A combustion chamber structure for an engine includes a combustion chamber where SI combustion by spark ignition and CI combustion by self-ignition are conducted. A crown surface includes a cavity recessed to have a bowl-shape; a pair of first raised portions having a mound-shape along a pent roof shape; and a second raised portion provided to protrude at a position orthogonal to a ridge extending direction of the pair of first raised portions. With a height of the first raised portion relative to a height position of a deepest portion of the cavity being represented as H1 and a height of the second raised portion being represented as H2, H1/H2 as a ratio of the height H1 of the first raised portion to the height H2 of the second raised portion is set to be in a range of 1.92 or more and 2.75 or less.

Combustion chamber structure for engine

A combustion chamber structure for an engine includes a combustion chamber where SI combustion by spark ignition and CI combustion by self-ignition are conducted. A crown surface includes a cavity recessed to have a bowl-shape, and a pair of raised portions. The cavity includes a bottom portion which is a lower region of the recessed part, the bottom portion having an outer circumferential edge which is circular in a top view. With a height of the raised portion relative to a height position of a deepest portion of the cavity being represented as H1 and a diameter of an outer circumferential edge of the bottom portion of the cavity being represented as D, H1/D as a ratio of the height H1 of the raised portion to the diameter D of the cavity is set to be in a range of 0.05 or more and 0.36 or less.
