Abstract
Disclosed is a radial piston pump having a longitudinally movable pump piston in a cylinder chamber which communicates with a suction valve. A closing body of the suction valve is loaded by a valve closing spring in the direction of its valve seat affixed to the housing. The valve closing spring is supported on the pump piston. The radial piston pump is especially useful in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, particularly in common rail injection systems.
Claims4
In a radial piston pump (10) for generating high fuel pressure in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, with a longitudinally movable, spring-loaded pump piston (16) in a cylinder chamber (32), which communicates with a suction valve (18) whose closing body (28) that opens at least indirectly into the cylinder chamber (32) is loaded by a valve closing spring (35) in the direction of its valve seat (27) affixed to the housing, the improvement wherein the valve closing spring (35) is supported against the pump piston (16) so that as the intake stroke of the pump piston increases, the closing force of the valve closing spring decreases.
