  • Patent number: 11391369
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shift-by-wire (SBW) device and, more specifically, to an actuator and reduction gear structure of a shift-by-wire device. A shift-by-wire device according to the present invention comprises: a housing; a motor which generates torque by means of an applied current; a hollow rotor shaft; a reduction gear which receives the transmission of the torque of the motor, converts same and transmits same to an output; an output shaft which passes through inside the rotor shaft, has an encoder magnet provided on one end thereof, has the other end directly connected to a manual shaft, and transmits the torque increased by means of the reduction gear to a detent plate; and a controller disposed inside the housing and for detecting the position of the output from the encoder magnet.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10006418
    Abstract: Disclosed is an intake manifold for a vehicle with a unified flow path. The intake manifold has a plurality of branch pipes connected to intake ports of cylinders of an automotive engine, and a surge tank unit connected to the branch pipes and having an external air inlet formed at a side to receive external air, in which the surge tank unit has a unified gas inlet formed at the external air inlet so that blow-by gas an fuel evaporation gas both flows inside. Accordingly, flow resistance when external air flows inside is reduced and freezing at the blow-by gas inlet is prevented in winter. Therefore, the amount of air mixture to be supplied into the cylinders is increased, whereby the volume efficiency of the cylinders is improved and engine torque is increased.
