With the development of modern marine diesel engine towards high power density, the performance index of turbocharger has put forward requirements such as high efficiency, high stability and long life. At present, turbocharger commonly uses fixed sliding radial bearing type, full floating sliding bearing type and rolling bearing type. Among them, fixed sliding bearing is characterized by large load-bearing capacity, but under high speed conditions, oil film agitation will occur in the bearing rotor, which will cause rotor instability, and it is suitable for rotors running at low speed; the characteristic of full floating sliding bearing is to ensure efficient and stable operation of rotor under high speed conditions, and its service life reaches more than 24000h under good lubricating oil supply, but its load-bearing capacity is small; the characteristic of rolling bearing type is large radial load-bearing capacity and small rotational friction resistance, but the mutual wear between its ball bearing body and cage is large during long-term operation, and its effective working life is only about 8000h. Therefore, for large axial flow superchargers, it is necessary to redesign a radial bearing structure with high load-bearing capacity and high efficiency to ensure the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the supercharger rotor.

Oil is supplied through the pressure-end radial bearing to ensure sufficient oil supply to the thrust bearing.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the turbine end sealing end cover 4 is provided with a sealing groove, which forms a labyrinth sealing structure together with the turbine end gas seal 6 sleeved on the rotor shaft, which is used to prevent high-temperature combustion gas from entering the turbine end, causing the turbine end bearing oil film to fail due to high-temperature burning; the turbine end sealing end cover 4 is also provided with an oil baffle plate 41 and an oil return groove 42, which together with the turbine end gas seal 6 form an oil seal structure, which is used to prevent the lubricating oil in the turbine end radial bearing 7 from entering the turbine combustion gas working area and causing combustion accidents.

Oil is introduced from the bottom of the bearing shell to facilitate the establishment of oil supply pressure and sufficient oil supply. The interior of the bearing shell 1 is designed as a larger cavity to facilitate heat dissipation of the bearing structure.

[0039] The working principle of the semi-floating radial bearing structure of the present invention is as follows: when the rotor shaft rotates at high speed, the pressurized lubricating oil continuously enters and flows out of the inner hole of the bearing and forms a three-oil wedge structure with the rotor shaft to form a high-pressure oil film to support the operation of the rotor; at the same time, the pressurized lubricating oil enters the gap between the outer circle of the bearing and the bearing seat hole. Due to the limitation of the bearing stop pin, the radial bearing can only slide slightly in the bearing seat hole, generating an extrusion oil film damping effect, thereby improving the stability of the radial bearing, increasing the bearing load-bearing capacity, and meeting the design technical requirements of high efficiency, long life, and large-scale superchargers; at the same time, an oil seal and an air seal structure are provided at the compression / turbulence end to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the rotor.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
