Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns a magnetic valve controlled fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, in which a fuel pump is driven by a drive element from the cylinder head camshaft and is located separately from a fuel nozzle and connected thereto by a relatively short exposed injection pipe; and wherein the fuel pump or nozzle forms a structural unit jointly with the magnetic valve, which controls the beginning and end of pumping as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine; and wherein this unit is secured to the cylinder head in such a way that at least one casing part of the aid pump, facing away from the drive element, and the magnetic valve are located outside the space enclosed by the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim 271 words
A magnetic valve controlled fuel injection device comprising: a fuel pump in a pump casing; and a fuel nozzle for internal combustion engines; a mounting means hole for the fuel pump casing in a cylinder head of the engine; a guide fuel pump piston means in the casing displaceable longitudinally thereof by a camshaft means via a drive element, supported from the cylinder head side; said pump piston means shutting off a control hole emerging in a pump working space; a second mounting hole means provided in the cylinder head for the fuel nozzle; pressure conduit means starting from the pump working space and leading to the fuel nozzle and to a magnetic valve means controlling the beginning of pumping and the end of pumping as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine; the magnetic valve means forming a structural unit jointly with at least one of the fuel pump and the fuel nozzle; the first mounting hole means for the pump being provided in the cylinder head; the pump being located separately from the fuel nozzle and connected to the fuel nozzle by a relatively short exposed pressure pipe means; the first mounting hole means for the pump allowing for unencumbered removal of the pump from the camshaft means; the fuel nozzle being independently fastened to the cylinder head by said second hole mounting means to be removable towards the outside of the engine; and a portion of the casing, facing away from the drive element and the magnetic valve means being both located outside the space enclosed by the cylinder head and a cylinder head cover.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 271 words
A magnetic valve controlled fuel injection device comprising: a fuel pump in a pump casing; and a fuel nozzle for internal combustion engines; a mounting means hole for the fuel pump casing in a cylinder head of the engine; a guide fuel pump piston means in the casing displaceable longitudinally thereof by a camshaft means via a drive element, supported from the cylinder head side; said pump piston means shutting off a control hole emerging in a pump working space; a second mounting hole means provided in the cylinder head for the fuel nozzle; pressure conduit means starting from the pump working space and leading to the fuel nozzle and to a magnetic valve means controlling the beginning of pumping and the end of pumping as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine; the magnetic valve means forming a structural unit jointly with at least one of the fuel pump and the fuel nozzle; the first mounting hole means for the pump being provided in the cylinder head; the pump being located separately from the fuel nozzle and connected to the fuel nozzle by a relatively short exposed pressure pipe means; the first mounting hole means for the pump allowing for unencumbered removal of the pump from the camshaft means; the fuel nozzle being independently fastened to the cylinder head by said second hole mounting means to be removable towards the outside of the engine; and a portion of the casing, facing away from the drive element and the magnetic valve means being both located outside the space enclosed by the cylinder head and a cylinder head cover.
