  • Patent number: 10989309
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve body having an exhaust gas inlet and an exhaust gas outlet, the valve body defining an exhaust gas circulation passage between the exhaust gas inlet and the exhaust gas outlet. A flap is arranged in the valve body and a shaft drives the flap in rotation with respect to the valve body. At least one guide bearing guides the drive shaft of the flap for rotation relative to the valve body. The guide bearing is engaged through an orifice of the valve body, with an inner end of the guide bearing being located inside the valve body. A first tube is engaged in one of the exhaust gas inlet and exhaust gas outlet and abuts against the inner end of the guide bearing.

  • Patent number: 10982771
    Abstract: A valve comprises a valve body delimiting a passage for exhaust gases, a flap arranged in the valve body, and a drive shaft configured to drive the flap, and which is integrally secured to the flap. At least one guide bearing is configured to guide the drive shaft of the flap in rotation in relation to the valve body, and is connected to the valve body. The valve also includes an actuator and a transmission comprising an adapter rigidly attached directly to the drive shaft of the flap. The transmission is arranged in order to transmit a motor torque between the actuator and the adapter. The adapter has a contact surface that is in sealed contact with a complementary surface provided on the guide bearing.

  • Publication number: 20200116262
    Abstract: An exhaust valve includes a body defining a passage section and extending along an extension axis from an upstream inlet able to be connected to an upstream pipe to a downstream outlet able to be connected to a downstream pipe. A flap is positioned in the body, across the passage section, and rotates around a rotation axis secant to the extension axis between a closed orientation where the flap closes the passage section and an open orientation where the flap frees the passage section. A transmission member is aligned along the rotation axis and is secured to the flap by a first end, and the second end of which is positioned outside the body. A rotating actuator drives the flap via the second end of the transmission member. A fastening element is used to fasten the actuator on the outside of the body (2). The valve further includes at least one fin positioned between the body and the actuator. Also, an exhaust line includes such a valve.
