Direct injection spark ignition engine
A direct injection spark ignition engine comprises a cylinder, a piston, a fuel injector arranged at one side of a center axis of the cylinder for directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber, and a smoothly continuous lowered recess formed on a top surface of the piston surface. The recess has a first cross section along a first plane including the cylinder center axis and a nozzle end of the injector. The first and second lower contours are smoothly connected with each other through a lowest point of the first cross section. The first lower contour is located at the one side of the cylinder center axis. The second lower contour is at the other side. The first contour has a larger radius than a radius of the second contour. Accordingly, the fuel spray having greater movement energy may impinge the recess at a regulated impinging angle.
