Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular pump technology, and more specifically to a turbomolecular pump. Background Technology

[0002] A molecular pump is a vacuum pump that uses a high-speed rotating rotor to transfer momentum to gas molecules, giving them directional velocity, thus compressing them and driving them towards the exhaust port for removal by the forestage pump. A traction molecular pump uses gas molecules that collide with a high-speed rotating rotor to gain momentum and are driven to the pump outlet. A turbomolecular pump achieves pumping by the interaction of high-speed rotating moving blades and stationary fixed blades. This type of pump typically operates in a molecular flow state. A compound molecular pump is a composite molecular vacuum pump that combines a turbomolecular pump and a traction molecular pump in series.

By moving the height of the arc-shaped clamping rod, the protection is adjusted according to the length of the motor shaft, improving protection efficiency. The movement of the lifting sleeve moves the buffer block, which in turn compresses the buffer spring and moves the locking rod, improving the rotational stability of the lifting shaft.

[0019] (2) By moving the stabilizing slide bar, the stabilizing slider moves, which in turn stretches the stabilizing spring, further improving the stability of the threaded block's movement, which in turn improves the rotational stability of the adjusting shaft, thereby improving the stability of the arc-shaped clamp rod's movement; by moving the threaded block, the rack moves, which in turn rotates the gear; by moving the moving rope, the balance sleeve moves, which in turn stretches the balance spring; by moving the power block, the balance vertical rod moves, which in turn stretches the balance spring in both directions, improving the stability of the threaded block's movement; and by moving the threaded block, the rotational stability of the adjusting shaft is achieved.
