Description
- The present invention relates to a turbomachinery.
- This application is a Continuation of International Application No. PCT/JP2012/054077, filed on Feb. 21, 2012, claiming priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-34519, filed Feb. 21, 2011, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in their entity.
- A turbomachinery such as a turbocompressor or a supercharger is provided with an impeller that is rotatively driven by rotative power that is transmitted from a shaft.
- In this kind of turbomachinery, for example, a male screw and a female screw are formed on an impeller and a shaft as shown in Patent Document 1 and
Patent Document 2. The impeller and the shaft are then fastened by screwing together of the male screw and the female screw. -

- [Patent Document 2] Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Application, First Publication No. H05-57450
- However, in a constitution in which a female screw and a male screw are formed on the impeller and the shaft as shown in Patent Document 1 and
Patent Document 2, when fastening the impeller and the shaft, it is necessary to rotatively move the impeller with respect to the shaft. - That is to say, when attaching the impeller to the shaft, it is necessary, while rotatively moving the impeller, to gradually bring it close to the shaft.
- For this reason, the movement amount of the impeller when attaching the impeller to the shaft is a great deal more than the case of attaching the impeller to the shaft without rotatively moving it. Accordingly, in the methods of Patent Document 1 and
Patent Document 2, the amount of work required when fastening the impeller and the shaft ends up increasing. - Also, in order to prevent the impeller and the shaft from shifting in the rotation direction, it is preferable for sufficient frictional force to exist between the impeller and the shaft. For that reason, during attachment of the impeller to the shaft, after the impeller makes contact with the seating surface of the shaft, it is preferable to push the impeller further to the shaft side, and cause the impeller to undergo elastic deformation.
- However, after the impeller makes contact with the seating surface, the frictional resistance increases due to the frictional force that works between the impeller and the seating surface, and so the amount of work for pushing in the impeller to the shaft side increases.
- On the other hand, firmly fastening the impeller and the shaft with hardly no rotational movement of the impeller with respect to the shaft is generally performed by using a tension bolt.
- However, in the case of fastening the impeller and the shaft using a tension bolt, complex and large equipment such as a hydraulic tensioner is separately required.

base portion 1 c, as shown inFIG. 1 , a housing space of the two-way screw 3 is provided in communication with thefitting hole 1 e. A screw thread is formed in the inner wall surface of this housing space and constituted so as to be a female thread that a first end side of the two-way screw 3 can be screwed together with. - Moreover, in the
base portion 1 c, an exposure hole if that exposes a first end face of the two-way screw 3 is formed from a distal end of thecompressor impeller 1 a. Note that theexposure hole 1 f has a diameter that allows the passing through of atool 10 that rotates the two-way screw 3 described later (refer toFIG. 2 ), and is provided along the rotation axis L of thecompressor impeller 1 a. - Note, as shown in
FIG. 1 , thefitting hole 1 e and the exposure hole if sandwich the housing space of the two-way screw 3, and are arranged so as to be concentric with the rotation axis L of thecompressor impeller 1 a. - The
compressor impeller 1 a is formed for example with a titanium alloy, an aluminum alloy, or stainless steel, depending on the gas to be compressed. - The
compressor housing 1 b forms the outer shape of the compressor 1, has a gas flow passage in the interior, and houses thecompressor impeller 1 a in the interior. - In this
compressor housing 1 b, as shown inFIG. 1 , anintake opening 1 g that intakes gas, adiffuser 1 h that decelerates and compresses the gas that has been accelerated by thecompressor impeller 1 a, ascroll flow passage 1 i that serves as the flow passage of the compressed gas, and a discharge opening that is not illustrated from which the compressed gas is discharged. - The
shaft 2 is a member for transmitting power generated by thedrive unit 4 as rotative power to thecompressor impeller 1 a, and is connected with thedrive unit 4. - At a first end of the
shaft 2, afitting projection 2 a is provided for fitting in thefitting hole 1 e provided in thebase portion 1 c of thecompressor impeller 1 a, and by thefitting projection 2 a being fitted in thefitting hole 1 e, thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 are positioned so as to be coaxial. - Also, as shown in
