Abstract

An internal combustion engine includes: a combustion chamber surrounded by a cylinder bore wall, a piston crown part, and a cylinder head wall; a spark plug arranged at the cylinder head wall and having a spark generating part; and a partitioning wall part partitioning the combustion chamber into a main combustion chamber at which the piston crown part is exposed and an ignition chamber at which the spark generating part is exposed, the partitioning wall part being formed with a plurality of through holes connecting the main combustion chamber and the ignition chamber. The axes of the plurality of through holes are formed so that at predetermined regions from ignition chamber side opening parts of the plurality of through holes, the directions toward the ignition chamber side opening parts all are substantially the same.

Claims (17)

1. An internal combustion engine comprising:

a combustion chamber surrounded by a cylinder bore wall, a piston crown part, and a cylinder head wall;

a spark plug arranged at the cylinder head wall and having a spark generating part; and

a partitioning wall part partitioning the combustion chamber into a main combustion chamber at which the piston crown part is exposed and an ignition chamber at which the spark generating part is exposed, the partitioning wall part being formed with a plurality of through holes connecting the main combustion chamber and the ignition chamber,

wherein the plurality of through holes are formed so that, in a compression stroke, an air-fuel mixture in the main combustion chamber flows through the plurality of through-holes into the ignition chamber, and

wherein axes of the plurality of through holes are formed so that at predetermined regions from ignition chamber side opening parts of the plurality of through holes, directions, toward the ignition chamber side opening parts, of all of the through holes are substantially same and are parallel to each other.

2. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the axes of the plurality of through holes are formed so as to face a direction of the spark generating part at the predetermined regions.

3. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

middles of the plurality of through holes are bent.

4. The internal combustion engine according to claim 3 , wherein

the ignition chamber side opening part is positioned concentrically; and

the plurality of through holes are formed bent at substantially same angles in a direction away from a center axis of the ignition chamber.

5. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of through holes are formed so that lengths of the plurality of through holes are substantially equal.

6. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the axes of the plurality of through holes at the predetermined regions are parallel to a center axis of the ignition chamber.
