Abstract

Provided is a supercharger (11) comprising: a hollow housing (15); a rotating shaft (14) rotatably supported by the housing (15); a turbine (12) provided at one axial end of the rotating shaft (14); and a compressor (13) provided at the other axial end of the rotating shaft (14). A threaded section (41) and a circular column section (42) are axially arranged at the other end of the rotating shaft (14). A threaded hole (43) with which the threaded section (41) is engaged and a fitting hole (44) in which the circular column section (42) is fitted are axially arranged in the compressor (13). The axial length of the circular column section (42) and the fitting hole (44) is set to be greater than the axial length of the threaded section (41) and the threaded hole (43).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A turbocharger comprising:
a housing having a hollow shape;
a rotary shaft rotatably supported by the housing;
a turbine disposed in one end portion in an axial direction in the rotary shaft; and
a compressor disposed in the other end portion in the axial direction in the rotary shaft,
wherein a screw portion and a column portion are disposed along the axial direction in the other end portion of the rotary shaft,
wherein a screw hole into which the screw portion is screwed and a fitting hole into which the column portion is fitted are disposed along the axial direction in the compressor,
wherein each axial length dimension of the column portion and the fitting hole is set to be longer than each axial length dimension of the screw portion and the screw hole,
wherein the column portion is disposed on a side of the other end portion of the rotary shaft from the screw portion, and the screw hole is disposed on a side of an attachment surface of the compressor from the fitting hole, and
a diameter of the column portion is smaller than a diameter of the fitting hole and a pitch diameter of the screw portion is smaller than a pitch diameter of the screw hole.

2. The turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein an outer diameter dimension of the column portion is set to be smaller than an inner diameter dimension of the screw hole.

3. The turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are disposed on a side of an attachment surface of the compressor from a largest outer diameter position of the compressor.

4. The turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are disposed on a side of a tip portion of the compressor from a largest outer diameter position of the compressor.

5. The turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface of the compressor, and are closed toward a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

6. The turbocharger according to claim 1 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface and a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

7. The turbocharger according to claim 6 ,
wherein the other end portion of the rotary shaft protrudes to the side of the tip portion of the compressor, and has a tapered shape.

8. The turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are disposed on a side of an attachment surface of the compressor from a largest outer diameter position of the compressor.

9. The turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are disposed on a side of a tip portion of the compressor from a largest outer diameter position of the compressor.

10. The turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface of the compressor, and are closed toward a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

11. The turbocharger according to claim 3 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface of the compressor, and are closed toward a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

12. The turbocharger according to claim 4 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface of the compressor, and are closed toward a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

13. The turbocharger according to claim 2 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface and a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

14. The turbocharger according to claim 3 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface and a side of a tip portion of the compressor.

15. The turbocharger according to claim 4 ,
wherein the screw hole and the fitting hole are open toward a side of an attachment surface and a side of a tip portion of the compressor.
