Abstract

According to one embodiment, a mounting structure includes a first member, a second member and a support. The first member includes a first outer surface extending along and around a first axis. The second member has a first surface to which a first hole opens, the first hole extending along the first axis to house the first member. The support is rotatable integrally with the first member around the first axis and has a second surface facing the first surface. One of the first surface and the second surface is provided with first dents. The other of the first surface and the second surface is provided with at least one first bump that fits into at least one of the first dents to limit a relative rotation between the second member and the support around the first axis.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mounting structure, comprising:
 a first member that includes a first outer surface extending along and around a first axis;   a second member that is provided with a first hole and has a first surface to which the first hole opens, the first hole having the center matching the first axis and extending along the first axis to house the first member; and   a support that is rotatable integrally with the first member around the first axis and has a second surface facing the first surface, wherein   one of the first surface and the second surface is provided with a plurality of first dents, the first dents being aligned in a circumferential direction of the first axis, and   the other of the first surface and the second surface is provided with at least one first bump that fits into at least one of the first dents to limit a relative rotation between the second member and the support around the first axis.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first dents extend radially with respect to the first axis, and   the at least one first bump extends in a radial direction of the first axis.   
     
     
         3 . The mounting structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the number of the first dents is larger than the number of the at least one first bump. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a third member that is provided with a second hole, the second hole having the center matching a second axis and extending along the second axis to house the second member, the second axis differing from the first axis, wherein
 the first member is provided with a third hole and includes a first inner surface at least a part of which forms the third hole and that is opposite the first outer surface, the third hole having the center matching a third axis and extending along the third axis, the third axis differing from the first axis,   the second member includes a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second inner surface that contacts with the first outer surface and at least a part of which forms the first hole, the second outer surface that is opposite the second inner surface and extends along and around the second axis, and   the third member includes a third inner surface that contacts with the second outer surface and at least a part of which forms the second hole.   
     
     
         5 . The mounting structure according to  claim 4 , further comprising a fourth member, wherein
 the second member includes a third surface that is opposite the first surface and provided with a first fitting,   the third member includes a fourth surface and a fifth surface, the fourth surface that faces the first surface and to which the second hole opens, the fifth surface that is opposite the fourth surface and provided with a second fitting,   the fourth member includes a sixth surface that faces the third surface and the fifth surface and is provided with a third fitting,   the first fitting includes one of at least one second bump and a plurality of second dents, the second dents being aligned in a circumferential direction of the second axis,   the second fitting includes the same one of the at least one second bump and the second dents, and   the third fitting includes the other of the at least one second bump and the second dents, and fits the first fitting and the second fitting to limit a relative rotation among the second member, the third member, and the fourth member around the second axis.   
     
     
         6 . The mounting structure according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the second dents extend radially with respect to the second axis, and   the at least one second bump extends in a radial direction of the second axis.   
     
     
         7 . The mounting structure according to  claim 5 , wherein the number of the second dents included in one of the first fitting, the second fitting, and the third fitting is larger than the number of the at least one second bump included in another one of the first fitting, the second fitting, and the third fitting. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein the first axis, the second axis, and the third axis are parallel to one another. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein a distance between the first axis and the second axis is equal to a distance between the first axis and the third axis. 
     
     
         10 . The mounting structure according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the first outer surface is in rotational symmetry with respect to the first axis,   the second inner surface is in rotational symmetry with respect to the first axis,   the second outer surface is in rotational symmetry with respect to the second axis, and   the third inner surface is in rotational symmetry with respect to the second axis.   
     
     
         11 . Rotational machinery, comprising:
 the mounting structure according to  claim 4 ; and   a power source that includes a shaft to be inserted into the third hole, and is able to rotate the shaft.   
     
     
         12 . An air conditioning apparatus, comprising:
 the mounting structure according to  claim 4 ;   a power source that includes a shaft to be inserted into the third hole, and is able to rotate the shaft; and   a fan connected to the third member.
