[0047] The technical solution of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "corresponding" may indicate a direct or indirect correspondence between the two, or an association between the two, or a relationship of indication and being indicated, configuration and being configured, etc.

[0049] Figure 1 The structure diagram of an autonomous regulating system in which the rotation speed varies with the vacuum degree is shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The autonomous regulating system includes a controller, a molecular pump and a vacuum gauge.

[0050] The controller and the molecular pump are connected together through a connecting plate and a connecting strip, the molecular pump is connected to a test chamber, the vacuum gauge is connected to the test chamber and is connected to the controller to form a signal feedback loop;

[0051] The molecular pump is used to perform a pumping operation on the test chamber;

[0052] The vacuum gauge is used to obtain the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber in real time and feed the actual vacuum degree back to the controller;

[0053] The controller is used to obtain a target vacuum degree, and after the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches a rated rotation speed, based on a comparison result between the target vacuum degree and an actual vacuum degree fed back by the vacuum gauge, performs at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control on the molecular pump to realize a constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump.

[0054] Optionally, the main body of the molecular pump is also provided with an exhaust port and an air inlet, wherein the exhaust port is connected to the front-stage pump to assist in performing a vacuum operation on the test chamber and the main body of the molecular pump to achieve a pre-pumping effect, thereby satisfying the starting working conditions of the molecular pump; the air inlet is connected to the test chamber, and the vacuum operation on the test chamber is assisted by the air inlet.

[0055] Optionally, the controller is provided with a power supply connection serial port for connecting an external power supply, and the controller is driven by the external power supply to put the molecular pump into a working state.

[0056] Optionally, the processor in the controller may be a central processing unit (CPU), which may be a single-chip microcomputer chip to implement acceleration control and deceleration control of the molecular pump without the need for assistance from other equipment or a separate platform, and has a simple structure and convenient and fast connection.

[0057] Optionally, in actual applications, the user may first connect the molecular pump, vacuum gauge, controller and the equipment that needs to be evacuated (i.e., the above-mentioned test chamber), and then check the vacuum tightness of the autonomous adjustment system whose rotation speed changes with the vacuum degree. When there is no problem with the vacuum tightness of the autonomous adjustment system, the controller is driven by an external power supply to determine the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump and set the target vacuum degree. The vacuum gauge measures the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber in real time. After the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated speed, the controller performs acceleration control and / or deceleration control on the molecular pump based on the comparison result between the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree fed back by the vacuum gauge.

[0058] After a certain period of time, the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber will reach the target vacuum degree. At this time, even if the user inflates the test chamber, the molecular pump will automatically adjust the speed according to the pressure change to keep the vacuum degree in the test chamber constant. Therefore, the vacuum degree in the test chamber can be quickly adjusted to the target vacuum degree, which is simple to operate and reduces the impact on the molecular pump.

[0059] Optionally, when the user does not need the molecular pump to be in constant pressure working mode, the user can actively turn off the constant pressure working mode. At this time, the molecular pump will default to constant speed working mode and maintain rated speed operation; or directly switch the constant pressure working mode to constant speed working mode.

[0060] In summary, the present application first obtains the target vacuum degree through the controller, and when the speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated speed, the vacuum gauge obtains the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber in real time; based on the comparison result of the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree, the molecular pump is subjected to at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control to realize the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump. In the above scheme, the vacuum pump can self-regulate the speed according to the vacuum degree data fed back by the vacuum gauge, so that the vacuum degree in the test chamber can be quickly adjusted to the target vacuum degree, without the assistance of other equipment, and without the need to build a separate platform, etc. It is convenient and fast, and reduces the impact on the molecular pump, avoids excessive heat generation of the molecular pump, and improves the safety and reliability of the molecular pump, which is of great significance for the actual production and processing technology.

[0061] Figure 2 is a method flow chart showing a method for autonomously adjusting the rotation speed as the vacuum degree changes according to an exemplary embodiment.

Figure 2 As shown, the method for autonomously adjusting the rotation speed as the vacuum degree changes may include the following steps:

[0062] S201, obtaining a target vacuum degree.

