[0043] Please seeFigure 1 and Figure 9 The application provides a protective screen device 100, which is connected to an air inlet 201 of a molecular pump when the molecular pump is started, and is used for filtering impurities in air when the molecular pump is exhausted.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The protective screen device 100 provided by the application comprises a mounting cylinder 30, a first sieve plate 10 and a second sieve plate 20. The mounting cylinder 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32 opposite to each other. The first sieve plate 10 is fixedly arranged at the first end 31, and a plurality of first through holes 11 are distributed on the first sieve plate 10. The second sieve plate 20 is arranged on a side of the first sieve plate 10 close to the second end 32 and is movably arranged in the mounting cylinder 30 along the central axis direction of the mounting cylinder 30 so as to be attached to or separated from the first sieve plate 10. A plurality of second through holes 21 corresponding to the first through holes 11 are distributed on the second sieve plate 20, the aperture of the second through holes 21 is smaller than that of the first through holes 11, and the gaps between the plurality of second through holes 21 are distributed with a plurality of third through holes 22, the aperture of the third through holes 22 is larger than that of the second through holes 21, and the gaps between the plurality of third through holes 22 correspond to the gaps between the plurality of first through holes 11. In this way, when the second sieve plate 20 is moved to be attached to the first sieve plate 10, the gas passes through the second sieve plate 20 through the second through holes 21; when the second sieve plate 20 is moved to be separated from the first sieve plate 10, the gas passes through the second sieve plate 20 through the second through holes 21 and the third through holes 22.

[0045] By arranging the movable second sieve plate 20 on one side of the first sieve plate 10 in the mounting cylinder 30 of the protective screen device 100, the aperture through which the gas passes through the second sieve plate 20 can be adjusted by moving the second sieve plate 20 to be attached to or separated from the first sieve plate 10. In the initial stage of starting the molecular pump, the gas flow is large, so the second sieve plate 20 can be moved to be separated from the first sieve plate 10, at this time, the gas at the first end 31 of the mounting cylinder 30 first passes through the first through holes 11 of the first sieve plate 10, and then passes through the second through holes 21 and the third through holes 22 of the second sieve plate 20 to enter the air inlet 201 of the molecular pump, so that the impact of the large gas flow on the protective screen device 100 can be avoided; as the molecular pump operates, the gas flow decreases and the gas flow impact force weakens, so the second sieve plate 20 can be moved to be attached to the first sieve plate 10, at this time, the third through holes 22 of the second sieve plate 20 are closed by the first sieve plate 10, and the gas at the first end 31 of the mounting cylinder 30 only blows to the air inlet 201 of the molecular pump through the second through holes 21. Since according to the working principle of the vacuum equipment such as the molecular pump, in the vacuum pumping process, almost more than 99% of the time is in a state of small gas flow, the protective screen device 100 provided by the application can effectively increase the filtration of large-particle impurities in air, reduce the entry of large particles into the molecular pump, protect the stable operation of the molecular pump, and improve the service life of the molecular pump.

[0046] The installation cylinder 30 in the protective screen device 100 is a cylindrical structure, the first end 31 of the installation cylinder 30 is provided with the first sieve plate 10 for gas to enter, and the second end 32 of the installation cylinder 30 is connected with the molecular pump to enable the gas to enter the molecular pump. It can be understood that the installation cylinder 30 is a cylindrical structure with both ends open. The cross-sectional shape of the installation cylinder 30 can correspond to the shape of one end of the molecular pump gas inlet 201, for example, the installation cylinder 30 can be a cylindrical structure, but is not limited thereto. The second end 32 of the installation cylinder 30 can be provided with a connecting flange 33, and the protective screen device 100 is connected with the molecular pump by providing connecting bolts on the connecting flange 33.

[0047] The first sieve plate 10 is fixedly arranged at the first end 31 of the installation cylinder 30, and can be welded, clamped, riveted or connected by a threaded fastener, but is not limited thereto. The first sieve plate 10 is distributed with a plurality of first through holes 11, which can be uniformly distributed on the first sieve plate 10.

