Definitions

  • a turbocharger 2 uses exhaust gas energy, which would normally be wasted, to drive a turbine wheel 10 .
  • the turbine wheel 10 is mounted to a shaft 12 that in turn drives a compressor wheel 20 .
  • the turbine wheel 10 converts the heat and kinetic energy of the exhaust into rotational power that drives the compressor wheel 20 .
  • the objective of a turbocharger is to improve the engine's volumetric efficiency by increasing the density of the air entering the engine.
  • the compressor draws in ambient air and compresses it into the intake manifold and ultimately the cylinders. Thus, a greater mass of air enters the cylinders on each intake stroke.
  • turbocharger's low-load and transient response performance is generally less than optimal.
  • a turbocharger's compressor performance is dependent on the compressor speed. In order for the compressor to rotate fast enough to provide significant compression, or boost, to the engine, there must be a corresponding increase in exhaust gas flow. However, there is a time delay while the exhaust gases build up and the inertia of the turbine and compressor wheel assembly is overcome. This time delay between the engine's demand for boost and the actual increase in manifold pressure is often referred to as turbo lag.
  • Electrically-assisted turbochargers include an electric motor that is operative to supplement the rotational power derived from the exhaust during low-load and transient conditions.
  • the motor is connected to the same shaft that carries the turbine and compressor wheels.
  • the motor's rotor magnets are carried directly on the shaft, while the stator is contained within the turbocharger's bearing housing.
  • the typical turbocharger bearing housing 60 is cast as a single unitary piece using, for example, a sand cast process that employs various sand-based cores to produce features in the casting.
  • Certain features of the bearing housing, such as air gaps and oil passages 81 - 83 are difficult, if not impossible, to cast into a single piece housing because the sand-based cores have thin sections and are therefore too delicate to withstand the metal pouring process.
  • various cross passages 81 - 83 that cannot be cast into the single piece housing must be machined into the housing through the journal bearing bore ( 77 , 78 ).
  • the rotating assembly 14 that comprises shaft 12 , turbine wheel 10 , and compressor wheel 20 should be dynamically balanced in order to achieve the necessary rotational speed without self-destructing at high speeds, often in excess of 200,000 RPM.
  • the rotating assembly 14 should be balanced as an assembled unit, i.e., the compressor wheel 20 and various small parts assembled to the turbine wheel 10 and shaft 12 . If the compressor wheel 20 is removed and re-installed, for example, the rotating assembly 14 must be re-balanced, as the alignment of the compressor wheel 20 to the shaft 12 , the clamp load of the nut on the compressor wheel, etc., change the balance of the rotating assembly 14 .
  • the rotating assembly includes motor components.
  • the rotor is attached to the shaft.
  • the stator surrounds the motor and must be inserted into the bearing bore. It should be appreciated that the assembly of all of these components occurs out of view within the housing.
  • bearing housing that allows for flexibility in rotor assembly and bearing design.
  • the disclosed bearing housing, turbocharger incorporating the bearing housing, and methods of making and using the same help facilitate manufacturing, balancing, and testing the more complex rotor assemblies associated with electrically assisted turbochargers as well as unassisted turbocharger rotating assemblies.
  • the turbocharger comprises a rotating assembly including a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel disposed on opposite ends of a shaft.
  • a bearing housing supports the rotating assembly and comprises at least two segments. Each segment has an opening large enough to radially receive the rotating assembly.
  • the bearing housing segments are fastened together and a flexible seal may be provided between the segments.
  • the bearing housing may house rolling element bearings or journal bearings, for example.
  • the bearing housing is split axially into an upper segment and a lower segment.
  • the bearing housing is split axially into a left segment and a right segment.
  • the turbocharger may further comprise an electric motor stator disposed in the bearing housing.
  • the bearing housing may also include a defined passageway extending around the stator and configured to receive a liquid.
  • the turbocharger comprises a rotating assembly including a rotor mounted on a shaft and a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel disposed on opposite ends of the shaft.
  • a bearing housing supports the rotating assembly and comprises upper and lower segments. Each segment has an opening large enough to radially receive the rotating assembly.
  • a stator is disposed in the bearing housing and around the rotor.
  • a method for enclosing a rotating assembly of a turbocharger comprises providing at least two bearing housing segments which together form a bearing housing including a bearing bore and an insert bore; machining complementary mating faces of the segments; machining features as required for alignment and fastening of the segments to each other; machining the bearing bore and the insert bore; machining oil feed passages and oil drain features into at least one segment, wherein at least one oil feed bore is drilled from the radially inner surface of the corresponding bearing housing segment; balancing a rotating assembly; installing the rotating assembly into at least one of the bearing housing segments; and joining the segments together to enclose the rotating assembly.
