At the nozzle 66 leading to the memory 30 hydraulic see line can be connected.
In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist die Pumpe gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt. Für den Zylinderkopf 10 ist ein Niederdruckmodul 70 vorgesehen, durch das der Zulauf 27 zum Einlassventil 26 verläuft. Das Niederdruckmodul 70 weist ein Modulgehäuse 72 auf, das mit dem Zylinderkopf 10 verbunden ist und das auf den hohlzylinderförmigen Ansatz 50 des Zylinderkopfs 10 aufgesetzt ist. Das Modulgehäuse 72 ist aus einem Werkstoff mit geringem Gewicht, beispielsweise Leichtmetall wie Aluminium oder einer Aluminiumlegierung oder aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Das Modulgehäuse 72 weist eine näherungsweise zylindrische Form auf, wobei dieses auf den Ansatz 50 des Zylinderkopfs 10 aufgesetzt ist und eine den Ansatz 50 aufnehmende Ausnehmung 74 aufweist. Das Modulgehäuse 72 liegt am flanschartigen Bereich 46 des Zylinderkopfs 10 an und zwischen dem Modulgehäuse 72 und dem Bereich 46 ist ein Dichtelement 76, beispielsweise in Form eines Dichtrings, eingespannt. Das Modulgehäuse 72 kann beispielsweise auf den Zylinderkopf 10 aufgepresst oder mittels einer Rastverbindung oder über wenigstens eine oder mehrere Schrauben am Zylinderkopf 10 befestigt sein. In Figures 1 and 2, the pump according to a first embodiment is shown. For the cylinder head 10, a low pressure module 70 is provided, through which the inlet 27 extends to the inlet valve 26. The low-pressure module 70 has a module housing 72, which is connected to the cylinder head 10 and which is placed on the hollow cylindrical projection 50 of the cylinder head 10. The module housing 72 is made of a lightweight material such as light metal such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy or plastic. The module housing 72 has an approximately cylindrical shape, which is placed on the projection 50 of the cylinder head 10 and a recess 50 receiving the recess 74 has. The module housing 72 bears against the flange-like region 46 of the cylinder head 10 and between the module housing 72 and the region 46 a sealing element 76, for example in the form of a sealing ring, is clamped. The module housing 72 may, for example, be pressed onto the cylinder head 10 or fastened to the cylinder head 10 by means of a latching connection or via at least one or more screws.
An die Ausnehmung 74 schließt sich im Modulgehäuse 72 eine Öffnung 78 an, in die eine Zumesseinrichtung 80 eingesetzt ist, die dazu dient die dem EinlassventilAdjoining the recess 74 in the module housing 72 is an opening 78 into which a metering device 80 is inserted, which serves for this purpose the inlet valve
26 zugeführte Kraftstoffmenge variabel einstellen zu können. Die 26 adjustable amount of fuel can be variably adjusted. The
Zumesseinrichtung 80 ist beispielsweise als Proportionalventil ausgebildet, durch das unterschiedlich große Durchflussquerschnitte eingestellt werden können. Die Zumesseinrichtung 80 weist ein Gehäuse auf, in dem ein Kolben 82 angeordnet ist, durch den der Durchflussquerschnitt zwischen einem in die Metering device 80 is formed, for example, as a proportional valve, can be adjusted by the differently sized flow cross-sections. The metering device 80 has a housing in which a piston 82 is arranged, through which the flow cross-section between a in the
Zumesseinrichtung 80 mündenden Zulauf und einem von dieser abführenden Ablauf eingestellt wird. Der Kolben 82 ist mittels eines elektrischen Aktors 84, beispielsweise eines Elektromagneten, gegen eine Feder 85 verschiebbar. Abhängig von der Stellung des Kolbens 82 werden durch diesen unterschiedlich große Durchflussquerschnitte eingestellt. Der Zulauf in die Zumesseinrichtung 80 erfolgt zumindest annähernd radial zur Längsachse 83 des Kolbens 82 und der Ablauf führt zumindest annähernd koaxial zur Längsachse 83 des Kolbens 82 von der Zumesseinrichtung 80 ab und mündet in der Ausnehmung 74 des Modulgehäuses 72. Zwischen dem Außenumfang des Ansatzes 50 des Zylinderkopfs 10 und der Ausnehmung 74 ist ein Ringraum gebildet, so dass Kraftstoff von der Ausnehmung 74 über die Bohrung 64 im Ansatz 50 zum Einlassventil 26 gelangen kann. An der Zumesseinrichtung 80 ist ein elektrischer Anschluss 81 zur Verbindung mit einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung angeordnet, durch die der Aktor 84 angesteuert wird. Bei mit dem Zylinderkopf 10 verbundenem Niederdruckmo- dul 70 ist die Zumesseinrichtung 80 so angeordnet, dass die Längsachse 83 von deren Kolben 82 zumindest annähernd koaxial zur Zylinderbohrung 12 verläuft.  Metering 80 opening inlet and a laxative from this flow is set. The piston 82 is displaceable against a spring 85 by means of an electrical actuator 84, for example an electromagnet. Depending on the position of the piston 82 are set by this differently sized flow cross sections. The feed into the metering device 80 takes place at least approximately radially to the longitudinal axis 83 of the piston 82 and the drain leads at least approximately coaxially to the longitudinal axis 83 of the piston 82 from the metering device 80 and opens into the recess 74 of the module housing 72. Between the outer periphery of the projection 50th of the cylinder head 10 and the recess 74, an annular space is formed, so that fuel can pass from the recess 74 via the bore 64 in the projection 50 to the inlet valve 26. At the metering device 80, an electrical terminal 81 is arranged for connection to an electronic control device, by which the actuator 84 is driven. When connected to the cylinder head 10 Niederdruckmo- module 70, the metering device 80 is arranged so that the longitudinal axis 83 of the piston 82 at least approximately coaxial with the cylinder bore 12 extends.
