- In the following, the above and other aspects of the invention are described in more detail and illustrated by examples with reference to one embodiment shown in the attached Figures.
- In the Figures:
-
FIG. 1 shows a first cross-sectional view along the axis of an embodiment a turbocharger according to the invention; -
FIG. 2 shows a second cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the turbocharger according to the invention; -
FIG. 3 shows a third cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the turbocharger according to the invention; -
FIG. 4 shows a fourth cross-sectional view of the embodiment of the turbocharger according to the invention; and -
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 show extract cross-sectional views of the turbocharger according to the invention for particularly illustrating the mounting of the exhaust housing to the center housing. - A turbocharger according to the embodiment shown in
FIG. 1 comprises acenter housing 1 carrying ashaft 3 with aturbine wheel 5 attached at the one end thereof. The shaft is supported on a bearing system within thecenter housing 1 which although particularly illustrated inFIG. 1 is not described in detail. On the left side inFIG. 1 only abackplate 7 and acompressor impeller 9 of the turbocharger are illustrated, whereas on the right side of thecenter housing 1 inFIG. 1 the variable nozzle device is shown in more detail. - The variable nozzle device includes a basically ring-
shaped insert 11 as an integral member comprising aperipheral ring 13 and anouter ring 15 connected with the peripheral ring by means ofleg portions 17. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theperipheral ring 13 of the ring shapedinsert 11 is fitted on astep portion 19 of thecenter housing 1 and mounted thereto by means of bolts 21 (shown inFIG. 1 ) arranged in a circumferentially spaced manner and secured in corresponding holes of thecenter housing 1. Into the peripheral ring 13 anozzle ring 23 is fitted for carrying a plurality ofvane pins 25 arranged on the nozzle ring circumferentially around theturbine 5 and fixedly mounted to vanes 27 (as shown inFIG. 1 ). - In this embodiment of the turbocharger the
leg portions 17 fulfill the function of spacers defining a nozzle space between thenozzle ring 23 forming an inner wall of the nozzle and theouter ring 15 of the ring shaped insert which forms an outer wall of the nozzle. The other end of eachvane pin 25 is attached to avane arm 29 preferably by welding. Thevane arms 29 are received in slots formed in the inner periphery of anunison ring 31 which is rotatably arranged in order to pivot thevane arms 29, the vane pins and finally thevanes 27 attached thereto. - In order to be rotatable the
unison ring 31 is supported with its inner periphery on circumferentially spacedrollers 33 best shown inFIG. 3 . The rollers are rotatably mounted ondowels 35 being rotatably supported in corresponding holes formed in thenozzle ring 23. The length of thedowels 35 is such that although they can perform slight axial movement toward thecenter housing 1 the maximum distance between the corresponding end of the dowel and the center housing is such that therollers 33 cannot become disengaged and remain locked between the center housing and the nozzle ring. - As can be particularly seen in
FIG. 4 anactuating arm 37 engaging with one of the slots in the inner periphery of theunison ring 31 is connected via anactuating rod 39 to anactuator crank 41. - The ring shaped
insert 11 together with theunison ring 23 fitted therein and carrying all movable elements of the vane actuating mechanism form the variable nozzle device which thus represents a kind of a cartridge attached to thecenter housing 1 by means of thebolts 21. With regard to this construction it is to be noted that when attaching theperipheral ring 13 of the ring shaped insert to the center housing, thenozzle ring 23 is axially clamped by aleg step portion 43 against anannular disc member 45 axially supported on thecenter housing 1. Thus, only by means of thebolts 21 the complete variable nozzle device is coupled to the center housing, wherein the center housing and the ring shaped insert form a kind of a stable shell protecting the movable elements of the variable nozzle device. - A turbine housing or
exhaust housing 47 is mounted to thecenter housing 1 by means of v-bands or anequivalent fastening member 49 as shown in each ofFIGS. 1 to 6 . The fasteningmember 49 presses aflange member 51 of theinlet portion 53 of the exhaust housing against another flange portion of the center housing as can be best seen inFIG. 6 . There is provided agasket 55 between these two flange portions, said gasket serving as sealing device in order to provide gas tightness and does efficiently avoid any leakage of exhaust gas from the exhaust housing. In this embodiment theinlet portion 53 forms the volute of the exhaust housing and delivers exhaust gas to thenozzle 28 as particularly illustrated byFIG. 2 . - Although in this particular embodiment of the turbocharger according to the invention the turbine housing is only axially in contact with the
