Abstract

Provided is a fuel injection device and a control unit therefor which enable reliable ignition even in a case where fuel pressure is low immediately after starting an engine. In the control unit for controlling an injector injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine, a plurality of injectors is provided in the internal combustion engine, a static flow rate of a first injector is configured to be smaller than a static flow rate of a second injector. In a case where a fuel pressure of fuel supplied by a pressurizing unit is lower than a set value set lower than a fuel pressure in warming up, an injection ratio of the first injector is controlled to increase according to a difference between a fuel pressure of fuel from the pressurizing unit and a fuel pressure in warming up.

Claims (7)

1. A controller configured to control an injector injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine, wherein a plurality of injectors is provided in the internal combustion engine, and wherein a static flow rate of a first injector of the plurality of injectors is smaller than a static flow rate of a second injector of the plurality of injectors, the controller configured to:

when a fuel pressure of fuel supplied by a pressurizing unit is determined to be lower than a set value, the set value being lower than a fuel pressure during warm-up of the internal combustion engine, control an injection ratio of the first injector to increase according to a difference between a fuel pressure from the pressurizing unit and a fuel pressure during warm-up of the internal combustion engine,

wherein the controller is configured to, when the fuel pressure is less than a threshold value, control the injection ratio of the first injector to increase by an amount, and control the injection ratio of the second injector to decrease by the amount.

2. A controller configured to control an injector injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine,

wherein a plurality of injectors is provided in the internal combustion engine,

an average particle diameter of fuel droplets ejected from a first injector of the plurality of injectors is smaller than an average particle diameter of fuel droplets ejected from a second injector of the plurality of injectors, the controller configured to:

when a fuel pressure of fuel supplied by a pressurizing unit is determined to be lower than a set value, the set value being lower than a fuel pressure during warm-up of the internal combustion engine, control an injection ratio of the first injector to increase according to a difference between a fuel pressure from the pressurizing unit and a fuel pressure during warm-up of the internal combustion engine.
