The following detailed description will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings for the relevant parts of the VGT assembly, and it should be noted that, for each component in the present embodiment, the following description is a preferred embodiment of the structure and specific arrangement thereof, and besides the structure and arrangement given below, it can, of course, adopt other ways to achieve the same function and effect, and the embodiment is not limited to these, and for example, a conventional alternative structure of a certain component or a conventional alternative arrangement thereof can be adopted.

Furthermore, it is first explained that the rotational arrangement of the dial plate 2 on the mounting plate 1, and the arrangement of the mounting plate 1 and the rear cover 10, etc. in the supercharger housing, will be described later with reference to the corresponding drawings. Therefore, the blade unit including the lever 3 and the blade 8, and the fork transmission unit including the adjustment pin 4 and the fork 5, etc. will be described in advance.

In this embodiment, the shift lever 3 in the vane unit is specifically configured to receive the rotational driving of the shift disc 2 in the VGT assembly to drive the corresponding vane 8 to rotate, and at this time, as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, the vane 8 of this embodiment has a specific structure including a vane main body 801 and a connecting shaft 802 integrally and fixedly connected to the vane main body 801.

As shown in fig. 7, the lever 3 of the present embodiment includes a lever main body 300 having a bar shape, a connecting portion is provided at one end of the lever main body 300 to form a connection with the blade 8, and a protrusion 301 is also formed at the other end of the lever main body 300 with respect to the connecting portion. Protruding 301 is evagination to driving lever main part 300 one side along the thickness direction of driving lever main part 300, and in the concrete implementation, this protruding 301 is through imbedding in the breach that 2 borders of driving lever correspond and form promptly, constitutes the transmission between driving lever 3 and the driving lever 2 from this and is connected to can accept the rotation of driving lever 2 and drive.

Based on the above, the notch is arranged at the edge of the toggle disc 2 to match with the protrusion 301 to drive the toggle disc 2 to the toggle lever 3, and at this time, the protrusion 301 can be abutted against the inner wall of the notch through two opposite sides of the protrusion 301, so that the toggle lever 3 can be driven to be connected with the toggle disc 2. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the two opposite sides of the protrusion 301 are both provided with a convex arc shape, so that arc-shaped surfaces 3013 on both sides of the protrusion 301 are formed.

The arrangement of the arc-shaped face 3013 not only enables the protrusion 301 to be in better contact with the toggle plate 2, but also can play a certain role in reducing material and weight under the condition of ensuring the structural strength of the protrusion 301.

In this embodiment, the connecting portion disposed on the shift lever 3 is specifically a shift lever shaft 302 integrally formed on the shift lever main body 300, and a connecting hole 303 is also disposed on the shift lever shaft 302, and the blade 8 is partially or completely fixedly connected in the connecting hole 303 through the connecting shaft 802 thereon, thereby forming a connection between the blade 8 and the shift lever 3.

Specifically, the connection shaft body 802 may be press-fitted into the connection hole 303 with interference, and a radially outwardly protruding bulge 803 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connection shaft body 802 to ensure the reliability of the press-fitting connection. The protrusions 803 are preferably provided so as to extend in the axial direction of the connection shaft body 802, and the protrusions 803 are preferably provided so as to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the connection shaft body 802, thereby achieving a better connection effect.

The cross section of the bump 803 in the embodiment may be, for example, a semicircular shape as shown in fig. 6, but besides a semicircular shape, the cross section of the bump 803 may also be other shapes such as a square shape, a triangular shape, or a semi-elliptical shape, and besides a long strip shape extending along the axial direction of the connection shaft body 802, of course, the bump 803 in the embodiment may also be a plurality of convex semispherical shapes, or a plurality of long strip structures extending along the axial direction or the circumferential direction of the connection shaft body 802, and the embodiment is not limited thereto as long as it can improve the interference press-fitting reliability of the connection shaft body 802 in the connection hole 303.

Since the connecting shaft 802 on the blade 8 is pressed into the lever shaft body 302, after the blade 8 and the lever 3 are assembled, the lever shaft body 302 penetrates the mounting plate 1 and contacts the mounting plate 1, and therefore, in order to reduce the wear between the lever shaft body 302 and the mounting plate 1, in the preferred embodiment, a circumferential groove of the lever shaft body 302 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the lever shaft body 302, and the number of the circumferential groove, the depth and the width of the circumferential groove are selected according to design experience on the basis of meeting the structural strength of the lever shaft body 302.

