[0002] Roots pumps, as high-precision vacuum equipment, are widely used in semiconductor, photovoltaic, and chemical industries. Their assembly process involves the mating of multiple precision parts, including rotors, gears, bearings, and seals. Traditional assembly methods rely heavily on manual operation; key parameters such as gear meshing clearance and bearing press-fit depth require adjustments based on worker experience, leading to poor consistency. The pump body needs to be rotated multiple times (e.g., 180°, 90°) to assemble different sides, and traditional hoisting methods are prone to positioning errors. During the hoisting of heavy components (such as rotors), there is a risk of falling, and the press-fitting station lacks force control protection. Furthermore, the dispersed nature of the rotation, press-fitting, and inspection processes, along with frequent logistics transfers, results in lengthy assembly times. Utility Model Content

At this time, the assembly is placed on the lifting and translating mechanism 52, and then the lifting and translating mechanism 52 moves it to the middle unloading position. Finally, the overhead crane 111 lifts the vacuum pump from the assembly to the pallet.
