Abstract
An exhaust gas recirculating device having a regulator integrally formed with an air horn of the carburetor, a throttle body and an insulator, both secured to a carburetor flange, a groove cut on the underside of the carburetor flange, a plate interposed between the flange and the suction manifold, said groove and plate forming an exhaust gas recirculating passage, a variable throttle valve, a throttle valve, and a link means interconnecting the variable throttle valve and the throttle valve, whereby exhaust gas from the engine is recirculated to downstream of the throttle valve. With this invention the exhaust gas recirculating device can be incorporated into conventional carburetors with minor modifications on the carburetor.
Claims10
An exhaust gas recirculating device of an engine communicating with a suction manifold and having an exhaust pipe and having a carburetor and an exhaust gas recirculating passage leading from the exhaust pipe, comprising:
- a throttle valve mounted in the carburetor,
- two valves comprising an exhaust gas recirculating EGR valve and a variable throttle valve, both of said two valves being disposed in the exhaust gas recirculating passage leading from the exhaust pipe of the engine, said exhaust gas recirculating passage leads to downstream of the throttle valve in the carburetor,
- said carburetor includes a carburetor flange,
- an insulator,
- a variable throttle valve body is secured said carburetor flange together with said insulator,
- a regulator means for being actuated by negative pressure downstream of the throttle valve of the carburetor for operating said EGR valve,
- said carburetor forms an air horn defining a suction air passage,
- said regulator means being formed integrally with said air horn of said carburetor, said air horn is formed with a bore forming a small air passage connecting said regulator means with said suction air passage of the air horn;
- link means interconnecting said throttle valve and said variable throttle valve for keeping constant the ratio of the opening area between said throttle valve and said variable throttle valve and for controling the pressure difference between front and rear sides of the variable throttle valve to reduce Nox;
- and
- said carburetor flange being formed with a groove on an underside of the carburetor flange,
- a plate interposed between said carburetor flange and the suction manifold, said groove and said plate both cooperatively forming a portion of the exhaust gas recirculating passage and an exhaust gas delivery port opening into the suction manifold.
