Abstract
Abstract An apparatus is described for controlling recirculated exhaust gas quantities in self-igniting internal combustion engines which have a fuel injection pump. Two parameters, the rpm (preferably via the rpm-dependent suction chamber pressure) and the position of the quantity-adjusting device, are obtained from the fuel injection pump and delivered to a performance-graph memory in which a control value for the recirculated exhaust gas quantity is stored in accordance with these parameters. A recirculated exhaust gas quantity control device is actuated in accordance with the recalled control value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
An apparatus for controlling recirculated exhaust gas quantities in self-igniting internal combustion engines supplied with fuel from a fuel injection pump comprising: a quantity adjusting device attached to the fuel injection pump to control fuel quantity; an air intake manifold connected to an internal combustion engine, an exhaust gas recirculation line connected from an exhaust manifold of the engine leading and coupled into the air intake manifold; an rpm transducer connected to a drive shaft of the injection pump; an exhaust gas quantity control member having an adjusting magnetic valve means and a closing element positioned in the exhaust gas recirculation line; a travel path transducer connected to detect the position of the quantity adjusting device; a performance-graph memory means connected to the exhaust gas quantity control member, the rpm transducer and the travel path transducer, and which generates an exhaust gas recirculation quantity control signal to the adjusting magnetic valve means such that the closing element is selectively positioned to open a pre-determined cross-section of the exhaust gas recirculated line according to injection pump drive shaft rpm and quantity adjusting device position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
183 words
An apparatus for controlling recirculated exhaust gas quantities in self-igniting internal combustion engines supplied with fuel from a fuel injection pump comprising: a quantity adjusting device attached to the fuel injection pump to control fuel quantity; an air intake manifold connected to an internal combustion engine, an exhaust gas recirculation line connected from an exhaust manifold of the engine leading and coupled into the air intake manifold; an rpm transducer connected to a drive shaft of the injection pump; an exhaust gas quantity control member having an adjusting magnetic valve means and a closing element positioned in the exhaust gas recirculation line; a travel path transducer connected to detect the position of the quantity adjusting device; a performance-graph memory means connected to the exhaust gas quantity control member, the rpm transducer and the travel path transducer, and which generates an exhaust gas recirculation quantity control signal to the adjusting magnetic valve means such that the closing element is selectively positioned to open a pre-determined cross-section of the exhaust gas recirculated line according to injection pump drive shaft rpm and quantity adjusting device position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
An apparatus as defined in claim 1, also including a pressure transducer connected to detect pressure of the fuel injection pump, and which is connected to generate an rpm signal to the performance-graph memory means.
