Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a variable valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine, which includes a rocker arm that includes a roller arm including a roller that rotatably abuts against a cam and a side arm provided at a side of the roller arm and that drives a valve, and a switching device that includes a switching pin and a hydraulic chamber provided inside the rocker arm and that switches a drive state of the valve by displacing the switching pin between a coupling position at which the switching pin extends between the roller arm and the side arm and a non-coupling position at which the switching pin does not extend between the roller arm and the side arm based on variations in hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic chamber. The switching pin is provided on an axis of the roller, and the hydraulic chamber is provided inside the roller arm.
