[0032] The pressure gauge 3 is connected with the pipeline 1 by quick release assembly 4, and sealing element 5 is further arranged between the pressure gauge 3 and the pipeline 1, and protection structure 6 is further arranged on the quick release assembly 4.

[0033] Specifically, in the embodiment, the isolation valve 2 is arranged in the middle part of the pipeline 1, when the vacuum gauge needs to be replaced due to failure, the isolation valve 2 is closed, and only the pressure gauge 3 part is inflated and replaced, so that the replacement convenience of the pressure gauge 3 is greatly improved.

[0034] In some embodiments, the pipeline 1 has a broken part in the middle part, and the two ends of the broken part are connected with the isolation valve 2 through flanges and fasteners.

[0035] Further, the tail end of the pipeline 1 is fixedly connected with a first connecting seat 11, and the tail end of the pressure gauge 3 has a second connecting seat 12, the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12 are end face abutting and connected through a quick release assembly 4.

[0036] In the embodiment, the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12 both have a frustum 13, and the two frustums 13 are symmetrically distributed, that is, the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12 both have a frustum structure, and the two frustum structures are symmetrically arranged, and the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12 have the same size, so as to ensure the connection stability of the subsequent quick release assembly 4.

[0037] Of course, the sealing element 5 in the embodiment is a sealing gasket arranged between the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12, and the sealing gasket is a ring-shaped sealing gasket, which is used to improve the connection sealing property between the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12, so as to avoid the problem of vacuum leakage at the connection part of the two.

[0038] Preferably, the quick release assembly 4 comprises a pin-connected rotating first arm 41 and a second arm 42, and the first arm 41 and the second arm 42 both have an arc structure.

[0039] In the free end of the first arm 41 and the second arm 42, an ear seat 43 is formed, the ear seat 43 of the first arm 41 is rotatably connected with a screw rod 44, and the other end of the screw rod 44 is arranged in the ear seat 43 of the second arm 42 and is threadedly connected with a nut 45.

[0040] Specifically, the opening of the ear seat 43 in the embodiment is directed outward of the first arm 41 and the second arm 42. When the pipe 1 and the pressure gauge 3 need to be fixed, the first arm 41 and the second arm 42 are first sleeved outside the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12, then the screw rod 44 is rotated to be partially arranged in the ear seat 43 of the second arm 42, at this time, the nut 45 is rotated, and the relative clamping movement between the first arm 41 and the second arm 42 is maintained by the movement resistance of the nut 45, so that the circumferential connection and fixation of the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 12 are realized.

Since the first arm 41 and the second arm 42 are connected, the spacing between the two ear seats 43 will change under the influence of the clamping force, and therefore, in the embodiment, the positioning glass bead is clamped with the positioning hole in a stable manner by using the positioning hole with a larger aperture.

[0046] That is, in the embodiment, the sheath 61 is used to cover the two ear seats 43 and the nut 45, and after the connection is completed, the nut 45 is covered to avoid the connection stability of the pressure gauge 3 being affected by the nut 45 being touched by mistake.

[0047] Secondly, the sheath 61 is in a U-shaped structure, and the sheath 61 further has an indication part 63 on an end face of the sheath 61.

[0048] In summary, the replacement operation process of the pressure gauge 3 is simplified in the utility model.

[0049] a. The isolation valve 2 is closed to block the pressure gauge 3 and the vacuum cavity;

[0050] b. The quick disassembly assembly 4 is disassembled and assembled to replace the pressure gauge 3;

[0051] c. Beam current adjustment and reline process; the whole vacuum system does not need to be processed, to achieve the purpose of improving the replacement efficiency.

[0052] The replacement operation steps in the present structure are: a, the high vacuum pump stops running for 0.5 hours; b, the cavity is broken for 0.5 hours; c, the cavity part is cooled for 4 hours; d, the high vacuum gauge is replaced for 0.5 hours; e, the high vacuum is established and recovered for 2 hours; f, the cavity high-temperature part is warmed up for 1 hour; g, the beam current is recovered for 1 hour; h, the film running test is performed for 1 hour; i, the machine is restarted and the monitoring item value is tested for 2 hours, and the time consumption needs 12.5 hours;

[0053] After the isolation valve 2 mechanism is modified, the operation steps are: a, the high vacuum gauge isolation valve is closed for 0.1 hours; b, the high vacuum gauge is replaced for 0.4 hours; c, the high vacuum is established and recovered for 0.5 hours; d, the beam current is recovered for 1 hour; e, the film running test is performed for 1 hour; f, the machine is restarted and the monitoring item value is tested for 2 hours; the theoretical time consumption is about 5 hours, the time saving is 7.5 hours, the efficiency is improved by 250%, the feasibility is high, and the modification and replacement operation are simple.

[0054] This invention utilizes an isolation valve 2 installed between the vacuum chamber and the pressure gauge 3. This design allows for the direct disconnection of the pressure gauge 3 from the vacuum chamber when replacing components of the pressure gauge 3 by closing the isolation valve 2. This eliminates the need for complex processing procedures on the entire vacuum system, significantly improving the efficiency of replacement operations and greatly shortening operation time. Furthermore, since there is no need to shut down the vacuum system or perform cooling or heating operations on high-temperature components, the utilization rate of the equipment is improved. The modification process is simple and highly feasible. Overall, this improvement not only simplifies the replacement operation process but also reduces the impact on the production line.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
