Abstract: A compressor housing for a turbocharger dividably composed of a plurality of pieces including a scroll piece, and a shroud piece. The scroll piece and the shroud piece are assembled to each other by press-fitting a press-fitting portion of the shroud piece into a press-fitted portion of the scroll piece. Pressure-contacting portions that are provided on either one of the scroll piece and the shroud piece are pressure-contacted with pressure-contacted portions that are provided on the other one of the scroll piece and the shroud piece, respectively. As a result, the pressure-contacting portions plastically flow to form seal parts for sealing the scroll piece and the shroud piece, respectively.

Abstract: A turbocharger includes a compressor housing including a scroll chamber, and a seal plate assembled to the compressor housing. The compressor housing and the seal plate define an intake passage. The seal plate includes a plate-side connecting portion in contact with the compressor housing. The radius of curvature of a wall surface of the scroll chamber of the compressor housing, in a section including a compressor rotational axis, is increased in a direction toward an outlet located on the downstream side of the scroll chamber in an intake air flow direction. The plate-side connecting portion protrudes in a direction along the compressor rotational axis. The radius of curvature of an inner surface of the seal plate continuous with the scroll chamber of the intake passage, in the section including the compressor rotational axis, is increased in the direction toward the outlet of the scroll chamber.

Abstract: A bearing structure of a turbocharger includes a rotor shaft, a ball bearing, and a housing. An inner ring of the ball bearing has the rotor shaft inserted therein. The oil film damper is formed between the inner ring and an outer peripheral surface of the rotor shaft. The inner ring rotates with rotation of the rotor shaft via the oil film damper. An oil discharge path for scattering oil discharged from the oil film damper radially outside, is provided at least either on one end surface of the inner ring in an axial direction or on an opposing surface opposed to the inner ring, of a collar. The oil discharge path is formed of a groove that is arranged in a manner to be gradually apart from the oil film damper in the axial direction as going radially outside.

Abstract: In a compressor housing, a scroll piece includes a cylindrical intake port forming section, a scroll wall surface forming section that forms an air-intake side wall surface of a discharge scroll chamber, and a scroll outer circumferential section that covers an outer circumferential side of the discharge scroll chamber. A shroud piece of the housing includes a cylindrical shroud press fitted section press fitted into the intake port forming section, and a shroud wall surface forming section that forms an inner circumferential side wall surface of the discharge scroll chamber and also forms a shroud surface that opposes an impeller and a diffuser surface. An outer circumferential annular piece of the housing includes an outer circumferential annular press fitted section press fitted inside the scroll outer circumferential section, and an outer circumferential annular wall surface forming section that forms an outer circumferential side wall surface of the discharge scroll chamber.
