Patent Description:
There are Patent Literatures <NUM> and <NUM> as the background art of the present invention. Patent Literature <NUM> describes "a rotating machine, in which an output side of a motor-type driving unit having a horizontal axis line is fixed to a first side of an attached plate in a support bracket in which the attached plate is provided to stand on a base plate, and an input side of a main body of a driven rotating machine is removably mounted on a second side of the attached plate, so that an output shaft of the motor-type driving unit can be connected to an input shaft of the main body of the driven rotating machine".

Patent Literature <NUM> describes "a scroll-type fluid machine, comprising: a casing; a fixed scroll provided in the casing and including a spiral wrapping section provided to stand; a revolving scroll, in which a spiral wrapping section that overlaps with the wrapping section of the fixed scroll is provided stand on a surface of a panel, the revolving scroll revolved while forming a plurality of compression chambers in combination with the fixed scroll; a drive shaft that is rotatably provided in the casing and drives the revolving scroll; and a plurality of auxiliary crank mechanisms in a circumferential direction of the revolving scroll provided to revolve the revolving scroll while preventing autorotation of the revolving scroll, wherein the auxiliary crank mechanism includes a revolving-side bearing section provided on the revolving scroll side, a fixing-side bearing section provided on a fixing side, and an auxiliary crank shaft connected to the revolving-side bearing section and the fixing-side bearing section, at least one of the revolving-side bearing section and the fixing-side bearing section is housed in a boss piece, and the boss piece is connected to the revolving scroll or the fixing side via a support column in an axial direction".

<CIT> discloses an electric compressor forming the basis for the two-part form of claim <NUM>. Further conventional scroll-type fluid machines are described in <CIT> and in <CIT>.

In the scroll-type fluid machine (rotating machine) of Patent Literature <NUM>, an eccentric portion (an eccentric tube <NUM>) at a distal end of a shaft (an output shaft <NUM>) is kept attached to a main body unit (a driven rotating machine main body) side when, for example, a motor-type driving unit <NUM> is removed. For this reason, operation check cannot be performed only with a motor.

In the scroll-type fluid machine of Patent Literature <NUM>, operation check can be performed only with a motor unit (a motor (driving source) <NUM>), for example, after the motor unit is removed; however, since a shaft (a main shaft 15B) and a main shaft section <NUM> are separate units and connected by using a fastening member, the number of parts is large and labor is required at the time of disassembly. In addition, since the shaft and the main shaft section <NUM> are separate units, misalignment easily occurs. When misalignment occurs, a load applied to a main bearing is increased, which causes reduction in bearing life.

For example, there is a revolving bearing at a distal end of the eccentric portion of the shaft. The revolving bearing requires maintenance, such as supplying a lubricant, like grease. Since the eccentric portion is in a state of being attached to a compressor unit in both Patent Literature <NUM> and Patent Literature <NUM>, the eccentric portion (the eccentric tube <NUM>) needs to be further removed after the motor-type driving unit <NUM> is removed in order to oil the revolving bearing. For this reason, in the configuration of Patent Literature <NUM>, grease cannot be supplied to the revolving bearing only by removing the motor-type driving unit <NUM> from the main body unit (the driven rotating machine main body). Accordingly, maintenance, such as visual check of grease of the revolving bearing and supplying grease, cannot be performed easily.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine and a maintenance method for the scroll-type fluid machine, in which separation, assembly, and maintenance of the compressor main body unit and the motor unit can be performed easily.

To solve the above problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a scroll-type fluid machine according to claim <NUM>.

Further, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a maintenance method for a scroll-type fluid machine according to claim <NUM>.

According to the present invention, a scroll-type fluid machine and a maintenance method for the scroll-type fluid machine, in which separation, assembly, and maintenance of a compressor unit and a motor unit can be performed easily.

Hereinafter, detailed description will be made on a first embodiment of the present invention based on the accompanying diagram. <FIG> shows an outline of a scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> in the present invention. <FIG> shows a cross-sectional view of the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> of <FIG> viewed from a side surface. <FIG> show an example of a separated state of a main body unit <NUM> and a motor unit <NUM>.

The scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> in the present embodiment shown in <FIG> may be a scroll-type compressor that compresses specific gas, such as air and nitrogen, or refrigerant, or a scroll-type vacuum pump.