In this embodiment, to the cooperation structure of the connection axis body 802 and the driving lever axis body 302 that adopts, the structure of VGT subassembly is specifically as shown in fig. 2, and through the cooperation structure of connection axis body 802 and driving lever axis body 302 this moment, can guarantee the reliable arrangement of blade 8 to drive by driving disc 2 that can be fine.

In addition, it should be noted that, since the VGT assembly is required to adapt to the high-temperature gas flow erosion environment of the exhaust gas when being used in the supercharger, the material for manufacturing the vanes 8 is generally harder than the shift lever 3 to satisfy the strength and corrosion resistance of the vanes 8 under the gas erosion. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the connecting shaft body 802 is disposed on the blade 8, and the connecting shaft body 802 is press-fitted into the lever shaft body 302, which is obviously smaller in structural size of the connecting shaft body 802 and reduces the material consumption of the whole blade 8 compared with the prior art in which the connecting shaft body 802 constitutes a blade shaft for mounting the blade 8, and the cost of the blade 8 can also be reduced because the material of the blade 8 is expensive. Meanwhile, the deflector rod 3 is made of a material with lower hardness, so that the cost can be reduced in use, and the abrasion between the deflector rod shaft body 302 and the mounting disc 1 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, a material reducing portion recessed or penetrating the shift lever 3 is formed on the other side of the shift lever main body 300 with respect to the protrusion 301, in view of reducing weight and facilitating weight reduction. In this case, as shown in fig. 9, the material reducing portion may be, for example, a material reducing groove 304 recessed in the lever main body 300. It should be noted that, with respect to the shift lever 3 of the present embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, a boss 3011 protruding outward toward the shift lever main body 300 along the thickness direction of the shift lever main body 300 may be configured at one end of the shift lever main body 300, and the protrusion 301 is located on the boss 3011.

As also shown in fig. 7, it should be noted that, when the boss 3011 is disposed, the extension of the boss 3011 along the length direction of the shifter lever main body 300 toward the other end of the shifter lever main body 300 should be greater than that of the protrusion 301. From this, utilize boss 3011 to have that surpasss that portion protruding 3011, alright after driving lever 3 and blade 8 assemble, with the spacing of realizing the axial motion of driving disk 2 equally through the contact of this part and driving disk 2, and then the stability that can further guarantee driving disk 2 and set up on mounting disc 1.

In addition, as an optimized design for the boss 3011, the other side of the boss 3011 is configured to have a curved surface 3012 contacting with the end surface of the lever main body 300, relative to the side of the boss 3011 configuring the end of the lever 3. Through the arrangement of the curved surface 3012, when the boss 3011 and the toggle plate 2 touch, the abrasion between the boss 3011 and the toggle plate 2 can be reduced.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, an end of the shift lever 3 having the boss 3011 and the protrusion 301 is also specifically configured as an end plane 305 formed by the shift lever main body 300, the boss 3011 and the protrusion 301, so that the end of the shift lever 3 is planar. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the other end surface of the lever 3 may be disposed to be a flat surface, so that the lever body 300 has a top plane 306, opposite to the side having the protrusion 301 and the lever shaft body 302. Through being planar top plane 306 and tip plane 305, can make driving lever 3 overall structure more succinct to do benefit to its shaping, compare in the driving lever structure that uses among the present variable cross section turbo charger in addition, the planar design of this embodiment also can reduce driving lever 3's size, reduces its space and occupies, plays certain material reduction and weight reduction effect.

Still referring to fig. 9, as an example of a preferred arrangement of the material reducing groove 304 of the present embodiment, in this case, compared with the boss 3011 on the other side of the shift lever 3, the extension length of the material reducing groove 304 along the length direction of the shift lever 3 may be greater than that of the boss 3011, so that the weight reduction of the shift lever 3 may be facilitated while the structural strength of the shift lever 3 is ensured. As shown in fig. 10, in addition to the material reducing groove 304, the material reducing portion of the present embodiment may also employ a material reducing hole 307, in which case the material reducing hole 307 is disposed through the boss 3011 and the protrusion 301, and thus the protrusion 301 is formed in two halves oppositely disposed.

In the blade unit of the present embodiment, it is preferable that the blade 8 with the connecting shaft body 802 and the lever 3 with the lever shaft body 302 and the protrusion 301 are both formed by metal powder injection molding, so as to facilitate the production of both.

