発明の効果  The invention's effect
[0014] 請求項 1の発明に係るガス燃料内燃機関によれば、燃料供給通路の燃焼室に開 口する下流端開口を複数設け、各下流端開口をそれぞれ弁軸に傘形状の弁板を形 成してなる、いわゆるポペット弁型の燃料供給弁により開閉するようにしたので、燃料 供給通路及びその下流端開口を大径にした場合にも該開口を支障なく開閉でき、短 期間で必要な量のガス燃料を燃焼室内全域にかつ均一に供給することができる。こ れにより、充填効率を向上でき、高負荷時の出力性能を高めることができるとともに、 燃費及び排気ガス性状を良好にできる。 [0014] According to the gas fuel internal combustion engine of the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of downstream end openings that open to the combustion chamber of the fuel supply passage are provided, and each downstream end opening is provided with an umbrella-shaped valve plate on the valve shaft. Since it is opened and closed by a so-called poppet valve type fuel supply valve, the opening can be opened and closed without any trouble even when the fuel supply passage and its downstream end opening are made large in diameter, and it is necessary in a short period of time. A sufficient amount of gas fuel can be supplied uniformly throughout the combustion chamber. This As a result, charging efficiency can be improved, output performance at high loads can be improved, and fuel consumption and exhaust gas properties can be improved.
[0015] 請求項 2の発明では、燃焼室を、排気ポート側斜面と反排気ポート側斜面とを有す るペントルーフ型のものとし、該何れかの斜面に燃料供給弁を並列配置したので、各 燃料供給弁を、例えば 1つのカム軸で開閉駆動することができる。また燃焼室をペン トルーフ型とすることで、既燃焼ガスの掃気効率を向上できる。  [0015] In the invention of claim 2, the combustion chamber is of a pent roof type having an exhaust port side slope and an anti-exhaust port side slope, and the fuel supply valve is arranged in parallel on any of the slopes. Each fuel supply valve can be driven to open and close by, for example, one camshaft. The scavenging efficiency of the already burned gas can be improved by making the combustion chamber a pent roof type.
[0016] 請求項 3の発明では、燃料供給弁を、反排気ポート側斜面に配置したので、比較 的新気割合の高い燃焼室の反排気ポート側に燃料供給を行なうことにより、 G (新気 +残留ガス) ZF (燃料)比を小さくすることができ、良好な燃焼を行なうことができる。  [0016] In the invention of claim 3, since the fuel supply valve is disposed on the inclined surface on the anti-exhaust port side, by supplying fuel to the anti-exhaust port side of the combustion chamber having a relatively high fresh air ratio, G (new Gas + residual gas) ZF (fuel) ratio can be reduced, and good combustion can be performed.
[0017] 請求項 4の発明では、点火プラグを、排気ポート側斜面に配置したので、燃料供給 弁に対向する位置にて電気火花を発生させることができ、安定した着火を得ることが できるとともに、急速燃焼を得ることができる。即ち、 2サイクル内燃機関は、その構造 上、部分負荷運転時には、上述のように、燃焼室全体で GZF比が大きくなる。燃料 供給弁の開期間の全て又は一部を、排気ポート閉期間に一致させることで、部分負 荷時にお ヽても噴出されたガス燃料を、掃気流の影響を受けることなく燃料供給弁 周辺に滞留させることができる。本発明では、点火プラグを燃料供給弁に対向する側 に設けたので、上記滞留している燃料に向けて火花を発生させることができ、安定し た着火と急速燃焼を実現することができる。  [0017] In the invention of claim 4, since the spark plug is arranged on the exhaust port side slope, an electric spark can be generated at a position facing the fuel supply valve, and stable ignition can be obtained. Can get rapid combustion. That is, because of the structure of the two-cycle internal combustion engine, the GZF ratio in the entire combustion chamber increases as described above during partial load operation. By aligning all or part of the open period of the fuel supply valve with the exhaust port closing period, the gas fuel that has been ejected even when partly loaded is not affected by the scavenging air. Can be retained. In the present invention, since the spark plug is provided on the side facing the fuel supply valve, a spark can be generated toward the stagnant fuel, and stable ignition and rapid combustion can be realized.
