The purpose of the present invention is to provide a scroll-type fluid machine for which maintenance can easily be performed in necessary locations, and a maintenance method for said fluid machine. The present invention provides a scroll-type fluid machined characterized by being provided with a main body unit for compressing a fluid, and a motor unit for driving the main body unit; the main body unit having a fixed scroll, a revolving scroll, a main body casing, and an autorotation-preventing mechanism that is held by the revolving scroll and the main body casing and that prevents autorotation of the revolving scroll; the motor unit having a rotor, a stator for causing the rotor to rotate, a shaft that rotates integrally with the rotor, a motor cover for housing the rotor and the stator, and a main bearing that is secured to the interior by the motor cover and that supports the shaft; a distal end of the shaft having an eccentric part; the main body unit and the motor unit being connected via the eccentric part; and the main body casing and the motor cover being fastened by a fastening member.

In order to enable monitoring of operating conditions of a plurality of uniaxial eccentric screw pumps with monitoring means installed in a remote site, a remote monitoring system (1) is capable of sending and receiving operating condition detection information items in a communication network (N) established by wireless intercommunication means (10) provided in the uniaxial eccentric screw pumps (100). Further, the operating condition detection information items aggregated to a coordinator (10a) can be sent to the Internet via Internet connection means (30). By this means, a state is achieved in which the operating conditions of the uniaxial eccentric screw pumps (100) can be monitored by monitoring means (50) connected to the Internet.

A disc-like spacer 78 arranged below a first roller bearing 54 rotatably supporting a driven crankshaft 52 that forms an anti-rotation system 50 is formed with a plurality of notches 78a in the circumferential direction. A spot face 80 is provided to face the outer circumferential surface of the spacer 78, and communication holes 82 and 86 are drilled on the outer circumferential side of the spot face 80 to extend in the axial direction of the scroll. Also formed is a communication hole communicating the communication hole 86 with the first roller bearing 54 via the notches 78a. A grease nipple 88 is mounted to the communication hole 86. To replenish grease, the fixed scroll 10 is removed from the housing 40 such that the orbiting scroll 20 is exposed, and grease is injected from the grease nipple 88 into the first roller bearing 54 with a grease gun.

A fluid pump includes a housing, a drive source, a rotary unit and a pumping mechanism. The drive source is accommodated in the housing and includes a rotary member for rotation. The rotary unit includes the rotary member and a rotary shaft, which is operatively connected to the rotary member for rotation. The rotary unit forming an engaging portion for engaging with a maintenance tool which is prepared outside the housing. The pumping mechanism is placed in the housing and is operated in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft. An allowing means is formed in the housing for allowing the maintenance tool to engage with the engaging portion so as to face the engaging portion. The rotary shaft is rotated by rotating the maintenance tool in a state that the maintenance tool is engaged with the engaged portion.
