Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the starting property of an engine by providing a suction heating heater on the downstream side of a suction control valve for heating the suction heating heater prior to the starting of the engine to heat the air inside a suction passage. CONSTITUTION:When an engine key is inserted into a key hole prior to the starting of a Diesel engine, current is supplied to a suction heating heater 9 to generate heat. Since an accelerator pedal is not stepped on a this stage usually, a suction control valve 6 is at a completely closed position, and therefore the air in a closed space between it and a suction valve of the Diesel engine 1 is efficiently heated by the suction heating heater 9. When the Diesel engine 1 is started, the air heated in the space is introduced into a combustion chamber of the engine in accordance with the opening of the suction valve. When liquid fuel is injected from a fuel injection valve into the combustion chamber of the engine containing this heated air, fuel can be smoothly ignited.

When starting a diesel engine when it is cold, the intake air temperature may not rise to a temperature that will cause the fuel to self-ignite due to intake air compression alone, and for this reason, many diesel engines are equipped with glow plugs. This heats the fuel in the engine combustion chamber to promote its vaporization and improve engine startability.

According to the present invention, an intake control valve that opens depending on the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is provided in the middle of the intake passage, and a heater for heating the intake air is provided downstream of the intake control valve, so that the engine can be started. Prior to this, the intake control valve generates heat to heat the air in the intake passage downstream of the intake control valve, and when the engine starts, this heated air is supplied to the engine combustion chamber to improve engine startability. This is achieved by a method for improving startability of an internal combustion engine.

Before starting the engine, the accelerator pedal is usually not depressed, so the intake control valve is in the closed position, and at this time, the intake air heater generates heat, which causes a gap between the intake control valve and the engine's intake valve. The air remaining in the intake passage is heated, and when the engine is started, the intake valve opens, and this heated air reaches l! In a diesel engine, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of the engine which takes in the heated air, thereby allowing the engine to start smoothly.

When the engine key is inserted into the keyhole prior to starting the diesel engine 1, the relay switch 11 closes to energize the intake air heating heater 9, which generates heat. At this time, the 5-accelerator pedal is usually not depressed, so the intake control valve 6
is in the fully closed position, so that a substantially closed intake passage space is defined between the intake control valve 9 and the intake valve of the diesel engine 1, and the air in this space is transferred to the intake air heating heater 9.
It is heated more efficiently. Then, when the starter operates to start the diesel engine 1, the air heated in the space as the intake valve opens enters the engine combustion chamber, and the engine combustion containing this heated air By injecting liquid fuel into the room from the fuel injection valve, the fuel is ignited well, and the diesel engine pA1 is started quickly and smoothly. Note that the accelerator pedal may be depressed when the star is activated, but since the intake control valve 6 has a notch 8, air will flow through the notch 8 even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed at this time. As a result, the diesel engine 1 is started.
