Patent ID: 7051706

Claim:
A control mechanism for a fuel injection pump, comprising: an electronic governor which actuates a rack actuator by a controller for controlling a governing rack; and a cold start device which actuates an injection-quickening actuator by the controller for opening or closing a draining sub port formed in a plunger barrel so as to advance injection timing when an engine is cold, wherein the controller stores a first map, having a characteristic curve of governing rack position in switch-on condition of the cold start device, and a second map, having a characteristic curve of governing rack position in switch-off condition of the cold start device, and controls the governing rack due according to one of the maps selected depending on whether the cold start device is switched on or off, and wherein, when pump rotary speed of the fuel injection pump is larger than a threshold value, the characteristic curve of governing rack position as the first map is expressed as shifted in the direction for reducing injection quantity from the characteristic curve of governing rack position as the second map, characterized in that, with respect to each of the first and second maps, when the pump rotary speed is lower than the threshold value, the governing rack position is set at a fuel-increasing rack position for engine start, that, when the pump rotary speed is close to 0, the first and second maps have substantially the same fuel-increasing rack position for engine start, and that, as the pump rotary speed increases from 0 to the threshold value, the fuel-increasing rack position for engine start in the second map is kept constant, and the fuel-increasing rack position for engine start in the first map moves in the direction for reducing injection quantity.
