Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plug-in pump for an internal combustion engine with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a plug-in pump is known from EP 0 543 301 AI (in particular FIG. 2), which is inserted in a receiving bore in the cylinder housing of an internal combustion engine and whose pump plunger is driven by a cam of a camshaft via a spring-loaded roller tappet.
  • the longitudinal axis of the plug-in pump runs transversely to the camshaft axis and intersects the camshaft axis.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the running behavior or the alignment of the roller of the longitudinally displaceable roller tappet.
  • the plug-in pump according to the invention, its longitudinal axis in its imaginary extension in runs at a defined distance from the camshaft axis and thus has a greater distance from the cylinder axis, a gain in installation space of the cylinder housing in its longitudinal extent is achieved since the cylinder distances of the cylinders arranged in series can be chosen to be smaller.
  • the ram guides of all cylinders must also be brought closer together. In addition to gaining space, there is a reduction in weight.
  • 1 is a cross-sectional cylinder housing of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine with a plug-in pump
  • Fig. 2 shows the cylinder housing with plug-in pump in an enlarged view
  • Fig. 3 shows the cylinder housing of the internal combustion engine in plan view.
  • FIG. 1 and 3 show a cylinder housing 1 for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine 2 with cylinders 3 arranged in series and with upstanding receiving bores 4 provided in the cylinder housing 1 for receiving solenoid-controlled plug-in pumps 5.
  • Each plug-in pump 5 assigned to a cylinder 3 is composed of a pump part with a pump plunger 7 guided in the pump housing 6 and an actuating part with a spring-loaded roller plunger 10 which interacts with the pump plunger and is driven by the cam 8 of a camshaft 9 .
  • the pump part and the actuating part are combined in terms of construction by means of an elongated sleeve 11 surrounding both parts (FIG. 2) and are inserted in the receiving bore 4, which is divided into bore sections 4a and 4b, which are spaced apart.
  • the lower region of the pump housing 6 is inserted into the bore section 4a located in the cylinder housing 1, while the sleeve 11 is in the underlying bore section 4b.
  • the roller tappet 10 is guided to be longitudinally displaceable against the force of a roller tappet spring 12.
  • a sleeve-fixed sliding block 11a and a slot-like sliding block guide 10a in the roller tappet 10 form a captive device, so that when the plug-in pump 5 is removed from the receiving bore 4, the roller tappet 12 does not fall out of the sleeve 11.
  • the lower area of the pump housing 6 is of stepped design, the larger-diameter part 6a having two sealing rings 13, 14 lying one above the other and being mounted in the overhead bore section 4a, and the smaller-diameter part 6b being fixed to the upper part of the sleeve 11 connected is.
  • a pressure shoulder 15 formed by the step on the pump housing 6 rests on the end face of the sleeve 6.
  • the plug-in pump 5 is placed in such a way that its longitudinal axis a and the cylinder axis b enclose an angle ⁇ of approximately 10 °.
  • the longitudinal axis a extends transversely to the axis c of the camshaft 9, the imaginary extension of the longitudinal axis a being at a distance x from the camshaft axis c such that the elongated longitudinal axis a of the plug-in pump 5 lies behind the camshaft axis c - starting from the cylinder 3 in the direction Camshaft 9 considered.
  • the direction of rotation of the camshaft 9 is counterclockwise, which means that the roller 17 of the roller tappet 10 acts as a follower and thus an improved running stability.
  • the exposed pump housing part protruding from the receiving bore 4 is provided with a lateral housing projection 20.
  • This part of the pump housing and the housing projection 20 rest on a bearing surface 21 of the cylinder housing 1, which runs at right angles to the longitudinal axis a of the plug-in pump 5.
  • the lateral housing projection 20 has a fuel line 22 with a line section 23, which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis a of the plug-in pump 5 and is stepped and is arranged coaxially with a feed channel 24 in the cylinder housing 1.
  • the feed channel 4 branches off from a longitudinal channel 25 which extends in the cylinder housing 1 next to the plug-in pumps 5 as a continuous fuel flow.
  • a sleeve 26 is inserted into the line section 23 up to a pressure shoulder 27 formed by the step and is fixed there.
  • the sleeve 26, with its part protruding from the line section 22, is inserted in the feed channel 24 of the cylinder housing 1 and forms a positional securing for the plug-in pump 5 in the receiving bore 4.
  • the plug-in pump 5 is fastened to the cylinder housing 1 by means of fastening screws 28.
  • the contact surface 29 on the housing projection 20 opposite the bearing surface 21 on the cylinder housing 1 is provided with a recess 30 surrounding the sleeve 26, in which lies a sealing ring 31, which is pushed against the sleeve 26 in a captive manner under pretension.
  • the sleeve 26 which produces the line connection between the cylinder housing 1 and the plug-in pump in this special way protects the sealing ring 31 against the very high system pressure present.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pompe emboîtable (5) destinée à un moteur à combustion interne (2) comportant un orifice (4) ménagé dans le bloc-cylindres (1), servant à loger ladite pompe (5). Cette dernière présente un piston de pompe et un poussoir à galet (10) sollicité par un ressort et entraîné par une came (8) d'un arbre à cames (9). L'axe longitudinal (a) de la pompe emboîtable (5) s'étend transversalement à l'axe (c) de l'arbre à cames, à distance de celui-ci, de sorte que l'axe longitudinal (a) de la pompe emboîtable (5), vu dans le sens de rotation de l'arbre à cames (9), est situé en avant de l'axe (c) de l'arbre à cames.
