Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fluid machinery, and in particular relates to a detachable vane diffuser for a turbocharger. Background Art

[0002] Some turbochargers use vane diffusers. The vane diffuser restricts the flow direction of the air flow through the shape of the vanes, thereby shortening the overall structural size of the diffuser passage. By using the difference in the flow cross-sectional area, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, guiding the air flow after the compressor, reducing air flow separation, improving the efficiency of the compressor, and increasing the compression ratio of the compressor.

[0003] The vanes of traditional vane diffusers cannot be disassembled. After the turbocharger operates for a long time, impurities in the air flow wear the vanes, or the grease in the unclean air adheres to the vanes of the vane diffuser, resulting in a change in the fluid area, causing a reduction in the performance of the compressor, or the vanes are corroded, affecting the normal operation of the supercharger. Therefore, this patent application designs a detachable vane diffuser for a turbocharger. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a detachable vane diffuser for a turbocharger to solve the problem that due to the non-disassemblable vanes of the vane diffuser, after the turbocharger operates for a long time, impurities in the air flow wear the vanes, resulting in a change in the fluid area, causing a reduction in the performance of the compressor, and affecting the normal operation of the supercharger.

[0030] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and 2As shown in the figure, a detachable vane diffuser for a turbocharger includes a diffuser body 1. A plurality of positioning grooves 10 are provided on the upper end surface of the diffuser body 1. An installation block 6 is placed in each positioning groove 10. The height of the installation block 6 corresponds to the depth of the positioning groove 10. A blade 2 is provided on each installation block 6. A plurality of blades 2 are arranged at equal circumferential distances along the installation opening 4 provided on the diffuser body 1. A plurality of placement grooves are provided on the lower end surface of the diffuser body 1. The placement grooves are arranged corresponding to the positioning grooves 10. A clamping block 7 is provided in the placement grooves. A fixing member 3 is provided on the diffuser body 1 for fixing the blade 2, the installation block 6, and the clamping block 7;

[0032] A limiting member 8 for limiting the blade 2 is further provided in the positioning groove 10;

[0033] By arranging a plurality of blades 2 asymmetrically on the diffuser body 1, the blade 2 is clamped on one side of the installation block 6 by a fastening bolt and is in close contact with the diffuser body 1 for the installation of the blade 2. The installation block 6 and the clamping block 7 clamp the diffuser body 1 to increase the contact area with the diffuser body 1; at the same time, through the arranged limit pin and fastening bolt, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the blade 2;

[0034] The blade 2 is positioned by a positioning pin. The rubber washer 9 provided at the bottom end of the positioning pin compresses to generate an elastic force to squeeze the installation block 6 and the diffuser body 1. The blade 2 is disassembled and assembled by applying force to rotate the fastening bolt, which is convenient for the maintenance, grinding, and replacement of the blade 2.

[0035] As Figure 3 shown, the limiting member 8 includes a limit pin. The limit pin is fixedly arranged in the positioning groove 10. A rubber washer 9 is arranged around the root of the limit pin; through the arranged rubber washer 9, the rubber washer 9 is correspondingly arranged in the accommodation groove provided at the bottom of the installation block 6. The rubber washer 9 is in close contact with the installation block 6, which can play a role in pressing the installation block 6 and supporting the blade 2.

[0036] A receiving groove corresponding to the rubber washer 9 is provided on the bottom end surface of the installation block 6;

[0037] A through pin hole is provided in the receiving groove of the installation block 6. The limit pin is correspondingly arranged in the pin hole; through the limit pin arranged in the positioning groove 10, the positioning and installation of the installation block 6 can be facilitated. At the same time, the limit pin penetrates outside the installation block 6 and corresponds to the positioning hole provided at the bottom end of the blade 2, achieving the technical effect of positioning the blade 2.

[0038] The positioning groove 10 and the placement groove are both triangular structures. The blade 2, the mounting block 6, and the clamping block 7 are all triangular prism structures. The mounting block 6 is correspondingly arranged in the positioning groove 10, and the clamping block 7 is correspondingly arranged in the placement groove. To prevent the mounting block 6 from rotating, the positioning groove 10 is set as a triangular structure, and the triangular prism-shaped mounting block 6 is correspondingly placed in the positioning groove 10. The position of the mounting block 6 is fixed firmly and reliably, which is convenient for the fixed installation of the blade 2.

[0039] One end of the blade 2 far from the mounting port 4 is provided with a notch, and the fixing member 3 is correspondingly arranged at the notch. By using the provided notch, it is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the blade 2. In addition to the notch adopted in this patent application, other methods such as through holes can also be used, that is, as long as the installation and disassembly of the blade 2 can be realized.

[0040] Positioning holes corresponding to the limit pins are provided on the bottom end face of the blade 2.

[0041] The positioning holes are not shown in the drawings. The positioning holes are arc-shaped. The limit pins are correspondingly arranged in the positioning holes. The blade 2 is adjusted in angle along the setting direction of the positioning holes. The operator can adjust the angle of the blade 2 according to the on-site requirements, and use the fastening bolts to fix the position of the blade 2 with the adjusted angle.

[0042] The fixing member 3 is a fastening bolt. An installation hole penetrating through to the placement groove is provided in the positioning groove 10, and fixing holes corresponding to the fastening bolts are provided on both the mounting block 6 and the clamping block 7.

[0043] A fixing ring 5 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the diffuser body 1. By means of the fixing ring 5 provided on the outer side of the diffuser body 1, the strength of the diffuser body 1 can be improved.

[0044] When implementing this solution, the mounting block 6 is correspondingly inserted onto the limit pin. At this time, the mounting block 6 just falls into the positioning groove 10. The blade 2 is inserted onto the limit pin, and at the same time, the clamping block 7 is placed into the placement groove. The blade 2, the mounting block 6, and the clamping block 7 are fixed by bolts. When the fastening bolt is tightened, the elastic force generated by the compression of the rubber washer 9 provided at the bottom end of the limit pin squeezes the mounting block 6 and the diffuser body 1, pressing against the mounting block 6 tightly. The diffuser body 1 is clamped by the mounting block 6 and the clamping block 7, increasing the contact area with the diffuser body 1. By rotating the fastening bolt, the installation and disassembly of the blade 2 can be realized.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the blade 2, the blade 2 can be rotated. The blade 2 rotates along the setting direction of the positioning holes, and the fastening bolt is tightened to complete the fixation of the blade 2 with the adjusted angle.

[0046] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
