- the second pump piston 118 is displaceably guided in the blind bore 80 of the first pump piston 18 and protrudes with its end delimiting the pump working chamber 22 from the blind bore 80. At its end protruding from the blind bore 80, the second pump piston 118 has an im
- the second pump piston 118 has a through-channel 180 running in the longitudinal direction thereof, which can be designed as a through-bore which extends from the end face delimiting the pump working space 22 to the end face of the second pump piston 118 opposite the bottom 82 of the blind bore 80 in the first pump piston 18 , A throttle point 181 is provided in the through bore 180 of the second pump piston 118.
- the end face of the second pump piston 118 opposite the boundary 17 of the pump work chamber 22 is, for example, beveled in such a way that it is recessed in the radial direction towards the mouth of the through bore 180.
- the second pump piston 118 At its end arranged in the blind bore 80, the second pump piston 118 has a section 154 with a reduced diameter.

- a spring 158 is clamped between the base 82 of the blind bore 80 and the annular shoulder 155 of the second pump piston 118 and is designed, for example, as a helical compression spring surrounding the section 154 of the second pump piston 118.

- both pump pistons 18, 118 can optionally be coupled to one another and carry out a delivery stroke as one unit.
- the pump pistons move during the delivery stroke
- both pump pistons 18, 118 are coupled to one another, then the second pump piston 118 plunges into the blind bore 80 of the first pump piston 18 until it rests with its sealing surface 156 on the base 82 of the blind bore 80, as is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , In this position of the second pump piston 118, its annular groove 161 overlaps with the transverse bore 85 of the first pump piston 18 and the spring 158 is compressed to its shortest length.
- the pressure prevailing in the pump working chamber 22 acts on the end face of the second pump piston 118 and generates a compressive force acting thereon, through which the second
- the end face of the first pump piston 18 and the end face of the second pump piston 118 lying within this are effective for generating pressure in the pump work chamber 22, so that a high pressure is generated in the pump work chamber 22.
- High-pressure generation in the pump work chamber 22 by the pump pistons 18, 118 takes place as long as the first control valve 68 is closed and the pump work chamber 22 is separated from the relief chamber 24 and the feed pump 23.
- the longitudinal groove 86 of the first pump piston 18 is immersed in the section 116 of the cylinder bore 16, so that the through bore 180 in the second pump piston 118 via the longitudinal groove 86 and the transverse bore 85 in the first pump piston 18 as well as the annular groove 161 and the transverse bore 160 in the second pump piston 118 the pump work space 22 is connected.
- the subsequent suction stroke of the pump pistons 18, 118 they move away from their inner dead center towards their outer dead center.
- the first control valve 68 is opened so that fuel with the pressure generated by the feed pump 23 in the
- Pump working space 22 flows.
- the speed of the internal combustion engine and thus the speed at which the pump pistons 18, 118 move from the inner dead center during the suction stroke, there is a pressure drop in the pump working chamber 22 to a lower pressure than the feed pump pressure compared to the pressure generated by the feed pump 23.
- the first pump piston 18 moves during its suction stroke due to the force of the return spring 19 in accordance with the shape of the cam 20 at a predetermined speed.
- the second pump piston 118 also moves away from the inner dead center during the suction stroke due to the pressure acting on its end face in the pump work chamber 22 if the force on the second pump piston 118 generated by the pressure in the pump work chamber 22 is greater than the force opposing it the sum of the force of the spring 158 and the force generated by the low pressure prevailing in the space 153 on the second pump piston 118.
- the second pump piston 118 moves away from the inner dead center during the suction stroke and, with its sealing surface 156, comes into contact with the bottom 82 of the blind bore 80 in the first pump piston 18 at the latest when the outer dead center is reached.
- the pump pistons 18, 118 then move again as a unit inwards towards inner dead center.
