Abstract

A turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger includes an outer housing, in which an inner housing with a tubular nozzle and an outlet duct for connection to an exhaust gas system is arranged, wherein the outlet duct is coupled to the tubular nozzle via a sealing lip for relative movement. The sealing lip is inwardly evertedly pushed onto the nozzle and for positional fixing, a sliding sleeve is further arranged on the nozzle, wherein the sliding sleeve and the nozzle form a gap in which an end of the sealing lip is received. This avoids that the sealing lip lifts of due to pressure differences and thus that gas leaks occur. Further, an end of the sealing lip is arranged so as to be thermally protected.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A turbine housing of an exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising
an outer housing;
an inner housing arranged in the outer housing and having a tubular nozzle and an outlet duct for connection with an exhaust gas system;
a sealing lip coupling the outlet duct to the tubular nozzle for movement of the outlet duct relative to the nozzle, wherein the sealing lip is pushed onto the nozzle in an inwardly everted manner; and
a sliding sleeve arranged on the nozzle, wherein the sliding sleeve and the nozzle form a gap which receives an end of the sealing lip.

2. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the gap circumferentially surrounds the nozzle so as to be oriented parallel to a turbine wheel rotation axis, and is formed between an outer sheath surface of the nozzle and a sealing shoulder of the sliding sleeve.

3. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein an end of the sealing lip is supported in the gap for the movement of the outlet duct relative to the nozzle.

4. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein at least some regions of the end of the sealing lip have a surface on a side of the nozzle and/or on a side of the sliding sleeve side which is rougher relative to remaining portions of the sealing lip.

5. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein an end of the sealing shoulder is angled to point radially outward.

6. The turbine housing of claim 5 , wherein the end of the sealing shoulder has a radius.

7. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the sliding sleeve is materially bonded to an end of the nozzle.

8. The turbine housing of claim 7 , wherein the sliding sleeve is materially bonded to the end of the nozzle by a thermal joining process.

9. The turbine housing of claim 1 , further comprising an outlet duct support ring, materially bonded to the outlet duct.

10. The turbine housing of claim 9 , wherein the outlet duct support ring, the outlet duct and the sealing lip are materially bonded to one another.

11. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the outlet duct support ring is widened in a direction of the inner housing.

12. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein an interference fit is formed at sites of coupling of the sealing lip with the outlet duct and/or the nozzle.

13. The turbine housing of claim 2 , wherein an interference fit is formed at sites of coupling of the sealing lip with the sealing shoulder and/or an outlet duct support ring.

14. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the inner housing is supported for axial and radial movement relative to the outlet duct with regard to a turbine wheel rotation axis.

15. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lip has a wall thickness of less than 0.5 mm.

16. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lip has a wall thickness of less than 0.2 mm.

17. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lip is made of a nickel based alloy.

18. The turbine housing of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lip is configured double-walled.