As shown in <FIG>, the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> is configured with the main body unit <NUM> that compresses a fluid and the motor unit <NUM> that drives the main body unit <NUM>. As shown in <FIG>, an internal structure of the main body unit <NUM> is configured with a fixed scroll <NUM>, a revolving scroll <NUM> arranged to face the fixed scroll <NUM>, and a main body casing <NUM> that covers the revolving scroll <NUM> from an outer side in a radial direction. In the fixed scrolls <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM>, spiral wrapping sections 2B and 3B are formed on surfaces of panels 2A and 3A, respectively. The wrapping sections 2B and 3B of the fixed scroll <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM> overlap each other to constitute a compression chamber. The main body casing <NUM> has a tubular shape, and has both ends opened. The fixed scroll <NUM> is attached to an opening section on a one end side of the main body casing <NUM>, and the motor unit <NUM> is attached to an opening section <NUM> on the other end side. The revolving scroll <NUM> is driven by the motor unit <NUM>, and performs a revolving motion. The main body unit <NUM> compresses and discharges a fluid when the revolving motion of the revolving scroll <NUM> continuously contracts the compression chamber formed between the wrapping section 2B of the fixed scroll <NUM> and the wrapping section 3B of the revolving scroll <NUM>. The present embodiment exemplifies the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> that has only one pair of the fixed scroll <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM>; however, the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> may include the revolving scroll <NUM> that has the wrapping sections 3B on both sides of the panel 3A and the fixed scrolls <NUM> on both sides of the revolving scroll <NUM>.

The revolving scroll <NUM> includes a boss section 9A that houses a shaft <NUM> of the motor unit <NUM> on a back surface side (an opposite side of the surface on which the wrapping section 3B is formed) of the panel 3A. The boss section 9A may be directly formed on the back surface of the panel 3A of the revolving scroll <NUM>, or may be formed on a back surface (a surface on an opposite side of the revolving scroll <NUM>) of a boss plate <NUM> which is provided at a position away from the back surface of the panel 3A as shown in <FIG>.

The boss section 9A provided on the back surface side of the revolving scroll <NUM> is provided with a revolving bearing <NUM> that supports a centrifugal force generated by a revolving motion of the revolving scroll <NUM> and a gas load that is generated by compressing air.

A plurality of autorotation preventing mechanisms for preventing autorotation of the revolving scroll <NUM> are provided between the main body casing <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM>. The autorotation preventing mechanism prevents autorotation of the revolving scroll <NUM> and supports a gas load in an axial direction applied from the revolving scroll <NUM>. The autorotation preventing mechanism has two eccentric shafts which are formed integrally in an axial direction, is held in a radial direction by a casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>, and is configured with an auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> that prevents autorotation of the revolving scroll <NUM> by performing a rotation motion by following the revolving scroll <NUM>, a revolving-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> that supports the auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> and is housed in the revolving scroll <NUM>, and a casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> housed in the main body casing <NUM>. The autorotation prevention mechanism may be configured by using, for example, a ball coupling mechanism, an Oldham coupling, or the like, in place of the auxiliary crank mechanism described so far.

The auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> is held by the main body casing <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM> with the revolving-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> and the casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> provided between them. For example, the auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> is fixed to the main body casing <NUM> with a bolt, and is fixed to the revolving scroll <NUM> by interference fitting with the revolving-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> provided between them. The auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> is loosely fitted to the revolving-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> (the casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>), and may be fixed to the revolving scroll <NUM> (the main body casing <NUM>) with a keep plate.

That is, the main body casing <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM> face each other in an axial direction (a longitudinal direction of the shaft <NUM>), and are held (fixed) in the axial direction with the autorotation preventing mechanism provided between them.

For this reason, when the shaft <NUM> is pulled out from the main body unit <NUM> in order to separate the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM>, the revolving scroll <NUM> is not separated from the main body casing <NUM>. In this manner, the motor unit <NUM> can be separated without disassembling the main body unit <NUM>.

