EGR systems may be divided into internal portions depending on whether exhaust gas passes through the intake system or notEGR systems and external EGR systems, among which external EGR systems are more commonly used.

In an external EGR system, an EGR line directs exhaust gas from an exhaust line into an intake pipe, causing the exhaust gas to be thoroughly mixed with fresh air before entering the cylinder. The external EGR system can accurately control the EGR rate through the electric control system, optimize the performance of the engine, and can be additionally provided with an EGR cooler in an EGR pipeline to reduce the temperature of waste gas, thereby effectively reducing the combustion temperature and improving the emission of the engine to a greater extent. In order to avoid a backflow of fresh air into the exhaust gases, an EGR check valve is usually provided in the EGR line, which EGR check valve is located downstream of the EGR cooler.

At present, the valve block of EGR check valve is the cantilever beam structure, because the EGR gas through the EGR check valve is the pulse type, then the valve block of EGR check valve makes a round trip to bend under the effect of pulse air current, and in addition, the valve block carries out high frequency motion under the influence of exhaust pulse, then the valve block is great in the cracked probability of department of bending, leads to the life of EGR check valve to be shorter.
