Abstract

An engine-driven working machine includes a controller, which varies a control value of a solenoid valve so as to decrease or increase an opening degree of the solenoid valve when a rotating speed of an engine is within a predetermined high rotating speed range and the rotating speed of the engine is lower or higher than a predetermined rotating speed, respectively. In case the controller determines that the engine-driven working machine gets started saw cutting, the controller stops varying the control value of the solenoid valve when the rotating speed of the engine is within the predetermined high rotating speed range and lower than the target rotating speed.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. An engine-driven working machine comprising:
an engine including an electronically controlled carburetor; and
a controller connected to the electronically controlled carburetor;
wherein the electronically controlled carburetor includes a solenoid valve for adjusting an amount of fuel supplied to the electronically controlled carburetor,
wherein the controller is configured to determine whether or not the working machine is in a load state;
wherein the controller is configured to vary a control value of the solenoid valve so as to increase an opening degree of the solenoid valve when a rotating speed of the engine is within a predetermined high rotating speed range, the working machine is not in the load state, and the rotating speed of the engine is higher than a target rotating speed,
wherein the controller is configured to vary the control value of the solenoid valve so as to decrease the opening degree of the solenoid valve when the rotating speed of the engine is within the predetermined high rotating speed range, the working machine is not in the load state, and the rotating speed of the engine is lower than the target rotating speed, and
wherein the controller is not configured to vary the control value of the solenoid valve when the rotating speed of the engine is within the predetermined high rotating speed range, the working machine is in the load state, and the rotating speed of the engine is lower than the target rotating speed.

2. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to vary the control value of the solenoid valve so as to increase the opening degree of the solenoid valve when the rotating speed of the engine is within the predetermined high rotating speed range, the working machine is in the load state, and the rotating speed of the engine is higher than the target rotating speed.

3. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller determines that the engine-driven working machine enters the load state when a changing value of the rotating speed of the engine for one rotation of the engine is lower than a predetermined threshold value more than a predetermined number of times per a predetermined number of continuous rotations.

4. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the controller determines that the engine-driven working machine enters the load state when a changing value of the rotating speed of the engine for one rotation of the engine is within a predetermined range more than a predetermined number of times per a predetermined number of continuous rotations.

5. The engine-driven working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the engine-driven working machine is a chain saw, an engine cutter or a hedge trimmer.
