Abstract:
Present embodiments provide a throttle body which may be used with a variety of engines of different manufacturers. The throttle body may be used to replace mechanical or hydraulically controlled carburetors with electronic fuel injection. The throttle body may provide improved fuel pathways through and about the throttle body in order to move fuel to opposed side. The throttle bodies may have improved configuration of the fuel injectors. Further, the throttle body may have computer mounted on the throttle body and a notch formed in the throttle body to define a wire routing pathway from the computer to the injectors.
Abstract:
Provided is a throttle valve assembly which reduces weight, number of manufacturing processes, and manufacturing cost thereof by coupling a throttle body formed of plastic to a reinforcement portion manufactured by a die casting method with an insert method. The throttle valve assembly includes a valve body having an intake passage, a mounting space that communicates with the intake passage, a motor accommodating space, and a mounting groove formed between the mounting space and the motor accommodating space. The valve body includes plastic. The throttle valve assembly further includes a valve plate coupled to a rotary shaft rotatably installed in the intake passage of the valve body to adjust an amount of air or a mixed gas ingested into an engine; and a reinforcement portion formed of a metal and coupled to an inside of the valve body by an insert injection method.
Abstract:
An exhaust gas flap, especially for the exhaust gas stream of an internal combustion engine, includes a flap tube (22) and a flap diaphragm (24) carried in an interior of the flap tube on a pivot shaft (16) rotatable about a pivot axis. A flap wing (28, 30) is mounted on the pivot shaft (16) and a wing stop (32, 34) is associated with the flap wing (28, 30) on an inner circumferential area of the flap tube. The flap wing (28, 30) has a mounting area (56, 58) with uncurved mounting surfaces (60, 64). Opposing mounting surfaces (62, 66) or/and a mounting recess (52, 54) at the pivot shaft (16) provide an opposing mounting area that at least partially receives the flap wing mounting area (56, 58) of the flap wing (28, 30), the opposing mounting area being provided on the outer circumferential area of the pivot shaft (16).
Abstract:
An adapter assembly connected to a throttle body housing of an electronic throttle control assembly with a connecting feature. The adapter assembly of the present invention provides significantly lower cost assembly, and permits single side molding of the adapter assembly. The adapter assembly also includes alternative features for a captured seal or a void to contain excess thread sealer, and also permits a an anti-rotation feature, or locking tab, that is indexed to the receiving element, where the screw stop angle of the adapter assembly does not have to be controlled to provide a desired tab orientation.
Abstract:
A housing for a fresh gas supply device for an internal combustion engine with a turbocharger, includes a fresh gas connecting section which connects a charge air inlet and an air outlet. The housing has a main housing part and a housing cover, which can be removed from and secured to the main housing part. A corresponding fresh gas supply device includes the housing.
Abstract:
A throttle valve for an internal combustion engine provided with a valve body, a tubular feeding duct defined in the valve body, a throttle plate, and an actuating device which controls rotation of the throttle plate. The actuating device includes an electric motor and an actuating device conditioning circuit defined in the valve body. The conditioning circuit includes a tube made of a first material able to conduct heat, and the valve body is entirely made of a second metal material and is provided with a seat for housing the tube, in which is provided a layer of a structural and heat-conducting resin, interposed between the seat and the tube.
Abstract:
A valve casing of a flow regulating valve is welded to an end of a downstream section of a manifold body. Two passages are formed in the valve casing of the flow regulating valve. The valve casing accommodates a valve plate for switching at least one of the passages selectively between an open state and a closed state. A joint portion between the manifold body and the valve casing has height difference such that the portion in the vicinity of the passage corresponding to the valve plate is located at a position higher than the portion in the vicinity of the other one of the passages.
Abstract:
In the intake air quantity control device, a ring-shaped convex portion having an outer diameter being smaller than an inner diameter of the wave washer for damping the drive motor is formed on the bottom surface of the cylinder-shaped hole of the throttle body, and tapered portions are provided at an outer-diameter corner of the ring-shaped convex portion and at an outer-diameter corner of the bottom surface of the cylinder-shaped hole of the throttle body.
Abstract:
In an engine intake control apparatus, a cover is made of synthetic resin, a motor support plate is made of metal, a positioning boss is integrally formed on the cover, a first positioning hole arranged on a motor support plate is fitted on an outer peripheral surface of the positioning boss, and the positioning boss is positioned and fitted with a throttle valve body each other. With such an engine intake control apparatus, it is possible to perform with high accuracy the mutual positioning between the three components, i.e. the motor support plate, the cover and the throttle valve body, and it is possible to effectively improve the opening and closing accuracy for the opening and closing of the throttle valve by the motor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a delivery system for providing an atomized treatment agent like a cleaner or lubricant to a specific internal location of a closed mechanical system like an internal combustion engine. The atomized treatment agent is delivered via a flexible, non-rigid conduit to the desired internal location of the engine between, e.g., the ID/OD coupling joint between the air inlet hose and the throttle body. A special conduit support guide, the end of which is inserted through the ID/OD coupling joint, provides the proper geometry for gently configuring the conduit to enter the ID/OD coupling joint without crimping and controlling the directional approach and distance of the conduit free end inside the engine.
