Abstract
Abstract A liquid injection regulator for use in an injection amount measuring apparatus has seal sections for sealing an injection chamber to be charged with fuel oil and a fuel oil discharge port, respectively, and a control valve having portions thereof which constitute parts of the two seal sections. The control valve departs from the injection chamber to release the two seal sections to thereby discharge the liquid and after completion of the discharge of liquid, returns to the liquid injection chamber while sealing the liquid discharge port to thereby raise pressure in the liquid injection chamber.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
An apparatus for measuring an injection amount comprising: an injection chamber to be charged with liquid injected from an injection device under measurement; a prime mover for driving the injection device; a liquid injection regulator operable in response to the rotation angle of a shaft of the prime mover, said liquid injection regulator having two seal sections for sealing said injection chamber and a liquid discharge port, respectively, and a control valve, said control valve having portions thereof which constitute parts of the two seal portions, wherein when discharging the liquid, said control valve departs from said injection chamber to release said two seal sections to thereby connect the injection chamber to the discharge port and after completion of the discharge of liquid, returns to said liquid injection chamber while sealing said liquid discharge port to thereby raise pressure in said injection chamber; a displacement member which displaces in accordance with a change in the volume of said injection chamber; a displacement detector which converts a displacement of the displacement member into an electrical signal; and an arithmetic unit which arithmetically processes the electrical signal from the displacement detector to display an injection amount of the liquid injected from the injection device under measurement.
