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 hydraulic pump driven by the crank shaft, a rotary phase varying means 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 means, a hydraulic control means disposed in the hydraulic line, an electronic control means adapted for controlling the hydraulic means and receiving output signals which are output by the first sensor and the second sensor at least, thereby operating the rotary phase varying means with the hydraulic control means under linear control. The electronic control means detects the rotary positions of the cam shaft and the crank shaft and operates the rotary phase varying means with the hydraulic control means under the linear control in order to establish an optimum valve opening and closing timing depending on engine conditions. Hence, the valve opening and closing timing control apparatus can establish the valve opening and closing timing at optimum and desired occasions, which distinguishes over the conventional digitized valve opening and closing timing.

A valve opening and closing timing control apparatus, comprising: an engine including a cam shaft and a crank shaft; a first sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of said cam shaft; a second sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of said crank shaft; a first hydraulic pump and a second hydraulic pump, each driven by said crank shaft, said second hydraulic pump being connected to an output of said first hydraulic pump; a rotary phase varying means disposed on said cam shaft and adapted for varying rotary phases of said cam shaft; a hydraulic line connecting said second hydraulic pump and said rotary phase varying means; a linearly controllable hydraulic control means disposed in said hydraulic line; an electronic control means adapted for controlling said hydraulic control means and receiving output signals which are output by said first sensor and said second sensor at least, thereby operating said rotary phase varying means with said hydraulic control means under linear control. A valve opening and closing timing control apparatus, comprising: an engine including a cam shaft, a crank shaft and an oil pan; a first sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of said cam shaft; a second sensor adapted for detecting rotary positions of said crank shaft; a hydraulic pump driven by said crank shaft for producing a discharge pressure; a rotary phase varying means disposed on said cam shaft and adapted for varying rotary phases of said cam shaft; a hydraulic line connecting said hydraulic pump and said rotary phase varying means; a linearly controllable hydraulic control means disposed in said hydraulic line for receiving the discharge pressure from said hydraulic pump and selectively opening to communicate the discharge pressure through the hydraulic line to the rotary phase varying means; a hydraulic pressure adjustment line connecting a portion of said hydraulic line between said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic control means to said oil pan; a hydraulic pressure adjustment valve disposed in said hydraulic pressure adjustment line for selectively relieving the discharge pressure; an electronic control means for controlling said hydraulic control means and receiving output signals which are output by said first sensor and said second sensor at least, thereby operating said rotary varying means with said hydraulic control means under linear control, said control means further comprising means for actuating said hydraulic pressure adjustment valve to relieve the discharge pressure when the hydraulic control means is closed.
