Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Roots vacuum pump technology, and in particular to a stainless steel Roots vacuum pump, which is especially suitable for pumping and conveying corrosive, high-temperature and dusty gases in industrial scenarios, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, new energy and lithium battery manufacturing fields. Background Technology

[0002] Roots pumps are positive displacement pumps that achieve gas compression or vacuum suction through a pair of meshing rotors, and are widely used in industrial gas transportation. The main components of traditional Roots pumps (such as the pump body, end covers, and rotors) are mostly made of cast iron or carbon steel, and the sealing system relies on labyrinth piston ring seals and skeleton oil seals. Existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0003] (1) Insufficient corrosion resistance of materials: Cast iron and carbon steel are easily corroded by corrosive gases, resulting in short pump life and high maintenance costs;

[0004] (2) Poor sealing reliability: Labyrinth seals and skeleton oil seals are prone to failure in high temperature or corrosive media, resulting in lubricating oil contamination or gas leakage;

[0005] (3) Casting process limitations: Stainless steel casting is difficult and has problems such as cold shuts, hot cracks, and compositional segregation, resulting in low yield and high cost;

[0006] (4) Insufficient temperature rise control: Traditional pump bodies lack efficient cooling systems, and the rotor temperature rises significantly under high pressure differential conditions, which can easily lead to thermal deformation and jamming.

[0007] Some existing technologies propose using ceramic coatings to improve the corrosion resistance of Roots pumps, but this does not address the overall corrosion resistance of the material. Other solutions using a split-type cast stainless steel pump body do not optimize the sealing structure and still rely on complex casting processes. Therefore, existing technologies have not yet achieved a comprehensive solution that optimizes both low-cost processing of stainless steel materials and the synergistic optimization of sealing and cooling.

[0067] This utility model relates to a stainless steel Roots vacuum pump, the implementation steps of which are as follows:

[0068] 1. Material preparation: Select 304 or 316L stainless steel plates with a thickness of 3-10mm, and cut them into splicing units by CNC.

[0070] 3. Welding and assembly: Position the splicing units in the welding fixture and use TIG welding for segmented welding, with weld gaps ≤0.2mm.

[0071] 4. Heat treatment: initial heat treatment after welding (hold at 650℃ for 2 hours, furnace cooling to 300℃ and then air cooling); secondary heat treatment after finishing (hold at 400℃ for 1 hour to eliminate residual stress).

[0072] 5. Installation of sealing and cooling systems:

[0073] 5.1 The end cover is equipped with a composite sealing component to ensure that the gap between the ceramic bushing and the spindle is ≤0.05mm;

[0074] 5.2 Connect the cooling water diaphragm to the external circulation pump, with a water flow rate ≥ 20 L / min.

[0075] Working principle:

[0076] This utility model provides a stainless steel Roots vacuum pump, comprising a pump body made of stainless steel welded parts, and a pair of rotors made of stainless steel welded parts disposed within the pump body for pump suction and exhaust. End caps at both ends of the pump body form the pump's suction and exhaust chambers, and lubrication oil tanks are respectively disposed on the outer sides of the end caps. A pair of synchronous gears are disposed within the lubrication oil tank at one end of the pump body, and a mechanical seal for the main shaft outlet is disposed within the lubrication oil tank at the other end. Four dynamic sealing assemblies are disposed within the end caps on both sides of the pump body, and four bearing seats are also disposed within the end caps, each housing ball bearings to support the two rotors within the pump body. The air inlet is located directly above the pump body, and the exhaust port is located directly below the pump body. A fully enclosed cooling water baffle is disposed outside the pump body, which can effectively cool the rotors inside the pump.

[0077] The pair of stainless steel welded rotors installed in the pump body are made of stainless steel plates through CNC cutting, welding, heat treatment, rough machining, heat treatment, and precision machining processes, and must undergo a strict dynamic balance test before assembly.

[0078] The external curved surface profiles of the aforementioned pair of rotors are composed of meshing involutes and circular arcs. This ensures that the curved surfaces of the two rotors maintain a good meshing clearance during operation, preventing backflow of the pumped gas and ensuring that the Roots pump has higher pumping efficiency.

[0079] The internal dynamic seal of the end cover is a composite seal consisting of a skeleton oil seal, a ceramic bushing, a sealing ring, a piston ring, a piston ring sleeve, a sealing ring bushing, and an oil baffle. Its purpose is twofold: first, to better prevent the pumped gas from entering the lubricating oil tanks at both ends of the pump body and contaminating the pump's lubricating oil; and second, to prevent the lubricating oil at both ends of the pump body from entering the pump's suction chamber, thus avoiding contamination of the transported gas by the lubricating oil.

[0080] The end cover is surrounded by a cooling water jacket to cool the seals, bearings, lubricating oil in the lubricating oil tank, synchronous gears, and mechanical seals at the output end of the main shaft.

[0081] This invention utilizes a stainless steel pump body and improves the dynamic seal structure of the end cover and the main shaft extension end of the Roots pump. A cooling water chamber is incorporated into the pump body casing, significantly reducing the temperature of the Roots pump and avoiding various defects of traditional Roots pumps such as temperature rise, jamming, oil leakage, and overload during high-pressure differential operation. This stainless steel Roots pump is particularly suitable for pumping and conveying corrosive gases in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and lithium battery manufacturing.

[0082] This invention follows the compressibility characteristics of gas. It can be used individually or connected in series with each stage of the Roots pump at a certain gas volume ratio, from small to large. When multiple Roots pumps are connected in series to form a pump set, it offers higher delivery pressure differential, greater compression ratio, higher gas delivery efficiency, and larger gas delivery volume compared to using a single Roots pump, further expanding the application range of Roots pumps.

[0083] In summary, this utility model uses a stainless steel pump body, which is suitable for pumping various corrosive chemical gases; the pump body and end cover are all covered by cooling water, resulting in lower temperature rise and longer service life of the seals during operation; it is suitable for high pressure differential operation and has a wider range of applications.

[0084] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
