Fuel supply control device and fuel supply system
View Patent ↗Provided is a fuel supply control device that performs power supply control of a shut-off valve including a first valve body that is disposed at a fuel supply path ranging from a gaseous fuel tank to a regulator and is opened in advance during power supply, and a second valve body that is opened due to a decrease in a differential pressure between upstream and downstream after the first valve body is opened, and fuel injection control. The fuel supply control device includes a control unit that sets a delay time from an initiation time of power supply to the shut-off valve to an initiation time of fuel injection in correspondence with a first fuel pressure upstream of the shut-off valve and a second fuel pressure downstream of the regulator, and initiates fuel injection after the delay time has passed after the initiation of the power supply to the shut-off valve.

a control unit that sets a delay time from an initiation time of power supply to the shut-off valve to an initiation time of fuel injection in correspondence with a first fuel pressure upstream of the shut-off valve and a second fuel pressure downstream of the regulator, and initiates fuel injection after the delay time has passed after the initiation of the power supply to the shut-off valve.
2. The fuel supply control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control unit sets the delay time in correspondence with at least one of a battery voltage, a fuel temperature, and an intake air temperature, in addition to the first fuel pressure and the second fuel pressure.
3. A fuel supply control device that performs power supply control of a shut-off valve including a first valve body that is disposed at a fuel supply path ranging from a gaseous fuel tank to a regulator and is opened in advance during power supply, and a second valve body that is opened due to a decrease in a differential pressure between upstream and downstream after the first valve body is opened, and fuel injection control, the fuel supply control device comprising:
a control unit that initiates fuel injection after passage of a delay time that is set in advance based on a specified pressure upstream of the regulator and a specified pressure downstream of the regulator, in a case where a fuel pressure downstream of the regulator is greater than or equal to a predetermined pressure after the initiation of the power supply to the shut-off valve.
4. The fuel supply control device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the delay time is set in advance based on at least one of a battery voltage, a fuel temperature, and an intake air temperature, in addition to the specified pressure upstream of the regulator and the specified pressure downstream of the regulator.
5. A fuel supply system that is provided with a shut-off valve including a first valve body that is disposed at a fuel supply path ranging from a gaseous fuel tank to a regulator and is opened in advance during power supply, and a second valve body that is opened due to a decrease in a differential pressure between upstream and downstream after the first valve body is opened, the fuel supply system comprising:
a first pressure sensor that detects a fuel pressure upstream of the shut-off valve as a first fuel pressure;
a second pressure sensor that detects a fuel pressure downstream of the regulator as a second fuel pressure; and
a fuel supply control device that sets a delay time from an initiation time of power supply to the shut-off valve to an initiation time of fuel injection in correspondence with the first fuel pressure and the second fuel pressure, and initiates fuel injection after the delay time has passed after the initiation of the power supply to the shut-off valve.
