摘要:
A method for controlling drive of an injector for an internal combustion engine which is capable of reducing a minimum injection quantity available for the control to increase a dynamic range of the injector is disclosed. A voltage across a solenoid coil is stepwise increased when a drive pulse is generated, so that a current fed to the solenoid coil is increased to a level higher than that of the drive current at the time when an injection valve starts port opening operation. Then, the drive current is gradually reduced toward a hold value required to hold the injection valve at a port opening position at a time-based variation ratio less than that of the drive current at the time when the voltage across the solenoid coil is stepwise decreased from a peak value, so that the voltage is stepwise reduced at the time when the drive pulse is extinguished, resulting in the drive current being extinguished.
摘要:
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine capable of being normally operated while using an output of a generator driven by the internal combustion engine as a power supply therefor. The system includes a switching circuit for switching a driving current fed to an injector from a main power circuit which uses the output of the generator as a power supply therefor. The switching circuit is controlled by a switch control circuit for which a power supply comprises a control power circuit. The control power circuit includes a storage unit for storing electric power therein, so that the storage unit may be act as a power supply when the output of the main power circuit is reduced, to thereby feed the switch control circuit with a power supply voltage of a level equal to or above an operable level. The storage unit is charged by the output of the main power circuit or an output of a generating coil for a control power supply provided in the generator in a manner to be separate from a generating coil for the main power supply.
