Abstract

The present invention includes: a turbine wheel 24 that is attached to a rotating shaft 14 and that has a plurality of turbine blades in the circumferential direction; scroll passages 15 Aa, 15 Ab that are formed in a spiral shape on the outside of the turbine wheel 24 , and that are formed by being divided into a plurality of sections in the circumferential direction, the passages communicating with each other at the position of the turbine wheel 24 disposed between respective tongue sections 15 Ac, 15 Ad; and threads 51 that are provided on an back facing surface 41 disposed so as to oppose the back surface of the turbine wheel 24 , the back surface being on the axially opposite side from the turbine blade side, and the linear parts extending from starting points 51 a near the tongue sections 15 Ac, 15 Ad toward the rotating shaft 14 side so as to control the passage of fluid between the back surface and the back facing surface 41.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An exhaust gas turbocharger comprising:
a turbine wheel attached to a rotating shaft and having a plurality of turbine blades in a circumferential direction;
respective scroll passages formed in a spiral shape outside the turbine wheel, divided into a plurality of pieces in the circumferential direction, and communicating with each other at a position of the turbine wheel located between mutual tongue sections; and
a thread disposed on a back facing surface located to face a back surface axially opposite to a turbine blade side of the turbine wheel, the back facing surface including a flat portion extending from an outer periphery of the turbine wheel to an inner periphery of the turbine wheel, and the thread extending toward a rotating shaft side from a starting point in a vicinity of the respective tongue sections so as to suppress a passage of a fluid between the back surface and the back facing surface.

2. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the starting point of the thread is located within a range of ±30 degrees based on a center of the rotating shaft from a straight line connecting the tongue section and the center of the rotating shaft.

3. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the thread is continuously formed from one of the tongue sections to the other one of the tongue sections along a side portion of the rotating shaft.

4. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the thread is continuously formed from one of the tongue sections to the other one of the tongue sections along a side portion of the rotating shaft, and are respectively located in both side portions of the rotating shaft serving as a boundary.

5. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread is formed integrally with the plate section.

6. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

7. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel, and is attached separately from the plate section.

8. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thread is continuously formed from one of the tongue sections to the other one of the tongue sections along a side portion of the rotating shaft.

9. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 8 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread is formed integrally with the plate section.

10. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 8 ,
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

11. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thread is continuously formed from one of the tongue sections to the other one of the tongue sections along a side portion of the rotating shaft, and are respectively located in both side portions of the rotating shaft serving as a boundary.

12. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 11 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread is formed integrally with the plate section.

13. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 11 ,
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

14. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread is formed integrally with the plate section.

15. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 14 ,
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

16. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

17. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 16 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the convex object is disposed in the plate section so that the starting point is locked to an upstream side in the tongue section in a rotating direction of the turbine wheel.

18. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the back facing surface is formed in a plate section to be located on a back surface side of the turbine wheel, and
wherein the thread includes a convex object projecting from the back facing surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel, and is attached separately from the plate section.

19. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the thread includes a concave object recessed opposing the back surface of the turbine wheel from the back facing surface, and
wherein the concave object has an inclined bottom surface recessed while being inclined from an upstream side to a downstream side in a rotating direction of the turbine wheel, and has a standing wall surface standing up from the inclined bottom surface toward the back surface of the turbine wheel.

20. The exhaust gas turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
