- the fluid machine 101 compresses the air supplied to the compression chamber 73 through the compression chamber introduction passage 72, and discharges this air from the discharge chamber introduction passage 74 to the discharge chamber 75.
- Air which is a working fluid in the fluid machine 101, flows down in the order of the external suction passage 70, the suction chamber 71, the compression chamber introduction passage 72, and the compression chamber 73. Further, the air flows down from the compression chamber 73 in the order of the discharge chamber introduction passage 74 and the discharge chamber 75, and flows out from the discharge port 76 to the outside.

Therefore, the load received from the vane on the portion of the pump rotor 106 in which the slit is formed can be suppressed. According to this effect, the thru-vane type fluid machine 101 can form the pump rotor 106 from the resin. It is preferable to use polyphenylene sulfide or polyether ether ketone as this resin to provide heat resistance.

- the pump rotor 106 can move or tilt in the axial direction with respect to the axial direction of the support portion due to the unique connecting structure of the support portion and the supported portion 61. That is, it is possible to reduce the restraint of the pump rotor 106 with respect to the posture of the shaft 21 and the support portion, and increase the degree of freedom regarding the posture of the pump rotor 106. Due to the displaceable characteristics of the pump rotor 106, it is possible to prevent the pump rotor 106 from strongly contacting peripheral members such as the first plate 35 and the second plate 36 and locally receiving a load. Therefore, it is possible to provide a through-vane type fluid machine capable of suppressing machine loss.
- the support portion is provided with a gap portion extending in the radial direction through the central axis of the pump rotor 106 inside the portion in contact with the supported portion 61.
- This gap is formed between the facing surfaces 372a and the facing surfaces 372a that face each other in the pair of other side support portions 1372.

Since the pump rotor 106 can be displaced with respect to the support portion starting from the axial center side, the pump rotor 106 can have a symmetrical movable range starting from the axial center. According to this, it is possible to provide a through-vane type fluid machine capable of evenly suppressing mechanical loss for peripheral members existing on either side in the axial direction with respect to the pump rotor 106.

- the shaft 21 has a configuration in which the shaft 21 is not supported by the bearing portion on the other side of the pump rotor 106 in the axial direction. According to this, the shaft 21 is rotatably provided on only one side of the pump rotor 106 and is not provided on the other side. Therefore, since the inclination of the shaft 21 can be suppressed, it is possible to provide the fluid machine 101 that can reduce the inclination range of the pump rotor 106.
- the bearing portions provided on both sides of the motor rotor 22 in the motor portion 2 are bearing portions provided on one side of the pump rotor 106. According to this, it is possible to provide a fluid machine 101 that contributes to suppressing the inclination of the shaft 21 and can reduce the inclination range of the pump rotor 106.
- the fluid machine 101 is a device used under non-lubricating conditions where no lubricating oil is supplied from the outside.