[0018] 請求項 5の発明では、点火プラグを AZB≥1. 5、 A/C≥2. 0の位置に配置した ので、つまり、点火プラグを燃料供給弁に近接配置したので、燃料供給弁の周辺に 滞留するガス燃料に確実に点火することができる。  [0018] In the invention of claim 5, since the spark plug is disposed at a position of AZB≥1.5 and A / C≥2.0, that is, the spark plug is disposed close to the fuel supply valve. It is possible to reliably ignite the gas fuel staying in the vicinity.
[0019] 請求項 6の発明では、点火プラグを、各燃料供給弁の中心と排気ポートの中心とを 結ぶ線の内側に配置したので、隣接する燃料供給弁力 噴出され、両弁の間で合流 したガス燃料の中心部にて電気火花を発生させることができ、低負荷時の燃焼を安 定させることができる。即ち、上述のように 2サイクル内燃機関では、部分負荷運転時 には GZF比が大きくなるが、燃料供給弁の開期間の全て又は一部を、排気ポート閉 期間に一致させることができ、噴出されたガス燃料を燃料供給弁周辺に滞留させるこ とができる。この場合、上記燃料供給弁が隣接する箇所ではガス燃料が合成され、一 部は排気ポート側に偏向して流れる。本発明では、この偏向流の中心部に点火ブラ グを位置させたので、低負荷時の燃焼が安定する。 [0019] In the invention of claim 6, since the spark plug is disposed inside the line connecting the center of each fuel supply valve and the center of the exhaust port, the adjacent fuel supply valve force is ejected between the valves. Electric sparks can be generated at the center of the combined gas fuel, and combustion at low loads can be stabilized. That is, in the two-cycle internal combustion engine as described above, the GZF ratio becomes large during partial load operation, but all or part of the open period of the fuel supply valve can be matched with the exhaust port closed period. The gas fuel can be retained around the fuel supply valve. In this case, the gas fuel is synthesized at the location where the fuel supply valve is adjacent to the fuel supply valve. The part flows deflected toward the exhaust port. In the present invention, since the ignition plug is positioned at the center of the deflected flow, combustion at low load is stabilized.
[0020] 請求項 7の発明では、燃料供給通路の、各下流端開口の上流側近傍部分に共通 の蓄圧室を設けたので、蓄圧室に高圧ガス燃料を蓄えることにより、短期間で必要な 量のガス燃料を供給することができ、良好な混合気を生成できる。また各燃料供給弁 がーつの蓄圧室を共用することとなり、燃料供給通路の構造を簡素にできる。  [0020] In the invention of claim 7, since the common pressure accumulating chamber is provided in the vicinity of the upstream side of each downstream end opening of the fuel supply passage, the high pressure gas fuel is stored in the pressure accumulating chamber. An amount of gas fuel can be supplied, and a good mixture can be generated. In addition, each fuel supply valve shares one pressure accumulating chamber, and the structure of the fuel supply passage can be simplified.
[0021] 請求項 8の発明では、燃料供給通路の各下流端開口部に各下流端開口毎に独立 の蓄圧室を設けたので、該各蓄圧室に高圧ガス燃料を蓄えることにより、短期間で必 要な量のガス燃料を供給することができ、良好な混合気を生成できる。  [0021] In the invention of claim 8, since an independent pressure accumulating chamber is provided for each downstream end opening in each downstream end opening of the fuel supply passage, the high pressure gas fuel is stored in each accumulating chamber, so that a short period of time can be obtained. Therefore, the required amount of gas fuel can be supplied and a good air-fuel mixture can be generated.
[0022] また各燃料供給弁毎に独立の蓄圧室を設けたので、 1気筒当りの蓄圧室を小容量 として燃料供給通路を細径とすることにより、流量制御弁より下流の容積を小さくでき 、燃料流量の制御性を向上できる。特に減速時での燃料カット及びそれに続く再カロ 速のような状況での追従性を向上でき、排気ガス性状及び運転性能を向上できる。 図面の簡単な説明  [0022] Further, since an independent pressure accumulating chamber is provided for each fuel supply valve, the volume downstream of the flow control valve can be reduced by reducing the pressure accumulating chamber per cylinder and reducing the fuel supply passage. The controllability of the fuel flow rate can be improved. In particular, it is possible to improve the followability in situations such as fuel cut during deceleration and subsequent re-calo speed, and to improve exhaust gas properties and operating performance.

A plurality of scavenging ports 3d for introducing the air or air-fuel mixture compressed in the crank chamber 2a into the cylinder bore 3b is formed in the side wall of the intake passage 2c of the cylinder block 3. The cylinder side opening of each scavenging port 3d is arranged on the opposite side of the cylinder bore 3b from the exhaust port 3c.
