Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of turbochargers having variable turbine inlet geometries. More particularly, the present invention provides a simplified structural arrangement for positioning multiple aerodynamic vanes in the inlet nozzle of the turbine housing and an integrated actuator for control of the vane position.
- variable nozzles In a turbocharger it is often desirable to control the flow of exhaust gas into the turbine to improve the efficiency or operational range.
- Various configurations of variable nozzles have been employed to control the exhaust gas flow.
- Multiple pivoting vanes annularly positioned around the turbine inlet and commonly controlled to alter the throat area of the passages between the vanes is an approach which has been successfully used in prior turbochargers.
- Various approaches to this method for implementing a variable nozzle are disclosed in US Patent numbers 4,679,984 to Swihart et al. entitled “Actuation System for Variable Nozzle Turbine” and 4,804,316 to Fleury entitled “Suspension for the Pivoting Vane Actuation Mechanism of a Variable Nozzle Turbocharger” having a common assignee with the present application.
- a variable geometry turbocharger employing the present invention includes a turbine housing having a standard inlet for exhaust gas and an outlet to the exhaust system of the engine.
- a volute is connected to the inlet and an integral outer nozzle wall is incorporated in the turbine housing casting adjacent the volute.
- a center housing is attached to the turbine housing .
- a center bore in the center housing carries a bearing assembly.
- a compressor housing having an air inlet and a compressed air outlet is attached to the center housing.
- a turbine wheel is carried within the turbine housing and attached to a shaft extending through the center housing, supported by the bearing assembly.
- the shaft attached to a compressor impeller carried within the compressor housing.
- a plurality of vanes having rotation posts extending from a first surface substantially parallel to the outer nozzle wall provide the variable nozzle.
- the posts are received in circumferentially spaced apertures in the outer nozzle wall.
- the vanes further have actuation tabs extending from the opposite surface of the vanes.
- a unison ring is engaged between the center housing and the vanes and has a plurality of profiled slots equal in number to the vanes.
- the slots are oriented obliquely to a circumference of the unison ring and receive the tabs.
- the profiled surfaces of the slots engage the substantially flat sides of the tabs on different surfaces during the translation to provide optimum control and wear reduction.
- Actuation of the unison ring is accomplished by a radial slot and a crank shaft having a pin engaging the radial slot.
- the crank shaft is movable continuously from a first position to a second position, causing the pin to translate in the radial slot and impart force perpendicular to the radial slot to urge rotational motion of the unison ring.
- the rotational motion of the unison ring causes the tabs to traverse the actuation slots from a first end of the slots to a second end of the slots.
- the oblique orientation of the slots causes a continuously variable rotation of the vanes from a first open position to a second closed position.
- An integral hydraulic actuator provides the actuation mechanism for the crank shaft.
- the actuator uses a piston and piston rod attached by a rack and pinion to the crank shaft for position control of the vanes.
- Hydraulic pressure to operate the piston is provided by a solenoid operated multiport valve with direct feedback through a cam mounted on the crank shaft adjacent the pinion gear.

- the crank extends into a boss 58 in the center housing casting through a bushing 60 and a gear 62 which is secured to the crank by a pin 64 and is received into an end bearing 66 which mates with aperture 68 in the crank boss.
- An O-ring 70 seals the end bearing and a snap ring 72 secures the end bearing into the aperture 68.
- a bearing system having two journal bearings 74 and a bearing spacer 76 support the shaft wheel assembly in the center housing center bore 78.
- the shaft further extends through a thrust collar 80 which engages a thrust bearing 82 carried between the center housing and compressor back plate.
- a piston ring 84 seals the thrust collar with the shaft bore in the back plate.
- the stack up of the shaft wheel assembly within the turbine housing, center housing and back plate is best seen in Fig. 2.
- the unison ring and vanes are not shown for clarity.
- the compressor impeller 86 is attached to the shaft wheel assembly. Referring again to Fig. 1 , the integrated actuator for the turbocharger is housed in an actuator boss 82 in the casting of the center housing 18.

- Fig. 7 shows one embodiment of the unison ring 48 that incorporates blind slots 46 while providing a blind relief 138 on the reverse side of the ring with pressure ports 140 machined into the relief.
- Fig. 8 is a detail side section of the relieved unison ring engaging the vanes in the nozzle.
- pressure of the exhaust gas entering the nozzle pressurizes the relieved back portion 138 of the unison ring through gap 142 provided by tolerancing of the mounting channel 144 in the back plate 120, through ports 140.
- a feed hole 146 is provided through the back plate into the unison ring mounting channel proximate the location of the ports 144.
- Total pressure of the exhaust gas urges the unison ring against the vanes, which are in turn urged against the nozzle surface 38 in the turbine housing.
- Holes 42 receiving the vane pins 40 are provided with sufficient depth to allow the vanes to be maintained in close contact with the nozzle surface and unison ring for minimum vane leakage.

- the solenoid valve is a proportional servo 4-way hydraulic actuator control valve.
- Fig. 9a if no current is applied to the solenoid, port A is open, port B (top of the piston) is connected to drain port D.
- Fig. 9b when oil pressure is applied from the engine on which the turbocharger is mounted, oil pressure is directed through port A into the bottom of the piston, placing the vanes in a fully open position.
- port A is closed, port A (bottom of the piston) is connected to drain, port B opens and oil pressure is directed to the top of the piston, moving the piston to the left starting to close the vanes.
- Fig. 9c shows the condition of the actuation systems with a balanced state low current in the solenoid.
- Port A is closed, port B is closed and the vanes are positioned as a function of the applied current.
- Fig. 9d shows that port B is opened directing oil pressure to the top of the piston.
- Port A is connected to the drain and the piston moves to the left, moving the vanes in the closed direction.
- the system stabilizes in a balanced state with high current as shown in Fig. 5e with port A closed, port B closed and the vanes positioned as a function of the applied current.
