Variable valve timing device

A variable valve timing device which changes a rotational phase of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft of an engine and changes opening and closing timing of at least one of an inlet valve and an exhaust valve actuated by a cam of the camshaft, a first motion gear to which a rotative power is transmitted from a crankshaft and a second motion gear which transmits the rotative power to the camshaft being independently rotatably arranged on a first shaft, a first variable gear meshed with the first motion gear and a second variable gear meshed with the second motion gear being integrally rotatably arranged on a second shaft spaced apart from and in parallel with the first shaft, setting being performed so that the number of teeth of the first variable gear and the number of teeth of the second variable gear are different from each other, a gear case which holds the second shaft and rotates the second shaft around the first shaft being provided, rotation control means which controls continuous rotation of the gear case being provided, the rotation control means being constituted of a sliced veneer provided on a side surface of the gear case, an arm whose front end is mutually rotatably connected to the sliced veneer, and an eccentric disc supporting rotatably a base end of the arm and rotating in synchronization with the crankshaft, the second shaft being rotated by the gear case to shift positions of the first and second variable gears, and, thus, to change the rotational phase of the second motion gear relative to the first motion gear and change the rotational phase of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft, and, at the same time, a base end of an arm being displaced by rotation of an eccentric disc of the rotation control means to continuously rotate the gear case in a clockwise direction or a counter clockwise direction, and, thus, to continuously change the rotational phase of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft.
