The rotary transmission shaft 1 is connected to the wear-resistant sealing bushing 2, and two O-ring seals 3 are provided between the wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 and the rotary transmission shaft 1. The wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 is connected to the lip seals 9, and the three lip seals 9 are connected to the bearings 6 on their left and right sides, respectively. The two bearings 6 are connected to the housing 10, and the housing 10 is connected to the insulating sleeve 12. The insulating sleeve 12 is connected to the transmission shaft fixing seat 15, and the transmission shaft fixing seat 15 is fixed to the outside of the vacuum chamber 16. One end of the transmission shaft 1 is connected to a working component 17, and the working component 17 is disposed inside the vacuum chamber 16.

[0021] The wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 is fixed to the outside of the rotating transmission shaft 1 by multiple bolts.

[0022] The wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 is provided with a first fixing ring 4 and a second fixing ring 5 on its right side. The first fixing ring 4 and the second fixing ring 5 are connected by bolts.

[0023] The wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 is connected to the lip seal ring 9. Each end of the three lip seal rings 9 is provided with a sealing ring positioning ring 8. Two O-rings 3 are provided between the two sealing ring positioning rings 8 and the wear-resistant sealing bushing 2. Two O-rings 3 are provided between the two sealing ring positioning rings 8 and the outer shell 10.

[0024] The three lip seals 9 are connected to the bearings 6 on the left and right sides respectively. The left bearing 6 has two shaft spiral retaining rings 7 on both sides. The right bearing 6 is connected to the outer casing end cover 11 on the right side.

[0025] The two bearings 6 are connected to the housing 10, and the housing 10 is fixed to the outside of both bearings 6 and three lip seals 9.

[0026] Two O-rings 3 are provided between the outer shell 10 and the insulating sleeve 12. An insulating sleeve end cap 13 is provided at the left end of the outer shell 10, and the insulating sleeve end cap 13 is connected to the insulating sleeve 12.

[0027] The insulating sleeve 12 is connected to the drive shaft fixing seat 15, and two O-rings 3 are provided between the insulating sleeve 12 and the drive shaft fixing seat 15.

[0028] The drive shaft fixing seat 15 is fixed on the outside of the vacuum chamber 16. The drive shaft fixing seat 15 fixes the rotating drive shaft 1 on the vacuum chamber 16.

[0029] The working component is fixed to one end of the transmission shaft by bolts, and the working component is a lead screw, shaft or target material.

[0030] It should be noted that the present invention is used in accordance with the following steps: When one end of the rotary drive shaft 1 is driven by a motor, the rotary drive shaft 1 drives the working part 17 at the other end to rotate. At the same time, if the working part 17 needs to be cooled, a rotary joint can be externally installed on the shaft of the rotary drive shaft 1, and cooling water can be passed through it to cool it down.

[0031] When the rotary drive shaft 1 rotates, it drives the wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 and the inner rings of bearings 14 and 6 to rotate as well. The wear-resistant sealing bushing 2 replaces the surface of the rotary drive shaft 1 that is worn. The two O-ring seals 3 isolate the air, and the lip seal 9 seals the internal lubricating oil. During operation, if the working part 17 inside the vacuum chamber 16 is a target material, a magnetic field current will be generated. The insulating sleeve 12 blocks the current from flowing to the outer surface of the vacuum chamber 16 and the drive shaft fixing seat 15.

[0032] In summary, the vacuum cavity insulation and sealing rotary transmission assembly of the present invention, by setting wear-resistant sealing bushing 2, bearing 14, bearing 6 and lip seal ring 9, enables the vacuum cavity insulation and sealing rotary transmission assembly to maintain the sealing of the vacuum cavity and the operational stability of the working components. At the same time, there is no need to replace the rotary transmission shaft, only the wear-resistant sealing bushing needs to be replaced, which has a longer service life and is more convenient for maintenance and replacement, thereby saving time, saving costs and making it more convenient.