Further, it should be noted that, in addition to the blade 8 and the shift lever 3 being manufactured by a metal powder injection molding process, it is preferable that the adjustment pin 4 and the shift fork 5, etc., which will be mentioned later, be manufactured by a metal powder injection molding process. Of course, in addition to the metal powder injection molding process, the present embodiment can also be obtained by other existing processes for each component, as long as the process can ensure the structural performance of the component to meet the requirements of the use of the component in the variable-section supercharger.

In the present embodiment, for the fork transmission unit formed by the adjustment pin 4, the shift fork 5 and the rocker shaft 7, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, one end of the shift fork 5 is configured with a fork slot 502, the adjustment pin 4 fixedly connected to the dial 2 is inserted into the fork slot 502, and the rocker shaft 7 is connected to the other end of the shift fork 5 opposite to the fork slot 502.

The adjusting pin 4 is provided with an adjusting pin main body 401, one end of the adjusting pin main body 401 is preferably fixedly connected with the toggle plate 2 in an interference press-fitting mode, the other end of the adjusting pin main body 401 extends into the shift fork groove 502, and a wear-resistant layer 402 integrally formed with the adjusting pin main body 401 is also constructed on the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting pin main body 401 extending into the shift fork groove 502. The thickness k of the wear-resistant layer 402 should generally be not less than 0.15mm in design, and may be 0.15mm, 0.18mm, 0.2mm, etc., and at the same time, matching with the connection manner of the above interference press-fitting, in this embodiment, a radially outward convex ring 4011 may be preferably configured on the outer peripheral side of the adjusting pin body 401, one side of the convex ring 4011 is connected with the wear-resistant layer 402, so that the press-fitting of the adjusting pin 4 on the toggle plate 2 as a whole can be facilitated by the design of the convex ring 4011.

Of course, instead of a press-fit connection, the adjusting pin body 401 of the adjusting pin 4 can also be connected to the toggle disk 2 by welding. In addition, as mentioned above, the adjustment pin 4 is also preferably formed by a metal powder injection process, and as a wear-resistant structure, the wear-resistant layer 402 should be made of a wear-resistant alloy, and the inner adjustment pin body 401 should be made of a general heat-resistant steel. In this case, for example, the wear-resistant alloy may be a cobalt-based alloy, a molybdenum-based alloy, or a nickel-tungsten alloy that can withstand a high temperature of 600 ℃ or higher, while the heat-resistant steel may be a steel of an appropriate type, and since the wear-resistant layer 402 and the adjustment pin body 401 form the integral adjustment pin 4, care should be taken to select materials such that the adjustment pin body 401 and the wear-resistant layer 402 have the same or similar thermal expansion coefficient, thereby ensuring a stable structure of the adjustment pin 4 when heated.

By arranging the high-temperature-resistant wear-resistant layer 402 on the adjusting pin 4, the adjusting pin 4 can show good surface wear resistance and toughness of the core part, and the effects of less wear-resistant alloy consumption and part cost reduction can be achieved.

For the shift fork groove 502, a through hole 501 is formed at the other end of the shift fork 5, the rocker shaft 7 is inserted and fixedly connected in the through hole 501, and the fixed connection between the rocker shaft and the rocker shaft can be realized in the directions of interference press fitting or welding. In addition, in order to increase the thickness of the contact portion with the adjusting pin 4 and improve the wear resistance between the shift fork 5 and the adjusting pin 4, the embodiment is a preferable embodiment, wherein the shift fork 5 on two opposite sides of the shift fork groove 502 is further configured with oppositely arranged step portions 503, and the portion of the adjusting pin 4 extending into the shift fork groove 502 is not higher than the top surface of the step portion 503.

In this embodiment, the thickness of the end of the shift fork 5 having the through hole 501 is not increased relative to the increased step 503, so that the weight of the shift fork 5 can be prevented from being increased, and the weight reduction is facilitated. In addition, in the present embodiment, further, two opposite outer end surfaces of one end of the shift fork 5 having the fork groove 502 are also configured to be convex, and each convex outer end surface is configured to be composed of a middle plane 504 located at the middle part and two arc surfaces 505 respectively connected to two sides of the middle plane 504. Therefore, materials can be reduced by adopting the circular arc section and the straight line section, and the effect of reducing weight is also achieved.

