Abstract

A turbine housing includes: a housing body which includes a turbine housing part housing a turbine wheel, an inlet section forming an inlet flow passage for guiding exhaust gas to the turbine housing part, an outlet section forming an outlet flow passage for discharging the exhaust gas from the turbine housing part, and a waste-gate flow passage which brings the inlet flow passage and the outlet flow passage into communication so as to bypass the turbine housing part; and a sleeve disposed along an inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste gate flow passage, at least on a downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to a flow direction of the exhaust gas.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A turbine housing, comprising:
a housing body which includes a turbine housing part housing a turbine wheel, an inlet section forming an inlet flow passage for guiding exhaust gas to the turbine housing part, an outlet section forming an outlet flow passage for discharging the exhaust gas from the turbine housing part, and a waste-gate flow passage which brings the inlet flow passage and the outlet flow passage into communication so as to bypass the turbine housing part; and
a sleeve disposed along an inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste gate flow passage, at least on a downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to a flow direction of the exhaust gas,
wherein the sleeve includes a plurality of sections divided along the flow direction of the exhaust gas.

2. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sleeve has a cylindrical shape extending along the flow direction of the exhaust gas.

3. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sleeve is disposed only on the downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to the flow direction of the exhaust gas.

4. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the housing body includes a concave portion disposed along a peripheral edge of an opening end on the downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to the flow direction of the exhaust gas, and
wherein the sleeve includes a convex portion disposed so as to project outward in a radial direction of the sleeve so as to be engaged with the concave portion.

5. The turbine housing according to claim 4 ,
further comprising a fixing piece for fixing the sleeve to the housing body,
wherein the convex portion of the sleeve is held between the fixing piece and the housing body while being in engagement with the concave portion of the housing body.

6. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sleeve is supported on the housing body so that a gap is formed between the inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste-gate flow passage and an outer surface of the sleeve.

7. The turbine housing according to claim 6 ,
further comprising a heat-insulating material disposed in the gap.

8. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the housing body includes a protruding portion disposed so as to protrude inward in a radial direction from the inner wall surface of the housing body so as to be in contact with an end portion on a side of the inlet section of the sleeve.

9. The turbine housing according to claim 1 ,
wherein the sleeve includes a thermal barrier coating on an inner surface of the sleeve.

10. An exhaust turbine, comprising:
the turbine housing according to claim 1 ; and
a turbine wheel accommodated in the turbine housing.

11. A turbocharger, comprising:
the exhaust turbine according to claim 10 ; and
a compressor configured to be driven by the exhaust turbine.

12. A turbine housing, comprising:
a housing body which includes a turbine housing part housing a turbine wheel, an inlet section forming an inlet flow passage for guiding exhaust gas to the turbine housing part, an outlet section forming an outlet flow passage for discharging the exhaust gas from the turbine housing part, and a waste-gate flow passage which brings the inlet flow passage and the outlet flow passage into communication so as to bypass the turbine housing part, and
a sleeve disposed along an inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste gate flow passage, at least on a downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to a flow direction of the exhaust gas,

wherein the sleeve is supported on the housing body so that a gap is formed between the inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste-gate flow passage and an outer surface of the sleeve,
wherein the housing body includes a pressure support portion disposed so as to protrude by a width of the gap inward in a radial direction from the inner wall surface of the housing body.

13. A turbine housing, comprising:
a housing body which includes a turbine housing part housing a turbine wheel, an inlet section forming an inlet flow passage for guiding exhaust gas to the turbine housing part, an outlet section forming an outlet flow passage for discharging the exhaust gas from the turbine housing part, and a waste-gate flow passage which brings the inlet flow passage and the outlet flow passage into communication so as to bypass the turbine housing part; and
a sleeve disposed along an inner wall surface of the housing body forming the waste gate flow passage, at least on a downstream side of the waste-gate flow passage of the housing body with respect to a flow direction of the exhaust gas,
wherein an end portion on a side of the inlet section of the sleeve has a shape which extends outward in a radial direction toward an upstream side with respect to the flow direction of the exhaust gas in the waste-gate flow passage.
