Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve stratified combustion performance of a direct injection type spark ignition engine. SOLUTION: A sub-port 9 arranged between and along two intake ports 2a and 2b, a control valve 10 cutting-off the two intake ports are arranged, and in the intake port 2a, a flow outlet port 9a from the sub-port 9 is arranged so as to be perpendicular to the fuel injection direction and face outside. This constitution forms an orthogonal tumble flow comprising the normal tumble flow moving toward the crown face of a piston from the intake valve side through the exhaust valve side turned at 90 deg. around the center axis of an ignition plug. Through this constitution, concentrated air-fuel mixture gathers and stagnates near an ignition plug when ignited, which provide excellent (stratified) combustion without scattering spraying (uniform spray distance and proper spray angle) to enable stable ignition.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a direct injection type spark ignition engine in which fuel is injected directly from a fuel injection valve into a combustion chamber to form an air-fuel mixture, and is ignited by an ignition plug to perform stratified combustion, the fuel injection valve is used for injection.

However, in such a conventional direct injection type spark ignition engine, the fuel injection period depends on the gas flow strength, back pressure, etc. depending on the operating conditions.
The ignition chance is determined from the relationship between the shape of the fuel spray and the position of the spark plug. For this reason, although the aim is to increase ignition chances by changing the ignition system and improve combustion stability under each condition, cycle fluctuations in stability due to variations in the fuel spray shape and the rich mixture distribution The deterioration cannot be prevented. That is, since the demand for spraying is very high, the robustness with respect to combustion stability is extremely low.