Das Modulgehäuse 72 weist einen zumindest annähernd radial zur Ausnehmung 74 nach außen ragenden Vorsprung 86 mit einer Bohrung 87 auf. In die Bohrung 87 ist ein Anschlussstutzen 88 eingefügt, beispielsweise eingepresst. Am An- schlussstutzen 88 ist eine hydraulische Leitung anschließbar, die beispielsweise von einer Förderpumpe zum Niederdruckmodul 70 führt. Die Bohrung 87 im Modulgehäuse 72 ist über eine weitere Bohrung 89 mit der Zumesseinrichtung 80 verbunden, wobei die weitere Bohrung 89 in einem den Kolben 82 der The module housing 72 has an at least approximately radially to the recess 74 outwardly projecting projection 86 with a bore 87. In the bore 87, a connecting piece 88 is inserted, for example, pressed. At the beginning The connection piece 88 can be connected to a hydraulic line which, for example, leads from a delivery pump to the low-pressure module 70. The bore 87 in the module housing 72 is connected via a further bore 89 with the metering device 80, wherein the further bore 89 in a piston 82 of the
Zumesseinrichtung 80 umgebenden Ringraum 90 im Modulgehäuse 72 mündet. Der Ringraum 90 und die Bohrung 87 können dabei in Richtung der Längsachse 83 des Kolbens 82 zueinander versetzt angeordnet sein, so dass die weitere Bohrung 89 entsprechend schräg im Modulgehäuse 72 verläuft. Metering 80 surrounding annular space 90 in the module housing 72 opens. The annular space 90 and the bore 87 can be arranged offset to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis 83 of the piston 82, so that the further bore 89 extends correspondingly obliquely in the module housing 72.
Im Betrieb der Pumpe gelangt Kraftstoff beispielsweise von einer Förderpumpe gefördert aus einem Vorratsbehälter über den Anschlussstutzen 88 in die Bohrung 87 im Modulgehäuse 72 und von dort über die weitere Bohrung 89 in den Ringraum 90. Vom Ringraum 90 gelangt der Kraftstoff über den vom Kolben 82 der Zumesseinrichtung 80 eingestellten Durchflussquerschnitt und durch den Kolben 82 in die Ausnehmung 74 und von dieser über die Bohrung 64 und die Zu- laufbohrungen 60 im Ventilgehäuse 32 zum Einlassventil 26. Durch die koaxiale Anordnung des Kolbens 82 der Zumesseinrichtung 80 zum Einlassventil 26, das wiederum koaxial zur Zylinderbohrung 12 angeordnet ist, wird eine günstige Einströmung des Kraftstoffs erreicht. Beim Saughub des Pumpenkolbens 14 öffnet das Einlassventil 26, so dass Kraftstoff in den Pumpenarbeitsraum 16 einströmt. Die beim Saughub des Pumpenkolbens 14 über das Einlassventil 26 in den Pumpenarbeitsraum 16 einströmende Kraftstoffmenge ist abhängig von dem durch den Kolben 82 der Zumesseinrichtung 80 eingestellten Durchflussquerschnitt. Wenn durch die Pumpe kein Kraftstoff gefördert werden soll, so wird die Zumesseinrichtung 80 geschlossen, so dass diese den Durchflussquerschnitt sperrt. Sollte infolge einer Leckage der Zumesseinrichtung dennoch Kraftstoff zur Pumpe gelangen und durch diese gefördert werden, so kann durch geeignete Maßnahmen in der Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung der zu viel geförderte Kraftstoff abgeleitet werden. Gegebenenfalls kann zwischen der Förderpumpe, durch die Kraftstoff aus dem Vorratsbehälter zum Niederdruckmodul 70 gefördert wird, und dem Niederdruckmodul 70 ein Überströmventil angeordnet sein, durch das von der Förderpumpe zu viel geförderter Kraftstoff, der nicht durch die During operation of the pump fuel passes, for example, from a supply pump from a reservoir via the connecting piece 88 into the bore 87 in the module housing 72 and from there via the further bore 89 in the annular space 90. From the annular space 90 of the fuel passes through the piston 82 of the The coaxial arrangement of the piston 82 of the metering device 80 to the inlet valve 26, which in turn is coaxial is arranged to the cylinder bore 12, a favorable inflow of the fuel is achieved. During the suction stroke of the pump piston 14, the inlet valve 26 opens, so that fuel flows into the pump working chamber 16. The amount of fuel flowing into the pump working chamber 16 via the inlet valve 