[0032] 上記シリンダヘッド 4のシリンダボア 3bに対向する下合面部分には、燃焼凹部 4aが 凹設されている。この燃焼凹部 4aは、気筒軸線 aに直交し、かつクランク軸と平行な 直線 cを挟んで排気ポート 3c側に位置するよう形成された排気ポート側斜面 4a' と、 反排気ポート側に位置するよう形成された反排気ポート側斜面 4a' ' とを有するぺ ントルーフ型のものである。上記燃焼凹部 4aと上死点近傍におけるピストン 6の頂面 6aとシリンダボア 3bで囲まれた空間が燃焼室 18となっている。  [0032] A combustion recess 4a is formed in the lower mating surface portion of the cylinder head 4 facing the cylinder bore 3b. The combustion recess 4a is located on the exhaust port side inclined surface 4a 'formed on the exhaust port 3c side with a straight line c orthogonal to the cylinder axis a and parallel to the crankshaft, and on the anti-exhaust port side.

When viewed in the direction of the axis a, the cylinder is disposed on both sides of a straight line c extending through the cylinder axis a, perpendicular to the center line b of the exhaust port 3c, and extending in the crankshaft direction. Specifically, each ignition plug 35 is mounted on the cylinder head 4 so that its electrodes 35a, 35a are close to or coincide with the straight line c, and each downstream end opening 4d is slightly smaller than the straight line c. It is placed at a position away from the anti-exhaust port (see Fig. 3).
[0037] また、図 3に示すように、上記各点火プラグ 35は、上記燃焼室 18の半径を A、燃料 供給弁 20の中心から隣接する点火プラグ 35の電極 35aまでの気筒軸直角方向距 離を B、上記燃焼室中心 (気筒軸線 a)力も点火プラグ 35の電極部 35aまでの気筒軸 直角方向距離を Cとするとき、 AZB≥1. 5、 AZC≥2. 0の位置に配置されている。 ここで上記 AZB, AZCをそれぞれ 1. 5, 2. 0以上に設定するとは、点火プラグ 35 の電極 35aをできるだけ燃料供給弁 20の中心に近接させるとの意味である。従って 点火プラグ 35のねじ孔と下流端開口 4dとの干渉を回避し、かつ必要な強度を確保 可能の範囲で点火プラグ 35を燃料供給弁 20に近接させるのが好ましい。  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, each spark plug 35 has a combustion chamber 18 radius A, and a cylinder axis perpendicular distance from the center of the fuel supply valve 20 to the electrode 35a of the adjacent spark plug 35. When the separation is B, and the above-mentioned combustion chamber center (cylinder axis a) force is C, the distance perpendicular to the cylinder axis to the electrode part 35a of the spark plug 35 is C, the positions are AZB≥1.5 and AZC≥2.0. ing. Here, setting AZB and AZC to 1.5, 2.0 or more means that the electrode 35a of the spark plug 35 is as close as possible to the center of the fuel supply valve 20. Therefore, it is preferable that the spark plug 35 be close to the fuel supply valve 20 within a range in which interference between the screw hole of the spark plug 35 and the downstream end opening 4d can be avoided and a necessary strength can be ensured.
[0038] 上記燃料供給弁 20は、上記下流端開口 4dの周縁に当接する傘形状の弁板 20b を弁軸 20aの下端に一体形成してなる、いわゆるポペット弁型のものである。  [0038] The fuel supply valve 20 is a so-called poppet valve type in which an umbrella-shaped valve plate 20b that is in contact with the periphery of the downstream end opening 4d is formed integrally with the lower end of the valve shaft 20a.
[0039] 上記弁軸 20aは、上記分岐通路 4h内を通ってシリンダヘッド 4の動弁室 27に向け て延びており、該シリンダヘッド 4に圧入された円筒状のバルブガイド部材 25により摺 動自在に案内されている。また上記弁軸 20aの上端部には、リテーナ 21が装着され 、該リテーテ 21とシリンダヘッド 4との間には燃料供給弁 20を常時閉方向に付勢する バルブスプリング 22が配設されている。さらにまた上記弁軸 20aの上端部にはバル プリフタ 21aが装着されており、該バルブリフタ 21aはシリンダヘッド 4により摺動自在 に支持されている。 The valve shaft 20a extends through the branch passage 4h toward the valve chamber 27 of the cylinder head 4, and is slid by a cylindrical valve guide member 25 press-fitted into the cylinder head 4. It is guided freely. A retainer 21 is attached to the upper end portion of the valve shaft 20a, and a valve spring 22 is disposed between the retainer 21 and the cylinder head 4 to urge the fuel supply valve 20 in a normally closing direction. . Furthermore, a valve lifter 21a is attached to the upper end of the valve shaft 20a, and the valve lifter 21a is slidably supported by the cylinder head 4.
