Abstract

A rotary machine is provided with: a bearing that supports a rotary shaft of an impeller; a bearing support part that supports an outer circumference of the bearing; a key groove that is formed in the bearing and the bearing support part and extends along a rotary shaft line direction of the rotary shaft; and a key member that is inserted into the key groove. The bearing support part is provided with an outer regulating part that can contact one end part of the key member inside the key groove. An outer ring of the bearing is provided with an inner regulating part that can contact another end part of the key member inside the key groove. A distance between the outer regulating part and the inner regulating part is longer than a length of the key member in the rotary shaft line direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A rotary machine comprising:
a bearing supporting a rotary shaft of an impeller;
a bearing support part supporting an outer circumference of the bearing;
a key groove formed in the bearing and the bearing support part and extending along a rotary shaft line direction of the rotary shaft; and
a key member inserted into the key groove, wherein
the bearing includes an inner ring attached to the rotary shaft, an outer ring supported by the bearing support part, and a rolling element interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring,
the bearing support part includes an outer regulating part capable of contacting one end part of the key member inserted in the key groove in the rotary shaft line direction,
the outer ring has an inner regulating part capable of contacting another end part of the key member inserted in the key groove,
a distance between the outer regulating part and the inner regulating part is longer than a length of the key member in the rotary shaft line direction,
the key groove includes an inner groove provided in an outer circumference of the outer ring and an outer groove provided in an inner circumference of the bearing support part, and
an insertion guide part adjusting a circumferential shift of the inner groove and the outer groove disposed to face each other is provided at one or both of the end parts of the key member.

2. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion guide part is a tapered part.

3. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion guide part is provided at the end part on the inner regulating part side.

4. The rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein a region in which the key member fits is larger in the outer groove than in the inner groove.

5. A rotary machine comprising:
a bearing supporting a rotary shaft of an impeller;
a bearing support part supporting an outer circumference of the bearing;
a key groove formed in the bearing and the bearing support part and extending along a rotary shaft line direction of the rotary shaft; and
a key member inserted into the key groove, wherein
the bearing includes an inner ring attached to the rotary shaft, an outer ring supported by the bearing support part, and a rolling element interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring,
the bearing support part includes an outer regulating part capable of contacting one end part of the key member inserted in the key groove in the rotary shaft line direction,
the outer ring has an inner regulating part capable of contacting another end part of the key member inserted in the key groove,
a distance between the outer regulating part and the inner regulating part is longer than a length of the key member in the rotary shaft line direction,
the bearing support part includes a tube part externally fitted to the outer ring, an annular presser part contacting the outer ring in the tube part, and an elastic part pressing the presser part to the outer ring side in the rotary shaft line direction,
the presser part has a avoidance part avoiding the key member in the tube part, and
an avoidance region formed by an inner circumference of the tube part and the avoidance part has a clearance in a circumferential direction of the rotary shaft with respect to the key member.

6. The rotary machine according to claim 5 , wherein the avoidance region has an arcuate shape.

7. A rotary machine comprising:
a bearing supporting a rotary shaft of an impeller;
a bearing support part supporting an outer circumference of the bearing;
a key groove formed in the bearing and the bearing support part and extending along a rotary shaft line direction of the rotary shaft; and
a key member inserted into the key groove, wherein
the bearing includes an inner ring attached to the rotary shaft, an outer ring supported by the bearing support part, and a rolling element interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring,
the bearing support part includes an outer regulating part capable of contacting one end part of the key member inserted in the key groove in the rotary shaft line direction,
the outer ring has an inner regulating part capable of contacting another end part of the key member inserted in the key groove,
a distance between the outer regulating part and the inner regulating part is longer than a length of the key member in the rotary shaft line direction,
the key groove includes an inner groove provided in an outer circumference of the outer ring and an outer groove provided in an inner circumference of the bearing support part,
the outer groove has a wider width on a back side in a radial direction than the inner groove, and
the key member includes a fall prevention part fitting in the outer groove and projecting in a width direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the outer groove.
