Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A turbocharger has a regulating unit for controlling the output of the turbocharger. The regulating unit can be adjusted by an actuator. The actuator is connected to the regulating unit by way of an actuating member and a lever. The actuating member and the lever are interconnected by way of a screw-nut element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 9 . (canceled) 10 . An exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly, comprising: an exhaust-gas turbocharger; a regulating unit for regulating a power of said exhaust-gas turbocharger, said regulating unit having an operation lever assigned thereto; an actuator for operating said regulating unit, said actuator having an thrust rod for operating said regulating unit via said operation lever; an adjustment member connecting said thrust rod with said operation lever, said adjustment member having an attachment element coupled to said operation lever and a screw-nut element, said screw-nut element having a first threaded region coupling said screw-nut element to said attachment element, and a second threaded region coupling said screw-nut element to said thrust rod. 11 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said screw-nut element s formed with an operation region configured for the engagement of a tightening tool. 12 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said screw-nut element is formed with an internal thread and with an external thread. 13 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 12 , wherein a pitch of said internal thread equals a pitch of said external thread of said screw-nut element. 14 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 12 , wherein said actuator is a pneumatic actuator, and wherein a pitch of said internal thread of said screw-nut element is different from a pitch of said external thread of said screw-nut element. 15 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 12 , wherein said lever has an internal thread and said positioning member has an external thread, and said internal and external threads mesh with respective threads of said screw-nut element. 16 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 12 , wherein said lever has an external thread and said positioning member has an internal thread, and said external and internal threads mesh with respective threads of said screw-nut element. 17 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , which comprises a lock nut bracing said screw-nut element. 18 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said lever is formed with an internal thread meshing with an external thread formed on a projection of said screw-nut element. 19 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said lever is fixedly connected to a threaded piece disposed to mesh with an external thread formed on a projection of said screw-nut element. 20 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 19 , wherein said threaded piece is a nut. 21 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said positioning member is formed with an external thread which meshes with said second threaded region being an internal thread of said screw-nut element. 22 . The exhaust-gas turbocharger assembly according to claim 21 , which comprises a locking nut connected to said positioning member for bracing said screw-nut element.