[0040] 上記シリンダヘッド 4の上面には、該シリンダヘッド 4とで上述の動弁室 27を形成す るヘッドカバー 8が装着されている。該動弁室 27内には、上記各燃料供給弁 20を開 閉駆動するカム軸 31が収容配置されている。このカム軸 31は、上記クランク軸 5と平 行に配置されており、該クランク軸 5により不図示のタイミングベルトを介して回転駆 動される。  A head cover 8 that forms the above-described valve operating chamber 27 with the cylinder head 4 is mounted on the upper surface of the cylinder head 4. A camshaft 31 that opens and closes each fuel supply valve 20 is accommodated in the valve operating chamber 27. The camshaft 31 is disposed in parallel with the crankshaft 5 and is rotationally driven by the crankshaft 5 via a timing belt (not shown).
[0041] 上記ガス燃料内燃機関 1は、上記燃焼室 18にガス燃料を供給するガス燃料供給 装置を備えている。このガス燃料供給装置は、図 4に示すように、燃料タンク 41と、該 燃料タンク 41の吐出口 41aにその上流端が接続され、下流端が上記燃料供給通路 4cの上流端開口 4eのプレート 4gに接続されたガス燃料供給管 40とを有している。  The gas fuel internal combustion engine 1 includes a gas fuel supply device that supplies gas fuel to the combustion chamber 18. As shown in FIG. 4, this gas fuel supply apparatus has a fuel tank 41 and its upstream end connected to the discharge port 41a of the fuel tank 41, and the downstream end is a plate of the upstream end opening 4e of the fuel supply passage 4c. And a gas fuel supply pipe 40 connected to 4 g.
[0042] 上記ガス燃料供給管 40には、上流側力も順に手動バルブ 42,燃料フィルタ 43,圧 力センサ 44,シャットオフバルブ 45,圧力レギユレータ 46,流量制御弁 47,逆止弁 4 8がそれぞれ介設されている。また上記燃料タンク 41の吐出口 41aには、シャットオフ バルブ 49,燃料圧力センサ 50が接続されており、さらに逆止弁 51を介して燃料補給 口 52が接続されている。上記逆止弁 48は、燃焼供給通路 4c側から燃料タンク 41側 への流れを阻止するものであり、上記燃料供給通路 4cの上流端開口 4eの近傍に配 置されている。  [0042] In the gas fuel supply pipe 40, the upstream side force also includes a manual valve 42, a fuel filter 43, a pressure sensor 44, a shut-off valve 45, a pressure regulator 46, a flow control valve 47, and a check valve 4 8 in this order. It is installed. In addition, a shutoff valve 49 and a fuel pressure sensor 50 are connected to the discharge port 41a of the fuel tank 41, and a fuel supply port 52 is connected via a check valve 51. The check valve 48 prevents a flow from the combustion supply passage 4c side to the fuel tank 41 side, and is disposed in the vicinity of the upstream end opening 4e of the fuel supply passage 4c.
[0043] 上記各圧力センサ 44, 50からの検出信号は ECU53に入力され、該 ECU53は、 これらの検出信号に基づいて、シャットオフバルブ 45, 49及び流量制御弁 47を制御 するように構成されている。このシャットオフバルブ 45, 49は、メインスィッチをオフに したとき,車両が転倒したとき等に閉じるように構成されて 、る。  [0043] Detection signals from the pressure sensors 44 and 50 are input to the ECU 53, and the ECU 53 is configured to control the shut-off valves 45 and 49 and the flow control valve 47 based on these detection signals. ing. The shut-off valves 45 and 49 are configured to close when the main switch is turned off or when the vehicle falls.