As shown in <FIG>, the motor unit <NUM> includes a stator <NUM> and a rotor <NUM> that generate power, and the shaft <NUM> that is integrated with the rotor <NUM> by press fitting and the like and transmits power to the outside. When the stator <NUM> provides a turning force to the rotor <NUM>, the shaft <NUM> integral with the rotor <NUM> rotates. The shaft <NUM> has an eccentric portion 6A. The eccentric portion 6A is housed in the boss section 9A provided on a back surface of the revolving scroll <NUM> in a manner removable only by being pulled in an axial direction when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are assembled (for example, the eccentric portion 6A is attached to the boss section 9A by loose fitting), and is removably attached to the main body unit. In this manner, the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are connected with the eccentric portion 6A provided between them. The eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> performs an eccentric motion due to a rotation motion of the shaft <NUM>. For this reason, rotation of the shaft <NUM> causes the revolving scroll <NUM> connected to the eccentric portion 6A to perform a revolving motion. The motor unit <NUM> also includes a motor cover <NUM> that contains the stator <NUM> and the rotor <NUM>. The motor cover <NUM> is configured with a motor casing <NUM> having a tubular shape that covers the stator <NUM>, the rotor <NUM>, and the shaft <NUM> from an outer side in a radial direction, a flange <NUM> provided in an opening section on the main body unit <NUM> side of the motor casing <NUM>, and an end bracket <NUM> provided in an opening section on an opposite side of the main body unit <NUM>.

The motor casing <NUM> is fixed to the stator <NUM>, and houses the rotor <NUM> and the shaft <NUM>. The shaft <NUM> is supported by a main bearing <NUM> and an anti-load bearing <NUM>. The main bearing <NUM> and the anti-load bearing <NUM> are arranged to be concentric, and the shaft <NUM> is prohibited from being inclined to an axis line of the main bearing <NUM> and the anti-load bearing <NUM>. In this manner, vibration generated by inclination of the shaft <NUM> is restrained when the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> is operated.

In the present embodiment, the main bearing <NUM> is arranged in the motor cover <NUM>, that is, between the flange <NUM> and the end bracket <NUM> (on an opposite side of the main body unit <NUM> with respect to the flange <NUM>). The main bearing <NUM> is fixed in the motor cover <NUM> by the flange <NUM>. The flange <NUM> is fastened to the motor casing <NUM>. The flange <NUM> may be formed integrally with the motor casing <NUM>. The main body casing <NUM> and the motor cover <NUM> may be fastened in a manner that the flange <NUM> is sandwiched between the main body casing <NUM> and the motor casing <NUM>.

In the present embodiment, the main bearing <NUM> and at least part of the autorotation preventing mechanisms are arranged at positions in an axial direction (a longitudinal direction of the shaft <NUM>) that overlap each other when viewed from a radial direction. That is, an end surface on the main body unit <NUM> side of the main bearing <NUM> is arranged closer to the main body unit <NUM> side than an end surface on the motor unit <NUM> side of the autorotation preventing mechanisms (the casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>).

In particular, when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are formed as separate units and have a separable structure like in the present embodiment, size is easily increased in an axial direction. On the other hand, there is space on an inner side in a radial direction of the autorotation preventing mechanism of the main body unit <NUM>. The main bearing <NUM> is arranged in the space. In this manner, a dimension in an axial direction of the shaft <NUM> can be reduced, and a dimension in an axial direction of the entire scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> can be reduced.

For the revolving scroll <NUM> to perform a stable revolving motion at a proper position, the main bearing <NUM> and the autorotation preventing mechanism need to be connected (fixed). At this time, if positions in an axial direction of the main bearing <NUM> and the autorotation preventing mechanism are apart from each other, a large load (moment) is applied to a member that connects the main bearing <NUM> and the autorotation preventing mechanism during operation of the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM>. For this reason, a reinforcing member, such as a rib, needs to be made large, and reduction in size and weight cannot be achieved. On the other hand, when positions in an axial direction of the main bearing <NUM> and at least part of the autorotation preventing mechanisms overlap each other like in the present embodiment, reduction in size and weight of a member that connects the main bearing <NUM> and the autorotation preventing mechanism can be reduced, and reduction in size and weight of the entire scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> can be achieved.

