Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum chamber flange technology, specifically to a leak-proof vacuum chamber flange connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of vacuum technology, the sealing performance of a vacuum chamber directly affects the operating efficiency of equipment and product quality. Especially in industrial applications such as semiconductor manufacturing, vacuum coating, and vacuum heat treatment, gas leakage within the vacuum chamber can lead to a decline in equipment performance and even affect product yield. Therefore, designing an efficient and reliable leak-proof flange connection structure for a vacuum chamber has become a key technical issue in vacuum equipment design.

[0003] In existing technologies, the sealing performance of vacuum chamber flange connection structures often relies on a single sealing ring or gasket. After long-term use or frequent disassembly, this design is prone to aging, deformation, or wear of the sealing ring, leading to a decline in sealing performance and consequently causing air leakage problems.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This leak-proof vacuum chamber flange connection structure forms multiple sealing barriers by setting independent sealing structures between the movable sleeve and the fixed sleeve, between the inner wall of the movable sleeve and the crystal control probe, between the sliding block and the sliding groove, and between the connecting pipe and the fixed sleeve, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall sealing performance.

[0016] 2. This leak-proof vacuum chamber flange connection structure allows for easy installation by simply rotating flange two to rotate the connecting pipe, causing the movable sleeve to rise along the slide groove and press the sealing ring three to ensure a tight seal.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A leak-proof vacuum chamber flange connection structure includes a flange 1, a fixed sleeve 2 integrally formed at the upper end of the flange 1, a connecting pipe 3 movably installed inside the fixed sleeve 2, a flange 4 integrally formed at the top end of the connecting pipe 3, a movable sleeve 5 movably installed inside the connecting pipe 3, a sealing mechanism provided between the connecting pipe 3 and the movable sleeve 5, the sealing mechanism including a sealing ring 11, a sealing ring 11 movably installed on the upper inner wall of the movable sleeve 5, and sealing rings 12 movably installed on the upper and lower inner walls of the movable sleeve 5, and a rotating mechanism provided between the connecting pipe 3 and the fixed sleeve 2, the rotating mechanism including... The movable sleeve 5 includes a guide groove 6, which is circumferentially formed in the middle of the inner side of the fixed sleeve 2. A guide ring 7, which is slidably connected to the guide groove 6, is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the middle part of the connecting pipe 3. Sealing rings 14 are movably installed on the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 2 near the upper and lower ends of the guide groove 6. A threaded groove 8 is formed on the lower inner wall of the connecting pipe 3. The outer wall of the movable sleeve 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 8. Sliding grooves 9 are formed on both sides of the lower inner wall of the fixed sleeve 2. Sliding blocks 10, which are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 9, are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the movable sleeve 5. Sealing rings 13 are movably installed on the top of the sliding blocks 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, independent sealing structures are set between the movable sleeve 5 and the fixed sleeve 2, between the inner wall of the movable sleeve 5 and the crystal control probe, between the sliding block 10 and the sliding groove 9, and between the connecting pipe 3 and the fixed sleeve 2, forming multiple sealing barriers to ensure the stability of the overall sealing performance.

[0026] Furthermore, during installation, simply rotating flange 2 4 will rotate the connecting pipe 3, causing the movable sleeve 5 to rise along the slide groove 9 and press the sealing ring 3 11 to ensure a sealing effect.

[0027] Working principle: During installation, the crystal control probe is fixed on flange 2 4. The detection end of the crystal control probe passes through flange 2 4 and is connected to the movable sleeve 5. At this time, flange 2 4 is rotated, which drives the connecting pipe 3 to rotate. Because the connecting pipe 3 and the movable sleeve 5 are threadedly connected, and the bottom of the movable sleeve 5 is provided with sliding blocks 10 that are slidably connected to the slide groove 9 on both sides, the movable sleeve 5 will rise along the gap and drive the sealing ring 3 11 to abut against the connection between the movable sleeve 5 and the fixed sleeve 2. At the same time, the outer wall of the detection end of the crystal control probe is sealed on the inside by the two sealing rings 2 12 at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the movable sleeve 5. Meanwhile, the upper end of the sliding block 10 is sealed with the upper end of the slide groove 9 by the sealing ring 1 13. This can further improve the sealing performance and thus achieve the purpose of preventing air leakage.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
