Patent ID: 7669581

Claim:
A throttle control apparatus having a fluid passage connecting with a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, the throttle control apparatus comprising: a valve for communicating and blocking the fluid passage; a motor for generating driving force to rotate the valve in at least one of an open rotative direction and a close rotative direction; a plurality of gears for transmitting the driving force of the motor to the valve; a biasing unit for generating biasing force to bias the valve in the close rotative direction; and a control unit for supplying electricity to the motor to generate the driving force, wherein when the control unit terminates electricity supply to the motor, the valve is biased to a full close position by being applied with the biasing force of the biasing unit, and when the control unit performs a full close control to manipulate the valve toward the full close position, the control unit continues electricity supply to the motor to stop the valve at a full close control point, which is set in advance of the full close position, wherein the full close control point is an intermediate position in which the valve is manipulated from the full close position in the open rotative direction.
