Definitions
- the invention relates to a guide vane adjustment device for a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. Leitschaufelverstell Anlagenen serve the loader characteristics to adapt to the exhaust gas volume flow.
- Such Adjustment device is known from EP 226444. There the adjustment ring is centered via rollers that stored in the guide vane carrier plate by means of thru axles are. This guide is complex to manufacture and in assembly.
- the invention is therefore concerned with the problem of a Adjustment ring of a guide vane adjustment device on simple Way to lead radially.
- the new guide vane adjustment device should also transported as a module and in a housing of an exhaust gas turbine can be installed.
- the formation of the lugs formed on the adjusting ring in the area the recesses for receiving the lever ends can advantageously take place in that when producing the recesses, for example by embossing, the displaced material forms the lugs on the adjustment ring, i.e. the recesses and the noses are made in one operation.
- the insertion according to claim 3 can also be carried out as a groove his.
- the dimensioning of the radial guide and the axial guide of the adjusting ring must be designed so that the adjusting ring has axial and radial play in all operating states, do not get stuck on the guide vane carrier plate can.
- An adjusting ring 1 has recesses 2 for receiving the Ends of guide vane levers 3.
- the guide vane levers 3 show holes 4 for receiving the ends of vane axes 5, which are connected to guide vanes 6.
- the Guide vane axes 5 are in a guide vane carrier plate 7, which is screwed to the housing part 8 (screws not shown), stored in bores 9.
- the adjusting ring 1 points in the axial direction to the housing protruding lugs 10 on the adjustment ring on a Guide the recess 11 of the guide vane carrier plate radially.
- the guide vane axes are 5 welded to the guide vane levers 3, soldered or riveted.
- the assembly with guide vane carrier plate, guide vanes, Lever and adjusting ring can therefore be advantageous as a module manufactured, transported and installed, the Individual parts after connecting vane axles and Guide vane levers captive with the guide vane support plate are connected.