FIG. 1 , a female screw that a second end side of the two-way screw 3 is capable of screwing together with is provided in thefitting projection 2 a. - The
shaft 2 is formed for example with a steel material (for example, a steel material including chrome and molybdenum). - The two-
way screw 3 is a member for fastening thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. The first end side of this two-way screw 3 serves as animpeller screwing region 3 a that is screwed together with thecompressor impeller 1 a, while the second end side serves as ashaft screwing region 3 b that is screwed together with theshaft 2. - The turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on the
impeller screwing region 3 a and the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on theimpeller screwing region 3 b are opposite directions. - For this reason, when the two-
way screw 3 is turned in one direction, thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 are draw close along the rotation axis L, and when the two-way screw 3 is reversed, thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 separate along the rotation axis L. - Note that the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on the
impeller screwing region 3 a is set to a direction in which the fastening power between the two-way screw 3 and thecompressor impeller 1 a increases due to a reactive force when thecompressor impeller 1 a is rotatively driven. - Also, in the first end face of the two-way screw 3 (a face on the
compressor impeller 1 a side), afitting hole 3 c for fitting atool 10 for rotating the two-way screw 3 is provided. The shape of thisfitting hole 3 a is set to a shape, viewed from the rotation axis L direction, whose center of gravity is on the rotation axis L (for example, a hexagonal shape). In this way, by making the shape of thefitting hole 3 c have a shape whose center of gravity is on the rotation axis L, when thecompressor impeller 1 a is rotated, it is possible to keep the weight distribution of thecompressor impeller 1 a that is centered on the rotation axis L uniform, and it is possible to rotate thecompressor impeller 1 a in a stable manner. - Note that the first end face of the two-
way screw 3 is exposed by theexposure hole 1 f that is provided in thebase portion 1 c of thecompressor impeller 1 a as described above. For this reason, thefitting hole 3 c that is formed in the first end face of the two-way screw 3 is exposed from a first end of thecompressor impeller 1 a via theexposure hole 1 f. - Note that as long as the rigidity required for fastening of the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 is ensured, it is preferable for the two-way screw 3 to be formed with a material having a higher thermal conductivity than thecompressor impeller 1 a. - Specifically, in the case of for example the
compressor impeller 1 a being formed with a titanium alloy, it is conceivable for the two-way screw 3 to be formed with a steel material. - In this way, by forming the two-
way screw 3 with a material having a higher thermal conductivity than thecompressor impeller 1 a, it is possible to promote heat transfer from thecompressor impeller 1 a, which has risen in temperature due to the compression of gas, to theshaft 2, and it is possible to promptly transfer the heat to lubricating oil that is to be cooled by a cooling mechanism not shown. - Also, in the case of the two-
way screw 3 being formed with a steel material, and thecompressor impeller 1 a being formed with a titanium alloy, the thermal expansion of the two-way screw 3 becomes greater than thecompressor impeller 1 a. For that reason, while there is a possibility of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 separating when the fastening portion becomes a high temperature, when it is possible to reduce the temperature change of the fastening portion by cooling through heat transfer enhancement due to the two-way screw 3 as described above, it is possible to reduce the thermal expansion and so possible to prevent separation of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. For this reason, it is possible to inhibit loosening of the fastening power between for example thecompressor impeller 1 a and the two-way screw 3. - Note that in the present embodiment, the two-
way screw 3 and thecompressor impeller 1 a are screwed together, and the two-way screw 3 and theshaft 2 are screwed together. For this reason, the contact surface between the two-way screw 3 and the compressor impeller and the contact surface area between the two-way screw 3 and theshaft 2 broaden, the heat transmission area increases, and it is possible to further promote the aforementioned heat transfer. - The
