Abstract
Abstract In controlling a fuel injection quantity by spilling a part of fuel fed from a high pressure chamber of a fuel injection pump using a high pressure electromagnetic valve which is on-off controlled by a driving circuit in accordance with engine operating conditions, switch means is provided between the high pressure electromagnetic valve and a power source, an output signal from the driving circuit is monitored, and the switch means is opened when the output signal from the driving circuit continues more than a predetermined period.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine wherein a fuel injection quantity fed to the engine is controlled by spilling a part of fuel fed from a high pressure chamber of a fuel injection pump using a high pressure electromagnetic valve, said valve being on-off controlled in accordance with the engine operating conditions, comprising: fuel cut means for cutting said fuel injection quantity fed to the engine; switch means provided between said high pressure electromagnetic valve and power source: a driving circuit provided between said high pressure electromagnetic valve and ground, for on-off controlling said electromagnetic valve; and trouble detecting means for monitoring a signal for driving said electromagnetic valve, and opening said switch means to keep said electromagnetic valve in a constantly deenergized condition and drive said fuel cut means to cut the fuel injection quantity fed to the engine when said electromagnetic valve is placed in an enegizing condition by said signal for driving said electromagnetic valve for more than a predetermined period.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine wherein a fuel injection quantity fed to the engine is controlled by spilling a part of fuel fed from a high pressure chamber of a fuel injection pump using a high pressure electromagnetic valve, said valve being on-off controlled in accordance with the engine operating conditions, comprising: fuel cut means for cutting said fuel injection quantity fed to the engine; switch means provided between said high pressure electromagnetic valve and power source: a driving circuit provided between said high pressure electromagnetic valve and ground, for on-off controlling said electromagnetic valve; and trouble detecting means for monitoring a signal for driving said electromagnetic valve, and opening said switch means to keep said electromagnetic valve in a constantly deenergized condition and drive said fuel cut means to cut the fuel injection quantity fed to the engine when said electromagnetic valve is placed in an enegizing condition by said signal for driving said electromagnetic valve for more than a predetermined period.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
107 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said trouble detecting means comprises: a charging and discharging circuit which starts charging for a predetermined time when sid signal for driving said high pressure electromagnetic valve places said valve in said energizing condition, and discharging when said signal places said valve in said deenergizing condition; and a comparing circuit for comparing an output level of said charging and discharging circuit with a predetermined level, and opening said switch means and driving said fuel cut means when said output level of said charging and discharging circuit is higher than said predetermined level.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said swich means is a relay of normally open type.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said high pressure electromagnetic valve spills a fuel in a pressurized fuel feed chamber of a fuel injection pump to a low pressure side of fuel when said high pressure electromagnetic valve is not energized.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein disconnection detecting means for detecting a disconnection of a wire between said high pressure electromagnetic valve and said driving circuit is provided, and said trouble detecting means opens said switch means and drives said fuel cut means when said disconnection detecting means detects said disconnection of the wire.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
67 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said fuel cut means comprises a fuel cut valve for cutting a fuel fed to a pressurized fuel feed chamber of the fuel injection pump, and said fuel cut valve is connected in parallel to said high pressure electromagnetic valve and connected in series to said power source through said switch means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 6, wherin said fuel cut valve cuts the fuel fed to the pressurized fuel feed chamber when said fuel cut valve fuel cut valve is not energized.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, further comprising means for closing said switch means withal said signal for driving said high pressure electromagnetic valve when a voltage of said power source is low and the engine is in a starting condition.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
75 words
A fuel injection device in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 8, wherein said means for closing said switch means comprises: a logical AND circuit for outputting an on signal when a starter signal and a signal detecting low voltage of said power source are on; and a transistor for turning off the signal inputted to a charging and discharging circuit of said trouble detecting means, when said logical AND circuit is on.
