Turbine housing for a turbocharger of twin-scroll type

摘要

In a turbine housing 12 of a turbocharger 10A of a twin-scroll type, a scroll-shaped passage is separated into a front scroll passage 42 and a rear scroll passage 44 by a partition wall 40. A front wall 50 and a root part 40b of the partition wall 40 curve toward a front side to secure cross-sectional areas a1, a2, a3 . . . and b1, b2, b3 . . . . The scroll passages 42, 44 are formed to have equal cross-sectional areas, a tip part 40a of the partition wall 40 is arranged perpendicular to the turbine rotor blade 26 and the scroll passages 42, 44 are symmetrical near the tip part 40a about an axis X so as to eliminate the flow rate difference.

1. A turbine housing for a turbocharger of a twin-scroll type, comprising: a turbine shaft housed in the turbine housing;
a partition wall formed in the turbine housing; and two scroll passages divided by the partition wall and including a front scroll passage and a rear scroll passage formed on a front side and a rear side respectively in the turbine housing, wherein through the two scroll passages exhaust gas flows from an outside toward an inside in a radial direction and then flows in an axial direction of the turbine shaft to be discharged, wherein a rear wall of the rear scroll passage of the turbine housing is arranged perpendicular to an axis of the turbine shaft so as to form an inner surface of the rear scroll passage perpendicular to the axis of the turbine shaft, wherein a front wall of the front scroll passage curves toward the front side from the inside toward the outside in the radial direction so as to secure cross-sectional areas of the front scroll passage and the rear scroll passage, wherein a root part of the partition wall curves toward the front side in correspondence with the front wall so that the cross-sectional area of the front scroll passage equals to the cross-sectional area of the rear scroll passage, and wherein the cross-sectional areas of the front scroll passage and the rear scroll passage gradually decrease from the outside toward the inside in the radial direction and a tip part of the partition wall is arranged in a direction perpendicular to a leading edge of a turbine rotor blade so that the front scroll passage and the rear scroll passage are symmetrical near the tip part with respect to an axis of the tip part, wherein a diffusion space is formed between the tip part of the partition wall and the leading edge of the turbine rotor, wherein a vertical inner surface of the rear scroll passage perpendicular to the axis of the turbine shaft extends to a position beyond the tip part of the partition wall into said diffusion space; in the diffusion space an inner surface of the front scroll passage inclines toward a center of the turbine rotor blade; and in the diffusion space the vertical inner surface of the rear scroll passage deviates at said position beyond the tip part of the partition wall to incline toward a center of the turbine rotor blade in a direction of a flow of the exhaust gas so that the exhaust gas flowing in the front scroll passage and the exhaust gas flowing in the rear scroll passage flow symmetrically toward the center obliquely.