center housing 1 through thesealing device 55, thefastening member 49 is such that it also provides a reliable positioning of the exhaust housing also in radial direction. Thus, the exhaust housing does not need any additional fixation means. - The mounting location of the
flange member 51 of the exhaust housing and theperipheral ring 13 of the ring shaped insert is such that an axially extendingclearance 57 is established therebetween as best seen inFIG. 6 . Another radially extendingportion 59 of the exhaust housing is axially spaced from the peripheral ring in order to provide another radially extendingclearance 61 by means of which any contact between the exhaust housing and the ring shapedinsert 11 of the variable nozzle device is avoided. - An outer
gas outlet portion 63 of theexhaust housing 47 is formed as a sleeve encompassing an innergas outlet portion 65 of the variable nozzle device, saidportion 65 being formed as an axial tubular extension of the insert'souter ring 15. Between these two portions there is an axially extending clearance of preferably 0.05-0.15 mm, which is small enough to avoid gas leakage and in the same time big enough to provide appropriate mechanical decoupling between the exhaust housing and the ring shapedinsert 11. As an additional sealing system to prevent gas leakage, there are provided sealing elements including apiston ring 67 interposed in a recess formed in the innergas outlet portion 65, as well as tworecesses 69 formed in the outer gas outlet portion of the exhaust housing and serving as means for damping the turbulence of gas leaking from the exhaust housing. - The
FIGS. 1 to 6 illustrating an embodiment of the present invention reveal also further details of the turbocharger construction. For exampleFIG. 5 shows alocking dowel 24 which prevents thenozzle ring 23 from rotation in relation to thecenter housing 1. Further,FIG. 3 shows an additionalelastic sealing member 60 closing theclearance 61 without impairing the mechanical and thermal decoupling between the insert and the exhaust housing. - As explained above, one aspect of the present invention is to mechanically and/or thermally decouple the exhaust housing from the variable nozzle device, since the exhaust housing is subject to high mechanical and/or thermal loads. Further, the compact hut-like insert accommodating the nozzle ring and thus forming a cartridge including all nozzle components helps to prevent nozzle component deformation and consequently prevents sticking or binding of the vanes.
- Since the exhaust housing is in direct contact with the center housing through a sealing element, thus forming an inner space in which the complete variable nozzle device is located, an efficient leakage proofness of the turbocharger is achieved.
- For further improvements of the turbocharger according to the invention additional optional advantageous features can be provided, including various axial and radial clearances and various sealing elements.
- Although in the embodiment shown in the Figures, the exhaust housing encloses completely the cartridge of the variable nozzle device and the peripheral ring thereof is axially aligned with the flange member of the exhaust housing so that both the peripheral ring and the flange member can be abutted against one and the same radially extending sealing
member 55 supported on a flange portion of the center housing, other modifications or configurations of the mounting arrangement for the variable nozzle device cartridge and the exhaust housing to the center housing are possible. For example, with the lockingdowel 24,bolts 21 may be eliminated and the complete variable nozzle device coupled to the center housing by use of indirect contact provided by fasteningmember 49. - Another possibility for coupling the variable nozzle device to the center housing is the use of interference fit. For this purpose the periphery of the center housing can be provided with an inner recess in which the
peripheral ring 13 engages. - Similarly, although the embodiment shown in the Figures depicts the variable nozzle device as including a
nozzle ring 23 fitted for carrying, a plurality of vane pins 25 arranged on the nozzle ring circumferentially around theturbine 5 and fixedly mounted to pivotingvanes 27, other modifications or configurations of the variable nozzle device are possible. For example, the vanes could be of the known the of vane that control the exhaust gas flow by sliding radially and/or axially rather than, or in addition to, using a pivoting motion. - Due to the use of a separate variable nozzle device cartridge the manufacturing of the exhaust housing can be simplified. The exhaust housing can be for example produced of a sheet metal or by a simplified casting method, for example by thin casting technology using lower grades of exhaust housing material.
