Abstract
A direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine includes a fuel injector for directly injecting fuel into a cylinder and intensifies a tumble flow using the fuel injected into the cylinder bore at a time near an intake stroke bottom dead center during homogenous combustion. The thrust force of the fuel injected from the fuel injector is set to intensify the tumble flow based on at least one of the state of the combustion chamber, the temperature of the injected fuel, and the orientation of the injection hole.
Claims23
A direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine that intensifies a tumble flow using a fuel injected toward a cylinder bore wall at a time near an intake stroke bottom dead center during homogenous combustion, comprising:
- a fuel injector that directly injects fuel into a cylinder,
- wherein thrust force of the fuel injected from the fuel injector to intensify the tumble flow during homogenous combustion is changed based on at least one of a detected or estimated temperature of a surface of the cylinder bore wall, a detected or estimated temperature of the injected fuel, and an orientation of an injection hole.
A fuel injection control method for a direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine that intensifies a tumble flow using a fuel injected toward a cylinder bore wall at a time near an intake stroke bottom dead center during homogenous combustion and that includes a fuel injector that directly injects fuel into a cylinder,
- wherein thrust force of the fuel injected from the fuel injector to intensify the tumble flow during homogeneous combustion is changed based on at least one of a detected or estimated temperature of a surface of the cylinder bore wall, a detected or estimated temperature of the injected fuel, and an orientation of an injection hole.
A direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine comprising:
- a fuel injector including a plurality of injection holes through which fuel is directly injected to a broad area in a cylinder, such that the fuel injected by each of the plurality of injection holes does not interfere with each other,
- wherein the fuel injected by the plurality of injection holes intensifies a tumble flow at a time near an intake stroke bottom dead center during homogenous combustion, and
- wherein thrust force of fuel injected from one of the plurality of fuel injection holes in a direction substantially parallel to a plane parallel to the tumble flow is made larger than thrust force of fuel that is injected from a second of the plurality of injection holes in a direction crossing the plane parallel to the tumble flow.
