Element of an Exhaust Line Comprising Valve with Added Stoppers

摘要

An exhaust line element comprises a valve body, a shutter, a pivot link connecting the shutter to the valve body, an upstream tube, and a downstream tube. At least one first stopper is attached on an inner surface of the valve body. The shutter abuts against the first stopper in the closing off position. The first stopper defines a longitudinal position of at least one of the upstream tube and the downstream tube relative to the valve body.

1. An exhaust line element comprising:
a tubular valve body inwardly defining a passage for exhaust gases, the tubular valve body having a longitudinal central axis; a shutter positioned in the passage; a pivot link connecting the shutter to the tubular valve body, and arranged such that the shutter is rotatable around a rotation axis between a first position closing off the passage and a second position freeing the passage; an upstream tube and a downstream tube between which the valve body is inserted, the passage fluidly connecting the upstream tube to the downstream tube; at least one first stopper attached on an inner surface of the valve body, the shutter abutting against the first stopper in the first position; wherein the first stopper defines a longitudinal position of at least one of the upstream tube and the downstream tube relative to the valve body.
