Abstract:
A fuel injection system employing continuous injection into the induction manifold for varying the fuel-air ratio during the warm-up phase of the engine. A pivoting flap responds to the air flow through the induction tube and rotates a metering valve core. Openings in this valve core cooperate with openings in the valve cylinder to form a metering valve aperture of variable cross-section. The pressure differential across this aperture influences the metered fuel quantity and this pressure differential can be varied during the warm-up phase of the engine. The variation in the pressure differential is accomplished by heating a bi-metallic spring which disengages from the closure element of a diaphragm valve, increasing the closing bias thereof. The resulting increase in fuel pressure downstream of the metering aperture displaces a piston which removes the additional biasing force on another diaphragm valve, permitting the reduction of fuel pressure upstream of the metering aperture with the net effect of a reduction of the pressure differential across the metering aperture and a corresponding reduction of the metered fuel quantity, i.e., a leaning out of the fuel-air mixture.
Abstract:
What follows is a description of a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine which employs exhaust gas recycling. The engine has a suction tube leading to the engine and an exhaust pipe leading from the engine, while the system includes a recycle line connecting both the exhaust pipe and the suction tube, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism can be located either in the suction tube, the exhaust line or the recycle line and controls the pressure therein in order to control the recycled exhaust gas flow rate. The system further has a regulating structure which regulates the quantity of the injected fuel in conjunction with the control mechanism.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system for externally ignited internal combustion engines including fuel injection nozzles, a fuel distributor unit, a fuel supply circuit, and a control pressure circuit. The distributor unit includes metering valves, pressure valves and a first throttle which separates the fuel supply circuit from the control pressure circuit. At least one of the pressure valves is embodied as a differential pressure control valve which has one chamber connected to the first throttle and the control pressure circuit. The control pressure circuit includes the above-mentioned chamber of the differential pressure control valve, a magnetic valve, a storage element and a second throttle. With the system noted, the pressure difference across the metering valves may be varied by varying the pressure difference across the first throttle by means of the magnetic valve via the storage element and the second throttle.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine and a method of controlling fuel injection according to which a predetermined fuel quantity is delivered from a high-pressure pump to the internal combustion engine, first and second return flow quantity are returned through first and second relief ducts, the second relief duct including a control throttle having a constant cross-section, and an electronic control unit controls flow delivery in accordance with characteristic values including those of the internal combustion engine, the pump, and a quantity measuring device for measuring the second return flow, and in accordance with the predetermined fuel delivery quantity also used as a characteristic value.
Abstract:
A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines, in which the onset and end of injection are determined by a hydraulically actuated control slide. The injection pump of the apparatus, which is preferably combined with an injection nozzle to form a pump/nozzle unit, has a pump piston embodied as a differential piston, whose section having the larger diameter serves as an auxiliary pump piston and generates a control pressure (p.sub.S) actuating the control slide. During its compression stroke the control slide, in order to initiate the onset of injection, closes an overflow line leading out of the pump work chamber; and during its return stroke, which is effected by the pressure drop in the control line, the control slide relieves the overflow line in order to control the end of injection. The control pressure (p.sub.S) in the control line necessary for actuating the stroke movement of the control slide is controlled by the closure of this line by means of a control device and is built up during the compression stroke of the auxiliary pump piston.

An internal combustion engine has a cylinder with a movable piston and a cylinder head, a main combustion chamber and an additional combustion chamber, elements producing a twisted stream rotating about an axis of the additional combustion chamber, an injecting nozzle opening in an aspirating passage, and an external igniting device, wherein the injecting nozzle is formed as a single-hole injecting nozzle and has an injection hole which is directed substantially against the igniting device.
Abstract:
A method is proposed for regulating the combustion of operating mixtures in the combustion chambers of internal combustion engines. The course of the light intensity of the light resulting from combustion in the combustion chamber is detected and evaluated over the course of combustion; reference control variables derived therefrom are formed for use by subsequently disposed closed-loop control devices of the engine.
Abstract:
The nozzle body of a fuel injection nozzle comprises upper and lower portions which are secured together by welding. This connection is achieved by using the extremity of pin means on the valve needle as a centering element. The surfaces which cooperate with the valve needle at most only need to be equalized.
Abstract:
To prevent slip-out or slide-out of a vehicle operating in a curve, the lateral stability or, respectively, instability of the vehicle is determined and, if instability or incipient instability is sensed, the vehicle is automatically braked, and/or engine torque of the vehicle engine is reduced. A reference parameter K, which may be variable in accordance with vehicle operating and operation conditions, is compared with a quotient of change of lateral forces applied to the front (V) and hind or rear (H) axles with respect to the change of the slip angle (.delta..sub.V, .delta..sub.H), and if the change of lateral force (.DELTA..sub.S /.DELTA..sub..delta.) at the respective axles, and passes the reference K. The respective axles can then be together or selectively braked in accordance with the extent of deviation from said comparison reference K and/or engine torque also reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus for controlling the spring firmness of a road vehicle is proposed, which is combined with a control of the shock absorber firmness. Both controls are preformed using a single control valve. Trigger signals for the control valve are ascertained by an electronic device, which receives its signals from sensors, disposed on the vehicle, for spring travel, acceleration, vehicle speed and steering angle or the like, and in particular for a travel sensor which picks up the shock absorber compression and emits it as a signal to the electronic device, whereby changes in spring stiffness are achieved.
