Turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger with a variable turbine geometry
View Patent ↗A turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger with a variable turbine geometry is provided, having a support ring to which vanes are fastened which are adjustable for controlling the charge pressure, and having a covering ring for the vanes. The support ring and covering ring are spaced for forming a vane gap by spacing elements which are each penetrated by a holding element which is fastened in the support ring and/or the covering ring. The spacing elements have recesses which, during the operation of the exhaust gas turbocharger, permit a direct action of the exhaust gas flow upon the holding elements.
1. A turbine housing of a variable turbine geometry exhaust gas turbocharger with an adjustable turbine geometry, comprising:
a support ring to which charge pressure-adjusting vanes are fastened;
a covering ring;
spacing elements; and
fastening elements,
wherein
the support ring and the covering ring are spaced apart by the spacing elements,
the spacing elements are each penetrated by one of the fastening elements,
the fastening elements are fastened to at least one of the support ring and the covering ring, and
the spacing elements have recesses which, during the operation of the exhaust gas turbocharger, permit a direct application of an exhaust gas flow upon the fastening elements.
2. The turbine housing according to claim 1 , wherein the recesses are introduced through an outer surface of the spacing elements.
3. The turbine housing according to claim 2 , wherein the recesses are constructed as bores.
4. The turbine housing according to claim 3 , wherein the bores are arranged radially through the spacing elements relative to a longitudinal axis of the at least one fastening element therein.
5. The turbine housing according to claim 4 , wherein recesses are provided in the support ring and the covering ring, and the recesses are formed such that face ends of each spacing element engage within opposing recesses when the spacing elements are fastened between the sporting ring and the covering ring.
6. The turbine housing according to claim 3 , wherein recesses are provided in the support ring and the covering ring, and the recesses are formed such that face ends of each spacing element engage within opposing recesses when the spacing elements are fastened between the sporting ring and the covering ring.
7. The turbine housing according to claim 2 , wherein the recesses are constructed in the spacing elements as slots arranged radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the at least one fastening element therein.
8. The turbine housing according to claim 2 , wherein recesses are provided in the support ring and the covering ring, and the recesses are formed such that face ends of each spacing element engage within opposing recesses when the spacing elements are fastened between the sporting ring and the covering ring.
9. The turbine housing according to claim 1 , wherein recesses are provided in the support ring and the covering ring, and the recesses are formed such that face ends of each spacing element engage within opposing recesses when the spacing elements are fastened between the sporting ring and the covering ring.
10. The turbine housing according to claim 1 , wherein a diameter of a passage opening of each spacing element which is penetrated by one of the fastening element is greater than an outside diameter of said fastening element.
