- the intermediate drive mechanism 11 has a cylindrical input part 21 and a cylindrical first swing cam 22 arranged on one side of the input part 21 in the axial direction of the input part 21.
- the input unit 21 includes a cylindrical second swing cam 23 disposed on the opposite side to the one side of the input unit 21 in the axial direction of the unit 21.
- Each of the input portion 21 and the oscillating cams 22 and 23 has a cylindrical through-hole extending in the axial direction about the axis thereof, and the support pipe 24 penetrates this through-hole.
- the input portion 21 and the swing cams 22 and 23 are supported by the support pipes 24, respectively, and can rotate around the support pipes 24, respectively.
- the support pipe 24 is fixed to the cylinder head 4.
- the support pipe 24 has a cylindrical through-hole extending in the axial direction about the axis thereof, and the control shaft 25 penetrates this through-hole.
- the control shaft 25 is slidable in the axial direction of the support pipe 24 within the through hole of the support pipe 24.
- Arms 21a and 21b extend from the outer peripheral surface of the input section 21 in the radial direction of the input section 21.
- Rollers 21c are arranged between the ends of the arms 21a and 21b. Is done.
- the roller 21c abuts on the cam surface 13a of the intake cam 13 as shown in Fig. 1, whereby the input part 21 is supported by the support pipe 2 according to the shape of the force surface 13a. Rotate around 4.
- nose 22a and 23a extend in the radial direction of the oscillating cams 22 and 23, and these nose 22a and 23a It can abut the rocker arms 1 and 2.
- the input section 21 and the oscillating power mechanisms 22 and 23 and the control shaft 25 are connected by a certain control mechanism (not shown).
- this control mechanism causes the input unit 21 and the swing cams 22 and 23 to be opposite to each other. It is configured to rotate in the direction.
- the roller 21c of the input unit 21 and the nose 22a of the swing cams 22, 23, The input section 21 and the swinging cams 22 and 23 rotate so that the relative angle between the input shaft 21 and 23a becomes large, and the control shaft 25 is moved in the above-described direction with respect to the support pipe 24.
- the roller 21 of the input unit 21 is moved.
- the input part 21 and the swing cams 22 and 23 rotate so that the relative angle between the nose 22a and 23a of the power mechanism 22 and 23 becomes small.

- the above-described determination in step 105 will be described. If the valve opening characteristic control device 57 has fluctuations, that is, if the valve opening characteristics have fluctuations, a difference occurs in the intake air amount between the cylinders. The impact is known to increase.
- the larger the operating angle and the amount of lift the smaller the effect on the index based on the variation of the valve opening characteristics. If the operating angle and the amount of lift are more than a certain value, it can be considered that the influence of the variation in the valve opening characteristics can be almost ignored. For this reason, when the operating angle or the lift amount is relatively large, that is, when the influence on the above-mentioned index is detected at the time of the first valve opening characteristic, the cause is caused by the variation of the valve opening characteristic control device 57. Instead, it can be determined that the difference is due to the variation of the fuel injection amount by the fuel injection device in a portion other than the valve opening characteristic control device 57, and in the present invention.

- the amount of fuel injected by the fuel injection device which is a part other than the valve opening characteristic control device 57.
- Xs4-(Xf4-Xfr) Four new indicators are calculated.
- the difference (X fn— X fr) is not an absolute value, but contains a sign. Therefore, when the difference (Xfn—Xfr) is positive, the new index Xsn 'is smaller than the original index Xsn, and the difference (Xfn—Xfr) is negative. In some cases, the new index X sn 'is larger than the original index X sn.
- step 107 the difference between the index X sn obtained in step 104 or the new index X sn ′ obtained in step 106 and a reference value X sr predetermined for these indexes is obtained. (More specifically, the magnitude of the difference from the predetermined reference value) is calculated. That is, if the new index X sn ′ is not calculated (if NO is determined in step 105), the index X sn (X s1 to X s 4 for four cylinders) and the reference value X sn The absolute value of the difference (IX sn—X sr

If the valve opening characteristics control unit 57L and 57R have variations, that is, if the valve opening characteristics vary, a difference will occur in the intake air amount between punctures, but the operating angle and the lift amount It is known that the smaller the value, the greater the effect. On the other hand, the larger the operating angle and the amount of lift, the smaller the effect on the index based on the variation of the valve opening characteristics. If the operating angle ⁇ lift amount is a certain value or more, it can be considered that the influence of the variation in the valve opening characteristics can be almost ignored.
- the difference is due to the variation of the fuel injection amount by the fuel injection device in the portion other than the valve opening characteristic control devices 57 L and 57 R, in the present invention.

