Abstract
A regulating device for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas recirculation pipe which opens into an intake pipe which are both formed in a housing, and a regulating element eccentrically mounted on a shaft. The shaft is arranged perpendicular to a center line of the intake pipe and the exhaust gas recirculation pipe. The regulating element includes a first surface, a second surface, and guide ribs arranged on the first surface. In a first end position of the regulating element, in which the intake pipe is at least throttled upstream of an opening of the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, a normal vector of the first surface points to an upstream side of the intake pipe. In a second end position of the regulating element, in which the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is closed, a normal vector of the second surface points to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe.
