[0015] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the present utility model, those of ordinary skill in the art can propose various structural forms and implementation manners that can be mutually replaced. Therefore, the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings are only illustrative of the technical solution of the present utility model and should not be regarded as the whole of the present utility model or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present utility model.

[0016] Figure 1 Schematically shows the overall structure of a vacuum pump with a pressure relief channel, as Figure 1 shown, a vacuum pump with a pressure relief channel includes a pump body 1 and a rotor in the pump chamber formed by the pump body 1 and the pump cover 2. A driving notch 3 for driving the rotor is formed on the pump body 1, and a driving notch 3 for driving the rotor is formed on the pump body 1. A pressure relief notch 4 is formed on the pump body 1. The lower pressure notch and the driving notch 3 are located on different sides of the pump body 1. A pressure relief channel is formed on the pump body 1. One end of the pressure relief channel is formed in the driving notch 3, and the other end is formed on the pressure relief notch 4.

[0017] A pressure relief notch 5 is provided on the aforementioned pump body 1, and a pressure relief notch 4 is opened on the pressure relief notch 5. It should be noted that Figure 2 schematically shows a sectional structure of a vacuum pump with a pressure relief passage, as Figure 2 shown. The aforementioned pressure relief passage includes a first pressure relief passage 6 and a second pressure relief passage 7. The first pressure relief passage 6 penetrates the side wall of the driving notch 3 and the pressure relief notch 5 along the width direction of the pressure relief notch 5. A break opening of the first pressure relief passage 6 opened on the driving notch 3 communicates with the pump chamber. The second pressure relief passage 7 penetrates the side wall of the pressure relief notch 4 and the pressure relief notch 5 along the height direction of the pressure relief notch 5. The aforementioned first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7 are in communication, so that the first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7 are connected to form a pressure relief passage from the driving notch 3 to the pressure relief notch 4, completing the pressure relief inside the pump chamber.

[0018] The aforementioned first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7 are in a communicating state. Since the first pressure relief passage 6 penetrates the side wall of the driving notch 3 and the pressure relief notch 5 along the width direction of the pressure relief notch 5, a slot hole is opened on the side surface of the pressure relief notch 5 of the first pressure relief passage 6. The second pressure relief passage 7 penetrates the side wall of the pressure relief notch 4 and the pressure relief notch 5 along the height direction of the pressure relief notch 5, so that a slot hole is opened on the top side of the pressure relief notch 5 of the second pressure relief passage 7. Since the outlet of the pressure relief passage is located at the pressure relief notch 4, the aforementioned slot holes need to be closed to form a pressure relief passage composed of the first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7. The method adopted is to provide a plug ball 8 for blocking the first pressure relief passage 6 at one end of the first pressure relief passage 6 away from the driving notch 3, and a plug ball 8 for blocking the second pressure relief passage 7 at one end of the second pressure relief passage 7 away from the pressure relief notch 4, forming a pressure relief passage that enters from the driving notch 3, then passes through the junction of the first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7, and thus is discharged from the driving notch 3. It should be noted that the aforementioned first pressure relief passage 6 and the second pressure relief passage 7 can adopt a vertical through or inclined through manner based on the pressure relief notch 5, depending on the shape of the pump chamber and the pressure relief notch 5.

[0019] In some embodiments, the pressure relief passage can be formed by combining at least two pressure relief passages in different directions in a through manner, and the ends of the pressure relief passages close to the through point are closed with plugs to form a corner. The oil seal inner side of the driving end of the vacuum pump and the pressure relief notch 5 located on the fixed shaft seat are connected through multiple pressure relief passages and corners; and the aforementioned pressure relief passage can adopt a through manner including but not limited to vertical through to form a corner, as long as the through between the pressure relief passages in different directions can be maintained. It is set according to the surface structure of the pump body 1. Vertical through is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention.

[0020] For the convenience of fixing the vacuum pump, a number of fixing notches 9 for fixing the vacuum pump may be provided through the width direction of the pressure relief notch 5. Bolts can pass through the aforementioned fixing notches 9 to fix the vacuum pump body 1. The pressure relief notch 4 is an annular notch opened above the pressure relief notch 5 and is opened on the outer edge of the pump body 1.

[0021] Through the pressure relief channel provided on the pump body, based on the shape and structure of the pump body, the pressure relief channel communicates the inner side of the oil seal at the driving end of the pump body with the outside world, meets the pressure relief requirement when the pressure inside the oil seal at the driving end is too high, prevents the occurrence of oil leakage, thus avoids the abnormal noise problem of the vacuum pump, improves the service life of the vacuum pump, and ensures its stable operation.

[0022] The technical scope of the present utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present utility model, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
