An EGR valve includes: an inner housing including a flow passage; a valve element which opens and closes the flow passage; a valve shaft on which the valve element is provided; an outer housing in which the inner housing is assembled; and a drive unit which drives the valve shaft. The flow passage of the inner housing includes an inlet and an outlet. The outer housing includes an assembly hole and separate flow passages. When the inner housing is assembled in the assembly hole, the inlet and the outlet of the inner housing communicate with the separate flow passages of the outer housing; an inlet sealing member is provided between the inner housing and the outer housing to correspond to the periphery of the inlet; and an outlet sealing member is provided between the inner housing and the outer housing to correspond to the periphery of the outlet.

Valve device

A poppet-type EGR valve includes: a housing that includes a flow passage; a valve seat; a valve body allowed to be seated on the valve seat; a valve shaft on which the valve body is provided at one end section thereof; and a drive unit reciprocally driving the valve shaft. The flow passage has an inlet and an outlet and includes a bent passage portion that is bent downstream from the valve seat in a direction perpendicular to the direction toward the inlet. The bent passage portion includes at least one of a section in which the passage area is constant and a section in which the passage area increases toward the downstream direction, and does not include a section in which the passage area decreases toward the downstream direction. In the section in which the passage area increases toward the downstream direction, the passage area changes gradually.

EGR valve and EGR valve device provided with same

An exhaust gas recirculation valve that includes a recirculation passage through which the exhaust gas flows; a valve seat press-fitted onto an inner surface of the recirculation passage; a valve body configured to sit on the valve seat; and a shaft extending through an inside and outside of the recirculation passage and fixed to the valve body and configured to move the valve body relative to the valve seat, in which corrosion-resistant coating is not provided on a portion of the inner surface of the recirculation passage that contacts a peripheral surface of the valve seat, and the corrosion-resistant coating is provided on another portion of the inner surface of the recirculation passage that contacts an end surface of the valve seat in a direction of press-fitting.
