is formed with first and second cam protrusions. First and second movable plungers define a common pumping chamber, the volume of which varies in accordance with the position of each of the plungers. The plungers alternately engage the cam protrusions and are reciprocated thereby in synchronism with rotation of an engine crankshaft. Fuel is supplied to the pumping chamber as the pumping chamber expands. The fuel is directed out of the pumping chamber toward an engine combustion chamber to effect a fuel injection stroke as the pumping chamber contracts. The timing of engagement of one of the plungers with one of the cam protrusions and the timing of engagement of the other plunger with the other cam protrusion are offset by a preset angular interval with respect to rotation of the crankshaft, the interval being chosen so that the rate of fuel injection during an initial stage of the fuel injection stroke is relatively small.

As inlet port communicates with the rotor assembly to deliver a working substance into the chamber as the pistons approach a top dead center position in the chamber while an outlet port also communicates with the rotor to exhaust the working substance as the pistons approach a bottom dead center position. The displacement of the blower is varied by adjusting the amount of eccentricity between the center of rotation of the pistons and the center of rotation of the rotor assembly.

Abstract: An improved timing control mechanism is provided for an engine-driven fuel injection pump of the type having plungers actuated by an adjustable cam. The cam is adjusted by the linear displacement of a timing piston operating in a cylinder. A pressurized hydraulic fluid admitted to a pressure chamber at one end of the cylinder provides a force against one end of the timing piston which is opposed by a biasing element, such as a spring. A rotary servo valve extends into an axial bore in one end of the timing piston for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid through a control orifice formed in the wall of the piston bore and connecting with the cylinder's pressure chamber. The servo valve is axially fixed and includes an inclined, typically helical, control edge. Upon rotation of the valve, as by an electric rotary stepper motor, the control edge effectively moves "axially" relative to the control orifice to vary flow therethrough and thus cause the piston to track that "axial" positioning of the control edge.
