Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed in which cavitation is avoided at the sealing surface between a threaded connection element which contains the pressure valve and a securing flange of the pressure valve housing which protrudes radially outwardly therefrom. The securing flange is attached to a cylindrical portion on the end of the valve housing remote from the pressure line leading to the injection nozzle and a sealing member is fitted into an intermediate chamber between the cylindrical portion and an inner wall of the threaded connection element. This sealing member is pressed with at least one annular contact surface onto the cylindrical housing portion and with a different contact surface, axially displaced with respect to the first, is pressed against the threaded connection element. The sealing member may be embodied as a thin-walled sheet-metal sleeve, may comprise a spiral spring, or may be made of plastic.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, particularly Diesel engines having a pressure valve disposed between the pump working chamber and the pressure line leading to the injection nozzle, said pressure valve including a flange on its lower terminal end remote from said pressure line, said pressure valve arranged to be pressed by the end face of a hollow-cylindrical threaded connection element having an inner disposed wall downwardly toward a pump cylinder, and an annular chamber disposed between said inner wall of the threaded connection element and said pressure valve, further wherein a protective sealing means is positioned in said chamber, said sealing means further including at least two annular contact surfaces axially displaced relative to one another and one each of which contact surfaces is arranged to engage said pressure valve and said inner wall of said threaded connection element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, particularly Diesel engines having a pressure valve disposed between the pump working chamber and the pressure line leading to the injection nozzle, said pressure valve including a flange on its lower terminal end remote from said pressure line, said pressure valve arranged to be pressed by the end face of a hollow-cylindrical threaded connection element having an inner disposed wall downwardly toward a pump cylinder, and an annular chamber disposed between said inner wall of the threaded connection element and said pressure valve, further wherein a protective sealing means is positioned in said chamber, said sealing means further including at least two annular contact surfaces axially displaced relative to one another and one each of which contact surfaces is arranged to engage said pressure valve and said inner wall of said threaded connection element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said protective sealing means comprises a thin-walled sheet-metal sleeve and said pressure valve includes a cylindrical housing portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
44 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 2, further wherein said thin-walled sheet-metal sleeve includes contact surfaces, at least one of said surfaces being pressed against said cylindrical housing portion and another of said contact surfaces being pressed against said threaded connection element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 3, further wherein said one contact surface pressed against said cylindrical housing portion is oriented toward said pressure line and said other contact surface pressed against said threaded connection element is disposed toward said pump working chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 2, further wherein said sealing means comprises a spiral spring, at least one coil of which rests on the cylindrical housing portion and another coil thereof rests on the inner wall of said threaded connection element.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said sealing means comprises a plastic member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fuel injection pump in accordance with claim 2, further wherein said sealing means is substantially the length of said cylindrical housing portion.
