Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A turbocharger for a motor vehicle has a housing and a valve seat in the housing. The valve seat is retained in an interlocking manner in the housing by at least one elastic securing element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A turbocharger for a motor vehicle, comprising: a housing; a valve seat arranged in the housing; and at least one elastic securing element by which the valve seat is held in the housing in an interlocking connection. 2. The turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the interlocking connection between the housing and the valve seat is configured via the elastic securing element so that the elastic securing element is tensioned before forming the interlocking connection of the valve seat and the housing and has the tension at least partly relaxed after forming the interlocking connection. 3. The turbocharger according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic securing element protrudes into a material recess in the housing. 4. The turbocharger according to claim 3 , wherein the material recess is ring shaped. 5. The turbocharger according to claim 3 , wherein the elastic securing element is a snap ring. 6. The turbocharger according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic securing element protrudes into a material recess on the valve seat. 7. The turbocharger according to claim 6 , wherein the material recess is ring shaped. 8. The turbocharger according to claim 6 , wherein the elastic securing is a snap ring. 9. The turbocharger according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic securing element is a snap ring. 10. The turbocharger according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has an annular end stop against which an end face of the valve seat presses. 11. The turbocharger according to claim 1 , further comprising: a bypass channel in the housing, wherein the valve seat is arranged in the bypass channel. 12. A method of manufacturing a turbocharger having a housing and a valve seat arranged in the housing, the method comprising the acts of: providing the valve seat with an elastic securing element, the elastic securing element being tensioned for connecting the valve seat and the housing; introducing the valve seat having the tensioned elastic securing element into the housing, wherein the elastic securing element at least partly relaxes the tension as soon as the valve seat reaches an end installation position in the housing.