[0048] The second through hole 21 on the second sieve plate 20 corresponds to the first through hole 11, which means that the number of the second through hole 21 is the same as that of the first through hole 11, and the center axes of the corresponding second through hole 21 and the first through hole 11 are on the same straight line. In this way, after the second sieve plate 20 is attached to the first sieve plate 10, the actual aperture for the gas to pass through at the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 21 is equivalent to the aperture of the second through hole 21. Since the third through hole 22 is distributed in the gap between the second through hole 21, and the gap between the third through hole 22 and the first through hole 11 corresponds, wherein the gap between the third through hole 22 and the first through hole 11 corresponds means that in the direction along the center axes of the first through hole 11 and the third through hole 22, the third through hole 22 is distributed in the gap region of the first through hole 11, that is, the third through hole 22 is projected along the center axis direction of the first sieve plate, and the projection of the third through hole 22 falls in the gap region of the first through hole 11. In this way, after the second sieve plate 20 is attached to the first sieve plate 10, the gap of the first sieve plate 10 can cover the third through hole 22, which is equivalent to that only the second through hole 21 of the first sieve plate 10 and the second sieve plate 20 provides the gas through hole.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 4 to 8 , wherein Figure 7 and Figure 8 The arrow direction of the straight line in Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the second screen plate 20 has a plurality of protrusions 23 on the side facing the first screen plate 10, and the second through holes 21 are formed on the protrusions 23. When the second screen plate 20 is moved to be attached to the first screen plate 10, the protrusions 23 are inserted into the first through holes 11; when the second screen plate 20 is moved to be separated from the first screen plate 10, the protrusions 23 are separated from the first through holes 11. The height of the protrusions 23 protruding from the second screen plate 20 can be not less than the thickness of the first screen plate 10, so that the upper end surface of the protrusions 23 is flush with or protrudes from the first screen plate 10 after the second screen plate 20 is attached to the first screen plate 10, preventing impurities from being stuck in the first through holes 11 and reducing the frequency of cleaning the protective screen device 100 during use.

[0050] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first through holes 11 can be tapered holes, and the corresponding protrusions 23 on the second screen plate 20 can also be tapered protrusions 23. The tapered holes and the tapered protrusions 23 have small-diameter ends near the first end 31 of the mounting cylinder 30, which ensures that the protrusions 23 can be accurately inserted into the first through holes 11 when the second screen plate 20 is moved to the first screen plate 10.

[0051] The second screen plate 20 is movably arranged in the mounting cylinder 30 along the central axis of the mounting cylinder 30 to adjust the pore size for gas passing through by moving to be attached to the first screen plate 10 or moving to be separated from the first screen plate 10. The second screen plate 20 can be movably arranged in the mounting cylinder 30 by an elastic member 60 or by a linear motion driving mechanism, which can be a lead screw and sliding block mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism, or a pneumatic cylinder assembly, but is not limited thereto. It should be noted that when the second screen plate 20 is movably arranged in the mounting cylinder 30 by the elastic member 60, the second screen plate 20 can be moved to be close to or away from the first screen plate 10 under the action of the gas flow pressure and the pressure of the elastic member 60; when the second screen plate 20 is movably arranged in the mounting cylinder 30 by the linear motion driving mechanism, the second screen plate 20 can be moved to be close to or away from the first screen plate 10 by manually controlling the linear motion driving mechanism to drive the second screen plate 20.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the second sieve plate 20 is movably disposed within the mounting cylinder 30 via an elastic member 60. The elastic member 60 is configured such that when the gas pressure on the side of the second sieve plate 20 closest to the first sieve plate 10 is greater than a specified value, the second sieve plate 20 can squeeze the elastic member 60 to separate from the first sieve plate 10; when the gas pressure on the side of the second sieve plate 20 closest to the first sieve plate 10 is less than a specified value, the elastic member 60 can press the second sieve plate 20 into contact with the first sieve plate 10. The elastic member 60 can be a spring, but is not limited to this. The specified value can be determined based on the wind pressure experienced by the second sieve plate 20 when the molecular pump is first started. Thus, when the gas flow rate is large, the second sieve plate 20 can squeeze the elastic member 60 to separate from the first sieve plate 10 under the action of the airflow; as the airflow rate decreases, the second sieve plate 20 can be pressed against the first sieve plate 10 by the squeezing action of the elastic member 60, allowing the protective net device 100 to automatically adjust the aperture of the second sieve plate 20 for gas passage according to the gas flow rate.

