Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection system of the type in which the opening time of a fuel injection valve is controlled on the basis of a predetermined program and in accordance with various operation parameters such as the intake air flow rate, engine speed and engine temperature. The system has a means for detecting at least one of the offset of the engine speed from a command speed and the engine speed variation per unit time, the data being used together with the above-mentioned operation parameters in controlling the opening time of the fuel injection valve.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A fuel injection system including valve opening time determining means for determining the opening time of a fuel injection valve in accordance with engine operation parameters which include intake air flow rate, engine speed and engine temperature, said fuel injection system comprising: speed change detecting means for detecting variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time; correction component generating means for generating a correction component for correcting the opening time of said injection valve in accordance with the output of said speed change detecting means, including means for storing a map of correction component values which may be accessed by addresses based at least on said values of variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time detected by said speed change detecting means; and means for supplying said correction component to said valve opening time determining means as one of the engine operation parameters.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A fuel injection system including valve opening time determining means for determining the opening time of a fuel injection valve in accordance with engine operation parameters which include intake air flow rate, engine speed and engine temperature, said fuel injection system comprising: speed change detecting means for detecting variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time; correction component generating means for generating a correction component for correcting the opening time of said injection valve in accordance with the output of said speed change detecting means, including means for storing a map of correction component values which may be accessed by addresses based at least on said values of variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time detected by said speed change detecting means; and means for supplying said correction component to said valve opening time determining means as one of the engine operation parameters.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fuel injection system according to claim 1, wherein the value of said correction component is increased as the amounts of said variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time are increased.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
145 words
A fuel injection system including valve opening time determining means for determining the opening time of a fuel injection valve in accordance with engine operation parameters which include intake air flow rate, engine speed and engine temperature, said fuel injection system comprising: speed change detecting means for detecting a first value indicating an offset of actual engine speed from a command speed and a second value indicating variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time; correction component generating means responsive to said first and second values detected by said speed change detecting means for generating a correction component for correcting the opening time of said fuel injection valve; and means for supplying a correction component generated by said correction component generating means to said valve opening time determining means for use in determining the operating time of said fuel injection valve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
145 words
A fuel injection system including valve opening time determining means for determining the opening time of a fuel injection valve in accordance with engine operation parameters which include intake air flow rate, engine speed and engine temperature, said fuel injection system comprising: speed change detecting means for detecting a first value indicating an offset of actual engine speed from a command speed and a second value indicating variation in the number of revolutions of the engine per unit time; correction component generating means responsive to said first and second values detected by said speed change detecting means for generating a correction component for correcting the opening time of said fuel injection valve; and means for supplying a correction component generated by said correction component generating means to said valve opening time determining means for use in determining the operating time of said fuel injection valve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A fuel injection system according to claim 3, wherein said correction component generating means includes means for storing a map of correction component values accessible by addresses based on said first and second values detected by said speed change detecting means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A fuel injection system according to claim 3, further including an idle speed control valve which operates during idle speed control conditions, and means for inhibiting said supplying means when said idle speed control valve is not operating.