- the second pump piston 118 can optionally be arranged in a passive position in which it does not perform a delivery stroke and only the first pump piston 18 performs a delivery stroke. This is shown in Figures 4 and 5. In its passive position is the second pump piston 118 with its sealing surface 152 in contact with the boundary 17 of the pump work chamber 22. The through hole 180 in the second pump piston 118 is then separated from the pump work chamber 22 by the sealing surface 152. Should be between the
- Pump piston 118 generates a pressing force directed towards the boundary 17 thereon.
- the second pump piston 118 is pressed against the limitation 17 by the spring 158 and the force generated by the low pressure prevailing in the space 153.
- the pump 158 relaxes the spring 158.
- the pump 158 relaxes the spring 158.
- only its annular end face is effective for generating pressure, so that a correspondingly lower maximum pressure is generated in the pump working chamber 22 than in the case of pump pistons 18, 118 coupled to one another.
- the pump pistons 18, 118 are shown in FIG. 5 in the inner dead center division.
- the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position during the suction stroke as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, in particular as a function of its speed. If the second pump piston 118 is to be arranged in its passive position, the first control valve 68 is closed by the control device 72 at a specific time and for a specific period of time during the suction stroke, so that the connection of the pump work chamber 22 with the feed pump 23 is interrupted and no fuel can flow into the pump work chamber 22.
- the first pump piston 18, caused by the return spring 19, moves away from the inner dead center toward the outer dead center in accordance with the shape of the cam 20. As a result, the volume of the pump work chamber 22 is increased and since no fuel flows into it, the pressure in the pump work chamber 22 drops below the delivery pressure of the feed pump 23.
- Pump working chamber 22 thus only acts at a low pressure, which generates a lower force directed towards the first pump piston 18 on the second pump piston 118 than the counteracting force as the sum of the force of the spring 158 and the force acting in the chamber 153
- the second pump piston 118 thereby moves inward until it comes to rest with its sealing surface 152 on the boundary 17 of the pump work chamber 22.
- the first control valve 68 is opened again by the control device 72, so that the pressure in the pump work chamber 22 rises again.
- the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position, the pressure in the pump working chamber 22 does not act on the end face of the latter in the direction of the first pump piston 18, but rather on the annular shoulder 151 of the second pump piston 118 and thus toward the boundary 17 and generates a contact pressure on the second one Pump piston 118 towards the limit 17.
- the first pump piston 18 executes a suction stroke to the outer dead center and then a delivery stroke to the inner dead center.
- the through bore 180 of the second pump piston 118 is via the transverse bore 160, the annular groove 161 and
- the pressure in the pump working chamber 22 then acts on the end face of the second pump piston 118 facing the boundary 17, so that the second pump piston 118 with its sealing surface 152 lifts off the boundary 17.
- the second pump piston 118 can then be arranged in its passive position again by closing the first control valve 68 or, if the first control valve 68 remains open, the second
- Pump pistons 118 follow the suction stroke of the first pump piston 18 so that the two pump pistons 18, 118 remain coupled.
- the speed of the pump pistons 18, 118, with which they move during the suction stroke and the delivery stroke, also increases. If an approximately constant delivery pressure is generated by the feed pump 23, then in the pump working chamber 22 during the suction stroke of the pump pistons 18, 118, as a result of the speed of the pump pistons 18, 118 increasing with the speed, an increase in pressure drop with the speed compared to the nominal pressure generated by the delivery pump 23, the pump working space 22 cannot be filled with fuel quickly enough.
- the first pump piston 18 executes its suction stroke due to the return spring 19 in accordance with the profile of the cam 20.
- the second pump piston 118 can no longer follow the suction stroke of the first pump piston 18, since only a small force acts on the first pump piston 18, which is less than the counteracting force as the sum of the force the spring 158 and the force generated by the low pressure prevailing in the space 153.
- the second pump piston 118 therefore moves towards the boundary 17 and comes into contact with its sealing surface 152 and is in its passive position.
- An arrangement of the second pump piston 118 in its passive position can thus also be achieved when a certain limit speed is reached or exceeded, at which the pressure in the pump work chamber 22 drops sufficiently during the suction stroke.
