Abstract
A rotating device includes a housing; a variable guide vane module provided on a surface of the housing; and a housing cover covering the variable guide vane module. The variable guide vane module includes a first module, which comprises a vane case that has a cylinder shape and that is provided in the housing, and further comprises a first link that is provided on the vane case; and a second module, which comprises a shroud case that is seated between the housing and the vane case, and further comprises a second link that is provided in the shroud case and is configured to be driven in accordance with driving of the first link. The variable guide vane module is configured to be separable into at least two modules, including the first module and the second module.
Claims18
A rotating device comprising:
- a housing;
- a variable guide vane module provided on a surface of the housing;
- and
- a housing cover coupled to the housing and covering the variable guide vane module,
- wherein the variable guide vane module is configured to be separable into at least a first module and a second module, and the first module and the second module are coupled to, or decoupled from, each other by a coupling,
- wherein the first module comprises a vane case that has a cylinder shape and that is provided in the housing, and a first link that is coupled on the vane case,
- wherein the second module comprises a shroud case that is seated between the housing and the vane case, and a second link that is provided in the shroud case and is configured to be driven in accordance with driving of the first link,
- wherein the housing cover is configured to expose an opening of the housing by being opened, such that the variable guide vane module being driven and a coupling state of the first link and the second link are identifiable through the opening of the housing from an outside of the rotating device, and
- wherein the first link comprises:
- a main shaft, which is disposed in the housing in a first direction that is perpendicular to an extending direction of the vane case,
- a main link arm, which is coupled to the main shaft and is elongated in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction so as to be configured to rotate in accordance with rotation of the main shaft,
- a control arm, which is connected to the main link arm and is elongated in the second direction, and
- a pivot located between an input end and an output end of the control arm, and wherein the pivot directly attaches a portion of the control arm to one end of the vane case and rotatably supports the control arm such that the control arm is configured to rotate around the pivot.
A variable guide vane module comprising:
- a first module, which comprises a vane case that has a cylinder shape, and a first link that is provided on the vane case;
- and
- a second module, which comprises a shroud case that is outside the vane case, and a second link that is provided in the shroud case and is configured to be driven in accordance with driving of the first link,
- wherein the variable guide vane module is configured to be separable into at least two modules, including the first module and the second module, and the first module is inserted the second module and the first module and the second module are coupled to, or decoupled from, each other by a coupling, and
- wherein the first link comprises:
- a main shaft, which is disposed in a first direction that is perpendicular to an extending direction of the vane case,
- a main link arm, which is coupled to the main shaft and is elongated in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction so as to be configured to rotate in accordance with rotation of the main shaft,
- a control arm, which is connected to the main link arm and is elongated in the second direction, and
- a pivot located between an input end and an output end of the control arm, and wherein the pivot directly attaches a portion of the control arm to one end of the vane case and rotatably supports the control arm such that the control arm is configured to rotate around the pivot.
