Variable capacity turbine

摘要

There is provided a variable capacity turbine that is capable of suppressing separation from an outer peripheral face of an involute dividing wall at an inlet portion of an outer scroll, enhancing performance, and increasing a flow rate. The variable capacity turbine includes: a turbine housing having an involuted scroll formed therein; a turbine wheel rotatably provided on an inner periphery side of the scroll; the involute dividing wall mounted on the turbine housing to divide the scroll into an inner scroll and the outer scroll; and a flow regulating valve for opening and closing an introducing port formed at an inlet end of the outer scroll. The inlet portion of the outer scroll is formed to have a continuous and gentle throttle flow path from an upstream side to a downstream side.

1. A variable capacity turbine comprising:
a turbine housing having an involuted scroll formed therein; a turbine wheel rotatably provided on an inner periphery side of the scroll; an involute dividing wall mounted on the turbine housing to divide the scroll into an inner scroll and an outer scroll; and a flow regulating valve for opening and closing an introducing port formed at an inlet end of the outer scroll, wherein an inner peripheral face of the outer scroll at an inlet portion of the outer scroll or an outer peripheral face of the involute dividing wall is formed so that a flow path sectional area gradually reduces, an inner peripheral surface of the flow control valve is a flat face and the flow control valve is formed so that the flat face and a central axis of an inlet flange forming an inlet portion of the turbine housing become substantially parallel with each other when the valve is fully open, the involute dividing wall is formed of a tongue-shaped first dividing wall and a plate-shaped second dividing wall, and an angle formed by a line connecting an upstream tip end and a downstream tip end of the first dividing wall and the central axis is smaller than an angle formed by the line and a vertical line.
