- the first through passage 85a and the second through passage 85b are formed on the radially outer side surface of the inner rotor 3 so as to form a straight line along the direction of the rotation axis.
- the end of the first through passage 85a on the rear plate 21 side is configured to communicate with the rear plate passage 84 when the restriction member 5 is within the restriction releaseable range T.
- the end of the second through passage 85b on the front plate 22 side is connected to the discharge passage 85d.
- the supply path 85 c branches off from the boundary between the first through path 85 a and the second through path 85 b and communicates with the first fluid chamber 55.
- the discharge path 85d is formed in an L shape in a plan view on the surface of the inner rotor 3 on the front plate 22 side, and when the restricting member 5 is in a predetermined range on the advance side from the restrictable range T. Only, it is configured to communicate with a discharge hole 87 described later.
- the restriction communication passage 82 includes the rear plate passage 84, the first through passage 85a, and the supply passage 85c. Therefore, when the restriction member 5 is within the restriction releaseable range T, the rear plate passage 84 and the first through passage 85a communicate with each other, whereby the restriction communication passage 82 communicates with the first fluid chamber 55 and fluid. And the fluid pressure is applied to the first pressure receiving surface 5e to release the restricted state.
- the release communication passage 83 is a tubular passage formed in the inner rotor 3 and communicates with the advance chamber 41.
- the release-time communication passage 83 communicates with the first fluid chamber 55 to supply fluid from the advance chamber 41 when the restriction member 5 is retracted from the restriction recess 52 and is in a restriction release state. A fluid pressure is applied to the surface 5e to maintain the restriction release state.
- the supply passage 85c is connected to the first step portion at a timing when the release-time communication passage 83 communicates with the first fluid chamber 55.
- the communication with the first fluid chamber 55 is cut off by 5a. That is, the passage for supplying fluid to the first fluid chamber 55 is alternatively configured to be either the restriction communication passage 82 or the release communication passage 83.
- the fluid is discharged from the first fluid chamber 55 via a supply passage 85 c (a part of a drain oil passage 86 described later), and the release-time communication passage.
- the supply of fluid from 83 can be cut off.
- the fluid is supplied to the first fluid chamber 55 from both the restriction time communication path 82 and the release time communication path 83. It is configured. This is because the first fluid chamber 55 is temporarily sealed when any of the communication passages is not connected to the first fluid chamber 55 when switching between the restriction communication passage 82 and the release communication passage 83. This is to prevent the smoothness of the regulating / releasing operation of the member 5 from being impaired.
- the drain flow path 86 is a flow path for quickly discharging the fluid in the first fluid chamber 55 that becomes the movement resistance of the restriction member 5 when the restriction member 5 enters the restriction recess 52.
- the drain passage 86 includes a supply passage 85c, a second through passage 85b, a discharge passage 85d, and a discharge hole 87.
- the discharge hole 87 is formed so as to penetrate the front plate 22 in the direction of the rotation axis.
- the drain flow path 86 is configured to communicate only when the regulating member 5 is within a predetermined range on the advance side of the restriction releaseable range T, and is not communicated when the regulating member 5 is within the restriction releaseable range T. It is. With this configuration, when the rear plate passage 84 and the first through passage 85 a communicate with each other, the fluid supplied from the advance chamber 41 is prevented from being discharged through the drain passage 86 as it is.
- the unlocking flow path 88 is a tubular passage formed in the inner rotor 3 and communicates with the retardation chamber 42.
- the unlocking flow path 88 is a flow path for supplying the fluid from the retarded angle chamber 42 to the second fluid chamber 65, applying fluid pressure to the second pressure receiving surface 6 d, and retracting the lock member 6 from the lock recess 62. It is.
- the communication flow path 89 is a tubular passage formed in the inner rotor 3, and is in a state where the regulation is released and the lock member 6 is moved to the front plate 22 side to some extent, the first fluid chamber 55 and the third fluid chamber.
- 66 is configured to communicate with 66.
- the release communication path 83, the first fluid chamber 55, the communication flow path 89, and the third fluid chamber 66 communicate with each other, the fluid supplied from the advance chamber 41 to the first fluid chamber 55 is also supplied to the third fluid chamber 66. Therefore, the restriction release state and the lock release state can be maintained.
