Abstract

A compressor structure for turbochargers 1 including a scroll piece 20, a shroud piece 30 and a seal plate 40 assembled with each other in an axial direction, wherein the scroll piece 20 includes a penetration part 22 penetrating in the axial direction so as to constitute a discharge port 13 and a first intermediate wall surface 23 smoothly extending from an intake-side wall surface 21 to the discharge port 13, the shroud piece 30 includes an inner circumferential side wall surface 32, and the seal plate 40 includes a protruding part 42 provided with a second intermediate wall surface 43 extending from an outer circumferential side wall surface 41 and facing the first intermediate wall surface 23 so as to constitute an inner wall surface 14a of an intermediate part 14 through which the discharge port 13 and the scroll chamber 12 are communicated with each other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compressor structure for turbochargers configured to be able to accommodate an impeller, comprising:
an intake port for drawing in air toward the impeller;
a scroll chamber formed in a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential side of the impeller in such a manner to flow air discharged from the impeller;
a discharge port for discharging air flowing through the scroll chamber to an outside; and
an intermediate part for communicating the discharge port and the scroll chamber,
wherein the compressor structure includes a scroll piece, a shroud piece and a seal plate assembled with each other in an axial direction as separate members,
wherein the scroll piece includes the intake port formed penetrating in the axial direction; an intake-side wall surface constituting a wall surface of the scroll chamber on an intake side on an outer circumferential side of the intake port; a penetration part formed penetrating in the axial direction and having an intake side end constituting the discharge port; and a first intermediate wall surface configured to constitute a part of the inner wall surface of the intermediate part, smoothly extending from the intake-side wall surface to the discharge port in such a manner that an extending direction of the first intermediate wall surface approaches a direction parallel to the axial direction by being bent toward the intake side,
wherein the shroud piece includes a cylindrical shroud press fitting part to be press-fitted into the intake port; an inner circumferential side wall surface constituting a wall surface on an inner circumference side of the scroll chamber; a shroud surface opposed to the impeller; and a diffuser surface extending from the shroud surface toward the scroll chamber,
wherein the seal plate includes an outer circumferential side wall surface constituting a wall surface on an outer circumferential side of the scroll chamber; and a protruding part protruding toward the intake side so as to be inserted into the penetration part in the axial direction,
wherein the protruding part includes a second intermediate wall surface configured to constitute a part of the inner wall surface of the intermediate part, the second intermediate wall surface extending from the outer circumferential side wall surface in such a manner that an extending direction of the second intermediate wall surface approaches a direction parallel to the axial direction by being bent toward the intake side,
wherein the second intermediate wall surface faces in a direction of the first intermediate wall surface, and each of the first intermediate wall surface and the second intermediate wall surface is formed to have a semicircular-arc shape in a cross-section of the intermediate part vertical to a flow path,
wherein the semicircular-arc shape of each of the first intermediate wall surface and the second intermediate wall surface form a circular shape in cross-section for the inner wall surface of the intermediate part, and
wherein each of the first intermediate wall surface and the second intermediate wall surface bend to a direction approaching parallel to the axial direction from a direction orthogonal to the axial direction.
