Abstract

Provided is an electrical actuator for a variable geometry turbocharger. A lever is disposed outside a housing and is connected to a bottom end of an output shaft of a deceleration device, a ground structure is installed between a printed circuit board and a housing protrusion so as to prevent an electromagnetic interference (EMI) from occurring, a part of insertion parts is inserted in and is fixed to the printed circuit board, an end of an elastic part is mounted on the housing protrusion so that the ground structure can be maintained by an elastic force.

Claims (11)

1 . An electrical actuator for a variable geometry turbocharger, comprising:

a lever that is disposed outside a housing and is connected to a bottom end of an output shaft of a deceleration device; and

a ground structure that is installed between a printed circuit board and a housing protrusion so as to prevent an electromagnetic interference (EMI) from occurring.

2 . The electrical actuator of claim 1 , wherein the ground structure comprises a flat panel part, insertion parts that are upwardly refracted from the flat panel part and are inserted into the printed circuit board, and an elastic part that extends downwardly from the flat panel part and having elasticity, wherein a part of the insertion parts is inserted into and is fixed to the printed circuit board, and an end of the elastic body is mounted on a housing protrusion so that the ground structure is able to be maintained by an elastic force.

3 . The electrical actuator of claim 1 , wherein the ground structure is one of an elastic body and a group clip.

4 . The electrical actuator of claim 3 , wherein the elastic body is one of a leaf spring and a compression spring.

5 . The electrical actuator of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises an insertion hole in which the output shaft is inserted, and housing protrusions protrude from a periphery of the insertion hole and contact an extension part of an output gear so as to limit a rotation angle of the output gear.

6 . The electrical actuator of claim 1 , further comprising a restoring spring that is connected to the output gear of the deceleration device and causes the lever to be moved to an initial position of the lever when a supply of power is stopped.

7 . The electrical actuator of claim 6 , wherein the restoring spring is connected to the output gear and causes the lever to be moved to the initial position of the lever when the supply of power is stopped, and a top end of the restoring spring is hung in a hanging part of the output gear, and a bottom end of the restoring spring is fixed to a bottom of the housing.

8 . The electrical actuator of claim 6 , wherein the restoring spring is a torsion spring.

9 . The electrical actuator of claim 1 , wherein the housing further comprises a magnet installed at one side of the output shaft and a sensor, and the sensor measures a rotation angle of the output gear using a change of flux of the magnet.
