Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection equipment including a fuel injector for injecting fuel into a fuel injected space of an internal combustion engine and a fuel pump is disclosed. A generator which is driven by the internal combustion engine and has characteristics of being increased in output voltage or output current with an increase in engine rotation speed is used as any one of an injector driving power supply for feeding the fuel injector with an exciting current through an injector trigger circuit and a fuel pump driving power supply. Use of the generator as the power supply permits the fuel injection equipment to be controlled without requiring a complicated control circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
A fuel injection equipment in combination with an internal combustion engine which does not have a battery serving as a control power supply comprising: a fuel injector including an exciting coil and injecting fuel into a fuel injected space of an internal combustion engine when said exciting coil is fed with an exciting current of a predetermined level or more; a fuel pump for feeding fuel from a fuel tank to said fuel injector; a fuel pump driving power supply for driving said fuel pump; a driving power circuit including an injector driving power supply and generating a driving voltage applied to said exciting coil; and an injector trigger circuit for permitting said exciting current to be fed from said driving power circuit to said exciting coil of said fuel injector when an injection command signal is fed thereto; said fuel pump driving power supply and injector driving power supply comprising a magneto driven by said internal combustion engine and having characteristics of being increased in output voltage or output current with an increase in engine rotation speed; said magneto comprising an AC multipolar magneto including a generating coil for said fuel pump driving power supply and a generating coil for said injector driving power supply which are arranged separate from each other.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A fuel injection equipment as defined in claim 1, wherein said driving power circuit includes a voltage regulator which prevents said driving voltage from being excessively increased when the engine rotation speed is at a high level.
