[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an exhaust gas recirculation valve includes:

[0024] The valve body 101 has a base plate 102 at its bottom and a snap-fit ​​structure. Multiple snap-fit ​​structures are provided and are all located on the base plate 102. The snap-fit ​​structure includes screw holes 201, through holes 202 and stabilizer pins 203. Multiple screw holes 201 are located on the vehicle body and multiple through holes 202 are located on the base plate 102. The positions of each screw hole 201 and each through hole 202 are corresponding. A stabilizer pin 203 is screwed into each screw hole 201. During the initial assembly, the bottom thread of the stabilizer pin 203 is screwed into the screw hole 201, so that the stabilizer pin 203 is assembled into the screw hole 201 of the vehicle body and does not need to be removed thereafter.

[0025] The stabilizing post 203 is located inside the through hole 202. A slot 204 is provided around the stabilizing post 203. A locking block 205 and a retaining spring 206 are locked in the slot 204. The retaining spring 206 is located between the locking end of the locking block 205 and the bottom of the slot 204. The retaining spring 206 can push the locking block 205 out of the slot 204. A limiting post 207 is provided on the locking block 205. A limiting groove 208 is provided on the side wall of the slot 204. The limiting post 207 is located in the limiting groove 208. The combination of the limiting post 207 and the limiting groove 208 can limit the locking block 205 and prevent the locking block 205 from completely coming out of the slot 204.

[0026] During assembly, the bottom thread of the stabilizer 203 is screwed into the screw hole 201, so that the stabilizer 203 is assembled into the screw hole 201 of the vehicle body and cannot be removed. Then, by pressing the locking block 205, the abutment spring 206 is contracted, causing the locking block 205 to retract into the slot 204. At this time, the through hole 202 on the bottom plate 102 of the valve body 101 is fitted onto the stabilizer 203 and the bottom plate 102 is moved down, so that the bottom of the bottom plate 102 is attached to the vehicle body. Then, the pressing of the locking block 205 is released, causing the abutment spring 206 to rebound. Under the abutment action of the abutment spring 206, one end of the locking block 205 extends out of the slot 204, so that the bottom of the locking block 205 is attached to the top of the bottom plate 102, thereby clamping the bottom plate 102 between the locking block 205 and the vehicle body, so as to achieve quick snap-fit ​​between the bottom plate 102 on the valve body 101 and the vehicle body, thus avoiding the use of bolts for connection.

[0027] A side tube 103 is provided on the top periphery of the valve body 101. A first docking plate 104 is provided at the end of the side tube 103. A grabbing structure is provided on the tube body of the side tube 103 near the first docking plate 104. The grabbing structure includes a threaded part 301, a screw ring 302 and a second docking plate 304. The threaded part 301 is provided on the tube body of the side tube 103 near the first docking plate 104. The screw ring 302 is screwed into the threaded part 301. The screw ring 302 can rotate and move on the threaded part 301. Multiple hook rods 303 are arranged in an array laterally on the outer peripheral wall of the screw ring 302. The second docking plate 304 is provided at the end of the outer tube. Multiple through grooves 305 are arranged in an array on the peripheral side wall of the second docking plate 304. The hook end of each hook rod 303 extends through the corresponding through groove 305 and hooks onto the side wall of the second docking plate 304 facing away from the first docking plate 104.

[0028] During assembly, the mating disc 104 on the side tube 103 of the valve body 101 is fastened to the mating disc 304 on the outer tube. The hook ends of each hook rod 303 on the threaded ring 302 extend through the corresponding through grooves 305 on the mating disc 304 to the side wall of the mating disc 304 facing away from the mating disc 104. Then, by rotating the threaded ring 302, it rotates and moves away from the outer tube on the threaded part 301, so that the hook ends of each hook rod 303 are offset from the corresponding through grooves 305. This causes the hook ends of each hook rod 303 to hook onto the side wall of the mating disc 304 facing away from the mating disc 104, thereby achieving a quick snap-fit ​​connection between the mating disc 104 at the end of the side tube 103 on the valve body 101 and the mating disc 304 at the end of the outer tube, thus avoiding the use of bolts for connection.

[0029] The threaded ring 302 is composed of two open arc-shaped bodies. Each end of the two arc-shaped bodies is provided with a mating block 401. Each end of the mating block 401 of one arc-shaped body is provided with a stud 402, and each end of the mating block 401 of the other arc-shaped body is provided with a smooth hole. The stud 402 is inserted into the smooth hole, and a nut 403 is screwed into the end of the stud 402. One side of the nut 403 is tightly attached to the side wall of the mating block 401. By setting the threaded ring 302 into two open arc-shaped bodies, it is easy to assemble the threaded ring 302 into the threaded part 301.

[0030] During assembly, the two arc-shaped bodies are snapped onto the threaded part 301. Then, the studs 402 on the mating blocks 401 at both ends of one arc-shaped body are inserted into the open holes on the mating blocks 401 at both ends of the other arc-shaped body. Finally, the nuts 403 are screwed into the studs 402, so that one side of the nuts 403 fits tightly against the side wall of the mating block 401. This connects and assembles the two snapped arc-shaped bodies at both ends, forming a complete ring.

[0031] The present invention has been described in detail above. The specific embodiments are provided only to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