In the present embodiment, as mentioned above, the roller 9 is configured to axially limit the position of the toggle plate 2, so as to form a limit structure in the VGT assembly. As shown in fig. 13 and fig. 14 and 15, the limiting structure of the present embodiment includes, in addition to the roller 9, a mounting hole 101 disposed on the mounting plate 1 and penetrating through the mounting plate 1, the roller 9 is connected to the mounting hole 101, and the limiting structures formed by the mounting hole 101 and the corresponding roller 9 are multiple sets disposed along the circumferential direction of the mounting plate 1.

In detail, the roller 9 is press-fitted into the mounting hole 101 by interference from the dial 2 side through its press-in end 903, and the roller 9 also has a head 901 partially blocking the dial 2 side. In addition, the mounting hole 101 of the present embodiment is designed to be a stepped hole whose inner diameter increases along the press-fitting direction of the roller 9, and the inner diameter of the mounting hole 101 increases due to the stepped hole, so that an annular air chamber Q is formed between the press-in end 903 of the roller 9 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 101, one end of the air chamber Q is open, and the other end is closed due to the interference press-fitting of the roller 9.

In the embodiment, through the formation of the air cavity Q with one closed end, air cannot flow in the mounting hole 101, so that the conduction of heat at the blade 8 to the interference section of the mounting hole 101 and the press-in end 903 can be relieved, and the risk that the roller 9 is heated and loosened can be reduced. In addition, in the specific design, the radial thickness of the air cavity Q, i.e. the distance between the outer wall of the press-in end 903 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 101 in the diameter direction of the press-in end 903 or the mounting hole 101, may be generally between 0.3mm and 0.4mm, and it may be 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.38mm or 0.4mm, for example. The inventor tests that when the radial thickness of the air cavity Q is in the interval, the mounting disc 1 and the roller 9 both have good structural performance, and the roller 9 can be effectively prevented from being heated and loosened, and the over-large or over-small radial thickness is unfavorable for the structural performance and the loosening prevention effect.

Referring to fig. 14 and 15, the installation hole 101 of the stepped hole in the present embodiment is specifically composed of a small-diameter hole section 1011 and a large-diameter hole section 1012, and as a preferred embodiment, similar to the installation hole 101, the outer diameter of the end portion of the press-in end 903 on the roller 9 is smaller, so that the press-in end 903 is also stepped. At this time, the press-in end 903 is specifically composed of the large-diameter shaft section 9031 and the small-diameter shaft section 9032, and for the outer diameter W of the large-diameter shaft section 9031, the outer diameter X of the small-diameter shaft section 9032, the inner diameter P of the small-diameter hole section 1011, and the inner diameter L of the large-diameter hole section 1012, W should be slightly larger than P and less than L, and X should be smaller than P and L. It should be noted that, in the press-in end 903 and the mounting hole 101 provided in this embodiment, the large-diameter shaft section 9031 and the small-diameter hole section 1011 are in interference fit, so that the roller 9 can be fixedly mounted in the mounting hole 101, and meanwhile, since the outer diameter of the small-diameter shaft section 9032 is smaller than the outer diameter of the large-diameter hole section 1012, the small-diameter shaft section 9032 of the press-in end 903 does not press the large-diameter hole section 1012 of the mounting hole 101 when the roller 9 is subjected to interference press-fitting, so that the material around the mounting hole 101 on the mounting disc can be prevented from protruding toward the blade side due to pressing, and clamping stagnation caused by interference with the blade 8 can be avoided.

Through the design of the small-diameter shaft section 9032, the press-in end 903 can be conveniently pressed in when being pressed into the mounting hole 101. In order to ensure the stability of the roller 9 fixed in the mounting plate 1 and avoid the cracking of the mounting plate 1 at the position where the roller 9 is installed, the axial length of the press-in end 903 in interference fit with the mounting hole 101, that is, the depth M of the small-diameter hole section 1011, may be 3.8-4.5mm, and may be, for example, 3.8mm, 4.0mm, 4.2mm, or 4.5 mm. Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the axial length S of the press-in end 903 should also be generally smaller than the depth N of the mounting hole 101, and the axial length of the large-diameter shaft section 9031 may be larger than the depth of the small-diameter hole section 1011, that is, S-Y is greater than M.

