A fuel-injection pump, especially a direct fuel injection in spark-ignition internal-combustion engines, with at least one pump for generating a fuel flow under pressure and with a rotary slide valve moved synchronously with the drive shaft of the internal-combustion engine and intended for assigning the fuel flow to at least one injection port of the internal-combustion engine and/or for branching off the fuel flow under pump pressure into a return line, the rotary slide valve is mounted so as to be displaceable to a limited extent in the direction of its axis of rotation and/or so as to be rotatable to a limited extent in relation to the rotary drive of the rotary slide valve. Preferably, at the same time, the rotary position or displacement position of the rotary slide valve can be determined in dependence on an operating parameter of the internal-combustion engine, with the result that the axial displacement of the rotary slide valve counteracts a seizure of the rotary slide valve in its guide and determination in dependence on operating parameters affords the possibility of adjusting the injection time over a larger angular sector than would be possible in view of the geometrical limits placed on the design of the rotary slide valve.
A fuel injection pump for direct fuel injection in internal combustion engines having a drive shaft and with externally supplied ignition, at least one pump for generating a fuel stream with pressure brought to an injection pressure, a rotary slide valve which is moved synchronously with the drive shaft of the engine, said rotary slide valve has a distributor opening on a jacket face that upon a rotation of the rotary slide, said distributor opening comes to coincide with one of a plurality of pressure lines distributed over a circumference of the rotary slide and which lead away from a bore that receives the rotary slide, each of said pressure lines leads to one injection location of the engine, and the distributor opening communicates continuously with the at least one pump and with a relief line in which an electrically controlled valve is disposed and by a closing state said electrically controlled valve controls a high-pressure feeding of fuel from the distributor opening to the injection locations, the injection line, downstream of the electrically controlled valve, discharges into a work chamber enclosed by a face end of the rotary slide in the bore, said work chamber is relieved in throttled fashion and the rotary slide is displaceable axially counter to a restoring force.
A fuel-injection pump, especially for direct fuel injection in spark-ignition internal combustion engines, comprising at least one pump for generating a fuel flow under pressure and with a rotary slide valve moved synchronously with a drive shaft of the internal combustion engine and intended for assigning the fuel flow to at least one injection port of the internal combustion engine and for branching off the fuel flow under pressure into a return line, in which the rotary slide valve (2) is provided with at least one bolt (20) which is oriented essentially radially relative to the axis of rotation of the rotary slide valve (2) which engages an oblique groove (21) on an inner circumference of a hollow driving wheel (4) connected to the rotary drive so that the rotary slide valve is displaceable to a limited extent in a direction of its axis of rotation (14) and rotatable to a limited extent in relation to the rotary drive of the rotary slide valve (2).
