Patent ID: 11092068

Abstract:
A variable geometry turbocharger includes: a turbine rotor; and a variable nozzle mechanism for adjusting a flow of exhaust gas to the turbine rotor from a scroll flow passage formed on a radially outer side of the turbine rotor. The variable nozzle mechanism includes: a nozzle vane disposed in an exhaust gas flow passage for guiding the exhaust gas to the turbine rotor from the scroll flow passage; a support wall forming a flow passage wall on a first side of the exhaust gas flow passage with respect to an axial direction of the turbine rotor and supporting the nozzle vane rotatably in a cantilever fashion; and a non-support wall forming a flow passage wall on a second side of the exhaust gas flow passage with respect to the axial direction. Of an end surface of the nozzle vane on a side of the non-support wall, an edge portion on a side of a pressure surface includes a non-support-wall side linear portion formed to have a linear shape.