- Fig. 5 shows the state when the engine is started.
- the advance angle control is performed because the passage switching valve 72 is in the first position 72a.
- the restriction member 5 is outside the restriction release possible range T, no fluid is supplied from the restriction communication path 82 to the first fluid chamber 55.
- the release time communication passage 83 is not in communication with the first fluid chamber 55, no fluid is supplied to the first fluid chamber 55. Therefore, the locked state is maintained.
- Fig. 6 shows the state when the engine is switched to retard angle control in order to release the locked state after starting the engine.
- fluid is supplied from the retard chamber 42 to the second fluid chamber 65 via the lock release flow path 88, and the lock member 6 is withdrawn from the lock recess 62 to release the locked state.
- the regulating member 5 moves in the retarding direction within the regulating recess 52.
- the ECU 73 switches to advance angle control.
- the state at this time is shown in FIG. Since the rear plate passage 84 and the first through passage 85 a communicate with each other, the fluid is supplied from the restriction communication passage 82 to the first fluid chamber 55. Then, the restricting member 5 is withdrawn from the restricting recess 52 and the restricted state is released.
- the angle sensor detects that the restriction member 6 is in the relative rotation phase located within the restriction releaseable range T. Actually, the restricting member 6 may not reach the restriction release possible range T. In such a case, even if the advance angle control is switched, the restriction communication path 82 and the first fluid chamber 55 are not in communication with each other, so that no fluid is supplied to the first fluid chamber 55 and the restriction state is released. I can't.
- the angle sensor switches to advance angle control immediately after detecting that the restricting member 6 has reached the relative rotation phase located within the restriction releaseable range T.
- the restriction member 6 is configured to be surely positioned within the restriction release possible range T by continuing the retard control for a predetermined time from the detected time point. With this configuration, the restricted state can be reliably released.
- the sensor for detecting the relative rotation phase is not limited to the angle sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the camshaft, and other sensors can be used.
- FIG. 8 shows the state when the restriction release state and the lock release state are maintained by the advance angle control.
- Fig. 9 shows the state when the advance angle control is performed in the normal operation state.
- the advance angle chamber 41, the release communication path 83, the first fluid chamber 55, the communication flow path 89, and the third fluid chamber 66 communicate with each other, so that the restriction release state and the lock release state are maintained.
- the lead angle operates in the state where it is set.
- Fig. 10 shows the state when the retard control is performed in the normal operation state.
- the fluid is supplied from the retard chamber 42 to the second fluid chamber 65, the unlocked state is maintained.
- the regulating member 5 is urged by the spring 53 and comes into contact with the rear plate 21.
- the regulating member 5 slides on the surface of the rear plate 21, it does not hinder driving.
- the restricting recess 52 and the lock recess 62 are formed at positions shifted in the radial direction, the restricting member 5 does not enter the lock recess 62.
- FIG. 11 shows a state in which the discharge passage 85d and the discharge hole 87 communicate with each other by the advance angle control and the phase is rotated until the drain flow passage 86 functions.
- the restriction release state and the lock release state are maintained ("first state" in the present invention).
- the drain flow path 86 is in communication, when the restricting member 5 enters the restricting recess 52 in the next procedure, the fluid can be discharged from the first fluid chamber 55 and promptly set to the restricted state.
- FIG. 12 shows a state in which the restriction state is realized by switching to the retard angle control (“second state” in the present invention). If the retard angle control is maintained even after the restricting member 5 enters the restricting recess 52, the restricting state is released when the restricting member 5 is positioned within the restriction release possible range T and is next switched to the advance angle control. End up. For this reason, after entering the restricted state, it is necessary to switch to the advance angle control before the restricting member 5 is positioned within the restriction releaseable range T and the rear plate passage 84 and the first through passage 85a communicate with each other. .
- the first state, the second state, and the third state can be freely switched by the advance / retard angle control. For this reason, even if the operation of the regulating member 5 and the lock member 6 is not performed as expected and the locked state is not achieved, the advance / retard angle control can be repeated to realize the locked state again. Therefore, the locked state can be achieved during engine operation.
- the restriction release enabling phase D is a phase corresponding to the restriction release enabling range T.
