A fuel supply assembly for a gasoline internal combustion engine in which the amount of fuel supplied is controlled by an electromagnetic injection valve which in turn is controlled by an electronic controller subjected to operating parameters. The assembly comprises a fuel metering device and a vane pump in which is supplied a branch stream of air tapped from an inlet duct upstream of the throttle valve. The fuel is introduced into the pump chamber downstream of the air and both the fuel and air are supplied to the pump chamber substantially tangentially to be mixed for the first time in the pump chamber.

Fuel supply assembly for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines

a fuel system for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines controls the pressure differential of the extraction air required for proportioning the fuel. The system includes a fuel proportioning device and a vane pump for generating a carrier air stream for transporting the fuel into the suction tube of the internal combustion engine. A control valve constructed as a differential pressure valve influences the air pressure at the fuel outlet area and consequently the differential pressure for fuel proportioning. The throttle point is located in the carrier air channel upstream from the fuel proportioning area. A change in differential pressure adapts the mixture composition for various operating conditions. The signal level of the differential pressure is determined by the pressure decrease at the air quantity measuring valve formed as a pivotal flap and reaches the air channel where it is superimposed by the negative pressure, generated by the vane pump, and can be stabilized by the differential pressure valve and can be varied in dependence on motor operating parameters. To generate adequately high signal levels in the higher load range, the carrier air channels open into a Venturi arranged upstream from the main throttle valve. During different operating phases of the engine, various devices make it possible to maintain an adequately high signal value of the differential pressure.

Fuel supply system

A fuel supply system for a mixture-compressing combustion engine includes a main air channel containing a throttle valve with a suction pipe connected to the downstream end of the main air channel and extending to the inlet valves for the engine. An air quantity measuring valve is located in the main air channel upstream of the throttle valve. A carrier-air channel branches off from the main air channel between the air quantity measuring valve and the throttle valve. Spaced from the main air channel is a fuel metering nozzle which opens into the carrier-air channel. A proportioning valve is located in the fuel metering nozzle and is adjustable by the air quantity measuring valve. A differential pressure valve is connected to the carrier air channel and contains a membrane acted upon on one side by an adjustable force member and the air pressure in the carrier-air channel adjacent the fuel metering nozzle and on the other side by the air pressure in the carrier air channel upstream from the fuel metering nozzle. Accordingly, the fuel metering nozzle is independent of fluctuations in the power generating the flow of carrier air.

A fuel supply arrangement with a fuel metering valve for external-ignition combustion engines, in which continuous fuel addition is provided to the intake pipe. The latter has an air funnel acting jointly with a throttle member coaxially located and axially movable. The throttle member is adjustable against a restoring force via intake pipe underpressure acting in a working chamber which can be vented into atmosphere. The throttle member is actuated by a diaphragm located in a diaphragm housing having one chamber connected to the atmosphere, and having a second chamber at intake pipe underpressure. The second chamber can be vented to atmosphere by a valve having an actuation position which is arbitrarily variable through relative spatial arrangement of a tripping element on the throttle, and the valve. Either the tripping element or the valve is connected rigidly to the axially movable throttle member and the other one of these two elements is connected to an arbitrarily adjustable linkage of the gas pedal. The fuel is under a system pressure which is made variable by a pressure regulator as a function of one or several engine characteristics, and the fuel is delivered to a fuel exit by the fuel metering valve controlled as a function of the position of the throttle member.
