A pair of cut-off ports are formed in a plunger and a plunger barrel at a predetermined axial location and registrable with each other to spill pressurized fuel into a zone under lower pressure. A communication passageway communicates a pump working chamber defined by the plunger at one end thereof with the zone under lower pressure. A solenoid valve is arranged across the communication passageway for blocking same. Control means controls the solenoid valve to cause same to selectively assume an open position and a closed position. While the plunger moves toward the pump working chamber, the solenoid valve is closed by the control means to start injection of fuel present in the pump working chamber, and upon registration of the cut-off ports with each other, the fuel injection is terminated.

Electronically controlled distributor type fuel injection pump

A control signal which corresponds to an actual operating condition of the engine is determined on the basis of the design specifications irrespective of an actual operation amount of an operating member of the fuel injection apparatus. The result of the determination is provided for controlling a coupled apparatus which is equipped with the engine.

Control apparatus for internal combustion engine

A distribution type fuel injection pump for use in a fuel injection combustion engine comprising a plunger capable of moving reciprocally along its axis and simultaneously rotating about its axis and a couple of members forming a cam mechanism having a first cam member and a second cam member. The first cam member is mounted on the plunger and the second cam member is mounted on a housing rotatably about its axis. The couple of cam members cause the plunger to reciprocally move while the plunger is rotating. The angular position of the second cam member about its axis can be controlled by a fuel injection timing control means in accordance with the engine speed. The second cam member can also turn about its axis so as to be adjusted in its angular position by a fuel injection timing adjustment when a selected operating condition of the engine, for example the engine start, is carried out.

Distribution type fuel injection pump

A distribution type fuel injection apparatus has a fuel injection pump having a solenoid valve for controlling pressure of a high-pressure chamber of the apparatus. The solenoid valve is actuated or deactuated at the optimum time for fuel injection end or beginning by a control signal produced by a circuit for computing the optimum timing in accordance with the condition of engine operation. Thus, precise control of injection timing or injection amount injected can be attained by electronic control without a complex mechanical structure.

Distribution type fuel injection apparatus

In a fuel injection apparatus comprising an actuator for driving a member for controlling the amount of fuel injected, a computing circuit for computing a first signal representing an optimum amount of fuel injected on the basis of the engine operation conditions and a signal generator for generating a second signal representing the amount of fuel injected from an injection nozzle, the signal generator has a detector for generating a position signal indicative of the position of needle valve of the injection nozzle at the instant of injection, a converting circuit for converting the position signal into an open area signal representing an open area of the injection nozzle and a computing circuit for computing a signal indicative of the actual amount of fuel injected on the basis of the open area signal.

Fuel injection apparatus for internal combustion engines

In a distribution type fuel injection system, the fuel injection advance angle, or the relative angular position at which fuel injection begins, is controlled by a first spring loaded piston (44). The spring force is opposed by pressurized fuel from a pump (14), the pressure increasing with engine speed. A second spring loaded piston (49) moves the first piston (44) to an advanced position for starting the engine and is retracted when the fuel pressure reaches a certain value to subsequently retard the advance angle in an idling speed range. The fuel pressure moves the first piston (44) to progressively advance the angle in a higher speed range. An electromagnetic valve (62) is controlled to trap fuel and apply a hydraulic lock to the second piston (49) during starting of the engine to prevent retarding of the advance angle until the engine speed or coolant temperature reaches a predetermined value.

Fuel injection advance angle control apparatus

In a distributor type fuel injection pump including a load-responsive pressure adjusting device which is responsive to engine loads for allowing drainage of part of the fuel in the suction chamber of the pump into a zone under lower pressure in the pump when the engine is operated within a predetermined load range, a pressure setting valve is provided in a drainage passage forming part of the pressure adjusting device, which is adapted to open at a predetermined pressure. The pressure setting valve enables establishment of necessary fuel pressure for normal actuation of a fuel injection timing control device provided in the pump within a low engine speed (rpm) range even during operation of the pressure adjusting device.

Distributor type fuel injection pump

A start lever (56) and a tension lever (18) are rotatable about a pin (19). The tension lever (18) is connected to a fuel control sleeve (28) so that an amount of fuel pumped and injected into an engine depends on the position of the tension lever (18) and sleeve (28). Upon rotation of flyweights (13), a governor rod (52) is urged through a hole (54) in the start lever (52) toward the tension lever (18) against the force of a start spring (22). A flange (53) formed on the governor rod (52) abuts against the start lever (18) so that the force of the start spring (22) is transmitted to the flyweights (13). The end of governor rod (52) abuts against the tension lever (18) at a certain engine speed so that further movement of the governor rod (52) is opposed by a governor spring (26) connected to the tension lever (18).

Fuel injection pump

A fuel injection pump in which a relief channel is formed which communicates with the pump working chamber and is arranged to be blocked by a valve means, associated with a valve actuating means responsive to a pressure varying with engine r.p.m., during starting of the engine so that the fuel injection quantity is increased. Thus, improved starting characteristics of the engine can be obtained. Said relief channel may comprise a first channel communicating with the pump working chamber, and a second relief channel which has a portion thereof extending in the pump plunger to terminate in an outer periphery of the bottom end of said plunger and is so disposed as to communicate with the pump suction chamber after a predetermined delivery stroke length or prestroke has been executed. Communication between said first and second relief channels is adapted to be interrupted by said valve means at less than a predetermined engine r.p.m. As another advantagenous arrangement, the relief channel may comprise a first relief channel which consists of a port having one end communicating with the pump working chamber and the other end terminating in an outer periphery of the plunger and a communication channel having one end terminating in an inner periphery of the plunger barrel and the other end arranged for communication with a lower pressure zone, and a second relief channel allowing a restricted flow rate and communicating with the pump working chamber. The port and communication channel of said first relief channel are so disposed as to communicate with each other at the beginning of the delivery stroke of the plunger. Said first and second relief channels are arranged to be simultaneously blocked by said valve means during starting of the engine.

In a distribution type fuel injection system, the injection advance angle, or the relative angular position at which fuel injection begins, is controlled by a first spring loaded piston (44). The spring force is opposed by pressurized fuel from a pump (14), the pressure increasing with engine speed. A second spring loaded piston (49) moves the first piston (44) to an advanced position for starting the engine and is retracted when the fuel pressure reaches a certain value to retard the advance angle in an idling speed range. The fuel pressure moves the first piston (44) to progressively advance the angle in a higher speed range. An O-ring (61) is provided to an end of the second piston (49) which abuts against an end wall (53) so that the fluid pressure receiving area of the second piston (49) is small when the second piston (49) abuts against the end wall (53) but is greater when the second piston (49) is moved away from the end wall (53). The effect is that the second piston (49) is prevented from moving and retarding the advance angle until the engine speed and fuel pressure reach a relatively high value upon starting of the engine. Thereafter, the advance angle will be retarded upon a return of the engine speed to the idling range.

Said port and relief passage are so located as to register with each other at the beginning of the fuel delivery stroke of said plunger, and said relief passage is so arranged as to be permanently kept closed by a valve means which is actuated by a valve actuating means for actuating said valve means in response to a fuel supply pressure varying as a function of the engine rotational speed, except in a predetermined low engine speed range, to obtain a decreased injection rate during idling so as to increase the injection period, thereby reducing the rate of combustion of the engine to largely reduce the combustion noise.
