Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, in which a solenoid valve controlled by at least one of the state variables essential for operation of the engine, such as load, engine speed, pressure and temperature of combustion air, etc., controls the injection process by means of a shut-off device loaded by a spring on one end, the shut-off device being in one end position during the time of injection, but is subject to the feed pressure on both ends and is resting in the other end position while the pump is being filled. The chamber guiding the end of the slide-type shut-off device opposite the spring, is directly linked with the pump chamber of the high-pressure pump by a duct. In this manner the reversal of the slide takes place abruptly, which will permit a much better adaptation of the injection process to the different state variables of the combustion engine than before.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
255 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, including a pump body having a pump cylinder and a guide bore transversely disposed thereto, an externally actuated pump plunger reciprocable in said cylinder and defining therewith a pump pressure chamber, a slide-type shutoff device disposed for sliding movement within said bore, said pump body having a fuel feed duct and fuel channel means connecting said duct with opposite ends of said device, a return spring within said body at one end of said device, one of said pump body and said device having a connecting channel extending between said chamber and an opposite end of said device, said device having an annular peripheral groove and bore means extending from said groove into said one end, said pump body further having an annular groove connected with said duct, opening toward said chamber and being disposed directly beneath said pump plunger when in its upper end position, solenoid actuated valve means controlled by at least one of the state variables essential for operation of the engine, such as load, engine speed, pressure and temperature of combustion air, etc., is provided for controlling the injection process by means of said device, said device under the action of said spring being disposed during the filling phase of the pump such that said peripheral groove thereof opens into said chamber, and said device being disposed in a fuel injection position thereof such that said peripheral groove thereof is covered by said pump body at the wall of said guide bore thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
255 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, including a pump body having a pump cylinder and a guide bore transversely disposed thereto, an externally actuated pump plunger reciprocable in said cylinder and defining therewith a pump pressure chamber, a slide-type shutoff device disposed for sliding movement within said bore, said pump body having a fuel feed duct and fuel channel means connecting said duct with opposite ends of said device, a return spring within said body at one end of said device, one of said pump body and said device having a connecting channel extending between said chamber and an opposite end of said device, said device having an annular peripheral groove and bore means extending from said groove into said one end, said pump body further having an annular groove connected with said duct, opening toward said chamber and being disposed directly beneath said pump plunger when in its upper end position, solenoid actuated valve means controlled by at least one of the state variables essential for operation of the engine, such as load, engine speed, pressure and temperature of combustion air, etc., is provided for controlling the injection process by means of said device, said device under the action of said spring being disposed during the filling phase of the pump such that said peripheral groove thereof opens into said chamber, and said device being disposed in a fuel injection position thereof such that said peripheral groove thereof is covered by said pump body at the wall of said guide bore thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
The fuel injection pump according to claim 1 wherein said solenoid actuated valve means is disposed for controlling said fuel channel means from said duct to said opposite end of said device, said solenoid actuated valve means including a valve spring loaded in direction opposite a closing position, and including means energizing said valve into the closing position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The fuel injection pump according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said bore means of said device is provided with an adjustable throttling element.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The fuel injection pump acording to claim 4, wherein said valve means comprises a disc valve, said return spring being supported on said disc valve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
The fuel injection pump according to claim 6, wherein an outer end of said disc valve defines a step when said device is disposed in said fuel injection position.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
78 words
The fuel injection pump according to claim 3, wherein said solenoid actuated valve means includes said throttling element which comprises a pair of spaced webs, said bore means of said device including an axial through-bore provided in said device and radial bores extending outwardly thereof, one of said webs being slideable along said through-bore, and the other of said webs being disposed for controlling said fuel channel means from said duct to said opposite end of said device.
