Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of dry screw vacuum pumps, and particularly relates to a stepped variable-diameter and variable-pitch screw vacuum pump and a rotor structure design method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dry screw vacuum pumps are widely used in the fields of chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors. Compared with vacuum pumps, they have the characteristics of cleanliness, reliable operation, compatibility with particles, and high operating efficiency. Their core component is a pair of meshing rotors. By changing the axial or radial dimensions of the rotors, the volume of the working chamber of the screw vacuum pump is reduced, thereby realizing the internal compression process, which can effectively reduce the power consumption and exhaust temperature of the whole machine. However, at present, the change of the axial or radial dimensions of the screw vacuum pump rotor often relies on continuously changing pitches or outer diameters. This method allows the machining of screw rotors only by turning and milling methods and does not allow the application of forming machining methods, thereby restricting the improvement of rotor machining efficiency and accuracy, resulting in high machining difficulty and cost of existing dry screw vacuum pump rotors. The two-stage stepped variable-pitch rotor can use the forming machining method for the machining of screw rotors, but there is inevitably an interference area, resulting in a large leakage channel in the meshing area of the screw rotor, affecting the pumping speed, energy consumption, and ultimate vacuum of the dry pump. At the same time, the outer diameters of the two-stage screw rotors need to be the same to ensure good sealing performance. Therefore, the existing stepped variable-pitch rotor structure has incomplete space utilization and still has a large room for performance optimization. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a stepped variable diameter and variable pitch screw vacuum pump, which includes two stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotors (a first stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotor 11 and a second stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotor 12) that mesh with each other. The stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotor is divided into two parts, including a high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part on one side for realizing the suction volume increase of the rotor working chamber, and a low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part on the other side for realizing the reduction of the rotor working chamber while reducing the tooth tip leakage line and realizing internal compression while reducing the length of the tooth tip leakage line; different tooth width angles are adopted for the profiles of the high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part and the low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part to enhance the suction capacity of the high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part and the tooth tip sealing capacity of the low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part; the two parts of the profile of the stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotor have the same center distance, the tooth tip radius of the profile of the high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part is greater than that of the low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part, and there is a set distance between the axial structural end faces of the two stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotors. In a possible implementation manner, the two stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotors are arranged inside a sealed vacuum pump housing. The vacuum pump housing includes an upper housing 21 and a lower housing 22 that are split up and down, and a first end cover 31 and a second end cover 32 installed on the left and right sides of the upper housing 21 and the lower housing 22; suction and exhaust holes (a suction hole 210 and an exhaust hole 224) are correspondingly arranged on the upper housing 21 and the lower housing 22, as well as a first eight-shaped outer hole structure 220 and a partition structure 221 with a flow hole 222 that cooperate with the high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part, and a second eight-shaped outer hole structure 223 that cooperates with the low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part; gas flows through the suction hole 210, is compressed and transported through the high outer diameter and high pitch rotor part to the flow hole 222 of the partition structure 221, and then is compressed and transported through the low outer diameter and low pitch rotor part to the exhaust hole 224.

During the high-speed rotation of moving parts such as the rotors, gears, and bearings of the screw vacuum pump, friction will be generated, and lubricating oil is required to reduce wear and lower frictional heat. The oil tank housing provides a storage space for the lubricating oil and transports the lubricating oil to each lubrication point through an oil circuit system to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment. Heat is generated during the compression of gas by the screw vacuum pump. The lubricating oil not only plays a lubricating role but also absorbs and takes away part of the heat to prevent the equipment from overheating. The screw vacuum pump needs to maintain an internal vacuum environment. The oil tank housing can prevent external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the pump, avoiding contaminating the lubricating oil or damaging internal parts. At the same time, oil seals or seals in the oil tank can further prevent the leakage of lubricating oil. In the embodiment of the present invention, the synchronous gear 42 is placed in the first oil tank housing 45, and the motor 41 passes through the first oil tank housing 45 and is connected to the stepped variable pitch and variable diameter rotor; the first oil tank housing 45 and the second oil tank housing 46 are designed according to the oil quantity and cooling requirements.