The present embodiment is directed to the roller 9, and further as a preferred embodiment, a protruding portion 902 with an outer diameter smaller than that of the head 901 is also configured on the side of the roller 9 where the head 901 is connected with the pressure-incoming end 903. The press-in end 903 is attached to the protruding part 902, and as also shown in fig. 13, the outer circumference of the protruding part 902 is spaced from the toggle disk 2 so that the protruding part 902 does not protrude outside the mounting ring 102 as will be described later. In addition, in this embodiment, due to the arrangement of the protruding portion 902, a gap is formed between the head 901 and the blocked dial 2, so that the contact wear between the head 901 of the roller 9 and the blocked dial can be reduced while the axial limit is performed on the head 901. In this embodiment, a circle of undercut is formed at the contact position between the press-in end 903 and the protrusion 902, so that the bottom surface of the protrusion 902 can be well attached to the mounting plate 1 after the roller 9 is mounted.

For the rotational installation of the dial plate 2, as an exemplary structure, in the present embodiment, a convex installation ring 102 is formed on one side of the installation plate 1 for receiving the dial plate 2, the installation hole 101 penetrates through the installation ring 102, and the dial plate 2 is sleeved outside the installation ring 102. In the present embodiment, the mounting plate 1 on the outer side of the mounting ring 102 is further provided with an outer protrusion 103 disposed around the mounting ring 102, and the dial plate 2 fitted around the mounting ring 102 is axially supported by the outer protrusion 103, so that a gap is formed between the end surfaces of the dial plate 2 and the mounting plate 1, and contact wear between the two is reduced.

In this embodiment, the VGT assembly is installed in the supercharger as shown in fig. 16 and 17, at this time, the mounting disc 1 is fixed on the housing, the rear cover 10 is sleeved on the housing and can axially slide, and as a preferred embodiment, one end of the distance sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the mounting disc 1 by interference press-fitting or welding, and the other end of the distance sleeve 6 abuts against one side of the rear cover 10, so as to realize the support between the mounting disc 1 and the rear cover 1.

In the present embodiment, relative to the distance sleeve 6, an elastic portion is further provided on the other side of the back cover 10, and the elastic portion elastically abuts between the back cover 10 and the housing, and is also arranged in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the back cover 10. In this case, as an exemplary structure of the elastic portion, specifically, the elastic portion is an elastic pad 12 fitted to the housing, and the elastic pad 12 is abutted against the rear cover 10 and the housing by an abutting surface a and an abutting surface b located on two opposite sides of the elastic portion.

Meanwhile, as an exemplary structure of the supercharger housing, the housing of the present embodiment also includes a volute 11, and an intermediate housing 17 fixedly connected to the volute 11. The turbine 13 in the supercharger is rotatably installed relative to the scroll 11 and the middle housing 17, the rear cover 10 and the elastic pad 12 are specifically sleeved on the scroll 11, the rear cover 10 can axially slide relative to the scroll 11, meanwhile, the inner side of the mounting disc 1 is sleeved on the middle housing 17, and the outer side of the mounting disc 1 is directly clamped between the scroll 11 and the middle housing 17, so that the fixing of the mounting disc 1 in the supercharger housing is realized, and the assembly stability of the VGT assembly is guaranteed.

In this embodiment, middle casing 17 and 11 accessible bolts 16 of volute link firmly together to when volute 11 is connected with middle casing 17, the both ends that middle casing 17 and volute 11 are connected can set up to be set up to locate together to this can be fine centering volute 11 and middle casing 17, guarantee the assembly precision of booster, and prevent that turbine 13 and casing from taking place to rub.

For the above elastic cushion 12, it is generally sufficient to use elastic heat-resistant steel, and the abutting surfaces a and b on both sides of the elastic cushion 12 are also preferably both annular arranged along the circumference of the elastic cushion 12, that is, the whole plane part on each side of the elastic cushion 12 is the abutting surface. Meanwhile, the abutting surface a abutting against the rear cover 10 in the present embodiment is also disposed in a circumference formed corresponding to the connecting line between the distance sleeves 6, that is, the portions of the two sides of the rear cover 10 respectively contacting with the abutting surface a and the distance sleeves 6 are within the same radial dimension range, so that the rear cover 10 can maintain the stress balance under the clamping of the distance sleeves 6 and the elastic pads 12 at the two sides, and avoid the occurrence of serious deformation.

