2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional pressure-accumulation fuel injection device, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-258160, an injector injects fuel, and a variable discharge amount corresponding to the consumption of the fuel. There is a control system that replenishes the common rail with a system control pump. First, a schematic structure of the conventional pressure-accumulation fuel injection device will be described with reference to FIG. An injector 52 is arranged in the fuel chamber of each cylinder in the engine 51, and fuel is injected from the injector 52 to the engine 51 by an injection control solenoid valve 53.
It is controlled by turning on and off. The injector 52 is connected to a high pressure accumulator pipe common to all cylinders, a so-called common rail 54, and fuel in the common rail 54 is injected from the injector 52 to the engine 51 while the injection control solenoid valve 53 is open. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously accumulate a high predetermined pressure corresponding to the fuel injection pressure in the common rail 54, and for this purpose, the high pressure supply pump 57 is connected via the supply pipe 55 and the check valve 56. The high-pressure supply pump 57 boosts the fuel sucked from the fuel tank 58 through the well-known low-pressure supply pump 59 to a predetermined high pressure required by the system, and controls and maintains the high pressure. Then, in order to maintain and control the pressure of the common rail 54 at a high predetermined pressure, the following roughly two methods are recalled. (1) A pump with a sufficient discharge amount always sends a fixed amount into the common rail, and an excess amount of fuel sent more than necessary to maintain a predetermined pressure is let out from the relief valve. (2) The amount of fuel required to keep the common rail pressure constant is always sent into the common rail. That is, the pump is provided with a pump discharge amount control device that can be controlled from the outside according to conditions. Of the two alternatives (1) and (2), the latter alternative (2) is clearly superior in terms of driving torque loss of the supply pump.
Therefore, the pump 57 is provided with a pump discharge amount control device 60 having an overflow solenoid valve in order to constantly control and maintain the common rail pressure at a predetermined pressure. The electronic control unit ECU 61 that controls this system is supplied with information on the rotational speed and the load from, for example, an engine speed sensor 62 and a load sensor 63, and is optimally determined according to the engine state judged from these signals. The ECU 61 outputs a control signal to the injection control electromagnetic valve 53 so that the injection timing and injection amount (= injection period) of At the same time, the ECU 61 outputs a control signal to the pump discharge amount control device 60 so that the injection pressure becomes the optimum value according to the load and the rotation speed. Furthermore, more preferably, a pressure sensor 64 for detecting the common rail pressure is arranged on the common rail 54, and the discharge amount is controlled so that the signal of the sensor 64 becomes an optimum value set in advance according to the load and the number of revolutions. That is, if pressure negative feedback control is performed, more precise pressure setting is possible. FIG. 4 shows the concept of common rail pressure control described above in a time chart. FIG.
In, for example, of the fuel in the common rail accumulated at a pressure of 100 MPa, a constant amount hatched (fuel consumed for injection amount and hydraulic servo control of nozzles, etc.) is generated every time a control pulse to the injector 52 is generated. Amount is consumed). Compensating for this, always constant 100MP
In order to maintain the common rail pressure at the a level, the high pressure supply pump 57 discharges only the necessary amount (hatched portion) corresponding to the consumption amount into the common rail 54. Since the required amount naturally changes according to the injection amount and the rotation speed, the discharge amount control device 60 exerts its effect. For example, when the injection amount is extremely small, the ejection amount may be small, and conversely, at the maximum injection amount, a large ejection amount commensurate with it is required. Further, as described above, the pressure in the common rail 54 is constantly monitored by the pressure sensor 64, and the discharge amount is controlled every time so that the pressure level becomes a predetermined value determined in advance according to the load and the rotation speed of the engine. If this is the case, more accurate pressure control is possible. In order to supply, maintain, and control such a high pressure, it is advantageous to replenish the fuel in each operating cycle of the injector, that is, every injection, in synchronism with the cycle. It is preferable to use an intermittent reciprocating jerk pump that pumps fuel for the number of combustions of the engine, as in the case of the conventional row injection pump.

