Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas supply pump for a ship dual fuel engine is described. The gas supply pump includes a rotatable camshaft, a plurality of cam noses arranged at regular intervals along a lengthwise direction of the camshaft, a cam roller in close contact with each cam nose, a drive shaft and a piston adjacent to each other on one side of the cam roller, a liquefied gas compression device to compress and discharge liquefied gas by a linear reciprocating motion of the piston, a coupling case at a coupled part of the drive shaft and the piston, a rack member connected to the drive shaft, or connected and fixed to both the drive shaft and the piston in an internal space of the coupling case, and a pinion engaged with a teeth-shaped rack on an outer surface of the rack member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A gas supply pump for a ship dual fuel engine, the gas supply pump comprising: a rotatable camshaft; a plurality of cam noses arranged at regular intervals along a lengthwise direction of the camshaft, wherein the cam noses are eccentric from a center of the camshaft; a cam roller in close contact with each cam nose; a drive shaft and a piston adjacent to each other on one side of the cam roller; a liquefied gas compression device to compress and discharge liquefied gas by a linear reciprocating motion of the piston; a coupling case at a coupled part of the drive shaft and the piston; a rack member connected to the drive shaft, or connected and fixed to both the drive shaft and the piston in an internal space of the coupling case; and a pinion engaged with a teeth-shaped rack on an outer surface of the rack member, wherein, as the camshaft rotates, when the cam nose moves in a compression direction of the piston, the piston is compressed, and when the cam nose moves in a decompression direction of the piston, the piston is decompressed, wherein the cam roller is selectively spaced apart from the cam nose, and when the cam roller and the cam nose are spaced apart from each other, a rotational driving force of the cam nose is not transmitted to the piston, and wherein the cam nose and the cam roller are spaced apart from each other by a movement of the rack member and the pinion which are engaged with each other. 2 . The gas supply pump of claim 1 , further comprising: a pinion guide member on the other side of the pinion to transmit the driving force to the pinion, wherein, when the pinion guide member moves down, the pinion rotates in a counterclockwise direction, and the rack member connected to the drive shaft moves up by the counterclockwise rotation of the pinion, and the cam nose and the cam roller are spaced apart from each other by the upward movement of the rack member. 3 . The gas supply pump of claim 2 , wherein the pinion guide member makes a reciprocating motion by a hydraulic cylinder.
