Regulating device for an internal combustion engine

A regulating device for an internal combustion engine, the regulating device comprising:

• an intake pipe;
• a first valve seat arranged in the intake pipe;
• an exhaust gas recirculation pipe configured to open into the intake pipe;
• a housing configured to have the intake pipe and the exhaust gas recirculation pipe be formed therein;
• a shaft configured to act as an axis of rotation, the shaft being arranged perpendicular to a center line of the intake pipe and to a center line of exhaust gas recirculation pipe;
• and
• a regulating element eccentrically mounted on the shaft, the regulating element comprising a first surface, a second surface, and guide ribs arranged on the first surface,
• wherein,
• in a first end position of the regulating element, in which the intake pipe is at least throttled upstream of an opening of the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, a normal vector of the first surface points to an upstream side of the intake pipe,
• in a second end position of the regulating element, in which the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is closed, a normal vector of the second surface points to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, and
• a guide-rib-free area of the first surface of the regulating element is configured to rest against the first valve seat in the first end position.