As in the conventional pressure-accumulation type fuel injection device described above, the so-called injector injects fuel, and the common rail is replenished to the common rail by the variable discharge control pump by the consumed amount. In this control method, when the engine shifts from a light load operation (low pressure) to a high load operation (high pressure), the discharge amount of the high pressure supply pump 57 is increased so as to meet the required amount (FIG. 4). Since the shaded area in FIG. 4) is always supplied into the common rail 54, it is possible to cope with this. However,
On the contrary, when the accelerator opening is set to 0 (zero) during the high load operation (high pressure) of the engine and the speed is rapidly decelerated, even if the fuel supply from the high pressure supply pump 57 is stopped, the pressure in the common rail 54 is reduced. Is only slightly lowered by a slight fuel leak and is still maintained at high pressure. Then, when the accelerator is depressed and light load operation (low pressure) is attempted, the common rail 5
Since the actual pressure in 4 is much higher than the command value (target pressure),
Problems such as acceleration shock, worse emission, and increased noise will occur.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the means described in claims 1 and 2 can be adopted.
According to this means, during high load operation of the engine,
When the engine opening degree is set to 0 (zero) and the engine is rapidly decelerated, the solenoid valve receives the drive signal output from the ECU and opens, and the high-pressure fuel from the first pressure accumulator enters the second pressure accumulator. Therefore, the actual injection pressure in the first pressure accumulating chamber is rapidly reduced and maintained at the command injection pressure. Then, at the start of the light load operation of the engine, the actual injection pressure in the first pressure accumulating chamber is maintained following the command injection pressure. Therefore, the engine is controlled by the injection pressure calculated by the ECU. Therefore, problems such as acceleration shock, deterioration of emission, and increase of noise can be solved.

Further, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a third aspect of the present invention is provided.
The means of can be adopted. According to this means, when the pressure in the second pressure accumulation chamber is adjusted to the minimum injection pressure by the pressure adjustment means, the pressure of the high-pressure fuel introduced from the first pressure accumulation chamber to the second pressure accumulation chamber via the solenoid valve is Since the fuel pressure drops to the minimum injection pressure in the second pressure accumulating chamber and is then discharged to the tank, the fuel pressure drop is from the minimum injection pressure to the atmospheric pressure, which is higher than that of the conventional device in which the pressure adjusting means is not installed. Then, the pressure difference is small, and the generation of heat due to the pressure difference can be suppressed to a relatively small amount. Therefore, the temperature rise in the tank can be suppressed low. Further, even if the solenoid valve malfunctions and remains open, the device of the present invention can maintain at least the minimum injection pressure by the pressure regulating valve.
It is possible to avoid sudden inoperability of the entire device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a fuel injection system in which an embodiment of the pressure-accumulation fuel injection device of the present invention is applied to a 4-cylinder engine. Fuel is supplied from the fuel tank 1 to the high-pressure pump 3 by the low-pressure pump 2, and the high-pressure pump 3 is
A high pressure fuel is pressure-fed by a command from a CU (electronic control unit) 4 and a first pressure accumulating chamber (hereinafter, referred to as "common rail").
Supply to 5. The high-pressure supply pump 3 boosts the fuel sucked from the fuel tank 1 through the low-pressure supply pump 2 to a predetermined high pressure required by the device, and controls and maintains the fuel at the predetermined high pressure. An injector 7 is arranged on the common rail 5 in correspondence with each cylinder of the engine 6, and the injector 7 injects high-pressure fuel into the cylinder of the engine 6 in response to a command from the ECU 4. A pressure sensor 8 is arranged on the common rail 5, and the pressure sensor 8
Monitors the common rail pressure and feeds back the pressure under each operating condition to the ECU 4. Then, the high-pressure fuel from the common rail 5 is introduced into the second pressure accumulating chamber (hereinafter referred to as “sub-common rail”) 10 via the solenoid valve 9, and the pressure of the sub-common rail 10 is adjusted by the pressure adjusting means. 11 sets an arbitrary pressure, for example, the minimum injection pressure of each engine, approximately 12 MPa. The pressure adjusting means 11 is preferably a mechanical regulator or a solenoid valve, for example. The solenoid valve 9 is normally closed, and the common rail 5 and the sub-common rail 10 are shut off from each other.

