Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of getter pump technology, specifically a getter pump with a flat plate structure. Background Technology
[0002] Getters are commonly used materials in vacuum and gas purification fields. Their function is to eliminate impurities in devices, ensuring vacuum levels or gas purity. A getter pump is a device composed of multiple getter arrays, typically used within a vacuum chamber for functions such as maintaining vacuum and gas purification. Getter pumps generally consist of an array of getter plates combined with an electric heating element. Before a getter or getter pump can function in a vacuum, it usually requires heating activation. Most getter pumps are activated by heating the pump with an integrated heating element or similar structure.
[0003] Due to limitations in the manufacturing process, getter tablets are generally designed as circular rings, which are then stacked to form an array of getter tablets. The getter heating component passes through the center of the getter tablet array to achieve heating activation of the getter pump.
[0004] However, due to the irregular shape and long length of some vacuum system pipes, traditional circular getter arrays may not be well adapted to the internal structure of these pipes. Therefore, there is a need to develop a novel getter pump design that can more flexibly adapt to vacuum pipes of different shapes and sizes. Utility Model Content

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the heating wire ranges from 0.2 to 2 mm.