If the main bearing <NUM> is provided on an outer side of the motor cover <NUM> in a state where an outer ring of the main bearing <NUM> is exposed, stability of the main bearing <NUM> needs to be secured when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are assembled so that the motor unit <NUM> is operated. Vibration during operation also needs to be restrained. For this reason, the main bearing <NUM> needs to be fitted to the main body unit <NUM>. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the main bearing <NUM> is fixed to the inside of the motor cover <NUM> by the flange <NUM>. By the above configuration, the main bearing <NUM> does not need to be attached to or removed from the main body unit <NUM> when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are connected and separated. When the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated, the main bearing <NUM> can be prevented from moving in an axial direction of the shaft <NUM> and becoming unstable. For this reason, by providing the main bearing <NUM> in the motor cover <NUM>, the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> can be easily connected and separated. When the shaft <NUM> is pulled out from the main body unit <NUM> in order to separate the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM>, the main bearing <NUM> is never separated from the motor unit <NUM>. In this manner, the motor unit <NUM> can be separated from the main body unit <NUM> without disassembling the motor unit <NUM>. That is, assembly of the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> and replacing work of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are facilitated. In addition, operation check using only the motor unit <NUM> and maintenance, such as, replacement of a part (including replacement of a motor that accompanies change of capacity of the motor) and supplying grease, become possible.

At this time, the flange <NUM> has a step shape, in which an inner side in a radial direction protrudes to the main body unit <NUM> side relative to an outer side in the radial direction. The main bearing <NUM> is fixed to an inner side in a radial direction of a surface on an opposite side of the main body unit <NUM> of the flange <NUM> (a section protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side). On the other hand, a fastening bearing surface <NUM> with respect to the main body unit <NUM> is on an outer side in a radial direction of the flange <NUM> (a section not protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side). That is, a position in an axial direction of at least part of the main bearing <NUM> is closer to a distal end of the eccentric portion 6A than a position in an axial direction of the fastening bearing surface <NUM> with respect to the main body unit <NUM> formed on the flange <NUM>. In this manner, there can be achieved a configuration in which the main bearing <NUM> is fixed in the motor cover <NUM> by the flange <NUM>, and a position in an axial direction of at least part of the main bearing <NUM> overlaps with that of the autorotation preventing mechanism.

<FIG> shows an enlarged view of the revolving bearing <NUM> according to the present embodiment. The eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is supported by the revolving bearing <NUM> with respect to the revolving scroll <NUM>. Power of the shaft <NUM> is transmitted to the revolving scroll <NUM> through the revolving bearing <NUM>. The revolving bearing <NUM> is configured with a revolving bearing inner ring 10A having an annular shape fixed to the shaft <NUM> by press fitting and the like, a plurality of revolving bearing rollers 10B provided in the boss section 9A of the main body unit <NUM>, and a revolving bearing outer ring 10C having an annular shape fixed to the boss section 9A by press fitting and the like.

The revolving bearing roller 10B is rotatably held between the revolving bearing inner ring 10A and the revolving bearing outer ring 10C. At the time of maintenance, a lubricant, such as grease, needs to be supplied to a plurality of the revolving bearing rollers 10B separated to the main body unit <NUM> side (or the motor unit side). In the present embodiment, the revolving bearing inner ring 10A is formed integrally with the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> so as to be a constituent of the motor unit <NUM>. The revolving bearing outer ring 10C is formed integrally with the boss section 9A so as to be a constituent of the main body unit <NUM>. In this manner, the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> can be easily separated at the revolving bearing inner ring 10A and the revolving bearing roller 10B, and reassembly can also be performed easily. By forming the shaft <NUM> and the eccentric portion 6A integrally, the number of parts can be reduced, and labor of assembly and disassembly can be reduced. In addition, since the revolving bearing roller 10B is exposed at the time of disassembly, maintenance, such as supplying grease to the revolving bearing roller 10B, replacement of a part, and visual check, can be performed easily.

In the present embodiment, the revolving bearing roller 10B is a constituent on the main body unit <NUM> side; however, as long as the structure is such that the revolving bearing roller 10B is exposed when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated, for example, like a variation shown in <FIG>, the revolving bearing inner ring 10A may be a constituent on the main body unit <NUM> side and the revolving bearing roller 10B and the revolving bearing outer ring 10C may be constituents on the motor unit <NUM> side. The boss section 9A of <FIG> may be integral with a balance weight <NUM> and a constituent on the motor unit <NUM> side.

