A continuous variable trim compressor, comprising:
- a plurality of rotary vanes provided in a passage of air flowing toward a compressor wheel;
- and
- a rotating device configured to rotate the plurality of rotary vanes simultaneously,
- wherein as the plurality of rotary vanes is rotated simultaneously by the rotating device, a cross-sectional area of the passage of air flowing toward the compressor wheel is variable,
- wherein in order to ensure that the plurality of rotary vanes is arranged at a predetermined distance in a circle centered around a rotation shaft of the compressor wheel, each of the rotary vanes has an axle portion that is rotatably fixed to a circular fixation ring provided concentrically with the compressor wheel,
- wherein each of the rotary vanes comprises a vane portion and an interlocking block, the vane portion having a shape becoming wider as a distance increases from the axle portion on a first side of the axle portion, and the interlocking block operated in conjunction with the rotating device being integrally provided on a second side of the axle portion, and
- wherein the vane portion comprises a first edge portion extending in parallel and in a straight line from the axle portion, and a second edge portion extending obliquely and in a straight line from the axle portion, wherein the first edge portion extends with a predetermined constant thickness, and the second edge portion extends with a thickness that decreases as a distance from the axle portion increases.
