  • Patent number: 10934867
    Abstract: A stationary-blade-type rotating machine is provided with a rotational shaft, an impeller, an impeller housing having a scroll passage formed on an outer peripheral side of the impeller, a bearing housing connected to the impeller housing in an axial direction of the rotational shaft, a stationary blade disposed in a radial passage formed between the scroll passage and the impeller and defined by an impeller-housing-side member and a bearing-housing-side member which face each other in the axial direction of the rotational shaft. The fixation unit includes an annular circumferential groove formed in an inner peripheral surface of the impeller housing and a ring-shaped fitting member subjected to a force for expanding in a radial direction while being fitted into the circumferential groove. The fitting member is configured to press the stationary blade to the impeller housing via at least one of the impeller-housing-side member or the bearing-housing-side member.
