Intake module of a fresh air system

Abstract

An intake module of a fresh air system for an internal combustion engine may include a housing having openings through which fresh air is flowable, and a control device for controlling a cross-section of the openings. The control device may include at least one control staff rotationally mounted about an axis rotation on the housing by at least one bearing bracket, and at least one control valve rotationally fixed on the control shaft for at least one of the openings. The housing may have at least one bearing receiving portion having an insertion opening through which the bearing bracket may be inserted in an insertion direction oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation. The bearing bracket may have a first bearing part having a first bearing section on which the control shaft rests with a circumferential section, and a second bearing part having a second bearing section opposite the first bearing section on which the control shaft rests with a second circumferential section opposite the first circumferential section. The bearing parts may each have an inner surface facing one another in a transverse direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation and insertion direction, and at least one flat positioning surface extending perpendicularly to the transverse direction and raised from the inner surface. The positioning surfaces of the first and second bearing parts may rest flat against each other, and a gap may be formed in the transverse direction between the inner surfaces outside the positioning surfaces.
