Patent ID: 10196990

Abstract:
An intake module of a fresh air system for an internal combustion engine may include a housing having a plurality of openings through which fresh air is flowable, and a control device for controlling a cross-section of at least one of the openings. The control device may include at least one control staff and at least one control valve arranged on the control shaft in a rotationally fixed manner for the at least one opening. The control shaft may be mounted on the housing by at least one bearing bracket such that the control shaft is rotatable about a rotational axis. The housing may have at least one bearing receiving portion for receiving the bearing bracket. The bearing receiving portion may have an insertion opening through which the bearing bracket may be inserted in an insertion direction oriented perpendicular to the rotational axis. The bearing bracket may have two outer surfaces facing away from one another in a transverse direction running perpendicular to the rotational axis and to the insertion direction. On each outer surface, the bearing bracket may have at least two positioning blocks projecting therefrom and spaced apart from one another in the insertion direction. The bearing receiving portion may have a guide contour for each positioning block for aligning the bearing bracket in a longitudinal direction running parallel to the rotational axis, and in the transverse direction.
