Publication number: 20140069391Abstract: A fuel injection controller has terminals which can be connected to the coil of the fuel injector. A first valve-open control portion supplies the valve-opening voltage to the terminals for opening the fuel injector. The first valve-open control portion stops supplying the electric supply to the coil before the fuel injector is positioned at a full-open position. Before the fuel injector is fully dosed, a small injection quantity can be obtained. A demagnetization portion forms a demagnetization circuit for demagnetizing the magnetism remaining in the coil. A normal-injection portion controls the fuel injector at full-open position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2013Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Toshio NISHIMURA, Takayoshi HONDA

Publication number: 20140069390Abstract: A fuel injection controller supplies a valve-opening voltage VF1 to a fuel injector. In order to obtain a small injection quantity, the controller terminates a supply of the valve-opening voltage before the fuel injector is fully opened. A bias-control portion supplies a bias voltage to the fuel injector instead of the valve-opening voltage. A valve-close detecting portion detects a valve-closing time by detecting an inflection point on a waveform of an electric current flowing through the coil. A correction-amount computing portion computes a correction amount based on the detected valve-closing time. A correction portion corrects an electric supply period based on the correction amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2013Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Toshio NISHIMURA, Takayoshi HONDA
