20110220067 | Fuel Injection System for Internal-Combustion Engine and Method of Controlling Fuel Injection System for Internal-Combustion Engine - Disclosed is a fuel injection system that is used with an internal-combustion engine to reliably perform a requested fuel injection operation a requested number of times even when a boost voltage is lowered. The fuel injection system monitors the boost voltage immediately before the start of fuel injection, and varies a valve open time in accordance with the monitored boost voltage. Even when the boost voltage is lowered, the fuel injection system performs a fuel injection operation the requested number of times. | 09-15-2011 |
20120180754 | Electromagnetic Fuel Injection Valve and Internal Combustion Engine Control Device Using the Same - Disclosed is an electromagnetic fuel injection valve capable of reducing dynamic flow variation relative to the pulse widths of individual units in a lower pulse region than under idling conditions under which the dynamic flow is adjusted. Also disclosed is an internal combustion engine control device that utilizes the electromagnetic fuel injection valve. The electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes a fixed core, a coil disposed at the periphery of the fixed core, an anchor facing the lower end of the fixed core, a movable element with a valve seat formed on its lower end, and a regulator press-fit into a through-hole in the fixed core, the fixed core being a central shaft of the electromagnetic fuel injection valve. | 07-19-2012 |
20120216783 | Drive Device for Electromagnetic Fuel Injection Valve - The drive device is configured to, during a time interval between an earlier fuel injection (first fuel injection) and a later fuel injection (second fuel injection), supply an electromagnetic coil with an intermediate current at a voltage with a level of not opening the valve. Further, the drive device sets a voltage application for supplying the intermediate current to initiate before a valve closing in the earlier fuel injection and terminate before half a period of time between a first instant when the valve is closed in the earlier fuel injection and a second instant when a supply of a drive current for opening the valve is initiated in the later fuel injection. | 08-30-2012 |
20120227709 | Fuel Injection Device - In a fuel injection device, a driving unit structure has a magnetic aperture, in which an inner diameter is gradually enlarged toward the mover side, provided in an inner peripheral surface of the magnetic core. It is possible to reduce magnetic delay time upon valve opening from the supply of the electric current to the coil to the rise of magnetic flux and magnetic delay time upon valve closing from the stoppage of the electric current to the coil to reduction of magnetic flux, by providing a magnetic aperture in the inner peripheral surface of the magnetic core. Thus it is possible to improve the dynamic responsiveness upon valve opening and valve closing. | 09-13-2012 |
20120318883 | Fuel Injection Device - A method of controlling a fuel injection device that can control a small amount of injection is provided. A fuel injection device for use in an internal combustion engine, includes: a valve body that can open and close a fuel passage, a needle that transfers a force with the valve body, and executes valve opening/closing operation, and an electromagnet that includes a coil and a magnetic core provided as a driver for driving the needle, and a cylindrical nozzle holder disposed on an outer periphery of the magnetic core and the needle, in which a current is supplied to the coil to exert a magnetic attractive force between the magnetic core and the needle to open the valve body. | 12-20-2012 |
20130075501 | FUEL INJECTOR - Improving the injection fuel mass accuracy of fuel injector, it is necessary to make the fuel injector perform seat valve opening and closing operation quickly. When the shapes of a fixed core and an anchor are optimized to improve the responsiveness of a magnetic flux, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient fuel path area while preventing adhesion by making the adherence phenomenon rarely occur between an end face of the anchor and an end face of the fixed core. A through hole passes through an anchor forming an armature of an electromagnetic fuel injector from a face of the anchor where the anchor faces a fixed core to a back face where the through hole has a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion, and the large-diameter portion is located in an upstream part and is offset to the outer periphery with respect to the small-diameter portion. | 03-28-2013 |
20130087639 | Electromagnetic Fuel Injection Valve - An electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes: a valve element which closes a fuel passage by coming into contact with a valve seat and opens the fuel passage by going away from the valve seat; an electromagnet which includes a coil and a magnetic core formed as a drive portion for driving the valve element; a movable element which is held by the valve element in a state where the movable element is displaceable in the direction of a drive force of the valve element relative to the valve element; a first biasing portion for biasing the valve element in the direction opposite to the direction of a drive force generated by the drive portion; a second biasing portion for biasing the movable element in the direction of the drive force with a biasing force smaller than the biasing force generated by the first biasing portion; and a restricting portion for restricting the displacement of the movable element in the direction of the drive force relative to the valve element. | 04-11-2013 |
20130139791 | DRIVE UNIT OF FUEL INJECTION DEVICE - In a drive unit of a fuel injection device, an electric current is supplied to the fuel injection device by applying a high voltage to the fuel injection device from a high voltage source whose voltage is boosted to a voltage higher than a battery voltage at the time of opening a valve of the fuel injection device. Thereafter, the electric current supplied to the fuel injection device is lowered to a current value at which a valve element cannot be held in a valve open state by stopping the applying of the high voltage from the high voltage source. Thereafter, in a stage where a supply current is switched to a hold current, another high voltage is applied to the fuel injection device from the high voltage source. | 06-06-2013 |
