Abstract

In the neighborhood area X of the tongue part 27 forming the winding end part of the scroll part 3 , the wall part members 31 are provided on both the sides of the welding part (the facing part) ‘a’ of the first scroll part 5 and the second scroll part 7 , wherein: the wall part members 31 encloses the welding part (the facing part) ‘a’ and forms the gas-tight space 33 ; and, the outer circumference wall which enclose the facing part and forms a gas-tight space configure a double-wall structure.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A turbine housing made of sheet metal comprising:
a scroll part forming a spiral exhaust gas passage, the scroll part including
a first scroll member and
a second scroll member which faces and is bounded to the first scroll member,
the first scroll member and the second scroll member being made of sheet metal;

a first wall part member which is arranged on one side of a facing part of the first scroll member and the second scroll member, in a neighborhood area of a tongue part configuring a winding end part of the scroll part, so that the first wall part member connects an outer wall surface of the scroll part to an outer wall surface of a flow inlet part of exhaust gas, the first wall part member is a separate part from the first scroll member and the second scroll member; and
a second wall part member which is arranged on another side of the facing part of the first scroll member and the second scroll member, in neighborhood area of the tongue part configuring the winding end part of the scroll part, so that the second wall part member connects the outer wall surface of the winding end part of the scroll part to the outer wall surface of the flow inlet part of the exhaust gas of the scroll part, the second wall part member is a separate part from the first scroll member and the second scroll member,
wherein
upper ends of the first wall part member and the second wall part member connect to the outer wall surfaces of the winding end part of the scroll part;
lower ends of the first wall part member and the second wall part member connect to the outer wall surfaces of the flow inlet part of the scroll part; and
front ends between the upper ends and the lower ends of both the first wall part member and the second wall part member are closed so as to enclose the facing part and form a gas-tight space closed to gas flow through the gas-tight space.

2. The turbine housing made of sheet metal according to claim 1 ,
wherein
both the first scroll member and the second scroll member are integrated into one body by weld-bonding along the whole circumference in the spiral direction of the scroll part.

3. The turbine housing made of sheet metal according to claim 1 ,
wherein
the facing part of both the first scroll member and the second scroll member is not weld-bonded, the facing part being located inside of a space between the first wall part member and the second wall part member;
an other facing part of both the first wall part member and the second wall part member is integrated into one-body by weld-bonding the other facing part along the whole circumference in the spiral direction of the scroll part.

4. A turbine housing made of sheet metal comprising:
a scroll part forming a spiral exhaust passage, the scroll part being configured with scroll part members which face each other and are butt-joined together, the scroll members being made of sheet metal,
wherein:
the scroll part is formed so that both the scroll part members are integrated into one body by weld-bonding the scroll part members along the whole circumference in the spiral direction of the scroll part;
a welding-joint line is provided so as to depart from an area where a tongue part forming a winding-end part of the scroll part is formed in the turbine rotation axis direction in the neighborhood of the tongue part; and
the tongue part is formed only with one of the scroll part members.
