Directly injecting internal combustion engine
View Patent ↗A directly injecting internal combustion engine has at least one cylinder which has a combustion space and in which a piston executes an oscillating movement, and an injection nozzle for the injection of fuel into the combustion space. The piston has a piston recess which has in its central region an elevation extending in the direction of a cylinder head. A surface of the piston recess which adjoins the elevation in the direction of the recess edge is connected to the elevation via a radius so an injection jet impinging in this region and injected at the earliest possible time point is distributed both in the elevation direction and in the recess edge direction. The surface adjoining the elevation in that direction has an extent in that direction such that an injection jet injected at the latest possible time point impinges onto the surface and is distributed both in the elevation direction and in the recess edge direction.
1. A directly injecting internal combustion engine, comprising at least one cylinder which has a combustion space in which a piston executes an oscillating movement, and an injection nozzle for injection of fuel into the combustion space, wherein the piston has a piston recess, which, in a central region thereof, has an elevation extending in a cylinder head direction, and a surface of the piston recess adjoining the elevation in a recess edge direction is connected to the elevation via a radius so that an injection jet impinging the surface and injected as early as possible is distributed both in a elevation direction and in the recess edge direction, and the surface is substantially planar and has an ascending gradient in the recess edge direction such that an injection jet injected as late as possible impinges onto the surface, the last-mentioned injection jet being distributed both in the elevation direction and in the recess edge direction.
