Abstract
A fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines comprising a pump work chamber defined in a bore of a housing by a pump piston. The pump work chamber is supplied with fuel and relieved via a fuel line containing a magnet control valve. Moreover, the pump work chamber communicates with an injection valve via a supply line. Controlling of the injection is done via the opening or closing of the magnet control valve during the pumping stroke of the pump piston; to that end, the magnet valve is triggered by a control unit. To enable performing an accurate injection, a needle stroke transducer is disposed on the nozzle needle of the injection valve; if a limit value is exceeded, its stroke motion is detected as a precise signal for the onset and end and hence the size of the injection quantity and is transmitted to the control unit, where this actual value is compared with a set-point value from a performance graph, and a correction of the magnet valve triggering is consequently done performed, if needed.
