1. A variable flow valve mechanism used in a turbocharger in which a gas passage to achieve a variable flow rate of an exhaust gas to be supplied to a turbine wheel side is formed inside a turbine housing or inside a connection body connected to the turbine housing in a communicating state, the variable flow valve mechanism configured to open and close an opening of the gas passage, the variable flow valve mechanism comprising:
a stem rotatably supported by a support hole penetrating through an outer wall of the turbine housing or the connection body, the stem including a base end portion projecting to outside of the turbine housing or the connection body; a link member integrally provided at the base end portion of the stem and configured to be driven by an actuator to swing in forward and reverse directions around a center axis of the stem; an attachment member integrally provided at the stem and including an attachment hole penetrating through the attachment member; a valve provided fitted into the attachment hole in the attachment member, allowed to have backlash on the attachment member, the valve including
a valve body capable of coming into contact with and separating from a valve seat on the opening side of the bypass passage, anda valve shaft integrally formed at the center of the valve body and fitted into the attachment hole in the attachment member; a clasp integrally provided at a tip end portion of the valve shaft and configured to prevent the valve from being separated from the attachment member; a spacer provided to at least any of a portion of the valve shaft between the clasp and the attachment member and a portion of the valve shaft between the attachment member and the valve body; and a guard wall formed on at least any one of the clasp, the attachment member, and the valve body in such a way that the guard wall surrounds the spacer. |
