Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vacuum pump leveling technology, specifically relating to a vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the precision assembly of semiconductor vacuum pumps, gears, as the core component of the entire transmission system, play a crucial role. The accuracy of the gear mounting plane and the degree of meshing between them have a decisive impact on the overall performance of the vacuum pump. This not only relates to whether the pump can operate efficiently and stably, but also directly affects its vacuuming speed, ultimate vacuum level, and long-term operational reliability.

[0003] Currently, most semiconductor vacuum pumps in the industry use a heat-assembly method for gear mounting. This method heats the gear, causing it to expand, making it relatively easy to install onto the shaft or into the gearbox. However, once the gear cools and contracts, maintaining its mounting height and the flatness of the mounting surface become challenges. Especially during the cooling process, without appropriate tooling or methods to limit gear movement or deformation, it is difficult to ensure the gear achieves an ideal mounting state.

[0004] Unrestricted tooling often leads to a series of problems. First, the mounting height of gears may change due to uneven contraction during cooling, directly affecting the meshing clearance between gears and consequently impacting the smoothness and efficiency of the transmission. Second, the mounting flatness of gears may also be affected by uneven cooling contraction, causing gear wobble or vibration during operation. This not only increases noise but also accelerates gear wear, thus shortening the service life of the vacuum pump. More seriously, these problems can also lead to unstable operation, affecting the overall performance and reliability of the vacuum pump.

[0005] Therefore, in the gear assembly process of semiconductor vacuum pumps, effectively controlling the gear mounting height and flatness to ensure that the gears maintain an ideal meshing state after cooling is key to improving vacuum pump performance and extending service life. This requires continuous exploration and innovation in assembly processes to find more precise and reliable assembly methods. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low assembly efficiency, short service life, and large vibration caused by the inability to accurately control the installation height and flatness of gears during hot assembly in vacuum pump assembly, and to provide a vacuum pump gear installation and leveling device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device includes a Roots rotor, a bearing plate mounted on the end of the Roots rotor, a gear mounted on the bearing plate, a gear flattening fixture fitted to the gear, a gear leveling plate connected to the gear flattening fixture, and through holes opened on both the gear flattening fixture and the gear leveling plate, and a first fixing device passing through the through holes for fixing.

[0009] Several tops are installed on the gear flattening fixture, and several through holes are provided on the gear straightening plate. The second fixing device passes through the through holes and is in contact with the tops.

[0010] The through hole corresponds to the position of the top head.

[0011] A gear limiting plate is installed on the bearing plate.

[0012] The gear is mounted on the gear limiting plate.

[0013] A force-equalizing shim is fixed between the gear flattening fixture and the gear straightening plate.

[0014] The force equalizing pad has a through hole, which is consistent with the through hole on the gear flattening fixture and the gear adjusting plate.

[0015] The through hole is adapted to the size of the first fixing device.

[0016] The first fixing device is an M12 bolt.

[0017] The second fixing device is an M6 bolt.

[0018] After leveling, use a feeler gauge to check between the gear and the gear limit plate, and adjust the second fixing device according to the test results.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This utility model provides a vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device, including a Roots rotor, a bearing plate mounted on the end of the Roots rotor, a gear mounted on the bearing plate, a gear flattening fixture attached to the gear, and a gear adjusting plate connected to the gear flattening fixture. Both the gear flattening fixture and the gear adjusting plate have through holes, through which a first fixing device passes for fixation. Several tops are mounted on the gear flattening fixture, and several through holes are provided on the adjusting plate. A second fixing device passes through the through holes and contacts the tops. By rotating and adjusting the contact depth between the second fixing device and the tops, the gear flattening fixture is driven to level the gear. This utility model has a simple structure and is quick and convenient to assemble. It only requires simple hole connections to complete the assembly of the vacuum pump gear leveling, preventing deformation caused by gear heating after installation, thereby improving assembly efficiency and the yield rate of finished products.

[0021] Furthermore, by setting up several second fixing devices, the stability of the device is improved, preventing the device from changing its displacement due to excessive vibration, which would affect assembly efficiency and extend the device's lifespan.

[0022] Furthermore, the gear limit plate restricts the range of motion of the gear to ensure that the mechanical device operates within a safe and controllable range.

[0023] Furthermore, the force-equalizing pads can evenly distribute the pressure of the second fixing device, playing a role in shock absorption and buffering, preventing excessive local pressure from damaging components. This helps protect mechanical parts and extend their service life. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Example 1

[0041] A vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device, the composition of which is shown below:

[0042] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device includes a Roots rotor 10, a bearing plate 9 mounted on the end of the Roots rotor 10, a gear limiting plate 8 mounted on the bearing plate 9, and a gear 7 mounted on the gear limiting plate 8 by a gear flattening fixture 6. The gear flattening fixture 6 has several top heads 5 fixed on one side surface of a force equalizing pad 4. The gear flattening fixture 6 is connected to a gear adjusting plate 3, which has several through holes. The through holes correspond to the positions of the top heads 5. A second fixing device 2 passes through the several through holes and contacts and connects with the top heads 5. The gear flattening fixture 6, the force equalizing pad 4, and the gear adjusting plate 3 are provided with through holes of the same diameter. The first fixing device 1 passes through the through holes for fixing.

[0043] Preferably, the through holes on the gear flattening fixture 6, the force equalizing shim 4, and the gear adjusting plate 3 are adapted to the size of the first fixing device 1.

[0044] Preferably, the gear flattening fixture 6 is composed of a disk and a cylinder, the diameter of the cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the disk, and the top head 5 is located on the disk.

[0045] Preferably, the force-equalizing pad 4 is disc-shaped, and its outer diameter is the same as that of the cylindrical outer diameter of the gear flattening fixture 6 and is fitted to the cylinder for installation.

[0046] Preferably, the first fixing device 1 is an M12 bolt, and the second fixing device 2 is an M6 bolt, or an adjustable rotatable stud.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] A vacuum pump gear mounting and leveling device, the method of use of which is as follows:

[0049] like Figures 4-5As shown, when hot-fitting the gear, first install the gear limiting plate 8 to limit the gear installation height. After the gear 7 is installed on the gear limiting plate 8, install the gear flattening fixture 6. Next, install the force equalizing shim 4 and the gear adjusting plate 3 in sequence. Install the M12 bolt connecting shaft through the middle through hole. Then, use 3 M6 socket head cap screws to connect the lower brass top head 5 through the holes on the gear adjusting plate 3. Adjust the tightness of the three M6 bolts to level the gear.

[0050] After leveling, as follows Figure 5 The marked positions are checked using a 0.03mm feeler gauge, and the gears are calibrated and leveled based on the results. After the gears have cooled, a final check and adjustment are performed. The specific testing method is as follows:

[0051] Insert the selected feeler gauge into the gap between the leveling device and the measuring plane. During insertion, gradually apply slight pressure until resistance is felt or the feeler gauge can just slide freely but cannot move easily. While using the feeler gauge, record the readings of the measuring instrument at the marking points; these readings reflect the flatness or tilt of the leveling device. Compare the measurement data with preset flatness or tilt standards. If it exceeds the standard range, the leveling device needs adjustment. Based on the analysis results, adjust the leveling device accordingly. After adjustment, use the feeler gauge and measuring instrument again to ensure the leveling device meets the requirements.
