Divided.

As a result, a high voltage of several tens of KV is generated between the discharge electrode 36 and the case 31, and a discharge occurs between the discharge electrode 36 and the case 31.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an equivalent circuit of the igniter 3.

- C1 corresponds to the coupling capacitance, and mainly the positional relationship between the second center electrode 34 and the first center electrode 33 (distance between the electrodes and the area facing each other) and the material filled between the electrodes (in this example, It is determined by the ceramic structure dielectric 39b).
- the first center electrode 33 may be configured to be movable in the axial direction in order to easily adjust the impedance.
- the capacitance C2 is a grounded capacitance formed by the second center electrode 34 and the case 31, and is determined by the distance between the second center electrode 34 and the case 31, the facing area, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric 39c.
- the case 31 is made of a conductive metal and functions as a ground electrode.
- the reactance L corresponds to the coil component of the third center electrode 35.
- the capacity C3 is a discharge capacity formed by the third center electrode 35, the discharge electrode 36, and the case 31. This is because (1) the shape and size of the discharge electrode 36 and the distance between the case 31, (2) the distance between the third center electrode 35 and the case 31, and (3) between the third center electrode 35 and the case 31. It is determined by the gap (air layer) 37 provided, the thickness of the dielectric 39d, and the like. If C2 >> C3, the potential difference between both ends of the capacitor C3 can be made sufficiently larger than V1, and as a result, the discharge electrode 36 can be set to a high potential. Furthermore, since C3 can be reduced, the area of the capacitor can be reduced.
- the capacitance C3 is substantially determined by the portion of the third center electrode 35 and the case 31 that face each other across the dielectric 39d. In other words, the capacitance C3 can be adjusted by changing the length of the gap (air layer) 37 in the axial direction.

As a result, discharge occurs between the discharge electrode 36 and the ground electrode (case 31). When the discharge voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the gas molecules in the vicinity, electrons are emitted from the gas molecules, non-equilibrium plasma is generated, and the fuel is ignited.
- the igniter 3 is advantageous for downsizing.
- the igniter of the present invention is superior to a conventional igniter having a resonance structure (for example, Patent Document 2).
- the control device 41 controls the injection timing and injection pressure (injection size) of the injector 1 and controls the microwave generator 42.

- the igniters 3B, 3C, and 3D are discharged in this order, and the points B, C, and D are sequentially ignited.
- four igniters may be discharged simultaneously, but in this case, four microwave generators 42 are required, and the system becomes expensive.
- the period for performing the discharge necessary for ignition is not a long period. Therefore, in the present embodiment, one microwave generator 42 is used, and the igniters to be discharged are sequentially switched and used.

- the igniter 3 since the igniter 3 is driven by microwaves, discharge is also performed at a cycle of microwaves (GHz). Therefore, since the next discharge is performed before the generated radicals are killed, the generated OH radicals are maintained without being killed. On the other hand, since the conventional spark plug cannot turn on / off the spark at a high frequency, the radical generated once is immediately killed. Therefore, when a conventional spark plug is used, the above-described effects cannot be achieved. In this way, the use of the igniter 3 makes it possible to realize the multipoint ignition as described above.

