  • Patent number: 11773790
    Abstract: A throttle device 1 includes a throttle valve 2 which is disposed in an intake passage 101, and includes a first valve body 20 and a first rotatable shaft 21 for rotatably holding the first valve body 20, a bypass valve 3 which is disposed in a bypass passage 8 connected to the intake passage 101 so as to bypass the throttle valve 2, and includes a second valve body 30 and a second rotatable shaft 31 for rotatably holding the second valve body 30, a common motor 4 for applying a driving force to the throttle valve 2 and the bypass valve 3, a first gear 5 configured to be able to transmit or block the driving force of the motor 4 with respect to the first rotatable shaft 21, a second gear 6 configured to receive the driving force of the motor 4 and transmit the driving force to the second rotatable shaft 31, and a sensor 7 for detecting a rotation amount of the second rotatable shaft 31 of the bypass valve 3 or another rotatable shaft rotating in conjunction with the second rotatable shaft 31.

  • Publication number: 20210340919
    Abstract: A throttle device 1 includes a throttle valve 2, and a throttle body 6 having a through hole 4 where the throttle valve 2 is arranged, the throttle body 6 including a connection part 28 to which a flow passage forming member 26 is finable, the flow passage forming member 26 communicating with the through hole 4 and forming an intake passage 3 with the through hole 4, and the connection part 28 having a contour 50 defined by a minor axis L1 along an axis direction of a rotatable shaft 12 of the throttle valve 2 and a major axis L2 which is longer than the minor axis L1.

  • Patent number: 7597086
    Abstract: A throttle assembly for intake air protects a link mechanism for interlocking throttles with each other from water and mud and maintains the throttle operability in a satisfactory state. The throttle assembly for intake air includes a plurality of throttle devices for injecting fuel into intake air to generate an air-fuel mixture; a link mechanism for connecting driving portions of the throttle devices with each other, a link mechanism housing chamber defined by an outer wall member for forming a link mechanism housing chamber and housing the link mechanism, and seal members provided at the connected or mated portions of the outer wall member and a different member or the connected or mated portions of a plurality of outer wall configuring members which configure the outer wall member.