- the first control valve 68 is closed during the suction stroke in the area of the limit speed, as explained above, in order to ensure that the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position. At much higher speed than that
- both pump pistons 18, 118 are coupled to one another and carry out a delivery stroke up to a predetermined limit speed.
- the limit speed from which the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position can be predetermined or can be variable as a function of further operating parameters of the internal combustion engine. It can also be provided that an arrangement of the second pump piston 118 in its passive position depends on the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, in particular depending on the load, he follows.
- the two pump pistons 18, 118 are coupled and together perform a delivery stroke, while at low load the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position and only the first pump piston 18 executes a delivery stroke. At low load, fuel is thus injected at a lower pressure than at high load.
- the shape of the cam 20 in the area in which the suction stroke of the first pump piston 18 takes place determines the speed of the first pump piston 18 during the suction stroke. By varying the shape of the cam 20 in this area, the speed of the first pump piston 18 during the suction stroke and thus the pressure drop in the pump work chamber 22 can thus be changed and thus also the limit speed from which the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position.
- the pressure generated by the feed pump 23 also determines the limit speed from which the second pump piston 118 is arranged in its passive position. The higher the pressure generated by the feed pump 23, the higher the limit speed. In order to allow a variation of the limit speed, it can be provided that the pressure generated by the feed pump 23 is variable.
- FIG. 6 shows the course of the pressure p at the injection openings 32 of the fuel injection valve 12 over the time t during an injection cycle.
- fuel is supplied to it from the fuel reservoir 24.
- the fuel injection begins with a pre-injection, the first control valve 68 being closed by the control device 72, so that the pump working chamber 22 is separated from the relief chamber 24.
- the control device 72 also opens the second control valve 70, so that the control pressure chamber 52 is connected to the relief chamber 24. In this case, no high pressure can build up in the control pressure chamber 52, since this is relieved towards the relief chamber 24.
- the second control valve 70 is closed by the control device, so that the control pressure chamber 52 is separated from the relief chamber 24.
- the first control valve 68 remains in its closed position. High pressure builds up in the control pressure chamber 52 as in the pump work chamber 22, so that a large pressure force acts on the control piston 50 in the closing direction. Since the force acting on the injection valve member 28 in the opening direction 29 is now less than the sum of the force of the closing spring 44 and the pressure force on the control piston 50, the fuel injection valve 12 closes.
- the pilot injection corresponds to an injection phase designated I in FIG.
- the second control valve 70 is opened by the control device 72, so that the pressure in the control pressure chamber 52 drops.
- the fuel injection valve 12 then opens as a result of reduced pressure force on the control piston 50 and the injection valve member 28 moves over its maximum opening stroke.
- the second control valve 70 is open, a small amount of fuel flows through the throttling points 63, 65 to the relief chamber 24, but the throttling points 63, 65 can be designed with a small flow cross-section, so that the outflowing fuel amount and the reduction in pressure in the pump work chamber 22 are small.
- Control valve 68 brought by the control device 72 into its open switching position, so that the pump working chamber 22 is connected to the relief chamber 24 and only a small pressure force acts on the injection valve member 28 in the opening direction 29 and that
- the second control valve 70 may be in its open or closed position to complete the main injection.
- control piston 50, the control pressure chamber 52 and the second control valve 70 controlling its connection to the relief chamber can also be omitted.
- the fuel injection is then controlled only by the first control valve 68 by closing it for fuel injection so that the
- Pump work chamber 22 is separated from the relief chamber 24, and is opened to interrupt or terminate the fuel injection, so that the pump work chamber 22 is relieved of pressure towards the relief chamber 24. If, as explained above, two
- Injection valve members 28 are present, it can be provided that only one injection valve member 28 opens during pre-injection and / or at low load and / or at low engine speed and opens at least one first injection opening, while at
- Fuel injection valve 12 has only one injection valve member 28, through which the at least one injection opening 32 is controlled.
