Abstract

In order to protect a rotating portion of an intermediate link lever support pin, an intake air control apparatus provided with main and sub throttle valves is structured such that a wire bracket ( 6 ) supporting valve opening and closing wires (Wa, Wb) is screwed to an outer end surface ( 1 a ) at a throttle drum side of a throttle body ( 1 ), an intermediate link lever support pin ( 23 ) is provided toward the throttle body ( 1 ) side on an inner end surface ( 6 d ) facing to the throttle body ( 1 ) of the wire bracket ( 6 ), an intermediate link lever ( 20 ) rotatably borne to the intermediate link lever support pin ( 23 ) is arranged at the throttle body ( 1 ) side from the inner end surface ( 6 d ), and a rotating portion (R) of the intermediate link lever support pin ( 23 ) and the intermediate link lever ( 20 ) is arranged to face to the inner end surface ( 6 d ).

Claims (9)

1. An intake air control apparatus of an internal combustion engine for a motor cycle, comprising:

a main throttle valve attached to a main throttle shaft operated by a driver for opening and closing an intake passage provided through an inner portion of a throttle body;

a sub throttle valve arranged within an intake passage at an upstream side from said main throttle valve, and attached to a sub throttle shaft operated by a motor driven in correspondence to an operating state of an engine for opening and closing said intake passage;

a wire bracket holding a valve opening wire and a valve closing wire coupling a throttle drum arranged at an end portion of the main throttle shaft and an accelerator grip, and attached to the throttle body;

an idle regulating screw arranged so as to be brought into contact with an idle control arm portion of the throttle drum; and

an intermediate link lever arranged so as to face to a cam lever arranged at an end portion of the sub throttle shaft and arranged so as to face to a first idle control arm portion of the throttle drum;

a rotation of the cam lever being transmitted to the throttle drum via the intermediate link lever so as to open the main throttle valve at a fixed opening degree toward a first idle opening degree,

wherein the wire bracket is arranged on an outer end surface at the throttle drum side of the throttle body by screwing, and the intermediate link lever support pin is arranged on an inner end surface facing to the throttle body of the wire bracket so as to rise toward the throttle body side, and

wherein the intermediate link lever rotatably borne by said intermediate link lever support pin is arranged at the throttle body side from the inner end surface of the wire bracket, and a rotating portion between the intermediate link lever support pin and the intermediate link lever is arranged so as to face to the inner end surface of the wire bracket.
