    Abstract: A variable valve operating system of an internal combustion engine comprises a first variable mechanism 1 capable of variably controlling a lift characteristic of an intake valve 12, and a second variable mechanism 2 capable of variably controlling a valve-open and/or valve-close timing characteristic of the intake valve. The first variable mechanism varies an oscillating position of an oscillating cam 17 via a transmission mechanism 18 by controlling a rotational position of a control shaft 32 by an electric motor 34. On the other hand, the second variable mechanism is constructed to change a phase by axially moving a ring gear 43 by way of hydraulic-pressure supply or release to and from first and second hydraulic pressure chambers 49 and 50 so as to produce relative rotation between a timing sprocket 40 and a drive shaft 13. At the initial state of engine starting, the system operates to drive only the first variable mechanism. Therefore, by using an energy source for the first variable mechanism separated from an energy source for the second variable mechanism, in presence of a failure in one variable mechanism, it is possible to prevent the engine performance from lowering, and also to enhance the engine startability.

    Abstract: A control apparatus and method for a variable valve mechanism operated by an oil pressure by a variable displacement pump that is capable of varying its capacity. A control apparatus and a control method for a variable valve mechanism, by which deterioration of fuel efficiency and deterioration of operability can be suppressed, is provided. When controlling the variable valve mechanism that is operated by the oil pressure by a variable displacement pump, the control gain of the variable valve mechanism is changed, according to the capacity switching condition or the capacity switching operation of the variable valve mechanism. Driving the variable valve mechanism dependent on an actual hydraulic pressure state is enabled by changing the control gain of the variable valve mechanism in response to switching of the variable displacement pump, so that deterioration of fuel efficiency and operability can be inhibited while suppressing overshoot and response lag.

    Abstract: An internal-combustion engine includes a three-way, three-position solenoid valve, having an inlet communicating with a pressurized-fluid chamber and with a hydraulic actuator of an intake valve, and two outlets communicating with an actuator of another intake valve of a cylinder and the exhaust channel. The solenoid valve has a first position, in which the inlet communicates with both outlets, a second position, in which the inlet communicates only with the outlet connected to the actuator of the intake valve and a third position, in which the inlet does not communicate with any of the two outlets. During at least part of an active stroke of a tappet, the solenoid valve is kept in the third position to render the first intake valve active. During the active stroke of the tappet, the solenoid valve is never brought into the second position so that the second intake valve always remains closed.

    Abstract: A main lock member is fitted in a main lock bore at a main lock phase for closing an intake valve at a timing later than a timing when a piston reaches a bottom dead center, whereby a rotation phase is locked. In a subordinate lock mechanism, the rotation phase is locked at a subordinate lock phase advancing further than the main lock phase. In a lock control mechanism, a temperature sensing body is changed to an expanded state, whereby a moving member is latched at a first position in which the main lock member is allowed to be fitted in the main lock bore, whereas at a main lock phase in a cold stop state after a timing when the temperature of the stopped internal combustion engine becomes less than a preset temperature, the temperature sensing body is changed to a contracted state.
