  • Patent number: 10344729
    Abstract: A cylinder block including: a plurality of cylinders; a cylinder head attached on the cylinder block and including, for each of the cylinders, an intake port extending from a combustion chamber upward and obliquely relative to an axis of the cylinder; a direct injector disposed at a position on an outer side of the intake port in a cylinder radial direction and directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber; a port injector disposed at a position on a same side as the direct injector relative to the intake port, and injecting fuel into the intake port are provided. The intake port includes: a valve seat provided at an intake air inlet opened to the combustion chamber; and an arc portion protruding downward in a center area of the intake port on an upstream side of the valve seat, and an injection direction of the port injector is orientated in a direction in which the fuel injected from the port injector passes through a lower area of the arc portion.
