Abstract
An intermediate phase adjustment apparatus of a CVVT includes check valves provided to prevent backflow of oil when the oil moves from one chamber to another chamber in order to secure a parking position of a lock pin in a CVVT of which an advance chamber and a retard chamber are formed between a rotor and a stator, and an oil inlet portion formed at the stator to correspond to inlet portions of the check valves, wherein an oil inlet portion provided at one chamber is formed larger than an oil inlet portion provided at the other chamber by a predetermined size, and the open angles of the check valves for making oil to flow into a chamber are increased, thereby preventing an offset occurrence by a cam torque.
Claims6
An intermediate phase adjustment apparatus of a CVVT of which an advance chamber and a retard chamber are formed between a rotor and a stator, comprising:
- first and second check valves provided in the rotor to prevent backflow of oil when the oil moves from one chamber to another chamber in order to secure a parking position of a lock pin;
- and
- a first oil inlet portion provided in the advance chamber and a second oil inlet portion provided in the retard chamber, wherein each of the first and second oil inlet portions corresponds to each inlet of the first and second check valves, respectively;
- wherein the second oil inlet portion provided at the retard chamber is larger than the first oil inlet portion provided at the advance chamber by a predetermined size, and an open angle of the second check valve for making oil to flow into the retard chamber is larger than an open angle of the first check valve for making the oil to flow into the advance chamber, thereby preventing an offset occurrence by a cam torque.
