Abstract

This detector includes: a filtering unit performing a first filtering process of performing a filtering process on a first waveform or a second filtering process of performing a filtering process on a second waveform; a detection unit detecting a timing of a first peak value corresponding to a predetermined peak value of a third waveform; a correction unit which corrects a deviation of a detection value corresponding to a timing detected by the detection unit with respect to a timing when the fuel injection valve is actually opened or closed based on a difference between the first peak value of the third waveform and a second peak value of the third waveform appearing after the first peak value; and a detecting unit which detects one or both of the opening and closing of the fuel injection valve based on the detection value corrected by the correction unit.

Claims (19)

1. A detector that detects one or both of an opening and a closing of a fuel injection valve having a solenoid coil, comprising:

a filtering unit which performs a first filtering process of performing a filtering process on a first waveform or a second filtering process of performing a filtering process on a second waveform corresponding to a differential waveform of the first waveform, the first waveform corresponding to a first voltage waveform generated in the solenoid coil or a second voltage waveform obtained based on the first voltage waveform;

a detection unit which detects a timing of a first peak value corresponding to a predetermined peak value of a third waveform when the differential waveform of the first waveform or the second waveform is the third waveform;

a correction unit which corrects a deviation of a detection value corresponding to the timing detected by the detection unit with respect to a timing when the fuel injection valve is actually opened or closed based on a difference between the first peak value of the third waveform and a second peak value of the third waveform appearing after the first peak value; and

a detecting unit which detects one or both of the opening and the closing of the fuel injection valve based on the detection value corrected by the correction unit.

2. The detector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the correction unit corrects the deviation based on the difference between the first peak value corresponding to an upward peak value of the third waveform and the second peak value corresponding to a downward peak value first appearing after the first peak value in the third waveform.

3. The detector according to claim 2 ,

wherein the correction unit corrects the detection value based on the difference so that the detection value corresponding to the timing detected by the detection unit matches the timing when the fuel injection valve is actually opened or closed.

4. The detector according to claim 3 ,

wherein the filtering unit is a finite impulse response filter.

5. The detector according to claim 2 ,

wherein the filtering unit is a finite impulse response filter.

6. The detector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the correction unit corrects the detection value based on the difference so that the detection value corresponding to the timing detected by the detection unit matches the timing when the fuel injection valve is actually opened or closed.

7. The detector according to claim 6 ,

wherein the filtering unit is a finite impulse response filter.

8. The detector according to claim 1 ,

wherein the filtering unit is a finite impulse response filter.