Now, the pressure adjusting means 11 which is one of the features of the configuration of the present invention installed on the sub-common rail 10 will be described. For example, considering a system in which the pressure adjusting means 11 is not installed, the high-pressure fuel introduced from the common rail 5 to the sub-common rail 10 via the solenoid valve 9 is directly discharged to the tank 1, and the pressure of the high-pressure fuel is atmospheric pressure. When it rapidly drops to 0, the fuel produces a large amount of heat due to the pressure difference, thus causing the temperature in the tank 1 to rise. When the solenoid valve 9 malfunctions and remains open, the common rail 5 remains in communication with the tank 1, that is, the common rail 5 remains in communication with the atmosphere. It becomes impossible to increase the pressure inside 5, and the entire system becomes inoperable. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the pressure adjusting means 11 is installed on the sub-common rail 10 so as not to directly communicate with the atmosphere from the common rail 5 via the solenoid valve 9, and an arbitrary pressure, for example, the minimum of each engine. The fuel is returned to the tank 1 via the sub-common rail 10 whose injection pressure is set to about 12 MPa. With such a configuration, even if the solenoid valve 9 malfunctions, the present fuel injection device can maintain at least the minimum injection pressure.
It is possible to avoid sudden inoperability of the entire device. Further, since the high-pressure fuel is not directly depressurized to the atmospheric pressure, heat generation caused by the pressure difference can be suppressed to be smaller than that of the device in which the sub-common rail is not set.

The ECU 4 has an engine speed sensor (not shown) and an accelerator opening sensor (not shown).
The engine speed and accelerator opening signal are input by
The ECU 4 outputs a control signal to the injector 7 so that the optimum injection timing and injection amount determined by the engine state determined by these signals are obtained. At the same time, the ECU 4
Is the high pressure pump 3 based on the output signal from the pressure sensor 8.
A drive signal is output to the fuel to boost the fuel to a predetermined high pressure required by the device, and the common rail 5 is controlled and maintained at the predetermined high pressure. Further, the ECU 4 sets the accelerator opening degree to 0 (zero) during high load operation (high pressure) of the engine.
When a sudden deceleration is performed, a drive signal is output to the solenoid valve 9. Then, the electromagnetic valve 9 is opened to discharge the high-pressure fuel from the common rail 5 to the sub-common rail 10, thereby reducing the pressure in the common rail 5 to the actual injection pressure.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a time chart in which the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents common rail pressure, accelerator opening, solenoid valve signal, and high-pressure pump fuel supply amount. Up to time t 1 , the engine operates under high load (high pressure). Conduct, time t 1
With the accelerator opening set to 0 (zero), a sudden deceleration operation (low pressure)
The conducted, showing a state in which start a light load operation (low pressure) from the time t 2. In the figure, at time t 1 , the accelerator opening is set to 0 (zero), the engine is rapidly decelerated (low pressure), the operation of the high pressure pump 3 is stopped by the output signal of the ECU 4, and the supply of high pressure fuel to the common rail 5 is stopped. However, since the conventional common rail pressure indicated by the alternate long and short dash line does not have a high-pressure escape area and the pressure drops only by a slight fuel leak, even at the light load operation start time t 2 , The injection pressure is significantly higher than the command injection pressure (dotted line). With such a conventional common rail pressure, acceleration shock, deterioration of emission, and increase of noise cannot be avoided at the start of light load operation.

However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the solenoid valve 9 is output from the ECU 4 during the high load operation (high pressure) of the engine and during the rapid deceleration of the engine when the accelerator opening is 0 (zero). Since the high-pressure fuel is discharged from the common rail 5 to the sub-common rail 10 by receiving the drive signal and opening the valve, the actual injection pressure (solid line) in the common rail 5 rapidly decreases to the command injection pressure.
Then, next, at the time t 2 of starting the light load operation of the engine, the actual injection pressure is maintained following the command injection pressure, so that the engine 6 is controlled by the injection pressure calculated by the ECU 4. It is possible to solve all the problems of the conventional device such as acceleration shock, deterioration of emission, and increase of noise. In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the solenoid valve 9 is normally closed and the connection between the common rail 5 and the sub-common rail 10 is cut off. The same operation as can be performed.
