Abstract: A variable cam timing assembly (10) and method for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes a cam phaser (22) connected between an inner camshaft (12a) and an outer camshaft (12b) of a concentric camshaft (12). A torsional drive mechanism (14) connects between the cam phaser (22) and the inner camshaft (12a) for transmitting rotational torque. The torsional drive mechanism (14) permits adjustment for perpendicularity and axial misalignment of the inner and outer camshafts (12a, 12b), while maintaining a torsionally stiff coupling between the cam phaser (22) and one of the inner and outer camshafts (12a, 12b) of the concentric camshaft (12). The torsional drive mechanism (14) can be formed from one of a flexible shaft coupling (40), a transversely split driven gear (140), a transversely split sprocket ring gear (240), a transverse face spline gear (340), and a pin and slot combination drive (440).

Abstract: A camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine is composed of an adjusting gear designed as a triple-shaft gear, with a drive wheel which is driven from the internal combustion engine and via which the drive torque for the camshaft is introduced, of a gear output coupled fixedly in terms of rotation to the camshaft, and of a gear input wheel which is coupled to a drive motor and via which the adjusting torque causing the relative rotation between the drive wheel and gear output is introduced into the adjusting gear. The cam adjuster includes a failsafe mechanism which causes blocking of the adjusting gear and which, in the event of the absence of an adjusting torque to be introduced via the gear input wheel, acts upon a gear element located between the drive wheel and gear output.

Abstract: A valve timing controller has a driving rotor, a driven rotor, and a planet gear engaged with the driving rotor and the driven rotor to control a rotation phase of the driven rotor relative to the driving rotor by carrying out planet movement. The driven rotor has a contact surface in contact with a tip end of a chamfering portion of a camshaft, and a feed port passing through the driven rotor in an axial direction to introduce lubricant supplied from the camshaft into the driving rotor. The feed port has an outer edge part located on a radially outer side. The outer edge part, on a side adjacent to the contact surface, is located on a radially outer side of the tip end of the chamfering portion and is located on a radially inner side of an outer circumference part of the journal portion.

Abstract: Valve timing is held to a position close to a target value as much as possible while suppressing control errors of valve timing even though a crankshaft rotates in reverse. In an internal combustion engine which controls the valve timing by a variable valve timing mechanism (an electric VTC) driven by an electric motor, an intake valve timing is controlled after an output of an engine stop command such that: when the engine rotates in a forward direction, a real valve timing (a VTC real angle θr) detected by a sensor is converged to a target valve timing (a VTC target angle θtrg) advanced for the time of start; and when the engine rotates in a reverse direction, a manipulated variable of the electric VTC is set so that the VTC real angle θr is held to the VTC real angle θr detected just before the detection of the reverse rotation.
