A process for delaying the axial movement of the pump piston of a fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine and fuel injection pump for completing the process are proposed. The fuel injection pump consists of a pump piston placed in a movable and rotating mode within a cylindrical bore of a cylindrical sleeve. The pump piston is designed as a combination piston with a damping piston of larger diameter, which will upon completion of the fuel injection period of the turn with the damping shoulder, border the damping chamber within damping bore of the cylindrical sleeve. This further allows only throttled amounts of fuel to flow through the throttling pintle into the suction chamber; the throttling pintle runs in a longitudinal direction and is located on the damping piston. This will produce supplementary hydraulic capacity extending from the damping shoulder, which has a supporting effect on the pump piston even at high turn speeds, and further allows for capacity increases of the fuel injection pump.
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having at least one pump piston performing alternating suction strokes and turns within a cylindrical bore, a suction chamber, a pump work chamber and at least one injection line connectable to said pump work chamber during an injection period of the turn, said pump work chamber being connectable with said suction chamber for cut-off of the fuel injection and completion of the injection period during the turn of said piston pump, a fuel-filled damping chamber whose volume during a turn of said pump piston is reduced by the stroke of said pump piston, at least one throttling point positioned in a connection between said damping chamber and said suction chamber, whereby said connection is opened no later than upon completion of said injection period, and wherein said work chamber functions as said damping chamber facing an axial blind bore in said pump piston, a throttling pintle extending into said pump work chamber in a coaxial direction to said blind bore, whereby upon completion of the injection period of a turn of said pump piston said bore is opened at its end in the direction of said suction chamber and no later than upon completion of said injection period said bore surrounds said throttling pintle between whose circumference and said blind bore wall said throttling point is formed.
A process for delaying the axial movement of a pump piston of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines arranged adjacent a pump work chamber and alternately providing suction strokes and turns comprising the steps of, connecting said pump work chamber with one of at least one fuel injection line leading to one fuel injection point during the injection period of a turn of said pump piston and connecting said pump work chamber for completion of the injection period with a suction chamber of the injection pump during the rest of said turn, producing a supplementary hydraulic pressure by fuel in a damping chamber, decreasing the volume of said damping chamber during the turn of said pump piston by said pump piston, whereby at least one throttling point connecting said damping chamber with said suction chamber is opened for allowing only reverse fuel flow from said damping chamber to said suction chamber no later than completion of said injection period, and subjecting said pump piston to said supplementary hydraulic pressure in opposition to the movement of said pump piston no later than completion of the injection period.
