Abstract
The valve driving apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a valve element functioning as an intake valve or an exhaust valve of the internal combustion engine, an electromagnetic actuator for driving the valve element, an actuator body having a plurality of electromagnetic actuators mounted thereto, and wiring for supplying electric power to each of the electromagnetic actuators. The actuator body has a flow path for allowing a cooling medium to flow therethrough. The wiring is provided near the flow path of the actuator body. This structure enables a reduction in space for power distribution while minimizing overheating of the wires.
