[0027] The utility model is further explained in combination with the drawings and specific embodiment, so that the person skilled in the art can better understand the utility model and can be implemented, but the embodiment is not as the limitation of the utility model. Example one

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-6 The utility model discloses a turbocharger actuator, including actuator rocker arm and bypass valve rocker arm, and the two rocker arms are all provided with pin shaft, including,

[0029] Pull rod 1, both ends of pull rod 1 are all provided with through hole 11, the inner wall of through hole 11 is all provided with a plurality of recesses that are arranged uniformly around its circumference, the recesses between adjacent recesses form the protrusion 12 of gear tooth shape, and both ends of pull rod 1 are rotatably connected to two pin shafts 3 through through hole 11;

[0030] The two star washers 2 are respectively sleeved on the two pin shafts 3, the side surface of the pin shaft 3 is coaxially provided with an annular groove 31, one end of the star washer 2 with a small diameter is clamped in the annular groove 31, and one end of the star washer 2 with a large diameter is tightly pressed against the pull rod 1.

[0031] Specifically, the two ends of the original pull rod 1 are respectively connected with the pin shaft 3 on the actuator rocker arm 4 and the bypass valve rocker arm 5 through the circular through hole, the inner wall of the through hole 11 is in close contact with the side surface of the pin shaft 3, when the pull rod 1 and the pin shaft 3 rotate relatively and the rotating speed is relatively high or the torque is relatively large, the sharp metal friction sound is easily generated between the pin shaft 3 and the inner wall of the through hole 11. The existing method for improving the noise is to smear grease between the pin shaft 3 and the inner wall of the through hole 11 to reduce the friction, but the grease will affect the appearance of the product and needs to be supplemented regularly. The turbocharger actuator of the utility model changes the contact surface between the inner wall of the through hole 11 and the pin shaft 3 from continuous linear contact or surface contact into discontinuous linear contact or surface contact by setting the inner wall of the through hole 11 into the shape of gear teeth, thereby reducing the friction in the way of reducing the contact area, and the problem of friction noise is optimized.

[0032] Specifically, the original turbocharger actuator avoids the pull rod 1 from being loosened from the pin shaft 3 by clamping an E-shaped snap ring on the pin shaft 3, but there is an axial gap between the pull rod 1 and the snap ring, so that the pull rod 1 will axially move and collide during the operation of the actuator, thereby generating noise. The turbocharger actuator of the utility model replaces the E-shaped snap ring with the star washer 2, the star washer 2 not only can prevent the pull rod 1 from being loosened from the pin shaft 3, but also can limit the position of the pull rod 1, so that the pull rod 1 is tightly pressed and the axial movement of the pull rod 1 is limited, thereby reducing the noise.

[0033] The turbocharger actuator of the utility model changes the original circular through hole on the pull rod 1 into the shape of gear teeth, changes the contact surface between the inner wall of the through hole 11 and the pin shaft 3 from continuous linear contact or surface contact into discontinuous linear contact or surface contact, reduces the friction in the way of reducing the contact area, and optimizes the problem of friction noise; meanwhile, the E-shaped snap ring is replaced with the star washer 2, which not only can prevent the pull rod 1 from being loosened, but also can limit the position of the pull rod 1, avoid the axial movement of the pull rod 1, and further reduce the noise.

[0034] Referring to Figs. 1 to 3, Figure 2 and Figure 4 Further, the top of the protrusion 12 is a flat surface or a circular arc surface matched with the outer circular surface of the pin shaft 3.

[0035] Further, the diameter of the circle where the top of the protrusion 12 is located is matched with the diameter of the pin shaft 3.

[0036] Referring to Figure 6 Further, the top of the pin shaft 3 is provided with a large chamfer 32, which facilitates the installation of the star washer 2.

[0037] Further, the pull rod 1 comprises a rod body 13 and a connecting portion 14 integrally formed at both ends of the rod body 13, the connecting portion 14 is circular, and the through hole 11 is coaxially arranged on the connecting portion 14.

[0038] Further, the maximum diameter of the star washer 2 is not greater than the diameter of the connecting portion 14. Specifically, the diameter of the star washer 2 should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion 14, so that the star washer 2 and the connecting portion 14 have a large enough contact area, which can better limit the axial direction of the pull rod 1.

[0039] Further, the pull rod 1 and the pin shaft 3 are made of stainless steel, but are not limited to stainless steel.

[0040] Further, the surface of the pin shaft 3 is covered with a nickel-phosphorus coating or a nitriding coating, which can improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the pin shaft 3, and also has a lubricating effect, which can reduce the friction between the pull rod 1 and the pin shaft 3, and further reduce the noise caused by friction.

[0041] Further, the star washer 2 is made of stainless steel or manganese steel. Embodiment two

[0043] Apparently, the above embodiment is only for clearly illustrating the example, and is not limited to the implementation mode. For ordinary skilled person in the art, on the basis of the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made. Here, it is not necessary and cannot be exhausted to all implementation modes. The obvious changes or variations derived from still be in the protection scope of the utility model creation.
