A control method using a continuous variable valve duration apparatus implements a a continuous variable valve duration apparatus which includes a wheel mounted on a camshaft and having a wheel key so as to control duration of an intake valve of an engine, a cam unit having a cam and a cam key, adapted such that the camshaft is inserted thereinto, and being disposed so as to vary relative phase of the cam with respect to the camshaft, an inner bracket connected with the wheel key and the cam key, a slider housing being adapted such that the inner bracket is rotatably inserted thereinto and disposed so as to move vertically with respect to the engine, a controller varying a position of the slider housing so as to adjust rotation center of the inner bracket, and a guide unit guiding motion of the sliding housing. The control method includes calculating a required air amount for maintaining idle rotation speed of the engine by the controller when the engine is an idle state; mapping a supplied air amount in accordance with duration of the intake valve or the exhaust valve by the controller; setting a target valve duration for supplying the required air amount of the engine by the controller; and controlling duration of the intake valve or exhaust valve according to the set target valve duration by the controller.

A continuously variable valve lift apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam portion on which a cam is formed and into which the camshaft is inserted, a slider housing into which the cam portion is rotatably inserted and of which a position is rotatable around a pivot shaft, a control portion engaged with the slider housing and configured to selectively rotate the slider housing around the pivot shaft, an output portion rotatable around the pivot shaft, contacting the cam and onto which a valve shoe is formed, and a valve device contacting the valve shoe and driven by rotation of the cam.

A continuously variable valve lift apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam portion on which two rotation portions are formed, on which a cam is formed between the two rotation portions and into which the camshaft is inserted, two slider housings into which each rotation portion is rotatably inserted therein, of which a position is moved for changing a relative position of the cam portion with respect to the camshaft and onto which a guide slot is formed, a control portion configured to selectively move the position of each of the two slider housings, a guide shaft parallel to the camshaft and inserted into the guide slot for guiding movement of the slider housing, an output portion rotatable around a pivot shaft and onto which a valve shoe is formed, and a valve device configured to be driven by the valve shoe.

A continuously variable valve lift apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam portion of which a cam is formed thereto and the camshaft is inserted into therein, a slider housing of which the cam portion is rotatably inserted therein, of which a position with respect to the camshaft is movable and of which a guide slot is formed thereto, a control portion selectively changing the position of the slider housing, a guide shaft disposed parallel to the camshaft and inserted into the guide slot for guiding movement of the slider housing, an output portion rotatable around a pivot shaft and of which a valve shoe is formed thereto and a valve unit driven by the valve shoe.

A continuous variable valve duration apparatus may include a cam rotatably mounted on a cam carrier, a camshaft disposed within the cam and relatively rotatable with respect to the cam, in which a rotation center of the camshaft is variable with respect to a rotation center of the cam, a connecting link disposed between the cam and the camshaft, in which the connecting link is pivotally connected to at least one of the cam and the camshaft, and transmits rotation of the camshaft to the cam, and a control portion selectively changing the rotation center of the camshaft.
