    Abstract: A method for controlling valve timing of a continuous variable valve duration engine may include: classifying a plurality of control regions depending on an engine speed and an engine load; applying a maximum duration to an intake valve and controlling a valve overlap between an exhaust valve and an intake valve by using an exhaust valve closing (EVC) timing in a first control region; advancing an intake valve closing (IVC) timing and applying a maximum duration to the exhaust valve in a second control region; advancing the IVC timing and the EVC timing in a third control region; controlling the EVC timing in a fourth control region; controlling a throttle valve to be fully opened and controlling the IVC timing in a fifth control region; and controlling the throttle valve to be fully opened and advancing the IVC timing in a sixth control region.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and a method for controlling valve timing of a continuous variable valve duration engine, including: classifying a plurality of control regions based on engine load and speed; applying a maximum duration to an intake valve and a long duration to an exhaust valve in a first control region; maintaining a maximum valve overlap in a second control region; advancing intake valve closing (IVC) timing and exhaust valve closing (EVC) timing in a third control region; applying a short duration to the exhaust valve and controlling the IVC timing to bottom dead center in a fourth control region; controlling a throttle valve to be fully opened, and controlling the IVC timing to an angle after BDC in a fifth control region; and applying the long duration to the exhaust valve, and controlling the IVC timing to prevent knocking in a sixth control region.

    Abstract: A control method using a continuous variable valve duration apparatus implements a continuous variable valve duration apparatus which includes a wheel mounted on a camshaft and having a wheel key so as to control duration of an intake valve of an engine, a cam unit having a cam and a cam key, adapted such that the camshaft is inserted thereinto, and being disposed so as to vary relative phase of the cam with respect to the camshaft, an inner bracket connected with the wheel key and the cam key, a slider housing being adapted such that the inner bracket is rotatably inserted thereinto and disposed so as to move vertically with respect to the engine, a controller varying a position of the slider housing so as to adjust rotation center of the inner bracket, and a guide unit guiding motion of the sliding housing. The control method includes calculating a required air amount for maintaining idle rotation speed of the engine by the controller when the engine is an idle state; mapping a supplied air amount in accordance with duration of the intake valve or the exhaust valve by the controller; setting a target valve duration for supplying the required air amount of the engine by the controller; and controlling duration of the intake valve or exhaust valve according to the set target valve duration by the controller.

    Abstract: A method for controlling intake and exhaust valves of an engine includes: controlling, by an intake continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) device and an exhaust CVVT device, opening and closing timings of the intake valve and exhaust valves; determining, by a controller, a target opening duration of the intake and exhaust valves based on an engine load and an engine speed; modifying, by an intake continuous variable valve duration (CVVD) device and by an exhaust CVVD device, current opening and closing timings of the intake valve and/or exhaust valve based on the target opening duration; and advancing or retarding, by the intake and/or exhaust CVVD devices, the current opening timing of the intake and exhaust valves while simultaneously retarding or advancing the current closing timing of the intake and exhaust valve by a predetermined value based on the target opening duration.
