  • Patent number: 11698020
    Abstract: A valve mounting structure includes a mounting portion, a valve, and a cushion. The valve includes a valve seat having a cylindrical joining portion that receives the mounting portion inserted thereto, or is inserted to the mounting portion. The cushion is arranged between the mounting portion and the joining portion, and fixed to each of the mounting portion and the joining portion. In a case where one of the mounting portion and the joining portion is a first portion and the other is a second portion, the first portion includes a peripheral wall and an opening portion without the peripheral wall formed therein. A fixing portion in which the second portion and the cushion are fixed to each other is at least partly arranged at a position adjacent to the opening portion along a radial direction of the mounting portion.

  • Patent number: 9702292
    Abstract: In an exhaust heat recovery device, exhaust gas flows out from a heat exchange outflow port into a heat exchange passage. The exhaust gas having flowed out into the heat exchange passage flows in a radial direction from an inner side to an outer side of a heat exchanger to reach a second heat exchange passage from a first heat exchange passage. A heat exchange is performed in the heat exchanger while the exhaust gas flows.

  • Patent number: 8950731
    Abstract: An exhaust valve structure includes: an inner cylindrical portion that forms an introducing passage of exhaust gas and that has a stay member; a valve element that closes or opens the introducing passage; and a wire mesh that is fixed to the stay member and that contacts the valve element when the introducing passage is closed. The wire mesh is formed in a shape such that a diameter of the wire mesh gradually increases toward a downstream side of the introducing passage and a load exerted on the stay member when the valve element contacts the wire mesh is distributed in a diameter-increasing direction in which the diameter of the wire mesh increases.
