    Abstract: An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve assembly includes a valve housing with a wall defining a flow passage. The valve housing defines a bore communicating with the flow passage. A shaft is supported in the bore and extends into the flow passage. A flap is supported on the shaft in the flow passage. The flap is movable relative to the flow passage between a closed position and an open position. A sealing member projects from the wall into the flow path. The sealing member has a sealing surface that interacts with the flap in the closed position to inhibit gas flow through the flow passage, an opposite surface tapering toward the wall, and a circumferential end surface proximate and tapered away from the bore. The flap is coined against the sealing surface. A spider assembly is positioned between the shaft and a drive shaft of an actuator assembly.

    Abstract: An EGR gas distributor includes an inflow portion into which EGR gas that has passed through an EGR valve flows, a first EGR port connected to a section of the intake manifold in which intake air introduced into the first cylinder flows, a second EGR port connected to a section of the intake manifold in which intake air introduced into the second cylinder flows, a first gas passage that connects the inflow portion and the first EGR port to each other, and a second gas passage that connects the first gas passage and the second EGR port to each other. A shortest path between the first EGR port and the second EGR port is longer than both of a shortest path between the inflow portion and the first EGR port and a shortest path between the inflow portion and the second EGR port.

    Abstract: A valve device includes a shaft, a valve body, and a housing including a valve opening. An outwardly facing surface of the valve body is out of contact with the housing and a valve-facing surface is in contact with the housing in a fully closed state in which the valve body closes the valve opening. A valve seal surface includes a first valve seal surface protruding in a valve closing direction and a second valve seal surface recessed in a valve opening direction. A first seal distance in a radial direction from an outer diameter end of the first valve seal surface to a rotation axis is shorter than a second seal distance in the radial direction from an outer diameter end of the second valve seal surface to the rotation axis. The first valve seal surface and the second valve seal surface each have at least a curved surface.
