DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0054] In the figures, components that are identical or have the same functional effect are labelled with the same reference numerals.
[0055]
[0056] The turbocharger comprises a rotor 31, which is rotatably mounted in a bearing apparatus 33. The rotor 31 comprises a compressor wheel arrangement 35, the turbine wheel 37 and a rotor shaft 39, the rotor shaft connecting the turbine wheel 35 with the compressor wheel arrangement 35. The bearing apparatus 33 comprises a bearing housing 41, in which radial and axial bearings 43, 45 for the rotor shaft 31 are arranged, as well as an oil feed 47, in order to provide an oil film for the bearings 43, 45.
[0057] The compressor wheel arrangement 35 comprises the compressor wheel 49 with integrated shaft 51, the shaft extending behind the compressor wheel 49 and being shorter than the rotor shaft 39. The term “integrated shaft” refers to the fixed connection, here as a shaft-hub connection 63, between compressor wheel 49 and shaft 51. A cylindrical recess 53 extends along a longitudinal axis of the compressor wheel arrangement 35. The rotor shaft 39 runs from the turbine wheel 37 through the bearing apparatus 33 and the compressor wheel arrangement 35. The latter is arranged outside the bearing apparatus 33 and is non-rotatably connected with the rotor shaft 39.
[0058] An electric motor 55 is arranged between the compressor wheel 49 and the bearing apparatus 33, said electric motor comprising stators 57 with coils and a sleeve-shaped permanent magnet 15. The magnet 15 is arranged non-rotatably on the shaft 51 of the compressor wheel arrangement 35. It is enclosed by a sleeve-shaped casing 17 on the outside, and covered by a covering disc 19 at the ends. The stators 57 with coils are arranged radially around the sleeve-shaped magnet 15.
[0059] During the operation of the turbocharger, the rotation of the turbine wheel 37, which is powered by exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine, causes the rotation of the compressor wheel 49, with which the air fed into the internal combustion engine is compressed. The rotation of the turbine wheel 37 is transferred to the compressor wheel arrangement 35 via the rotor shaft 39. The rotation of the compressor wheel can additionally or alternatively be caused by the electric motor 55, in which changing fields in the stators 57 set the permanent magnet 15, and with it the shaft 51 and the whole rotor 31 in rotation.
[0060]
[0061] The shaft 51 is formed of a ferromagnetic material and is in particular steel and hollow. The compressor wheel 49 is made of aluminium or a material comprising aluminium. The compressor wheel 49 has a recess that goes right through it. The compressor wheel 49 has blades 59 on its front side, said blades being designed to compress air that is fed into the internal combustion engine. A hub projection 61 extends on the back of the compressor wheel 49, the inner diameter of which is widened in steps at the front. A section 7 at the end of the shaft 51 engages in the widened recess, so that a shaft-hub connection 63 is formed, which is designed to transfer the torque from the shaft 51 to the compressor wheel 49. Such a shaft-hub connection 63 can, for example, be formed as a press-fit connection or as a shrink fit connection, also called a press fit or shrink fit. With the press-fit connection, the engagement of the end region 7 in the recess accompanies a deformation, which leads to a force-fitting connection. With the shrink fitting, the components are assembled once heated, and the cooling leads to shrinking, and with it a force-fitting, fixed connection.
[0062] A sleeve-shaped permanent magnet 15 is arranged next to the shaft-hub connection 63 on the shaft 51, so that the facing end sides of the magnet 15 and the hub projection 61 of the compressor wheel 49 are adjacent. The magnet 15 and the compressor wheel 49 are thermally coupled. This can occur due to contact of the components or due to a thermal coupling agent. A covering disc 19 is arranged on the side of the permanently magnetic sleeve facing away from the compressor wheel 49. On the outside of the sleeve-shaped permanent magnet 15, a hollow cylindrical casing 17 is provided, which also extends over the covering disc 19 and the hub projection 61 of the compressor wheel 49. The casing 17 is formed as a sleeve, which has been pressed or shrunk. The sleeve can be metallic. Alternatively, it can be made of carbon.
[0063] Between the permanent magnet 15 and the adjacent surfaces of the components surrounding it, there is an adhesive layer 75, which not only forms a fixed connection, but also produces a thermal coupling, in particular to the compressor wheel 49 and to the shaft 15. As the permanent magnet 15 is usually made of a brittle material, its complete coverage with adhesive 75 and other components prevents damage at high speeds by the centrifugal forces acting on the magnet 15.
[0064] The described compressor wheel arrangement 35 is a module which is already balanced before assembly with the other components of the turbocharger, so that the observance of manufacturing tolerances is facilitated, in order to achieve smooth running.
