<p>Disclosed is a valve timing control device for setting up a locked state before the engine is stopped by controlling a limiting mechanism and a lock mechanism while the engine is operating. The valve timing control device comprises a separating section provided to a driven-side rotating member and separating the advance chamber and the retard chamber, a limiting member provided to the driven-side rotating member and capable of moving forward/backward with respect to a driving-side rotating member, a limiting recess section formed in the driving-side rotating member and limiting the relative rotational phase within a predetermined range when the limiting member fits thereinto, a lock member provided to the driven-side rotating member and capable of moving forward/backward with respect to the driving-side rotating member, a lock recess section formed in the driving-side rotating member and locking the relative rotational phase to a predetermined phase when the lock member fits thereinto, and a communication flow path capable of supplying fluid for releasing the limiting by the limiting member to the lock member and incapable of supplying fluid for releasing the lock by the lock member to the limiting member. The limiting member switches between communication and non-communication of the communication flow path.</p> |
