Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a control device for a hydraulic system having hydraulic actuators that operate upon receiving a supply of oil, and also to a valve timing control device for The valve timing of the internal combustion engine is controlled by using a variable valve timing mechanism as a hydraulic actuator. Background technique
[0002] Known conventional variable valve timing mechanisms disclosed, for example, in Patent Documents 1 to 6 vary the valve timing of an internal combustion engine by changing the phase angle of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft. A common variable valve timing mechanism includes a housing coupled to the crankshaft by a belt or chain and a vane assembly secured to the camshaft. The vane assembly is received in the housing to form a hydraulic chamber between the vane assembly and the housing. When oil is supplied to the hydraulic chamber with the oil supply amount controlled by the control valve, the vane ass...