[0065]
[0066] The casing 17 in this exemplary embodiment is a coil instead of a sleeve. The material for the coil is fibrous or strip-shaped. So that the coil does not slip off and fully covers the outside of the magnet 15, both the compressor wheel 49 and the covering disc 19 form walls 65 in sections, which restrict the axial expansion of the coil 17. The sections control the coil-shaped casing 17 with their position and width and height, so that the coil is radially flush with the compressor wheel 49 and the covering disc 19.
[0067] In the following, the manufacture of an exemplary embodiment of a compressor wheel arrangement 35 is described.
[0068]
[0069] The first component 1 comprises a first metal. In view of its later use as a compressor wheel 49, the first metal is advantageously aluminium or an aluminium alloy, so that the future compressor wheel 49 is lightweight and stable.
[0070] The first component 1 has a disc-shaped, rotationally symmetrical original form, which is referred to as a circular blank. An edge of the cross-section of the disc-shaped first component 1 rests on an external contour of the compressor wheel 49 that is later to be formed from said first component, but extends beyond it due to the removal of material in production that is still to follow. The first component 1 has a recess 3 with a circular cross section in the middle. The recess 3 extends along the rotational axis and is designed as a blind hole formed by drilling.
[0071]
[0072] The second component 5 is made of a second metal. In view of its later use as a shaft 51 of an electric motor, the second metal is preferably a ferromagnetic material, in particular steel. The second component 5 is combined with the first component 1 to form the blank.
[0073] The second component 5 is stick-shaped and has a cylindrical original form. An end region 7 of the second component 5, which is pressed into the recess 3 of the first component 1 during its assembly, is rounded on the front side and has external toothing, with longitudinally extending grooves 9. The grooves 9 extend into the area that is pressed into the recess 3. They can also extend beyond that. Advantageously, the grooves are not sharp-edged, rather they are rounded, so that no high notch stress occurs.
[0074] The end region 7 is designed in such a way that it can be pressed into the recess 3 of the first component 1, so that the end region 7 and the recess 3 form a press-fit connection. The bottom of the recess 3 formed as a blind hole forms a stop for the end region 7 that is pressed into it. The highest diameter of the end region 7 has an oversized fit in relation to the diameter of the recess 3. Due to the oversizing, the recess 3 is elastically widened and the end region 7 is compressed, which is further supported by the structure of the end region 7 with the grooves 9. A polygon-shaped cross section of the end region in an alternative exemplary embodiment would likewise have this assisting effect. Due to the deformations during widening and pressing, contact pressure is created, which, as a fixed, force-fitting press-fit connection between the end region 7 and the recess 3, is suited to transfer a torque from the first component 1 to the second component 5. Due to the press-fit connection, the shaft-hub connection of the future compressor wheel 49 and the shaft 51 is already formed before the completion of the compressor wheel 49 and the shaft 51, the shaft-hub connection being suited to transfer a torque form the shaft 51 to the compressor wheel 49. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, shrink-fitting is used for forming the shaft-hub connection.
[0075]
[0076] The blank 11 is a hybrid blank, made of the bonded first and second components 1, 5. The longitudinal axis 13 of the blank 11 is the symmetrical axis of the blank 11 and runs through the recess 3 and along the stick-shaped second component 5. In this exemplary embodiment, the grooves 9 of the external toothing extend over the end region 7 that is pressed into the recess 3, so that they are still visible under the pressed-on first component 1.
[0077] As the blank 11 is further processed in a milling machine, the tightly connected first and second components 1, 5 are processed together, so that the compressor wheel 49 and the shaft 51 are formed from the same blank 11, without releasing the shaft-hub connection already formed through the press-fit connection between the future shaft and the future compressor wheel in production. The shaft-hub connection is designed to transfer torque and power from the turning shaft to the compressor wheel in the completed module. The step of assembling the finished compressor wheel and finished shaft is thereby eliminated, so that dimensional variations accompanying assembly are avoided.
[0078] When pressing together the first and the second components 1, 5, asymmetries that can arise are largely eliminated by the subsequent removal of material to form the compressor wheel 49 with integrated shaft 51. As the steps of further processing the blank 11 can be done in the same clamping device, accumulating dimensional variations that would occur through several clamping steps are avoided.
[0079]
[0080]
[0081] In the further-processed blank, the press-fit connection 21 of the first and the second components 1, 5 forms a fixed shaft-hub connection between the shaft and the future compressor wheel. The second component 5 has been bored out, in order to form a hollow shaft. Further components of the electric motor have already been mounted. The shaft formed from the second component 5 is arranged in a hollow cylindrical magnet 15, which is placed in a casing 17 formed as a sleeve. On the front sides of the magnet 15, washers 19 are provided. The outer washer 19 serves as a covering disc. The washer 19 between the magnet 15 and the future compressor wheel forms a thermal coupling. Alternatively, instead of the washer 19, a thermal coupling can be made by contact, adhesive or thermally conductive paste.
