Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0455877A2] A load control device is provided with a throttle valve (9) determining the output of an internal combustion engine, which valve is rotationally fixed to a throttle valve shaft (32) supported in the throttle valve housing (30). In idling operation the throttle valve shaft (32) is controlled by an electric motor (14) and a post-connected four-bar linkage (16). This includes a pinion (14) arranged on the output shaft of the electric motor (14), which pinion meshes with a segment gear (50) which is drive-connected via a second linkage (53) to a rotor (54) driving the throttle valve shaft (32). Owing to the advantageous arrangement of the four-bar linkage (16) a very large transmission ratio can be obtained between the output shaft (40) of the electric motor (14) and the throttle valve shaft (32), so that it is possible to manage with a very small, cost-effective electric motor. <IMAGE>
