    Abstract: An ignition system is provided, in which a Zener diode is connected in parallel with a spark plug, to suppress torque variation from becoming large in an engine when deterioration of the spark plug is advanced. Specifically, the ignition system includes a secondary coil having an end connected to a center electrode of the spark plug via a connecting path. The connecting path is connected to a constant-voltage path having a grounded end and including the Zener diode. The time from when an ignition signal is switched off until when ignition timing occurs is measured for a plurality of times. The difference between a maximum value and a minimum value among the plurality of measurements is defined to be a variation range. A breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is adjusted based on requirements such as for rendering the variation range to be a predetermined time or smaller.

    Abstract: A control apparatus for an ignition system of an internal combustion engine which can appropriately judge deterioration of a spark plug is disclosed. The ignition system includes a spark plug and a Zener diode. These are connected in parallel. In the ignition system, a constant-voltage path whose one of two ends is grounded is connected to the connecting path which connects the center electrode of the spark plug to a secondary coil. The constant-voltage path includes a Zener diode and a resistor. In a case where electric current is detected at the resister in a term from the start of current supply to a primary coil to the end, the control apparatus judges the spark plug being deteriorated.

    Abstract: There is provided a spark plug for an internal combustion engine with a simple configuration capable of ensuring stable ignitability regardless of mounting posture to the internal combustion engine. The spark plug includes a housing, an insulator, a center electrode, and a ground electrode. The ground electrode includes an erecting part that is erected from a tip part of the housing to a tip side and an inclined part that is bent from the tip of the erecting part to the center electrode side to extend obliquely toward a tip side. An end edge of the ground electrode on an opposite side to the housing side is a tip of the inclined part. The erecting part satisfies w/t≤1, w≤1.9 mm, and t≤2.3 mm, where t is a dimension in an alignment direction of the erecting part and the center electrode, and w is a dimension in a width direction orthogonal to each of the alignment direction and a plug axial direction. An inclination angle θ of the inclined part with respect to the plug axial direction satisfies 30°≤θ≤60°.

    Abstract: A spark plug is provided which includes a cylindrical metal shell, a cylindrical porcelain insulator retained in the metal shell, a center electrode, and a ground electrode. The center electrode is disposed in the insulator with a head protruding outside a front end surface of the insulator. The ground electrode is joined to the metal shell and includes a gap-defining portion which faces a side surface of a side surface of the center electrode to define a spark gap and also faces the front end surface of the porcelain insulator to define a semi-surface discharge gap for burning off, for example, carbon deposits on the front end surface of the insulator.

    Abstract: A spark plug for an internal combustion engine includes a cylindrical metal shell, a center electrode, and a ground electrode. The center electrode has an end portion which protrudes outside an end of the metal shell. The ground electrode is joined at an end thereof to the metal shell and has an inner surface facing the end portion of the center electrode. The ground electrode has a maximum width W meeting a relation of 1.3≦W≦2.0. A distance d between the center of an end surface of the center electrode and the inner surface of the ground electrode on a plane extending through the center of the center electrode perpendicular to an axis of the spark plug is selected to meet a relation of W+0.525≦d≦1.07 W+0.66. This ensures the stability of ignitability of the spark plug.

    Abstract: A spark plug 1 has a center electrode 4 and a ground electrode 5 opposed to each other and causes a spark discharge to occur through application of a voltage between the center electrode 4 and the ground electrode 5. Moreover, the center electrode 4 has a columnar main chip 10 provided at a distal end thereof by welding via a fusion portion 12 and an annular auxiliary chip 11 surrounding the fusion portion 12. Consequently, when a spark discharge occurring from the center electrode 4 is blown to the downstream side by the influence of a gas flow in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, it is possible to suppress a cathode point from being formed in the fusion portion 12 since the fusion portion 12 is surrounded and thus protected by the auxiliary chip 11. As a result, it is possible to suppress wear of the center electrode 4, thereby extending the service life of the spark plug 1.

    Abstract: A spark plug has a housing, a pair of center and ground electrodes configured to define a spark gap therebetween, a guide member and an oblique surface. The ground electrode has a standing portion that stands distalward from a distal end of the housing. The guide member is configured to guide the flow of an air-fuel mixture in a combustion chamber of an engine to the spark gap. The guide member protrudes distalward from the distal end of the housing at a different circumferential position from the ground electrode. The oblique surface is formed at the distal end of the housing so as to be circumferentially positioned between the guide member and the standing portion of the ground electrode. The oblique surface is oblique to the axial direction of the spark plug so that the radial distance between the oblique surface and the center electrode decreases in the distalward direction.