[0082] The manufacturing steps still to follow comprise milling, in order to form the compressor wheel 49 with its blades 59 in the module, and the balancing of the module. In an alternative production, milling takes place, in order to form the compressor wheel 49 and its blades 59 in the module, before the assembly of the magnet, the casing and the washers.
[0083] The manufacture of a further exemplary embodiment of a compressor wheel device from a hybrid blank comprises lathe machining of a contour side and machining of the future shaft. The lathe machining of the back of the compressor wheel and the boring of the future compressor wheel with integrated shaft then follow. Adhesive is applied to the shaft and/or to the magnet, and the magnet and the covering disc are joined, the latter in particular by thermal joining. The casing is assembled, for example by carbon pressing or winding. After the hardening of the adhesive and the assembly, the blades of the compressor wheel are milled and the assembled rotor is balanced with the compressor wheel arrangement. Washing then takes place. Alternatively, the step in which the blades of the compressor wheel are milled is brought forward before the assembly of the further components, that is before the application of the adhesive.
[0084]
[0085] The compressor wheel arrangement comprises a two-part compressor wheel 49 with a blade section 67 and a hub projection 61, which are separate components. They are made of aluminium, or an alloy comprising aluminium. The blade section 67 is the front region of the compressor wheel 49 with the blades 59. On the back side of this is provided the hub projection 61. The recess 3 of the hub projection 61 has a stepped cross-sectional widening. Both the blade section 67 and the hub projection 61 have an axial recess going all the way through them for the rotor shaft 39, which connects the blade section 67 and the hub projection 61 in the mounted compressor wheel arrangement 35, so that the blade section 67 and the hub projection 61 are thermally coupled. This can be done by contact between the components 67, 61 or with an adhesive or a thermally conductive paste between the components 67, 61.
[0086] The compressor wheel arrangement 35 further comprises a hollow shaft 51, a sleeve-shaped magnet 15, a covering disc 19 and a casing 17 formed as a carbon sleeve. Alternatively, the casing 17 can be formed as a coil. The shaft 51 has an end region 7, which engages in the recess 3 of the hub projection 61 and abuts the step, so that a shaft-hub connection is formed. The connection can be, for example, a press-fit connection or a shrink-fit connection, as described in relation to the previous exemplary embodiments. The sleeve-shaped magnet 15 and the covering disc 19 that is facing away from the compressor wheel 49 on the end face are arranged between the sleeve-shaped casing 17 and the shaft 51.
[0087] Besides the fact that the compressor wheel 49 is formed in two parts and its components 67, 61 can be separately manufactured, the compressor wheel arrangement 35 can be manufactured similarly to the exemplary embodiments described earlier. The production steps previously described in relation to the compressor wheel, however, only concern the hub projection 61 in this exemplary embodiment. The hybrid blank, from which the hub projection 61 with integrated shaft 51 is manufactured, has, in comparison to the previously described manufacture, a smaller circular blank, from which only the hub projection 61 is produced. The blade section 67 is made separately, also comprising the milling of the blades 59, and is only rotationally joined to the hub projection 61 with integrated shaft 51 and the components arranged on it during the assembly on the rotor shaft 39.
[0088] This exemplary embodiment makes the magnetisation and the joining of the magnet 15 easier, due to the smaller dimensions of the hub projection 61 with integrated shaft 51. However, due to the additional components of the two-part compressor wheel 49, it can be more difficult to adhere to manufacturing tolerances. The manufacture becomes more complicated, in particular in the assembly of the turbocharger. The balancing is also more complicated than with the one-part compressor wheel 49 that has been described in previous exemplary embodiments.
[0089]
[0090] The one-part compressor wheel 49 made of aluminium or an alloy comprising aluminium tapers to a base 71 on the back, the diameter of which corresponds to that of the magnet 15. The hollow shaft 51 is connected to the base 71 by a friction-welded connection 73. The sleeve-shaped magnet 15 and the front covering disc 19 are arranged on the shaft 51 and are surrounded on the outside by the casing 17, which extends beyond the base 71. The casing 17 can be formed as a sleeve shape or as a coil. Between the magnet 15 and the other components, in particular the base of the compressor wheel, there is an adhesive layer 75 which serves as a thermal coupling agent.
[0091] The manufacture of this exemplary embodiment occurs similarly to what has been described previously; however, the blank for the machining manufacture is formed by friction welding between a first and second component. Lathe machining of the blank then takes place, both for the round blank as the first component and also for the second component connected to it. An adhesive 75 is then applied to the shaft 51 and the sleeve-shaped magnet 15 is attached. The covering disc 19 is attached, for example by thermal joining. Then the casing 17, which is formed as a sleeve, is attached. After the adhesive 75 has hardened, the blades 59 of the compressor wheel 49 are milled. The balancing takes place after the assembly of the compressor wheel arrangement 35 and rotor shaft 39 Then the washing takes place.
