Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A problem exists that in the case that a prior injection (a pilot injection B or a previous injection C) before a main injection A is executed when an engine is driven at a low load, a defective ignition and a defective combustion tend to be caused, an amount of carbon monoxide (CO) in an exhaust gas becomes excessive, and the carbon monoxide is discharged as white smoke. An engine device is mounted to a working vehicle, and a common rail type fuel injection device which injects fuel to the engine at multiple stages during one combustion cycle. The common rail type fuel injection device does not execute the prior injections B and C coming before the main injection A in the case that a load applied to the engine is in a low load state in which a load is lower than that at a working time by the working vehicle.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An engine device comprising: an engine being mounted to a working vehicle; and a common rail type fuel injection device for injecting fuel to the engine at multiple stages during one combustion cycle, wherein the common rail type fuel injection device makes an injection amount of a prior injection coming before a main injection less than a previously set prescribed amount in the case that a load applied to the engine is in a low load state in which a load is lower than that at a working time by the working vehicle. 2. The engine device according to claim 1 , wherein the common rail type fuel injection device sets an injection amount of the prior injection to the prescribed amount in the case that the load applied to the engine is in the other state than the low load state.
