Patent number: 11441491Abstract: Provided is a fuel injection device for engines, configured using a technique which can extend service life while good responsiveness is maintained. This fuel injection device for engines is provided with: a control rack supported so as to be slidable in an axial direction and configured so that the amount of fuel delivered under pressure by a fuel pumping mechanism can be adjusted by changing the sliding position of the control rack in the axial direction; an actuator which can move forward and backward an operation section; and a link lever which is supported in a rockable manner by a support shaft and which rocks as the operation section of the actuator moves forward and backward, thereby sliding the control rack. The fuel injection device for engines is further provided with an actuator-side connection section for connecting the operation section of the actuator to the link lever. The actuator-side connection section is disposed coaxially with the operation section of the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Yanmar Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isao Takagishi, Masaki Nanko, Ryota Iwano, Hiroyuki Machiyama, Kenichi Nakaguchi, Yusei Fukuda

Patent number: 11041448Abstract: A technology that can extend the life of a fuel injection device of an engine while maintaining its good responsiveness is provided. A fuel injection device 100 for an engine includes: a control rack 55 supported to be slidable in an axial direction and capable of adjusting of a fuel pressure-feed amount of a fuel pressure-feed mechanism unit 51, based on its slide-position relative to the axial direction; an actuator 40 capable of reciprocating its operating unit 41; and a link lever 20 swingably supported by a pivot shaft member 25 and configured to swing in association with reciprocation of the operating unit 41 of the actuator 40 thereby causing the control rack 55 to slide, wherein the fuel injection device includes an actuator-side connecting part 20A connecting an operating unit 41 of the actuator 40 to the link lever 20, and the actuator-side connecting part 20A is positioned on the same axis as the operating unit 41 of the actuator 40.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isao Takagishi, Masaki Nanko, Ryota Iwano, Hiroyuki Machiyama, Kenichi Nakaguchi, Yusei Fukuda

Patent number: 10557437Abstract: A fuel injection pump (100) provided in a diesel engine, including: an electromagnetic spill valve (20) configured to adjust a fuel injection amount by releasing a pressurized fuel with opening/closing of a spill valve body (23); and an ECU (Engine Control Unit, 50) configured to form a current waveform of drive current of the electromagnetic spill valve (20). The ECU (50), during the warm state, detects a valve-close timing of the electromagnetic spill valve (20), forms an optimum current waveform of drive current based on the detected valve-close timing, and applies drive current with thus formed optimum current waveform to the electromagnetic spill valve (20), whereas, during the cold state, the ECU (50) applies only drive current with a pre-set current waveform to the electromagnetic spill valve (20).Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: YANMAR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryota Iwano, Satoshi Hiroya, Hiroyuki Machiyama, Kosuke Hara, Ryosuke Okamoto

Patent number: 7689346Abstract: A fuel injection device of a diesel engine capable of smoothly starting the diesel engine to match an environment around the engine by saving fuel, reducing the exhaustion of carbon dioxide, and suppressing black smoke in starting the diesel engine. A rack is operated by an actuator from a lowest rack position to a starting increased fuel amount position at a lower speed than that at which the rack is operated by the actuator from the lowest rack position to the starting increased fuel amount position at the maximum operating speed. The operating speed of the rack is set in two stages, and the later operating speed of the rack is reduced less than the operating speed of the rack up to a set intermediate rack target value P2. Then, the operating amount of the rack per hour is reduced after the ignition of the engine is recognized. Also, the operating speed of the rack is controlled according to an atmospheric temperature in starting the engine.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2006Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Yanmar Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Machiyama, Nobuyoshi Fukae, Shigeki Tada, Hideo Shiomi
