INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH VARIABLE COMPRESSION RATIO

摘要

It has variable compression ratio mechanism (10) that changes engine compression ratio depending on the rotational position of first control shaft (14). First control shaft (14) and second control shaft, which is connected to a motor, are coupled together by lever (24) of coupling mechanism (20). First arm portion (25) of first control shaft (14) and one end of lever (24) are rotatably coupled together by first coupling pin (26). When viewed in the axial direction of this first coupling pin (26), at least at a given compression ratio position, first coupling pin (26) is arranged at a position away from bearing cap (30) that is for rotatably supporting first control shaft (14).
