Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the axial section by the turbosupercharger that typically has fixed geometry turbine, shows the basic element of character of turbosupercharger.This turbosupercharger comprises turbine 1, and turbine 1 joins on the compressor 2 by central bearing housing 3.Turbine 1 comprises the turbine shroud 4 that holds turbine wheel 5.Similarly, compressor 2 comprises the compressor housing 6 that holds compressor impeller 7.Turbine wheel 5 and compressor impeller 7 are installed on two opposite ends of shared turbine shaft 8, and this turbine shaft 8 is supported on the bearing unit 9 that is positioned at bearing housing 3.
Turbine shroud 4 is provided with exhaust gas inlet 10 and waste gas outlet 11.The waste gas that import 10 guiding enter is to annular chamber, and promptly volute 12, and it is around turbine wheel 5 and annular entry passage 13 and its UNICOM by radially extending.The moving compressor impeller 7 of the rotating band of turbine wheel 5 rotates, and the rotation of compressor impeller 7 sucks air and carries pressurized air by annular exit volute 15 to the engine intake (not shown) by axial inlet 14.Comprise be installed to axle on 8 turbine wheel 5 and the assembly of compressor impeller 6 be known as rotor assembly 16.
Simultaneously with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2 (showing the axis profile figure by rotor assembly), turbocharger rotor assembly 16 comprises turbine wheel 5, compressor impeller 7, thrust ring 21a and flinger ring 21, and they all are installed on the turbine shaft 8 with its rotation.Turbine wheel 5 is friction welded on the seal boss 17 that is arranged on axle 8 turbine end (being known as the piston boss sometimes).Sealing boss 17 is enlarged diameter portion of axle 8, has circular groove 18 on its outer surface.Seal ring 19 (for example, piston ring) is arranged in groove 18 and seals up axle 8 with respect to the hole 19a of cartridge housing body wall 19b, and cartridge housing body wall 19b separates turbine 1 and bearing housing 3.
The compressor end of axle 8 is radius-zoom-out parts (integrally referring to 20).The axial bore (axial bores) (being respectively 22,23) that this minor radius is dwindled on the part 20 by the appropriate size in thrust ring 21a, flinger ring 21 and the compressor impeller 7 supports thrust ring 21a, flinger ring 21 and compressor impeller 7.Flinger ring 21 and compressor impeller 7 are roughly coaxial and disposed adjacent one another, flinger ring 21 more close turbine wheels 5 among both.Thrust bearing 21b is arranged between flinger ring 21 and the thrust ring 21a.Flinger ring 21, thrust ring 21a and compressor impeller 7 are clamped in the middle of the annular shoulder 24 and locking nut 25 of axle 8, and this locking nut 25 is placed on the end of axle 8 by screw thread 26.Flinger ring 21 has the part of the hole 28a that extends through in the bearing housing 3, and is provided with peripheral groove 27, and seal ring 28 (for example, piston ring) is positioned at peripheral groove 27.Seal ring 28 is with respect to bearing housing 3 canned rotor assemblies.
For the operation of optimization turbosupercharger, importantly, balancing rotor assembly 16 makes the center of gravity of rotor assembly roughly drop on the rotation axis of rotor assembly, thereby makes the resultant couple minimum of any on its spin axis of rotor assembly 16.Reduce on the rotor assembly 16 relative rotation axi lines resultant couple of a bit, the centrifugal force that rotor assembly 16 is subjected in the time of will making rotor assembly 16 rotations reduces, and then has increased the stability of rotor assembly.Act on the rotor assembly 16 centrifugal force too conference cause the vibration of rotor assembly 16, and therefore increased the turbosupercharger noise and reduced its serviceability.In addition, since rotor assembly 16 constituted its part turbosupercharger can (<140,000rpm) and down operation of high temperature (<200 ℃), the balance of rotor assembly 16 be even more important at very high rotating speed.Since high rotating speed down any imbalance produced acts on power on the rotor assembly 16, and, all can cause compressor impeller 7 radially to trackslip with respect to axle 8, flinger ring 21 and locking nut 26 owing to the infringement of the material property that brings under the high running temperature.Trackslip if compressor impeller 7 takes place, the whole machine balancing of rotor assembly 16 will worsen, thereby cause the increase of compressor boost device vibration and therefore noise increase.Under extreme case, can cause the turbosupercharger catastrophe failure.
