Fuel injection device, fuel injection system, and method for determining malfunction of the same

摘要

A fuel injection device includes a fuel injection valve (20) for injecting fuel, which is distributed from a pressure-accumulation vessel (12). A pressure sensor (20a) is located in a fuel passage (25), which extends from the pressure-accumulation vessel (12) to a nozzle hole (20f) of the fuel injection valve (20). The pressure sensor (20a) is located closer to the nozzle hole (20f) than the pressure-accumulation vessel (12) and configured to detect pressure of fuel. The fuel injection device further includes a storage unit (26) for storing individual difference information, which indicates an injection characteristic of the fuel injection valve (20). The injection characteristic is obtained by an examination. The individual difference information indicates a relationship between an injection state when the fuel injection valve (20) performs fuel injection and a fluctuation in detected pressure of the pressure sensor (20a). The fluctuation is attributed to the fuel injection.
