Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum measurement, and more specifically to a vacuum measurement device using a voltage-frequency technology. Background Art
[0002] The importance of thin films in modern science and technology is increasing day by day, and their application fields and scenarios are very numerous. Modern thin films are generally measured under vacuum conditions, so the measurement of vacuum degree is very necessary. A vacuum gauge is an instrument for measuring vacuum degree or air pressure. Generally, the air pressure is measured by using the change of a certain physical effect of gas under different air pressures. It is widely used in scientific research and industrial production. According to the different physical mechanisms used in the measurement principle of vacuum gauges, the main vacuum gauges can be divided into three categories, namely vacuum gauges that use mechanical properties, gas dynamic effects, and charged particle effects.
[0003] Typical vacuum gauges that utilize mechanical properties include Bourdon gauges and film capacitance gauges; typical vacuum gauges that utilize gas dynamic effects include Pirani resistance gauges and thermocouple gauges; typical vacuum gauges that utilize charged particle effects include hot cathode ionization gauges and cold cathode ionization gauges.
[0004] The conventional vacuum gauges mentioned above, regardless of the measurement principle adopted, have a relatively complex mechanical structure and require filtering, amplification and other processing of the analog small signals. Usually, analog signals are sensitive to environmental interference and are easily interfered by external signals, resulting in unstable measurement circuits or large deviations in measurement results. At the same time, the measurement circuits are more complex and the cost is increased.
[0005] This device proposes a new idea, which uses piezoelectric materials to respond to changes in vacuum pressure and output a frequency signal. The frequency signal is linearly related to the vacuum pressure. Therefore, as long as the change in the frequency signal is accurately measured, the change in vacuum pressure can be inferred, and thus the vacuum degree can be calculated.
[0006] The main components in the figure need to be marked with numbers, and there is no need to mark the size, tolerance, etc. The same component in different figures must be marked with the same number! Block diagrams can be used for electronic and communication products. Utility Model Content

The fixing hole of the sealing arm 303 is connected with the card slot, and a fixing bolt 304 is arranged inside the fixing hole of the sealing arm 303.
[0030] The detection structure 4 includes a voltage-frequency diaphragm 401 , with wing plates 402 fixedly connected on both sides of the voltage-frequency diaphragm 401 . A fixing hole is provided at one end of the wing plate 402 close to the voltage-frequency diaphragm 401 , and a fixing rod 403 is fixedly connected at one end of the wing plate 402 away from the voltage-frequency diaphragm 401 .
[0031] Among them, two electrode sheets 404 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the fixed rod 403, and the two electrode sheets 404 are symmetrical about the voltage-frequency diaphragm 401.

[0032] The specific working process of the device is as follows:
[0033] 1. The sensor probe equipped with a pressure-frequency diaphragm is connected to the vacuum chamber to be measured at one end and the reference vacuum pressure is preset at the other end. When the measured vacuum pressure is different from the reference vacuum pressure, the pressure-frequency diaphragm will deform and bend to the side with lower pressure.
[0034] 2. The voltage-frequency diaphragm has two electrodes, which are connected to the oscillation excitation circuit. The oscillation excitation circuit generates an excitation signal, which is applied to the voltage-frequency diaphragm. When the pressures at both ends of the voltage-frequency diaphragm are different and the diaphragm is deformed by the pressure, the oscillation frequency of the voltage-frequency diaphragm will change. This changed frequency is fed back to the oscillation excitation circuit through the two electrodes. The oscillation excitation circuit outputs the changed frequency to the frequency measurement circuit in the form of a frequency waveform.
[0035] 3. The frequency measurement circuit counts the input frequency waveform and calculates the number of waveform pulses per unit time, thereby obtaining the frequency value of the frequency waveform.
[0036] 4. The frequency value is output to the frequency-vacuum conversion module, which converts the frequency value into a vacuum value to obtain the vacuum value of the vacuum chamber being measured at this time.
[0037] 5. Final vacuum value output.
[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: before use, first check whether the device is normal to ensure that the device can operate normally when in use. When in use, the display screen 102 at the front end of the control base 101 is operated to control the value. The vacuum pump 201 is fixed to the top of the connecting base 103 through the stabilizing seat 202 and the fixing nail 203. The connecting port 204 is connected to the connecting ring 302. Since a pressure-frequency diaphragm 401 is fixed inside the vacuum box 301, a measured vacuum and a reference vacuum are formed on both sides of the vacuum box 301 respectively. Then the left-side driving structure 2 is started to change the vacuum value inside the measured vacuum. A pressure difference is formed between the measured vacuum and the reference vacuum. Since the pressure-frequency diaphragm 401 is connected to the reference vacuum through the wing plate 402, the sealing arm 303 and the fixing bolt 30 4 is fixed so that the pressure-frequency diaphragm 401 is deformed from the center point. The pressure-frequency diaphragm 401 is usually made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc. The metal material has high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, and can provide stable performance and reliable measurement results in a vacuum environment. The vibration frequency of the pressure-frequency diaphragm 401 is monitored by the fixing rod 403 and the electrode sheet 404. The wire 405 is energized so that the frequency detector 406 receives the signal. The frequency measurement circuit counts the input frequency waveform and calculates the number of waveform pulses per unit time, thereby obtaining the frequency value of the frequency waveform. The frequency value is output to the frequency-vacuum conversion module, and the frequency value is converted into a vacuum value to obtain the vacuum value of the vacuum chamber under test at this time. Finally, the vacuum value output is displayed on the display screen 102.
[0039] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
