摘要:
A common-rail fuel injection system for an engine includes a fuel injection device for injecting high pressure fuel from a common rail into the engine. A pumping chamber is connected to the common rail. A fuel feed device serves to feed fuel to the pumping chamber. A plunger moves upward and downward in accordance with rotation of an output shaft of the engine. The plunger defines a part of the pumping chamber. A relief valve serves to selectively return fuel from the pumping chamber to a low pressure side via a fuel return passage. The relief valve is urged toward its closed position by a pressure of the fuel in the pumping chamber. A valve closing device serves to close the relief valve. A fuel pumping control device serves to drive and control the valve closing device at a given timing to close the relief valve, thereby enabling a pressure in the pumping chamber to increase in accordance with upward movement of the plunger and pumping a given amount of fuel from the pumping chamber to the common rail. An engine speed detecting device serves to detect a rotational speed of the output shaft of the engine. In cases where an engine rotational speed detected by the engine speed detecting means is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference speed, a fuel feed suspending device serves to suspend fuel feed to the pumping chamber by the fuel feed means.

A system for correcting for atmospheric pressure without using an atmospheric pressure sensor. A single pressure sensor measures air pressure in the intake manifold of a fuel injected engine. A control unit controls the fuel amount and injection timing in accordance with various engine parameters. The intake pressure at a predetermined time is estimated as being indicative of atmospheric pressure. This intake pressure may be further corrected to provide a better estimate. When the engine operates at a low speed and high load, this pressure data is also indicative of atmospheric pressure. The amount of fuel to be injected and the ignition timing can be controlled using this updated atmospheric data. This provides better operation of the system.

In a diesel engine control system, an intake air density compensation system is provided for compensating the control amounts of a diesel engine in accordance with the variations of intake air density. The variation amount of the intake air density is indicated by the difference between the control input amount obtained in accordance with an ignition timing closed loop control and the control amount obtained in accordance with an ignition open loop control. The various control amounts of the diesel engine is compensated on the basis of the difference so that the diesel engine is ensured to be optimally operated irrespective of the variations of intake air density.

A single pressure sensor is provided to measure the air pressure in the intake manifold of a fuel injection engine. An electronic control unit having a microcomputer is provided to control the fuel amount and ignition timing in accordance with various engine parameters including the engine rotational speed and the intake pressure. The intake pressure is first measured before the engine is started so that the data of this pressure can be used as data indicative of atmospheric pressure. During operation of the engine, the pressure data may be used as normal intake pressure data. However, when the engine operates at a low speed and under high load, the pressure data is used as data indicative of the atmospheric pressure with slight correction. The amount of fuel to be injected and ignition timing thus controlled with updated data of atmospheric pressure, and therefore, undesirable phenomena, which are apt to occur when an engine is operated at a high altitude place, are effectively prevented, resulting in desired air/fuel ratio and ignition timing.

In a fuel injection control system for multi-cylinder internal combustion engines, the speed of the engine is monitored and sampled at predetermined angular intervals of engine revolution to detect instantaneous engine speed values identifiable by individual cylinders. From the successively detected instantaneous speeds is derived an average value which is used as a reference for the instantaneous speed values to detect their deviations therefrom. Cylinder-to-cylinder variations in engine speed are minimized by metering the fuel according to the individually derived engine speed deviations.

The ECU controls at least one component of a fuel injection system by outputting a control signal in accordance with a fuel pressure. The ECU is initially designed based on a basic pattern of an output characteristic of a common rail pressure sensor defined between a fuel pressure and an output signal. The output characteristic may vary in each sensor element. The ECU detects an output signal corresponding to an atmospheric pressure to determine and learn the actual output characteristic of the common rail sensor, and corrects a control characteristic for the component in accordance with the leaned actual output characteristic. For example, the ECU changes the output characteristic to the learned one. Control accuracy in a common rail fuel injection system can considerably be improved while achieving a considerable reduction in cost of fabricating the common rail pressure sensor.
摘要:
In a fuel amount control apparatus arranged to determine the amount of fuel to be fed to respective cylinders so that the scattering in torque generation throughout the cylinders is suppressed, the amount of correction which is either added to or subtracted from a basic fuel amount, is computed such that a sum total of fuel amount correction factors substantially equals zero. To this end the sum total of the correction factors is first computed and is then checked whether an absolute value of the sum total is greater than a predetermined value. When greater, a given amount is either added to or subtracted from correction factors respectively provided for respective cylinders.

Fuel amount control apparatus arranged to determine the amount of fuel to be fed to respective cylinder so that the scattering in torque generation throughout the cylinders is suppressed. Correction amounts are first obtained during idling, and these correction amounts are then modified using at least one engine parameter so that they can be used not only in idle state but also other operating states. To this end, a correction factor is computed using engine speed or the like so as to modify the correction amounts thereby. As a result, a basic fuel amount is corrected by correction factors provided for respective cylinders where the correction factors are further modified to be suitable for any engine operating conditions, providing smooth rotation without uncomfortable vibrations.

The engine speed is periodically detected at every predetermined crankshaft angles for obtaining a plurality of engine speed data whose number equals an integral multiple of the number of cylinders of an internal combustion engine. Either maximum or minimum values among the plurality of engine speed data is determined, and such operations are repeated for a duration covering all power strokes within all the cylinders, thereby obtaining a plurality of sets of engine speed data. Then the order of engine speed data giving the maximum or minimum value within each set is obtained, and majority decision is effected to determine which order of data gives the maximum or minimum most frequently throughout all the sets. The difference between the maximum and minimum values is obtained for each set, and the amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine is controlled so that the difference becomes common to all the cylinders. The fuel amount control may be effected by means of an actuator which controls the position of a spill ring of a distributor injection pump.
摘要:
In a fuel injection system having a fuel injection pump of distribution type with an electromagnetic valve controlling the communication between a spill port and a lower pressure fuel chamber, the closing duration of the electromagnetic valve is controlled by a computer so that the closing duration is defined as the sum of prestroke time and actual injection time which are both prestored in one or more memories. The actual injection time is controlled in accordance with engine operating condition, while the prestroke time may also be controlled by manually setting the same or by way of a feedback control. The sum, which defines the closing duration of the electromagnetic valve, may be limited by a maximum value, which may be manually adjustable, so as to prevent excessive fuel flow. The prestroke time may be uniformly controlled through all the cylinders or may be independently controlled for respective cylinders.
