Patent number: 7353798Abstract: A low-pressure delivery pipe provided with intake manifold injectors, a fuel pressure regulator, a high-pressure fuel pump, a high-pressure delivery pipe provided with in-cylinder injectors, and an electromagnetic relief valve are connected in series at the downstream of a low-pressure fuel pump that discharges a fuel within a fuel tank at a prescribed pressure. Since the low-pressure delivery pipe is arranged downstream of the low-pressure fuel pump, the fuel pressure within the low-pressure delivery pipe is lowered upon stop of vehicle operation, in response to stop of the low-pressure fuel pump. The fuel pressure within the high-pressure delivery pipe is also lowered in response to stop of the low-pressure fuel pump, by opening the electromagnetic relief valve upon stop of vehicle operation. Thus, oil tightness of the injectors during the stop of vehicle operation is ensured.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuyuki Tokuda, Naoki Kurata, Katsuhiko Yamaguchi, Toshio Inoue, Naoto Suzuki, Mamoru Tomatsuri, Keiko Hasegawa, Keita Fukui

Patent number: 7281509Abstract: The start control procedure of the invention lags an open-close timing VVT of an intake valve, restricts a throttle opening TH of a throttle valve, and starts cranking an engine with a lower torque Tlow. When a pressure Pf of a fuel supplied to in-cylinder fuel injection valves reaches or exceeds a preset reference value, which is greater than a sum of an in-cylinder compression pressure Pin and a closed valve position-retaining pressure Pcv of the in-cylinder fuel injection valves, the start control procedure cranks the engine with a standard cranking torque Tset. The start control procedure then starts advance of the open-close timing VVT of the intake valve, cancels the restriction of the throttle opening TH, and starts fuel injection from the in-cylinder fuel injection valves.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2005Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Keita Fukui, Keiko Hasegawa, Mamoru Tomatsuri, Naoto Suzuki, Toshio Inoue, Katsuhiko Yamaguchi

Publication number: 20060260853Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle of the invention, the control procedure corrects an idling intake air flow Qidl to enable an engine immediately after its start to generate an output power Pe that is substantially equivalent to an engine power demand Pe*. After the correction, the control procedure controls the engine to have an intake air flow Qe with reflection of an intake air flow correction value Qec and controls a motor MG1 to generate electric power by using the output power Pe of the engine and to charge a battery with the generated electric power within an input limit Win of the battery. The control of the invention ensures that the output power Pe of the engine does not exceed the engine power demand Pe* in restriction of the charge level of the battery. This arrangement effectively prevents the state of charge SOC of the battery, which is charged with the electric power generated by the motor MG1, from exceeding the input limit Win.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Daigo Ando, Toshio Inoue, Tsukasa Abe, Naoto Suzuki, Yukio Kobayashi, Osamu Harada

Patent number: 7032580Abstract: When fuel vapor flows to an intake passage from a canister, the amount of fuel injected to an internal combustion engine is corrected to suppress fluctuation of the air-fuel ratio in the engine due to the fuel vapor. An EGR mechanism variably sets the EGR rate. When the pressure in a fuel tank is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, a tank sealing system releases gas containing fuel vapor from the fuel tank to the canister on condition that fuel vapor is flowing to the intake passage from the canister. A controller controls the EGR mechanism to reduce the EGR rate when gas is released from the fuel tank to the canister. Therefore, combustion is stabilized even if EGR is executed when gas in the fuel tank is released.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2005Date of Patent: April 25, 2006Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Naoto Suzuki
