- the annular member has a large diameter portion in the axial direction. Between the formed stepped surface between the small diameter portion and has a gap.
- the method for manufacturing an exhaust gas circulation valve includes an assembly step in which an exhaust gas passage, a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion are formed in a housing, and a shaft and a valve are installed in the vicinity of the step portion, and a pressure in the exhaust gas passage. Measure the amount of leakage from the valve and between the first valve seat and the second valve seat while pressing the annular member in the axial direction from one end of the large-diameter portion and moving it closer to the valve.
- a position determining step for providing a gap with the member.
- the gap is left without stopping against the stepped surface, so that the press-fitting position can be adjusted and variation in assembly accuracy can be suppressed. Therefore, an exhaust gas circulation valve with reduced seat leakage can be provided.

Since the valve 40 closes the valve seat 50 as the press-fitting amount increases from the time when the press-fitting of the annular member 20 is started, the amount of leakage decreases.
- the leakage amount becomes the minimum value, and when the leakage amount exceeds this, the portion of the annular member 20 constituting the first valve seat 51 presses the valve 40, thereby A gap is generated between the portion constituting the second valve seat 52 and the valve 40, and as a result, the amount of leakage begins to increase.
- the press-fitting of the annular member 20 is finished.

It becomes possible to absorb the dimensional variation and assembly variation of each part, and the assembly accuracy can be suppressed. Further, in the case of the primary eccentric structure, it is possible to absorb not only the variation of each part but also the variation of the eccentric amount. As a result, sheet leakage can be reduced as much as possible.

- the distance from the valve seat 52 to the outer peripheral surface 41 is larger than the distance s (shown in FIG. 3B).
- valve 40 when the valve 40 is opened with a minute opening including the minimum opening, a turbulent flow is generated in the exhaust gas flowing through the gap between the valve 40 and the valve seat 50, making it difficult to flow. Therefore, an increase in flow rate at a minute opening can be suppressed.

実施の形態1.
図1は、本実施の形態1に係る排気ガス循環バルブのバルブ微小開状態を示す断面斜視図である。図2はバルブ閉状態の断面斜視図、図3はバルブ閉状態の断面図である。この排気ガス循環バルブは、車両の排気ガス循環通路に設けられるバタフライ式バルブであり、排気ガス通路となる小径部11を有するハウジング10と、小径部11より大径であって小径部11との間で略環状の段部を構成する大径部12と、大径部12に圧入固定された環状部材20と、排気ガス通路を貫通するシャフト30と、シャフト30に固定された円板形状のバルブ40とから構成される。環状部材20とハウジング10は別部品にするが、材質は同じでも別でも構わない。
さらに、排気ガス循環バルブは1次偏心構造でなくてもよく、シャフト30の回転中心軸O1とバルブ40の中心軸O2が同一軸上に重なるように、シャフト30とバルブ40を固定してもよい。さらに、バルブ40の傾斜面41a,41bをバルブシート50に線接触させる構成でなくてもよく、バルブ40の外周部(表裏面)をバルブシート50に面接触させる構成にしてもよい。
1.組立ステップ
先ず、ハウジング10に小径部11、大径部12、シャフト30を挿通するための軸受け部14を形成する。続いて、この軸受け部14にシャフト30を挿通し、プレート31を介在させた状態でシャフト30とバルブ40を仮止めする。仮止めは、バルブ40がシャフト30に対して脱落はしないが、少なくともプレート31に対してバルブ40の中心軸O2回りに可動できる程度、およびプレート31の平面方向に可動できる程度の緩みを残す。例えば、バルブ40をシャフト30にネジ止めする場合、ネジを最後まで締めこまず、仮止めとする。そして、後述する位置決定ステップが完了した状態で最終的にネジを締め付けて製品完成とする。
なお、プレート31を省略してもよい。
図7(a)は、シート洩れ測定ステップを説明する図である。
組立ステップの後、大径部12の一端側に環状部材20を配置し、バルブ40を間に挟んでシャフト30とは反対の方向から、大径部12内へ環状部材20を圧入していく。圧入中は、排気ガス通路内に圧力を作用させ、バルブ40とバルブシート50の間からの洩れ量(例えば、負圧)を測定する。
図7(b)は、環状部材20の圧入量と洩れ量との関係を示すグラフである。圧入量は、図7(a)に示すように、大径部12に対して環状部材20をZ軸方向に圧入した距離である。また、グラフに、排気ガス循環バルブに予め設定された洩れ量の許容値を一点鎖線で示す。
環状部材20の圧入を開始した時点から圧入量が増えるに従い、バルブ40がバルブシート50を閉鎖していくため、洩れ量は減少していく。さらに環状部材20を圧入していくと、洩れ量が最小値になり、これを超えると、環状部材20の第1バルブシート51を構成する部位がバルブ40を押圧することによって、段差面13の第2バルブシート52を構成する部位とバルブ40との間に隙間が生じ、その結果、洩れ量が増加し始める。
なお、図示例では、環状部材20のZ軸方向の厚みを、大径部12のZ軸方向の厚みより小さくしたが、これに限定されるものではない。
図8(a)は、この発明の実施の形態2に係る排気ガス循環バルブの構成を示す断面図であり、図8(b)はA領域の拡大図、図8(c)はB領域の拡大図である。図8において図1~図7と同一または相当の部分については同一の符号を付し説明を省略する。
本実施の形態2では、隙間Sに露出したハウジング10の露出面15の腐食を防止するため、環状部材20の端面21と段差面13との間の隙間Sに弾性部材60を介在させる。
これにより、微小開度時の流量増加を抑制しつつ、ハウジング10の腐食を防止することができる。
なお、弾性部材60を省略してもよい。
図11(a)は、この発明の実施の形態3に係る排気ガス循環バルブの構成を示す断面図であり、図11(b)はA領域の拡大図、図11(c)はB領域の拡大図である。図11において図3と同一または相当の部分については同一の符号を付し説明を省略する。
本実施の形態3では、SUS材等の別部材を用いて大径部12および段差面13を被覆し、環状部材20を取り付ける被覆部(被覆部材)80を形成している。この被覆部80に環状部材20を圧入固定することにより、隙間Sからのハウジング10の露出を防ぎ、ハウジング10の耐腐食性を向上させることができる。また、被覆部80は耐腐食性および耐久性が高い材質のため、環状部材20の保持力を向上でき、バルブシート50の位置ずれを抑制することができる。
図12の構成例では、排気ガス通路の内周面全体に被覆部(被覆部材)81を設けている。これにより、ハウジング10の耐腐食性を向上させることができる。
