Abstract

A variable turbine geometry may include guide blades mounted rotatably in a blade carrier via one blade bearing pin for each guide blade, a blade lever arranged at an end of the blade bearing pin that faces away from the respective guide blade, and an articulated lever for a simultaneous adjustment of the guide blades via an adjusting ring arranged between two adjacent blade levers. The articulated lever may be provided with a stop contour, and when one of a maximum flow position or a minimum flow position is reached, the stop contour may lie against one of the two adjacent blade levers to define the one of the maximum flow position or the minimum flow position.

Claims (25)

1. A variable turbine geometry comprising:

guide blades mounted rotatably in a blade carrier via one blade bearing pin for each guide blade;

a blade lever arranged at an end of the blade bearing pin that faces away from the respective guide blade; and

an articulated lever for a simultaneous adjustment of the guide blades via an adjusting ring arranged between two adjacent blade levers;

wherein the articulated lever is provided with a stop contour, and when one of a maximum flow position or a minimum flow position is reached, the stop contour lies against one of the two adjacent blade levers to define the one of the maximum flow position or the minimum flow position;

wherein the stop contour projects in a direction oblique to an axis of the articulated lever such that the articulated lever is asymmetrical with respect to the axis; and

wherein the articulated lever is rotatably mounted at a first end in the blade carrier via a bearing pin, and engages at a second end with a head in a recess of the adjusting ring, wherein the stop contour is arranged at the first end.

2. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the stop contour is formed integrally with the articulated lever.

3. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 2 , wherein the stop contour is designed as a lug.

4. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 2 , wherein the articulated lever is designed as a sheet-metal punched part.

5. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the stop contour is designed as a lug.

6. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 5 , wherein the articulated lever is designed as a sheet-metal punched part.

7. The variable turbine geometry according to claim 1 , wherein the articulated lever is designed as a sheet-metal punched part.

8. An exhaust gas turbocharger comprising a variable turbine geometry having:

guide blades mounted rotatably in a blade carrier via one blade bearing pin for each guide blade;

a blade lever arranged at an end of the blade bearing pin that faces away from the respective guide blade; and

an articulated lever for a simultaneous adjustment of the guide blades via an adjusting ring arranged between two adjacent blade levers;

wherein the articulated lever is provided with a stop contour, and when one of a maximum flow position or a minimum flow position is reached, the stop contour lies against one of the two adjacent blade levers to define the one of the maximum flow position or the minimum flow position;

wherein the stop contour projects in a direction oblique to an axis of the articulated lever such that the articulated lever is asymmetrical with respect to the axis; and

wherein the articulated lever is rotatably mounted at a first end in the blade carrier via a bearing pin, and engages at a second end with a head in a recess of the adjusting ring, wherein the stop contour is arranged at the first end.

9. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 8 , wherein the stop contour is formed integrally with the articulated lever.

10. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 8 , wherein the stop contour is designed as a lug.

11. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 8 , wherein the articulated lever is designed as a sheet-metal punched part.

12. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 9 , wherein the stop contour is designed as a lug.

13. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 9 , wherein the articulated lever is designed as a sheet-metal punched part.
