Abstract

The invention relates to a variable turbine geometry ( 28 ) of an exhaust gas turbocharger ( 2 ) of a motor vehicle, with a fixed guide blade ring ( 20 ) and an axially moveable control blade ring ( 15 ), wherein an axial relative position of guide blades ( 21 ) of the guide blade ring ( 20 ) to control blades ( 15 ) of the control blade ring ( 13 ) defines the size of inflow cross sections to a turbine wheel ( 11 ) of the exhaust gas turbocharger ( 2 ), and wherein the guide blades ( 21 ) and the control blades ( 15 ) extend in directions opposite to each other as far as to their respective free ends ( 18 ) and the control blades ( 15 ) are arranged on a cross carrier of the control blade ring ( 13 ), which as a function of the axial relative position opens, partially opens or closes additional inflow paths ( 29 ) for the enlargement or the reduction of the inflow cross sections. Furthermore, an exhaust gas turbocharger ( 2 ) with such a variable turbine geometry ( 28 ) as well as a method for the control of the inflow of an exhaust gas turbine with such a variable turbine geometry is proposed.

Claims (21)

1. A variable turbine geometry of an exhaust gas turbocharger of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a turbine wheel of the exhaust gas turbocharger including inflow cross sections;

a fixed guide blade ring including guide blades; and

an axially moveable control blade ring including control blades and a cross carrier,

wherein an axial relative position of guide blades of the guide blade ring in relation to the control blades of the control blade ring defines the size of inflow cross sections to the turbine wheel of the exhaust gas turbocharger, and

wherein the guide blades and the control blades extend in opposite directions to one another as far as to their respective free ends and the control blades are arranged on the cross carrier of the control blade ring, which performs at least one of opening, partially opening and closing as a function of the axial relative position, additional inflow paths for the enlargement or the reduction of the inflow cross sections.

2. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the control blades and the guide blades intermesh in a comb-like configuration as at least one of a greater degree and a lesser degree as a function of their axial relative position.

3. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the control blade ring comprises depressions in which the guide blades of the guide blade ring engage as at least one of a greater degree and a lesser degree as a function of their axial relative position.

4. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the turbine wheel comprises turbine blades each with a delivery edge, wherein the delivery edges are subjected to inflow independent of the relative position of the guide blades and the control blades relative to each other by a generally constant axial cross section.

5. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the cross carrier has a ring structure which is mounted axially displaceably in a ring channel of a housing of the exhaust gas turbocharger.

6. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the guide blade ring at least in sections is created in one piece with the turbine housing.

7. A method for the control of the inflow of an exhaust gas turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger of a motor vehicle, with a variable turbine geometry, comprising the steps of:

employing a fixed guide blade ring and an axially moveable control blade ring;

defining of a quantity of inflow cross sections to a turbine wheel of the exhaust gas turbocharger through the setting of an axial relative position of the guide blades of the guide blade ring and control blades of the control blade ring, wherein the control blade ring comprises depressions in which the guide blades of the guide blade ring engage as at least one of a greater degree and a lesser degree as a function of their axial relative position, and

opening additional inflow paths as a function of the axial relative position, wherein the additional inflow paths are at least one of partially opened to enlarge and closed to reduce the inflow cross sections.

8. An exhaust gas turbocharger including variable turbine geometry, comprising:

a turbine wheel of the exhaust gas turbocharger including inflow cross sections;

a fixed guide blade ring including guide blades; and

an axially moveable control blade ring including control blades and a cross carrier,

wherein an axial relative position of guide blades of the guide blade ring in relation to the control blades of the control blade ring defines the size of inflow cross sections to the turbine wheel of the exhaust gas turbocharger, and

wherein the guide blades and the control blades extend in opposite directions to one another as far as to their respective free ends and the control blades are arranged on the cross carrier of the control blade ring, which performs at least one of opening, partially opening and closing as a function of the axial relative position, additional inflow paths for the enlargement or the reduction of the inflow cross sections.
