Abstract
A valve opening and closing timing control apparatus is disclosed, which includes an engine including a cam shaft and a crank shaft, a first sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of the cam shaft, a second sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of the crank shaft, a first hydraulic pump and a second hydraulic pump driven by the crank shaft, a hydraulic pressure switching valve disposed between a discharge port of the first hydraulic pump and a discharge port of the second hydraulic pump and communicating therewith, a rotary phase varying device disposed on the cam shaft and adapted for varying rotary phases of the cam shaft, a hydraulic line connecting the hydraulic pump and the rotary phase varying device, a hydraulic control device disposed iin the hydraulic line, and an electronic control device adapted for controlling the hydraulic device and receiving output signals which are output by the first sensor and the second sensor at least, thereby operating the rotary phase varying device with the hydraulic control device under linear control. The valve opening and closing timing control apparatus can establish the valve opening and closing timing at optimum and desir…
