Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ion pumps, and in particular relates to a detachable compact ion pump. Background Art

[0002] The ion pump is a gas capture pump. Compared with the mechanical rotor pump, it has no physical parts in relative motion, does not require vacuum pump oil lubrication, is an oil-free clean pump, and is free of vibration and noise caused by moving parts. -9 Pa level, so it is widely used in high-end scientific devices such as heavy ion accelerators, synchrotron radiation sources, and space environment simulation devices. Ion pumps use Penning discharge to make electrons make long-term spiral motion in the anode area to increase the collision ionization probability of gas molecules. At the same time, the ionized gas ions collide with the cathode plate to sputter active atoms such as titanium. These titanium atoms are layered on the anode to form a gas adsorption film layer, which adsorbs the gas to be pumped to achieve the purpose of vacuuming. The simplest structural form of an ion pump can be realized with only an anode cylinder, a pair of parallel cathode plates, and a horseshoe-shaped permanent magnet.

[0003] The magnetic field of an ion pump is usually generated by a permanent magnet. The two magnets are separated by a pumping chamber shell, a cathode plate, and an anode cylinder. The magnetic gap is large and the magnetic potential drops quickly. In order to make the magnetic field strength at the anode cylinder meet the use requirements, previous patents have the following practices: first, a yoke assembly is used (such as Chinese patents with application numbers 201910142821.1 and 201910822526.0), but the yoke assembly can only shrink the magnetic lines of force inside the yoke, and the improvement of the magnetic field strength at the anode cylinder in the gap area is limited; second, the magnetic field strength of the permanent magnet is increased or the length of the magnet is increased, but it will make the ion pump too bulky and the cost will increase, narrowing the application range and use occasions of the ion pump; third, the length of the anode cylinder is shortened, so that the gap length is shortened to increase the magnetic field strength at the anode cylinder, but this will reduce the pumping speed of the ion pump.

[0004] In addition, after the ion pump has been used for a long time, the titanium film covering the anode cylinder becomes thicker and there is a risk of it falling off if not handled, which will cause consequences such as equipment short circuit. After long-term use, the cathode plate will have problems such as breakdown and air suction cracking. The performance of the magnet will degrade at high temperatures or for a long time, affecting the pumping speed of the ion pump. Therefore, the anode cylinder, cathode plate, and magnet require regular maintenance. However, the existing ion pump vacuum chamber adopts a fully welded closed structure, and the magnet is on the outside of the vacuum chamber shell. Among the above three, only the magnet can be quickly assembled and disassembled in the existing ion pump structure, which is inconvenient for inspection and maintenance. Summary of the invention