[0063] In a possible implementation, when a molecular pump in an autonomous regulating system whose rotation speed varies with vacuum degree is switched to a constant pressure operating mode, a controller in the autonomous regulating system first obtains a target vacuum degree; wherein the target vacuum degree can be pre-set according to an actual application scenario.

[0064] S202. When the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated rotation speed, the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber is obtained; the actual vacuum degree is collected in real time by a vacuum gauge.

[0065] In one possible implementation, after setting the target vacuum degree of the test chamber, the molecular pump is driven to operate. When the speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated speed, the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber is collected in real time by a vacuum gauge, and the actual vacuum degree is fed back to the controller through a control loop, and the controller receives the actual vacuum degree.

[0066] S203: Based on the comparison result between the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree, perform at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control on the molecular pump to realize a constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump.

[0067] In a possible implementation, after the controller obtains the actual vacuum degree, it compares the actual vacuum degree with the target vacuum degree, and continuously performs acceleration control and / or deceleration control on the molecular pump based on the comparison result, thereby realizing the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump.

[0068] In summary, the method is executed by a controller in an autonomous regulating system in which the rotation speed changes with the vacuum degree, and the autonomous regulating system also includes a molecular pump and a vacuum gauge. The method includes: first obtaining the target vacuum degree, and when the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated rotation speed, the vacuum gauge obtains the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber in real time; based on the comparison result of the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree, the molecular pump is subjected to at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control to realize the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump. In the above scheme, the vacuum pump can self-regulate the rotation speed according to the vacuum degree data fed back by the vacuum gauge, so that the vacuum degree in the test chamber can be quickly adjusted to the target vacuum degree, without the assistance of other equipment, and without the need to build a separate platform, etc. It is convenient and fast, and reduces the impact on the molecular pump, avoids excessive heat generation of the molecular pump, and improves the safety and reliability of the molecular pump, which is of great significance for the actual production and processing technology.

[0069] Figure 3 is a method flow chart showing a method for autonomously adjusting the rotation speed as the vacuum degree changes according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 The controller in the autonomous regulating system of the speed changing with the vacuum degree is executed, and the autonomous regulating system of the speed changing with the vacuum degree also includes a molecular pump and a vacuum gauge; the controller is connected to the molecular pump through a connecting plate and a connecting strip, the molecular pump is connected to the test chamber, the vacuum gauge is connected to the test chamber and connected to the controller to form a signal feedback loop. Figure 3 As shown, the method for autonomously adjusting the rotation speed as the vacuum degree changes may include the following steps:

[0070] S301, obtaining a target vacuum degree.

[0071] S302. When the autonomous regulating system whose rotation speed varies with the vacuum degree is set to a constant pressure working mode and the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches a rated rotation speed, the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber is obtained; the actual vacuum degree is collected in real time by a vacuum gauge.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the user can switch the working mode of the autonomous adjustment system in which the speed changes with the vacuum degree according to actual needs, and realize the selection of constant pressure working mode and constant speed working mode. In the constant pressure working mode, when the speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated speed, the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber is collected in real time by the vacuum gauge, and the actual vacuum degree is adjusted according to the target vacuum degree to maintain a constant vacuum pressure in the test chamber, which is convenient for users to carry out production and processing technology under constant vacuum pressure.

[0073] S303: When the actual vacuum degree is higher than the target vacuum degree, perform deceleration control on the molecular pump to reduce the actual vacuum degree to the target vacuum degree.

[0074] Furthermore, after the controller obtains the target vacuum degree in the test chamber and the actual vacuum degree fed back by the vacuum gauge, based on the comparison result of the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree, at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control is performed on the molecular pump to realize the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump.

[0075] S304: When the actual vacuum degree is lower than the target vacuum degree, perform acceleration control on the molecular pump to increase the actual vacuum degree to the target vacuum degree.

[0076] Furthermore, the controller analyzes the comparison result of the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree. When the actual vacuum degree is higher than the target vacuum degree, the rotation speed of the molecular pump is reduced to reduce the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber to the target vacuum degree; and when the actual vacuum degree is lower than the target vacuum degree, the rotation speed of the molecular pump is increased to increase the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber to the target vacuum degree.

