Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A supporting platform which supports a rotating machine on a base, includes: a pair of supporting bodies which is provided on the base to be separated from each other in a horizontal direction; a supporting column which is provided on the supporting body, extends upward in a vertical direction, and supports a supporting target portion provided in the rotating machine; an outer adjustment member which supports the supporting body on the base and adjusts a height of the supporting body with respect to the base; and an inner adjustment member which is disposed inside the outer adjustment member in a separation direction of the pair of supporting bodies, supports the supporting body on the base, and adjusts the height of the supporting body with respect to the base.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A supporting platform which supports a rotating machine on a base, comprising: a pair of supporting bodies which is provided on the base to be separated from each other in a horizontal direction; a supporting column which is provided on each supporting body of the pair of supporting bodies, extends upward in a vertical direction, and supports a supporting target portion provided in the rotating machine; an outer adjustment member which supports each supporting body on the base and adjusts a height of each supporting body with respect to the base; and an inner adjustment member which is disposed inside the outer adjustment member in a separation direction of the pair of supporting bodies, supports each supporting body on the base, and adjusts the height of each supporting body with respect to the base, wherein each supporting body includes an upper plate section to which the supporting column is fixed, a lower plate section which is provided below the upper plate section in the vertical direction at an interval, and a connection section which is provided at a position overlapping the supporting column when viewed in the vertical direction and connects the upper plate section and the lower plate section to each other, wherein the outer adjustment member is disposed outside the connection section in the separation direction, and wherein the inner adjustment member is disposed inside the connection section in the separation direction. 2. The supporting platform according to claim 1 , wherein the inner adjustment member includes an inner operating portion for adjusting the height of each supporting body, and wherein the inner operating portion is provided above the upper plate section in the vertical direction. 3. The supporting platform according to claim 2 , wherein the inner adjustment member is provided at a position where a position of the rotating machine in an axial direction in which a rotating shaft extends overlaps the supporting column. 4. The supporting platform according to claim 3 , wherein each supporting body includes a first square tubular member having a rectangular tubular shape and a second square tubular member which is disposed inside the first square tubular member in the separation direction and has a rectangular tubular shape, wherein the connection section includes mutually facing side wall portions of the first square tubular member and the second square tubular member, wherein the outer adjustment member supports the first square tubular member, and wherein the inner adjustment member supports the second square tubular member. 5. The supporting platform according to claim 2 , wherein each supporting body includes a first square tubular member having a rectangular tubular shape and a second square tubular member which is disposed inside the first square tubular member in the separation direction and has a rectangular tubular shape, wherein the connection section includes mutually facing side wall portions of the first square tubular member and the second square tubular member, wherein the outer adjustment member supports the first square tubular member, and wherein the inner adjustment member supports the second square tubular member. 6. The supporting platform according to claim 1 , wherein the inner adjustment member is provided at a position where a position of the rotating machine in an axial direction in which a rotating shaft extends overlaps the supporting column. 7. The supporting platform according to claim 1 , wherein each supporting body includes a first square tubular member having a rectangular tubular shape and a second square tubular member which is disposed inside the first square tubular member in the separation direction and has a rectangular tubular shape, wherein the connection section includes mutually facing side wall portions of the first square tubular member and the second square tubular member, wherein the outer adjustment member supports the first square tubular member, and wherein the inner adjustment member supports the second square tubular member. 8. The supporting platform according to claim 7 , wherein the outer adjustment member includes an outer operating portion for adjusting the height of each supporting body, wherein the first square tubular member includes an opening portion which is formed on the side wall portion facing the outside in the separation direction, and wherein the outer operating portion is provided inside the first square tubular member which communicates with the outside via the opening portion. 9. The supporting platform according to claim 1 , wherein a portion between the lower plate section and the base is filled with a curable filler. 10. A rotating machine unit, comprising: the supporting platform according to claim 1 ; and a rotating machine having a supporting target portion which is supported on a supporting column of the supporting platform. 11. A method for manufacturing the rotating machine unit according to claim 10 , comprising: a step of installing the rotating machine on the supporting column; a step of adjusting a height position of the upper plate section with respect to the base in the vertical direction by the outer adjustment member and the inner adjustment member; a step of fixing a position of the supporting platform with respect to the base by an anchor member; and a step of filling a portion between the lower plate section and the base with a curable filler after the position of the supporting platform is fixed.