drive unit 4 is a member for generating power for rotatively driving thecompressor impeller 1 a and transmitting it to theshaft 2, and for example, is constituted to include a motor and gears and the like. - During assembly of the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment having this kind of constitution, when fastening the
compressor impeller 1 a and the shaft, first theimpeller screwing region 3 a of the two-way screw 3 is slightly screwed together with the female screw that is provided in thecompressor impeller 1 a, and theshaft screwing region 3 b is slightly screwed together with the female screw that is provided in theshaft 2. Alternatively, theshaft screwing region 3 b is slightly screwed together with the female screw that is provided in theshaft 2, and theimpeller screwing region 3 a is slightly screwed together with the female screw that is provided in thecompressor impeller 1 a. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 2 , the tool 10 (hex wrench) is inserted in theexposure hole 1 f that is provided in thebase portion 1 c of thecompressor impeller 1 a, and a distal end of thetool 10 is fitted in thefitting hole 3 c that is exposed from the first end of thecompressor impeller 1 a via theexposure hole 1 f. Then, by rotating thetool 10, the two-way screw 3 is rotated. - As a result, the
compressor impeller 1 a moves in a straight line along the rotation axis L without undergoing rotative movement with respect to theshaft 2. By rotating the two-way screw 3 until thefitting projection 2 a is fitted in thefitting hole 1 e and thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 are in close contact, thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 are fastened. - In the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 are fastened by the two-way screw 3, in which the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on thecompressor impeller 1 a side and the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on theshaft 2 side are opposite directions. - For this reason, by rotating the two-
way screw 3, it is possible to cause thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 to move in a straight line along the rotation axis L direction without thecompressor impeller 1 a undergoing rotative movement with respect to theshaft 2. That is to say, according to the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, compared to the case of fastening thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 while rotatively moving thecompressor impeller 1 a with respect to theshaft 2, it is possible to reduce the amount of movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a, and it is possible to cut down the amount of work during fastening. - Also, in the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, since it is possible to fasten the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 without applying great tension to the two-way screw 3, there is no need for an additional complicated and large equipment such as a hydraulic tensioner. - Accordingly, with the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to cut down the work amount when fastening the
compressor impeller 1 a to theshaft 2 without additionally requiring a complicated and large device. - Also, in the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on the
impeller screwing region 3 a is set to a direction in which the fastening power between the two-way screw 3 and thecompressor impeller 1 a increases due to a reactive force when thecompressor impeller 1 a is rotatively driven. - For this reason, with the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to inhibit loosening of the fastening power between the
compressor impeller 1 a and the two-way screw 3 during operation. - Also, in the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, the
fitting hole 3 c that is capable of fitting thetool 10 that rotates the two-way screw 3 is provided in the end face of the two-way screw 3 on thecompressor impeller 1 a side, and theexposure hole 1 f that exposes thefitting hole 3 c is provided in thecompressor impeller 1 a. - For this reason, by inserting the
tool 10 through theexposure hole 1 f, it is possible to easily turn the two-way screw 3. - Also, in the turbocompressor S1 of the present embodiment, in order to fasten the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 by the two-way screw 3, there is no need to extend theshaft 2 until the distal end of thecompressor impeller 1 a in the manner of a conventional turbocompressor in order to fix thecompressor impeller 1 a. As a result, theshaft 2 becomes short, and so it is possible to improve the rigidity of theshaft 2. - Next, a second embodiment of the present invention shall be described. Note that in the description of the second embodiment, for those portions that are the same as in the aforementioned first embodiment, descriptions thereof shall be omitted or simplified.

