The present invention relates to a GR valve device. 2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional EGR valve device, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, an elbow 2 or the like is provided at an end portion of an EGR passage 1 branched from an exhaust passage (not shown) so that an upstream curved portion 3 is provided. 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 that is curved in a direction opposite to the upstream curved portion 3 at the upstream end of the intake passage 8 with the 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. [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. 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 the case of performing R, it is necessary to increase the size of the EGR passage and the valve seat at the expense of manufacturing cost and mountability. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can reduce the flow loss of EGR gas without increasing the size of an EGR passage, a valve seat, and the like. It is an object to provide an EGR valve device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a valve seat at a connection between an end of an EGR passage branched from an exhaust passage and an intake passage, and the valve seat has an EGR. EG holding a valve seated from the passage side on the intake passage side
In the R-valve device, the curved end of the upstream curved portion constituting the end portion of the EGR passage is at least upstream of the valve seat.
It is located downstream from the side end surface, and a downstream curved portion that curves in the opposite direction to the upstream curved portion with the vicinity of the valve seat as a curved starting end is provided at the upstream end of the intake passage. I have. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the EGR valve device according to the present invention. Parts having the same functions as those of the conventional example shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. 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 curved end 4 of the upstream curved portion 3 is connected to a valve seat 5. To the upstream end face. Also, 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 provided. By providing the EGR gas at the upstream end of the intake passage 8, the flow rate of the EGR gas flowing through the EGR passage 1 is controlled by the valve 9 so as to flow into the intake passage 8. The valve 9
Is controlled to move in the horizontal direction in the figure by an actuator (not shown). 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. However, as in the present embodiment, the bending end 4 of the upstream bending portion 3 is made to coincide with the upstream end face of the valve seat 5 and the vicinity of the valve seat 5 is formed in the downstream bending portion 7. In this case, the EGR flowing through the EGR passage 1
Since the gas immediately flows into the valve seat 5 while undergoing the direction changing action of the upstream curved portion 3, the EGR gas flows into the valve seat 5 as a whole from an oblique direction and flows out into the oblique direction. 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. In addition, since the downstream bending portion 7 that 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 thermal load on the EGR valve device can be reduced without using a heat insulator or the like. 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. As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the curved end of the upstream curved portion constituting the end portion of the EGR passage is located at least downstream of the upstream end face of the valve seat. Since the downstream curved portion that curves in the direction opposite to the upstream curved portion with the vicinity of the valve seat as the curved start end is provided at the upstream end of the intake passage, the thermal load on the EGR valve device is reduced. In addition, since the EGR gas can flow into and out of the valve seat in an oblique direction, the flow loss caused by the EGR valve device can be reduced.