[0077] In a possible implementation, obtaining a target adjustable range of the target vacuum degree;

[0078] When the actual vacuum degree is not within the target adjustable range, at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control is performed on the molecular pump.

[0079] In a possible implementation manner, the target adjustable range is [target vacuum degree - 10%, target vacuum degree + 10%].

[0080] In a possible implementation, based on the target adjustable range, a maximum adjustable threshold value (the maximum adjustable threshold value is the target vacuum degree + 10%) and a minimum adjustable threshold value (the minimum adjustable threshold value is the target vacuum degree + 10%) of the target vacuum degree are obtained;

[0081] When the actual vacuum degree is higher than the maximum adjustable threshold value (the maximum adjustable threshold value is the target vacuum degree + 10%), the rotation speed of the molecular pump is reduced by 10% to reduce the actual vacuum degree to within the target adjustable range;

[0082] When the actual vacuum is lower than the minimum adjustable threshold (the minimum adjustable threshold is the target vacuum+10%), the rotation speed of the molecular pump is accelerated by 10% to increase the actual vacuum to within the target adjustable range.

[0083] In a possible implementation, when the actual vacuum degree is within the target adjustable range, the target rotation speed of the molecular pump is kept unchanged.

[0084] For further information, please refer to Figure 4A method flow chart of a method for autonomously adjusting the speed as the vacuum degree changes is shown. Figure 4 As shown, in actual application, after the user turns on the machine, the program of the self-regulating system is initialized, and the working mode of the molecular pump is selected. When the working mode of the selected molecular pump is the constant pressure working mode, the target vacuum degree P0 is set first. After the molecular pump starts and reaches the rated speed, by comparing the actual vacuum degree P1 in the current test chamber with the target vacuum degree P0, the controller automatically adjusts the molecular pump to accelerate or decelerate, so that the actual vacuum degree P1 is constantly close to the target vacuum degree P0, and finally reaches the state of 0.9*P0≤P1≤1.1*P0, so as to realize the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump; specifically, if the vacuum gauge reading (actual vacuum degree P1) is greater than P0×110%, the speed of the molecular pump is accelerated by 10%, until the vacuum gauge reading is less than P0×110%, the molecular pump maintains the current speed unchanged and runs stably until the molecular pump stops; if the vacuum gauge reading (actual vacuum degree P1) is less than P0×90%, the speed of the molecular pump is decelerated by 10%, until the vacuum gauge reading is greater than or equal to P0×110%, the molecular pump maintains the current speed unchanged and runs stably until the molecular pump stops.

[0085] If the actual vacuum degree P1 in the test chamber has reached the vicinity of the target vacuum degree P0, the molecular pump will continue to automatically adjust the speed to maintain P1≤P0*±10% by performing operations such as inflating the test chamber to change the vacuum degree.

[0086] S305. When the self-regulating system whose speed varies with the vacuum degree is set to a constant speed working mode, and when the speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated speed, the molecular pump maintains the rated speed and operates stably to realize the constant speed working mode of the molecular pump.

[0087] In a possible implementation, if the user does not want to use the constant pressure working function of the molecular pump, the user can actively turn off the constant pressure working mode or directly switch to the constant speed working mode. At this time, the molecular pump will default to the constant speed working mode and maintain the rated speed.

[0088] In summary, the method is executed by a controller in an autonomous regulating system in which the rotation speed changes with the vacuum degree, and the autonomous regulating system also includes a molecular pump and a vacuum gauge. The method includes: first obtaining the target vacuum degree, and when the rotation speed of the molecular pump reaches the rated rotation speed, the vacuum gauge obtains the actual vacuum degree in the test chamber in real time; based on the comparison result of the target vacuum degree and the actual vacuum degree, the molecular pump is subjected to at least one of acceleration control and deceleration control to realize the constant pressure working mode of the molecular pump. In the above scheme, the vacuum pump can self-regulate the rotation speed according to the vacuum degree data fed back by the vacuum gauge, so that the vacuum degree in the test chamber can be quickly adjusted to the target vacuum degree, without the assistance of other equipment, and without the need to build a separate platform, etc. It is convenient and fast, and reduces the impact on the molecular pump, avoids excessive heat generation of the molecular pump, and improves the safety and reliability of the molecular pump, which is of great significance for the actual production and processing technology.
