Abstract:
1. A gasket of an internal combustion engine, installed between a cylinder block and a cylinder head so that an opening of the gasket corresponds to a cylinder, allowing a piston to fit into the cylinder and reciprocates freely, such that the cylinder penetrates the cylinder block, and the cylinder head is assembled on an anti-crankcase side of the cylinder block to create a combustion chamber with the piston and the cylinder, the gasket of an internal combustion engine, comprising: a discharge line installed in an intermediate layer in a thickness direction, having an outer end exposed from an outer peripheral edge to be a first connection part and an inner end exposed from an inner peripheral edge around the opening to be an electrode, and configured such that discharge is generated between electrodes or the electrode and a ground member around it with voltage applied between first connection parts or the first connection part and the ground member; an antenna installed at least partly in the intermediate layer in the thickness direction at the inner peripheral edge around the opening to radiate electromagnetic waves into the combustion chamber; and an electromagnetic wave transmission line installed in the intermediate layer in the thickness direction, having an outer end exposed from the outer peripheral edge to be a second connection part and an inner end connected to the antenna, and guiding electromagnetic waves to the antenna; wherein the discharge line, the antenna, and the electromagnetic wave transmission line are electrically insulated from both surfaces of the gasket in the thickness direction.
