摘要:
Apparatus for the continuous injection of fuel into the intake piping of an internal combustion engine comprises an air pump for delivering an air stream portion deviated from the engine intake pipe, a fuel pump for delivering fuel from a source, a metering device controlled in response to operating conditions of the internal combustion engine and receiving fuel delivered by said fuel pump and the air stream portion delivered by said air pump for mixing said fuel and air stream portion and delivering the same to the intake piping of the engine, in which the supply of said air stream portion to the metering device is interrupted during an operating condition of the engine, preferably a coasting condition of operation of the engine. Interruption of the air stream portion may be effected by a shut-off valve in the conduit delivering the air stream portion from the air pump, responsive to a coasting condition of the engie. Alternatively, this may be accomplished by disabling the air pump during a coasting operation of the engine and enabling the air pump at the end of such operation.

A hydraulic dual-circuit brake system for automobiles, comprising wheel brakes positioned at the front and rear wheels, a master brake cylinder, brake lines for transmitting brake pressure from the master brake cylinder to the wheel brakes to actuate the latter, a brake pressure regulator device incorporating a hydraulically operated switching off device interposed between the rear wheel brakes and the master brake cylinder, and a brake slip regulation device including a hydraulic unit, sensors for providing a signal output representative of wheel movement behavior, and an electronic anti-skid control and regulating device responsive to the signal output for controlling the hydraulic unit to affect the brake pressure transmitted by the hydraulic unit to the switching off endangered wheel brake. The hydraulically operated locking device of the brake pressure regulator device responds to the brake pressure transmitted by the hydraulic unit to the locking-endangered wheel brakes and modifies the operation of the brake pressure regulator device to affect the brake pressure delivered to the rear wheel brakes by the brake pressure regulator device.

A pressure-unbalanced hydraulic amplifier valve assembly has an axially slidable amplifier piston and a control plunger axially slidably arranged in the amplifier piston with a loose fit to permit a slight radial movement thereof in the amplifier piston. For providing a tight seal in the zone of control ports arranged in the amplifier piston, the control plunger is urged in that zone radially against the amplifier piston by a transverse piston continuously exposed to the system pressure. A pressure piston engages one end of the control plunger and is exposed to an external force (such as a braking force applied by a pedal) for axially displacing the control plunger. In order to eliminate undesired axial force components from the force applied by the transverse piston, a force-transmitting ball contacts the transverse piston and an inner wall of the control plunger forming a throughgoing axial bore and constituting an axially linear track for the ball. In order to eliminate undesired transverse force components from the force exerted by the pressure piston on the control plunger, these two components contact one another by means of mutually transversely arranged pins which are solely in a point contact with one another.

A motor vehicle transmission includes a torque converter and planetary gear arrangement. Clutches are provided for connecting the torque converter with the gear arrangement. The clutches are arranged so that the direct drive transmission gear can be engaged either through the torque converter or partially bypassing the torque converter.

In the particular embodiments of the invention described in the specification, a hydraulic brake pressure regulator for the hydraulic brake system of a motor vehicle is designed to provide a family of characteristic curves which are dependent upon the vehicle load (outlet pressure as a function of inlet pressure), in which each characteristic curve follows a nonlinear and constant course, so as to provide optimum conformance with the ideal braking-force distribution of the vehicle.

In the particular embodiments disclosed in the specification, a cage for a roller brake freewheel consists of two annular sidewall members which are connected with each other by connecting webs extending transversely between them so as to form chambers distributed over the circumference of the cage to accommodate corresponding brake rollers and springs. The annular side wall members are made in one piece and include resilient segments which facilitate elastic yielding. The resilient segments are in the form of connecting elements and the number of resilient segments is the same as the number of chambers.

In the embodiments of the invention described in the specification, a piston and a connecting rod of an internal combustion engine have opposed approximately semi-cylindrical bearing regions partially enclosing a pin, leaving free gaps between the bearing regions to permit swivel motions of the piston and connecting rod about the axis of the pin. Two symmetrical rings which surround the pin axis retain the bearing regions against the pin. The provision of such opposed bearing regions reduces the oscillating mass of the link joint.
摘要:
A method for operating a vehicle having an automatic, continuously variable speed transmission comprising at least three control phases. During a first control phase, the engine speed is maintained at a substantially constant value while the transmission gear ratio is increased to the maximum transmission gear ratio. During a second control phase, the transmission gear ratio is maintained at the maximum transmission gear ratio while the engine speed is increased to the maximum engine speed possible at the maximum gear ratio and selected throttle valve angle. During a third control phase, the transmission gear ratio is decreased from the maximum transmission gear ratio, so that higher vehicle traveling speeds may be obtained. During the third control phase the transmission gear ratio may be rapidly changed to a ratio corresponding to maximum engine power when the accelerator pedal is placed in a kickdown position. Increased force on the accelerator pedal may be required to place the accelerator pedal in the kickdown position.

Apparatus for determining rotational speed includes a sensor for generating electrical pulse signals representative of rpm in a conventional manner. The electrical pulses are converted to light pulses at the sensor and transmitted to an evaluation circuit, where they are reconverted into electrical pulses that are processed by the evaluation circuit. Interference signals that a rise during the transmission of electrical pulses to the evaluation circuit are thereby eliminated.
