  • Patent number: 11525395
    Abstract: As seen in a section parallel to a central axis of a shaft and including the center of gravity of a valve surface, with respect to the center of gravity, an end of the valve surface on the side of a first shaft direction is located on the side of a first direction in a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the shaft. As seen in a section orthogonal to the central axis of the shaft and including the center of gravity when the central axis of the shaft and a central axis of a through-hole coincide with each other, with respect to the center of gravity, an end of the valve surface on the side of a second direction in a direction along the valve seat surface is located on the side of the first direction in a direction orthogonal to the valve seat surface.

  • Patent number: 11428153
    Abstract: A turbocharger includes a turbine housing and a wastegate valve. The turbine housing defines two bypass passages. The wastegate valve opens and closes the two bypass passages. The turbine housing has a valve seat surface that is a flat surface that the wastegate valve contacts. The wastegate valve has a valve surface and a depression. The valve surface is a flat surface that faces the valve seat surface when the wastegate valve is in a closed state. The depression is depressed from the valve surface. The depression is located at a portion that faces a region located between openings of the two bypass passages when the wastegate valve is in the closed state.

The turbine housing has a valve seat surface that is a flat surface that the wastegate valve contacts. The wastegate valve opens and closes the bypass passage. The wastegate valve has a valve surface that is a flat surface facing the valve seat surface. When the geometric center of the shape of an outer edge of the valve surface is called the valve center and the geometric center of the shape of an opening of the bypass passage in the valve seat surface is called the opening center, the shortest distance from the valve center to a central axis of the shaft is longer than the shortest distance from the opening center to the central axis of the shaft.

  • Patent number: 10323518
    Abstract: A turbocharger impeller is provided with a hub portion with a plurality of vane portions extending outwardly thereof. The hub portion is substantially shaped as a truncated cone with a diameter that gradually increases along a rotation axis. The vane portions are formed on a surface of the hub portion and guide a fluid flowing along the rotation axis radially outward relative to the hub portion. Grooves are formed in and/or on surfaces of the vane portions along a direction of the fluid flowing radially outward during rotation of the impeller. Protruding crest portions are formed between adjacent grooves. Crest portions in a central region near the rotation axis are lower in height than crest portions in an outer region further away from the rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20180163731
    Abstract: A centrifugal compressor includes a rotary blade that is rotatable around an axis. The centrifugal compressor includes an inlet part that extends in the axial direction, that forms an inlet passage to introduce gas to the rotary blade, and that includes a circular cross section. The centrifugal compressor includes a projecting part that projects from a part of a circumferential wall surface of the inlet passage. A top end of the projecting part is located within an inflow region through which gas flows to the rotary blade. An inclined surface of the projecting part is formed to be inclined so that the top end of the projecting part is located downstream in a rotation direction of the rotary blade relative to a base end of the projecting part.

  • Patent number: 8334518
    Abstract: The invention presents a drinking water server having a configuration capable of suppressing generation of bacteria in a cold water tank, in a cold water pour tube, and in a pour valve. An opening part (2c) is formed in bottom side of a cold water tank (2), and a straight cold water pour tube (6) disposed horizontally in this opening part (2c) by way of a bent part (6b). An ultraviolet lamp (8) is disposed so as to reach up to a bottom part of the bent part (6b) by way of the opening part (2c) from inside of the cold water tank (2), so that ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet lamp (8) may be emitted uniformly both in the cold water tank (2) and in the duct of the cold water pour tube (6). As a valve body of a cold water pour valve (7), a diaphragm (71) for clogging the leading end of the cold water pour tube (6) is used, and dead angle of ultraviolet rays is eliminated.
