Abstract
A bearing device for a turbocharger according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a rotational shaft; a journal bearing device including a compressor-side journal bearing and a turbine-side journal bearing; a bearing housing including a compressor-side bearing supporting portion, a turbine-side bearing supporting portion, and a bearing housing main body; and a lubricant oil guide member extending along a circumference direction of the rotational shaft, at an outer circumference side of at least one of the compressor-side bearing supporting portion and the turbine-side bearing supporting portion. When a virtual line extending vertically downward from a rotational center CL of the rotational shaft is defined as a reference line VL in a state where an oil discharge port is orientated downward, the lubricant oil guide member extends from the reference line VL along the circumference direction toward each of one side and another side of the reference line VL over a predetermined angle θ about the rotational center CL of the rotational shaft.
