Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump formed as a radial piston pump having an encompassing cam ring, which drives pump pistons and a feed piston, which feed piston is embodied as a feed pump and is urged by a spring in the direction of the cam race. This arrangement results in a small size for the pump, in which sealing problems are substantially reduced and only a small idle fuel volume must be moved. By means of this fuel injection pump, a relatively high fill pressure in a pump work chamber is attained.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
230 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having a distributor (4) rotating in a distributor cylinder (33) and having at least one pump piston (17) disposed in a pump housing (1) radially relative to the distributor (4) and defining a pump work chamber (38), which pump piston is driven by cams of a cam race (12) of a cam ring (2), following the cam race (12), the pump work chamber (38) is supplied with fuel by a fuel feed pump via a supply conduit controlled by control grooves (32) in the distributor (4), simultaneously with radial movement of the pump piston (17), a feed piston (14) embodied as a feed pump and urged by a spring toward the cam race (12) and likewise disposed radially to the distributor (4) and driven by the cam race (12), said feed piston (14) defining a pump interior (28) in a guide cylinder (24), said pump interior communicating on the one hand, in the intake stroke of the feed piston (14) via a control valve (30), with a fuel inlet line connected with a fuel reservoir, and, on the other with the control valve (30) closed, the pumping stroke of the feed piston (14) communicating with the pump piston (17) via said pump work chamber (38) and can simultaneously be made to communicate with the fuel reservoir, via a pressure limiting valve (43).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
230 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having a distributor (4) rotating in a distributor cylinder (33) and having at least one pump piston (17) disposed in a pump housing (1) radially relative to the distributor (4) and defining a pump work chamber (38), which pump piston is driven by cams of a cam race (12) of a cam ring (2), following the cam race (12), the pump work chamber (38) is supplied with fuel by a fuel feed pump via a supply conduit controlled by control grooves (32) in the distributor (4), simultaneously with radial movement of the pump piston (17), a feed piston (14) embodied as a feed pump and urged by a spring toward the cam race (12) and likewise disposed radially to the distributor (4) and driven by the cam race (12), said feed piston (14) defining a pump interior (28) in a guide cylinder (24), said pump interior communicating on the one hand, in the intake stroke of the feed piston (14) via a control valve (30), with a fuel inlet line connected with a fuel reservoir, and, on the other with the control valve (30) closed, the pumping stroke of the feed piston (14) communicating with the pump piston (17) via said pump work chamber (38) and can simultaneously be made to communicate with the fuel reservoir, via a pressure limiting valve (43).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 1, in which communication of the pump interior (28) with the pump work chamber (38) can be established via at least one of a plurality of control grooves (32) which are distributed on the circumference of the distributor (4).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 2, in which said pump work chamber (38) communicates continuously with an annular groove (37) formed between the distributor (4) and the distributor cylinder (33), into which annular groove the control grooves (32) discharge and from which a relief conduit (50) containing a valve (44) controlled as a function of engine operating parameters leads away.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
47 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 3, in which said control grooves (32) can be made to communicate, upon the pumping stroke of the feed piston (14), with at least one fill bore (31) discharging from the pump interior (28) into the distributor cylinder (33).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 4, in which said control valve (30) is a check valve that opens in the direction of the pump interior (28).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 2, in which at least one of the control grooves (32) at a time establishes communication, during the intake stroke of the pump piston (17), between the annular groove (37) and a return line (49), in which a pressure limiting valve (43) opening in the direction of the return line (49) is accommodated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 3, in which at least one of the control grooves (32) at a time establishes communication, during the intake stroke of the pump piston (17), between the annular groove (37) and a return line (49), in which a pressure limiting valve (43) opening in the direction of the return line (49) is accommodated.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 4, in which at least one of the control grooves (32) at a time establishes communication, during the intake stroke of the pump piston (17), between the annular groove (37) and a return line (49), in which a pressure limiting valve (43) opening in the direction of the return line (49) is accommodated.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
61 words
A fuel injection pump as defined by claim 5, in which at least one of the control grooves (32) at a time establishes communication, during the intake stroke of the pump piston (17), between the annular groove (37) and a return line (49), in which a pressure limiting valve (43) opening in the direction of the return line (49) is accommodated.
