Abstract

In a combustion chamber structure in a direct injection type diesel engine, in order to prevent flames from flowing out to a quench zone Q from a combustion chamber (32) which opens to a top part (30a) of a piston (30) to thereby prevent cooling of the flames and also in order to prevent a fuel spray from being concentrated on a lower portion of the combustion chamber (32), the fuel spray should be reflected in the combustion chamber (32) effectively according to displacement of the piston (30) to allow it to be mixed with air sufficiently in the combustion chamber (32) or in a cylinder (28), and to this end there are provided a guide wall (34) which becomes larger in inside diameter downwardly from an opening edge portion (33) of the combustion chamber (32), as well as fuel reflection walls (36, 38) which project below the guide wall (34) toward a central axis (lo) of the combustion chamber (32) and divide the combustion chamber vertically into a first combustion chamber (44) and a second combustion chamber (48).
