摘要:
The present invention has an object to make abnormal combustion of an internal combustion engine detectable by simple means at low cost. For this purpose, an abnormal combustion detecting device provided by the present invention uses a direct injection injector as means for detecting abnormal combustion. In the direct injection injector relating to the abnormal combustion detecting device, a sack chamber is provided at a tip end of a nozzle body, and a nozzle hole is formed to cause the sack chamber and a combustion chamber to communicate with each other. A needle is housed inside the nozzle body, and the sack chamber is opened and closed by the needle, whereby a fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber. The abnormal combustion detecting device detects lift of the needle from a closing position by, for example, a sensor, and determines that abnormal combustion occurs in the combustion chamber by the fact that lift of the needle is detected at a non-operational time of the direct injection injector.
