Abstract

PURPOSE:To suit valve timing to engine operation conditions by arranging gears with spiral teeth between a timing pulley and a cam shaft and moving the gears by means of a hydraulic cylinder toward the cam shaft. CONSTITUTION:A spiral teeth 13A are formed on the inside of a timing pulley 13 revolvably arranged with a cam shaft, and spur teeth 11A are formed near the tip of the cam shaft 11. A moving gear 12 having spur teeth 12 on its inside and spiral teeth 12B on its outside is provided to engage with the teeth 11A, 13A. The moving gear 12 is operated by a hydraulic cylinder 15 to which oil pressure is applied through a control valve 19 controlled by a control unit 20 acting in compliance with an engine operation conditions, and the axial position of the cam shaft 11 can be therefore established so that a variable valve operation timing can be set in compliance with the engine operation conditions.

In the above configuration, the moving gear is caused to reciprocate in the axial direction by the hydraulic cylinder. When the movable gear slides back and forth, the timing pulley performs an angular displacement according to the sliding position of the movable gear via the helical teeth of the timing pulley that mesh with the helical teeth of the movable gear. The sliding position of the moving gear is determined by the oil pressure applied to the hydraulic cylinder, and the oil pressure is controlled according to the operating state of the internal combustion engine.
[Effects of the Invention] Accordingly, in the present invention, the timing pulley can be displaced to a predetermined angle depending on the operating condition, and satisfactory torque characteristics and fuel efficiency characteristics can be obtained depending on the operating condition. Furthermore, since no hydraulic pressure is applied to the moving gear, there is no need to worry about oil leakage.
