Abstract

Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines is proposed, which is realized as a radial piston pump. To supply eight-cylinder engines or multi-cylinder engines at high rpm or to realize a pre-injection with large angular intervals, a radial piston pump is proposed the pump pistons of which are firmly connected to the roller shoes driving the pump pistons, and the rollers carried by the roller shoes roll off simultaneously on a first cam track of a first, outer roller ring and on cam tracks of second, inner roller rings and are thereby compulsorily guided between the cam tracks of the two roller rings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim 192 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines comprising a housing, at least one reciprocable pump piston in a pump cylinder driven via a cam drive in said housing arranged to enclose a pump work chamber, said pump work chamber adapted to communicate via a pressure conduit with at least a distributor opening which connects said pump work chamber with a respective one of a plurality of fuel injection lines disposed in proximity to said distributor openings, said pump work chamber being arranged to receive fuel via a controlled fuel line connected to a fuel supply said fuel injection pump further including a radial piston injection pump provided with said pump piston, said pump piston further disposed in a radially aligned pump cylinder in a rotatingly driven distributor provided with at least one distributor opening and connected to a roller tappet, said roller tappet being arranged to be guided simultaneously between a first cam ring and a second cam ring, said cam rings being disposed in opposed relation, and said first cam ring has a cam track extending radially inward and said second cam ring has a cam track extending radially outward.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 192 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines comprising a housing, at least one reciprocable pump piston in a pump cylinder driven via a cam drive in said housing arranged to enclose a pump work chamber, said pump work chamber adapted to communicate via a pressure conduit with at least a distributor opening which connects said pump work chamber with a respective one of a plurality of fuel injection lines disposed in proximity to said distributor openings, said pump work chamber being arranged to receive fuel via a controlled fuel line connected to a fuel supply said fuel injection pump further including a radial piston injection pump provided with said pump piston, said pump piston further disposed in a radially aligned pump cylinder in a rotatingly driven distributor provided with at least one distributor opening and connected to a roller tappet, said roller tappet being arranged to be guided simultaneously between a first cam ring and a second cam ring, said cam rings being disposed in opposed relation, and said first cam ring has a cam track extending radially inward and said second cam ring has a cam track extending radially outward.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 1, further wherein said roller tappet is controlled by said first and second opposed cam rings, said cam rings having undulatory track surfaces to effect a complemental movement by said roller tappet therealong.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 67 words
