Regulating device for an internal combustion engine

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

• an 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 the 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 second 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
• the guide ribs are arranged on the second surface of the regulating element so that an exhaust gas flow flows into the intake pipe when the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is opened.
