Abstract

A charger device may include a variable turbine geometry having guide vanes mounted rotatably in a van bearing ring. Each guide vane may have a top side that runs in convex fashion from a profile nose to a profile end. A concave recess may be arranged on a bottom side of each guide vane at the profile nose.

Claims (27)

1. A charger device comprising:

a variable turbine geometry having guide vanes mounted rotatably in a vane bearing ring, each guide vane having a top side that runs continuously in convex fashion from a profile nose to a profile end,

wherein a concave recess is arranged on a bottom side of each guide vane, and

wherein for each guide vane, a radius of curvature of the recess is between ¼ and ⅛ of a length of the guide vane.

2. A charger device according to claim 1 , wherein, for each guide vane, the bottom side runs in concave fashion from the concave recess to the profile end, and a radius of curvature of the bottom side is greater than a radius of curvature of the recess.

3. A charger device according to claim 1 , wherein, for each guide vane, the radius of curvature of the recess is between ⅕ and 1/7 of a length of the guide vane.

4. A charger device according to claim 1 , wherein, for each guide vane, the profile end is rounded with a radius of curvature that is between 1/15 and 1/25 of the radius of curvature of the recess.

5. A charger device according to claim 1 , wherein an axis of rotation of each guide vane lies on a profile centreline, wherein a spacing of the axis of rotation to the profile nose is smaller than a spacing to the profile end.

6. A guide vane of a charger device, comprising:

a top side and a bottom side, the top side running in convex fashion from a profile nose to a profile end, a centerline from the profile nose to the profile end being continuous, and

a concave recess arranged on the bottom side at the profile nose,

wherein a radius of curvature of the recess is between ¼ and ⅛ of a length of the guide vane.

7. A guide vane according to claim 6 , wherein the bottom side runs in concave fashion from the concave recess to the profile end, and a radius of curvature of the bottom side is greater than a radius of curvature of the recess.

8. A guide vane according to claim 6 , wherein the radius of curvature of the recess is between ⅕ and 1/7 of a length of the guide vane.

9. A guide vane according to claim 6 , wherein the profile end is rounded with a radius of curvature that is between 1/15 and 1/25 of a radius of curvature of the recess.

10. A guide vane according to claim 6 , wherein an axis of rotation of the guide vane lies on a profile centreline, a spacing of the axis of rotation to the profile nose being smaller than a spacing to the profile end.

11. A charger device according to claim 2 , wherein an axis of rotation of each guide vane lies on a profile centreline, wherein a spacing of the axis of rotation to the profile nose is smaller than a spacing to the profile end.

12. A charger device according to claim 5 , wherein, for each guide vane, the profile end is rounded with a radius of curvature that is between 1/15 and 1/25 of the radius of curvature of the recess.

13. A charger device according to claim 3 , wherein, for each guide vane, the profile end is rounded with a radius of curvature that is between 1/15 and 1/25 of the radius of curvature of the recess.

14. A charger device comprising:

a variable turbine geometry having guide vanes mounted rotatably in a vane bearing ring, each guide vane having:

a top side and a bottom side, the top side running continuously in convex fashion from a profile nose to a profile end, and

a concave recess is arranged on a bottom side of the guide vane at the profile nose,

wherein the bottom side runs in concave fashion from the concave recess to the profile end, and a radius of curvature of the bottom side is greater than a radius of curvature of the recess,

wherein the profile end is rounded with a radius of curvature smaller than the radius of curvature of the recess, and

wherein a radius of curvature of the recess is between ¼ and ⅛ of a length of the guide vane.

15. A charger device according to claim 1 , wherein, for each guide vane, the recess is spaced apart from the profile nose.
