[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a direct injection type internal combustion engine in which fuel is directly injected into a combustion chamber for combustion.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A direct injection type internal combustion engine is known as an internal combustion engine (diesel engine) in which fuel is directly injected into a combustion chamber for combustion.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, a conventional direct injection type internal combustion engine of this type is provided in a cylinder head 4 and a combustion chamber 3 defined as a cavity which is appropriately recessed in a top portion 2 of a piston 1. A fuel injection nozzle 5 for injecting fuel into the lever combustion chamber 3 is provided. A peripheral side wall 6 of the combustion chamber 3 is provided at the tip of the fuel injection nozzle 5.
Is formed so as to oppose each other, and fuel from a fuel pump (not shown) is injected at a predetermined pressure. Further, the shape of the fuel spray L matches the shape of the combustion chamber 3, so that the fuel is evenly distributed in any direction as much as possible. The injected fuel is appropriately mixed with the air taken into the combustion chamber 3, ignited from the tip side of the spray L (near the peripheral side wall 6), and the combustion proceeds to the center (near the fuel injection nozzle 5). Thus, the desired combustion can be obtained.

In order to mix the spray L and air well to obtain good combustion, various structures have been proposed for producing appropriate turbulence (swirl, squish) in the air in the combustion chamber 3.

[0005]

By the way, recently, in order to completely atomize the fuel and obtain combustion with low smoke and particulates, the injection pressure is made as high as possible. However, if the injection pressure is excessively increased, uniform combustion is not performed, and there is a problem that NO _X is generated due to high temperature combustion or excessive pressure rise.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, smoke, at the same time as the reduction of particulates, it was conceived to provide a direct injection internal combustion engine which can reduce the NO _X. As a conventional technique related to the present invention,

The cavity 11 has a circular shape in plan view,
The bottom surface 19 is formed so that it is deepest in the vicinity of the peripheral side wall 12, monotonically inclined upward toward the center, and becomes shallowest at a position directly below the fuel injection nozzle 18. The peripheral side wall 12 and the inner peripheral wall 14 are separated by a predetermined distance, and the outer combustion chamber 20 surrounding the inner combustion chamber 13 is defined between them.

The inner peripheral wall body 14 is formed in a circular shape concentric with the peripheral side wall 12, and a part of the inner peripheral wall body 14 is cut out at four equal intervals. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a notch 21 is formed which is cut in a rectangular shape from the upper end to the lower end.

The four first injection holes 16 of the fuel injection nozzle 18 are arranged so as to face the notch 21 and form the spray L ₁ which reaches the peripheral side wall 12 through the notch 21. Has become. Further, the second injection hole 17 has a cutout portion 21.
It is located toward the inner peripheral wall body 14 between. Therefore,
The second injection holes 17 and the first injection holes 16 are alternately added up at equal intervals.
It means that there are eight laps.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the second injection hole 17
Has an opening area smaller than that of the first injection hole 16 and forms a spray L ₂ which reaches the inner peripheral wall 14 and is ignited. Air-fuel ratio (air / fuel) also in the inner combustion chamber 13, similar to those in sub-chamber of the known pre-combustion chamber internal combustion engine, so that relatively fuel becomes darker, Sunawa
The fuel is set to have an air-fuel ratio that is richer than that of the outer combustion chamber 20 , and two-stage combustion is performed.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

At the timing when the piston 1 reaches the top dead center, fuel is injected from the injection holes 16 and 17 of the fuel injection nozzle 18 at a predetermined high pressure, and the spray L ₁ from the first injection hole 16 is reached.
Reaches the peripheral side wall 12 and is ignited in the vicinity thereof. At the same time, the spray L ₂ from the second injection hole 17 reaches the inner peripheral wall body 14 and is ignited. The gas in the inner combustion chamber 13 having a small air-fuel ratio is pushed out over the inner peripheral wall body 14 by the combustion pressure to become a total combustion, and a two-stage combustion without a sharp rise in the temperature gradient is performed and the unburned gas Are disturbed with the air together with the unburned matter in the outer combustion chamber 20, and the mixing is promoted. At this time, the exhaust gas is recirculated by the inclusion of the flame (burned gas), and the combustion temperature is lowered.

