Abstract:
A motor-operated actuator has a clutch members are set in slide recesses formed in a drive member which are regulated in movement with a clutch base. A protrusion is formed on each of the clutch members, and a groove is formed around the protrusion. Both end portions of a return spring are placed in the grooves of the clutch members, and fixed there by thermal caulking. Thereby, the clutch member is prevented from being damaged by unsatisfactory disengagement. The clutch members are prevented from being disconnected from the return spring, and the former can be positively connected to the latter with high efficiency.
Abstract:
A temperature sensor has a holder for housing a temperature sensing element therein, a terminal, and an electrical lead wire connecting the temperature sensing element and the terminal. The lead wire has a first end portion thereof electrically connected with the temperature sensing element and a second end portion thereof welded to the terminal. The lead wire is fastened in a variety of ways to the terminal to receive mechanical loads exerted by the lead wire. The terminal may be formed with a hole therein through which the lead wire is passed from one side of the terminal to the other. The lead may be soldered to the terminal at the hole. The terminal may also be formed with a cutout through which the lead wire is passed and is soldered at a portion closer to the temperature sensing element than the cutout. The terminal may be formed with two slits to define a strap between the two slits so that the lead wire is passed through the first slit from a first side of the terminal to a second side and then through the second slit from the second side to the first side. The lead is then soldered to the terminal at a portion of terminal closer to the temperature sensing element than the strap.
Abstract:
An attaching system of an exhaust gas recirculation valve includes: an attachment unit 2 to be communicated with an exhaust gas circulation passage of an internal combustion engine; and an exhaust gas recirculation valve 1 that is fitted to the attachment unit and that has an exhaust gas passage to be communicated with the exhaust gas circulation passage, wherein the exhaust gas recirculation valve has a water-cooled passage 12 to be communicated with a water-cooled passage 15 for cooling the exhaust gas passage provided with the attachment unit, when fitted to the attachment unit.
Abstract:
An EGR valve device includes a housing having an exhaust gas passage formed inside, a support shaft slidably supported within the housing through a bearing, a valve disposed on the support shaft to open and close the exhaust gas passage, an urging member for urging the support shaft in a direction to close the valve, a valve seat, insert-cast integral with the housing, for closing the exhaust gas passage by abutting against the valve, and an actuator for driving the support shaft in a direction to open the valve, wherein a plurality of recesses or projections are provided axisymmetrically or uniformly in the peripheral portion of the valve seat to be insert-cast.
Abstract:
In an EGR valve provided in an exhaust gas recirculation passage for recirculating the exhaust gas of an engine, a filter 26b is provided on the side of an exhaust gas passage 22 of a bearing 26a supporting a valve rod 25, while a diameter-reduced section 25a is provided in an area on the valve rod 25 in proximity to the filter 26b.
Abstract:
A valve element mechanism for an exhaust gas circulation valve has: a primary eccentricity A causing a center O of a support shaft 4 rotatably provided in a housing 2 to separate from a centerline P of a seal surface 2b of a valve seat 2a with which a valve element 5 opening and closing a fluid passage by being rotated by the support shaft 4 contacts; a secondary eccentricity B causing the center O of the support shaft 4 to separate from a centerline Q of the housing 2, and a tertiary eccentricity C causing an apex G of a cone shape 6 defining a seal surface 5a of the valve element 5 and the seal surface 2b of the valve sheet 2a to position at a side opposite from the support shaft 4 and to tilt against a centerline of the housing 2.
Abstract:
To provide a DC motor in which the rattling and the axial deviation of a rotor are restrained without increasing the axial dimension of the motor.This DC motor comprises a stator (2) on which coils (4) are provided, a rotor (8) so disposed as to be opposed to the inner periphery of the stator (2) and having magnetic poles, a current-carrying part provided at one end of the rotor (8) and transferring the current fed from a power supply to the coils (4) of the stator (2), a sleeve bearing (6) holding the rotor (8), and a ball bearing (7) holding the rotor (8) and having a load-carrying capacity larger than that of the sleeve bearing (6). The outer ring of the ball bearing (7) is positioned by the stator (2), and the inner ring of the ball bearing (7) is positioned by the rotor (8).
Abstract:
