[0003] A protruding boss is formed on the thrust plate body, which makes the structure and manufacturing process of the thrust plate more complicated, the cost is higher, and the stacking and storage of parts are inconvenient; only a single boss is used to limit the rotation of the outer ring of the ball bearing, so that the outer ring is subjected to force on one side. In the working state, the entire outer ring of the ball bearing will be biased to one side and skewed relative to the bearing hole, causing eccentric wear of the ball bearing, and uneven radial clearance along the circumference of the supercharger shaft system and the impeller and the housing, affecting the aerodynamic performance.

[0006] Two planar notches are provided on the outer circle of the left end portion of the outer ring of the ball bearing, and the two planar notches are centrally symmetrically arranged with the axis of the ball bearing as the center.
