Title:
VARIABLE VALVE DEVICE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/157074
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A variable valve device (20) of an internal combustion engine (1) includes a variable valve timing mechanism (40) and a valve timing control mechanism (50). In addition, when the operating state of the variable valve timing mechanism (40) is in the phase-controlled state and the operating state of the variable valve timing mechanism (40) is changed to the phase cancelation state on the basis of the pressing of the gas pedal (2), a torque suppression control is then performed to suppress an increase in the torque of the internal combustion engine (1). With this control the rate of increase of the torque is set less than the rate of increase of the torque corresponding to the operation of pressing the gas pedal (2) by retarding and correcting the ignition timing. Thus, when the operating state of the variable valve timing mechanism (40) is changed from the phase-controlled state to the phase cancelation state, the feeling of discomfort experienced by the driver can be reduced.
