Abstract
A valve housing that has a flow passage. Arranged in the flow passage are a valve seat that includes a valve hole, valve body that can be seated on the valve seat, and a section of a rotary shaft with the valve body fixed to the tip thereof. A ring-shaped seat surface is formed in the valve hole of the valve seat. A ring-shaped sealing surface corresponding to the seat surface is formed on the perimeter of the disc-shaped valve body. By rotating the rotary shaft, the valve body rotates open from a closed state in which the valve body is seated on the valve seat and the sealing surface is in contact with the seat surface. A tapered upstream-side flow regulating part is provided in the valve hole of the valve seat, so as to widen from the seat surface toward the upstream side of the EGR gas flow.
