The length of the ring 100 is made into a series of products, and preferably the length of the ring 100 is 140 mm.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 The ring 100 comprises:

[0032] A frame body 101, which is a hollow annular structure, is adapted to the shape of the end of the shell 2.

[0033] The front end of the frame body 101 forms a front flange 3; the end face of the front flange 3 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes 31, and the front flange 3 is connected to the shell 2 of the Roots vacuum pump 1 as shown in Figure 3 The inner diameter of the frame body 101 is equal to the inner diameter of the shell 2, and preferably the inner diameter R of the frame body 101 is 220 mm.

[0034] The rear end of the frame body 101 forms a rear flange 4; the end face of the rear flange 4 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes 41. As shown in Figure 4 A first O-ring groove 5 is formed on the same end face of the bolt holes 41 of the rear flange 4, which is used to install a first O-ring 51. As shown in Figure 5 And Figure 6 One end of the O-ring groove 5 is connected to an end cover 200 to form a sealing structure.

[0035] The outer edge of the frame body 101 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 21, which are located between the two end faces of the front flange 3 and the rear flange 4. Each reinforcing rib 21 is parallel to the axis of the frame body 101. Preferably, the width of the reinforcing rib 21 is 30 mm. A plurality of grooves 2 are formed between the front flange 3, the rear flange 4 and each reinforcing rib 21. Preferably, the depth of the groove 2 is 48 mm.

[0036] The grooves 2 are used to reduce the weight of the ring 100, and the reinforcing ribs 21 are used to strengthen the ring 100, and increase the natural radiation heat dissipation area or the ability of convective air cooling of the ring 100.

[0037] A cooling water cavity 6 is located at the bottom of the frame 101, and a front end face 61 and a rear end face 62 of the cooling water cavity 6 are flush with the end faces of the front flange 3 and the rear flange 4; and the left and right end faces of the cooling water cavity 6 span between the front end face 61 and the rear end face 62 of the cooling water cavity 6.

The top slope flow guide face 9 makes the gas of the air inlet of the Roots vacuum pump 1 flow along the direction of the blade shaft of the pump body to the two ends of the blade; the bottom slope flow guide face 10 makes the gas in the cavity of the Roots vacuum pump 1 flow along the direction of the blade shaft to the air outlet of the Roots vacuum pump 1. Moreover, the condensed liquid formed in production flows out of the air outlet along the bottom slope flow guide face 10, and does not remain and accumulate in the Roots vacuum pump 1.

[0041] In assembly, the rear flange 4 is engaged with the end cover 200. As shown in Figure 5 , a plurality of M16 long bolts (not shown in the figure) are sequentially passed through the end cover 200, the rear flange 4 of the gasket, the ø18 bolt holes on the front flange 3 of the gasket, and connected with the plurality of M16 threaded holes on the shell 2 of the Roots vacuum pump 1, so as to connect the end cover 200, the gasket 100 and the pump body Roots vacuum pump 1 together to form an integrated body. When the gasket 100 is not used, the end cover 200 is directly connected with the shell 2 of the Roots vacuum pump 1 by the plurality of M16 bolts.

[0042] The interface ring 100 and the shell 2, and the interface ring 100 and the end cover 200 are positioned by two ø16 cylindrical pins. When the interface ring 100 is not used, the shell 2 and the end cover 200 are positioned by two ø16 cylindrical pins.

Preferably, the lifting threaded hole 11 is an M20 threaded hole, which can be used to install an M20 lifting ring screw (not shown).

[0044] During assembly, a pair of impeller rotors are installed in the cavity formed by the Roots vacuum pump 1 or the combination of the Roots vacuum pump 1 and the interface ring 100, and the end covers 200 at both ends, to complete the vacuum pumping work together. The end cover 200 is provided with an impeller support bearing.

[0045] The frame body 101 is provided with at least one pump foot 102 at the bottom, i.e., at least one M16 threaded hole is formed at the bottom of the frame body 101, and the frame body 101 and the pump foot 102 are connected by an M16 screw. The installation of the pump foot 102 at the bottom of the frame body 101 can expand the installation form of the Roots vacuum pump 1, meet the needs of different installation positions, improve the flexibility and convenience of installation, and make the product compact and beautiful.

[0046] An O-ring is used to seal between the end face of the shell 2 of the Roots vacuum pump 1 and the interface ring 100, and an O-ring groove is formed in the end face of the Roots vacuum pump 1 (not shown). When the interface ring 100 is not used, i.e., the end cover 200 is directly connected to the Roots vacuum pump 1, the O-ring is used to seal between the Roots vacuum pump 1 and the end cover 200. The O-ring sealing method has good sealing effect and is convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0047] The interface ring expands the volume of the Roots vacuum pump, and different combinations of the Roots vacuum pump and the interface ring can derive products with different pumping capacities and different vacuum degrees on the same platform, to meet the needs of different specifications of products on the market, and realize integrated and modular production of products. Integrated and modular production of products can make enterprises more efficient in lean production and improve product quality in terms of parts procurement, manufacturing and installation, quality control, and cost reduction.