  • the at least two bearing housing segments may be provided by separately casting each segment.
  • the at least two bearing housing segments are provided by casting a unitary bearing housing and subsequently cutting, or splitting, the unitary bearing housing into the at least two bearing housing segments.
  • the segments are assembled to each other before the step of machining the bearing bore and the insert bore.
  • Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the multi-segment bearing housing are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.

  • the bearing housing 160 is split into a pair of segments, axially, along the centerline axis 101 of the turbocharger 102 .
  • the upper segment 189 of the bearing housing houses all of the pressurized oil system elements.
  • the oil bore 181 for the turbine-end journal bearing oil feed can be drilled nearly perpendicular to the axis 101 , as can the oil bore 182 for the compressor-end journal bearing oil feed.
  • a connecting bore 180 is drilled from the compressor diffuser face 184 and then sealed with an expansion plug 185 .
  • This connecting bore is drilled such that it intersects the oil inlet 162 and is used as a conduit to fluidly connect the bearing feed oil bores ( 181 , 182 ) with the oil inlet 162 .
  • a short oil bore 183 is drilled from the thrust bearing face 185 to intersect the compressor-end journal bearing feed bore 182 to fluidly connect the thrust bearing (after assembly) to the oil inlet 162 .
  • Free access to the journal bearing provides more freedom for the placement of the drillings and thus the axial placement of the journal bearings.
  • the size of the thrust bearing and the position of the journal bearings are similar to that of a conventional turbocharger; however, the thrust bearing could be made smaller in diameter to take advantage of the freedom of the placement and axis of the thrust bearing oil drilling 183 provided by the two-piece bearing housing design.
  • a cavity 141 is provided in the upper and lower segments ( 189 , 190 ) of the bearing housing for the electric motor 140 .
  • the motor includes a rotor 147 attached to the shaft 112 and a stator 148 disposed in cavity 141 .
  • the segments comprise upper and lower halves; however, the halves could be left and right.
  • the segments may be divided in different portions. For example, the segments could be divided into 1 ⁇ 4 and 3 ⁇ 4 or 1 ⁇ 3 and 2 ⁇ 3 segments.
  • cavity 141 may be formed by an electrical discharge machining (EDM) process as is known in the art.
  • cavity 141 may be formed by a graphite slug EDM process.
  • Oil drain features are provided in the lower segment of the bearing housing.
  • An inner shell 199 is provided to temporarily retain oil around the outside of the electric motor 140 in a defined passageway, such as for example annulus 143 that extends around the stator 148 . The purpose of this shell is to keep oil in contact with the stator 148 for cooling.
  • the drain 145 for this cooling oil may be a bore in the shell 199 , which allows oil to flow from the annulus formed by the stator 148 of the electric motor 140 , and the bearing shell 199 (see FIG. 3 ) to the major bearing housing oil drain 187 , which is fluidly connected to the engine crankcase.
  • a plurality of oil weep holes 146 allow the egress of any oil which escapes the electric motor oil containment system or the shaft seal collars 186 .
  • a plurality of drain holes 188 near the intersection of the electric motor shell 199 and the lower journal bearing support are provided to allow escape of oil from the journal bearings 149 .
  • the upper and lower segments ( 189 , 190 ) of the bearing housing are mechanically fastened together during the assembly process.
  • the segments may be fastened together by any mechanical or chemical means such as retaining bolts, rivets, peening, welding, gluing.
  • a plurality of bolts 193 clamp the top segment 189 to the lower segment 190 .
  • These bolts can be fastened into tapped holes or can pass through clean bores and threaded into nuts.
  • the clamp load supplied by these retaining bolts compresses a seal gasket to provide oil and gas sealing between the inside of the bearing housing and the outside of the bearing housing.
  • the sealing gasket may be an impregnated graphite sealing medium, such as a grafoil flexible gasket, but it could also be an embossed flat shim type gasket.
  • the gasket is not specifically shown in the figures, but gaskets are generally understood in the art.
  • sealing compound may be applied to the sealing surfaces.
  • a groove 198 is provided in the bottom segment 190 for the raised part of the seal. As depicted in FIG. 5 , the groove 198 for the gasket is in the bottom segment 190 , but the groove 198 also could be in the top segment 189 (or both) with no difference in function.
  • the bearing housing upper and lower halves may be cast separately, and then the mating surfaces and functional surfaces are machined to the necessary tolerances and to form the necessary bores.
