[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model discloses a backflow prevention device for a vacuum pump, and its working principle is as follows;

[0025] Usage method 1:

[0026] Connect the front end connecting ball plug 301 of the device to the equipment that needs to be vacuumed, and connect the rear end connecting pipe 101 to the air inlet of the vacuum pump; turn on the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump starts to work, sucking the air in the equipment that needs to be vacuumed from the front end connecting ball plug 301, and the air here enters the front end connecting ball plug 301, and the pressure pushes the front end connecting joint 303 to slide, so that the air in the front end connecting ball plug 301 enters the control air inlet chamber 209, and is filtered through the filter screen 4. After being filtered, the air here enters the control exhaust chamber 212 from the control channel 205 , and finally enters the rear end connecting pipe 101 through the channel in the control exhaust column 213 and is discharged by the vacuum pump; when the vacuum pump has completed vacuuming, the operator manually tightens the control nut 1 202 and the control nut 2 206, so that the control ball 2 207 and the control ball 1 204 close the channel at the control channel 205. At this time, the air at this position cannot flow, and at the same time, under the action of the front end connecting spring 302, the front end connecting joint 303 is close to the front end connecting ball plug 301. At this time, the air cannot flow back into the vacuumed equipment, preventing backflow and completing the vacuuming operation.

[0027] Method 2:

[0028] Connect the front end connecting ball plug 301 of the device to the exhaust port of the vacuum pump, turn on the vacuum pump, and the vacuum pump starts to work, and the air in the equipment that needs to be vacuumed is discharged from the front end connecting ball plug 301. The air here enters the front end connecting ball plug 301, and the pressure pushes the front end connecting joint 303 to slide, so that the air in the front end connecting ball plug 301 enters the control air inlet cavity 209 and is filtered through the filter 4. After being filtered, the air here enters the control exhaust cavity 212 from the control channel 205, and finally enters the control exhaust column 213 through the channel The rear end connecting pipe 101 is discharged; when the vacuum pump has finished drawing the vacuum, the operator manually tightens the control nut 1 202 and the control nut 2 206, so that the control ball 2 207 and the control ball 1 204 close the channel at the control channel 205. At this time, the air at this position cannot flow. At the same time, under the action of the front end connecting spring 302, the front end connecting joint 303 is close to the front end connecting ball plug 301. At this time, the air cannot flow back into the vacuum pump, preventing the gas inside the pipeline from being sucked back into the interior of the vacuum pump, thereby increasing the load when the vacuum pump is restarted.

[0029] During maintenance, the rear end connecting nut 105 is rotated so that the rear end connecting nut 105 is disengaged from the outer side of the rear end connecting tube 101, and the rear end connecting column 104 is also disengaged from the control ball plug 210. At this time, the control ball plug 210 is pushed to close the position under the action of the control return spring 211 to prevent foreign matter from invading and causing unnecessary losses.