The imbalance of rotor assembly 16 may be caused by multiple reason, comprise (for example): the parts squareness inaccuracy at fitting surface place; The inaccuracy of parts manufacturing causes the radial clearance between compressor impeller 7 and/or flinger ring 21 and the axle 8; Be applied to power on compressor impeller 7 and/or the flinger ring 21 because the tightening of locking nut 26 brought with radial component.In addition, may be out of shape under any torque that rotor assembly 16 produces when locking nut 26 is tightened.If the parts of rotor assembly are not the right angles with respect to the clamping axis of miscellaneous part and locking nut 26 (in this case just the axis of rotor assembly 16), be applied to any clamping force on this non-right angle parts and all will have component perpendicular to rotor assembly 16 axis, the imbalance that this can cause moving radially of described parts and therefore produce rotor assembly 16 by tightening locking nut 26 so.
The method that a kind of known being used for obtains acceptable rotor assembly 16 balances is as follows: in case axle 8 has connected turbine wheel 5, just check the balance of turbine wheel 5 and the axle 8 that is connected.This automatic by special setting is finished.In a kind of like this machinery, when axle 8 and impeller 5 during with about 300rpm rotational speed, axle 8 is by air bearings support.Can come its imbalance is proofreaied and correct by the material that grinds off on the impeller 5 then.Compressor impeller 7 is connected on the axle temporarily and carries out balance in the mode identical with axle 8 and impeller 5.In case after being balanced, turbine wheel 5 and coupling shaft 8 are placed in respectively in bearing housing 3 and the turbine 1, the hole 28a that the compressor end of feasible axle 8 extends through shell body wall enters compressor housing 6.Axle 8 is by making its mode of sliding on axle 8 compressor ends receive thrust ring 21a, thrust bearing 21b and flinger ring 21.Compressor impeller 7 is assembled on the axle 8 then, makes compressor impeller 7 be positioned at compressor.Tighten locking nut 26 then to clamp impeller 7, flinger ring 21 and thrust ring 21 near annular shoulder 24.After assembling, whole rotor assembly is a balance, is located in the original position in the turbosupercharger simultaneously.Any imbalance of rotor assembly all can be proofreaied and correct by removing material from least one assembly.Since rotor assembly 16 be balance and be positioned at the turbosupercharger original position, then any remove material from its part (for example back side of compressor impeller) all can be in the serious restriction of the narrow passage that is subjected to turbocharger housing.
Rotor assembly 16 be difficult to enter when being positioned at original position then mean existing balance method usually need from axle 8 pull down locking nut 26, compressor impeller 7, thrust ring 21a and flinger ring 21 and replace one of them.Because all parts of the same type are identical basically, except having a little balance difference, then with after at least one parts can make that rotor assembly 16 is assembled again in the parts of a replacement part replacement rotor assembly, rotor assembly 16 is balance more.The parts replacement process repeats several times as required, so that obtain satisfied rotor assembly 16 balances.In addition, the parts of rotor assembly 16 are replaced the influence of the wearing and tearing that may be compressed 7 pairs of axles 8 of machine impeller.
In addition, known compressor impeller 7 can be with making with axle 8 different materials.For example, compressor impeller 7 can be made by axle 8 usefulness steels with the aluminium manufacturing.The axle 8 and the material of impeller 7 different and be used for that axle 8 and impeller 7 are secured together used big power and can cause fret wear or distortion.This problem is serious in above-mentioned parts replacement process.In case this wearing and tearing or distortion take place, can not proofread and correct any imbalance and the rotor assembly 16 of rotor assembly 16 usually again and must scrap, this causes unnecessary waste and cost.
