- the conventional fuel supply system abnormality detection device using the above-described fuel pressure sensor has a problem that the cost of the abnormality detection device is increased because the fuel pressure sensor is expensive.
- the present invention provides a low-cost abnormality detection device for a fuel supply system that can reliably detect abnormality in the fuel pressure switching operation in a fuel supply system capable of switching fuel pressure.
- an abnormality detection device for a fuel supply system includes (1) a fuel pump driven by a pump drive motor to supply fuel to a fuel consumption unit, and the fuel consumption from the fuel pump.

Is detected by the state change detection means, and the abnormality determination means determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the switching of the fuel pressure (set pressure) by the variable fuel pressure adjustment valve based on the detection information of the state change detection means Is done. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect abnormality in the fuel pressure switching operation without using an expensive fuel pressure sensor or using detection information of the air-fuel sensor.
- the change in the state of energization of the pump drive motor here is a change in the current flowing through the pump drive motor or a change in the terminal voltage of the pump drive motor. It may be detected indirectly as a change.
- the fact that the fuel supply amount becomes substantially constant means that the fuel supply amount can vary within a range in which a required detection accuracy can be ensured (within a predetermined error range).
- the state change detecting means detects a change in an energization current of the pump drive motor after the set pressure is switched. It is. Therefore, when the rotational load of the fuel pump changes due to switching of the set pressure, and the current flowing to the pump drive motor changes with respect to the same drive voltage, whether or not the switching of the set pressure is normal depending on whether or not this current change has occurred. Is reliably determined.

- the pump drive voltage is further constant, the current flowing to the pump drive motor changes clearly according to the change in the fuel pressure. Can be detected with low noise. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect whether the fuel pressure switching operation is normal or abnormal based on whether there is a change in the current flowing through the pump drive motor, without using a fuel pressure sensor or using detection information of the air-fuel sensor.
- the fuel consuming unit is a fuel injection unit of an internal combustion engine
- the operating means is configured to control the variable fuel pressure adjusting valve when the internal combustion engine is stopped.

- the set pressure of the variable fuel pressure adjustment valve becomes high when the internal combustion engine is stopped, and the high set pressure is maintained after the internal combustion engine is stopped. Is effectively suppressed, and the startability of the internal combustion engine is improved. Further, by using the change of the fuel pressure (set pressure) by the variable fuel pressure adjusting valve when the internal combustion engine is stopped, the change of the state applied to the pump drive motor is detected by the state change detecting means, so that the fuel pressure is switched. Whether the operation is normal or abnormal can be reliably detected. Therefore, even if the internal combustion engine is stopped after continuing operation at a low fuel pressure, if an abnormality in the fuel pressure switching operation has occurred before the stop, it is surely ensured by the end of the operation. Thus, the abnormality cannot be detected until after the next start of the internal combustion engine.
- the state change detection means gives an instruction to stop the pump drive motor when the pump drive motor is stopped to stop the internal combustion engine. You may detect the change of the state concerning the energization of the said pump drive motor in the stop time from the generation

- the abnormality determining means determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the switching of the set pressure of the variable fuel pressure adjusting valve based on the detected required stop time.
- the required stop time at the time of stopping power supply to the pump drive motor differs depending on whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the switching of the fuel pressure (set pressure) by the variable fuel pressure adjustment valve.
- the detectable time can be increased, and if an abnormality in the fuel pressure switching operation has occurred before the internal combustion engine is stopped, the abnormality can be reliably detected by the end of operation.
