Abstract
A regulating device for an internal combustion engine includes a housing in which is formed an exhaust gas recirculation pipe which opens into an intake pipe, and a regulating element eccentrically mounted on a shaft. The regulating element includes a first surface, a second surface, and guide ribs arranged on the second surface so that an exhaust gas flow flows into the intake pipe when the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is opened. In a first end position of the regulating element, where the intake pipe is at 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, where the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is closed, a normal vector of the second surface points to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe.