FIG. 3A andFIG. 3B are drawings that show the outline constitution of the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment.FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view, whileFIG. 3B is a view on arrow of theshaft 2 seen from the rotation axis L direction. - As shown in these drawings, the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment is, with the rotation axis L direction serving as the lengthwise direction, equipped with a fitting hole that is provided at a position offset from the rotation axis L of the
compressor impeller 1 a, and apin member 5 to be fitted in the fitting hole that is provided at a position offset from the rotation axis L of theshaft 2. - The
pin member 5 is a member for inhibiting rotational movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a with respect to theshaft 2, and functions as a rotation inhibiting member of the present invention. - In the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 3B , a plurality of thepin members 5 are arranged at equally spaced intervals centered on the rotation axis L of thecompressor impeller 1 a. - According to the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment having this kind of constitution, when attaching the
compressor impeller 1 a to theshaft 2 by thepin members 5, it is possible to inhibit rotational movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a, and it is possible to fasten thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 in a stable manner. - Also, according to the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment that has this kind of constitution, the
pin members 5 function as reinforcing members at the joining location of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. For this reason, it is possible to increase the strength of the joining location of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. - Note that when fastening the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2, thepin members 5 are fitted in either one of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2, and then fitted in the other by bringing thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 together by rotation of the two-way screw 3. - For this reason, it is not possible to arrange the
pin members 5 in a conventional fastening method that rotationally moves thecompressor impeller 1 a with respect to theshaft 2 when fastening thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. - That is to say, the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment realizes an improvement in strength at the joining location of the
compressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 that cannot be realized in a turbocompressor that uses the conventional fastening method of rotatively moving thecompressor impeller 1 a with respect to theshaft 2. - Also, in the turbocompressor S2 of the present embodiment, a plurality of the
pin members 5 are provided at equally spaced intervals centered on the rotation axis L of thecompressor impeller 1 a. - For that reason, when rotatively driving the
compressor impeller 1 a, it is possible to uniformly maintain the weight distribution centered on the rotation axis L, and so it is possible to rotate thecompressor impeller 1 a in a stable manner. - Next, a third embodiment of the present invention shall be described. Note that in the description of the third embodiment, for those portions that are the same as in the aforementioned first embodiment, descriptions thereof shall be omitted or simplified.

FIG. 4A andFIG. 4B are drawings that show the outline constitution of the turbocompressor S3 of the present embodiment.FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view, whileFIG. 4B is a view on arrow of theshaft 2 seen from the direction of the rotation axis L. - As shown in these drawings, the turbocompressor S3 of the present embodiment is equipped with a
fitting projection 7 of which the shape seen from the rotation axis L direction of thecompressor impeller 1 a is an approximately triangular shape having rounded apices (a shape deviating from the rotation body shape) whose center of gravity is on the rotation axis L, and afitting hole 6 that thefitting projection 7 is fitted into. - By fitting together, this kind of
fitting projection 7 andfitting hole 6 function as a rotation inhibiting member of the present invention, by inhibiting rotational movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a with respect to theshaft 2. - Note that in the turbocompressor S3 of the present embodiment, the
fitting projection 7 is provided at theshaft 2, while thefitting hole 6 is provided in thecompressor impeller 1 a. - Note that it is also possible to adopt a constitution that conversely provides the
fitting projection 7 in thecompressor impeller 1 a, and provides thefitting hole 6 in theshaft 2. - According to the turbocompressor S3 of the present embodiment having this kind of constitution, when attaching the
compressor impeller 1 a to theshaft 2 by thefitting projection 7 and thefitting hole 6, it is possible to inhibit rotational movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a, and so it is possible to fasten thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 in a stable manner. - Also, in the turbocompressor S3 of the present embodiment, the
fitting projection 7 has a shape whose center of gravity is on the rotation axis L. - For this reason, when rotationally driving the
compressor impeller 1 a, it is possible to uniformly maintain the weight distribution centered on the rotation axis L, and so it is possible to rotate thecompressor impeller 1 a in a stable manner. - Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention shall be described. Note that in the description of the fourth embodiment, for those portions that are the same as in the aforementioned first embodiment, descriptions thereof shall be omitted or simplified.