[0044] ここで上記流量制御弁 47として、開口面積を制御する比例制御式弁や開弁時間を 制御するインジェクタ式弁等が採用可能である。なお、インジェクタ式弁を採用した場 合は、それ自体が逆止弁機能を有するので、上記逆止弁 48は不要となる。 [0045] また上記流量制御弁 47は、ガス燃料供給管 40の途中に介在させるものに限らず、 例えばシリンダヘッド 4に直接装着し、蓄圧室 4fにガス燃料を供給するように構成し ても良い。 Here, as the flow control valve 47, a proportional control valve for controlling the opening area, an injector valve for controlling the valve opening time, or the like can be adopted. When an injector valve is used, the check valve 48 is not necessary because the valve itself has a check valve function. [0045] The flow rate control valve 47 is not limited to the one interposed in the middle of the gas fuel supply pipe 40. For example, the flow control valve 47 may be directly attached to the cylinder head 4 and supply gas fuel to the pressure accumulating chamber 4f. good.
[0046] 本実施形態によれば、燃焼室 18に連通する燃料供給通路 4cの下流端開口 4dを 2 つ設け、各下流端開口 4dをそれぞれポペット弁型の燃料供給弁 20, 20により開閉 するようにしたので、燃料供給通路 4c及び下流端開口 4dを大径にした場合にも支障 なく開閉でき、短期間で必要な量のガス燃料を燃焼室 18内全域にかつ均一に供給 することができる。これにより、充填効率を向上でき、高負荷時の出力性能を高めるこ とができるとともに、燃費及び排気ガス性状を良好にできる。  [0046] According to the present embodiment, two downstream end openings 4d of the fuel supply passage 4c communicating with the combustion chamber 18 are provided, and the respective downstream end openings 4d are opened and closed by the poppet valve type fuel supply valves 20 and 20, respectively. As a result, even when the fuel supply passage 4c and the downstream end opening 4d have a large diameter, they can be opened and closed without any problem, and the required amount of gas fuel can be uniformly supplied throughout the combustion chamber 18 in a short period of time. it can. As a result, the charging efficiency can be improved, the output performance at high loads can be improved, and the fuel consumption and exhaust gas properties can be improved.
[0047] ここで、 2つの下流端開口 4d, 4dの合計開口面積に相当する大きさの 1つの開口 を形成し、該開口を 1つの燃料供給弁により開閉することも可能であるが、このように した場合には、燃料供給弁が大型化するとともに重量増となることから、高負荷時に 短期間で必要な量の燃料を供給するのに不利となる。  [0047] Here, it is possible to form one opening having a size corresponding to the total opening area of the two downstream end openings 4d, 4d, and the opening can be opened and closed by one fuel supply valve. In such a case, the fuel supply valve increases in size and weight, which is disadvantageous for supplying a necessary amount of fuel in a short period of time at high load.
[0048] 本実施形態では、上記燃焼室 18を構成する燃焼凹部 4aを、排気ポート側斜面 4a ' と、反排気ポート側斜面 4a' ' とを有するペントルーフ型のものとし、反排気ポー ト側斜面 4a' ' に上記各燃料供給弁 20を並列配置したので、各燃料供給弁 20を 1 つのカム軸 31で開閉駆動することができる。また上記燃焼室 18をペントルーフ型と することで、既燃焼ガスの掃気効率を向上できる。  [0048] In the present embodiment, the combustion recess 4a constituting the combustion chamber 18 is of a pent roof type having an exhaust port side inclined surface 4a 'and an anti-exhaust port side inclined surface 4a' ', and the anti exhaust port side Since the fuel supply valves 20 are arranged in parallel on the slope 4a ′ ′, each fuel supply valve 20 can be driven to open and close by one cam shaft 31. Further, by making the combustion chamber 18 a pent roof type, the scavenging efficiency of the already burned gas can be improved.
[0049] 上記各燃料供給弁 20を反排気ポート側斜面 4a' ' に配置したので、比較的新気 割合の高い燃焼室 18の反排気ポート側に燃料供給を行なうことができ、良好な燃焼 を行なうことができる。  [0049] Since each of the fuel supply valves 20 is arranged on the anti-exhaust port side slope 4a '', fuel can be supplied to the anti-exhaust port side of the combustion chamber 18 having a relatively high fresh air ratio, and good combustion is achieved. Can be performed.
