Apparatus and method for injecting fuel into engine according to group injection system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5897309

This patent describes an apparatus for controlling fuel injection, for an internal combustion engine, comprising: (a) a rotational angle sensor for generating a pulse signal synchronized with the rotation of the engine; (b) a cylinder-determining sensor for producing a pulse signal indicative of a reference rotational angle of the engine; (c) an airflow meter for producing an output signal indicative of intake airflow sucked into the engine; (d) a flip-flop responsive to the pulse signal synchronized with engine rotation for frequency dividing the same; (e) a charge-discharge circuit arranged to start charging in response to an output signal from the flip-flop; (f) computing means responsive to the basic injection pulses for generating plural groups of final injection pulse signals to be respectively fed to respective groups of fuel injectors of the engine; (g) means for causing the flip-flop to produce the output signal which is shifted with respect to the output signal produce before receiving the control signal so that charging and discharging operation of the charge-discharge circuit is shifted accordingly.
