Definitions

• the invention relates to an exhaust-gas turbocharger according to the preamble of claim 1.
• a coupling rod connects the actuator (for example an electric actuator or a pneumatic control capsule) to the assembly of an adjusting shaft of an adjustable turbine geometry (VTG), also referred to as a guide grate.
• the coupling rod transmits the movement generated by the actuator to the VTG.
• VTG adjustable turbine geometry
• the use of a coupling rod is also possible in the case of an exhaust-gas turbocharger having a wastegate which constitutes a turbine bypass.
• the coupling rod is mounted on a pin assigned to the actuator and on a pin assigned to the adjusting shaft, and is secured by means of a lock washer.
• the coupling rod is formed as an MIM component yields the advantage of increased heat resistantce in relation to plastic coupling rods.
• the MIM (metal injection molding) process is a powder injection molding process in which a metal powder provided with a binding agent is worked in an injection molding process. The binding agent is subsequently removed. In this way, it is possible to produce parts of complex shape with very low tolerances.
• MIM technology is thus a powder metallurgical process in which not a solid metal body but rather a fine powder is used as a starting material for the component to be produced.
• Said powder is mixed with a binding agent containing plastic, and kneaded to form a so-called feedstock.
• the feedstock is subsequently pressed into the injection mold (die) on a commercially customary injection molding machine at high pressure and at approximately 100°C.
• the so-called green part that is produced already has the final geometry of the component to be produced.
• Said green part must be removed from the binding agent again in subsequent processing steps in order to obtain a pure metal component.
• the binding agent is removed, and the component is simultaneously sintered by means of a sintering process at approximately 1200°C.
• Claims 5 to 8 define a coupling rod as an object which can be marketed independently.
• figure 1 is a perspective illustration of an exhaust-gas turbocharger according to the invention
• FIGS. 2 and 3 are side-on illustrations of two different embodiments of the coupling rod according to the invention.
• figure 4 is a plan view of the coupling rod according to figure 3
• figure 5 shows a perspective illustration of a further embodiment of the coupling rod according to the invention.
• FIG. 1 shows a partial perspective view of a turbocharger according to the invention.
• the turbocharger 1 has a turbine housing 2 and a compressor housing 3 connected to said turbine housing via a bearing housing.
• the housings 2 and 3 are arranged along an axis of rotation.
• nozzle cross sections are formed which are larger or smaller depending on the position of the adjustment blades and via which the exhaust gas of an engine supplied via a supply duct and discharged via a central connector pipe impinges to a greater or lesser extent on the turbine wheel situated in the center on the axis of rotation, in order, via the turbine wheel, to drive a compressor wheel seated on the same shaft.
• an actuating device or an actuator 11 is provided, which may be designed for example as an electric actuator or as a pneumatic control capsule.
• the actuating device 11 has a control housing 12 and a coupling rod 14 in order to transmit the movement thereof to an adjusting ring situated behind the blade bearing ring, said movement being converted into a slight rotational movement of said adjusting ring.
• a free space for the adjustment blades is formed between the blade bearing ring and an annular part of the turbine housing 2.
• Figure 2 illustrates, as in figure 1, a cranked embodiment of the coupling rod 14 according to the invention which is formed according to the invention as an MIM component.
• the coupling rod 14 has end regions 4 and 5 which each adjoin a central part 12. This yields a single-piece design which is formed in its entirety as an MIM component.
• Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of a coupling rod 14' with end regions 6 and 7 and with a central part 13, which differs from that according to figure 2 in that said coupling rod 14' is of planar or straight design without a cranked formation.
• Figure 4 shows a plan view of said coupling rod 14', from which it is clear that the central part 13 is provided with a central recess 15 which is a through recess, that is to say constitutes a complete aperture, which is delimited by webs 16 and 17 of the central part 13.
• FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a coupling rod 14" designed as an
• the coupling rod being cranked and furthermore being provided, in its central part 18 which is in turn provided with end regions 8 and 9, with a framework structure 19.
• the framework structure 19 is formed by apertures and webs, wherein the aperture 10 and the web 20 are denoted as examples for all of the apertures and webs.
• Figure 5 shows merely an exemplary embodiment for such a framework structure 19, and is not restricted to the arrangement of the recess 10 and of the webs 20 illustrated therein.
• any desired framework structures 19 of said type may be provided in the coupling rod in accordance with the principles of the present invention, because the MIM process, as explained in the introduction, has the particular advantage that even very complex structures can be produced without problems.
• end regions of the embodiment according to figures 2 to 5 are provided in each case with eyelets which are provided for receiving fastening devices such as for example fastening bolts.
