AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a bearing housing for a turbocharger that has the following technical effects: reducing the weight of the bearing housing by using an aluminum-based material for the relatively low-temperature compressor-side housing, preventing temperature rise of the bearing housing in a high-temperature environment, preventing deformation, damage, and the like due to the high temperature by using stainless steel for the relatively high-temperature turbine-side housing, reducing lubricating oil stays in the turbine-side housing by using stainless steel with low surface roughness, preventing heat transfer from the turbine-side housing to the compressor-side housing.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the above-described bearing housing manufactured by using cast iron has a difficulty in reducing the weight thereof since the cast iron has a relatively high density.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]In the following description, in accordance with arrows shown in the figures, a front-back direction, an up-down direction, and a left-right direction are defined individually.

[0042]With reference to FIG. 1, description will be given of an overview of operation for a turbocharger 10 having a bearing housing 100 (refer to FIG. 3 and the like) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0043]The turbocharger 10 is for feeding compressed air into a cylinder 2 of an engine. The air is supplied to the cylinder 2 via an intake passage 1. The air sequentially passes through an air cleaner 4, the turbocharger 10, an intercooler 5, and a throttle valve 6 which are disposed along the intake passage 1, and then the air is supplied to the cylinder 2. At this time, since a compressor 30 of the turbocharger 10 compresses the air, much more air can be fed into the cylinder 2.

[0044]High-temperature air (exhaust) after burning inside the cylinder 2 is discharged via an exhaust passag...

Abstract

There is provided a turbocharger bearing housing which is capable of reducing the weight thereof. A bearing housing of a turbocharger contains a shaft connecting a turbine and a compressor, and turnably supports the shaft. The bearing housing of the turbocharger is divided into a turbine-side housing disposed at a turbine side and a compressor-side housing disposed at a compressor side. The compressor-side housing is formed of an aluminum-based material.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a technique of a turbocharger bearing housing provided in an internal combustion engine.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Conventionally, there has been publicly known a technique of a turbocharger bearing housing provided in an internal combustion engine. Such a technique of a turbocharger bearing housing is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H9-310620.[0003]The turbocharger bearing housing rotatably supports a shaft connecting a turbine driven by exhaust gas and a compressor for compressing intake air. Such a bearing housing is manufactured by casting using cast iron.[0004]Unfortunately, the above-described bearing housing manufactured by using cast iron has a difficulty in reducing the weight thereof since the cast iron has a relatively high density.DISCLOSURE OF INVENTIONTechnical Problem[0005]The present invention has been devised to solve the disadvantageous point described above, and an object thereof i...
