In FIG. 7, an exhaust gas collecting groove 64 and an exhaust gas sensor 62 are provided on an inner exhaust port inner wall surface 77 on the opposite side to the curved bulge side . When the internal combustion engine 2 is operating at high speed, the high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas flows at high speed along the curved outer port inner wall surface 78 away from the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 and the exhaust gas sensor 62. During high speed operation, the exhaust gas sensor 62 is less exposed to high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas, and the heat resistance of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is improved.

  8 and 9 are three-dimensional model diagrams of the exhaust port 40. FIG. Although the exhaust port 40 is a space without an entity, it is a perspective view of a model manufactured as if it were an entity, and FIG. 9 is a view seen from the direction of the arrow IX in FIG.

  In FIG. 8, the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 is configured such that a rearward extension virtual terminal portion 75 formed by extending the wall surface of the groove to the downstream side substantially coincides with the oxygen concentration detecting portion 69 of the exhaust gas sensor 62. Formed. Therefore, the flow of the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 directly hits the detection unit 69 of the exhaust gas sensor 62 and is prevented from flowing around to the downstream side of the exhaust gas sensor 62. Detection accuracy can be increased.

  In FIG. 7, the exhaust gas sensor 62 is disposed toward the exhaust port 40 so as to protrude from the downstream side toward the upstream side with respect to the passage center line E of the exhaust port 40. The mainstream flow direction F of the exhaust gas coincides with the passage center line E of the exhaust port 40. That is, in FIG. 7, the angle α formed by the flow direction F of the main flow of exhaust gas and the axis S of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is an acute angle. As a result, the exhaust gas can flow into the detection unit 69 of the exhaust gas sensor 62 and the detection performance can be improved.

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the exhaust port 40 of FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XI-XI in FIG. Each of the lower portions of FIGS. 10 and 11 is a contact surface 65 with respect to the cylinder block 30. The tip of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is exposed in the exhaust port 40.

In FIG. 10, the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 is formed before and after the constricted portion 80 (see also FIG. 8) of the exhaust port 40 by the valve guide holding portion 79. Since also flows into the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 at a relatively Ri by the constricted portion 80 slow to become exhaust gas, it is possible to accelerate the activity of the initial start of the sensor.

  In FIG. 11, the base 71a of the element protection cap 71 of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is located in the exhaust gas sensor mounting hole 63, and the tip 71b of the element protection cap 71 is located on the exhaust gas passage of the exhaust port 40. doing. This is because the exhaust gas guiding effect reduces the exposure amount of the detection unit 69 to the gas passage in the exhaust port 40 and reduces the exposure of the detection unit 69 to the high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas. This is because the oxygen concentration can be detected while improving the heat resistance.

10 and 11, the axis S of the exhaust gas sensor 62 has a dimension d from the passage center line E of the exhaust port 40 in the direction inside the curve of the exhaust port 40, that is, in the direction approaching the contact surface 65 against the cylinder block 30. It is arranged with a displacement of. When the internal combustion engine 2 starts at a low speed, the exhaust gas flow flows along the arrow L toward the inside of the curved portion in FIG.
Since this flow is effectively captured by the exhaust gas collecting groove 64, activation at the initial stage of starting can be accelerated. At the time of high output of the internal combustion engine 2, the flow rate of the exhaust gas is fast and flows outside the curved portion along the arrow H in FIG. 10, so that the exhaust gas sensor 62 does not disturb the flow of the exhaust gas.

  In the present embodiment, when the internal combustion engine 2 is started, the intake air is controlled to be constant by performing the ignition timing control and the fuel injection amount control. Specifically, the control of the intake air is not performed but only the control of the ignition timing advance and the increase in the fuel injection amount is performed at the start, and the engine warm-up due to the increase in the engine speed due to the warm-up operation is performed. Even when the structure cannot be expected to be accelerated, the reaction start time can be reduced.

As described in detail above, the following effects are brought about in the above embodiment.
(1) Since the exhaust gas is guided to the exhaust gas sensor 62 by the exhaust gas collecting groove 64, the activation of the exhaust gas sensor 62 in the initial operation can be accelerated.
(2) Since only the tip of the element protection cap 71 of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is located in the exhaust port 40, the exhaust gas sensor 62 functions as well as reducing exposure to high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas. The heat resistance of the exhaust gas sensor 62 can be improved.
(3) The exhaust port 40 is bent when viewed in the direction of the cylinder axis C (FIG. 4), and the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 and the exhaust gas sensor 62 are provided on the inner wall of the bent exhaust port 40. Therefore, exposure to high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gas can be reduced and the heat resistance of the exhaust gas sensor 62 can be improved.
(4) Since the low-speed gas by the exhaust valve guide holding portion 79 also flows into the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 and is sent to the exhaust gas sensor 62, activation of the exhaust gas sensor 62 can be accelerated.
(5) The exhaust gas collecting groove 64 has a rear extension virtual terminal portion 75 of the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 formed by extending the inner wall surface in the downstream direction. The exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 intensively flows into the detection unit 69 of the exhaust gas sensor 62, so that the detection accuracy of the detection unit 69 of the exhaust gas sensor 62 is improved. Can be increased.
(6) The activation time can be shortened also in the internal combustion engine 2 in which the intake air amount control is not performed.
(7) Since the exhaust gas sensor 62 is disposed with its axis S inclined toward the upstream side with respect to the center line E of the exhaust port 40, the exhaust gas flows well into the exhaust gas sensor 62, and the detection performance Can be increased.
(8) The exhaust gas sensor 62 is displaced by a predetermined dimension d from the center line E of the exhaust port toward the inner side of the curved portion of the exhaust port when viewed from the side (in the direction approaching the contact surface 65 with respect to the cylinder block 30). Since it is arranged, the exhaust gas collecting groove 64 can effectively capture the flow of the exhaust gas even during the low-speed flow at the start of the internal combustion engine 2, and the activation at the initial start can be accelerated. In addition, when the exhaust gas flow rate is high and the output is high, the exhaust gas flow is not obstructed.
