摘要:
In a control apparatus, a discharge control unit controls an igniter unit so that a flow of current from a primary coil towards a ground side is blocked, thereby generating a high voltage in a secondary coil, and controls a spark plug so that the spark plug generates electric discharge. An energy input control unit controls an energy input unit so as to input electrical energy to an ignition coil after the start of control of the spark plug by the discharge control unit. A control unit and an abnormality detecting unit detects an abnormality in the igniter unit or the ignition coil based on a first threshold and a first current value that is a value corresponding to a current detected by a current detection circuit at this time, when a first predetermined period elapses after the start of control of the spark plug by the discharge control unit.

An ignition coil includes a center core, a first core member, and a second core member. The first core member includes a first core-facing portion facing a front core surface of the center core and a first core side portion extending rearward from the first core-facing portion. The second core member includes a second core-facing portion facing a rear core surface of the center core and a second core side portion extending frontward from the second core-facing portion. The first core-facing portion has an end surface contacting a portion of the second core side portion to create a first contact region. Similarly, the second core-facing portion has an end surface contacting a portion of the first core side portion to create a second contact region. The first and second contact regions are shaped to approach frontward close to the first core side portion. This structure enhances productivity of the ignition coil.

An ignition coil has primary and secondary coils, a central core and a pair of split cores. One of the split cores has a first opposing face orthogonal to a coil axial direction X facing a core front end face of the central core in the coil axial direction X. The respective split cores have second opposing surfaces mutually facing each other in a lateral direction Y at a rear end of the central core. At least one of the second opposing surfaces and one of rear end surfaces of the central core contacting the least one of the second opposing surfaces collectively constitute a pair of oblique surfaces and come to close to the other one of the second opposing surfaces in the lateral direction Y as a portion of each of the oblique surfaces recedes further from the first opposing face in the coil axial direction X.

A spark plug includes a tubular housing, a tubular insulator retained in the housing, a center electrode secured in the insulator with a distal end portion of the center electrode protruding outside the insulator, and an annular ground electrode fixed to a distal end of the housing. The housing has, at the distal end thereof, a small-inner diameter portion that has a smaller inner diameter than other portions of the housing. The annular ground electrode is arranged on a distal end surface of the small-inner diameter portion of the housing so that an inner circumferential surface of the ground electrode faces an outer circumferential surface of the distal end portion of the center electrode through a spark gap formed therebetween. The outer diameter of the ground electrode is less than the outer diameter of the distal end surface of the small-inner diameter portion of the housing.

In an ignition coil for an internal combustion engine, a resistor is disposed in a tower insertion hole of a high-voltage tower section. A coil spring is inserted in the tower insertion hole. An inner diameter of a proximal end side portion of the tower insertion hole is larger than an outer diameter of a maximum outer diameter portion of the resistor. An inner diameter of the distal end side portion of the tower insertion hole is larger than an outer diameter of a proximal end side portion of the coil spring, and is smaller than the outer diameter of the maximum outer diameter portion. In a state where the coil spring is pulled out from the tower insertion hole, the maximum outer diameter portion is restrained by the distal end side portion of the tower insertion hole, and a gap is formed between the resistor and a high-voltage cap.
