Abstract
A EGT valve of the present invention includes: a valve shaft vertically disposed and moving up and down by rotating about a vertical rotational axis; a cylindrical cam integrally fitted around an upper portion of the valve shaft and having a spiral groove on an outer side and a polyhedron at an upper end; a fixed bearing fixed to a side of the cylindrical camp with an end slidably inserted in the spiral groove; a rotary gear having the polyhedron inserted on the rotational axis therein and rotated by a rotary motor; an elevating block disposed at an upper end of the valve shaft passing through the cylindrical cam and pushed upward by the valve shaft when the valve shaft is moved up; a pressing spring applying downward elasticity to the elevating block; a magnet plate fixed to a side of the elevating block; a hall sensor sensing up-down movement of the magnet plate; and a housing keeping the valve shaft, the cylindrical camp, the rotary gear, and the elevating block therein.
