  • Patent number: 10443554
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump includes a plunger, a plunger barrel which supports the plunger, a body which houses the plunger and the plunger barrel, a plate which covers an opening formed on the body, a control lever turnably attached near the plate, and an adjuster bolt which abuts against the control lever to restrict turn of the control lever and is supported by a stay disposed on the plate.

  • Patent number: 9816471
    Abstract: Provided is a configuration which prevents an engine from being unable to start in the state in which dew condensation occurred in a fuel injection pump and froze. The present invention relates to a fuel injection pump which is provided with a pump body and a hydraulic head and driven by an engine, and is characterized in that while the engine is in operation, the temperature of the hydraulic head is increased to a dew-point temperature or higher. Consequently, it is possible to increase the temperature of the hydraulic head and remove water in the fuel injection pump while the engine is in operation. Accordingly, the engine can be prevented from being unable to start in the state that dew condensation occurred in the fuel injection pump and froze.

  • Publication number: 20160230727
    Abstract: A fuel injection pump delivers, at high pressure, a fuel to be injected into a combustion chamber of a diesel engine and includes a delivery valve disposed in the middle of a path for pressure-feeding the fuel from a plunger to a fuel injection nozzle. A damping valve is disposed on the downstream side of the delivery valve. The damping valve includes a valve element which has an orifice formed on an axial part thereof and is biased downward (toward the upstream side) by a damping valve spring and a receiving element which has a passage hole formed on an axial part thereof and abuts against the valve element. A recess which communicates with the passage hole is formed on a face of the valve element, the face facing the receiving element.
