[0017] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiment.
[0018] The transmission mechanism of the compact EGR valve, in combination Figs. 1-2 As shown in the figure, it includes gear shaft 1, double gear 2, power motor 3, motor gear 4, valve piece 4, center rod 6, rack 7, target plate carrier 8, sensor target plate 9, connecting cross rod 10, cross rod shaft 11, first connecting rod 12, second connecting rod 13.
[0019] The EGR valve includes a shell, and the shell is provided with a vertically arranged track.
[0020] The gear shaft 1 is connected to the shell, and a double gear 2 is arranged on the gear shaft 1, and the gear shaft 1 serves to fix the double gear 2; the double gear 2 comprises a large gear and a small gear in synchronous linkage, and serves to transmit torque and change rotation speed.
[0021] A power motor 3 is arranged on the shell, the power motor 3 is a power source of the EGR valve, and the power motor 3 is a bidirectional motor. A motor gear 4 is connected to a motor shaft of the power motor 3, and the motor gear is engaged with the large gear of the double gear 2.
[0022] A cross rod shaft 11 is mounted on the shell, and the position of the cross rod shaft 11 is higher than that of the gear shaft 1. A connecting cross rod 10 is connected to the cross rod shaft 11, one end of the connecting cross rod 10 is hingedly connected to a second connecting rod 13, the other end of the second connecting rod 13 is hingedly connected to a target plate carrier 8, and the target plate carrier 8 can move up and down along a track. A sensor target plate 9 is mounted on the target plate carrier 8, and the sensor target plate 9 serves as a detection target for displacement of the valve piece 4. The sensor target plate 9 can be a metal sheet, a magnetic steel or other material components.
[0023] The other end of the connecting cross rod 10 is hingedly connected to a first connecting rod 12, and the other end of the first connecting rod 12 is hingedly connected to a rack 7 engaged with the small gear of the double gear 2.
[0024] The connecting cross rod 10 and the second connecting rod 13, and the second connecting rod 13 and the target plate carrier 8 are connected through connecting shafts and bearings.
[0025] The connecting cross rod 10 and the first connecting rod 12, and the first connecting rod 12 and the rack 7 are connected through connecting shafts and bearings.
[0026] The bottom end surface of the rack 7 is connected to a center rod 6, and the other end of the center rod 6 is connected to a valve piece 4 for controlling the flow of the EGR valve.
[0027] In actual use, when the valve piece 4 needs to move downward, the gear of the power motor 3 is controlled to move clockwise, so that the double gear 2 rotates counterclockwise, and then drives the engaged rack 7 to move downward, that is, the valve piece 4 is driven to move downward through the center rod 6, so as to achieve the target action of moving the valve piece 4 downward. During the downward movement of the rack 7, the connecting cross rod 10 is made to rotate counterclockwise around the cross rod shaft 11 through the first connecting rod 12; the other end of the connecting cross rod 10 drives the target plate carrier 8 and the sensor target plate 9 to move upward through the second connecting rod 13. That is, when the valve piece 4 moves downward in a straight line, the sensor target plate moves upward on the other side of the double gear. Similarly, when the valve piece moves upward in a straight line, the sensor target plate moves downward on the other side of the double gear. The upward and downward displacement of the valve piece is converted into the upward and downward displacement of the sensor target plate through the above-mentioned connecting structure, the design height of the product is reduced, and the size of the product is further compressed.
