ABSTRACT:
A variable compression ratio apparatus is provided for use in an internal combustion engine. The apparatus has an eccentric sleeve rotatably arranged in one of pivot portions at opposite ends of a connecting rod so as to make a bearing hole of the connecting rod and a pin, which extends through the bearing hole, eccentric relative to each other. The apparatus also has an eccentric sleeve lock device capable of fixing rotation of the eccentric sleeve at a desired position. The lock device includes a pin member engageable with one of engagement portions formed in the eccentric sleeve and a piston-type fluid pressure drive system. The drive system is adapted to produce a pressure difference between fluid pressure chambers formed at opposite sides of a piston portion, which is connected to the pin member, in a state that the fluid pressure chambers are applied with a prescribed fluid pressure, whereby the piston portion is moved to drive the pin member.
