Since the pressure is set to a very small lOkPa, the responsiveness is as high as about 1Z10 compared to the case where a high pressure is set using a mechanical regulator. A stable pressure state with little pressure fluctuation can be maintained. As a result, the supply line 44 and the combustion chamber 28 on the downstream side also have a highly responsive and stable pressure state. In other words, the pressure P2 can sufficiently follow the air leakage from the piston ring 26a, and the force can be kept stable without being affected by the difference in the shapes of the piston 26 and the piston ring 26a. .
- the pressure P2 applied to the combustion chamber 28 is very small, and the pressure received by the piston 26 is small, so that the piston 26 and the crank (not shown) in which the piston 26 does not move down or vibrate are applied.

- step S5 the rotation of the adjusting screw 18 and the flow rate Q are measured, and the process waits until the flow rate Q exceeds the threshold value Qthl by opening the valve 14. . It will be understood that if the pressure is constant (1.5 kPa), the flow rate Q increases as the valve 14 opens.
- step S107 the control waits until the flow rate Q falls below the threshold value Qth2 by closing the valve 14, and the rotation amount R of the servo motor 110 when the flow rate Q falls below the threshold value Qth2 Record 14 as the closed reference point, 0 point. Thereafter, steps S108 to S110 are sequentially executed.
- FIG. 12 shows the flow rate Q measured by the flow rate sensor 206 measured by the PLC 62 and the rotation amount R of the servo motor 110 as a graph.
- the relationship between the displacement amount X and the flow rate Q of the valve 14 is the force that draws a hysteresis curve due to the effect of backlash B etc. Displacement amount that becomes zero when the valve 14 is closed ⁇ By specifying, it is possible to perform highly accurate adjustment without the influence of backlash.
- the tappet clearance automatic adjustment device is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can of course adopt various configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.
