Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular pump vibration detection technology, and in particular to a multi-degree-of-freedom vibration testing device for turbomolecular pumps. Background Technology

[0002] A molecular pump is a vacuum-generating device. Its working principle involves the linear velocity of the impellers, which, through high-speed rotation, reaches the thermal motion speed of molecules. Gas, through momentum exchange with the impellers, gains directional velocity and exits the cavity. Magnetic levitation turbomolecular pumps are widely used in various industries due to their advantages such as being oil-free, wear-free, low-noise, and capable of installation at any angle. However, the complex shape of the impeller and the presence of numerous thin blades with low modal frequencies in molecular pumps can cause vibrations. These vibrations can lead to performance degradation, increased noise, and potentially affect the stable operation of the equipment. Therefore, vibration testing of molecular pumps to analyze their vibration spectrum and identify and suppress the causes of vibration is crucial. Current vibration testing devices use a single sensor to measure the vibration of molecular pumps, which suffers from low accuracy. They cannot measure the vibration of the molecular pump when installed at any angle, and the vibration of the backing pump may interfere with the test, a problem that existing devices do not effectively isolate.
