Abstract

A rotor hanging tool includes a beam extending in parallel to an axial direction above a rotor main body, a pair of ring support portions disposed at an interval in the axial direction, connected to the beam, and attachable to and detachable from a support ring, a pair of rotor support portions disposed at an interval in the axial direction, connected to the beam, attachable to and detachable from the rotor main body at positions different from the ring support portions in the axial direction, and respectively supporting the rotor main body from below, and a vertical position adjustment unit for adjusting a position of each of the rotor support portions in a vertical direction with respect to the beam.

Claims (15)

1. A rotor hanging tool for hanging a rotor provided with a rotor main body extending in an axial direction, a pair of annular support rings respectively disposed at a first end and a second end of the rotor main body at an interval in the axial direction and provided outside the rotor main body in a radial direction, and a pair of seal members disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the support ring in a state where a space is open between the seal member and an outer peripheral surface of the rotor main body, the rotor hanging tool comprising:

a beam extending in parallel to the axial direction above the rotor main body;

a pair of ring support portions disposed at an interval in the axial direction, connected to the beam, and attachable to and detachable from the support ring;

a pair of rotor support portions disposed at an interval in the axial direction, connected to the beam, attachable to and detachable from the rotor main body at positions different from the ring support portions in the axial direction, and respectively supporting the rotor main body from below; and

a vertical position adjustment unit configured to adjust a position of each of the rotor support portions in a vertical direction with respect to the beam.

2. The rotor hanging tool according to claim 1 , further comprising arms disposed at locations at intervals in the axial direction and extending from the beam to both sides in a width direction orthogonal to the axial direction.

3. The rotor hanging tool according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of ring support portions are disposed at positions respectively close to a middle portion of the rotor main body in the axial direction with respect to the pair of rotor support portions.

4. A rotor support jig comprising:

the rotor hanging tool according to claim 1 ; and

a rotor support base configured to support the rotor hung by the rotor hanging tool from below the rotor, wherein

the rotor support base comprises:

a first pair of support portions configured to support the rotor main body from below; and

a second pair of support portions configured to support the support ring from below, and

at least one pair of the first pair and the second pair is adjustable in height in a vertical direction thereof.

5. The rotor support jig according to claim 4 , wherein the rotor support base further includes a third support portion disposed at a position separated from the rotor in a width direction orthogonal to the axial direction and supporting the rotor hanging tool from below.
