Abstract

Abstract An adjusting device for a fuel injection pump having a plug connection for connection with a control unit. In order to attain sealing off of the plug connection in the vicinity of its passageway through a cap of the housing, the plug connection is connected to a substrate secured in the housing, which substrate has a bushing-like extension passing sealingly through an opening in the cap, and contact pins and conductors are embedded in the substrate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 187 words
An adjusting device for controlling an annular slide (8) relative to a control bore (7) of a pump piston (6) in a fuel injection pump having a fluid-tight housing, said housing comprising a lower part (15) and a cap (16), an electric control motor (10) firmly disposed in the lower part of said housing, a molded substrate secured in the lower part of said housing, said substrate (25) comprises an electrically insulating material, conductors (28) embedded in said substrate for connection of control elements which are connected to said control motor for controlling said control motor, a plug connection in an opening (35) of the cap said plug connection including elements (30) having ends (31) in pressure contact with the ends of said conductors (28) in said substrate with ends (32) of the connection elements protruding from said substrate away from said conductors (28), said plug connection is firmly connected to the substrate (25) which has an extension (34) protruding from the substrate and integrally secured thereto, said extension (34) passes through an opening in said cap (16) with a tight fit and in a sealed manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 187 words
An adjusting device for controlling an annular slide (8) relative to a control bore (7) of a pump piston (6) in a fuel injection pump having a fluid-tight housing, said housing comprising a lower part (15) and a cap (16), an electric control motor (10) firmly disposed in the lower part of said housing, a molded substrate secured in the lower part of said housing, said substrate (25) comprises an electrically insulating material, conductors (28) embedded in said substrate for connection of control elements which are connected to said control motor for controlling said control motor, a plug connection in an opening (35) of the cap said plug connection including elements (30) having ends (31) in pressure contact with the ends of said conductors (28) in said substrate with ends (32) of the connection elements protruding from said substrate away from said conductors (28), said plug connection is firmly connected to the substrate (25) which has an extension (34) protruding from the substrate and integrally secured thereto, said extension (34) passes through an opening in said cap (16) with a tight fit and in a sealed manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 52 words
An adjusting device as defined by claim 1, in which said ends (32) of said plug connection elements (30) that protrude from the substrate (25) are surrounded freely by said extension (34), which takes the form of a bushing including a free end which forms a guide for a counterpart plug (40).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
An adjusting device as defined by claim 2, in which said free end of the extension (34) is surrounded by an annular groove (36) in the cap (16) in which said annular groove (36) receives a sealing ring (37).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 42 words
An adjusting device as defined by claim 3, in which said annular groove (36) extends axially in said cap (16), and that a free end of said counterpart plug (40) protrudes into said groove which keeps said sealing ring (37) under tension.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 37 words
An adjusting device as defined by claim 4, in which said counterpart plug (40) has a collar (44) near its free end, and said collar (44) is pressed against said cap (16) by a coupling ring (45).
