Abstract
The throttle valve control device of the present invention comprises a structural body in which a throttle valve , a throttle shaft and a throttle lever are integrally connected, a return spring , one end of which is latched to the structural body , and which urges the throttle valve so as to rotate in the closing direction, a free lever which is engaged with the other end of the return spring, and which can contact and move away from the structural body, and an actuator which drives the free lever. The driving of the free lever by the actuator causes the structural body to pivot, so that the throttle valve is opened and closed in a specified range, thus controlling the idle speed. As a result, a throttle valve control device which has a simple structure and which can be made compact is provided.