-
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view that shows the outline constitution of the turbocompressor S4 of the present embodiment. - As shown in this drawing, the turbocompressor S4 of the present embodiment is provided with a
lock bolt 8 that abuts the two-way screw 3 from the rotation axis L direction of thecompressor impeller 1 a (left side of the page). Note that the turning direction of the screw thread that is formed on theimpeller screwing region 3 a of the two-way screw 3 and the turning direction of the screw thread that thelock bolt 8 is provided with are the same directions. - Note that in the
lock bolt 8 there is provided a tool hole (for example with a hexagonal shape) that penetrates in the rotation axis L direction and that is used when fastening or loosening thelock bolt 8. The inscribed circle of this tool hole is set to be larger than the circumscribed circle of thetool 10 that fits in thefitting hole 3 c of the two-way screw 3. For this reason, thetool 10 can fit in the two-way screw 3 by passing through thelock bolt 8. - According to the turbocompressor S4 of the present embodiment having this constitution, even in the case of the
compressor impeller 1 a attempting to undergo rotational movement in the direction of loosening of the fastening power, it is possible to inhibit displacement of the two-way screw 3 in the rotation axis L direction by thelock bolt 8. As a result, it is possible to prevent rotational movement of thecompressor impeller 1 a in the direction of loosening of the fastening power. - Hereinabove, the preferred embodiments of the present invention were described while referring to the appended drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not to be limited to the aforementioned embodiments. The various shapes and combinations of the respective component members shown in the above embodiments are examples only, and various changes are possible based on design requirements within a scope of the present invention.
- For example, in the aforementioned embodiments, it is also possible to make the pitch of the screw thread that is formed at the
impeller screwing region 3 a and the pitch of the screw thread that is formed at theshaft screwing region 3 b differ. - By adopting this kind of constitution, the amount of movement of the
compressor impeller 1 a and the amount of movement of theshaft 2 per unit rotation of the two-way screw 3 change. In other words, the rotation amount of the two-way screw 3 with respect to the unit movement amount of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 differs. - As a result, when the turbocompressor is running, it is possible to inhibit rotation of the two-
way screw 3 when thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2 attempt to move in the rotation axis L direction. Thereby, it is possible to inhibit loosening of the fastening power between thecompressor impeller 1 a and the two-way screw 3. - Also, for example, in the aforementioned embodiments, the
fitting projection 2 a is provided at theshaft 2, and thefitting hole 1 e is provided in thecompressor impeller 1 a. - However, as shown in
FIG. 6 , it is also possible to adopt a constitution that conversely provides a fitting projection in thecompressor impeller 1 a and provides a fitting hole in theshaft 2. - By adopting this kind of constitution, as shown in
FIG. 6 , the two-way screw 3 is arranged greatly recessed in the interior of theshaft 2. For that reason, it is possible to allow the two-way screw 3 to escape from the root region of the maximum diameter portion in thecompressor impeller 1 a where the load becomes great due to the highest stress acting, and so it is possible to reduce the load that acts on the two-way screw 3. - Also, due to the two-
way screw 3 leaving the maximum stress portion of thecompressor impeller 1 a, it is possible to apply a higher axial force to thecompressor impeller 1 a, and it is possible to increase the fastening power of thecompressor impeller 1 a and theshaft 2. - Also, in the aforementioned embodiments, in order to inhibit loosening of the fastening power due to thermal expansion during operation, an axial force that can mitigate loosening of the axial force due to thermal expansion may be applied to the two-
way screw 3. - Also, in the aforementioned embodiments, as shown in
FIG. 2 , a constitution was adopted in which the two-way screw 3 is provided with afitting hole 3 a in which thetool 10 is fitted. - However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to adopt a constitution in which the two-
way screw 3, instead of thefitting hole 3 a, is equipped with a fitting projection that a tool is capable of fitting. - Also, in the aforementioned embodiments, a turbocompressor was described in which one shaft and one
compressor impeller 1 a at one end of the shaft are fastened. - However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it can also be applied to a turbocompressor in which a
compressor impeller 1 a is fastened to both ends of one shaft, a turbocompressor that is provided with a plurality of shafts and in which a compressor impeller is provided at each shaft, and a turbocompressor that is provided with other equipment such as a cooler or the like that cools the compressed gas. - According to the present invention, in a turbomachinery that is provided with an impeller and a shaft that are to be fastened, when fastening the impeller to the shaft, there is no need for a complicated and large device, and it is possible to cut down on the amount of work during fastening.
