- a thrust bearing is provided for the purpose of stopping the movement of the rotary shaft in the thrust direction.
- a thrust bearing a bearing having a simple structure such as a tapered land thrust bearing is often used.
- centrifugal force acts on the lubricating oil radially outward of the rotating shaft. Therefore, the outflow of the lubricating oil to the outer peripheral side increases.
- a thrust collar which is disposed to face the thrust bearing and applies a thrust force to the thrust bearing, is fixed to the rotational shaft of the turbocharger. Since it is usually difficult to manufacture the thrust collar parallel to the thrust bearing without error, the gap may be enlarged in the outer peripheral region of the facing surface of the thrust bearing and the thrust collar. When the rotational speed of the rotating shaft is high and a large centrifugal force is acting on the lubricating oil, if there is an enlarged gap on the outer peripheral side of the opposing surface, a large amount of lubricating oil flows out from this gap, and the load capacity of the thrust bearing May decrease extremely.

- the two thrust collars 106 and 108 rotate in the direction of the arrow a together with the rotary shaft 102, and the thrust bearing 112 is fixed to a bearing housing (not shown).
- the thrust force applied to the rotating shaft 102 is received by the thrust bearing 112 via the two thrust collars 106 and 108, thereby stopping the movement of the rotating shaft 102 in the thrust direction.
- the thrust bearing 112 is provided with an oil passage 112a for supplying lubricating oil r to the sliding contact surface with the two thrust collars 106 and 108.

- the centrifugal force b acts radially outward by the rotation of the rotating shaft 12.
- the rotating shaft of the turbocharger rotates at a high speed, for example, reaching 200,000 rpm, so that a large centrifugal force acts on the lubricating oil. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, even if the boundary between the inclined surface and the horizontal surface is inclined such that the radially outer region is opposite to the rotation direction, the thrust bearing It is difficult to sufficiently suppress the outflow of the lubricating oil.
- the present invention is a simple and inexpensive means to suppress the outflow of lubricating oil from the thrust bearing by the action of the centrifugal force by the rotation of the turbocharger, and maintain the load bearing ability of the thrust bearing high.

Therefore, the oil film pressure on the sliding contact surface can be kept high.

Also, when the oil film pressure forming structure is formed in two thrust collars, the upslope of the inclined surface is made to form an upslope toward the upstream side in the rotational direction.

Due to the step, the lubricating oil outflow resistance at the radially outer portion of the gap becomes larger than that at the radially inner portion. Therefore, the outflow of the lubricating oil flowing in the outer peripheral direction can be suppressed by the centrifugal force, and the oil film pressure between the sliding contact surfaces can be held high. In this configuration, only the thrust bearing needs to be provided with a step, so that simpler and less expensive processing can be achieved.

- the sliding contact surface between the thrust bearing 46 and the thrust collars 42 and 44 has a step facing the thrust bearing 46 along the axial direction of the rotary shaft 12 provided on the outer peripheral side portion of the sliding contact surface. Since the clearance c between the sliding contact surfaces is bent due to the presence, the lubricating oil outflow resistance of the clearance c3 of the step portion becomes larger than the clearance c1 of the root region. Therefore, the lubricating oil r can be suppressed from flowing out from the outer peripheral side outlet. Therefore, the oil film pressure of the lubricating oil r in the gap c can be increased, and the load bearing ability of the lubricating oil r can be improved.
- the portion of the thrust bearing 46 that protrudes outward in the radial direction from the thrust collars 42, 44 is formed thicker than the inner portion that is the facing surface facing the thrust collars 42, 44.

次に、本発明の第3実施形態を図6に基づいて説明する。本実施形態のスラスト軸受装置40Cでは、スラスト軸受46及びスラストカラー42、44は、第1実施形態又は第2実施形態のように傾斜面を有せず、回転軸12に対して直角方向に向けて配置されている。また、スラスト軸受46の外周面(径方向面)とスラストカラー42、44との径方向摺接面との間の隙間部位は、径方向外側部位で回転軸12の軸線方向に向かう段差を形成している。本実施形態では、隙間cの大きさは、根本域隙間c1=段差部隙間c3=外周端隙間c2となっている。即ち、スラスト軸受46は、内側部位が外側部位より板厚が大きく形成され、外周側途中位置で外周両面に段差72及び74を形成し、外周先側を挟幅に形成している。一方、スラストカラー42、44は、スラスト軸受46と対峙する対峙面の外側部位が内側部位より板厚が大きく形成され、段差72、74に対応する位置に段差76,78が形成されている。
次に、本発明の第4実施形態を図7に基づいて説明する。本実施形態のスラスト軸受装置40Dでは、スラスト軸受46のうち、スラストカラー42,44より径方向外側へ突出する部位がスラストカラー42,44と対峙する対峙面である内側部位より板厚に形成され、スラスト軸受46の両面で突出部位と内側部位との境界に段差80及び82が形成されている。段差80、82はスラストカラー42,44の外周端面42a、44aの一方の角部を覆うように配置されている。これによって、スラストカラー42、44の外周端で、隙間cはスラストカラー42、44の外周端面42a、44aに沿って直角に曲折されている。隙間cの大きさは、根本域(軸基側の周方向)隙間c1=外周端(段部)隙間c2である。