[0050] 本実施形態では、一対の点火プラグ 35を、上記排気ポート側斜面 4a' に配置した ので、各燃料供給弁 20に対向する位置にて電気火花を発生させることができ、安定 した着火を得ることができるとともに、急速燃焼を実現することができる。即ち、 2サイク ル内燃機関は、その構造上、部分負荷運転時には燃焼室 18全体で GZF比が大き くなる。燃料供給弁 20の開期間の全て又は一部を、排気ポート閉期間に一致させる ことで、噴出されたガス燃料が掃気流の影響を受けに《なり、部分負荷時の場合で も燃料供給弁周辺にガス燃料を滞留させることができる。本実施形態では、各点火 プラグ 35をそれぞれ燃料供給弁 20に対向するよう設けたので、安定した着火と急速 燃焼を実現することができる。 [0050] In the present embodiment, since the pair of spark plugs 35 are arranged on the exhaust port side inclined surface 4a ', an electric spark can be generated at a position facing each fuel supply valve 20, and stable ignition is achieved. As well as rapid combustion. That is, because of the structure of the two-cycle internal combustion engine, the GZF ratio in the entire combustion chamber 18 becomes large during partial load operation. By making all or part of the opening period of the fuel supply valve 20 coincide with the exhaust port closing period, the injected gas fuel is affected by the scavenging air, and even in the case of partial load, the fuel supply valve Gas fuel can be retained in the vicinity. In this embodiment, each ignition Since the plugs 35 are respectively provided so as to face the fuel supply valve 20, stable ignition and rapid combustion can be realized.
[0051] また、本実施形態では、点火プラグ 35の電極部 35aを燃料供給弁 20の中心に可 能な限り近接させるようにしたので、上記燃料供給弁 20の周辺に滞留して 、るガス 燃料に確実に点火することができる。  [0051] In the present embodiment, the electrode portion 35a of the spark plug 35 is as close as possible to the center of the fuel supply valve 20, so that the gas staying around the fuel supply valve 20 is retained. The fuel can be reliably ignited.
[0052] 本実施形態では、シリンダヘッド 4の燃料供給通路 4cの各下流端開口 4dの上流側 近傍に共通の蓄圧室 4fを形成したので、該蓄圧室 4fに高圧ガス燃料を蓄えることに より、短期間で必要な量のガス燃料を供給することができ、良好な混合気を生成でき る。また燃料供給通路 4cの構造を簡素にできる。  In the present embodiment, since the common pressure accumulating chamber 4f is formed near the upstream side of each downstream end opening 4d of the fuel supply passage 4c of the cylinder head 4, the high pressure gas fuel is stored in the pressure accumulating chamber 4f. Thus, a necessary amount of gas fuel can be supplied in a short period of time, and a good air-fuel mixture can be generated. Further, the structure of the fuel supply passage 4c can be simplified.
[0053] なお、上記実施形態では、一対の点火プラグ 35を各燃料供給弁 20に対向するよう に配置した場合を説明したが、本発明では、図 5に示すように、 1つの点火プラグ 35 を、気筒軸線 a方向に見たとき、各燃料供給弁 20の中心と排気ポートの中心線 bとを 結ぶ線 d, dの内側に位置させるようにしてもよい。このようにした場合には、隣接する 燃料供給弁 20, 20から噴出するガス燃料の合流する部分の中心部に電気火花を位 置させることができ、低負荷時の燃焼を安定させることができる。即ち、 2サイクル内燃 機関は、部分負荷運転時には GZF比が大きくなるが、燃料供給弁 20の開期間の全 て又は一部を、排気ポートの閉期間に一致させることで、噴出されたガス燃料が掃気 流の影響を受けにくくなり、燃料供給弁周辺に滞留し易い。そして各燃料供給弁 20 が隣接する箇所ではガス燃料の流れが合成され、一部は排気ポート側に偏向して流 れる。本実施形態では、この偏向流の中心部に点火プラグ 35を位置させたので、低 負荷時の燃焼を安定させることができる。  In the above embodiment, the case where the pair of spark plugs 35 are arranged so as to face each fuel supply valve 20 has been described. However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. May be positioned inside lines d and d connecting the center of each fuel supply valve 20 and the center line b of the exhaust port when viewed in the direction of the cylinder axis a. In this case, an electric spark can be placed at the center of the portion where the gas fuels spouted from the adjacent fuel supply valves 20, 20 merge, and combustion at low loads can be stabilized. . That is, the two-cycle internal combustion engine has a large GZF ratio during partial load operation, but by making all or part of the open period of the fuel supply valve 20 coincide with the closed period of the exhaust port, Is less susceptible to the scavenging flow and tends to stay around the fuel supply valve. And the flow of gas fuel is synthesized at the location where each fuel supply valve 20 is adjacent, and a part is deflected to the exhaust port side. In the present embodiment, since the spark plug 35 is positioned at the center of the deflected flow, combustion at a low load can be stabilized.
