Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of molecular pumps, and in particular to a cooling mechanism of a molecular pump. Background Art

[0002] A molecular pump consists of a pump shaft and a stator. The pump shaft rotates at high speed, constantly colliding with gas molecules, transferring momentum to the gas molecules, which in turn enables the molecules to move along the direction of the blades, thereby achieving vacuum. Therefore, the molecular pump generates a large amount of heat during operation. The accumulated heat will intensify the violent movement of gas molecules, affecting the molecular pump's pumping rate. It will also damage the molecular pump's internal parts, such as seals, electronic components, and bearings, thereby reducing the pump's service life.

[0003] In the existing technology, a water pipe is wound around the outside of the pump body, and cooling liquid is passed into the water pipe, and then the pump is cooled by water cooling, or a fan is set outside the pump body to achieve air cooling of the pump; however, the structures of these two cooling methods are too simple, with poor stability, and the contact area with the pump body is limited, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and low cooling efficiency for the pump body.

[0004] Therefore, the molecular pump cooling device in the prior art has room for further improvement. Summary of the Invention

It can simultaneously perform air cooling and water cooling on the pump shaft part to ensure the cooling efficiency of the pump shaft.

At the same time, a water cooling channel and an air cooling channel are provided on the base. The water cooling channel can allow the cooling liquid to flow through, and the air cooling channel can allow the gas to flow through. Thus, the pump shaft and the motor of the molecular pump can be water-cooled and air-cooled simultaneously, with double-effect cooling, improving the cooling efficiency of the pump shaft. And by arranging the water cooling and air cooling channels on the base, the stability of the cooling channels can be ensured.

Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting this application.

[0033] The present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 7 illustrate.

[0034] The present application provides a cooling mechanism 2 of a molecular pump (hereinafter referred to as the cooling mechanism), which is connected to the bottom of a pump casing 1 of the molecular pump and is sleeved on the outside of a pump shaft 3, so that the motor 4 and the pump shaft 3 are both located inside the cooling mechanism 2, and then the cooling mechanism 2 can cool the motor 4 and the pump shaft 3, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the molecular pump and reducing the impact of high temperature on the working efficiency and service life of the molecular pump.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the cooling mechanism 2 includes a base 21, a bottom plate 5 and legs. The base 21 is connected to the bottom of the pump housing 1, and the bottom plate 5 is connected to the bottom of the base 21; the legs 6 are connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 5, and the legs 6 are provided in at least three numbers. The three legs 6 are distributed along the same circumference to support the bottom plate 5 and raise the molecular pump.

[0036] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the base 21 is provided with a mounting channel 211 for mounting the pump shaft 3 and the motor 4, the output end of the motor 4 is connected to the pump shaft 3, the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the base 21, and the end of the pump shaft 3 away from the motor 4 passes through the base 21; then, in the projection of the central axis, the projection of the motor 4 overlaps with the projection of the base 21, and the pump shaft 3 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the base 21.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, a water cooling channel 22 and an air cooling channel 23 are provided on the base 21. The water cooling channel 22 is used for supplying cooling liquid, and the air cooling channel 23 is used for supplying cooling gas. Then, the pump shaft 3 and the motor 4 of the molecular pump can be water-cooled and air-cooled at the same time, and dual-effect cooling is achieved to improve the cooling effect of the molecular pump. The water cooling channel 22 and the air cooling channel 23 are spaced apart along the axial direction, that is, the water cooling channel 22 and the air cooling channel 23 are arranged up and down, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the water cooling channel 22 is arranged at the upper end of the air cooling channel 23, the water cooling channel 22 is correspondingly arranged on the periphery of the pump shaft 3, and the air cooling channel 23 is correspondingly arranged on the periphery of the motor 4 and the pump shaft 3, thereby increasing the cooling area of ​​the rotor and the motor 4 in the axial direction and improving the cooling efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the water cooling channel 22 is arranged around the outer periphery of the pump shaft 3 with the central axis of the pump shaft 3 as the reference line, thereby forming a cooling circle on the outer periphery of the pump shaft 3 to improve the cooling effect of the pump shaft 3; Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the air cooling channel 23 radially penetrates the base 21 so that the gas can directly flow to the central axis, directly exchange heat with the motor 4 and remove the heat of the motor 4, thereby ensuring a cooling effect on the motor 4.

