Patent EP-1098078-A3 (EP)
Inventor: STUART PHILIP EDWARD ARTHUR
IPC: F02D9/10
Filed: 2000-11-01
Abstract: The subject invention is a linkage assembly for an electronically controlled
throttle (ETC) that provides for the precise setting of a limp home engine speed
for a vehicle. Essentially a controlled amount of movement is attained between
a closed position and a limp home throttle position. A throttle valve is attached
to a first shaft and rotates to regulate air intake. The first shaft is attached to a
sector gear. The sector gear is driven by the ETC. A stop bracket limits the
amount that the sector gear can close the throttle valve. The stop bracket defines
an opening, and a cam is disposed within the opening. A spring biases the stop
bracket against the cam. Normally, the ETC can overcome the spring and the stop
bracket is forced against the cam such that stop bracket contacts the cam to define
a closed throttle position. Of course, when operational the ETC can drive the
valve to open position as demanded by the vehicle. The limp home engine speed
is set by a preset by the difference between the length of the opening of the stop
bracket and a width of the cam. If the ETC becomes disabled, there is not enough
force to overcome the spring and move the sector gear to the closed throttle
position, instead the sector gear remains at the second stop position to provide the
limp home engine idle speed that allows a driver to sufficiently maneuver the
vehicle.

the drive member 18 and an intermediate member 30 movable
axially in relation to the drive and driven members. Grooves
are arranged on the same side of the intermediate member to
face the grooves of both the drive member and the driven
member. A first set of balls 36 is engaged in the grooves 20
of the drive member 18 and the intermediate member 30 and a
second set of balls 34 is engaged in the grooves 28 of the
driven member 26 and the intermediate member 30 so as to
