Valve opening and closing timing control device

A valve opening and closing timing control device comprising:

• a drive-side rotating body that rotates synchronously with a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine about a rotation axis;
• a driven-side rotating body that is disposed coaxially with the rotation axis and inside the drive-side rotating body, and rotates integrally with a camshaft for opening and closing a valve of the internal combustion engine;
• a phase adjustment mechanism that includes a plurality of gears for reducing a driving rotational force of an electric motor and sets a relative rotational phase between the drive-side rotating body and the driven-side rotating body;
• a lubricating oil supply unit that supplies lubricating oil to the phase adjustment mechanism from an outside;
• and
• an oil discharge control unit that performs oil discharge control of discharging lubricating oil by changing the relative rotational phase by driving the electric motor in accordance with stop control of stopping the internal combustion engine,
• wherein the oil discharge control unit performs the oil discharge control only when an outside air temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined value.
