Abstract

A fixing bolt for a stationary member, the bolt extending through and fixing a plurality of stationary members in a multistage centrifugal compressor, includes a head portion, a columnar portion connected to the head portion, and a threaded portion connected to the columnar portion. The columnar portion includes one or more large diameter parts and a plurality of small diameter parts, the one or more large diameter parts each corresponding to a position of an antinode of a primary vibration mode of the fixing bolt for the stationary member, or to the position of the antinode of the primary vibration mode and positions of antinodes of a secondary vibration mode of the fixing bolt for the stationary member, and each of the plurality of small diameter parts having a diameter smaller than each of the large diameter parts.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fixing bolt for use in a multistage centrifugal compressor, the bolt extending through and fixing a plurality of stationary members in the multistage centrifugal compressor, the bolt comprising:
a head portion;
a columnar portion connected to the head portion; and
a threaded portion connected to the columnar portion, wherein
the columnar portion includes a plurality of large diameter parts and a plurality of small diameter parts, each of the plurality of small diameter parts having a diameter smaller than each of the large diameter parts, the plurality of large diameter parts including a first large diameter part and second large diameter parts, the first large diameter part corresponding to a position of an antinode of a primary vibration mode of the fixing bolt, the second large diameter parts each corresponding to positions of antinodes of a secondary vibration mode of the fixing bolt,
the plurality of small diameter parts includes first small diameter parts that are respectively disposed on both sides of the first large diameter part,
the second large diameter parts are respectively connected to the first small diameter parts.

2. The fixing bolt according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of small diameter parts further includes second small diameter parts that are respectively connected to the second large diameter parts, and
at least one of the second small diameter parts is connected to the head portion or the threaded portion.

3. The fixing bolt according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of small diameter parts further includes second small diameter parts that are respectively connected to the second large diameter parts,
the plurality of large diameter parts further includes at least one third large diameter part,
one side of the at least one third large diameter part is connected to at least one of the second small diameter parts, and
the other side of the at least one third large diameter part is connected to the head portion or the threaded portion.

4. The fixing bolt according to claim 1 , wherein the columnar portion further includes one or more vibration dampers on an outer periphery.

5. The fixing bolt according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first large diameter part and the first small diameter part includes one or more vibration dampers.

6. The fixing bolt according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the second large diameter parts includes one or more vibration dampers.

7. The fixing bolt according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the second small diameter parts includes one or more vibration dampers.

8. A multistage centrifugal compressor comprising:
a fixing bolt that extends through and fixes a plurality of stationary members in the multistage centrifugal compressor, wherein the fixing bolt comprises:
a head portion;
a columnar portion connected to the head portion; and
a threaded portion connected to the columnar portion, wherein
the columnar portion includes a plurality of large diameter parts and a plurality of small diameter parts, each of the plurality of small diameter parts having a diameter smaller than each of the large diameter parts, the plurality of large diameter parts including a first large diameter part and second large diameter parts, the first large diameter part corresponding to a position of an antinode of a primary vibration mode of the fixing bolt, the second large diameter parts each corresponding to positions of antinodes of a secondary vibration mode of the fixing bolt,
the plurality of small diameter parts includes first small diameter parts that are respectively disposed on both sides of the first large diameter part,
the second large diameter parts are respectively connected to the first small diameter parts.
