  • the current direction control process is temporarily performed, and at that time, when the integral correction value (current value) has been constant for a predetermined period or longer, the learned value is updated by using the integral correction value at that time (current value).
  • FIG. 1(a) shows a status upon starting of the engine 1 where a learned value is not stored and the supply pump 4 is in the variation low limit side status.
  • the figure shows a time series variation of the starter switch (in the figure, starter SW) ON-OFF, the rail pressure (in the figure, the target pressure is indicated with an alternate long and short dash line, and the actual pressure, with a solid line), the number of engine revolutions, the integral correction value in the current direction control (in the figure, current F/B integral value), the integral correction value in the discharge amount direction control (in the figure, fuel amount F/B integral value), and the driving current value for the inlet amount control valve 14 (in the figure, inlet amount control valve energization current).
  • the proportional correction term (not shown) and the integral correction term vary to the side to increase the pump discharge amount (see a1 in the figure) and the actual rail pressure is increased to the target rail pressure.
  • the integral correction value (current value) to increase the pump discharge amount during starting is held after starting the engine 1 (see a3 in the figure).
  • the inconvenience of reduction of actual rail pressure does not occur nor does the inconvenience of the engine 1 stopping due to a shortage of actual rail pressure immediately after starting the engine 1.
  • the common rail fuel injection apparatus of the present embodiment when a learned value is not stored in the storage means of the ECU 5 immediately after production of vehicle or by maintenance or the like, the inconvenience of the engine 1 stopping does not occur immediately after starting the engine 1, even when the pump discharge amount is on the variation low limit side.
  • the integral correction value is temporarily reset to zero and the actual rail pressure greatly overshoots the target rail pressure immediately after starting of the engine 1.
  • providing a pressure reduction valve in the common rail 2 can reduce this overshoot.
  • omission of the pressure reduction valve is required for the sake of cost reduction, though the overshoot immediately after starting of the engine 1 cannot be suppressed without the pressure reduction valve. Upon the occurrence of such an overshoot, combustion noise might become worse, or in some cases, the engine 1 might stop.
  • the integral correction value during starting (value on the side to reduce the discharge amount) is not reset immediately after starting but is held and therefore, any overshoot immediately after starting the engine can be suppressed.
  • the inconveniences of increased combustion noise and engine stoppage due to an overshoot of the common rail pressure can be suppressed.
  • FIG. 7(a) shows a variation of the integral correction value (current value: current F/B integral value in the figure) upon starting and immediately after starting the engine and the integral correction value (pump discharge amount: fuel amount F/B integral value in the figure) in the conventional art.
  • FIG. 7(b) shows a variation of the integral correction value (current value: current F/B integral value in the figure) upon starting and immediately after starting the engine and the integral correction value (pump discharge amount: fuel amount F/B integral value in the figure) in the first embodiment described above.
  • FIG. 7(c) shows a variation of the integral correction value (current value: current F/B integral value in the figure) upon starting and immediately after starting the engine and the integral correction value (pump discharge amount: fuel amount F/B integral value in the figure) of the second embodiment.
  • the integral correction value (current value) is held.
  • any ratio may be used as long as an actual rail pressure not to stop running of the engine 1 can be maintained.
  • an appropriate ratio such as 50% or 70% of the integral correction value (current value) upon completion of starting may be set in correspondence with e.g. the range of variation of the supply pump 4.
  • the inlet amount control valve 14 is a normally closed-type valve in which the opening becomes a full closed state in the absence of energization to the solenoid 24.
  • a normally opened-type valve in which the opening becomes a full open state upon the absence of energization to the solenoid 24 may be employed as the inlet amount control valve 14.
  • increase/decrease control of the driving current value for the solenoid 24 is performed in an inversed manner to that described in the above embodiments.
  • a common rail fuel injection apparatus includes a common rail (2), an injector (3), a supply pump (4), an inlet amount control valve (14), feedback control means, correction means, storage means, and a control device (5).
  • the common rail (2) accumulates high-pressure fuel.
  • the injector (3) injects the high-pressure fuel.
  • the supply pump (4) sucks and pressurizes fuel to be supplied to the common rail (2).
  • the inlet amount control valve (14) controls a flow amount of fuel sucked into the supply pump (4).
  • the feedback control means obtains a proportional correction value and an integral correction value based on a pressure difference ( ⁇ PC) between a target rail pressure and an actual rail pressure of the common rail (2) and obtains a driving current value or a pump discharge amount of the supply pump (4).
  • ⁇ PC pressure difference
  • the correction means obtains a correction value to correct a variation of the pump discharge amount.
  • the storage means stores the correction value obtained by the correction means as a learned value when a condition has been satisfied.
  • the control device corrects the driving current value or the pump discharge amount based on the learned value stored in the storage means.
