Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Roots pumps, and more particularly to a Roots pump capable of reducing pressure difference. Background Art
[0002] Roots pumps have the characteristics of fast start-up, low power consumption, low operation and maintenance costs, high pumping speed and high efficiency. They are insensitive to small amounts of water vapor and dust contained in the pumped gas. They have a large pumping rate within the pressure range of 100 to 1 Pa and can quickly remove suddenly released gases. Therefore, they are widely used in smelting, degassing, rolling in vacuum metallurgy, and vacuum distillation in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
[0003] The Roots pump consists of a gear box and a pump casing. There is an oil seal between the gear box and the pump casing. When the current pump is working, the pressure in the vacuum chamber in the pump casing will drop rapidly, but the pressure in the gear box drops slowly due to the action of the oil seal, resulting in a large difference between the pressure in the gear box and the pressure in the vacuum pump. This will cause the gas in the gear box to leak into the vacuum chamber, affecting the ultimate pressure of the vacuum chamber. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a Roots pump with a reduced pressure difference, which is used to reduce the pressure difference between the gear box and the vacuum chamber.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a Roots pump for reducing pressure difference, comprising a front gear box and a pump casing, a front baffle being sealed between the front gear box and the pump casing, a front oil chamber being formed in the front gear box, a vacuum chamber being formed in the pump casing, the vacuum chamber including an air outlet, a first through hole being provided in the pump casing, the first through hole being connected to the air outlet, a second through hole being provided in the front baffle, one end of the second through hole being connected to the front oil chamber, the other end of the second through hole being connected to the first through hole, and a first pressure differential one-way valve being provided in the second through hole.
[0006] As a further improvement of the present invention, a first annular groove is provided on a side of the front partition facing the pump housing. The first annular groove is located at the connection between the first through hole and the second through hole. A first sealing ring is embedded in the first annular groove.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, it further comprises a rear gear box, wherein a rear partition is sealedly connected between the rear gear box and the pump housing, and a rear oil chamber is formed in the rear gear box.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the rear oil chamber is communicated with the second through hole.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, a third through hole is provided in the pump casing, the third through hole is connected to the air outlet, a fourth through hole is provided in the rear partition, the fourth through hole is connected to the third through hole, and a second pressure differential one-way valve is provided in the fourth through hole.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, a second annular groove is provided on the side of the rear partition facing the pump housing. The second annular groove is located at the connection between the third through hole and the fourth through hole. A second sealing ring is embedded in the second annular groove.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, a second groove is provided on a side of the rear partition plate facing the rear oil chamber, the second groove is communicated with the fourth through hole, and a second filter element is fixedly connected in the second groove.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the air outlet is connected with the front oil chamber in the present invention. When the front-stage pump is in operation, the pressure in the vacuum chamber drops rapidly. The connection between the first through hole and the second through hole reduces the pressure in the front oil chamber, thereby reducing the pressure difference between the vacuum chamber and the front oil chamber, to prevent the gas in the front chamber from leaking toward the vacuum chamber, and to prevent the ultimate pressure of the vacuum chamber from being affected. A first pressure differential one-way valve is provided in the second through hole. When the vacuum degree in the front oil chamber reaches a certain value, the first pressure differential one-way valve can cut off the air path between the first through hole and the second through hole, thereby preventing the oil and gas in the front oil chamber from entering the air outlet side.
