[0035] The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of piston, the combustion system comprising the piston and the engine comprising the combustion system to promote fuel and air mixing, accelerate combustion speed.

[0036] Wherein, the combustion system further includes cylinder liner and injector, cylinder liner is equipped with piston hole, two pistons movable along its axial direction are arranged in piston hole, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the piston includes piston body 100, the piston body 100 has top surface 130, the top surface 130 of two pistons is oppositely arranged along the axial direction of piston, and the combustion chamber is surrounded by two pistons and the inner circumferential wall of piston hole between two pistons.

[0037] The top surface 130 is provided with two combustion pits 110, and the top surface 130 is provided with two combustion pits 110 symmetrically distributed about the first preset plane 30, the two combustion pits 110 are arranged on the two sides of the first preset plane 30 at intervals, and the central axis of the piston body 100 is located on the first preset plane 30.

[0038] The combustion system further includes two injectors, which are arranged between the two pistons along the axial direction of the piston, and the two injectors are arranged one by one corresponding to the two combustion pits 110 of each piston, and the injector is used for injecting fuel into the corresponding combustion pit 110. Exemplarily, the two injectors are symmetrically arranged about the first preset plane 30, the projection of the injection end of the injector on the plane where the top surface 130 is located is the injection projection, and the injection projection is located in the projection of the corresponding combustion pit 110 on the plane where the top surface 130 is located.

[0039] It should be noted that, Figure 2 In the two black dashed boxes, the position of the two injectors is shown; Figure 3 The dashed arrow in the figure shows the flow direction of the fuel in the combustion pit 110.

[0040] One end of the combustion pit 110 extends to the outer circumferential wall of the piston body 100, the inner wall of the combustion pit 110 is convexly provided with a ridge 120, the ridge 120 extends along the circumferential direction of the combustion pit 110, and the two ends of the ridge 120 extend to the outer circumferential wall of the piston body 100, and the ridge 120 is located between the lowest point of the combustion pit 110 and the intersection line between the combustion pit 110 and the top surface 130.

[0041] Each combustion chamber is provided with a combustion pit 110, and the two combustion pits 110 are symmetrically and spacedly arranged about the first preset plane 30 to avoid the fuel injected into the corresponding combustion pit 110 from colliding, and to avoid the problems of local fuel over-concentration and local fuel over-dilution in the combustion chamber; by arranging a ridge 120 on the inner wall of the combustion pit 110, and arranging the ridge 120 between the lowest point of the combustion pit 110 and the intersection line between the combustion pit 110 and the top surface 130, the fuel injected into the corresponding combustion pit 110 by the injector is guided by the ridge 120 to promote the mixing of fuel and air, improve the air utilization rate in the cylinder, and accelerate the combustion speed.

[0042] In some embodiments, the combustion pit 110 is formed by rotating a preset generatrix about a preset axis 10 by a preset angle, the preset angle is greater than 180°, a second preset plane 40 perpendicular to the first preset plane 30 intersects with the outer peripheral wall of the piston body 100 to form two preset axes 10, and the central axis of the piston body 100 is located in the second preset plane 40; the two preset axes 10 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the two combustion pits 110, and the combustion pit 110 and the corresponding preset axis 10 are located on the same side of the first preset plane 30; the preset generatrix has at least one arc ridge 20, so that the inner wall of the combustion pit 110 forms the above-mentioned ridge 120. By such arrangement, the structure of the combustion pit 110 can be simplified, the shape of the combustion pit 110 can be made to conform to the development trend of the flame, and the combustion effect can be improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 along the radial direction of the combustion pit 110, the minimum distance between the intersection point of the combustion pit 110 and the top surface 130 and the corresponding preset axis 10 is c, and D / 3≤c≤D / 2, where D represents the cylinder diameter. If c is greater than D / 2, the two combustion pits 110 will intersect, and the fuel in the two combustion pits 110 will collide. If c is less than D / 3, the development path of the flame in the combustion pit 110 will be too short, and the fuel cannot be fully burned. By limiting D / 3≤c≤D / 2, the two combustion pits 110 can be spacedly arranged on the basis of extending the development path of the flame in the combustion pit 110 as much as possible, and the two combustion pits 110 can be prevented from intersecting. It should be noted that c can be selected from any one of 8D / 24, 9D / 24, 10D / 24, 11D / 24 and 12D / 24.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the maximum depth of the combustion pit 110 is f, where 0.2c ≤ f ≤ 0.3c. If f is greater than 0.3c, the combustion pit 110 will be too deep, which is not conducive to the mixing of air and fuel near the top surface 130 of the piston body 100; if f is less than 0.2c, fuel may be ejected from the combustion pit 110. By limiting the value to 0.2c ≤ f ≤ 0.3c, the fuel can be made to burn within the combustion pit 110, preventing the flame from being ejected from the combustion pit 110; at the same time, the uniformity of air and fuel mixing is also taken into account. It should be noted that f can be selected from any one of 0.2c, 0.21c, 0.22c, 0.23c, 0.24c, 0.25c, 0.26c, 0.27c, 0.28c, 0.29c, and 0.3c. Preferably, f = 0.25c.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, for any preset generatrix, the arc ridge 20 furthest from the corresponding preset axis 10 is the first arc ridge; along the radial direction of the combustion pit 110, the minimum distance between the end of the first arc ridge closest to the preset generatrix and the corresponding preset axis 10 is b, where 0.2D < b < 0.3D, and D represents the cylinder diameter. If b is less than or equal to 0.2D, it may cause the fuel jet injected into the combustion pit 110 by the injector to cross; if it is greater than or equal to 0.3D, it will reduce the guiding effect of the first ridge 120 on the fuel, which is not conducive to promoting fuel and air mixing. By limiting 0.2D < b < 0.3D, it is possible to avoid the crossover of the fuel jet injected into the combustion pit 110 by the injector while improving the guiding effect of the first ridge 120 on the fuel, thus promoting fuel and air mixing within the combustion pit 110. It should be noted that b can be any one of 0.21D, 0.22D, 0.23D, 0.24D, 0.25D, 0.26D, 0.27D, 0.28D, or 0.29D.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, 1.1b ≤ c ≤ 1.3b ensures a suitable distance between the bottom of the first arc ridge and the combustion pit 110, and between the piston top surface 130, guaranteeing the guiding effect of the first ridge 120 on the fuel. It should be noted that c can be any one of 1.1b, 1.15b, 1.2b, 1.25b, and 1.3b. Preferably, c = 1.2b.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, for any combustion pit 110, the arc ridge 20 closest to the corresponding preset axis 10 is the second arc ridge. Along the axial direction of the combustion pit 110, the minimum distance between the end of the second arc ridge near the top surface 130 and the top surface 130 is d, where 0.2b≤d≤0.4b. For example, each combustion pit 110 is provided with two arc ridges 20.

