Abstract
A fuel injection device of a diesel engine which stops fuel injection and throttles intake air during engine braking so that engine vibration, noise, harmful exhaust gas, and fuel consumption are all reduced. The device includes an intake valve interlocked with an accelerator to throttle intake air during accelerator nonoperation, sensors for detecting an engine braking condition, and a computer for controlling fuel injection in response to signals from engine sensors.
Claims3
A fuel injection device of a diesel engine comprising;
- a fuel injection nozzle;
- a fuel injection pump;
- a control means for the fuel injection pump;
- and
- an intake air throttling valve interlocked with an accelerator so as to throttle the intake air during accelerator nonoperation;
- characterized in that there are provided:
- a means for detecting engine braking and
- a means for controlling fuel injection by signals from said detecting means, so that fuel injection is interrupted during engine braking where the accelerator does not operate and vehicle speed and engine speed exceed a predetermined speed.
