Abstract

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 P 2 . 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.

Claims (10)

1. A fuel injection device of a diesel engine comprising:

a fuel amount control means including a rack which is operable between a lowest rack position for injecting a minimum fuel amount and a starting increased fuel amount position for increasing an injected fuel amount when starting the engine,

wherein an operation of the rack of the fuel amount increasing means from the lowest rack position to the starting increased fuel amount position includes an operating speed range in which the operating speed of the rack is slower than a maximum operating speed of the rack.

2. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of target rack positions are set one after another by steps to correspond to respective elapsed times since starting of said operation of the rack so as to change a position of the rack according to an elapse of time since starting of said operation of the rack.

3. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , further comprising an ignition recognizing means for recognizing an ignition of the engine in starting the engine, wherein during said operation of the rack of the fuel amount control means from the lowest rack position to the starting increased fuel amount position, movement of the rack per unit time is reduced after the ignition recognizing means recognizes the ignition of the engine.

4. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the rack is operated to the starting increased fuel amount position at the maximum operating speed thereof after an elapse a predetermined time.

5. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the operating speed of the rack is changed according to a temperature of the engine when starting the engine.

6. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of the rack of the fuel amount control means from the lowest rack position to the starting increased fuel amount position is performed during cranking of the engine with a starter.

7. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of the rack of the fuel amount control means from the lowest rack position to the starting increased fuel amount position is two-stepped with respect to the operating speed so that the operating speed of the rack after reaching an intermediate rack target position is slower than the operating speed of the rack until reaching the target intermediate rack position.

8. The fuel injection device of the diesel engine according to claim 7 , wherein a set intermediate rack target position is changed according to a temperature of the engine when starting the engine.
