Abstract

A fixing device fixes a relative position in a rotational direction of an outer member and an inner member of a stationary body of the rotary machine, and includes: a radial pin that is inserted into a through hole passing through the outer member in a radial direction of a rotary machine and having a stepped portion formed therein to have a larger diameter at a portion on an outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than at a portion on an inner side in the radial direction, that has a part on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine to be inserted into a concave portion of the inner member, and that has a flange portion on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fixing device that fixes a relative position in a rotational direction of an outer member and an inner member of a stationary body of a rotary machine, the fixing device comprising:
a radial pin that is inserted into a through hole passing through the outer member in a radial direction of the rotary machine and having a stepped portion formed therein to have a larger diameter at a portion on an outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than at a portion on an inner side in the radial direction, that includes a part on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine to be inserted into a concave portion of the inner member, and that includes a flange portion on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine, an outside diameter of the flange portion being larger than a diameter of the through hole at the portion on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine;
a seal unit that is inserted into the through hole, that is located farther on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than the radial pin, and that is in contact with an inner circumferential surface of the through hole along the radial direction of the rotary machine to seal the through hole; and
a cap member that is placed on the outer side of the seal unit in the radial direction of the rotary machine, and that is fixed to the outer member,
wherein the flange portion has an outside diameter smaller than a diameter of the through hole at the portion on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine, and contacts with the stepped portion.

2. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal unit includes
a sleeve that has a diameter of an inner circumferential surface changing along the radial direction of the rotary machine, and
a columnar insertion member that is inserted into the sleeve and is in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve, wherein
an outer circumferential surface of the sleeve is in contact with the through hole, and the inner circumferential surface of the sleeve and the insertion member are in contact with each other to seal the through hole.

3. The fixing device according to claim 2 , wherein
the sleeve includes the inner circumferential surface passing through the sleeve along the radial direction of the rotary machine, and
the radial pin includes an engagement portion to and from which a jig is attachable and detachable from the outer side in the radial direction being formed on an end face thereof on the outer side in the radial direction.

4. The fixing device according to claim 2 , wherein the sleeve is placed farther on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than the insertion member.

5. The fixing device according to claim 2 , comprising a liner placed between the sleeve and the radial pin, wherein
the liner has an outside diameter larger than an outside diameter of the radial pin and extends in a radial direction of the radial pin farther to an inner side than the outside diameter of the radial pin.

6. The fixing device according to claim 2 , comprising a plurality of the seal units, wherein
the seal units are placed serially in the radial direction of the rotary machine.

7. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the cap member includes a thread groove formed in an outer circumferential surface, and is screwed into a thread groove formed in the through hole to be fixed to the outer member.

8. The fixing device according to claim 1 , wherein the flange portion includes a seal ring placed on an end face thereof on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine, and the seal ring is in contact with the through hole and the flange portion.

9. A rotary machine comprising:
the fixing device according to claim 1 ;
the outer member;
the inner member; and
a rotary body placed farther on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than the inner member.

10. The rotary machine according to claim 9 , wherein
the outer member includes a convex portion that protrudes inward in the radial direction of the rotary machine at a part having the through hole formed therein,
a surface along a direction perpendicular to an axis of the rotary machine is formed in a rotational direction on the convex portion,
the inner member includes a groove portion at a part facing the convex portion, the groove portion being concave inward in the radial direction of the rotary machine and being in contact with the surface of the convex portion along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotary machine, and
a surface of the groove portion in contact with the surface of the convex portion along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotary machine is a surface along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotary machine.

11. A manufacturing method of a rotary machine for fixing a relative position in a rotational direction of an outer member and an inner member of a stationary body of a rotary machine and manufacturing the rotary machine, the manufacturing method comprising the steps of:
inserting, into a through hole passing through the outer member in a radial direction of the rotary machine and having a stepped portion formed therein to have a larger diameter at a portion on an outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine than at a portion on an inner side in the radial direction, a radial pin that includes a flange portion with an outside diameter larger than a diameter of the through hole at the portion on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine and smaller than a diameter of the through hole at the portion on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine, bringing the stepped portion and the flange portion into contact, and inserting an end of the radial pin on the inner side in the radial direction of the rotary machine into a concave portion of the inner member placed on the inner side of the outer member in the radial direction of the rotary machine;
inserting a seal unit into the through hole having the radial pin inserted therein; and
biasing the seal unit inserted into the through hole inward in the radial direction of the rotary machine, and bringing the seal unit into contact with an inner circumferential surface of the through hole along the radial direction of the rotary machine to seal the through hole.

12. The manufacturing method of a rotary machine according to claim 11 , comprising a step of increasing a diameter of a hole, formed in the outer member along the radial direction of the rotary machine, at a portion of the hole on the outer side in the radial direction of the rotary machine relative to a diameter of the hole to form the through hole.

13. A disassembling method of a rotary machine for disassembling a rotary machine having an inner member and an outer member of a stationary body fixed with a fixing device,
