Fuel pump driving structure and internal combustion engine

摘要

The fuel pump driving structure includes a camshaft and a pump cam member. The camshaft is rotatably supported at an end by a cylinder head. The pump cam member has a fitting hole into which the end of the camshaft is press fitted, and is operatively coupled to a high-pressure fuel pump. The pump cam member includes a pump cam section and a first contact section. The pump cam section has a first lift portion operating the high-pressure fuel pump, and a base circular portion that does not operate the high-pressure fuel pump. The first contact section is in a position offset from a position of the first lift portion with respect to a circumferential direction and contacting a portion of the camshaft in an axial direction at a position radially outward of an external circumferential surface of the one end of the camshaft.

主权项

1. A fuel pump driving structure configured to drive a high-pressure fuel pump of an internal combustion engine, the fuel pump driving structure comprising:
a camshaft configured and arranged to be rotatably supported at an end by a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine; and a pump cam member having an internal circumference surface defining a fitting hole into which the end of the camshaft is press fitted, and configured to be operatively coupled to the high-pressure fuel pump to drive the high-pressure fuel pump, the pump cam member including a pump cam section having a first lift portion configured to operate the high-pressure fuel pump, and a base circular portion configured so as to not operate the high-pressure fuel pump, and a first contact section arranged in a position offset from a position of the first lift portion with respect to a circumferential direction, and contacting a portion of the camshaft in an axial direction of the camshaft at a position radially outward of an external circumferential surface of the one end of the camshaft so as to reduce bending of the camshaft where the pump cam member is mounted.
