摘要： The present invention makes it possible to favorably change valve-opening characteristics of a valve using a simplified configuration without leading to an increase in the number of components and also without causing an increase of friction due to sliding, in a valve operating apparatus for an internal combustion engine in which the valve-opening characteristics of the valve are variable.

摘要： During a fuel cut, a recommended reactivated cylinder and a reactivatable cylinder are determined based on the stopped positions of an intake valve and an exhaust valve (step 104). A fastest reactivatable cylinder is then determined based on the crank angle, from among the recommended reactivated cylinder and the reactivatable cylinder (step 108). Also, the rotating direction of a motor when a variable valve drive apparatus starts to be driven again when the fastest reactivatable cylinder is made the reactivated cylinder is also determined. When a reactivation command is output, operation resumes from the fastest reactivatable cylinder when the situation calls for rapid reactivation (step 124). When the situation does not call for rapid reactivation, operation resumes from the recommended reactivated cylinder (step 118).

摘要： The present invention provides a variable valve mechanism control device that is capable of reducing the power consumption and rating of an electric motor by allowing camshaft rotary inertia torque to reduce spring reaction force during a valve lift. Camshaft rotary inertia force is increased to a value not smaller than a predetermined value before the start of a valve lift. During the time interval between the instant at which the valve lift starts and the instant at which the maximum lift is provided, the spring reaction force of a valve spring is used as deceleration torque for the camshaft rotary inertia force. During the time interval between the instant at which the maximum lift is provided and the instant at which the valve lift terminates, the spring reaction force is used as acceleration torque for the camshaft rotary inertia force. The camshaft rotary inertia force cancels the spring reaction force so that motor torque generated during a valve lift is composed of counter-friction torque only.

摘要翻译： 本发明提供一种可变阀机构控制装置，其能够通过允许凸轮轴旋转惯性转矩降低气门升程期间的弹簧反作用力而能够降低电动机的功率消耗和额定值。 在阀提升开始之前，凸轮轴旋转惯性力增加到不小于预定值的值。 在阀提升开始的瞬间与提供最大升程的时刻之间的时间间隔期间，使用阀弹簧的弹簧反作用力作为凸轮轴旋转惯性力的减速扭矩。 在提供最大升程的瞬间与气门升程终止时刻之间的时间间隔期间，弹簧反作用力用作凸轮轴转动惯性力的加速转矩。 凸轮轴旋转惯性力抵消弹簧反作用力，使得在气门升程期间产生的电机扭矩仅由反摩擦力矩组成。

摘要： Provided is a variable valve operating apparatus for an internal combustion engine, which can switch, based on an actuation of a single actuator, operating characteristics of valves for a plurality of cylinders collectively and smoothly using a rigid member, while suppressing an increase in wear of a guide rail and reducing the number of delay mechanisms.A changeover mechanism to switch operating characteristics of valves for each cylinder of first and second cylinder groups is provided. The changeover mechanism includes link shafts as a rigid member which is displaced when being engaged with a helical guide rail as a result of the actuation of an electromagnetic solenoid. The changeover mechanism includes a delay mechanism, which delays the displacement of the second link shaft in a cylinder in which the valves are lifting when the electromagnetic solenoid is actuated, at some point in the link shafts between the first cylinder group and the second cylinder group.