  • the process for machining the illustrated embodiment of the bearing housing comprises: machining the complementary centerline faces ( 196 , 197 ) of respectively the upper segment and lower segment of the bearing housing casting; machining the mounting and alignment holes; drilling the oil feed bores and oil drain features; EDM cavity 141 ; joining the segments together; and finish machining the diametrical features, such as for example, bearing bore, insert bore, vee-band flanges ( 155 , 157 ) (or bolt and clamp features if the bearing housing to end-housing joints are bolts and clamp plates).
  • the housing may be cast as one and subsequently cut, or split, into segments. In the case of a single housing subsequently split, the casing may be cut using a wire EDM process as known in the art.
  • the rotating assembly 114 can be assembled with full sight of all of the components outside of the bearing housing. Further, the rotating assembly can be balanced and tested in a fixture so that it requires no further balancing or testing after assembly into the bearing housing.
  • the fixture can be used for any turbocharger in the same family (i.e., using the same rotor assembly) rather than having to have specific balance tooling for each design of the bearing housing.
  • Using a fixture in which the pre-assembled rotor can be balanced without requiring dismantling and reassembly into a bearing housing followed by post-assembly balancing, opens up the opportunity to remove balance stock from the back of the wheels should balancing require that material removal.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a bearing housing according to a second exemplary embodiment.
  • Bearing housing 260 comprises upper 289 and lower 290 segments, as in the first embodiment.
  • the bearing design is similar to that of a typical turbocharger, but the thrust bearing oil feed bore 283 becomes the primary non-vertical oil feed bore, and it is intersected by journal bearing bores ( 281 , 282 ) and the extension of the oil inlet 262 .
  • journal bearing bores 281 , 282 removes the constraints caused by having to drill the journal bearing oil feeds from the ends of the conventional one piece bearing housing, so the oil can be fed closer to the shaft whereby the thrust bearing and insert can be much smaller (in diameter) than that of a typical single piece bearing housing.
  • both the turbine-end air gallery 264 and the compressor-end air gallery 230 are much larger than possible with a single piece bearing housing as the cores can be more robustly supported. This can produce a bearing housing with less mass of cast iron and with greater air gaps to minimize the conductive flow of heat from the turbine housing to the bearings and compressor stage.
  • the rotating assembly can be assembled with full sight of all of the components (which are no longer hidden within a unitary bearing housing), and the rotating assembly can be balanced in a fixture which can be used for any turbocharger in the same family rather than having to have specific balance tooling for each design of bearing housing. This also opens up the opportunity to remove balance stock from the back of the wheels should balancing require that material be removed.
  • a rolling element bearing 325 (REB) is used to support and control the rotating assembly 314 .
  • REB rolling element bearing 325
  • the air gallery cores ( 364 , 330 ) can be much larger and more robustly supported the oil feed drilled bores ( 381 , 382 ) can be more easily drilled with no horizontal connecting bore even required.
  • the axial and rotational constraint of the REB can be machined into the bearing housing segments rather than be additional parts.
  • the rotational constraint can be easily supplied as long as the REB cartridge outer shape has some anti-rotational feature, such as a geometric feature (for example a “flat” machined into the outer surface of the REB outer race) which fits to a complementary feature in the bearing housing.
  • the REB outer race has a flat machined into one of the axially facing ends.
  • the bearing housing has a recess with an abutment ( 331 or 332 ) in the end complementary to the anti-rotational feature on the REB outer race (see FIG. 9 ).
  • the axial constraint is managed in a similar manner.
  • the axial ends of the outer race or REB are axially constrained by abutments ( 331 , 332 ) in the upper and/or lower bearing housing cavities.
  • no additional components are required to provide the axial and rotational constraint.
  • a flinger 326 is provided to impede the flow of oil from the bearings to the compressor wheel.
  • a cavity for the flinger has an oil drain 327 in the lower segment to drain any oil flung off the oil flinger.
  • the method may comprise providing at least two bearing housing segments which together form a bearing housing including a bearing bore and an insert bore; machining complementary mating faces of the segments; machining features as required for alignment and fastening of the segments to each other; machining the bearing bore and the insert bore; machining oil feed passages and oil drain features into at least one segment, wherein at least one oil feed bore is drilled from the radially inner surface of the corresponding bearing housing segment; balancing a rotating assembly; installing the rotating assembly into at least one of the bearing housing segments; and joining the segments together to enclose the rotating assembly.
  • the method may comprise component balancing the compressor; component balancing the turbine; assembling the rotor, bearings, and collars to the turbine; balancing the rotor, bearings, collars, and turbine sub-assembly; installing the sub-assembly into at least one of the bearing housing segments; and joining the segments together to enclose the sub-assembly; assembling the compressor wheel to the shaft; and high-speed balancing the turbocharger.