26 during the suction stroke of the pump piston 14 depends on the flow cross section set by the piston 82 of the metering device 80. If no fuel is to be delivered by the pump, the metering device 80 is closed so that it blocks the flow cross-section. If, due to leakage of the metering device, fuel still reaches the pump and is pumped through it, the excess fuel delivered can be discharged by suitable measures in the fuel injector. Optionally, between the feed pump, is conveyed by the fuel from the reservoir to the low pressure module 70, and the low pressure module 70, a spill valve may be arranged by the pump from the pump too much subsidized fuel, not by the
Zumesseinrichtung 80 der Pumpe zugeführt wird, abgeleitet werden kann. Das Überströmventil ist dabei nicht am Niederdruckmodul 70 angeordnet, sondern beispielsweise an der Förderpumpe. Am Niederdruckmodul 70 ist als einziger hydraulischer Anschluss der Anschlussstutzen 88 angeordnet sowie der elektrische Anschluss 81 für die Metering device 80 is supplied to the pump, can be derived. The overflow valve is not arranged on the low pressure module 70, but for example on the feed pump. At the low pressure module 70, the connecting piece 88 is arranged as the only hydraulic connection and the electrical connection 81 for the
Zumesseinrichtung 80 vorgesehen. Weitere hydraulische Anschlüsse, beispiels- weise für einen Rücklauf, sind nicht vorgesehen. Das Niederdruckmodul 70 kann infolge der kreiszylinderförmigen Ausbildung des Ansatzes 50 des Zylinderkopfs 10 in beliebigen Drehstellungen auf den Zylinderkopf 10 aufgesetzt werden, wobei über die Ausnehmung 74 und den zwischen dieser und dem Ansatz 50 des Zylinderkopfs 10 vorhandenen Ringraum stets eine Verbindung zwischen dem Ablauf der Zumesseinrichtung 80 und dem Einlassventil 26 vorhanden ist. Metering device 80 is provided. Further hydraulic connections, for example for a return, are not provided. The low-pressure module 70 can be placed in any rotational positions on the cylinder head 10 due to the circular cylindrical design of the projection 50 of the cylinder head 10, via the recess 74 and existing between this and the neck 50 of the cylinder head 10 annulus always a connection between the flow of the metering device 80 and the inlet valve 26 is present.

Laterally to the flange 173 then the module housing 172 has a
Vorsprung 186 auf, an dessen Ende in eine Bohrung 187 der Anschlussstutzen 88 eingesetzt ist. Zwischen dem Anschlussstutzen 88 und dem Flansch 173 ist im Modulgehäuse 172 eine weitere Öffnung 178 vorgesehen, in die die Projection 186, at the end in a bore 187 of the connecting piece 88 is inserted. Between the connecting piece 88 and the flange 173, a further opening 178 is provided in the module housing 172, in which the
Zumesseinrichtung 80 eingesetzt ist. Die Öffnung 178 ist mit ihrer Längsachse zumindest annähernd parallel zur Längsachse der Öffnung 174 ausgerichtet. An die Bohrung 187 schließt sich im Modulgehäuse 172 eine weitere Bohrung 189 an, die in einen den Kolben 82 der Zumesseinrichtung 80 radial umgebenden Ringraum 190 mündet. Zwischen der Zumesseinrichtung 80 und dem Modulgehäuse 172 ist ein Raum 191 gebildet, in den der Ablauf der Zumesseinrichtung 80 mündet und der mit einer in die Öffnung 174 mündenden Bohrung 192 verbunden ist. Zwischen dem Ansatz 50 und der Öffnung 174 im Flansch 173 des Modulgehäuses 172 ist ein Ringraum gebildet. Metering device 80 is used. The opening 178 is aligned with its longitudinal axis at least approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the opening 174. The bore 187 is followed in the module housing 172 by a further bore 189, which opens into a piston 82 of the metering device 80 radially surrounding annular space 190. Between the metering device 80 and the module housing 172, a space 191 is formed, into which the outlet of the metering device 80 opens and which is connected to a bore 192 opening into the opening 174. Between the projection 50 and the opening 174 in the flange 173 of the module housing 172, an annular space is formed.
