Abstract
An intake device includes: an intake port; and a valve body which is disposed in the intake port and is rotated around a rotation axial line between an open/closed position, in which the valve body includes a valve body main body made of a resin, an elastically deformable seal portion formed to extend along an outer circumferential portion of the valve body main body, and a projection which is provided at a surface part adjacent to a region in which the seal portion is formed in the valve body main body, and has a shape that gradually becomes tapered toward a tip end side.

An intake device comprising:
- an intake port;
- and
- a valve body which is disposed in the intake port and is rotated around a rotation axial line between an open/closed position,
- wherein the valve body includes a valve body main body made of a resin, an elastically deformable seal portion formed to extend along an outer circumferential portion of the valve body main body, and a projection which is provided at a surface part adjacent to a region in which the seal portion is formed in the valve body main body, and has a shape that gradually becomes tapered toward a tip end side.
A manufacturing method of a valve body comprising:
- preparing a valve body main body which is disposed to be rotatable in an intake port made of a resin, and includes a projection which is provided at a surface part adjacent to a region in which an elastically deformable seal portion is formed in the valve body and has a shape that gradually becomes tapered toward a tip end side;
- disposing the prepared valve body main body in a valve body main body disposing region of a seal portion molding die;
- applying a mold clamping load to the projection disposed in the valve body main body disposing region of the seal portion molding die by the seal portion molding die;
- and
- forming the seal portion by allowing a seal portion forming material to flow into the seal portion disposing region of the seal portion molding die in a state where the mold clamping load is applied to the projection.
