Abstract:
A variable valve timing device includes a control valve for switching fluid communication among ports. The control valve includes a sleeve, a spool, a movable member, and resilient members. A first resilient member pushes the spool in both of the regions. A second resilient member acts on the spool via the movable member engaged with the spool in an advancing region. In a lock region, the movable member rests on the sleeve to enable the spool to move freely from the second resilient member. As a result, force acting on the spool can be restricted in the lock region. The movable member is supported from a radial inside by the spool and is radially distanced from the sleeve. As a result, it is possible to reduce a sliding resistance acting on the movable member.
