Patent ID: 7472678

Claim:
A combustion chamber shape of a direct injection type diesel engine having a combustion chamber formed in a recessed shape in a piston top wall and injecting fuel at a predetermined nozzle hole angle into the combustion chamber from a nozzle hole of a fuel injection valve having a nozzle hole center substantially on a cylinder center line, wherein a wall face of the combustion chamber includes: a conical mountain portion formed at a central portion in the combustion chamber and having such a slope angle and skirt end diameter that fuel spray does not collide with the mountain portion; a slope portion that inclines downward and outward from a skirt end of the mountain portion at a smaller angle than the slope angle of the mountain portion and with which the fuel spray collides; and a saucer portion which rises in an arc shape from an outer peripheral end of the slope portion to reach an outer peripheral end of the combustion chamber and with which the fuel spray collides. wherein, in the mountain portion, a ratio H2/H1 of a mountain portion height H2 from a combustion chamber bottom face to a combustion chamber depth H1 is 0.7≦H2/H1≦1.0, a ratio D1/B of a diameter D1 of a mountain portion top face to a bore diameter B is D1/B≦0.3, and a ratio D2/B of a diameter D2 of the skirt end of the mountain portion to the bore diameter B is D2/B0.5.