- the angle sensor detects that the restriction release enabling phase D has not been reached, if the actual relative rotation phase has reached the restriction release enabling phase D, switching to advance control (point p) will exceed the lock phase C. Move relative to the advance side. Then, the ECU 73 determines that the locked state has not been realized, and switches to the retard control (q point). Switching to the next advance angle control (point r) is on the lock phase C side by a predetermined interval x from the point p. However, since the r point also belongs to the restriction cancelable phase D, the locked state cannot be realized and the control is switched again to the retard control (s point).
- control is switched to advance angle control at a phase on the lock phase C side by a predetermined interval x from the point r (point t). Since the point t is not included in the restriction releaseable phase D, the restricted state can be realized, and then the locked state can be realized.
- the locked state can be reliably realized by executing the retry control while shifting the phase to be switched to the advance angle control to the lock phase C side by a predetermined interval x.
- the switching phase to advance angle control may be determined based on the detection angle of the angle sensor.
- the predetermined interval x does not always have to be constant, and may be set so as to gradually increase or decrease.
- the restriction mechanism 50 is disposed on the retard side relative to the lock mechanism 60, but may be disposed on the advance side. At this time, by replacing “advance angle” and “retard angle”, the locked state can be realized before the engine is stopped, as in this embodiment.
- the present invention realizes a locked state before the engine is stopped by controlling the restriction mechanism and the lock mechanism during engine operation, and eliminates the need for a dedicated switching valve for controlling the restriction mechanism and the lock mechanism. It can be used for an opening / closing timing control device.

Abstract
Description
弁開閉時期制御装置1は、不図示のエンジンのクランクシャフトに対して同期回転する駆動側回転部材としての外部ロータ2と、外部ロータ2に対して同軸上に配置され、カムシャフト9と同期回転する従動側回転部材としての内部ロータ3とを備えている。
相対回転位相を最遅角位相から中間ロック位相までの範囲(以下、「規制範囲R」と称する)に規制する規制機構50の構成について、図3及び図4に基づき説明する。中間ロック位相とは、後述のロック機構60によってロックされるときの相対回転位相を指す。
相対回転位相を中間ロック位相にロックするロック機構60の構成について、図3及び図4に基づき説明する。ロック機構60は、主に段付き円筒形のロック部材6と、ロック部材6を収容するロック部材収容部61と、ロック部材6が突入可能となるようリアプレート21の表面に形成された円孔形状のロック凹部62とから構成される。
規制解除状態を実現するための規制解除流路は、規制時連通路82と解除時連通路83とを備えている。規制時連通路82は、後述するリアプレート通路84、第1貫通路85a及び供給路85cからなり、規制状態を解除するために第1流体室55に流体を供給する流路である。また、解除時連通路83は、規制部材5が規制凹部52から退出しているときに、規制解除状態を保持するために第1流体室55に流体を供給する流路である。
ドレン流路86は、規制部材5が規制凹部52に突入するときに、規制部材5の移動抵抗となる第1流体室55内の流体を速やかに排出するための流路である。ドレン流路86は、供給路85c、第2貫通路85b、排出路85d及び排出孔87からなる。排出孔87は、フロントプレート22を回転軸芯の方向に貫通するよう形成されている。
ロック解除流路88は、内部ロータ3内に形成された管状の通路であり、遅角室42と連通している。ロック解除流路88は、第2流体室65に遅角室42から流体を供給して、第2受圧面6dに流体圧を作用させ、ロック部材6をロック凹部62から退出させるための流路である。
連通流路89は、内部ロータ3内に形成された管状の通路であり、規制解除状態かつロック部材6がフロントプレート22の側にある程度移動した状態で、第1流体室55と第3流体室66とを連通するように構成されている。解除時連通路83、第1流体室55、連通流路89及び第3流体室66が連通すると、進角室41から第1流体室55に供給された流体が第3流体室66にも供給されるため、規制解除状態とロック解除状態を保持することができる。
以上説明した規制機構50、ロック機構60及び各流路を用いて、ロック状態を解除する手順について、図5~図8に基づき説明する。
次に、上述の手順により規制解除状態及びロック解除状態が実現され、通常の運転状態となったときの動作について、図9及び図10に基づき説明する。
最後に、まず規制状態とした後、ロック状態とする手順について、図11~図13に基づき説明する。
