Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines has a pump and distributor plunger (21) actuated by a cam plate (12) performing a rotary lifting movement. The cam plate (12) is coupled to the drive shaft for joint rotation therewith. The cam plate has face cams (14) thereon engaging rollers (16) guided in a substantially stationary roller ring (17). For the purpose of detecting the speed and the radial position of the drive shaft (11), a radial position transmitter is provided which has a transmitter wheel (36) firmly connected in the direction of rotation with the drive shaft (11) and which has a detector (37) scanning the transmitter wheel (36) and fixed in the roller ring (17). The roller ring is held on the drive shaft (11) by a ball bearing (41). Thereby uncontrolled relative movements between detector (37) and transmitter wheel (36) are eliminated, and the angular rotational position as well as the speed of the drive shaft (11) can be detected with a high degree of accuracy.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
212 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, comprising a housing; at least one pump plunger displaceable in said housing; a cam drive for displacing said at least one plunger and including a first element supported in said housing and having a bearing surface; a second element rotatable relative to said first element and having a cam track with elevations thereon cooperating with said bearing surface of said first element for determining a stroke of said at least one plunger; a drive shaft for rotating said second element relative to said first element; adjustment means for rotating said first element relative to said second element in order to vary the coordination of the stroke of said at least one plunger, which is actuated by said elevations, with the rotational angle of said drive shaft; means for generating a signal representative of the rotational angle of said drive shaft and used for controlling injection, said generating means comprising first transmitter means fixedly connected with said drive shaft, and second transmitter means fixedly secured on said first element for generating the representative signal upon scanning said first transmitter means; and bearing means for supporting said first element on said drive shaft to prevent uncontrollable movement of said first element relative to said drive shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
212 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, comprising a housing; at least one pump plunger displaceable in said housing; a cam drive for displacing said at least one plunger and including a first element supported in said housing and having a bearing surface; a second element rotatable relative to said first element and having a cam track with elevations thereon cooperating with said bearing surface of said first element for determining a stroke of said at least one plunger; a drive shaft for rotating said second element relative to said first element; adjustment means for rotating said first element relative to said second element in order to vary the coordination of the stroke of said at least one plunger, which is actuated by said elevations, with the rotational angle of said drive shaft; means for generating a signal representative of the rotational angle of said drive shaft and used for controlling injection, said generating means comprising first transmitter means fixedly connected with said drive shaft, and second transmitter means fixedly secured on said first element for generating the representative signal upon scanning said first transmitter means; and bearing means for supporting said first element on said drive shaft to prevent uncontrollable movement of said first element relative to said drive shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
233 words
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, comprising a housing; at least one pump plunger displaceable in said housing; a cam drive for displacing said at least one plunger and including a first element supported in said housing and having a bearing surface; a second element rotatable relative to said first element and having a cam track with elevations thereon cooperating with said bearing surface of said first element for determining a stroke of said at least one plunger; a drive shaft for rotating said second element relative to said first element; adjustment means for rotating said first element relative to said second element in order to vary the coordination of the stroke of said at least one plunger, which is actuated by said elevations, with the rotational angle of said drive shaft; means for generating a signal representative of the rotational angle of said drive shaft and used for controlling injection, said generating means comprising first transmitter means fixedly connected with said drive shaft, and second transmitter means fixedly secured on said first element for generating the representative signal upon scanning said first transmitter means; and bearing means for supporting said first element on said drive shaft to prevent uncontrollable movement of said first element relative to said drive shaft, said first element having a cylindrical carrier, said bearing means being pressed in between said drive shaft and said cylindrical carrier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
