Corresponding parts are shown with the same reference numerals. However, the oil supply path 39 provided in the rocker shaft 25 in the exhaust valve side valve driving means 20 is connected to the hydraulic supply 41 via a control valve 40e different from the control valve 40i of the intake valve side valve driving means 19. Thus, the intake valve side valve driving means 19 and the exhaust valve side valve driving means 20 can be switched independently of each other.

In addition, the control valve 40i of the intake valve side valve driving means 19 is switched to supply high oil pressure to the oil supply passage 39 in a state where the engine speed is lower than the control valve 40e of the exhaust valve side valve driving means 20. I do. In other words, the two intake valves 12a, 12b are in a high-speed operation mode by the high-speed cam 23 in a state where the rotational speed of the engine is lower than the exhaust valves 13a, 13b.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. During low-speed operation of the engine, the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic chamber 37 in the hydraulic connection switching mechanism 29 is kept low by the control valves 40i and 40e. In this state, the intake valve side valve drive means 19 and the exhaust valve side valve drive means 20 connect the first and second intake valves 12a, 12b and the first and second exhaust valves 13a, 13b to the low speed cams 22, The opening and closing operation is performed in a manner corresponding to the low-speed operation of the engine according to the shape of 24. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), an output characteristic curve L is obtained such that an output torque peak is obtained in the low speed operation range of the engine.

When the engine speed reaches a certain speed N1, the control valve
The high oil pressure is supplied to the oil supply passage 39 of the intake valve side valve driving means 19 by 40i, so that the intake valve side valve driving means 19 drives the two intake valves 12a and 12b at high speed as shown in FIG. 5 (a). It operates in the operation mode. On the other hand, in the exhaust valve side valve drive means 20, the control valve 40e is not switched, and the exhaust valve side valve drive means 20 continues to open and close both the exhaust valves 13a, 13b in a low speed operation mode. I have.

When the number of revolutions of the engine reaches a number of revolutions N2 greater than the number of revolutions N1, the control valve 40e of the exhaust valve side valve driving means 20 switches to supply high oil pressure to the oil supply passage 39, and the exhaust gas is exhausted. The valve side valve driving means 20 causes the two exhaust valves 13a, 13b to open and close in a high-speed operation mode. Therefore, in the high-speed operation range of the engine, both the intake valves 12a and 12b and both the exhaust valves 13a and 13b open and close in the high-speed operation mode, and the output characteristics such that the peak of the output torque is observed in the high-speed operation range of the engine. A curve H is obtained.

Thus, in the medium speed operation range where the engine speed is from N1 to N2, the intake valves 12a and 12b open and close in a high-speed operation mode, while the exhaust valves 13a and 13b open and close in a low-speed operation mode. Will work. Therefore, in such a medium speed operation range,
Exhaust gas recirculation will be suppressed compared to the high speed operation range,
The output can be improved by improving the combustion life in the combustion chamber 5, and the output can be prevented from dropping in the medium speed operation range as shown by the output characteristic curve M.

By the way, when trying to obtain the maximum output using the 0.5th order exhaust pulsation in consideration of the practical exhaust pipe length, when simultaneously switching the operation mode of the intake valves 12a, 12b and the exhaust valves 13a, 13b, Immediately before closing the exhaust valves 13a and 13b immediately after switching
The following exhaust pulsation often acts on the exhaust valve ports 7a and 7b,
While the scavenging efficiency decreases, as described above, the exhaust valves 13a,
When the high-speed operation mode is set after 13b, a decrease in the scavenging efficiency due to such primary exhaust pulsation can be avoided. Further, by setting the intake valves 12a and 12b to the high-speed operation mode earlier, the occurrence of intake choking can be prevented and the intake efficiency can be improved.

In addition, since the switching timing of the intake valve side valve driving means 19 and the exhaust valve side valve driving means 20 is shifted, the shock caused by the switching of the operation mode can be reduced as compared with the case of simultaneous switching.

In the above embodiment, the intake valve-side valve driving means 19 is switched to the high-speed operation mode at a lower speed than the exhaust valve-side valve driving means 20, but the reverse may be adopted. In this case, it is possible to improve the inflow speed of the air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber and improve the output in the engine middle speed operation range.

By the way, in order to improve the maximum output by utilizing intake pulsation (third or secondary) and inertia effect in consideration of a practical intake pipe length, the intake valves 12a and 12b and the exhaust valve 13 are required.
When the operation modes of the a and 13b are simultaneously switched, the 3.5th order (4.5 in some cases) immediately before the intake valves 12a and 12b are closed immediately after the switching.
In some cases, the intake pulsation acts on the intake valve ports 6a and 6b, and the intake efficiency is reduced. On the other hand, if the intake valves 12a and 12b are operated at a high speed with a delay as described above, Thus, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the suction efficiency due to such intake pulsation.

C. Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the intake valve side valve driving means and the exhaust valve side valve driving means are configured to be operable independently of each other, Since the engine operation states for switching from the low-speed operation mode to the high-speed operation mode are set different from each other, the switching shock can be alleviated, and the operation mode of the intake valve and the exhaust valve in the medium-speed operation range of the engine is reduced. The output can be improved by effectively utilizing dynamic effects such as pulsation and inertia due to the difference.