[0048] If d is less than 0.2b, the distance between the second arc ridge and the top surface 130 is too small, and the fuel flows out of the combustion pit 110 under the flow guiding effect of the second arc ridge; if d is greater than 0.4b, the distance between the second arc ridge and the top surface 130 is too large, and the fuel near the top surface 130 is poorly guided. By limiting 0.2b≤d≤0.4b, the flow guiding effect of the second arc ridge on the fuel can be effectively ensured, and the mixing effect between the fuel and the air near the top surface 130 can be improved. It should be noted that d can be selected as any one of 0.2b, 0.25b, 0.3b, 0.35b, and 0.4b. Preferably, d=b / 3.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 along the radial direction of the combustion pit 110, the distance between the highest point of the second arc ridge and the corresponding preset axis 10 is a, a<b<c, e<d<f, so that in the direction from the lowest point of the combustion pit 110 to the top surface 130, the combustion pit 110 has a substantially stepped structure.

[0050] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 4 and Figure 5 along the axial direction of the piston body 100, the minimum distance between the end of the second arc ridge near the top surface 130 and the top surface 130 is e, 0.4d≤e≤0.6d. In this way, the distance between the second arc ridge and the top surface 130 can be avoided to be too large or too small, and the flow guiding effect of the second arc ridge on the fuel can be effectively ensured, and the mixing effect between the fuel and the air near the top surface 130 can be improved. It should be noted that e can be selected as any one of 0.4d, 0.45d, 0.5d, 0.55d, and 0.6d. Preferably, e=0.5d.

[0051] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 each injector is provided with two groups of injection holes, each group of injection holes includes at least two injection holes, the center axis of one group of injection holes intersects with the inner wall of one of the combustion pits 110, and the center axis of the other group of injection holes intersects with the inner wall of the other combustion pit 110. In this way, the same injector can simultaneously inject fuel into the corresponding two combustion pits 110.

[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1 the center axis of the multiple injection holes of each injector projects a preset projection on a third preset plane, the multiple preset projections are distributed circumferentially around the preset axis 10 of the combustion pit 110, and the third preset plane is perpendicular to the axial direction of the piston. In this way, the projections of the multiple injection holes of the same injector on the third preset plane can be staggered, and the fuel in the two combustion pits 110 corresponding to the same injector can be avoided to cross. It should be noted that for the same injector, Figure 1The medium gray fuel jet is injected into one corresponding fuel pit, while the black jet represents fuel injected into another corresponding combustion pit 110.

[0053] For example, each set of injection holes has two injection holes, and the preset projections of the two sets of injection holes of the same injector are arranged alternately around the preset axis 10 in the circumferential direction to improve the uniformity of the fuel injected into each combustion pit 110.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the piston is at top dead center, the central axis of the injection hole intersects with the second arc ridge of the corresponding combustion pit 110, so that the second arc ridge achieves a better flow splitting effect.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