- the igniter 3 is arranged on the central axis of the casing 64, and two injectors 61 are arranged adjacent to this. *
- the injector 61 is of a miniaturized type because it is integrated with the igniter 3. Since the fuel injection amount decreases due to the downsizing, the injector unit 61 uses a plurality (two) of injectors to compensate for this.
- a plurality of igniters are further inserted into the insertion holes of the cylinder head 21.
- an igniter 3A is provided at point A between the intake ports 24, and an igniter 3B is provided at point B between the exhaust ports 26.
- a total of five igniters are arranged at points C and D between the port 24 and the exhaust port 26, respectively.
- FIG. 9 is an example of control performed by the control device 41.
- the igniter 3 is controlled to discharge, and the central portion of the combustion chamber 28, which is also a portion where the injector 1 is provided, ignites.
- the igniters 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D are discharged in this order, and the points A, B, C, and D are ignited sequentially.
- This embodiment also realizes multipoint ignition, shortens the flame propagation distance, shortens the initial combustion period, shortens the main combustion period, stabilizes, and the like.
- each igniter is sequentially ignited according to the control of the control device 41.
- each igniter may be ignited sequentially by using a reflected wave from the igniter 3.
- the matching of the internal impedance of the igniter 3 is broken at this moment, and a reflected wave is generated. That is, the microwave flows backward from the front end portion (amplification / discharge portion 3c) to the rear end portion (input portion 3a). Utilizing this property, the reflected wave can be guided to each igniter 3 in order and the reflected wave can be effectively utilized.
- the igniters 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D are connected (electrically) in series, the igniter 3B uses the reflected microwave from the igniter 3A as a power source, and the igniter 3C receives the reflected microwave from the igniter 3B. It can be realized by a method of using as a power source. Thereby, the timing control by the control apparatus 4 becomes unnecessary. Further, if it is attempted to control each igniter 3 using a single power source, it is difficult to switch at high speed. However, if this property is used, microwaves to be ignited at high speed can be switched.
- the present embodiment is applicable not only to compression ignition type internal combustion engines but also to spark ignition type internal combustion engines such as gasoline engines.
- the igniter 3 is not limited to the above, and other types such as a corona discharge plug (for example, EcoFlash (registered trademark of BorgWarner)) may be used.
- a corona discharge plug for example, EcoFlash (registered trademark of BorgWarner)
- EcoFlash registered trademark of BorgWarner
- an igniter capable of continuous discharge at a high frequency is preferable in order to achieve the effects shown in the above embodiment.
- igniter 3 is assumed to operate by microwaves, it may be one that uses electromagnetic waves having other bands.

Description
等の気体燃料を用いるディーゼルエンジン等の圧縮着火式内燃機関、及びガソリンエンジン等の火花着火式内燃機関に関する。
図1は、ディーゼルエンジン10の構成を示す図である。このディーゼルエンジン10は、本発明の圧縮着火式内燃機関の一例である。エンジン本体部に関しては、一部断面の正面断面図で示している。ディーゼルエンジン10のシリンダヘッド21には、CNG燃料を燃焼室28に噴射するインジェクタ1が挿入される。
図6は、第2実施形態に係るディーゼルエンジン100の構成を示す図である。エンジン本体部に関しては、一部断面の正面断面図で示している。ディーゼルエンジン100のシリンダヘッド21には、CNG燃料を燃焼室28に噴射するインジェクタと、その燃料を点火するためのイグナイタを含むインジェクタユニット6が挿入される。
上記実施形態では、制御装置41の制御にしたがって、各イグナイタにより順次点火させていた。これに対し、イグナイタ3からの反射波を利用することにより、各イグナイタを順次点火させるようにしてもよい。イグナイタ3の放電電極36で放電が行われると、この瞬間にイグナイタ3の内部インピーダンスの整合が崩れ、反射波が生じる。つまり、マイクロ波が先端部(増幅/放電部分3c)から後端部(入力部分3a)に逆流する。この性質を利用して、反射波を順次各イグナイタ3に導き、反射波を有効に活用することができる。つまり、イグナイタ3A、3B、3C、3Dを(電気的に)直列に接続ようにし、イグナイタ3Bは、イグナイタ3Aからの反射マイクロ波を電源として使用し、イグナイタ3Cはイグナイタ3Bからの反射マイクロ波を電源として使用する、といった方法により実現できる。これにより、制御装置4によるタイミング制御が不要になる。また、単一電源を用いて各イグナイタ3を制御しようとすると、高速の切り替えが難しいが、この性質を利用すれば、高速で点火させるマイクロ波を切り替えることができる。なお、本実施形態に関しては、圧縮着火式の内燃機関に限らず、ガソリンエンジン等の火花点火式の内燃機関にも適用できるものである。
