Abstract: A variable valve characteristic mechanism has a valve operation cam pivotally supported on a camshaft and a driving mechanism rocking an interlocking mechanism around the camshaft, the interlocking mechanism rocking the valve operation cam by a driving cam integrated into the camshaft. The engine valve starts to open and close in a damping portion of the valve operation cam, and the driving mechanism rocks the valve operation cam via the interlocking mechanism, thereby controlling an opening timing and a closing timing of the engine valve. A cam swelled portion of the driving cam has a constant velocity portion in which a lift velocity is constant, and the constant velocity portion is provided over an angular width where the opening timing in a most advanced angle position of the opening timing of the engine valve and the opening timing in a most retarded angle position of the opening timing are included.

Abstract: An adjustable camshaft sprocket assembly includes a hub and a sprocket body secured to the hub. A stud-receiving opening is defined in one of the hub flange and the sprocket body, and a tool-receiving opening is defined in the other of the hub flange and the sprocket body. The tool-receiving opening is aligned with the stud-receiving opening is adapted to receive a body portion of an adjustment tool, and the stud-receiving opening is adapted to receive an eccentric stud of the adjustment tool. Either the stud-receiving opening or the tool-receiving opening is elongated. Rotation of the adjustment tool when its body is located in the tool-receiving opening and its eccentric stud is located in the stud-receiving opening causes relative angular movement between the hub and the sprocket body. One or more fasteners are used to immovably secure the sprocket body to the hub after adjustment. A tool includes cylindrical base, a driving head, and an eccentric stud. The stud comprises a spring pin press-fit into a bore.

Abstract: A cam sprocket 211 is driven to rotate by the drive force transmitted from a crankshaft 130 to by turn drive an eccentric plate 250 around an axis running in parallel with the axis of rotation of the cam sprocket 211. The eccentric plate 250 is movable from a position concentric with the cam sprocket 211 to an eccentric position. As it is driven to rotate at the eccentric position, it drives an intake cam block 240 by way of a variable camshaft 230 with a rotary phase difference that changes periodically relative to the cam sprocket 211. The intake cam block 240 drives an intake valve. The phase angle of the eccentric plate 250 at the connection section with the cam sprocket 211 and at the connection section with the movable camshaft 230 is s defined to be between 80° and 160° or between 200° and 290° when the direction in which the eccentric plate 250 rotates is assumed to be the forward direction.

Abstract: A method for controlling an engine having both an electronically controlled inlet device, such as an electronic throttle unite, and an electronically controlled outlet device, such as a variable cam timing system is disclosed. The method of the present invention achieves cylinder air charge control that is faster than possible by using an inlet device alone. In other words, the method of the present invention controls cylinder air charge faster than manifold dynamics by coordination of the inlet and outlet device. This improved control is used to improve various engine control functions.

Abstract: A device (1) for changing the timing of an internal-combustion engine (2) is provided that has a camshaft adjuster (5), which is supported on a non-rotating bearing journal (6). A driving wheel (8) of the camshaft adjuster (5) is driven by a crank-shaft (3) via a first traction mechanism drive (7). The rotation of the driving wheel (8) is transferred via an actuator (10) to a driven part (9), which is arranged so that it can rotate relative to the driving wheel (8). Second and third traction mechanism drives (11, 12) create a drive connection between the driven part (9) and two camshafts (4, 4a).