As shown in <FIG>, in the present embodiment, a fastening member that fastens the motor cover <NUM> and the main body casing <NUM> is removed and the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated in order to perform maintenance. At this time, the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is removed from the main body unit <NUM> (the boss section 9A). At this time, the revolving bearing inner ring 10A is removed integrally with the shaft <NUM>. On the other hand, the revolving bearing outer ring 10C is on the main body unit <NUM> side even after the motor unit <NUM> is removed. The eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is attached to the boss section 9A (the revolving bearing inner ring 10A is attached to the revolving bearing roller 10B) by loose fitting. For this reason, only by removing the fastening bolt <NUM> and pulling out the main body unit <NUM> in an axial direction, the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> can be separated. In this manner, each unit can be easily replaced with a new unit, and an output of the motor unit <NUM> can be easily changed. Since the motor unit <NUM> includes the main bearing <NUM>, operation and performance check can be performed only with the motor unit <NUM> after each unit is separated. In the main body unit <NUM>, the revolving bearing <NUM> (the revolving bearing roller 10B) and the casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM> are exposed on a back surface side, so that replacement of parts and maintenance, such as visual check and supplying a lubricant, like grease, can be performed easily.

After the maintenance is performed, the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is inserted in the boss section 9A of the main body unit <NUM>. By fastening the motor cover <NUM> and the main body casing <NUM> with a fastening member (for example, by inserting the fastening bolt <NUM> in a bolt insertion hole provided on the motor cover <NUM> and the main body casing <NUM>), the motor unit <NUM> is assembled with the main body unit <NUM>, and the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> is assembled again.

By the above separation and assembly structure, the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> can be easily assembled in an operable state after the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are assembled separately.

Description will be made on a separation structure of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> by using <FIG>, and <FIG> is a cross-sectional view in a side surface direction in a separated state.

At the time of maintenance of the main body unit <NUM>, maintenance of the revolving bearing <NUM> needs to be performed by supplying a lubricant, such as grease. In the prior art described in Patent Literature <NUM>, the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separably connected in series, although the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is kept attached to the main body unit <NUM>. To perform the maintenance of the revolving bearing <NUM>, work of disassembling the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> and also removing the eccentric portion of the shaft <NUM> is required after the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated. For this reason, work processes other than separation of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are required, and the maintenance cannot be performed easily.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is formed integrally with the shaft <NUM>, and is a constituent on the motor unit <NUM> side. Accordingly, the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is removed from the main body unit <NUM> when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated. For this reason, visual check of grease and supply of grease to the revolving bearing <NUM> of the main body unit <NUM> can be performed without disassembling the main body unit <NUM>, and the maintenance is facilitated. The eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> is formed integrally with the shaft <NUM> and is configured to be removed to the motor unit side integrally with the shaft <NUM> when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are separated. As long as the above configuration is used, for example, the eccentric portion 6A and the shaft <NUM> may be configured to be fastened with a bolt, and the shaft <NUM> and the eccentric portion 6A can be separated by removing the bolt.

An area of the opening section <NUM> on the motor unit <NUM> side of the main body casing <NUM> is larger than a projection area of the motor unit <NUM> (an area of a shadow created when parallel light is emitted to a section protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side from the flange <NUM> from an axial direction of the shaft <NUM>) between a distal end of the eccentric portion 6A viewed from an axial direction of the shaft <NUM> and the flange <NUM> (a section protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side from the flange <NUM>). That is, a diameter φA of the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM> is made larger than a maximum diameter 22φa of the motor unit <NUM> between a distal end of the eccentric portion 6A and the flange <NUM> (a section protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side from the flange <NUM>). In this manner, part of the motor unit <NUM> can be inserted in the inside of the main body casing <NUM> through the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM> and assembled or part of the motor unit <NUM> can be taken out from the inside of the main body casing without inclining the motor unit <NUM> when the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> are assembled or separated.

When the balance weight <NUM> for keeping balance of the revolving scroll <NUM> is provided in a section protruding to the main body unit <NUM> side from the flange <NUM> of the shaft <NUM>, a projection area viewed from an axial direction between a distal end of the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> and the flange <NUM> of the motor unit <NUM> includes the balance weight <NUM>. A diameter of an opening section on the motor unit <NUM> side is larger than a larger one of a maximum diameter of the eccentric portion 6A of the shaft <NUM> and a maximum diameter of the balance weight <NUM>.

