Abstract

A bypass valve apparatus may include an upper body, a lower body in which the upper surface thereof is coupled with the lower surface of the upper body and the lower surface thereof is coupled to an upper end portion of the compressed air passage, a solenoid disposed in the upper body, a plunger movable in the hollow of the upper body and the hollow of the lower body depending on the electric source supplied to the solenoid, a return spring returning the plunger to the original position when the electric source of the solenoid is released, an inlet, an outlet formed at a side end portion of the lower body, and a taper groove formed in a taper shape at a portion spaced from the outlet on an internal circumference in the hollow of the lower body.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bypass valve apparatus which is provided to a compressed air passage for selectively bypassing compressed air being supplied to an intercooler from a turbocharger, comprising:
an upper body formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having an upper surface thereof which is closed and a lower surface which is open;
a lower body formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having an upper surface and a lower surface which are open, wherein the upper surface thereof is coupled with the lower surface of the upper body and the lower surface thereof is coupled to an upper end portion of the compressed air passage;
a solenoid disposed in the upper body to selectively receive an electric source;
a plunger making an up and down reciprocal motion in a hollow of the upper body and a hollow of the lower body depending on the electric source supplied to the solenoid;
an elastic member returning the plunger to an original position thereof when the electric source of the solenoid is released;
an inlet opened or closed depending on the reciprocal motion of the plunger and formed at a lower end portion of the lower body to fluidically-communicate the hollow of the lower body with the compressed air passage;
an outlet formed at a side end portion of the lower body to fluidically-communicate the hollow of the lower body with an intake line of an engine; and
a taper groove formed in a taper shape at a portion spaced from a facing the outlet on an internal circumference in the hollow of the lower body.

2. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inlet is configured to be opened by raising the plunger and the compressed air of the compressed air passage flows into the intake line after sequentially passing the inlet, the hollow of the lower body, and the outlet in a case that a throttle valve is closed.

3. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the taper groove is formed at a portion formed in a semicircle shape, which is spaced from the outlet on an internal circumference of the hollow of the lower body.

4. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the taper groove is formed in a taper shape.

5. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the taper groove has the taper shape having a circular cone, wherein a lower side of the circular cone faces the inlet.

6. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hollow of the lower body is formed in a circular shape.

7. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hollow of the lower body is formed in a shape that a semicircle to be adjacent to the outlet is spaced from an opposite semicircle and the semicircle to be adjacent to the outlet and the opposite semicircle are connected with each other.

8. A bypass valve apparatus which is provided to a compressed air passage for selectively bypassing compressed air being supplied to an intercooler from a turbocharger, comprising:
an upper body formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having an upper surface thereof which is closed and a lower surface which is open;
a lower body formed in a hollow cylindrical shape having an upper surface and a lower surface which are open, wherein the upper surface thereof is coupled with the lower surface of the upper body and the lower surface thereof is coupled to an upper end portion of the compressed air passage;
a solenoid disposed in the upper body to selectively receive an electric source;
a plunger making an up and down reciprocal motion in a hollow of the upper body and a hollow of the lower body depending on the electric source supplied to the solenoid;
an elastic member returning the plunger to an original position thereof when the electric source of the solenoid is released;
an inlet opened or closed depending on the reciprocal motion of the plunger and formed at a lower end portion of the lower body to fluidically-communicate the hollow of the lower body with the compressed air passage;
an outlet formed at a side end portion of the lower body to fluidically-communicate the hollow of the lower body with an intake line of an engine; and
a cylinder portion, which is an internal circumference of the lower body, wherein the hollow of the lower body is formed in a shape that a semicircle to be adjacent to the outlet is spaced from an opposite semicircle and the semicircle to be adjacent to the outlet and the opposite semicircle are connected with each other to form a shape similar to an ellipse.

9. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the inlet is configured to be opened by raising the plunger and the compressed air of the compressed air passage flows into the intake line after sequentially passing the inlet, the hollow of the lower body, and the outlet in a case that a throttle valve is closed.

10. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 8 , further including a taper groove formed in a taper shape at a portion spaced from the outlet on an internal circumference in the hollow of the lower body.

11. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the taper groove is formed at a portion formed in a semicircle shape, which is spaced from the outlet on an internal circumference of the hollow of the lower body.

12. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the taper groove is formed in a taper shape.

13. The bypass valve apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the taper groove has the taper shape having a circular cone, wherein a lower side of the circular cone faces the inlet.
