[0002] A vacuum clamp is a fastening device used to connect and seal vacuum pipelines or equipment, and is widely used in industries such as vacuum systems, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry. It is usually fastened by bolts, nuts or other mechanical structures to provide a strong pressing force, thereby ensuring the sealing performance in a vacuum environment.

[0003] In a chemical plant, there are often corrosive gases such as chlorine and hydrogen sulfide, as well as liquids such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. These gases and liquids can quickly corrode exposed metal parts in a relatively humid environment. In a corrosive gas or liquid environment, it is a common failure reason that the threads at the connection part of the bolt and the nut are corroded, resulting in poor fastening. Rusting causes oxides to form on the thread surface. These oxides are fragile and brittle. Over time, the actual contact area of the thread decreases, and finally the bolt cannot maintain an effective fastening force. This causes the sealing performance of the vacuum clamp to decline or even fail.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a high-sealing vacuum clamp. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5As shown, a technical solution provided by the utility model is: a high-sealing vacuum clamp, comprising a lower clamp 1 and an upper clamp 2, the lower clamp 1 is provided with a sealing mechanism 3, the sealing mechanism 3 comprises: a rotating block 31, the outer wall of the rotating block 31 is rotatably connected with a fastening threaded rod 32; a connecting sleeve 33, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 33 is provided with a piston cavity 34, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 33 is rotatably connected with a rotating nut 35, the outer wall of the rotating nut 35 is fixedly connected with a chamfered arc block 36, the outer wall of the rotating nut 35 is fixedly connected with a right-angle arc block 37, one end of a return spring 38 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the piston cavity 34, the other end of the return spring 38 is fixedly connected with a piston plate 39, the outer wall of the piston plate 39 is fixedly connected with a connecting abutment strip 310, the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 33 is fixedly connected with a transmission air pipe 311, and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 33 is fixedly connected with an expansion annular airbag 312. The fastening threaded rod 32 is rotated to make the fastening threaded rod 32 rotate into the clamping groove of the upper clamp 2, and then the connecting sleeve 33 is rotated to drive the connecting resistance strip 310 to rotate, and the connecting resistance strip 310 begins to resist the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36. At this time, the force of the connecting resistance strip 310 resisting the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36 can drive the chamfered arc block 36 to rotate, and the chamfered arc block 36 drives the rotating nut 35 to rotate, so that the rotating nut 35 moves downward under the action of the fastening threaded rod 32, so that The rotating nut 35 drives the rotating connecting sleeve 33 to move downward, and the rotating connecting sleeve 33 contacts and tightens the upper clamp 2. When the tightening force reaches a certain level, the contact force between the connecting resistance strip 310 and the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36 increases, so that the connecting resistance strip 310 and the piston plate 39 squeeze the return spring 38, so that the connecting resistance strip 310 moves to the surface of the chamfered arc block 36. At this time, it can be clearly felt that the resistance to rotation is greatly reduced, and the rotating connecting sleeve 33 is stopped at this time.

[0027] The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 33 is provided with a secondary fastening mechanism 4, which includes a fixed ring 41, the inner wall of the fixed ring 41 is rotatably connected with a rotating ring 42, the inner wall of the rotating ring 42 is fixedly connected with the middle part of the connecting spring 43, and the two sides of the connecting spring 43 are fixedly connected with fastening nuts 44.

The air in the piston cavity 34 can enter the expansion annular airbag 312 through the transmission air pipe 311. The number of the expansion annular airbags 312 is two, and the two expansion annular airbags 312 are symmetrically installed. When the two expansion annular airbags 312 expand, they can simultaneously and tightly contact the fastening threaded rod 32.

[0030] When the high-sealing vacuum clamp of the utility model is in use, the fastening threaded rod 32 is rotated to make the fastening threaded rod 32 rotate into the clamping groove of the upper clamp 2, and then the connecting sleeve 33 is rotated to drive the connecting resistance strip 310 to rotate, and the connecting resistance strip 310 begins to resist the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36. At this time, the force of the connecting resistance strip 310 resisting the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36 can drive the chamfered arc block 36 to rotate, and the chamfered arc block 36 drives the rotating nut 35 to rotate, so that the rotating nut 35 moves downward under the action of the fastening threaded rod 32, so that the rotating nut 35 drives The connecting sleeve 33 is rotated to move downward, and the connecting sleeve 33 is rotated to resist and tighten the upper clamp 2. When the tightening force reaches a certain level, the resistance between the connecting resistance strip 310 and the arc surface of the chamfered arc block 36 increases, so that the connecting resistance strip 310 and the piston plate 39 squeeze the return spring 38, so that the connecting resistance strip 310 moves to the surface of the chamfered arc block 36. At this time, it can be clearly felt that the resistance to rotation is greatly reduced.
