Fuel injection pumping apparatus
First Claim
1. A fuel injection pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine comprising a high pressure pump, an adjustable throttle member for controlling fuel flow from a low pressure pump to the high pressure pump, a support member having a transverse bore, an electromagnetic actuator operable in response to a control signal from an electronic control system to adjust the setting of said throttle member, said actuator having an axially movable armature, a connecting rod having a first and a second end, said first end of said rod being connected to said armature and said second end of said rod being connected to said throttle member, a damper piston located between said throttle member and said armature and disposed in predetermined position with and being movable with said rod in said bore, said damper piston being movable transversely relative to said connecting rod to allow for misalignment, an actuator core member mounted in said support and forming a bearing for said armature, and a further bearing spaced from said core member and defined in a boss also mounted on said support, said connecting rod being supported in said further bearing.

Abstract
A pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine has a high pressure pump, an adjustable throttle member which is utilized to control the fuel flow from a low pressure to the high pressure pump. An electromagnetic actuator is utilized to adjust the setting of the throttle member and a hydraulic damping device is provided to damp the movement of the throttle member.
