Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of EGR valves, in particular to an EGR valve interface structure. Background Art

[0002] The exhaust gas recirculation system is a very important system for the engine. When the engine is working, it can monitor the flow of exhaust gas, and then feed it back to the driving computer to make correct control to keep the vehicle running normally. The EGR valve is one of the important components of the entire exhaust gas recirculation system. It controls the amount of exhaust gas entering the intake manifold, so that a certain amount of exhaust gas flows into the intake manifold for recirculation, thereby reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the exhaust gas. The interface of the ordinary EGR valve is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the connection socket of the plug 2 in the EGR valve interface and the cover plate 1 are both designed with a fixed angle, which cannot be adapted to multiple environments and has poor versatility.
