2. Description of the Related Art In a four-stroke engine, the valve opening / closing timing is advanced and the valve closing timing is delayed in a high-speed region to prolong a valve overlap period (a period in which the intake and exhaust valves are simultaneously opened), thereby reducing the inertia effect of intake and exhaust. In order to increase the output of the engine by increasing the intake and exhaust efficiency, the valve opening time is delayed and the valve closing time is advanced in the low speed range, the valve overlap period is shortened, and exhaust recirculation and intake air blow-through are prevented. Accordingly, various variable valve timing valve operating devices have been conventionally proposed.

For example, in a valve opening / closing mechanism of a four-cycle engine described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-1707, filed by the present applicant, an eccentric shaft is eccentrically mounted in a camshaft in which a valve opening / closing cam is rotatably fitted. A plurality of rollers are disposed rotatably in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric shaft portion of the eccentric shaft, and these rollers pass through the respective roller holding windows provided on the camshaft, and are inserted into the camshaft. Projecting outward in the radial direction. An eccentric collar is fitted around the outer periphery of these rollers, and the eccentric shaft is rotated relative to the camshaft, so that the eccentric collar is eccentric to the camshaft via the eccentric shaft portion and the roller. ing. When the camshaft rotates,
This rotation is transmitted to the eccentric collar via an engagement protrusion slidingly contacting the radial groove of the eccentric collar integrally with the camshaft, and the eccentric collar rotates about its eccentric central axis, and the eccentric collar rotates. Is transmitted to the valve opening / closing cam via a cam-side engaging projection that is in sliding contact with another radial groove facing the radial groove on the same diameter, and the cam is connected to the camshaft. Rotate around the axis.
As a result, a periodic phase difference occurs between the rotation of the camshaft and the rotation of the cam for opening and closing the valve, and the state of occurrence of this phase difference changes according to the eccentric state of the eccentric collar.
By adjusting the amount of eccentricity of the eccentric collar according to the operating state of the engine, a desired rotational phase difference is generated between the camshaft and the valve opening / closing cam, so that the valve opening / closing timing can be appropriately adjusted. .

However, in this valve opening / closing mechanism, since the eccentric collar is supported on the eccentric shaft via the roller with its inner peripheral surface as the bearing surface, the bearing area is small, so a large bearing load acts, and the eccentric collar, the roller, the eccentric It affects the durability of the shaft.

Further, since the adjustment of the eccentricity of the eccentric collar is performed by the eccentric shaft penetrating the center of the camshaft,
It is difficult to apply the above-described valve opening / closing mechanism to a multi-cylinder engine in which many cams for valve opening / closing are provided on a camshaft.

JP-A-59-131715 discloses an engine camshaft drive mechanism in which an eccentric connection mechanism similar to the above is inserted in the middle of a cam drive shaft. In this mechanism, an eccentric disk corresponding to the eccentric collar is rotatably fitted to the inner peripheral surface of an annular yoke, and the eccentric disk is moved by moving the yoke in a direction perpendicular to the cam drive shaft. The amount of eccentricity is adjusted.

In this engine camshaft drive mechanism, the eccentric disk is surrounded and supported on its outer peripheral surface by the annular yoke, so that the bearing area is increased, which is advantageous in terms of the durability of the eccentric disk. However, since the adjustment of the amount of eccentricity of the eccentric disk is performed by linearly displacing the yoke in the diameter direction, a relatively large force is required to adjust the amount of eccentricity, and the amount of eccentricity is finely and continuously adjusted. It is difficult. Further, since the yoke receives forces in the radial direction and the rotational direction with the rotation of the cam drive shaft, it is necessary to firmly fix the yoke in opposition to this force. Gets crazy. Therefore, a mechanism for accurately setting the position of the yoke and firmly fixing the yoke is indispensable, and the structure is complicated and the size is increased.

Since the valve opening / closing device of the present invention is configured as described above, the rotation of the camshaft is transmitted to the eccentric plate via the engagement protrusion and the groove, and the eccentric plate is eccentric to the axis of the camshaft. And the rotation of this eccentric plate is further transmitted to the valve operating cam member through a similar groove and engagement projection,
The valve operating cam member rotates about the axis of the cam shaft. As a result, the rotational angular velocity of the valve operating cam member around the cam shaft changes periodically, and a fast phase in which the camshaft rotates faster and a slow phase in which the camshaft rotates later. However, since the relationship of the eccentric plate with respect to the cam shaft changes depending on the eccentric direction of the eccentric plate with respect to the cam shaft, the eccentric direction is adjusted, and the cam is appropriately advanced or retarded with respect to the cam shaft. In addition, the valve opening / closing timing can be adjusted as desired.

The adjustment of the eccentric direction is performed by rotating the collar member by a driving member, and the eccentric plate is rotatably supported on the entire outer peripheral surface by an inner hole of the collar member, and the outer peripheral surface is a bearing surface. Therefore, the bearing area is large, so that wear and seizure hardly occur and durability is improved. In addition, since the collar member is fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the receiving portion of the cam holder and is firmly held by the cam holder, the set eccentric state does not go wrong during operation. In addition, since the collar member is fixed by the cam holder and no special fixing member is required, the size and the size of the apparatus are simplified. Furthermore, since the adjustment of the eccentric state is performed by rotating the collar member, fine adjustment is possible, and the adjustment can be easily performed with a relatively small force.
