Publication number: 20220275809Abstract: A rotary assembly is provided that may be operably connected to an engine. The rotary assembly may include a rotary device comprising a turbine wheel, a shaft connected to the turbine wheel, and a case that houses the shaft and the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel may receive exhaust gas from the engine which causes rotation of the turbine wheel and the shaft. The case may include an interior surface that defines a hollow volume in which the turbine wheel and the shaft are located. The case has a radial thickness extending from the interior surface to an exterior surface of the case. The case may include a lattice structure integrated within the radial thickness of the case. The lattice structure may include a repeating three-dimensional array of frame segments connected to one another at junctions and defining interstitial spaces between the frame segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2022Publication date: September 1, 2022Inventors: Louis Kobielski, Baris Uygun, Adam C.

Patent number: 11333159Abstract: A turbocharger device includes a case having a turbine portion and a bearing portion connected to and extending from the turbine portion. The turbine portion defines a cavity that houses a turbine wheel and receives exhaust gas that rotates the turbine wheel. The bearing portion houses a shaft connected to the turbine wheel. The bearing portion has a radial thickness between an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface defines a central channel. The bearing portion holds a bearing system that supports the shaft within the central channel. The bearing portion includes a lattice structure within the radial thickness. The lattice structure is a repeating three-dimensional array of frame segments connected to one another at junctions. The lattice structure engages a turbine back wall that is located between the turbine portion and the bearing portion. The lattice structure defines interstitial spaces between the frame segments.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Transportation IP Holdings, LLCInventors: Louis Kobielski, Baris Uygun, Adam C.
