Abstract
Abstract A fuel supply control system for an automobile engine which comprises fuel increasing device operable in response to an output fed from an acceleration detector for increasing the quantity of fuel to be supplied, and a rate-of-increase adjusting device for adjusting the rate of increase of the fuel to be supplied. The rate of increase of the fuel to be supplied becomes high as the air-fuel ratio of the combustible air-fuel mixture detected shortly before the acceleration is high.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
240 words
A fuel supply control system for an internal combustion engine which comprises: a suction air detecting means for detecting information associated with the quantity of air sucked into the engine; a fuel supply means for supplying into the engine a quantity of fuel determined in dependence on the quantity of air detected by the suction air detecting means so that the air-fuel ratio of combustion gases to be supplied into the engine will be one of at least two different values; an acceleration detecting means for detecting acceleration of the engine; a fuel increasing means for increasing in a predetermined amount the quantity of fuel to be supplied from the fuel supply means into the engine when the acceleration is detected; means for detecting information associated with the air-fuel ratio of a combustible mixture to be supplied; and a rate-of-increase determining means responsive to respective signals from said acceleration detecting means and said means for detecting information associated with the air-fuel ratio for determining the value of increase of the fuel when the degree of acceleration exceeds a predetermined value, said rate of increase determining means including first determining means for determining a value of increase of the fuel in dependence on the acceleration then occuring, and second determining means for determining a value of increase of the fuel in dependence on the air-fuel ratio prevailing shortly before the acceleration and regardless of the air-fuel ratio assumed during the acceleration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
240 words
A fuel supply control system for an internal combustion engine which comprises: a suction air detecting means for detecting information associated with the quantity of air sucked into the engine; a fuel supply means for supplying into the engine a quantity of fuel determined in dependence on the quantity of air detected by the suction air detecting means so that the air-fuel ratio of combustion gases to be supplied into the engine will be one of at least two different values; an acceleration detecting means for detecting acceleration of the engine; a fuel increasing means for increasing in a predetermined amount the quantity of fuel to be supplied from the fuel supply means into the engine when the acceleration is detected; means for detecting information associated with the air-fuel ratio of a combustible mixture to be supplied; and a rate-of-increase determining means responsive to respective signals from said acceleration detecting means and said means for detecting information associated with the air-fuel ratio for determining the value of increase of the fuel when the degree of acceleration exceeds a predetermined value, said rate of increase determining means including first determining means for determining a value of increase of the fuel in dependence on the acceleration then occuring, and second determining means for determining a value of increase of the fuel in dependence on the air-fuel ratio prevailing shortly before the acceleration and regardless of the air-fuel ratio assumed during the acceleration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
