Abstract

A rotary machine includes: a rotary shaft supported by a bearing provided on a bearing base; and a casing housing the rotary shaft at least in part. The casing includes at least one support leg configured to support the casing on a base plate of a support structure member, and a support leg of the at least one support leg is supported on a support leg base provided on the base plate. The rotary machine further includes a height adjustment mechanism configured to adjust height of the casing, and the height adjustment mechanism includes an inclined surface of a support leg formed on the support leg, an inclined surface of a support leg base formed on the support leg base while facing the inclined surface of the support leg, and an actuator configured to move the support leg and the support leg base relative to each other.

Claims (35)

1. A rotary machine comprising:

a rotary shaft supported by a bearing provided on a bearing base; and

a casing housing the rotary shaft at least in part,

wherein, the casing includes at least one support leg configured to support the casing, and a support leg of the at least one support leg is supported by a support leg base,

the rotary machine further includes a height adjustment mechanism configured to adjust height of the casing, and

the height adjustment mechanism includes

an inclined surface of the support leg formed on the support leg;

an inclined surface of the support leg base formed on the support leg base while facing the inclined surface of a support leg; and

an actuator configured to move the support leg and the support leg base relative to each other,

wherein the inclined surface of the support leg and the inclined surface of the support leg base each include a first inclined surface having a first inclination angle and a second inclined surface having a second inclination angle,

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of one of the support leg and the support leg base are disposed while forming a V-shaped groove in combination,

the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the other of the support leg and the support leg base are disposed while forming a wedge shape complementary to the V-shaped groove,

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the support leg are continuously provided on the same inclined surface of the support leg, and

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the support leg base are continuously provided on the same inclined surface of the support leg base.

2. The rotary machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein a rail configured to define a direction of movement of the support leg base is provided.

3. The rotary machine according to claim 1 or 2 ,

wherein at least two of the support leg are provided in the casing, and

the at least two of the support legs are disposed with inclination directions of the inclined surfaces of the at least two of support legs being in line symmetry with respect to a symmetry axis.

4. The rotary machine as in any of claims 1 - 2 , wherein the inclined surface of the support leg and the inclined surface of a support leg base are provided to each of the at least one support leg, and wherein the height adjustment mechanism is provided on each of the at least one support leg each of which provided with the inclined surface of the support leg and the inclined surface of a support leg base.

5. A rotary machine comprising:

a base plate;

a bearing base provided on the base plate;

a rotary shaft supported by a bearing provided on the bearing base;

a casing housing the rotary shaft at least in part;

at least one support leg supporting the casing and including an inclined surface;

a support leg base provided on the base plate, supporting a support leg of the at least one support leg, and including an inclined surface formed while facing the inclined surface of the support leg; and

a height adjustment mechanism provided on the base plate and configured to adjust height of the casing,

wherein the height adjustment mechanism includes a drive mechanism configured to move the support leg and the support leg base relative to each other along a contact surface between the inclined surface of a support leg and the inclined surface of a support leg base,

wherein an inclined surface of the support leg and an inclined surface of the support leg base each include a first inclined surface having a first inclination angle and a second inclined surface having a second inclination angle,

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of one of the support leg and the support leg base are disposed while forming a V-shaped groove in combination,

the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the other of the support leg and the support leg base are disposed while forming a wedge shape complementary to the V-shaped groove,

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the support leg are continuously provided on the same inclined surface of the support leg, and

wherein the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface of the support leg base are continuously provided on the same inclined surface of the support leg base.

6. The rotary machine according to claim 3 , wherein the inclined surface of the support leg and the inclined surface of a support leg base are provided to each of the at least one support leg, and wherein the height adjustment mechanism is provided on each of the at least one support leg each of which provided with the inclined surface of the support leg and the inclined surface of a support leg base.
