Abstract
Abstract A base injection pulse for regulating an injecting time of an injector is determined by the number of revolutions of an engine and the quantity of an intake air. The base injection pulse is calibrated or compensated as follows; T.sub.i =T.sub.p (1+K.sub.a +K.sub.b) wherein T i : a pulse width of the calibrated injection pulse, which determines the injecting time of the injector; T p : a pulse width of the base injection pulse; K a : a calibration coefficient determined by the level of an acceleration; and K b : a calibration coefficient determined by the level of a deceleration preceding to the acceleration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A fuel injection control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, in which the base amount of an fuel to be injected is regulated by a base injection pulse obtained in accordance with fundamental parameters representing the operational condition of the engine, and it is reduced to an extremely low level or substantially zero when the engine is decelerated and, upon a re-acceleration succeeding the deceleration, calibrated by an acceleration enrichment determined by a level of the re-acceleration, characterized by an additional acceleration enrichment means for further calibrating the amount of the fuel to be injected in response to the level of the deceleration preceding to the re-acceleration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A fuel injection control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, in which the base amount of an fuel to be injected is regulated by a base injection pulse obtained in accordance with fundamental parameters representing the operational condition of the engine, and it is reduced to an extremely low level or substantially zero when the engine is decelerated and, upon a re-acceleration succeeding the deceleration, calibrated by an acceleration enrichment determined by a level of the re-acceleration, characterized by an additional acceleration enrichment means for further calibrating the amount of the fuel to be injected in response to the level of the deceleration preceding to the re-acceleration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A fuel injection control apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein said level of the deceleration is discriminated by the decreasing rate of the number of revolutions of the engine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
82 words
A fuel injection control apparatus as defined in claim 1, wherein an injecting time T i of an injector calibrated by said acceleration enrichment and said additional acceleration enrichment is as follows; T.sub.i =T.sub.p (1+K.sub.a +K.sub.b) wherein T p : the injecting time on a basis of the base injection pulse; K a : a calibration coefficient determined in accordance with the acceleration level; and K b : a calibration coefficient determined by the level of the deceleration preceding to the acceleration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A fuel injection control apparatus as defined in claim 3, wherein at least one of the calibration coefficients K a and K b is so preset that the amount of the fuel to be injected is reduced as the temperature of a cooling water of the engine rises.