[0039] Specifically, the water cooling channel 22 is further described; Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown in Figure 7 , the water cooling channel 22 includes a cooling part 221, a liquid inlet part 222 and a liquid outlet part 223. The cooling part 221 is of an annular channel structure. The cooling part 221 is arranged around the outer circumference of the pump shaft 3. The inner diameter of the cooling part 221 is larger than the inner diameter of the installation channel 211, and the outer diameter of the cooling part 221 is smaller than the outer diameter of the base 21. And the cooling part 221 is arranged close to the pump shaft 3 to ensure the cooling effect on the pump shaft 3. Among them, the liquid inlet part 222 and the liquid outlet part 223 are of straight channel structures, and both the liquid inlet part 222 and the liquid outlet part 223 are arranged parallel to the radial direction. One end of the liquid inlet part 222 is connected to the cooling part 221, and the other end opens outside the base 21 and is connected to the liquid supply place to be used for guiding the cooling liquid into the cooling part 221. One end of the liquid outlet part 223 is connected to the cooling part 221, and the other end opens outside the base 21 and is connected to the liquid return place to be used for recovering the cooling liquid after heat absorption, which is convenient for recycling after re-cooling treatment.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the liquid inlet part 222, the liquid outlet part 223 and the cooling part 221 are arranged in the same axial plane, that is, the projections of the liquid inlet part 222, the liquid outlet part 223 and the cooling part 221 on the central axis overlap. In this embodiment, the cooling part 221 is a regular circular ring structure. Among them, if the chord length of the liquid inlet part 222 on the outer ring of the cooling part 221 is L1, the chord length of the liquid outlet part 223 on the outer ring of the cooling part 221 is L3, the chord length of the interval part between the liquid inlet part 222 and the liquid outlet part 223 on the outer ring of the cooling part 221 is L2, the outer diameter of the cooling part 221 is R, and the angle of the cooling part 221 is θ. Among them, 0 < (L1 + L2 + L3) < R, θ = 360° - 2arcsin((L1 + L2 + L3) / R), and 360° > θ > 180°, that is, it is necessary to ensure that the angle of the cooling part 221 is greater than 180°, and then ensure the cooling efficiency of the pump shaft 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the angle of the cooling part 221 is preferably 300° to 340°, and can be any one of 310°, 320°, 330° to ensure the maximum cooling area and maximum efficiency for the outer circumference of the pump shaft 3.

[0042] It should be noted that the liquid inlet part 222 and the liquid outlet part 223 are respectively connected to both ends of the cooling part 221, and the liquid inlet part 222 and the liquid outlet part 223 do not communicate with each other and interfere with each other, so that the cooling liquid can flow along the flow path of the liquid inlet part 222, the cooling part 221, and the liquid outlet part 223.

[0043] Among them, as Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the cooling portion 221 is provided with an opening on the base 21, and the cooling portion 221 is a perfect circular structure. The open end of the cooling portion 221 is provided with a cover, which is used to seal the opening of the cooling portion 221; so that the cooling portion 221 can be formed by opening a circular groove on the base 21 and setting a cover, which can simplify the processing difficulty of the base 21, reduce costs and improve manufacturing efficiency; and in such a structure, as Figure 3 As shown, the liquid outlet portion 223 and the liquid inlet portion 222 are arranged side by side in parallel, and the distance between the two is controlled to be small to ensure that the effective use of the cooling portion 221 is maximized; wherein, a sealing member 224 is provided in the cooling portion 221 corresponding to the interval between the liquid inlet portion 222 and the liquid outlet portion 223, and the sealing member 224 can separate the circular cooling portion 221 into an open C-shaped annular structure, so that the liquid inlet portion 222 and the liquid outlet portion 223 can be exactly connected at the two ends of the cooling portion 221, completing the streamline of liquid inlet, cooling and liquid outlet.

