Abstract
Abstract A pressure valve is proposed which is installed in the supply line which leads from a fuel injection pump to a fuel injection valve. The pressure valve has a return-feed collar provided with a throttle connection and a relief conduit is provided parallel to the return-feed collar and to the valve closing member sealing face. Via a check valve and a throttle, the relief conduit establishes the communication between the supply line toward the injection pump and the supply line toward the injection valve. By means of the combination of the return-feed collar having a throttle with a check valve acting as a pressure maintenance valve, a desired residual pressure can be established in an adapted manner in the supply line toward the injection valve, and the injection duration in particular can be adapted to the requirements of a fuel injection pump which pumps at a reduced feed rate during idling operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
195 words
A pressure valve for installation in a supply line between a pump work chamber of a fuel injection pump and an injection valve in an internal combustion engine supplied by said fuel injection pump, comprising a valve seat body having a valve seat and a passageway in which a pressure valve closing member is guided, said closing member having a portion disposed between said valve seat and a compression spring supported in a fixed manner in a spring chamber, a sealing face on said closure member arranged to cooperate with said valve seat, a return-feed collar on said closure member arranged to pass into said passageway connected to said pump work chamber, a relief conduit in said closure member, a throttle member, said relief conduit arranged to be connected to said spring chamber via said throttle member, and to a part of said passageway being permanently connected to said pump work chamber upstream of said return-feed collar, said throttle member having a check valve, a closing spring means supported on said valve closing member and said return-feed collar being provided with a throttle means on its circumference arranged to connect adjacent parts of said passageway.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
195 words
A pressure valve for installation in a supply line between a pump work chamber of a fuel injection pump and an injection valve in an internal combustion engine supplied by said fuel injection pump, comprising a valve seat body having a valve seat and a passageway in which a pressure valve closing member is guided, said closing member having a portion disposed between said valve seat and a compression spring supported in a fixed manner in a spring chamber, a sealing face on said closure member arranged to cooperate with said valve seat, a return-feed collar on said closure member arranged to pass into said passageway connected to said pump work chamber, a relief conduit in said closure member, a throttle member, said relief conduit arranged to be connected to said spring chamber via said throttle member, and to a part of said passageway being permanently connected to said pump work chamber upstream of said return-feed collar, said throttle member having a check valve, a closing spring means supported on said valve closing member and said return-feed collar being provided with a throttle means on its circumference arranged to connect adjacent parts of said passageway.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 1, further wherein said throttle means comprises a flattened area on the outer circumference of said return-feed collar.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 1, further wherein said pressure valve closing member further includes an annular end face provided with a protrusion, a cup-shaped part having an outer collar seated on said annular end face, said compression spring arranged to be supported on said outer collar, a chamber enclosed by said cup-shaped part, said cup-shaped part receiving said check valve, and a closing member adapted to control a throttle bore which extends through said cup-shaped part.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 2, further wherein said pressure valve closing member further includes an annular end face provided with a protrusion, a cup-shaped part having an outer collar seated on said annular end face, said compression spring arranged to be supported on said outer collar, a chamber enclosed by said cup-shaped part, said cup-shaped part receiving said check valve, and a closing member adapted to control a throttle bore which extends through said cup-shaped part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
A pressure valve a defined by claim 3, further wherein said cup-shaped part includes a bottom and said throttle bore is disposed in said bottom.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
49 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 4, further wherein said throttle bore further includes a divergent area arranged to form a valve seat in said closing member of said check valve and said closing spring means of said check valve supported on a protrusion of said closing member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 3, further wherein said closing member of said check valve comprises a ball which is guided in a spring plate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 1, further wherein opening pressure of said check valve is approximately equal to the closing pressure of said injection valve.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A pressure valve as defined by claim 2, further wherein opening pressure of said check valve is approximately equal to the closing pressure of said injection valve.
