Definitions
- the present invention is related to a method and an injection pump in a diesel engine according to the preambles of the following patent claims 1 and 2.
- the maximum fuel amount can be of a relatively low initial value when supercharging does not take place but by means of the adjusting device can be achieved that at increasing supercharging resulting in increasing control pressure from the intake system of the engine the maximum fuel amount also is increased.
- a further advantageous possibility would consist of being able to, as well initially in factory as later after selling a certain diesel engine together with injection pump, freely choose to what extent supercharging is desired or not, and in connection with that easily be able to adapt a certain basic design of the injection pump to presence or absence of supercharging according to desire.
- the object of the present invention is to provide conditions to with constructively simple means implement a method and a regulation device for an injection pump for a diesel engine where supercharging is to be choosable without therefore the injection pump having to be specially manufactured for this purpose.
- the defined characteristics of the object of the invention allow a certain basic type of injection pump, which initially not necessarily needs to be intended to master supercharging conditions, to easily be given such ability by applying, in an opening in a housing of the injection pump, the displaceable regulation bar of the adjusting device according to the invention so that it can influence the adjustment member for full load amount in the injection pump.
- a regulation member is received, which in practice normally has the character of an adjusting screw, which is fixed in a determined position meaning limitation of the maximum fuel full load amount to an initial value.
- This initial value is normally adjusted in a factory or by experts in a workshop so that not unwanted discharge of exhaust gas and soot particles arise.
- the displaceable regulation bar of the adjusting device according to the invention takes over the function from this regulation member/adjusting screw so that a, during function changing, regulation of the maximum supplyable fuel amount is achieved in the dependence on the control pressure derived from the intake pressure of the engine, the control pressure consequently depending on the utilised supercharging.
- the present invention is with advantage used for afterwards application of supercharging on existing engines/injection pumps but the invention just as suitable for the factory situation in that one and the same injection pump according to desire can be chosen for an engine installation without supercharging by in the said opening in the pump housing applying the regulation member/adjusting screw or for a design with supercharging, when instead the adjusting device according to the invention is applied at the pump housing so that its displaceable regulation bar extends into the pump housing through the opening.
- An injection pump for a diesel engine is in the figure illustrated by a pump housing 1, and a number of parts arranged in the pump housing and parts extending out through the pump housing 1 for co-operation with the parts inside the pump housing.
- a throttle arm 2 which outside the pump housing via suitable control is connected to a throttle pedal in a vehicle.
- the throttle arm 2 is via a regulation spring 3 connected to a tension arm 4 and a starting arm 5 which influenced by a regulator 6 counteracts the rotation of the tension arm 4 around a joint 7.
- Connected to the tension arm 4 is further a regulation arm 8 influencing a regulation slide 9 which in turn influences a control channel 10 which supplies the fuel to the injection nozzles (not shown).
- This maximum full load amount is however, at the type of injection pump here referred to, normally limited of an adjusting screw, which is fixed, to not allow the maximum fuel amount to be increased when an increase of the fuel amount leads to an increase of the discharge of soot particles.
- a displacement of the regulation slide by means of the adjusting screw leads not only to an increased fuel amount at full load, but also gets this effect throughout the entire rotation speed register for the engine, with increasing soot discharge as a result.
- the adjustment arm 11 is also loaded from the tension arm 4 by a spring 11a loading the adjustment arm 11 against the said adjusting screw.
- an adjusting device 13 having the character of additional equipment and having the same function as an adjusting screw is provided, but being able of adapting the adjustment for full load amount in relation to the supercharging produced by the supercharger, and thereby the fuel amount can be adapted to the amount of air supplied to the engine.
- the adjusting device 13 comprises a housing 14, with a sleeve part 15 which is screwable into the pump housing 1 instead of the previously discussed adjusting screw.
- the sleeve part 15 in its maximum screwed in position has a length such that the end of the sleeve part abuts against the adjustment arm 11 for full load amount inside the injection pump and determines the basic position for the adjustment arm 11 and with that also the regulation slide 9.
- the sleeve part 15 surrounds a regulation bar 16 which is somewhat axially displaceable inside the sleeve part, so that the regulation bar in one of its end positions is drawn in inside the end of the sleeve part 15 or at maximum is aligned with this end.
- the regulation bar 16 can be displaced axially so that it extends out over the end on the sleeve part 15, and can influence the adjustment arm 11, so that it in its upper part is displaced to the left as viewed in the figure.
- the housing 14 of the adjusting device 13 houses also a chamber 17, in which there is a diaphragm 18 as well as a spring 19 with a spring cup 20.
- the diaphragm/spring cup is provided to be able to press against the other end of the regulation bar 16, i.e. the end passing through the sleeve part 15 and extending into the chamber 17.
- the diaphragm/spring cup 18/20 is normally loaded by the spring 19 against the regulation bar 16, and it is normally (in the initial position) provided situated aligned with the end of the sleeve part 15, against which the adjustment arm 11 is loaded by the spring 11a.
- the force in the spring 19 is however adapted so that with normal pressure in the chamber 17, the spring 19 is not capable by means of the spring cup 20 of pressing out the regulation bar 16 past the end of the sleeve part 15, due to the counter force from the adjustment arm 11 and the spring 11a.
- connection 21 for connection of a control pressure from the intake system of the engine.
- a control pressure from the intake system of the engine.
- the control pressure which is supplied in such manner via the connection 21
- the control pressure is supplied into the chamber 17 and acts on the diaphragm 18, the pressure inside the chamber 17 together with the force from the spring 19 will overcome the counter force from the adjustment arm 11 and the spring 11a and displace the spring cup 20 to the left in the figure, to the position drawn in the figure.
- the diaphragm/spring cup 18/20 will press the regulation bar 16 to the left, and it then influences in turn the adjustment arm 11 which is rotated in counter clock-wise around the joint 12.
- the regulation arm 8 is rotated in counter clock-wise, which leads to a displacement of the regulation slide 9 to the right, so that the side channel 10a of the control channel completely is shut, and that all fuel flow through the control channel, and further to the engine, which with that gets an increased fuel amount compared to when normally the side channel 10a is at least partly open, and a part of the fuel amount can flow out through it.
- the regulation bar 16 When later the pressure in the chamber again drops below the level when the spring force from the spring 11a overcomes the total force on the diaphragm 18 and the spring 19, the regulation bar 16 will be displaced to the right in the figure, and be drawn into the sleeve part 15. Then the adjustment arm 11 thanks to the influence from the regulation spring 3 and the spring 11a can be rotated in clock-wise direction until the adjustment arm hits the end of the sleeve part 15. In connection with that also the regulation arm 8 is rotated clock-wise, and then displaces the regulation slide 9 to the left in the figure, at which the side channel 10a opens, and the fuel amount supplied through the control channel decreases.
- the adjusting device could be adapted to different engine sizes and types by suitable choice of dimensions, well judged spring forces and area of the diaphragm, without needing to interfere with the basic adjustments of the injection pump.
- the method and the injection pump according to the invention can be used as well on new engine constructions as for afterwards mounting on existing diesel engines, especially in connection with converting of these to a supercharged design. It is pointed out that the initial value (minimum value) for the full load amount can be determined either by the regulation bar 16 in its withdrawn end position or by the sleeve part 15.
