Definitions
- the invention first relates to a fuel pump, especially high pressure fuel pump for Internal combustion engines, with a housing, with at least a drive shaft, with a plurality of pump elements, which are driven by the drive shaft and each delimit a work space with a low pressure area and a high pressure area, and with at least one controllable valve device for control or regulation the flow rate.
- Such a fuel pump is a radial piston pump known from the market.
- the well-known radial piston pump comprises three cylinders arranged in a star shape, in which one pump piston is axially displaceably received.
- the working spaces of the cylinders are via non-return valves with an inlet-side low pressure area of the Fuel pump connected.
- the work rooms via check valves with an outlet side High pressure area of the fuel pump connected.
- the term "work space” refers to that space understood in the during a working game of the Pump chamber associated with the fuel flows in or out of this again by the pump element becomes. Ideally, if there is no leakage, for example the volume of the work area corresponds to that Delivery volume.
- the control or regulation of the delivery rate of the Fuel pump is operated via a switching valve with which the common exhaust side area of the cylinder with the inlet-side low pressure area are short-circuited can. In the event of such a short circuit, the Fuel not to the high pressure outlet, but back conveyed to the inlet-side low pressure area.
- the present invention therefore has the task of a Fuel pump of the type mentioned above to further develop that with her the delivery rate simple and can be set quickly and their components in the Operation only be burdened slightly. Even those in inlet-side low-pressure area of the fuel pump used components as well as the leads to Fuel pumps should be built as cheaply as possible can.
- This task is the beginning of a fuel pump mentioned type solved in that at least one Work area an individually controllable valve device with which this workspace is assigned to the Low pressure area can be forcibly connected, so that from this workspace at least temporarily not in the high pressure area is promoted.
- the funding comes from said work space completely prevented in the high pressure area.
- At least one work space no controllable valve device is assigned with which is forcibly connected to the low pressure area can be, so that from this constantly in the High pressure area is promoted.
- This further training lies based on the idea that a certain minimal Fuel requirement is always present. This can be done through the permanent funding from a work space is covered, where there is therefore no need for funding at times to be able to interrupt. Saving at least one Valve device leads to a cost reduction of fuel pump according to the invention.

- a gradual adjustment of the delivery rate of the Fuel pump is achieved by at least a workspace throughout its funding cycle is not promoted to a lower output in the Reach fuel manifold.
- Such Activation of the fuel pump is relatively inexpensive realizable. Is the delivery rate of the fuel pump not varied in stages, but continuously can also only at the beginning of a funding cycle a work space cannot be funded. By the length of the period during which no funding is available, the desired delivery rate can be set. In this way are any different flow rates from the Fuel pump can be pumped, with small delivery rates the power requirement of the fuel pump is also lower.
- the at least one Valve device depends on the pressure in the fuel rail and / or depending on at least one Operating parameters of the internal combustion engine is controlled.