Therefore, the new index X s L, represents the effect of only the variation in the valve opening characteristics in the left bank BL, and the new index X s R, represents the effect of only the variation in the valve opening characteristics in the right bank BR. Then, in step 507, the indices X s L and X s R obtained in step 504 b or the new indices X s L 'and X s R' obtained in step 506 are used.

- step 508 the indices XsL and XsR obtained in step 504b or the new indices XsL 'and XsR' obtained in step 506 and these indices are set in advance.
- These reference values XsrL and XsrR are, like the reference values XfrL and XsrR, normal or target values for the index in each operating state. For example, if the relationship shown in FIG. 6a for the second valve opening characteristic different from the case of the first valve opening characteristic described above is obtained, the value during normal operation, for example, XA 0 Correspond to the reference values X sr L and X sr R. Then, a difference between XA 0 and a value in each cylinder, for example, XA 1, for example, XA 1 is calculated as a deviation ⁇ XsL, AXsR. Therefore, in this case, ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 in FIG.
- step 508 corresponds to the deviations ⁇ sL and AXsR in step 508.
- ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 1, ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 2 in Fig. 6b, 11, CXC2 in Fig. 7 &, and AXD1, AXD2 in Fig. 7b also It can correspond to the deviation AX s L, ⁇ X s R.

- the variation in the fuel injection amount and the variation in the valve opening characteristic can coexist, but in the present invention, the variation in the fuel injection amount. If exists, it is corrected (the difference (XfL—XfrL) is subtracted from the indices XsL and XsL ', and the difference (from the indices XsR and XsR'). XfR-XfrR) is subtracted), so that only the variation of the valve opening characteristics can be calculated by calculating the deviations AXsL and AXsR.

- the predetermined values ⁇ ,] 3 in step 704 and step 705 are the differences between the target valve opening characteristic correction learning values V1, V2 and these predetermined values, j8 (VI-hi, respectively). , V 2-) 3) are greater than or equal to zero.
- step 706 the new target valve opening characteristic correction learning value V1 obtained in step 704 or step 705 is added to a predetermined base target value VI0. This is set as a new valve opening characteristic target value for the valve opening characteristic control device 57 (# 1) of the first cylinder # 1.
- the new target valve opening characteristic correction learning value V2 obtained in step 704 or step 705 is added to a predetermined base target value V20. This is set as a new valve opening characteristic target value for the valve opening characteristic control device 57 (# 2) of the second cylinder # 2.
- the process returns to step 701, and the series of processes is repeated to gradually bring the target valve opening characteristic correction learning value V1 and the target valve opening characteristic correction learning value V2 closer to the same value.
- the deviation ⁇ s1 of the first cylinder # 1 and the deviation ⁇ 32 of the second cylinder # 2 are eliminated, that is, the valve opening characteristic between the first cylinder # 1 and the second cylinder # 2 is eliminated. Parasitism will be eliminated.
- the same processing as in the program 700 is performed on the deviation ⁇ si of the first cylinder # 1 and the deviation AX s3 of the third cylinder.
- the same processing as in the program 700 is performed for the deviation AX sl of the first cylinder # 1 and the deviation ⁇ ⁇ 34 of the fourth cylinder # 4.
- the valve opening characteristic variation between the cylinders detected so as not to include the variation in the fuel injection amount Since the valve opening characteristics are changed by the amount of the key, more precise control is possible, thereby adversely affecting the emission of the drive and exhaust systems of the vehicle equipped with such an internal combustion engine. Can be avoided.