[0044] like Figure 2 、 Figure 7 As shown, the cover includes a sealing ring 26, a mounting ring 27 and a sealing ring 28. The sealing ring 26, the mounting ring 27 and the sealing ring 28 are all annular structures and are coaxially arranged; the radial length of the sealing ring 26 is equal to or slightly less than or slightly greater than the radial length of the cooling portion 221, preferably equal to or greater than, so that the sealing ring 26 can extend into the cooling portion 221 and seal the bottom opening of the cooling portion 221 so that the cooling liquid cannot flow out; wherein, the mounting ring 27 is connected to the bottom of the sealing ring 26, the radial length of the sealing ring 26 is greater than the radial length of the sealing ring 26 and the cooling portion 221, and the two ends of the mounting ring 27 protrude radially relative to the two ends of the sealing ring 26, so that the cover forms an inverted T-shaped structure; a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the protruding portion of the mounting ring 27, and a corresponding plurality of matching holes are provided on the base 21. The mounting holes and the matching holes are coaxially arranged for the insertion of the same screw, thereby achieving a stable connection between the cover and the base 21.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, two sealing rings 28 are provided, and the two sealing rings 28 are respectively arranged at the protruding parts at both ends of the mounting ring 27 and located between the mounting ring 27 and the base 21, thereby achieving sealing of the radial ends of the cooling part 221 and ensuring the sealing effect of the cover on the cooling part 221.

[0046] In another optional embodiment of the present application, the cooling portion 221 is a spiral structure. The cooling portion 221 is spirally wound with the central axis of the pump shaft 3 as the reference line, that is, the projections of various parts of the cooling portion 221 on the central axis do not completely overlap, so that the axial setting height and the circumferential setting angle of the cooling portion 221 can be increased, that is, an angle setting of more than 360° can be achieved to increase the cooling effect; at the same time, the liquid inlet portion 222 and the liquid outlet portion 223 are respectively connected to the two ends of the cooling portion 221, and can be distributed along the axial direction, so that there is no need to set a cover and a sealing member 224, and the cooling effect of the water-cooling channel 22 can also be guaranteed.

[0047] In this embodiment, the base 21 can be manufactured by casting, injection molding, powder metallurgy, etc.

[0048] Based on any of the above embodiments, the air cooling channel 23 is further described; Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 6 As shown, there are at least two air cooling channels 23, preferably multiple air cooling channels 23; there is an angle between two adjacent air cooling channels 23, that is, the air cooling channels 23 penetrate the base 21 in the radial direction, and the two adjacent air cooling channels 23 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction, thereby increasing the number of air cooling channels 23 and the heat exchange effect; at the same time, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the intersection of multiple air cooling channels 23 is on the central axis of the base 21, which can ensure that the gas flows toward the pump shaft 3 and the motor 4 to take away heat and improve the cooling effect.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of heat dissipation columns 24 are provided at the bottom of the mounting base. The heat dissipation columns 24 are block-shaped structures. The length extension direction of the heat dissipation columns 24 is parallel to the radial direction, and an air-cooling channel 23 is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation columns 24. There are multiple heat dissipation columns 24, and the multiple heat dissipation columns 24 are distributed along the same circumference. Among them, the outer diameter of the heat dissipation column 24 is the same as the outer diameter of the base 21, and the inner diameter of the heat dissipation column 24 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cooling portion 221 to reserve space for the cover.