Fig. 3 shows the turbocharger rotor assembly according to the embodiment of the invention.Although the concrete structure of axle is different with the structure of the rotor assembly of Fig. 2, be used to represent corresponding parts in suitable local same reference numerals.Turbine shaft (whole represent with 8) has two-part: the turbine shaft 8a of turbine wheel 5 is installed and the compressor shaft 8b of compressor impeller 7 is installed.Turbine shaft 8a and turbine wheel 5 have constituted turbine sub-component 38a.As previously mentioned, turbine shaft 8a comprises seal boss part 17, and seal boss part 17 is soldered on the turbine wheel 5 by friction.On the whole, compressor shaft 8b, compressor impeller 7 and their connection set (being locking nut 25 and screw thread 26 in this case) have constituted compressor impeller sub-component 38b.Compressor impeller 7 is sandwiched between the annular shoulder and locking nut 25 that the radius part 35 by the expansion of axle 8b limits, and the helical thread portion 26 of this nut 25 and compressor shaft 8b is to match with the same way as of mode mentioned above.
In order to prevent that the 8b from rotating when tightening locking nut 25, axle 8b (for example) can fix with chuck (chuck), flat face (not shown) perhaps is set comes and suitable tool engagement.
According to the present invention, turbine and compressor sub-component are joined together to constitute complete rotor assembly.In illustrated embodiment, turbine shaft 8a comprises base or the axis hole 29 that is threaded part 30.Compressor shaft 8b has less diameter (integral body is represented with 31), and its shape and size are formed so that can be contained in the hole 29 in friction tight mode.Additionally, the end of compressor shaft 8b comprises screw portion 32, and screw portion 32 matches with helical thread portion 30, so that turbine shaft 8a and compressor shaft 8b can be threaded onto together.Screw portion 32 and helical thread portion 30 be screw-thread fit also, makes when work turbine wheel 5 be applied to any torque on the 8b and all can tighten rather than unclamp joint between turbine shaft 8a and the compressor shaft 8b.
Have on the flinger ring 33 of axial bore 22 and 22a and the smaller diameter portion 31 that thrust ring 33a is supported on compressor shaft 8b, make to be threaded onto a time-out as diaxon 8a and 8b that flinger ring 33 and thrust ring 33a are sandwiched between the expansion radius part 35 of the shoulder 34 of turbine shaft 8a and compressor shaft 8b.When assembling part, can provide thrust bearing 42 between flinger ring 33 on the axle 8b and thrust ring 33a.Enlarge radius part 35 and comprise peripheral groove 36, seal ring 37 (for example, traditional piston type seal ring) is installed in the peripheral groove 36.
According to the present invention, when assembling and balance rotor assembly 16 shown in Figure 3, adopt and prior art diverse ways mentioned above.Turbine shaft 8a is connected on the turbine wheel 5 to constitute turbine sub-component 38a, and the balance of turbine sub-component 38a is to test with the mode that described mode is identical before and to proofread and correct.Assemble compressible machine impeller sub-component 38b between enlarged 35 by compressor impeller 7 being fixed to a 8b and the locking nut 26 then.With this compressor impeller sub-component of back balance 38b.Such balancing machine that uses as indicated above is realized balance, and wherein compressor impeller sub-component 38b is supported by the diameter of pneumatic bearing by axle 8b.Alternatively, the screw rod 32 of axle 8b end can be used to compressor impeller sub-component 38b is connected to balancing machine.Alternatively, this balancing machine can support (also being known as locating face) shoulder 39.Other methods that are used for the installation compressor impeller sub-component of balance also are conspicuous to those skilled in the art.Again,, perhaps preferably, remove material, obtain the balance of acceptable compressor impeller sub-component 38b from compressor impeller 7 by increasing material to compressor impeller 7.With described conventional rotor 16 assembling methods are opposite before, the major component of balance, promptly the balance of turbine wheel sub-component 38a and compressor impeller sub-component 38b can not realize under the situation of turbosupercharger original position at rotor assembly 16.This makes equilibrium process more direct, because no longer include the restriction of rotor assembly 16 member passage.For example, no longer need usually to dismantle or change single parts to obtain balance.
