Air-guiding section for an exhaust turbocharger and exhaust turbocharger
An exhaust turbocharger includes an air-guiding section. A spiral channel is formed downstream of a wheel chamber in the air-guiding section. Between the wheel chamber and the spiral channel, a diffuser channel is formed in the air-guiding section. Upstream of the wheel chamber, an inlet channel is formed in the air-guiding section for the inflow of fluid to be compressed. In the inlet channel, a cross-section-changing unit. The cross-section-changing unit comprises an operating element with at least two movable element parts to produce a baffle which can protrude, with the aid of an adjusting unit, into the inlet cross-section rotationally and/or in a translational manner or can be removed from the inlet cross-section. The two element parts are fixedly disposed at one element end jointly in the air-guiding section. A relative movement of the element parts can be brought about in particular in an opposing direction.
1. An exhaust turbocharger, comprising:
an air-guiding section ( 1 );
a wheel chamber ( 5 ) for rotatable reception of a compressor wheel ( 4 ) having a plurality of rotor disk blades ( 8 );
a spiral channel ( 9 ) formed downstream of the wheel chamber ( 5 ) in the air-guiding section ( 1 );
a diffuser channel ( 10 ) formed in the air-guiding section ( 1 ) between the wheel chamber ( 5 ) and the spiral channel ( 9 );
an inlet channel ( 11 ) formed in the air-guiding section ( 1 ) upstream of the wheel chamber ( 5 ) for an inflow of fluid to be compressed; and
a cross-section-changing unit ( 12 ) for changing an inlet cross-section ( 13 ) of the inlet channel ( 11 ) disposed in the inlet channel ( 11 ),
wherein the cross-section-changing unit ( 12 ) comprises
an operating element ( 14 ) which comprises
at least two movable element parts ( 17 , 18 ) to produce a baffle ( 16 ), the at least two movable element parts
configured to protrude, supported by an adjusting unit ( 15 ), into the inlet cross-section ( 13 ) rotationally and/or in a translational manner or
configured to be completely removed from the inlet cross-section ( 13 ), and
wherein the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) are fixedly disposed at one element end ( 21 ) jointly in the air-guiding section ( 1 ), and
wherein a relative movement of the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) can be brought about in an opposing direction.
2. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) comprise operating sections ( 19 ) which face each other in order to form a through-flow opening.
3. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the operating sections ( 19 ) form a circular periphery when the operating element ( 14 ) is in a closed state.
4. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the element parts ( 17 ) are mirror-symmetrical.
5. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the operating element ( 14 ) can be moved within a positive guide ( 29 ).
6. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the positive guide ( 29 ) has the form of a curved groove ( 29 ) in the air-guiding section ( 1 ).
7. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) and the movement elements ( 20 ) operatively connecting the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) to the adjusting unit ( 15 ) are connected to each other with a pin connection.
8. The exhaust turbocharger as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the movement elements ( 20 ) connecting the element parts ( 17 , 18 ) to the adjusting unit ( 15 ) extend in a straight line.
