Control apparatus for limiting the fuel supply quantity of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines

A control apparatus for limiting the fuel supply quantity of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines such as Diesel engines or the like having a fuel supply quantity adjustment member comprising, in combination, a housing, a return spring, a first control member actuatable by the rpm-dependent pressure of a control medium, a limit stop having a starting detent displaceable against the force of said return spring and through said control member, said limit stop having one terminal position effected only by said return spring and arranged to assume a position which determines the starting position and having another terminal position controlled by the pressure of the control medium for determining the full-load position of said injection pump supply quantity adjustment member, said limit stop starting detent being arranged to vary its effective length in accordance with temperature, a full-load stop which limits the full-load position of said fuel supply quantity adjustment member when the engine is running and which releases the starting position of said fuel supply quantity adjustment member when the engine is stopped or is starting, said starting detent being arranged to limit the position of said fuel supply quantity adjustment member independently of the setting of said full-load stop when the operationally warm engine is starting to a starting position which does not exceed the full-load position.
