PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a direct injection type internal combustion engine using a spray guide type combustion method capable of certainly energizing ignition even when fuel spray is dispersed. SOLUTION: The center electrode of an ignition plug 7 is arranged to be extended in a plug axis direction, the earth electrode of the ignition plug 7 is arranged to be opposed to a plug shaft direction orthogonal to the outer peripheral surface of the center electrode, and the plug axis direction is set in a direction (direction of variation in equivalence ratio) where the equivalence ratio of fuel spray directly injected from a fuel injection valve is changed large and small. Further, a discharge gap formed between the outer peripheral surface of the center electrode and the end surface of the end part of the earth electrode is formed by mixing a narrow gap and a wide gap so that ignition is energized according to supposition that the equivalence ratio within a discharge gap area varies. Therefore, even when fuel spray is dispersed, discharge is induced and ignition is energized in a position having the equivalence ratio to certainly energize ignition. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine including a means to irradiate a catalyst carrier with a laser beam to heat it, which can prevent the melt loss of the catalyst carrier while shortening a period of time of heating the catalyst carrier using the intense laser beam. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device is provided with an irradiation section 22 which irradiates the laser beam L at an up-stream side end face 21a of the catalyst carrier 21 so as to heat the same, and a laser beam oscillation section 24. During the heating by the laser beam, the surface irradiation of the upstream-side end face 21a of the catalyst carrier 21 is carried out by the laser beam L. The laser beam L is once concentrated at a position before the upstream-side end face 21a of the catalyst carrier 21, prior to being spread. The laser beam L in the spread state is made to irradiate the end face 21a. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser ignition device for an internal combustion engine in which a focusing position of an ignition laser-beam can be adjusted so as to positively ignite the air-fuel mixture. SOLUTION: Data on ignition-timing just before the ignition are input based on engine conditions and an ignition-control unit 21. An optimum position for focusing the ignition laser-beam is decided on the basis of the data and a prestored optimum focusing-position map. On the map of the optimum focusing-position, an optimum focusing-position is stored, which is decided on the basis of a concentration distribution of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber corresponding to the engine data, etc. A driving element 13 is driven so that an actual focus position agrees with the decided optimum position of the focusing position of the ignition laser-beam.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve ignitability during cold when conducting stratification operation, in a direct injection type engine. SOLUTION: It is decided (100) whether an engine is brought into stratification operation based on an engine load and the number of revolutions of an engine. When the engine is brought into stratification operation, the water temperature of engine cooling water is detected by a water temperature sensor (110). It is decided (120) whether the detected water temperature of engine cooling water is lower than a given temperature T1 at which combustion will not be completely evaporated. In case the water temperature is lower than the given temperature, the heater part of a glow plug formed integrally with and ignition plug is heated to temperature at which fuel is ignited (130).
