Flange connection
A flange connection is provided for a turbocharger and an exhaust system. The flange connection includes, but is not limited to a clamping bracket that engages over flanges provided on the turbocharger and on the exhaust system and clamps them with one another using at least one screw, which, using a screw thread provided in the clamping bracket, exerts pressure on a pressure part, which in turn exerts pressure on the edges of flanges.
1. A flange connection of a turbocharger and an exhaust system, comprising:
a clamping bracket configured to engage over flanges of the turbocharger and on the exhaust system,
a screw configured to cooperate with the clamping bracket to brace the turbocharger the exhaust system; and
a screw thread provided in the clamping bracket configured to exert pressure on a pressure part that in turn exerts pressure on an edge of the flanges,
wherein the pressure part has a V-shaped contact surface with an internal contour that presses against a V-shaped external contour of the edge of the flanges.
2. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the screw is located approximately centrally in the clamping bracket and oriented approximately perpendicularly to a connection area of the flanges.
3. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the flange connection is located between the turbocharger and a catalytic converter or a diesel particulate filter.
4. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the flange connection is located between the turbocharger and a diesel particulate filter.
5. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping bracket comprises a contour and the flanges comprise a mirror-symmetrical counter contour.
6. The flange connection according to claim 5 , wherein the clamping bracket comprises an essentially round contour with two flat spots, and the mirror-symmetrical counter contour comprise corresponding flat spots.
7. The flange connection according to claim 6 , wherein the screw bracing on the clamping bracket is situated approximately opposite to the corresponding flat spots.
8. The flange connection according to claim 6 , further comprising two additional flat spots.
9. The flange connection according to claim 6 , wherein the corresponding flat spots are situated on a circumference of the clamping bracket and the flanges at an angle of approximately 90° to one another.
10. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping bracket is constructed from two half-shells that are joined around a circumference.
11. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping bracket is constructed from two half-round half-shells that each encompass approximately half of a circumference of the flange connection and connected to one another via at least one web.
12. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the flanges comprises internal contours that are configured for one another and center the flanges to one another.
13. The flange connection according to claim 1 , wherein the screw thread is a threaded bush.
