Abstract: An exhaust valve assembly (10) includes a valve body, a valve (12) supported by a shaft (14) within the valve body, and an actuator (18) that moves the valve relative to the valve body to control exhaust flow. The actuator is thermally isolated from the valve by a linkage mechanism (30) that cooperates with exhaust flow to move the valve between open and closed positions. The actuator temporarily contacts the linkage mechanism to initiate opening and closing movement but then moves out of contact with the linkage mechanism as the exhaust flow exerts a force against the valve to move the valve to a fully open or fully closed position. This temporary contact between the linkage mechanism and the actuator reduces heat transfer from the valve to the actuator.

Abstract translation: 排气门组件（10）包括阀体，由阀体内的轴（14）支撑的阀（12）和使阀相对于阀体移动以控制排气流动的致动器（18）。 致动器通过与排气流协作的连杆机构（30）与阀热隔离，以在打开和关闭位置之间移动阀。 致动器暂时接触连杆机构以启动打开和关闭运动，但随着排气流对阀门施加力而将阀门移动到完全打开或完全关闭位置时，该联动机构就开始与联动机构脱离接触。 联动机构和致动器之间的这种临时接触减少了从阀到致动器的传热。