After compressor impeller sub-component 38b balance, flinger ring 33 and thrust ring 33a are installed on the compressor shaft 8b.Turbine wheel sub-component 38a is inserted into the turbine end of bearing housing 3.Before smaller diameter portion 31 is inserted in the base 29, compressor impeller sub-component 38b is inserted into the compressor end of bearing housing and rotates, so that axle 8a and 8b are fixed to one another to together by screw portion 32 and screw device 30.As previously mentioned, the direction that relatively rotates that they need be secured together between turbine wheel sub-component 38a and the compressor impeller sub-component 38b makes that being applied to any torque on the turbine wheel 5 when turbocharger operation all can tighten binding between turbine wheel sub-component 38a and the compressor impeller sub-component 38b.In this mode, receive rotor assembly 16 by turbosupercharger by bearing unit 9.In order to rotate compressor shaft 8b relative to turbine shaft 8a utilizing screw rod and screw device 30,32, can tool using engage the locking nut 25 of hexagonal cross-section form.Compare with the moment that the locking nut 25 of tightening compressor impeller 7 next doors is required, screw the required moment of a 8a, 8b and be much smaller.This guarantees can not produce the balance of destroying compressor sub-component 38b and then the slip that destroys the balance of whole rotor assembly rotor assembly 16 with diaxon 8a, when 8b links together between compressor 7 and locking nut 25.
Axle 8a, 8b make that they have close tolerance fit when they are threaded onto a time-out, so that obtain good concentricity.In addition, the longitudinal axis of hole 29 and smaller diameter portion 31 makes that working as axle 8a, a 8b is threadingly attached to a time-out, and axle 8a, a 8b are coaxial.This helps to guarantee when the turbine sub-component 38a of pre-equilibration is connected to compressor impeller sub-component 38b and goes up, and resulting rotor assembly 16 is balances roughly.In addition, preferably between the longitudinal axis of matched edges (or shoulder) 34 and axle 8a, and has good squareness between the longitudinal axis of matched edges 39 and spool 8b.This helps also to guarantee that be coaxial when axle 8a and 8b are secured together.In addition, flinger ring 33 and thrust ring 33a make them have the face of two almost parallels, are connected one to the other to these two faces of a time-out at axle (8a and 8b) and engage with matched edges (34 and 39), and be mated to guarantee that a 8a and 8b are coaxial.
The advantage of the assembling method that is proposed is: compare with existing assembling method, when being assembled into rotor assembly 16 on the turbosupercharger, reduced the quantity of parts surface of contact.Therefore any this parts surface of contact all can cause the imbalance of rotor assembly 16, reduces the imbalance that the parts surface of contact minimizes any possible rotor assembly 16.Can before structure rotor assembly 16, assemble and balance compressor impeller sub-component 38b.It is uneven and then cause final rotor assembly 16 unbalanced factors that the balance of compressor impeller sub-component 38b can compensate the various compressor impeller sub-component 38b that cause, and comprising: the parts squareness inaccuracy of any matching surface between the parts of compressor assembly; The imbalance that cooperates inaccuracy to produce between compressor impeller 7 and the axle 8b; Any one single parts imbalance in axle 8b, compressor impeller 7 or locking nut 25; And because any imbalance that the compressor impeller sub-component 38b distortion that fastening nut 25 causes is produced.Therefore, before structure compressor impeller sub-component 38b, no longer need balance to constitute the single parts of compressor impeller sub-component 38b.In case compressor impeller sub-component 38b balance is owing to the caused imbalance of inaccuracy of any one in its constituent elements can not cause the imbalance of rotor assembly 16 again.Thereby, have only the smaller diameter portion 31 of a 8b and the concentricity between the base 29, and flinger ring 33 and thrust ring 33a matching surface, can cause the imbalance of rotor assembly 16.Can predict, but the number of the minimizing rotor assembly 16 unbalanced energy will mean that the processing inaccuracy of flinger ring and thrust ring 33a will be not enough to cause the unacceptable imbalance of rotor assembly 16.
In addition, owing to turbine wheel sub-component 38a and the fixing required together torque of compressor impeller sub-component 38b are significantly adopted the fixedly required torque of all parts of prior art rotor assembly 16 of locking nut 25 less than passing through, so make power that fastening sub-component 38a, 38b produce, that act on the rotor assembly 16 cause distortion and then make rotor assembly 16 unbalanced probabilities littler.
