Abstract

Abstract A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises a detecting means for detecting the decrement of air intake quantity for the internal combustion engine and a sensor for detecting temperature of the cooling water of the internal combustion engine so that the fuel supply quantity is decreased according to the temperature of cooling water when the decrement of air intake quantity is detected, thereby enabling rapid decrement of fuel supply quantity according to the decrement of the revolution of the engine and compensation of fuel supply loss, which is caused by adhesion of liquefying fuel inside the air intake pipe and the like, according to the temperature of cooling water.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 201 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising: an air flow sensor for detecting a quantity of air sucked into said internal combustion engine; a revolution sensor for measuring a number of revolutions of said internal combustion engine; first detecting means, responsive to said air flow sensor and said revolution sensor, for generating a first value, synchronously with the revolution of said internal combustion engine, indicative of a quantity of air drawn into said engine per one suction; AN computing means, responsive to said first detecting means, for blurring said first value synchronously with said revolution to produce a blurred value; second detecting means, responsive to said AN computing means, for generating a second value indicative of an amount of decrease in said blurred value and for adjusting said second value to an adjusted second value when said second value is less than a predetermined amount; control means, responsive to said AN computing means, for determining a fuel supply quantity based at least in part on said blurred value; and correcting means for correcting said fuel supply quantity based at least in part on said adjusted second value when said second value is less than a predetermined amount.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 201 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising: an air flow sensor for detecting a quantity of air sucked into said internal combustion engine; a revolution sensor for measuring a number of revolutions of said internal combustion engine; first detecting means, responsive to said air flow sensor and said revolution sensor, for generating a first value, synchronously with the revolution of said internal combustion engine, indicative of a quantity of air drawn into said engine per one suction; AN computing means, responsive to said first detecting means, for blurring said first value synchronously with said revolution to produce a blurred value; second detecting means, responsive to said AN computing means, for generating a second value indicative of an amount of decrease in said blurred value and for adjusting said second value to an adjusted second value when said second value is less than a predetermined amount; control means, responsive to said AN computing means, for determining a fuel supply quantity based at least in part on said blurred value; and correcting means for correcting said fuel supply quantity based at least in part on said adjusted second value when said second value is less than a predetermined amount.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
A fuel supply control apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said second detecting means prevents said adjusted second value from exceeding a predetermined upper limit.
