Abstract

Le moteur avec dispositif d'étranglement de l'invention, est équipé d'un papillon des gaz (24) agencé sur son trajet d'admission (31). Ce moteur avec dispositif d'étranglement est également équipé : d'un axe de papillon (27) en rotation d'un seul tenant avec un corps de valve (28) du papillon des gaz (24) ; d'un élément ressort qui donne une impulsion dans une direction de fermeture du corps de valve (28) ; et d'un moteur pour entraînement de papillon des gaz (26) raccordé à l'axe de papillon (27) par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme d'engrenage (25). En outre, le moteur avec dispositif d'étranglement est équipé : d'un capteur (42) qui détecte l'angle de rotation d'un axe de rotation (43) distinct de l'axe de papillon (27) au niveau du mécanisme d'engrenage (25) ; et d'une partie calcul d'angle d'étranglement recherchant l'angle de rotation (θ2) de l'axe de papillon (27) à l'aide de valeurs de détection du capteur (42). La partie calcul d'angle d'étranglement calcule l'angle de rotation (θ2) de l'axe de papillon (27) en soustrayant un angle de jeu (α) à l'angle détecté par le capteur (42). En adoptant une configuration telle que l'angle de rotation de l'axe de rotation distinct de l'axe de papillon, est détecté par le capteur, il est possible de fournir un moteur avec dispositif d'étranglement capable de détecter de manière très précise l'angle de rotation de l'axe d'entraînement.
