Abstract:
A control device for an internal combustion engine includes a controller. The controller controls the relative rotation phase of the exhaust camshaft in accordance with the relative rotation phase of the intake camshaft. When a request for locking the relative rotation phase of the intake camshaft at an intermediate phase is generated, the controller controls the relative rotation phase of the exhaust camshaft such that the relative rotation phase of the exhaust camshaft is changed to a phase corresponding to the intermediate phase independently from the relative rotation phase of the intake camshaft.
Abstract:
A valve opening/closing timing control device includes a housing main body that includes an opening which opens to at least one side in a direction along a rotational axis and a cover plate closing the opening by making contact with an end surface of the opening, the drive side rotational body rotating synchronously with a crankshaft, and a driven side rotational body housed within the drive-side rotational body and defining an advance chamber and a retardation chamber relative to an inner peripheral surface of the housing main body, the driven-side rotational body rotating integrally with a camshaft and coaxially with the rotational axis. In addition, the housing main body includes a hard layer formed at least at the inner peripheral surface of the housing main body in a surface thereof excluding the end surface of the opening.
Abstract:
A valve timing control device is switchable between a first state in which a fluid is supplied to a communication flow path to lift a restriction by a restriction member and release a lock by a lock member, a second state in which the fluid is supplied to a retarded angle chamber to release the lock by the lock member and set the restriction by the restriction member, and a third state in which the restriction member is restricted and the lock member is locked without supplying the fluid to the communication flow path and supplying the fluid to the retarded angle chamber, and is configured such that the minimum cross-sectional area of an advanced passage for supplying the fluid to an advanced chamber is greater than the minimum cross-sectional area of a retarded passage for supplying the fluid to the retarded angle chamber.
Abstract:
To achieve an intermediate lock state in a short period when an engine is stopped and improve the accuracy of confirmation of the intermediate lock state, an engine valve timing control apparatus includes a variable valve timing mechanism configured to vary engine valve timing, and an intermediate lock mechanism configured to restrict relative rotation positions of a first and a second rotor of the valve timing mechanism at an intermediate lock position for starting the engine. Upon detection of an engine stop request, the valve timing mechanism and the intermediate lock mechanism are driven and controlled for establishing an intermediate lock state. When a predetermined period from detection of the engine stop request has expired without detecting the intermediate lock state within the predetermined period, an engine stopping process is executed. Even after the engine stopping process has been executed, monitoring of the intermediate lock state is continued.
