ABSTRACT:
A variable stroke engine includes a connecting rod having one end thereof connected to a piston via a piston pin. A sub-rod is connected to a crankshaft via a crankpin and to the other end of the connecting rod. A control rod has one end thereof connected to the sub-rod at a position distal from the position where the sub-rod is connected to the connecting rod. An eccentric shaft is connected to the other end of the control rod. The eccentric shaft is provided at a position eccentric relative to a rotating shaft to which power is transmitted from the crankshaft at a reduction ratio of ½. Intake and exhaust cams form a part of a valve operating mechanism and are provided on the rotating shaft.
