2. Description of the Related Art In order to increase the output of an engine without changing the displacement, a turbocharger for compressing air sent to the engine by the energy of the exhaust is widely used. This turbocharger collects the energy of exhaust gas by a turbine provided in the middle of the exhaust passage, and rotates an impeller of a compressor provided in the middle of the air supply passage by a rotating shaft fixed to an end of the turbine. This impeller is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands
It rotates at a speed of n -1 (rpm) and compresses the air sent to the engine through the air supply passage.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show an example of such a turbocharger. The turbocharger rotates the turbine 3 fixed to one end (the right end in FIG. 2) of the rotating shaft 2 by exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage 1. This rotating shaft 2
Is transmitted to the impeller 4 fixed to the other end (the left end in FIG. 2) of the rotating shaft 2, and the impeller 4 rotates in the air supply flow path 5. As a result, the air sucked from the upstream end opening of the air supply passage 5 is compressed and sent into the cylinder chamber of the engine together with fuel such as gasoline or light oil. The rotation axis 2 of such a turbocharger is tens of thousands to several hundred thousand minutes.
It rotates at a speed as high as -1 (rpm), and its rotation speed changes frequently depending on the operating condition of the engine. Therefore, it is necessary to support the rotating shaft 2 with a small rotation resistance to the bearing housing 6 and to sufficiently consider the lubrication of the rotation supporting portion.

For this reason, conventionally, the bearing housing 6
The above-mentioned rotary shaft 2 is rotatably supported by first and second ball bearings 7 and 8 on the inside. Each of these first and second ball bearings 7 and 8 is an angular type ball bearing as shown in FIG. The configuration of these first and second ball bearings 7, 8 is as follows.
Basically the same. However, of these two ball bearings 7, 8, the lubrication condition of the first ball bearing 7, which is close to the exhaust passage 1 through which high-temperature exhaust flows and whose temperature rises remarkably, is determined by the air supply passage 5 through which low-temperature air flows. And the temperature rise is not so remarkable, it becomes more severe than the second ball bearing 8. Therefore, the first ball bearing 7 is sufficiently lubricated to prevent the first ball bearing 7 from being damaged such as seizure. The present invention aims to improve the lubrication performance of the first ball bearing 7 as described above. Therefore, the following description will focus on the first ball bearing 7.

In the case of the conventional turbocharger rotary support device as described above, the lubricating oil ejected from the nozzle hole 20 cannot always be used effectively for lubrication of the first ball bearing 7. . That is, in the case of the conventional structure described above, a large part of the lubricating oil that has been jetted from the nozzle hole 20 toward the outer peripheral surface of the end of the inner ring 12 constituting the first ball bearing 7 rotates at a high speed. The first ball bearing 7 is scattered around without being lubricated to the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 12 without lubricating the first ball bearing 7.

As a result, the rolling surfaces of the balls 13, 13 and the inner surfaces of the outer raceway 9, the inner raceway 11, and the pockets 15
There is a possibility that the lubricating oil existing in the rolling contact portion or the sliding contact portion is insufficient. If it is insufficient, wear of each part such as the inner surface of each pocket 15 becomes remarkable, and not only does the durability of the rotary support device for a turbocharger deteriorate, but in extreme cases, damage such as seizure occurs. I do. In particular, it is difficult to ensure the lubrication of the sliding contact portion between the inner peripheral surface of the outer race 10 and the outer peripheral surface of the retainer 14, which relatively rotate at a high speed in a state of being opposed to each other. For this reason, there is a possibility that the cage 14 may be damaged such as abnormal wear and seizure. The turbocharger rotation supporting device of the present invention has been invented in order to eliminate such inconvenience.

A rotating shaft having a turbine fixed at one end and an impeller fixed at the other end is rotatably supported inside a bearing housing. Between the outer raceway formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer race and the inner raceway formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner race, a plurality of balls held by an annular retainer are arranged so as to roll freely. For a turbocharger in which the outer peripheral surface of the cage and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring are closely opposed to each other, and the outer ring is used to position the cage in the radial direction. In the rotating support device,
A turbocharger, wherein a lubrication hole is formed in a part of the outer ring that does not come into rolling contact with the rolling surface of each ball, and lubricating oil is freely discharged from the lubrication hole toward the outer peripheral surface of the cage. Rotary support device for charger.
