Patent ID: 11231047

Abstract:
A turbocharger includes a turbine housing that is a cast component, a turbine scroll passage, a discharge port, and a discharge port defining member. The turbine scroll passage surrounds the circumference of a turbine chamber defined in the turbine housing and the circumference of the turbine chamber. Exhaust gas that has passed through the turbine chamber is conducted to the discharge port. The discharge port defining member constitutes a wall surface of the discharge port. The discharge port defining member includes a tubular main body wall and an outer circumferential edge. The main body wall constitutes a wall surface of the discharge port. The outer circumferential edge extends from the distal end of the main body wall and outward in the radial direction of the impeller shaft. The outer circumferential edge is fixed between the turbine housing and a downstream exhaust pipe, which is connected to the discharge port.
