Turbine wheel
The hub/blade junction of each rotor blade is placed with respect to the scalloping surface (F 1 +F 2 ) such that this surface is supported as symmetrically as possible by the rotor blade. The turbine wheel with three-dimensionally curved rotor blades has scalloping in the area of the hub rear wall, and in consequence is subject to reduced stresses caused by scalloping deformation.
1. A turbine wheel of a radial or mixed-flow turbine having a hub and rotor blades with
each rotor blade being connected in each case along a curved hub/blade junction to the hub and with the rotor blades being designed and arranged on the hub such that the hub/blade junction runs curved towards the pressure side of the rotor blades, deviating from the radial direction,
with the hub having a scalloping contour between, in each case, two adjacent rotor blades in the area of a hub rear wall,
with a hub surface (F 1 +F 2 ) in the area of each rotor blade being bounded by the scalloping contour between the radially innermost points (A, B) of the scalloping contour on the suction side and pressure side of the rotor blades and by a straight line passing through these two points, and
with a radial line which bisects the hub surface (F 1 +F 2 ) intersecting the scalloping contour at an intersection point (C),
wherein the terminal ends of the hub/blade junction of each rotor blade is in each case arranged offset towards the pressure side of the rotor blade with respect to the intersection point (C), and
wherein the hub/blade junction of each rotor blade equally divides into two halves the hub surface (F 1 +F 2 ) which is bounded by the scalloping contour between the radially innermost points (A, B) of the scalloping contour on the suction side and on the pressure side of the rotor blades, and by a straight line passing through these two points.
2. The turbine wheel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scalloping contour is symmetrical with respect to the radial lines, and in that the intersection point (C) of the radial lines with the scalloping contour is located at the radially highest point on the scalloping contour.
3. A mixed-flow turbine, comprising a turbine wheel as claimed in claim 1 .
4. A radial turbine, comprising a turbine wheel as claimed in claim 1 .
5. An exhaust-gas turbocharger, comprising a radial or mixed-flow turbine having a turbine wheel as claimed in claim 1 .
