Description of the Related Art As a conventional EGR valve device, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, an elbow 2 or the like is provided at an end portion of an EGR passage 1 branched from an exhaust passage (not shown) to constitute an upstream curved portion 3. The valve seat 5 is located at a position downstream of the bending end 4 of the upstream bending portion 3. The EGR passage is provided by providing a downstream curved portion 7 at the upstream end of the intake passage 8 which is curved in a direction opposite to the upstream curved portion 3 at a position downstream of the valve seat 5 as a curved start end 6. There is a type in which the EGR gas flowing through 1 flows into the valve seat 5 from a right angle direction. 9 is a valve seat 5 from the EGR passage 1 side.
The valve 9 is seated on the vehicle.

よびＥＧＲバルブ装置を大型化する必要性があった。[0003] When the valve 9 is held on the side of the intake passage 8 as described above, the flow loss of the EGR gas increases, although the thermal load on the valve 9 can be reduced. In order to perform the above, it is necessary to enlarge the EGR passage and the EGR valve device.

要があった。That is, when the valve seat 5 is disposed downstream of the curved end 4 of the upstream curved portion 3 so that the EGR gas flows from the valve seat 5 in a direction perpendicular to the valve seat 5 as in the prior art, Since the EGR gas flowing from the passage 1 is deflected to the outside of the upstream curved portion 3 and flows into the valve seat 5, in the downstream curved portion 7, separation occurs at a corner inside the curved portion. Such separation increases as the flow rate of the EGR gas increases, and the flow loss increases.
In order to perform R, it is necessary to increase the size of the EGR passage and the valve seat at the expense of manufacturing cost and mountability.

る。In this embodiment, an upstream curved portion 3 such as an elbow 2 is formed at the end of an EGR passage 1 branched from an exhaust passage (not shown), and a valve is provided near the curved end 4 of the upstream curved portion 3. A seat 5 is provided. Further, while the valve 9 is seated on the valve seat 5 from the EGR passage 1 side,
The downstream bending portion 7 which is bent in the direction opposite to the upstream bending portion 3 with the formation position of the valve seat 5 as the bending start end 6 is connected to the intake passage 8.
The EGR gas flowing through the EGR passage 1 is flow-controlled by the valve 9 so as to flow into the intake passage 8 at the upstream end of the EGR gas. The movement of the valve 9 is controlled in the horizontal direction in the figure by an actuator (not shown).

いた。That is, conventionally, by providing the valve seat 5 downstream of the bending end 4 of the upstream bending portion 3 and providing the downstream bending portion 7 whose bending downstream end is located at a position downstream of the valve seat 5. , The EGR gas is set to flow in a direction perpendicular to the valve seat 5, so that a large amount of EGR gas flows outside the curve in the upstream curved portion 3 and the corner inside the curved portion of the downstream curved portion 7. Peeling occurred at the part.

斜め方向から流入して斜め方向に流出する。However, as in the present embodiment, the valve seat 5 is disposed near the bending end 4 of the upstream bending portion 3, and the vicinity of the valve seat 5 is used as the bending start end 6 of the downstream bending portion 7. In this case, since the EGR gas flowing through the EGR passage 1 immediately flows into the valve seat 5 while being subjected to the direction changing action by the upstream curved portion 3, the EGR gas generally flows into the valve seat 5 from an oblique direction. Spills diagonally.

ことができ、目標ＥＧＲ率の確保が可能となる。Accordingly, in the downstream curved portion 7, the flow outside the curved portion increases, and the flow inside the curved portion is relatively reduced, so that separation at the curved inside corner portion is reduced, so that the flow loss is reduced. Therefore, the EGR passage 1 and the valve seat 5
A large amount of EGR gas can be supplied without increasing the size of the EGR gas, and the target EGR rate can be secured.

ＥＧＲバルブ装置の熱負荷を軽減することができる。In addition, since the downstream bending portion 7 which curves in the direction opposite to the upstream bending portion 3 is provided at the upstream end portion of the intake passage 8, the vicinity of the valve seat 5 is defined as the bending start end 6. For example, the heat load on the EGR valve device can be reduced without using a heat insulator or the like.

減少することができる利点がある。In the above-described embodiment, the bending end 4 of the upstream bending portion 3 coincides with the upstream end face of the valve seat 5, while the bending start end 6 of the downstream bending portion is positioned substantially at the center of the valve seat 5. However, in the case where the two are matched or the bending end of the upstream bending portion 3 is positioned downstream of the valve seat 5 within a range that does not sacrifice the passage area of the upstream bending portion 3, EGR is performed. Since the gas inflow angle can be reduced, there is an advantage that the loss caused by providing the EGR valve can be further reduced.

とができる。As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the valve seat is located near the curved end of the upstream curved portion constituting the end portion of the EGR passage, and the valve seat is defined as the curved start end. Since the downstream curved portion that curves in the direction opposite to the side curved portion is provided at the upstream end of the intake passage, the heat load on the EGR valve device is reduced, and the EGR valve device is reduced.
Since gas can flow into and out of the valve seat from an oblique direction, the flow loss caused by the EGR valve device can be reduced.