<FIG> shows a variation of the present embodiment. In <FIG>, the balance weight <NUM> is arranged in the motor cover <NUM>, that is, a side away from the main body unit <NUM> farther than the flange <NUM>. In this case, the balance weight <NUM> does not need to pass through the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM>. For this reason, an area of the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM> only needs to be larger than a projection area viewed from an axial direction between a distal end of the eccentric portion 6A and the flange of the motor unit <NUM>. That is, an area of the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM> may be smaller than a cross section viewed from an axial direction of the balance weight <NUM>. By arranging the balance weight <NUM> in the motor cover <NUM>, the opening section <NUM> of the main body casing <NUM> does not need to be made large even when the balance weight <NUM> is made large. Since the opening section <NUM> does not need to be made large, the main body casing <NUM> itself does not need to be formed large, and reduction in size and weight of the entire scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> can be achieved.

Description will be made on a second embodiment of the present invention by using <FIG>. Configurations which are the same as those in the first embodiment will be attached with the same reference signs and omitted from description. In the present embodiment, description will be made on a fastening position of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM>.

<FIG> is a diagram of the main body unit <NUM> viewed from a back surface side. If the fastening position of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> is on an inner side in a radial direction than an outer peripheral surface of the fixed scroll <NUM>, the fastening position is hidden behind the fixed scroll <NUM> and hard to observe. Fastening work and separation work are also interfered by the fixed scroll <NUM>. For this reason, maintenance work cannot be performed easily without removing the fixed scroll <NUM>. In the present embodiment, the fastening position of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> (a position of the fastening bearing surface <NUM>) is placed on an outer side in a radial direction than the outer peripheral surface of the fixed scroll <NUM> on the basis of a center of the shaft <NUM>. In this manner, the fixed scroll <NUM> does not need to be removed when the main body unit <NUM> is separated, and the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> can be separated in a state where the fixed scroll is attached. In this manner, maintenance can be performed easily.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a distance φD from the center of the shaft <NUM> of the fastening position (the position of the fastening bearing surface <NUM>) is made larger than a distance φd from the center of the shaft <NUM> of the auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>. That is, the fastening position of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> is provided on an outer side in a radial direction than positions of the autorotation preventing mechanisms (the auxiliary crank shaft <NUM>, the revolving-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>, and the casing-side auxiliary crank bearing <NUM>).

When the scroll-type fluid machine <NUM> is operated, the main body unit <NUM>, particularly a compression chamber formed between the fixed scroll <NUM> and the revolving scroll <NUM> generates much heat, so that the revolving scroll <NUM> is thermally expanded. When the revolving scroll <NUM> is thermally expanded, the auxiliary crank shaft <NUM> between the revolving scroll <NUM> and the main body casing is inclined, and a revolving radius of the revolving scroll <NUM> becomes large. At this time, there is possibility that the wrapping section 2B of the fixed scroll <NUM> and the wrapping section 3B of the revolving scroll <NUM> come into contact with each other, and reliability is lowered. On the other hand, if positions of the wrapping sections 2B and 3B are specified so that the wrapping sections 2B and 3B do not come into contact with each other in consideration of deformation caused by thermal expansion of the wrapping section 2B of the fixed scroll <NUM> and the wrapping section 3B of the revolving scroll <NUM> in advance, compression performance cannot be secured.

In view of the above, in the present embodiment, the fastening position of the main body unit <NUM> and the motor unit <NUM> is arranged on an outer side than the autorotation preventing mechanism. Thermal expansion of the revolving scroll <NUM> is transmitted to the main body casing <NUM> through the autorotation preventing mechanism; however, by fastening the main body casing <NUM> to the motor cover <NUM> with the fastening bolt <NUM> on an outer side in the radial direction than the autorotation preventing mechanism, deformation caused by thermal expansion of the main body casing <NUM> can be restrained. In this manner, a revolving radius of the revolving scroll <NUM> can be restrained from becoming large, and reliability and compression performance of the revolving scroll <NUM> can be secured.
