[0030] Wherein, the shaft 3 is sequentially provided with first dynamic pressure radial bearing 2, transmission gear 31 and second dynamic pressure radial bearing 4 along the direction close to the impeller 6 on the shaft 3;

[0031] The shaft 3 is provided with first thrust disc 32 and second thrust disc 33 respectively on the axial both ends of the second dynamic pressure radial bearing 4 on the shaft 3;

[0032] The position of the second thrust disc 33 is close to the impeller 6 relative to the first thrust disc 32, and the first thrust disc 32 and the end face of the second dynamic pressure radial bearing 4 form a main thrust bearing to bear the axial force of the rotor pointing to the direction of the impeller 6.

[0033] In an embodiment, the first dynamic pressure radial bearing 2 radially extends a first clamping part, and the gear box 1 is provided with a first clamping groove, and the first clamping part is clamped with the first clamping groove.

[0034] In an embodiment, an adjusting assembly 5 is further provided to fine tune the axial position of the second dynamic pressure radial bearing 4.
