Internal combustion engine control device

摘要

An internal combustion engine control device which switches between a first operation of compression-igniting a premixed gas in a combustion chamber and a second operation of forcibly igniting the premixed gas through a spark plug in the combustion chamber. When switching between the first operation and the second operation, the control device inserts a transitional operation between the first operation and the second operation for the purpose of reducing torque variations in an internal combustion engine. In the transitional operation, the spark plug does not perform electric discharging, instead, the spark plug emits an electromagnetic wave to increase the temperature of the premixed gas, and subsequently, the premixed gas is compression-ignited.

主权项

1. An internal combustion engine comprising:
a spark plug; an microwave radiation unit for radiating an microwave to the combustion chamber; and an operation control unit for switching between a premix compression-ignition operation and a spark ignition operation according to an operation state of the internal combustion engine, wherein the operation control units insert a transitional operation between the premix compression-ignition operation and the spark ignition operation, and the microwave radiation unit emits a microwave to raise the temperature of the premixed gas during the transitional operation.