[0053] like Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective net device 100 may further include a fixing plate 40, which is fixedly disposed within the mounting cylinder 30 and located on the side of the second screen plate 20 away from the first screen plate 10. Simultaneously, a connecting rod 25 is provided on the side of the second screen plate 20 closest to the fixing plate 40. One end of an elastic member 60 is connected to the connecting rod 25, and the other end is connected to the fixing plate 40. For example, when the elastic member 60 is a spring, it can be sleeved on the connecting rod 25, but is not limited thereto. For example, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 25 may pass through the fixing plate 40, and a first limiting structure 251 and a second limiting structure 252 are provided on the connecting rod 25. The first limiting structure 251 is located on the side of the fixing plate 40 closest to the second screen plate 20, and the second limiting structure 252 is located on the side of the fixing plate 40 away from the second screen plate 20. Thus, the first limiting structure 251 and the second limiting structure 252 can limit the vertical movement range of the second screen plate 20. Taking the example of the elastic element 60 being fitted onto the connecting rod 25, one end of the elastic element 60 connected to the connecting rod 25 can be connected to the first limiting structure 251. The first limiting structure 251 can be a shoulder structure formed on the connecting rod 25, or a limiting block fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 25. Correspondingly, to facilitate the disassembly of the connecting rod 25, the second limiting structure 252 can be a limiting block, which can be detachably mounted on the connecting rod 25. For example, it can be a snap-fit, threaded connection, or threaded fastener connection, but it is not limited to these.

[0054] It should be noted that, in order to enable the gas passing through the second sieve plate 20 to enter the gas inlet 201 of the molecular pump, in some embodiments, the fourth through hole 41 is further arranged on the fixed plate 40. The aperture of the fourth through hole 41 can be smaller than the aperture of the second through hole 21, further filtering impurities and ensuring the normal operation of the molecular pump.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the protective net device 100 further comprises a guide column 50. The guide column 50 is arranged along the moving direction of the second sieve plate 20. Correspondingly, the second sieve plate 20 is provided with a guide groove 24 matched with the guide column 50. Thus, the second sieve plate 20 can be prevented from rotating during the up-down movement, and the central axes of the second through hole 21 and the first through hole 11 can be kept on the same straight line.

[0056] In some embodiments, the guide column 50 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 30, and one end of the guide column 50 abuts against the side of the first sieve plate 10 close to the second sieve plate 20. By fixing the guide column 50 on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 30, and correspondingly, distributing the guide grooves 24 on the edge of the second sieve plate 20, the guide grooves 24 can be prevented from affecting the distribution of the second through hole 21 and the third through hole 22 on the second sieve plate 20. It can be understood that the shape of the guide groove 24 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the guide column 50, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide column 50 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, for example, it can be rectangular, triangular or arc-shaped. By abutting the one end of the guide column 50 against the first sieve plate 10, on the one hand, the guide column 50 can support the first sieve plate 10 to a certain extent, and on the other hand, the end of the guide column 50 can also position the installation of the first sieve plate 10. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the second sieve plate 20, two guide columns 50 can be arranged, and the two guide columns 50 are oppositely arranged along the radial direction of the mounting cylinder 30 in the mounting cylinder 30.

[0057] In other embodiments, the present application further provides a molecular pump, which comprises a pump body 200 and the protective net device 100 in any of the above embodiments. The pump body 200 has a gas inlet 201 and an exhaust port 202, and the protective net device 100 is arranged in the pump body 200, and the second end 32 of the mounting cylinder 30 in the protective net device 100 is connected with the gas inlet 201 of the pump body 200.

[0058] As shown in Figure 9 , when the molecular pump provided by the present application is used for vacuumizing the cavity 300, the protective net device 100 of the molecular pump is arranged in the cavity 300, and the pump body 200 is arranged outside the cavity 300.

[0059] The molecular pump provided in the application adopts all the technical solutions of all the embodiments of the protective net device 100, and thus has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the embodiments of the protective net device 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0060] The above is only an embodiment of the application, and does not limit the patent scope of the application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the application.
