    摘要: In an internal combustion engine with two cylinder banks, each cylinder bank having a cylinder head mounting thereon a valve operating device enabling both valve timing and valve lift characteristic to be varied, each valve operating device drives an engine valve through an eccentric cam, a substantially ring-shaped link, a rocker arm, a rod-shaped link, and a rockable cam, by rotation of a drive shaft. A control shaft varies the attitude of the rocker arm via a control cam by rotary motion thereof, in order to change a valve lift characteristic of the engine valve. As viewed in the same axial direction, a lifting direction of the rockable cam relative to a rotational direction of the drive shaft is the same in the two cylinder banks.

    摘要: In a VVA apparatus for an internal combustion engine wherein the position of contact of a cam face of a VO cam with respect to the top face of a valve lifter is changed in accordance with a change in a rocking fulcrum of a rocker arm to alter the valve lift, the maximum valve lift is obtained in a first rotated position of a control shaft where an axis of a control cam is adjacent to a driving shaft. The minimum valve lift is obtained in a second rotated position of the control shaft where the axis of the control cam is positioned near a first pivotal point of the rocker arm and a crank arm with respect to a first line connecting the axis of the control shaft and the axis of the control cam upon the maximum valve lift.

    摘要: A valve-operating device for an internal combustion engine equipped with two cylinder banks each having a variable valve timing and working angle mechanism comprises a drive shaft, a cylindrical hollow camshaft fitted to an outer periphery of the drive shaft to be rotatable relatively about the drive shaft, a non-uniform velocity coupling including an annular disc disposed between the drive shaft and the camshaft for transmitting motion of rotation from the drive shaft to the camshaft, permitting a phase change of the camshaft relative to the drive shaft with non-uniform rotation during eccentric motion of the annular disc, and a control housing rotatably supporting the annular disc. Also provided is a decentering mechanism supporting the control housing rockably to produce the eccentric motion of the annular disc. A locus of eccentric motion of the center of the annular disc arranged in the left bank and a locus of eccentric motion of the center of the annular disc arranged in the right bank are essentially symmetrical with respect to the line perpendicular to a line segment between and including two central axes of said drive shafts of the two cylinder banks. A direction of eccentric motion of the center of the annular disc arranged in the right bank is opposite to a direction of eccentric motion of the center of the annular disc arranged in the left bank.

    摘要: A valve operating system of an internal combustion engine enabling both valve working angle and phase to be varied, includes a variable working angle control mechanism being responsive to a supply pressure of working fluid to adjust a working angle of an intake valve, and a variable phase control mechanism being responsive to a supply pressure of working fluid to adjust a phase of the working angle of the intake valve. A control unit controls the supply pressure to each of the control mechanisms depending on engine operating conditions. In a cold-engine state that the temperature of working fluid is below a predetermined temperature, an intake valve open timing is retarded in comparison with a predetermined stability-limit valve open timing, by limiting a controlled variable of at least one of the control mechanisms.