As described above, the inner combustion chamber 14 is erected in the cavity 11 to divide the double combustion chambers 13 and 20, and the fuel injection nozzle 18 having the injection holes 16 and 17 having different opening areas surrounds the combustion chambers 13 and 20. Since the fuel is injected to the side wall 12 and the inner peripheral wall body 14, the supplied fuel is simultaneously ignited radially outward and inward in the cavity 11, and is mixed by the two-stage combustion and flame blowing. Acceleration is made to achieve uniform and good combustion. That is, the reduction of smoke and particulates due to the high-pressure fuel injection and the reduction of NO _X are achieved. Then, due to the involvement of the flame, the internal EGR (Exhaust Gas)
Recirculation) acts, more of the NO _X reduction can be expected.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In this embodiment, the notch 33 of the inner peripheral wall 32 of the combustion chamber 31 is formed by notching in a semicircular shape from the upper end (see FIG. 7). The size of the notch 33 corresponds to the size at the time when the spray L ₁ from the first injection hole 16 passes, and the action such as the two-stage combustion in the inner combustion chamber 13 is sufficiently exerted. You can do it.

Other constitutions and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment, and therefore, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the above first and second embodiments,
Although the upper opening edges of the combustion chambers 15 and 31 are formed to rise substantially vertically, like a known reentrant combustion chamber,
You may make it provide a shelf. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, a configuration in which the shelf portion 42 is provided only on the inner peripheral wall body 41, a configuration in which the shelf portion 52 is provided only at the peripheral side wall 51 as shown in FIG. 9, and as shown in FIG. A configuration in which shelves 63 and 64 are provided on both the body 61 and the peripheral side wall 62 can be considered. These shelves 42, 52, 63, 64 form a squish (air turbulence in the axial direction) of a predetermined strength at the end of the compression stroke in each combustion chamber 13, 20.
The mixing of fuel and air is further promoted, which contributes to good combustion.

Further, in the above embodiment, the combustion chamber divided by the circular cavity is shown, but the present invention can be applied to the rectangular cavity 71 as shown in FIG. In this case, the inner peripheral wall body 72 can be connected in a square shape similar to the peripheral wall 73 of the cavity 71, and a cutout portion 74 is formed at a corner portion thereof. Therefore, the internal combustion chamber 75 is also divided into a rectangular shape. The spray supply by the fuel injection nozzle (not shown) can be performed in the same manner as in the above embodiment. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the circular cavity 1

With this structure, a part of the fuel is injected just below the fuel injection nozzle 84, collides with the upper surface 82 of the projection 83, and then is refracted substantially horizontally and scattered in the radial direction evenly. A horizontal spray L ₃ is formed. That is, atomization of the spray can be achieved without excessively increasing the injection pressure, and smoke and particulates can be reduced.

The other constructions and effects are the same as those of the second embodiment, so the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In this embodiment, a trapezoidal projection 91 similar to that of the third embodiment is provided in the central bottom portion of the inner combustion chamber 92 and faces the second injection hole 99 of the fuel injection nozzle 94.

Therefore, the spray L _{1 from} the first injection hole 97 directly reaches the peripheral side wall 12, and the spray L ₄ from the second injection hole 99 which is directed directly below is collided with the upper surface 93 of the projection 91. The groove 95 is guided so as to be bent in three directions and reaches the inner peripheral wall body 94. Then, the gas in the inner combustion chamber 92 is pushed out over the inner peripheral wall body 94 to become the whole combustion, and the two-stage combustion without a sharp rise in the temperature gradient is performed, and the unburned portion thereof is unburned in the outer combustion chamber 20. Agitated with air along with the minutes to promote mixing.

As described above, in this embodiment, the radial spray can be formed in the inner combustion chamber 92 by the single second injection hole 99, and the direction and the scale of the spray (width in the circumferential direction).

Position 102 displaced from the middle position of the inner peripheral wall body 94 to the upstream side
In addition, the most downstream groove 103 is located at the position 104 displaced to the downstream side,
The grooves 105 between them are respectively directed to the intermediate position 106, and the thickness (width) of the grooves is made narrower toward the downstream side so that a relatively large spray L ₄ is formed on the strong swirl side. . This properly promotes the mixing of fuel and air by the swirl S.

Other functions and effects are similar to those of the first and second embodiments.
