  • Patent number: 10578033
    Abstract: A control unit for an internal combustion engine is configured for allowing smooth operation of the internal combustion engine by increasing an intake amount while maintaining an opening timing of an intake valve constant, at the time of low-rotation, high-load state. A valve opening/closing timing control apparatus includes a phase adjustment mechanism configured to vary a relative rotational phase between a driving side rotary body rotatable in synchronism with a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and a driven side rotary body rotatable together with an intake cam shaft. After an opening timing of the intake valve, the relative rotational phase is displaced in the advancing direction.

  • Publication number: 20200018199
    Abstract: An oil supply device includes: an oil pump; an oil supply flow passage through which oil discharged from the oil pump flows; and an air mixing portion that cools a cooling object by mixing air into the oil supplied to the oil supply flow passage and supplying the oil mixed with the air to the cooling object.

  • Patent number: 10337417
    Abstract: A control unit for an internal combustion engine is configured for suppressing knocking phenomenon with reduction of overlap, while maintaining an opening timing of an exhaust valve at the time of low-rotation, high-load state. A valve opening/closing timing control apparatus includes a phase adjustment mechanism configured to vary a relative rotational phase between a driving side rotary body rotatable in synchronism with a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and a driven side rotary body rotatable together with an exhaust cam shaft. After an opening timing of the exhaust valve, an advancing operation is effected for displacing the relative rotational phase in the advancing direction relative to the opening timing.
