Abstract
Abstract According to the present invention, when means is provided for correcting a shift in phase of an engine rotation pulse and a dispersion in responses of an electromagnetic spill valve, and a control signal to a fuel injection pump is corrected in response to an output from the correcting means, if abnormality of output from the correcting means is detected, then the control signal to the fuel injection pump is corrected by use of a fixed valve. As a consequence, even when the output from the correcting means is abnormal, neither excessively large nor excessively small correction is performed and the running at the lowest level can be made, preventing the diesel smoke from being deteriorated and the engine from being damaged.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine, comprising correcting a shift in an engine rotation pulse and dispersion of responses of an electromagnetic spill valve by correcting means which provide a fixed output, correcting a control signal to a fuel injection pump in response to said fixed output from said correcting means, detecting abnormal outputs from said correcting means; and correcting a control signal to said fuel injection pump by use of a fixed value when the output from said correcting means is abnormal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
89 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine, comprising correcting a shift in an engine rotation pulse and dispersion of responses of an electromagnetic spill valve by correcting means which provide a fixed output, correcting a control signal to a fuel injection pump in response to said fixed output from said correcting means, detecting abnormal outputs from said correcting means; and correcting a control signal to said fuel injection pump by use of a fixed value when the output from said correcting means is abnormal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
84 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said correcting means includes: a phase correction resistor for correcting a change in an injection quantity per stroke due to a press-in shift of an engine rotation pulser and a shift in position of an engine rotation sensor; and a response correction resistor for correcting a change in an injection quantity per stroke due to a dispersion of delayed responses of the electromagnetic spill valve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said correcting means is a phase correction resistor for correcting a change in an injection quantity per stroke due to a press-in shift of an engine rotation pulser and a shift in position of an engine rotation sensor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said correcting means is a response correction resistor for correcting a change in an injection quantity per stroke due to a dispersion of delayed responses of an electromagnetic spill valve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein abnormality of output from said correcting means is detected from the fact that the conditions of output from said correcting means are beyond a normal range continued more than a preset number of times.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method of correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1, wherein said fixed value is made to be a value close to the lower limit value of the dispersion of output from said correcting means.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
91 words
A device for correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine, comprising means for correcting a shift in an engine rotation pulse and a dispersion of responses of an electromagnetic spill valve such that a control signal to a fuel injection pump is corrected in response to a fixed output from said correcting means, means for detecting abnormal output from said correcting means; and means for correcting a control signal to said fuel injection pump by use of a fixed value when the output from said correcting means is abnormal.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
91 words
A device for correcting a fuel injection quantity in a diesel engine, comprising means for correcting a shift in an engine rotation pulse and a dispersion of responses of an electromagnetic spill valve such that a control signal to a fuel injection pump is corrected in response to a fixed output from said correcting means, means for detecting abnormal output from said correcting means; and means for correcting a control signal to said fuel injection pump by use of a fixed value when the output from said correcting means is abnormal.
