Definitions
- the invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger turbine with a number of adjustable guide vanes comprehensive in the flow channel, which is bounded on the one hand by an inner hub and the other by an outer vane support, wherein the vanes are rotatably mounted on the one hand in radial bearing bores of the annular vane support and on the other hand with seal their head profile against the guide vane, and with their foot profile against the hub, so the guide vanes are mounted on one side.
- Adjustable, in particular turbine nozzles are known to be used in turbine and turbocharger construction to better adapt the turbine during operation to the respective operating state.
- the boost pressure and thus the supply of air for a given load point can be changed within certain limits.
- the pressure increase can be limited so that set at full load, the purge air pressure and thus the ignition pressure and fuel consumption of the engine normally designed.
- the efficiency of the turbine with an adjustable turbine nozzle in particular during operation away from the design point, be raised or lowered.
- adjustable turbine nozzles have a plurality of rotatable about an axis arranged vanes, which are articulated via levers and collars.
- adjustable turbine nozzles for axially and radially traversed turbines. While the radially flowed adjustable turbine nozzle can be relatively simple (see, for example DE 42 18 229 C1 ), the axially flowed through is much more expensive to realize, since in particular the hub and Zuströmgepurtur spherical, ie at least curved must be designed. This is necessary to produce a uniform radial gap at all blade positions toward the hub and inflator housing contours.
- a generic axial flow machine, in particular axial flow turbine shows the DE 42 13 709 A1 .
- the adjustable turbine nozzle offers the possibility of reducing the flow cross-section in the turbine at partial load of the engine and thereby raising the air pressure in front of the cylinder.
- the known axially flowed adjustable turbine nozzle comprises within the annular flow passage defining walls on the one hand, the inner hub and on the other hand, the hub ring-shaped outer stator blade carrier, which is mounted in the inlet housing of the turbine.
- vanes do not jam during "hot” operation, they usually need to be installed with adequate clearance.
- the resulting slit flows at the top and bottom of the vanes can interfere with the main flow in the duct.
- the invention has the object of developing an exhaust gas turbocharger such that the components of the diffuser are both smoothly actuated, and allow only small gap flows.
- both above-mentioned requirements should be combined in a new axial flow machine.
- the hub is designed at least in the sealing region of theticianprofiles the vanes with a resilient hub contour and the one-sided storage of the vanes in the vane support in the direction of the vanes is also designed compliant, the flow losses through gaps between the Leitschaufel- and the Zuströmgepatuse- or hub contours be reduced and also to avoid distortion of the components of the adjustable nozzle, caused by sealing elements and thermal expansion of the components.
- the inner ring is provided for Monday with a slot, so that a thermal expansion is compensated here as well.
- the slot is arranged so that it lies between two guide vanes and is not swept by the blade contour during an adjustment process, so that the losses caused by the slot can be minimized.
- the inner ring is flanged to the hub so that it is movable in the radial direction of the Zuströmgeophuses, ie in the direction of the vane axis, in the axial direction of the Zuströmgepatuse but only with little play is inserted into the hub contour. By this measure again mass flow losses are avoided.
- the inner contour of the annular guide carrier, the hub, as well as the head and foot profiles of the vanes are designed to improve the sealing effect according to spherical.
- FIG. 1 a partial longitudinal section through an exhaust gas turbocharger.
- An axial flow-through, annular channel 20 of an axial turbine is limited on the one hand by an inner hub 21 and on the other by an annular guide vane carrier 7 together with Zuströmgephaseuse 8.
- the vane support 7 is mounted in a manner not described in detail in the Zuströmgephase 8.
- the adjustable guide vanes 30 each comprise a stator blade 1, a blade journal 2 and a blade turntable 3.
- the blade journal 2 is rotatably mounted in a radial bearing bore of the annular guide blade carrier 7 and fixed in a known manner, for example by means of a screwed crown nut or the like on the guide vane carrier 7.
- an articulated lever 5 is rotationally fixed by means of a key on the extended pin 2 of the guide vane 30.
- the articulated lever 5 is contacted with the blade journal 2 and the guide blade carrier 7 with the interposition of a plate spring 4, so that the articulation lever 5 is supported against the guide blade carrier 7.
- the plate spring 4 exerts on the blade journal 2 a Biasing force, by which the base profile 31, ie the lower contour of the vane blade 1 is pressed against the outer surface of the hub 21, so the base profile 31 of the vane 30 is at the stop with the hub 21 and thus seals against the contour of the hub 21.
- the blade journal 2 in the bearing bore of the guide blade carrier 7 almost free of play, but still clamped against thermal expansion in the direction of the axis A of the vane 30 elastic and vibration damping.
- the blade turntable 3 seals the channel 20 against the bearing bore of the guide blade carrier 7.
- the articulated lever 5 is movable in a known manner via a collar 6 by means not shown actuating means.
- the housing contour of the hub 21 is designed at least partially spherical with the inclusion of a hollow or inner space 22.
- an inner ring 9 is fitted in the Nabekontur, which is supported in the prestressed state against the base profile 31 of the vane 30 and is secured by a flange 12 to the hub 21 so that it in the direction of the axis
- the guide vane 30 is movable, it has only slight play in the contour of the hub 21, that is to say in the axial direction of the channel 20.
- the inner ring 9 itself is provided with a slot 10 which is arranged so that it lies between two guide vanes and is not swept by the blade contour during the adjustment process. In order to prevent mass flow losses through the slot 10, it is covered by the hollow or inner space 22 of the hub 21 seen with a sealing plate 11.
