Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and more particularly to a stator dustproof component for a turbomolecular pump. Background Art

[0002] A turbomolecular pump is a vacuum pump that uses a high-speed rotating rotor to transfer momentum to gas molecules, causing them to acquire a directional velocity, thereby being compressed and driven toward the exhaust port to be drawn away by the front stage.

[0003] The turbomolecular pump is a high-speed rotating machine. It is a vacuum pump that uses a high-speed rotating impeller to transfer momentum to gas molecules, causing the gas to flow in a directional manner and extract air.

However, due to the air pressure, part of the external airflow will surge back, driving external dust into the interior of the molecular pump and then attaching. The molecular pump has a complex structure and is not easy to disassemble. Secondly, in the molecular pump, since the power supply part included in the control unit has a boost circuit, a conversion circuit, an inverter circuit, etc. as a heat source, it is necessary to dissipate heat inside the molecular pump to prevent the electrical equipment from being deformed due to long-term high temperature conditions.

[0024] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See Figure 1-4 One embodiment of the present invention provides a stator dustproof assembly for a turbomolecular pump, comprising a pump housing 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the interior of the pump casing 1 has a cavity, and a protective net 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the pump casing 1. The protective net 2 plays a certain protective role while screening out some dust. The bottom end of the pump casing 1 is connected to the bottom cover 7 by a thread, and the top of the bottom cover 7 is fixedly installed with a stator 5. The surface of the stator 5 is fixedly connected to a fixed base 9, and the outer periphery of the fixed base 9 is rotatably connected to the rotor 3. A plurality of moving blade groups are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotor 3 at equal intervals from top to bottom, and each moving blade group includes a plurality of moving blades 12, and the plurality of moving blades 12 are axially symmetrically distributed about the vertical center line of the rotor 3. The moving blades 12 are set at 30° to the horizontal center line of the rotor 3, and the rotor 3 and the stator 5 are magnetically suspended.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a gap is left between the rotor 3 and the fixed base 9, and a rigid sleeve assembly 10 is arranged inside the gap. The rigid sleeve assembly 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed base 9. The rigid sleeve assembly 10 includes a rigid sleeve body 1001 and a sleeve guide groove 1002 fixedly installed on the surface of the rigid sleeve body 1001. The sleeve guide groove 1002 is threaded and rotated downward, and the rotation direction of the sleeve guide groove 1002 is consistent with the deflection direction of the moving blade 12.

[0027] During the specific implementation operation, when the rotor 3 rotates, it drives the moving blades 12 to rotate, causing the airflow to rotate downward and flow out through the exhaust port 6, wherein the exhaust port 6 and the outside world circulate with each other, causing part of the airflow to flow back, bringing a small amount of dust into the inner cavity of the pump casing 1, and adhering to the inner wall of the rotor 3 and the outer wall of the fixed base 9. A rigid sleeve assembly 10 is arranged between the fixed base 9 and the rotor 3, wherein the rigid sleeve assembly 10 includes a rigid sleeve body 1001 and a sleeve guide groove 1002, the sleeve guide groove 1002 is threaded and rotated downward, and the rotation direction of the sleeve guide groove 1002 is consistent with the deflection direction of the moving blades 12, and the airflow rotates downward and enters along the notch of the sleeve guide groove 1002. While not affecting the airflow, the sleeve guide groove 1002 is arranged to rotate downward in a threaded manner to prevent the airflow from surging upward, thereby achieving a dust-proof effect.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a static blade group is interspersed between every two moving blade groups, and each of the static blade groups includes a plurality of static blades 4. The number of static blades 4 in each group is equal to the number of moving blades 12, and the positions of the static blades 4 and the moving blades 12 correspond to each other up and down, and the static blades 4 are set at 150° to the horizontal center line of the rotor 3, and each static blade 4 is fixedly connected to the pump casing 1.

[0029] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the guard net 2 is penetrated by multiple groups of through holes, and the bottom end of the guard net 2 is connected to the stator 5 in a rotating manner. The connection between the stator 5 and the guard net 2 is provided with a rigid ball 13 for rotation. Figure 1 As shown, a magnetic levitation motor 8 is installed on the top of the bottom cover 7. The star model of the magnetic levitation motor 8 is F-3000. The magnetic levitation motor 8 is fixedly connected to the pump housing 1. An exhaust port 6 is opened on one side of the pump housing 1.

