Electrically controlled fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines in particular unit fuel injector
First Claim
1. An electrically controlled fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines comprising, a housing (11) including a projecting housing part (27), a pump cylinder disposed in said pump housing, a pump piston guided in the pump cylinder, said pump piston defining a pump work chamber, a feed pump that delivers a fuel inflow to a low pressure chamber 21 from which the fuel flows to said pump work chamber, an injection nozzle secured to said housing in axial alignment with said pump piston, a quantity control valve secured to said projecting housing part, a fuel metering line in said projecting housing part between said pump work chamber and said quantity control valve, during a pumping stroke said pump piston pumps fuel delivered to said pump work chamber at inflow pressure by said feed pump to said injection nozzle at an injection pressure, as long as said quantity control valve blocks a flow of the fuel from said pump work chamber via said metering line over to said low-pressure chamber, said quantity control valve includes an outer collar (33) which seats against a sealing face (34) on said projecting housing part by which said quantity control valve is secured to said projecting housing part by a fastening cuff (28), said fastening cuff includes a cylindrical portion (36) including internal screw threads (30) on its inner surface and a substantially semi-annular portion which is provided with at least one inwardly extending rib (38), said projecting housing part is provided with lateral recesses (29) which are engaged in forked fashion by said at least one inwardly extending rib of said fastening cuff (28) with said cylindrical portion of said fastening cuff above said projecting housing part for receipt of one end of said quantity control valve (26), and a cooperating screw sleeve (32) having an external thread (31) that surrounds said quantity control valve above said outer collar (33) and is threaded into said internal screw threads on the inner surface of said fastening cuff (28) to secure said quantity control valve to said projecting housing part.

Abstract
An electrically controlled fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having a pump piston disposed and guided in a pump housing and defining a pump chamber and in its pumping stroke pumping fuel, delivered to this pump work chamber by a feed pump to an injection nozzle as long as a quantity control valve blocks the flow of the fuel otherwise overflowing from the pump work chamber via a metering line to a low-pressure chamber. A housing part receiving the quantity control valve and projecting laterally from the pump housing at the level of the pump housing, into which part the metering line leading to the pump work chamber extends, wherein lateral recesses on the projecting housing part are provided, which are engaged in forked fashion by a fastening cuff for the quantity control valve. The fastening cuff being provided with an internal thread and cooperating with a screw sleeve having an external thread.