By using the distance sleeve 6 and the elastic pad 12 on both sides of the rear cover 10, when the exhaust gas entering the supercharger contains large particles, if the extrusion force formed by the large particles received by the rear cover 10 exceeds the elastic force of the elastic pad 12, the rear cover 10 will compress the elastic pad 12 and separate from the end surface of the distance sleeve 6, thereby increasing the distance between the vane 8 and the rear cover 10 and the distance between the mounting plate 1 and the rear cover 10, and discharging the particulate under the action of the air flow, so as to reduce the probability of the vane 8 being stuck.

In the embodiment, the elastic pad 12 is respectively abutted to the scroll 11 and the rear cover 10 through the annular abutting surfaces on the two sides of the elastic pad 12, and a certain sealing effect can be generated between the two end surfaces of the rear cover 10, which are opposite to the scroll 11, by utilizing the arrangement of the elastic pad 12, so that the exhaust gas is prevented from entering the turbine 13 through the gap between the rear cover 10 and the scroll 11.

Of course, instead of using the annular elastic pad 12, the elastic portion of the present embodiment may also use a plurality of elastic members located between the back cover 10 and the scroll 11, and the elastic members may use springs, for example, and the springs are equally distributed along the circumferential direction of the back cover 10, so that the elastic portion formed by the plurality of springs together is arranged in an annular shape as a whole.

Besides, besides being composed of a plurality of elastic members, it is further of course possible that the above-mentioned elastic portion is composed of only one spring which is also fitted over the scroll 11, and in spite of one spring or a plurality of springs, it should be noted that the abutting portion of the spring with the back cover 10 is provided corresponding to the other side distance sleeve 6 to ensure the force balance of both sides of the back cover 10. In contrast to the elastic pad 12, when the spring structure such as the above example is adopted, the aforementioned sealing effect between the rear cover 10 and the scroll 11 is obviously lost, and thus the elastic pad 12 is preferably adopted in the specific implementation.

In this embodiment, in addition to the seal formed by the elastic cushion 12, a seal ring 19 is provided between the end surfaces of the scroll 11 and the back cover 10 facing each other in the radial direction in order to further improve the sealing performance between the back cover 10 and the scroll 11. At this time, specifically, an annular mounting groove is provided at a position of the scroll 11 for sleeving the rear cover 10, the sealing rings 19 are embedded in the mounting groove, and preferably, the two sealing rings 19 may be arranged side by side to ensure a sealing effect.

In addition, the arrangement of the seal ring 19 also allows the rear cover 10 to move axially relative to the scroll 11 smoothly without causing the housing, i.e., the scroll 11 and the rear cover 10, to be separated from each other in a radial direction. Furthermore, by the radial support of the sealing ring 19 on the back cover 10, the deformation of the outlet position of the scroll 11 caused by the radial shake of the back cover 10 can be avoided.

In this embodiment, a heat shield 14 is further provided on one side of the intermediate housing 17 to reduce the heat transfer from the exhaust gas to the other side, and the heat shield 14 is specifically fixed between the intermediate housing 17 and the mounting plate 1. In addition, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the entire supercharger housing, the sealing ring 18 is also interposed between the scroll 11 and the intermediate housing 17 in the present embodiment, and the existing V-shaped sealing ring may be used for the sealing ring 18, and of course, other existing sealing structures may be used instead of the V-shaped sealing ring.

In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the VGT assembly in the housing, in this embodiment, a positioning pin 15 is also arranged between the mounting disk 1 and the middle housing 17, and two ends of the positioning pin 15 are respectively inserted into the mounting disk 1 and the middle housing 17, so as to connect the mounting disk 1 and the middle housing 17 together, and can play a role in limiting in the assembling process. In this case, the hole in the mounting plate 1 for the insertion of the positioning pin 15 can be designed as a blind hole or a stepped through hole, and when a stepped through hole is used, it should be noted that the inner diameter of the small diameter section in the through hole needs to be smaller than the outer diameter of the positioning pin 15.

Of course, instead of using the positioning pin 15, an associated external limiting structure may be used in the present embodiment to perform the same limiting function, and thus eliminate the positioning pin 15.

The VGT subassembly of this embodiment can be based on the rotational speed operating mode of engine through the turned angle of synchronous adjustment each blade 8 through the application in turbo charger for the nozzle ring sectional area that each blade 8 constitutes changes, and adjustable booster operating condition from this adjusts the air input of engine, and can make the air inlet of engine keep with the state that whole car engine operating mode matches, with the working property of improvement engine.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
