20100322781 | IMPELLER AND TURBOCHARGER - An impeller having a rotation axis, a radial direction, a backplate and a number of vanes which are connected to the backplate at a line of connection is provided. Each vane has an upstream side, a downstream side and an outer side. The downstream side of each vane has an edge portion which is located near the outer side. The vanes project radially over the backplate and the downstream side further includes a connecting portion connecting the edge portion to the backplate and including an angle with the radial direction. The connecting portion includes a convex rounded portion which is located near the line of connection. Moreover, a turbocharger having an inventive impeller is disclosed. | 12-23-2010 |

20140369840 | CONNECTOR - A connector for connecting an impeller to a shaft is provided. The connector is formed as a unitary body. The connector has a sleeve portion which is frictionally connected on a radially outer surface of a shaft-side hub extension of the impeller. The connector further has a threaded portion carrying a thread which screws onto a corresponding threaded portion of the shaft, such that the connector provides a rotationally fixed connection between the impeller and the shaft. The hub extension has a central recess, and a part of the connector is inserted into the recess. The frictional connection between the sleeve portion and the radially outer surface of the hub extension transmits, in use, substantially all of the torque between the shaft and the impeller. | 12-18-2014 |
20150044047 | TURBOCHARGER HAVING A CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING AN IMPELLER TO A SHAFT - A connector for connecting an impeller to a shaft is provided. The impeller has a shaft-side hub extension with a central recess. The impeller is formed of a material having a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than the material of the shaft. The connector is inserted into the recess to frictionally connect an outwardly facing surface of the connector with a radially inner surface of the hub extension. The connector has a threaded portion carrying a thread which screws onto a corresponding threaded portion of the shaft, such that the connector provides a rotationally fixed connection between the impeller and the shaft. The connector is formed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion which is greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material of the shaft. | 02-12-2015 |
20150275921 | IMPELLER SHAFT - A connected impeller and shaft is provided. The shaft has a first part which provides a threaded portion carrying a thread which screws onto a corresponding threaded portion of the impeller. The shaft also has a second part which provides an abutment surface for engaging a corresponding abutment surface of the impeller when the threaded portions are screwed together, thereby tightening the threads to provide a rotationally fixed connection between the impeller and the shaft. The first part is rotationally fixed relative to the second part at a joint. The threaded portion of the shaft is axially spaced a first distance from the abutment surface of the shaft. The threaded portion of the shaft is axially spaced from the joint by a second distance which is greater than the first distance. The threaded portion of the shaft and the joint are on the same side of the impeller. | 10-01-2015 |
