Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a fuel pump for an internal combustion engine and, more par ⁇ ticularly, to a fuel pump that is driven by a rocker arm.
  • An internal combustion engine has a fuel pump for moving fuel from a tank to a carburetor or to a fuel injection pump.
  • a cam on a rotating camshaft of the engine contacts the actuator arm on the fuel pump for driving the fuel pump. Since the camshaft of the engine is in the lower portion of the engine, the fuel pump which is directly driven by the camshaft is inherently located on the lower portion of the engine in a relatively inaccessible position.
  • the present invention is directed to over ⁇ coming one or more of the problems as set forth above.
  • a fuel pump is driven by a cam carried by a rocker arm associated with one of the valve actuating assemblies of the engine.
  • the fuel pump is mounted on the engine either directly or through an adaptor so that a spring- biased actuating arm by which the fuel pump is driven extends into contact with the cam carried by the rocker arm.
  • the reciprocating motion of the rocker arm and cam forces the actuating arm to oscillate or recipro ⁇ cate back and forth, thereby driving the fuel pump.
  • valve actuating assemblies are located on the upper portion of the engine where they are readily accessible for service.
  • the fuel pump By mounting the fuel pump in close proximity to the valve actuating assemblies, locates the fuel pump on the upper portion of the engine where it is readily accessible for service, repair or replacement.
  • Fig. 1 is a partial sectional view of a por ⁇ tion of an internal combustion engine showing a rocker arm driven fuel pump forming an embodiment of the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cam and rocker arm broken away from the engine;
  • Fig. 3 is a broken away perspective view of the rocker arm, lift and tappet assembly with the cam on the rocker in contact with a portion of the actuat- ing arm of the fuel pump;
  • Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevational view of the cam and actuating arm of the present invention.
  • a fuel pump is generally indicated by the reference numeral 10 and is mounted on an upper portion 11 of an internal com ⁇ bustion engine 12.
  • the fuel pump 10 is of conventional
  • the fuel pump 10 has a housing 15 in which a shaft 16 is pivotally mounted.
  • the actuating arm 14 is secured to the shaft 16 and is biased by a spring (not shown) so that oscillation or reciprocation of the actuating arm 14 will drive the fuel pump 10.
  • the actuating arm 14 extends from the shaft 16 through an opening 18 in an adaptor 17 secured to the housing 15 with a portion 19 of the arm extending outwardly from the housing 15 and adaptor 17 and having an angled con ⁇ tact pad or cam follower surface 21 thereon.
  • the fuel pump 10 receives fuel through tube 23 from a fuel tank (not shown) and pumps said fuel on to a carburetor or fuel injection pump of the engine,
  • the engine 12 includes a valve actuating assembly, generally designated 20, associated with the cylinders (not shown) of the engine 12.
  • the valve actuating assembly 20 includes a conventional rocker shaft 24 secured by bolts 25 and mounting blocks 27 to the cylinder head 29.
  • a plurality of rocker arms 22, one being shown, are mounted on the rocker shaft 24 for pivotal movement about the axis of said shaft.
  • Each rocker arm 22 has a rod end portion 31 and a valve end portion 33.
  • a tappet assembly 35 bears against a cam 44 on the engine camshaft (not shown) and has a socket in which is seated one end of a rod 32.
  • the other end of rod 32 has a socket 36 which receives one end of an adjustable link 43 which passes through an opening 37 in the rod erid portion 31 of rocker arm 22
  • valve stem 38 is engaged by the valve end portion 33 of the rocker arm 22.
  • Conventional rotation of the engine camshaft reciprocates the tappet assemblies 35 and rods 32 to oscillate the rocker arms 22 about the rocker shaft 24 to actuate the valve stems 38 and valves (not shown) .
  • the rocker arm 22 has a cam 26 extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the rocker arm 22 from the rod end portion 31 thereof.
  • the cam 26 in the illustrated embodiment, is integrally formed on the side of the rod end portion 31 of the rocker arm 22 and is offset from the pivotal mounting of the rocker arm 22 about the shaft 24.
  • the base 39 of the cam 26 joins the rocker arm 22 in close proximity to the connection between the rod 32 and the rod end por ⁇ tion 31.
  • the cam 26 has a cam surface 41 which, in the illustrated embodiment, is crowned and curved and contacts the cam follower surface 21 on the actuator arm 14.
  • the shape of the cam surface 41 is such that it provides substantially sliding contact with the cam follower surface-.21 as the rocker arm 22 oscillates or reciprocates about the axis of the rocker shaft 24.
  • the rotational motion of the camshaft reciprocates the tappet assembly 35 and rod 32 to provide the oscillat ⁇ ing motion to the rocker arm 22.
  • valve actuating assembly 20 Enclosing the valve actuating assembly 20 is a cover 40 which is attached by bolts 42 to the cyl ⁇ inder head 29. An aperture 46 through the cover 40 aligns with the opening 18 in the housing 15 of the fuel pump 10 to permit access for the end portion 19 of the actuator arm 14. As illustrated, the fuel pump 10 is mounted on the adaptqr 17 which in turn is mounted on the cover 40 by suitable means so that the actuating
  • OMPI arm 14 extends into the space enclosed by the cover 40 with cam follower surface 21 in contact with cam sur ⁇ face 41 of cam 26,
  • the fuel pump 10 may be mounted on other portions of the upper portion of the engine 12 as long as the actuating arm 14 of the fuel pump 10 can contact a reciprocating portion of the rocker arm 22 and as long as the fuel pump 10 is in an accessible location on the engine.
  • the use of the adaptor 17 is optional depending upon the mounting requirements.
  • the tappet assembly 35 tracks a cam surface on the camshaft and converts the rotational motion of the camshaft into translational reciprocating motion of the rod 32.
  • the rod 32 imparts the reciprocating motion to the rocker arm 22 to operate the valve stem 38 in a conventional fashion.
  • the cam 26 on the rocker arm 22 drives the actuating arm 14 of the fuel pump 10, thereby actuating the pump.
  • the curved cam surface 41 provides a smooth contacting surface which principally slides against the cam follower sur ⁇ face 21 on the actuating arm 14 as the rocker arm 22 oscillates about the axis of the rocker shaft 24.
  • the fuel pump is located on the lower portion of the engine block and has the cam follower surface riding directly on a cam on the camshaft. When located in this position, difficulty is encountered in reaching the fuel pump because of the crowded condition of the engine compartment.
  • the present invention overcomes this disadvantage by allow ⁇ ing the fuel pump to be placed on the upper portion of
  • the fuel pump can be driven off any one of the plurality of rocker arms of the engine. This affords flexibility in determining location and access ⁇ ibility of the fuel pump.

Abstract

Pompe a carburant (10) entrainee par un levier oscillant (22) monte de maniere a pouvoir osciller sur la culasse d'un moteur a combustion interne (12). La pompe a carburant (10) est montee sur une partie superieure (11) du moteur (12) avec un levier d'actionnement (14) de la pompe a carburant (10) s'etendant dans une position de contact avec une came (26) fixee sur le levier oscillant (22). Le mouvement d'oscillation du levier oscillant (22) et de la came (26) entraine l'oscillation du levier d'actionnement (14) et l'actionnement de la pompe a carburant (10). La pompe a carburant (10) peut etre entrainee par tout levier oscillant (22) du moteur (12), permettant ainsi une flexibilite quant a la disposition de la pompe a carburant (10) dans un emplacement accessible.
