In short, one embodiment of the present of invention as shown in Figure 2, anti-rotation device 30 may be mounted at any one leaf
On piece 12.Here for convenience of description, be mounted with anti-rotation device 30 blade 22 can by mark reference 22A come with
Other blades 22 are distinguished.
For Fig. 1 and 2, anti-rotation device 30 can include stop pin component 40, multiple locked grooves 50, and locked groove part 40 is inserted
Insertion is located at blade 22A mounting hole 25, and locked groove 50 is located at claw plate 5, is allowed by the interconnection with stop pin component 40

In addition, working solution can be supplied to by blade 22A provided with the lock access 22b run through, lock access 22b from mounting hole 25
Lock chamber 26 or discharge working solution around export trade 43.Meanwhile, as shown in figure 4, multiple lock chambers 50 are constituted located at claw plate 5
Anti-rotation device 30, it is multiple that lock chamber 50 can be connected to connect, and each passes through the blade 25A mounting hole 25 opposed therewith
Provided with different depth and diameter.
That is, locked groove 50 can be set as, major diameter groove 51 and the connection of minor diameter groove 52 are formed with stepped section
Part 53.
But, as the improvement of the present invention, the locked groove 50 with major diameter groove 51 and minor diameter groove 52 can be located at housing
At 10.
Meanwhile, device can include apocenosis passage 60, the apocenosis passage when stop pin component 40 carries out phase adjustment operations
60 close, and lock regular discharge locked groove 50 working solution to extraneous.As illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, apocenosis passage 60 can include first
The outage 62 of outage 61 and second, the first outage 61 with locked groove 50 located at claw plate 5 to be connected, and the second outage 62 leads to
Cross insertion blade 22A to be communicated with the outside, while with the first outage 61 being connected.
But here, unlike full-size(d) or section, the size and relative position of locked groove 50, the first outage 61 and
Two outages 62 can be artificial combination, amplification or increase, and being mutually connected for corresponding stop pin component 40 is explained for convenient
Lock relation.
Now, the operation of the valve timing adjustment device according to an embodiment of the invention thus set will be explained.
When engine shutdown or startup, opened by the way that device can be run without individually control in predeterminated position to improve
During dynamic performance, or when there is the uncontrollable state of emergency in internal combustion engine operation, stop pin component 40 must be in no list
Solely self locks to prevent rotating shaft 20 from relatively rotating for housing 10 during control.
When internal combustion engine is turned off or by emergency shutdown, also to control door 8 can in the state of position -1 as shown in Figure 2 with
The control signal of response controller (not shown).
Therefore, hydraulic pump P feed path S is blocked, and all delay chamber 15a, advance chamber 15b and lock chamber 26
Working solution connected via apocenosis passage D1, D2 by port 21a, 21b, 21c to drain tank T.Such as, when hydraulic control door 8
When changing to such as -1 state of Fig. 2 positions, while blade 22A is located at full delay phase angle, blade 22A will be by coming from camshaft
1 negative torque rotates a predetermined angle.
Now, because working solution also becomes resistance in delay chamber 15a and advance chamber 15b, locking performance can be reduced.Separately
Outside, when negative torque is acted on, injection advance chamber 15b working solution becomes resistance, and the working solution in delay chamber 15a pass through it is quiet
The effect of pressure becomes resistance.
In this state, the state of position -1 in Fig. 2, delay chamber 15a and advance chamber are switched to when hydraulic control door 8
15b is connected to drain tank T.As a result, by introducing outside air into advance chamber removal negative pressure, being removed by discharging working solution
Act on delay chamber 15a malleation.Shown in state such as Fig. 4 (a).
That is, when the pressure release of working solution due to spring 42,44 elastic export trade 43 and it is domestic 45 it is corresponding under
Drop.Now, export trade 43 and domestic 45 bottom and the intimate surface contact of claw plate 5, to allow self-locking operation to start.
In Fig. 4 (a) states, when negative torque is sent into blade 22A by camshaft 1 via rotating shaft 20, blade 22A
Predetermined angle is turned to along direction (B directions) in advance.Thus, only domestic 45 understand individually by the flexibility decrease of inner spring 44, or
Export trade 43 also can make it be inserted into major diameter groove 51 by the flexibility decrease of outer spring 42, to allow bottom to be in stepped portion 53
It is in close contact, shown in its described state such as Fig. 4 (b).
Therefore, all export trades 43 and domestic 45 are hooked on the left side wall part of the major diameter groove 51 of bottom, by
This blade 22A is changed on retarding direction being immovable ratchet running status.
Under this operating process, because apocenosis passage 60, i.e. the first and second outages 61,62 are partially communicating, notes
The part for entering the working solution of locked groove 50 is discharged to the external world, does not thus have resistance for lock operation.
In order, it is only interior when extra negative torque is applied on blade 22A by camshaft 1 via rotating shaft 20
Pin 45 individually can be by the flexibility decrease of inner spring 45, or export trade 43 also can be small to be inserted into by the flexibility decrease of outer spring 42
Diameter groove 52.Now, as shown in Fig. 2 because the first and second outages 61,62 are full communicating, the works in locked groove 50
The external world is discharged to as liquid.Therefore, the bottom of export trade 43 and the lower surface of minor diameter groove 52 are in close contact, the shape as shown in Fig. 4 (c)
State.
Here, the bottom of export trade 43 is hooked on the right wall part of major diameter groove 51 and the left side in minor diameter groove 52
Right wall part, thus blade 22A is changed into lock-out state, wherein section can not prolong direction in advance or retarding direction movement.Knot
Fruit is that stop pin component 40 is changed into being reliably connected with the locked groove 50 of claw plate 5, and rotating shaft 20 can be simultaneously with housing into rotation, simultaneously
Prevent the relative rotation relative to housing 10.