[0050] like Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the air-cooling channel 23 includes an axial part and a radial part; the axial part is located below the motor 4 and opens at the bottom of the base 21; multiple radial parts are provided, and the multiple radial parts are arranged around the outer periphery of the axial part and are radially connected to the axial part; wherein, the inner end surfaces of the multiple heat dissipation columns 24 form the axial part, and the radial part is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation columns 24. The radial part is arranged circumferentially outside the axial part and is connected to the axial part; the diameter of the axial part is larger than the outer diameters of the motor 4 and the cooling part 221; a bottom plate 5 is provided at the bottom of the heat dissipation column 24, and the bottom plate 5 is connected to the heat dissipation column 24 by screws or bolts. The outer diameter of the bottom plate 5 is the same as the set outer diameter of the heat dissipation column 24. The bottom plate 5 blocks the opening at the bottom of the heat dissipation column 24 to ensure the radial flow path of the cold air channel; wherein, a ventilation port is provided on the bottom plate 5, and the ventilation port penetrates the bottom plate 5 axially. The ventilation port is connected to the axial part formed by the heat dissipation column 24. The ventilation port is located at the bottom of the axial part, so that gas can flow axially from the ventilation port to the axial part. The motor 4 is located above the axial part. The gas带走电机4热量,再从轴向部沿径向流向径向部,继而流出底座21,以实现对电机4的风冷降温。 [[ID=*]]Note: The part '带走电机4热量' seems to be incorrect in the original Chinese. It should be something like 'carries away the heat of the motor 4'.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the cooling mechanism 2 further includes a fan 25. The fan 25 is provided at the bottom of the bottom plate 5 and is located below the ventilation port. The fan 25 is used to generate suction to suck external air into the ventilation port, thereby accelerating the flow rate of the cooling gas and improving the air-cooling effect. The outer diameter of the fan 25 is larger than the diameter of the ventilation port, so that the fan 25 can be fixedly connected to the bottom plate 5 through connecting parts such as bolts; and the diameter of the ventilation port is smaller than the diameter of the axial part to ensure the complete supporting effect of the bottom plate 5 on the heat dissipation column 24.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 5 shown, the distance from one end of the radial part close to the central axis is D1, and the distance from the other end of the radial part far from the central axis is D2, D1 < D2. That is, in the same radial direction, the width of the radial part gradually expands outwards, so that the radial part of the air-cooling channel 23 is a fan-shaped structure. When the gas at the center of the pump shaft 3 carries heat and flows outwards, the flow diameter of the gas becomes larger, which can reduce the gas flow rate and reduce the impact of the heat-carrying gas on the equipment and personnel, improving the use safety.

[0053] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the base 21 is further described; as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the base 21 is also provided with an air inlet channel 212 and an exhaust channel 213; the air inlet channel 212 is an L-shaped structure, which includes a first air inlet portion and a second air inlet portion; the first air inlet portion is arranged parallel to the radial direction, one end of the first air inlet portion is opened on the outer wall of the base 21, and the other end is opened on the mounting channel 211, so as to guide the protective gas to the cavity where the pump shaft 3 and the motor 4 are located, thereby protecting the lower part of the pump shaft 3 and the motor 4 and improving the service life of the molecular pump; the second air inlet portion is arranged parallel to the axis, the bottom of the second air inlet portion is connected to the mounting channel 211, and the top of the second air inlet portion is opened at the top of the base 21, the first air inlet portion and the second air inlet portion are connected through the mounting channel 211, and the protective gas enters the second air inlet portion after entering the mounting channel 211, and enters the top of the base 21 along the second air inlet portion, so as to protect the bearings on the base 21, the upper part of the pump shaft 3 and other parts.

[0054] One end of the exhaust channel 213 opens at the upper end surface of the base 21 , and the other end opens at the outer wall of the base 21 , and is used to discharge the compressed gas in the molecular pump along a specific path.

[0055] It should be noted that the various embodiments of the present application can be arbitrarily combined into new embodiments if the solutions do not conflict and the technical solutions can coexist.
