  • Patent number: 11946377
    Abstract: A variable nozzle device 20 for a variable geometry turbocharger includes: a nozzle mount 21; a nozzle plate 22 disposed so as to face the nozzle mount, the nozzle plate forming a nozzle flow passage 4 having an annular shape between the nozzle plate 22 and the nozzle mount 21; and a plurality of variable nozzle vanes 6 disposed at a predetermined interval in a circumferential direction of the nozzle flow passage 4 so as to be individually rotatable about a pivot axis O2. The nozzle plate 22 includes a first surface 33 facing the nozzle mount 21, a second surface 34 opposite to the first surface 33, and at least one through hole 36 formed through the first surface 33 and the second surface 35.

  • Publication number: 20240076996
    Abstract: A variable geometry turbine includes: a turbine rotor; a scroll passage forming part which forms a scroll passage; an exhaust gas passage forming part which forms an exhaust gas passage for introducing an exhaust gas from the scroll passage to the turbine rotor; and a variable nozzle unit including a plurality of nozzle vanes disposed in the exhaust gas passage and configured to be rotatable about respective rotation centers. The exhaust gas passage forming part includes: a first plate member having an annular first plate part; and a second plate member having an annular second plate part which defines the exhaust gas passage between the first plate part and the second plate part and is disposed closer to a turbine outlet than the first plate part in an axial direction of the turbine rotor.

  • Patent number: 10995629
    Abstract: A variable nozzle mechanism in which a nozzle mount has a first surface which has a minimum clearance in a direction of an axis with respect to a lever side facing surface in an opposing region facing the lever side facing surface in the direction of the axis, and a second surface which is disposed adjacent to the first surface in a circumferential direction of the nozzle mount and has a clearance in the direction of the axis with respect to the lever side facing surface larger than the clearance in the direction of the axis between the first surface and the lever side facing surface.
