Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2322770A1] Disclosed is a valve timing control apparatus capable of avoiding inadvertent realization of a locked state by effectively preventing pulsating pressure of fluid generated in association with torque variation of a cam shaft from having any effect on a fluid passageway used for lock releasing. The apparatus includes a first fluid passageway for feeding/discharging fluid to/from an advanced angle chamber, a second fluid passageway for feeding/discharging fluid to/from a retarded angle chamber, a third fluid passageway for feeding/discharging fluid to/from a locking mechanism capable of locking relative rotation between an inner rotor and an outer rotor, a first switching valve for controlling the feeding/discharging of the fluid to/from the first fluid passageway and the second fluid passageway, a second switching valve for controlling the feeding/discharging of the fluid to/from the third fluid passageway, a pump for feeding fluid to the first switching valve and the second switching valve, and a check valve for inhibiting communication of the fluid from the first switching valve to the second switching valve and allowing communication of the fluid from the second switching valve to the first switching valve.
