    Abstract: A variable cam phaser has drive and driven members connected by helical splines of an annular phase control piston and a lash control piston, axial motion of which varies the angular phase relation between the drive and driven members. A single wave spring received in a groove in one of the pistons biases them apart to take up lash in the splines. A return spring biases the phase control piston to an initial phase setting. Pre-timing of the members is provided for by a driven (or drive) member comprising two components, a hub flange that supports the other member and a splined hub carried by and initially rotatable on a tubular protrusion of the hub flange. After assembly of the phasing mechanism, the hub is rotated on the hub flange to pre-time the initial phasing of the members. An end of the tubular protrusion is then deformed into a flange engaging an annular shoulder on the hub to lock the hub and hub flange members together and maintain the pre-timing. An annular cover is then installed and retained by a retaining ring to close a hydraulic pressure chamber and help support the members. Upon assembly to a camshaft, a center bolt clamps the cover, hub and hub flange to the camshaft and relieves the locking means from operational torque loads.

    Abstract: A cam shaft of an engine is provided with a timing change mechanism (VVT) which is driven by hydraulic pressure to alter the timing of a intake valve (valve timing). This VVT is controlled to change the valve overlap of the intake valve and an exhaust valve, thereby adjusting the suction and exhaust in and from a combustion chamber. To control the VVT, an electronic control unit (ECU) computes a target value for the valve timing in accordance with the running condition of the engine and controls the supply of the hydraulic pressure to the VVT based on the target value. The ECU determines the level of the actual hydraulic pressure given to the VVT. When the actual valve timing does not lie in a predetermined range with respect to the target value, the ECU determines that an abnormality has occurred in the VVT, and executes a predetermined fail safe routine. When the hydraulic pressure is equal to or smaller than a reference value, the ECU suppresses WT malfunction determinations.

    Abstract: A valve timing control device for an internal combustion engine. The device comprises first determination means for determining a first optimal value of the valve overlap period in the current engine operating condition, on the basis of the current engine speed and load, second determination means for determining a second optimal value of the valve overlap period in the current engine operating condition by reducing the first optimal value when the engine has not warmed up, and valve overlap period control means for controlling a valve overlap period using the first optimal value when the current degree of opening of the throttle valve is larger than a predetermined value, even if the engine has not warmed up. A back-flow of exhaust gas does not occur when the degree of the throttle valve is relatively large so that the valve overlap period at this time is made larger and a higher engine torque can be obtained to increase the trapping efficiency and the scavenging efficiency, even if the engine has not warmed up.

    Abstract: In a valve timing control device, when a camshaft is retained relative to a timing pulley, a hydraulic piston is applied with a force which moves it in a direction toward an advancing-side hydraulic chamber (i.e., in the direction to vary a valve timing to a delaying side) owing to reaction of the driving torque of the camshaft. This force causes fluid to leak out of the advancing-side hydraulic chamber, and the hydraulic piston is liable to move toward this hydraulic chamber. However, fluid of an amount corresponding to an amount of this leakage is supplied to the advancing-side hydraulic chamber by way of a control valve. Also, discharge of fluid from a delaying-side hydraulic chamber via the control valve is stopped. Thus, the movement of the hydraulic piston toward the advancing-side hydraulic chamber when the hydraulic piston is retained at a desired position is prevented. Therefore, the hydraulic piston can be stably retained at the desired position, and a desired valve timing can be maintained.

    Abstract: A variable cam phaser (VCP) is disclosed in various modifications. The VCP includes a piston responsive to pressure in a fluid chamber having an inlet orifice and a plurality of outlets including a first outlet and a plurality of second outlets. A valve slide is movable to cover said second outlets one after another to pressurize the fluid chamber to displace the piston against a return spring. Outer and inner splined slides are drivingly mated with an internal helical spline of a cylindrical body secured to a sprocket and an external helical spline of a stub shaft secured to a camshaft. The splined slides are disposed between the piston and the return spring. Thus, movement of the piston and splined slides assembly in response to pressurization or depressurization of the fluid chamber advances or retards the valve timing or phase angle of the camshaft relative to the sprocket.
