CVVT apparatus for engine
A continuous variable valve timing apparatus for an engine includes: a housing, a rotor installed to be rotatable relative to the housing and connected to a camshaft, a locking pin configured to restrict rotation of the rotor relative to the housing when pushed by an elastic force to move linearly and pass through a relatively rotating surface between the housing and the rotor, an elastic member installed to provide the elastic force, a valve bolt coupled to the camshaft through the housing and the rotor, wherein the valve bolt includes a release passage through which a release pressure provided through the camshaft is transferred to the locking pin via the rotor, and a valve means for selectively blocking or unblocking the release passage, and an actuator installed to actuate the valve means of the valve bolt according to an actuation displacement.