As previously mentioned, during use, rotor assembly 16 is supported on the interior bearing unit 9 of turbosupercharger.The arbitrary portion 40 that rotor assembly can be arranged such that the axle 8a that can be out of shape potentially in response to tightening of helical thread portion 30 no longer by 9 of bearing uniies around.This makes any distortion of axle 8a can not influence the gap between bearing unit 9 and the axle 8a.Any friction that reduces all can increase between a 8a and the bearing unit 9 in gap perhaps makes a 8a be stuck in the bearing unit 9.
Opposite with existing rotor assembly, promptly compressor end piston packing 28 is positioned at the groove 27 of flinger ring 21 in rotor assembly 16 as shown in Figure 2, and the application's seal ring 37 is arranged in the groove 36 that enlarges radius part 35.This allows the axial length of flinger ring to be shortened, and increases thereby compare the length of having avoided the application's rotor assembly 16 with traditional turbocharger rotor assembly (what promptly be used in combination with major diameter part 35 is the standard flinger ring).This allows the application's rotor assembly 16 and traditional rotor assembly to exchange.
Fig. 4 shows according to another optional embodiment of the present invention.Its form and previous embodiment substantially is very similar, and therefore similarly feature adopts identical reference character.Difference between this embodiment and the last embodiment is that smaller diameter portion 31 is formed the part of turbine wheel sub-component 38a, and 38b is relative with the compressor impeller sub-component.Therefore, the base 29 of this embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 4 is formed the part of compressor impeller sub-component 38b, and 38a is relative with the turbine wheel sub-component.
Embodiment shown in Figure 4 also comprises the flinger ring 41a that forms one with thrust ring.The overall permanence of thrust ring and flinger ring makes has eliminated flinger ring independent among the embodiment of front and the surface of contact between the thrust ring.Again, because each parts surface of contact can cause rotor assembly 16 imbalances, the quantity that therefore reduces parts surface of contact in the rotor assembly 16 can minimize the imbalance of any possible rotor assembly 16.However, it is to be understood that the flinger ring 41a that embodiment's noted earlier two-part flinger ring and thrust ring can alternative combinations.Similarly, can recognize that two-part flinger ring and thrust ring can be substituted by the combination flinger ring of embodiments of the invention shown in Figure 4 among the embodiment of front.
Fig. 4 embodiment's thrust bearing 42 is shown in Figure 5, and it comprises radial groove 44, and the size of radial groove 44 forms and makes it partly to match with the thrust ring of the flinger ring/thrust ring that makes up.As known in the art, thrust bearing 42 also has oil duct 43.
Fig. 6 shows according to another embodiment of the present invention.Under suitable situation, used the reference character identical among Fig. 6 with Fig. 3 to 5.Complementary fit surface 48 between the enlarged 35 of axle 8b and the surface 47 of the complementary fit between the compressor impeller 7 and locking nut 25 and the compressor impeller 7 all is that frustum is conical.When compressor 7 was fixed on the 8b by tightening of nut 25, the conical fitting surface 47,48 of frustum cooperatively interacted, so that help compressor impeller 7 to concentrate on axle 8b.In addition, when rotor assembly 16 work, matching surface 47,48 cooperatively interacts to help prevent compressor 7 with respect to moving radially along axle 8b.Thereby the balance of rotor assembly 16 is not easy to prolong in time and worsens when rotor assembly 16 uses.In addition, the characteristic of matching surface can reduce soft compressor impeller 7 owing to be fixed to the wearing and tearing that the hard axle 8b of different geometries goes up generation.
In the embodiment shown, the matching surface of compressor impeller 7 is recessed, and has slight curving profile with respect to the rotor assembly axis.Should be realized that, also can protrude, and the matching surface on the axle is recessed as the replacement of compressor impeller matching surface.Should the surface need be crooked equally, but can be positioned on the conical surface.In addition, can use the feature of other replacements to stop compressor impeller 7 moving radially with respect to axle 8b.
Except simplifying assembly and balance turbocharger rotor axle, the embodiment of the invention can also allow turbine and compressor impeller sub-component separately, to help the maintenance and repair of turbosupercharger.
Other improvement for the invention described above embodiment and the present invention's application it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that.