Below, by explain using the positive-torque of camshaft 1 realize self-locking operate, while blade 22A be in it is right in space 15
In anticipated future position, i.e., for delay chamber 15a sides, deviation position.
Now, general positive-torque is more than negative torque, therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, and self-locking operation is once realized, is made
It is changed into A directions with the action direction with blade 22A positive-torque, it is opposite with the direction (B directions) of negative torque.
That is, when positive-torque be used to allow blade 22A to be rotated up a predetermined angle, stop pin component in A side
40 export trade 43 and domestic 45 also cross locked groove 50 major diameter groove 51, insertion minor diameter groove 52 is locked, such as Fig. 4 (c) institutes
The state shown.
Now, when preset time past tense after internal combustion engine start is by idling of IC engine, hydraulic control door 8 passes through control
The control signal of device processed is switched to position -2 as shown in Figure 3, and it is used to allow the state in internal combustion engine in initial steady
Part maintains one section of shortest time after starting.That is, it is necessary to which preset time reaches complete water filling, because in internal combustion
The starting starting state working solution of machine is not charged into delay chamber 15a and advance chamber 15b completely.
At this time, although hydraulic control door 8 allows working solution to be supplied to delay chamber from hydraulic pump P in Fig. 3 position -2
15a and advance chamber 15b, stop pin component 40 such as Fig. 4 (c) be maintained at lock-out state because lock chamber 26 by apocenosis passage D1,
D2 and drain tank T connections.
Meanwhile, when internal combustion engine start enters normal operating condition, the valve timing of inlet valve and exhaust valve must be adjusted
Whole, therefore, the lock-out state of Fig. 4 (c) stop pin component 40 must be released.
So, the position -4 that hydraulic control door 8 is switched to Fig. 3 is made by the control signal of controller.Thus, from hydraulic pressure
Pump P to delay chamber 15a and advance chamber 15b working solution supply are blocked, and working solution sequentially passes through fore shaft 2e, lock access 21c
Lock chamber 26 is supplied to oily passage 22b.
As a result, export trade 43 and domestic 45 correspondingly compression spring 42,43 with the pressure of responsive operation liquid, and be changed into be in phase
For the maximum propradation of upper end cover 41.At this moment, at due to elastic domestic 45 bottom and the surface of claw plate 5 of inner spring 44
In the state tight contacted between, the state as shown in Fig. 5 (a) and Fig. 5 (b).
Here, the situation that Fig. 5 (a) is shown is that the blade 22A that same stop pin component 40 is installed is in full advanced phase angle
Position, and the blade 22A that the situation of Fig. 5 (b) displays is the logical installation of stop pin component 40 is in full delay phase Angle Position.
Therefore, the blade 22A installed with stop pin component 40 can be rotated between delay chamber 15a and advance chamber 15b, profit
With acting on the moment of torsion of blade 12 and adjust the valve timing of air inlet or exhaust outlet from camshaft 1.
First, when the control signal by controller makes hydraulic control door 8 be switched to Fig. 3 position -3, control in advance
Operation starts.That is, working solution is sent to advance chamber 15b, while working solution is sent to lock chamber 26 from hydraulic pump P, and prolong
Slow room 15a connects with drain tank T-phase, allows working solution to discharge.Therefore, blade 22 is in direction in advance (B directions) or retarding direction
(B directions) is freely controlled relative to housing 10, to respond negative torque or positive-torque by camshaft 1, by convex
Wheel shaft 1 adjusts the valve timing of inlet valve or exhaust valve
Meanwhile, when the control signal by controller makes 8 times of hydraulic control door be switched to Fig. 3 position -5, delay control
System operation starts.
That is, working solution is supplied to delay chamber 15a, while working solution is supplied to lock chamber 26 from hydraulic pump P, and carry
Cup 15b even allows working solution to discharge with drain tank T-phase.Therefore, blade 22 is in direction in advance (B directions) or in retarding direction
(A directions) is any relative to housing 10 controlled, to respond negative torque or positive-torque by camshaft 1, by convex
Wheel shaft 1 adjusts the valve timing of inlet valve or exhaust valve.
The explanation done as more than, embodiments of the invention are that hydraulic control door is embedded in rotating shaft to reduce the damage of working solution
Lose, susceptibility becomes accurate, lock assembly is realized by using the hydraulic control door with multiple control positions with high reliability
Locking and release operation, the performance of internal combustion engine is improved by adjusting valve timing.

It will also be recognized by those skilled in the art that described embodiment can be improved or changed with different methods, it is all these
Improve or change the thought or scope all without departing from the present invention.
Such as, although embodiments of the invention illustrate rotating shaft 20 equipped with 4 blades 22, and the quantity of blade 22 can be selected
Three quantity or other quantity are designed as, to respond the type of internal combustion engine or the working characteristics of internal combustion engine.
In addition, although embodiments of the invention illustrate the blade 22A only one of which installed with stop pin component 40, but it
Can also be two blade 22A, each is installed with stop pin component 40, in rotating shaft 20.
In addition, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), as the improvement of the present invention, export trade can be divided into top and bottom, be divided into ring 43a
With base ring 43b, the tolerance thus accumulated can be applied to outer shroud 43a outside, and the tolerance control of stop pin component 40 is relaxed with this
System.
Simultaneously, although embodiments of the invention illustrate the rotating shaft 20 installed with stop pin component 40 and existed provided with locked groove 50
