The invention prevents reverse rotation of a diesel engine which is possible to occur when the engine is started. A camshaftis driven by a crankshaftthrough power transmission means, and camsandare provided on camshaftso as to drive a fuel injection pump, an intake valve and an exhaust valve, respectively. In fuel injection pump cam, middle stage portionis radially larger than minimum radius portionand is disposed at a predetermined angle Ron the back side in the rotation direction of the fuel injection pump cam from maximum radius portion

Reverse rotation preventing mechanism for diesel engine

A diesel engineof the present invention comprises: a camshaftwith a cam; a fuel injection pumphaving a plunger; a tappet for driving the plunger; and a slide portion. The tappet includes a rollerand a roller tappet. The rollerserves as a rotor which abuts against the camso as to drive the fuel injection pump, and a roller tappetserves as a support portion for supporting the rotor. The slide portionslidably fits to the support portion. The roller tappethas a tappet guide serving as a projection for restriction of rotation, and the slide portionhas a guide grooveinto which the projection is fitted. Therefore, the rotor and the cam abutting against the rotor can be prevented from abrasion so as to maintain high accuracy in controlling slide stroke of the plunger.

Diesel engine

With regard to a construction that a fanis provided at one side of an engineand covered by a fan casing, and an air cleaneris arranged near the fan casingand at a side of a cylinder headon which an intake portis disposed, a suction portcommunicated with the inside of the fan casingis provided in a main bodyof the air cleaner. A barrieris provided at a position facing to the suction portin the air cleaner. A wall standing toward the fan casingand the cylinder headis formed on the outer surface of the main bodyof the air cleaner. An air intake part is provided on one of side surfaces of a cover bodyof the air cleanerand the cover bodyis constructed to be an equilateral polygon. An intake pipecommunicating the air cleanerwith the intake portof the cylinder headis constructed integrally with a main bodyof the air cleaner