[0030] In a specific implementation scheme, the main supporting force of the stator 5 comes from the support of the bottom cover 7, but the bottom is also where most of the electrical equipment is installed, which will generate a lot of heat. At the same time, an exhaust port 6 is provided at the bottom for air outlet, and the backflow of air will bring in dust. The stagnant bottom is a gathering place for heat and dust. When it is necessary to screw the bottom cover 7 from the lower end, the rigid ball 13 gives the stator 5 a supporting force to prevent the stator 5 from shifting. At the same time, the rigid ball 13 is rolled and installed between the stator 5 and the protective net 2, and does not hinder the relative rotation of the stator 5 and the protective net 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a central fixing rod 15 and four groups of fixed connecting straight rods 16 are fixedly connected to the surface of the bottom cover 7. The fixed connecting straight rods 16 are arranged in an axially symmetrical distribution about the vertical center line of the central fixing rod 15. The bottom ends of the central fixing rod 15 and the fixed connecting straight rods 16 are flush with the bottom end of the pump casing 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, a cross hole plug 17 is provided between the central fixing rod 15 and the bottom cover 7. The cross hole plug 17 and the central fixing rod 15, and the cross hole plug 17 and the fixed connecting straight rod 16 are arranged in a sliding state. Four groups of heat dissipation holes 11 are opened on the surface of the bottom cover 7. The positions of the heat dissipation holes 11 correspond to the positions of the four end corners of the cross hole plug 17 in the upper and lower directions.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the bottom end of the bottom cover 7 is higher than the bottom end of the pump housing 1, and a plurality of guide holes 14 are opened on the surface of the pump housing 1. Figure 1As shown, the gap thickness between the fixed base 9 and the rotor 3 is set to 10 mm. To ensure the normal operation of the machine, the minimum spacing between the base 9 and the rotor 3 cannot be less than 1.2 mm. Preferably, in this embodiment, the total thickness of the rigid sleeve body 1001 and the sleeve guide groove 1002 is set to less than 8.5 mm. Of course, the size setting here is not unique, as long as the operating conditions are met.

[0034] In a specific implementation scheme, when the molecular pump starts to operate, there is a certain difference in the internal and external air pressure. At the same time, the bottom cover 7 and the bottom end of the pump casing 1 are not set at the same height. The external air pressure squeezes the cross hole plug 17 to slide up, blocking the heat dissipation hole 11 for the molecular pump to work, wherein the center fixing rod 15 and the fixed connecting straight rod 16 guide and fix the up and down movement of the cross hole plug 17. At the same time, the bottom cover 7 can be selected and unscrewed by rotating the cross hole plug 17, thereby cleaning the dust at the bottom end of the pump casing 1. When the molecular pump stops working, the internal and external air pressures are consistent, and the cross hole plug 17 falls due to its own gravity and fits the top end of the center fixing rod 15. At this time, the heat dissipation hole 11 is used to discharge the internal heat of the pump casing 1.

[0035] The advantage of the present invention is that a rigid sleeve assembly is provided between the rotor and the fixed base, the rigid sleeve assembly includes a rigid sleeve body and a sleeve guide groove, the sleeve guide groove is threaded and rotated downward, and the rotation direction of the sleeve guide groove is consistent with the deflection direction of the moving blade, when the rotor rotates, the airflow is driven to rotate downward and enter along the notch of the sleeve guide groove, without affecting the flow of airflow and preventing the airflow from backflow, thereby achieving a dust-proof effect; and, the present invention has a bottom cover connected to the bottom end of the pump casing by a thread, and the bottom cover and the bottom end of the pump casing are set at different heights. When the molecular pump is working, the external air pressure squeezes the cross hole plug to slide up, blocking the heat dissipation holes, and the internal temperature of the molecular pump accumulates. When the molecular pump stops working, the air pressure inside and outside the molecular pump is consistent, and the cross hole plug falls due to its own gravity. The heat dissipation holes are used to discharge the heat inside the pump casing.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
