Abstract

An engine speed control device performing: a first PID gain calculation step of calculating a target engine speed to thereby calculate a first PID gain based on an engine speed deviation between the target engine speed and an engine speed; a target rack position calculation step of correcting the first PID gain based on a cooling water temperature to thereby calculate a target rack position of a fuel injection pump; a second PID gain calculation step of calculating a second PID gain based on a rack position deviation between the target rack position and a rack position; and a rack control signal producing step of correcting the second PID gain based on a lubricating oil temperature to thereby produce a rack control signal. The engine speed control device thus controls an engine speed by controlling the rack position based on the rack control signal.

Claims (14)

1. An engine speed control device for an engine, the engine speed control device at least comprising:

an engine speed detecting means configured to detect an engine speed of the engine;

a cooling water temperature detecting means configured to detect a temperature of a cooling water of the engine;

a rack position detecting means configured to detect a rack position of a fuel injection pump; and

a lubricating oil temperature detecting means configured to detect a lubricating oil temperature of the engine, wherein:

the engine speed control device is configured to perform:

a first PID gain calculation step of calculating a target engine speed to calculate a first PID gain based on an engine speed deviation between the target engine speed and an engine speed detected by the engine speed detecting means,

a target rack position calculation step of correcting the first PID gain using a cooling water temperature correction factor based on a cooling water temperature detected by the cooling water temperature detecting means to thereby calculate a target rack position of the fuel injection pump,

a second PID gain calculation step of calculating a second PID gain based on a rack position deviation between the target rack position and a rack position detected by the rack position detecting means, and

a rack control signal producing step of correcting the second PID gain using a lubricating oil temperature correction factor based on a lubricating oil temperature detected by the lubricating oil temperature detecting means to thereby produce a rack control signal;

the engine speed control device is further configured to control the engine speed by controlling the rack position based on the rack control signal;

the cooling water temperature correction factor applied to correction of the first PID gain is prevented from being applied to correction of the second PID gain; and

the lubricating oil temperature correction factor applied to correction of the second PID gain is prevented from being applied to correction of the first PID gain.

2. The engine speed control device according to claim 1 , wherein the lubricating oil temperature detecting means is disposed in a fuel injection pump and is configured to detect a lubricating oil temperature of the fuel injection pump.
