Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turbochargers, in particular to an integrated bearing shell structure of an axial-flow turbocharger. Background Art

[0002] Turbocharging technology is a key technology that uses the exhaust energy of diesel engines to compress the intake air, thereby improving engine power, fuel economy and reducing emissions. The bearing shell is one of the important parts of the turbocharger. The reasonable design of the bearing shell is not only related to the stability of the bearing system, but also plays an important role in the rationality of the assembly clearance between other matching parts.

[0003] Currently, the bearing shells of smaller axial-flow turbochargers mostly adopt a split design, and the bearing shells are divided into two parts: a pressure-end bearing seat and a bearing shell.

[0004] However, as diesel engines require large flow and high pressure ratios, the size of axial-flow turbochargers will also increase. If the bearing shell still adopts a separate design, there will be problems such as difficulty in assembly and high casting and processing costs, which is not conducive to the use of the bearing shell. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an integrated bearing shell structure for an axial-flow turbocharger, aiming to solve the technical problem that as the volume of the existing axial-flow turbocharger increases, the bearing shell adopts a separate design, which leads to great assembly difficulty and high casting and processing costs, which is not conducive to the use of the bearing shell.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts an axial-flow turbocharger integrated bearing shell structure, including a compressor impeller, a compression end bearing seat, an integrated bearing shell, turbine blades and a turbine shaft, the compression end bearing seat is fixedly connected to the integrated bearing shell and is located in the integrated bearing shell, the turbine shaft is movably connected to the integrated bearing shell and is located in the integrated bearing shell, the turbine shaft is also movably connected to the compression end bearing seat and passes through the compression end bearing seat, the turbine blades are fixedly connected to the turbine shaft and are located at one end of the turbine shaft, and the compressor impeller is fixedly connected to the turbine shaft and is located at the other end of the turbine shaft.

[0007] Wherein, the turbine blades include a turbine seat and a plurality of blades, the turbine seat is fixedly connected to the turbine shaft and is located at one end of the turbine shaft away from the compressor impeller, and the plurality of blades are fixedly connected to the turbine seat and are distributed circumferentially on the turbine seat.

[0008] Wherein, the one-piece bearing shell has two air guide holes, and the two air guide holes are symmetrically arranged in the one-piece bearing shell.

[0009] Wherein, the one-piece bearing shell, the pressure end bearing seat and the turbine shaft are clearance-fitted.

[0010] The utility model discloses an integrated bearing shell structure of an axial-flow turbocharger. By integrating the compression end bearing seat directly with the integrated bearing shell, the number of parts of the turbocharger is reduced, and the operational safety and reliability thereof is improved. In addition, the integrated bearing shell is processed by shell casting and mating surface milling, and is assembled with the compression end bearing seat, the turbine blades and the turbine shaft in a clearance fit. By providing an air guide hole on the integrated bearing shell that guides from the compressor impeller to the turbine shaft and the turbine blade end, the compression end low-temperature (relative to the turbine end high-temperature) high-pressure gas during the operation of the turbocharger can be guided to the turbine end, so as to achieve the goal of sealing the turbine end lubricating oil and cooling the turbine, thereby reducing the risk caused by turbine end lubricating oil leakage during the operation of the turbocharger and improving the fatigue life of the turbine. Through the above-mentioned method, it is achieved that the bearing shell can be applied to large-volume axial-flow superchargers, greatly improving its reliability and convenient installation requirements, reducing the difficulty and process steps of casting and processing, and facilitating the use of the bearing shell.
