- a guaranteed minimum injection amount of about 2 mm 3 /stroke (st) is set in consideration of individual differences of injectors and individual differences of electronic control units (ECUs).
- the pre-injection amount may become equal to or greater than the main injection amount. For example, if the idle injection amount is indicated by an absolute value of 3 mm 3 /st and the pre-injection amount is indicated by an absolute value of 2 mm 3 /st, the main injection amount is set to 1 mm 3 /st. Then, there is a problem that the amount of pre-injection becomes larger than the amount of main injection, resulting in abnormal combustion.

Therefore, when the fuel injection control device described in Patent Literature 1 is applied to the small displacement engine described above, the pilot injection amount may be set to the guaranteed minimum injection amount or less. However, if this is the case, depending on individual differences in injectors and individual ECUs, the pilot injection may disappear and the noise reduction effect may decrease.

- the minute injection amount region determination section determines whether or not the entire injection amount is included in the minute injection amount region. Then, when the minute injection amount region determining unit determines that the total injection amount is included in the minute injection amount region, the injection amount setting unit sets a predetermined ratio of the fuel injection amount to the total injection amount as the preceding injection amount. Therefore, even in a small-displacement engine in which the total injection amount is set to a small injection amount, the injector control device according to the present invention can prevent the preceding injection, which is executed prior to the main injection in the multi-stage injection, from disappearing.

Therefore, even in the engine 3 with a small displacement (for example, less than 1000 cc) in which the total injection quantity is set to a small injection quantity (for example, about 6 mm 3 /st or less), the injector control device 2 according to the present embodiment performs multi-stage injection. It is possible to set the pre-injection amount to a smaller fuel injection amount than the main injection amount while suppressing the disappearance of the pre-injection that is executed prior to the main injection.
- the injection amount setting unit 211 changes the preset predetermined fuel injection amount to the pre-injection amount. set to Therefore, when the minute injection amount region determination unit 214 determines that the total injection amount is not included in the minute injection amount region, the injection amount setting unit 211 sets the absolute value of the fuel injection amount to the pre-injection amount. .
- the injector control device 2 can prevent the pre-injection amount from becoming excessive when the total injection amount is included in a range other than the small injection amount range such as the high injection amount range.
- FIG. 6 is a graph illustrating an example of the results of studies conducted by the inventors.
- the inventor conducted an investigation by actual measurement on the relationship between the pre-injection amount (QPRE) and the combustion noise level (CNL) under the following operating conditions.
- QPRE pre-injection amount
- CNL combustion noise level
- An example of the examination result is as shown in the graph of FIG. That is, when the pre-injection amount is 1.0 mm 3 /st ⁇ 0.5 mm 3 /st, the combustion noise level when the pre-injection amount is zero (when pre-injection is not performed) It was found that the noise level could be reduced by 4 dB. As a result, even when the pre-injection amount of the lower limit injector 31L is 0.6 mm 3 /st as described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the combustion noise level when the pre-injection amount is zero is As a reference, it can be seen that the combustion noise level can be reduced by 4 dB.
