Abstract

Abstract A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention relates to an apparatus, in which the air intake quantity for the internal combustion engine is detected by an air flow sensor and a quantity of a fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine is controlled on the basis of an output from said air flow sensor, provided with the air flow sensor and a crank angle sensor for detecting a crank angle of the internal combustion engine and capable of reasonably controlling an air fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine even in the case, where a throttle valve is almost completely opened, by detecting the air intake quantity in a range of a predetermined crank angle interval, determining a resulting value which is proportional to the air intake quantity per one intake stroke of the internal combustion engine, on the basis of the detected value, limiting the resulting value by a predetermined value corrected by parameters of the internal combustion engine, and controlling the quantity of a fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine on the basis of the limited resulting value.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising an air flow sensor detecting quantity of intake air for the internal combustion engine, a crank angle sensor for detecting a crank angle of said internal combustion engine, an operating means for determining a value proportional to the quantity of intake air per one intake stroke of said internal combustion engine as provided by an output of said air flow sensor in a range where said crank angle sensor detects the crank angle of the internal combustion engine, said determined value being transmitted as an output to a controlling means for limiting said output of said operating means by a predetermined value L and controlling a quantity of a fuel to be supplied to said internal combustion engine dependent on an output of said operating means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, comprising an air flow sensor detecting quantity of intake air for the internal combustion engine, a crank angle sensor for detecting a crank angle of said internal combustion engine, an operating means for determining a value proportional to the quantity of intake air per one intake stroke of said internal combustion engine as provided by an output of said air flow sensor in a range where said crank angle sensor detects the crank angle of the internal combustion engine, said determined value being transmitted as an output to a controlling means for limiting said output of said operating means by a predetermined value L and controlling a quantity of a fuel to be supplied to said internal combustion engine dependent on an output of said operating means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 32 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine as set forth in claim 1, in which said predetermined value L is corrected by operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 33 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine as set forth in claim 2, in which one of the operating parameters is the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine as set forth in claim 2, in which one of the operating parameters is water temperature in the internal combustion engine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 32 words
A fuel supply control apparatus for an internal combustion engine as set forth in claim 2, in which one of the operating parameters is air intake temperature for the internal combustion engine.
