Abstract

A control method for a vehicle injector includes an injection time determination step in which a controller determines whether it is necessary for multiple injectors to inject fuel according to a combustion cycle of a combustion chamber, an individual injection step in which the controller controls each of the multiple injectors to individually inject fuel at different times when the controller determines in the injection time determination step that it is necessary for the injectors to inject fuel, and a simultaneous injection step in which the controller controls each of the multiple injectors to simultaneously inject fuel after the multiple injectors individually inject fuel at different times in the individual injection step.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control system for a vehicle injector, comprising:
injectors arranged to inject fuel toward a combustion chamber of an engine; and
a controller for determining whether it is necessary for the injectors to inject fuel according to a combustion cycle of the combustion chamber, for controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors individually inject fuel at different times when determining that it is necessary for the injectors to inject fuel, and for controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors simultaneously inject fuel after the injectors individually inject fuel at different times.

2. The control system of claim 1 , wherein when controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors individually inject fuel at different times, the controller controls each of the injectors to alternately inject fuel multiple times.

3. The control system of claim 1 , wherein when controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors individually inject fuel at different times, the controller controls a fuel injection section of each of the injectors to form a delay section, during which fuel injection is not performed, in an interval between the individual and simultaneous fuel injection sections of the injectors.

4. The control system of claim 1 , wherein when controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors simultaneously inject fuel, the controller regulates a total fuel amount injected for one combustion cycle by regulating an amount of fuel injected by each of the injectors.

5. The control system of claim 1 , wherein when controlling each of the injectors to make the injectors individually inject fuel at different times, the injectors are arranged on an intake port of the engine, and the controller makes the injectors perform a first fuel injection in a state in which an intake valve arranged in the combustion chamber is closed.