[0054] また上記実施形態では、 2つの燃料供給弁を開閉することで燃料供給を行なうよう にした場合を例に説明したが、本発明は、 3つの燃料供給弁により燃料供給を行なう ようにしてもよい。この場合には、排気ポート 3cの中心線 b上で、かつ上記直線じより 反排気ポート側に 1つの燃料供給弁を配置し、該燃料供給弁の両側にそれぞれ燃 料供給弁を配置することとなる。このようにした場合にも、短期間に必要量のガス燃料 を燃焼室内に供給でき、上記実施形態と略同様の効果が得られる。  In the above embodiment, the case where the fuel supply is performed by opening and closing the two fuel supply valves has been described as an example. However, in the present invention, the fuel supply is performed by the three fuel supply valves. May be. In this case, one fuel supply valve is arranged on the center line b of the exhaust port 3c and on the side opposite to the exhaust port from the straight line, and the fuel supply valves are arranged on both sides of the fuel supply valve. It becomes. Even in this case, the required amount of gas fuel can be supplied into the combustion chamber in a short period of time, and the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.
[0055] 図 6〜図 8は本発明の第 2実施形態を説明するための図であり、図中図 1〜図 5と 同一符号は同一又は相当部分示す。 FIGS. 6 to 8 are views for explaining a second embodiment of the present invention, in which FIGS. The same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
[0056] 本第 2実施形態では、各燃料供給弁 20毎に独立の蓄圧室 4 が形成されている 。詳細には、シリンダヘッド 4に、各下流端開口 4d, 4dに続いて各弁軸 20a, 20aを 囲むように上方に延びる筒状の 2つの蓄圧室 4f , 4f' が形成されている。該各蓄 圧室 4 の途中に連通するよう 2つの燃料通路 4h, 4hが形成されている。そして該 各燃料通路 4h, 4h〖こは、共通のプレート 4gに形成された 2つの接続孔 4i, 4iを介し て上述のガス燃料供給管 40の分岐部 40a, 40aが接続されて ヽる。  In the second embodiment, an independent pressure accumulating chamber 4 is formed for each fuel supply valve 20. Specifically, the cylinder head 4 is formed with two cylindrical pressure accumulating chambers 4f and 4f ′ extending upward so as to surround the valve shafts 20a and 20a, following the downstream end openings 4d and 4d. Two fuel passages 4h and 4h are formed so as to communicate with the respective accumulator chambers 4 in the middle. The fuel passages 4h and 4h are connected to the branch portions 40a and 40a of the gas fuel supply pipe 40 through two connection holes 4i and 4i formed in a common plate 4g.
[0057] 本第 2実施形態では、各燃料供給弁 20毎に独立した蓄圧室 4 を設けたので、 1 気筒当りの蓄圧室を小容量とするとともに燃料通路 4hを細径に構成することにより、 流量制御弁 47より下流の容積を小容量にでき、燃料流量の制御性を向上できる。特 に減速時の燃料カットおよびそれに続く再加速のような状況でも追従性が向上し、未 燃ガスの排出が防止され、排気ガス性状と運転性能の向上が得られるという効果が ある。  [0057] In the second embodiment, since the independent pressure accumulating chamber 4 is provided for each fuel supply valve 20, the accumulator chamber per cylinder has a small capacity and the fuel passage 4h has a small diameter. The volume downstream of the flow control valve 47 can be made small, and the controllability of the fuel flow rate can be improved. In particular, followability is improved even in situations such as fuel cut during deceleration and subsequent re-acceleration, which has the effect of preventing emission of unburned gas and improving exhaust gas properties and operating performance.
[0058] なお、上記各実施形態では、燃料供給弁 20をカム軸 31により開閉駆動したが、本 発明では、燃料供給弁 20をソレノイドバルブ等のァクチユエータにより開閉駆動して もよい。このようにした場合には、燃料供給弁 20の開閉タイミング制御上の自由度を 大幅に向上できる。  In each of the above embodiments, the fuel supply valve 20 is driven to open and close by the camshaft 31, but in the present invention, the fuel supply valve 20 may be driven to open and close by an actuator such as a solenoid valve. In this case, the degree of freedom in controlling the opening / closing timing of the fuel supply valve 20 can be greatly improved.
