  • Publication number: 20240011449
    Abstract: Provided is an injector control device which is capable of setting a preceding injection amount to a fuel injection amount that is less than a main injection amount, while suppressing situations where preceding injections executed prior to a main injection in multi-stage injection are eliminated. An injector control device 2 includes: an injection amount setting unit 211 that sets, as a total injection amount, a total of fuel injection amounts in multi-stage injection in a single cycle, and sets, as a preceding injection amount, a fuel injection amount in a preceding injection executed prior to a main injection in the multi-stage injection; an energization period setting unit 212 that sets an energization period of an injector 31 based on the fuel injection amounts set by the injection amount setting unit 211; and an injector driving unit 213 that controls driving of the injector 31 based on the energization period set by the energization period setting unit 212.

  • Patent number: 11781501
    Abstract: To provide an engine head structure for “omission or shortening a fuel pipe that withstands a high pressure”, “simplification or omission of a support bracket for a fuel accumulator and/or a fuel injection device”, “reduction of the number of parts” by devising a fuel accumulator and a support structure therefor, and the like. An engine head structure has a support bracket for mounting a fuel accumulator including a joining portion with a fuel injection device on a cylinder head, is disposed on a side of the fuel injection device or between adjacent fuel injection devices. The support bracket includes a member having a mounting portion on which the fuel accumulator is placed and mounted, a mounting leg portion extending from the mounting portion and mounted on the cylinder head, and an aligning leg portion extending from the mounting portion for positioning the support bracket with respect to the cylinder head.

  • Patent number: 11261780
    Abstract: There is provided an engine equipped with a supercharger that suppresses heat deterioration of engine oil. The engine equipped with a supercharger includes a supercharger; an oil supply passage that supplies engine oil to a shaft bearing part of the supercharger; an oil discharge passage that discharges the engine oil from the shaft bearing part of the supercharger; and a water-cooling-type oil cooler. The water-cooling-type oil cooler is provided in the oil discharge passage, and the engine oil discharged from the shaft bearing part of the supercharger is cooled by the engine cooling water that passes the water-cooling-type oil cooler. The engine cooling water is desirably supplied from the cylinder jacket to the water-cooling-type oil cooler.
