Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a vacuum pump cooling mechanism, belonging to the field of vacuum pumps. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum pump cooling is a crucial aspect of ensuring efficient equipment operation and extending service life. Its core lies in controlling the pump body temperature through heat exchange to prevent performance degradation and malfunctions caused by overheating. As an important type of vacuum pump, the rotor chamber is one of its core components. To reduce the impact of compression heat on the pump body, a spiral water channel is typically designed within the rotor chamber to provide a flow path for cooling water, allowing the cooling water to cool the rotor chamber as it flows through the spiral water channel. However, this spiral water channel structure is complex, requiring precision casting or CNC milling processes during manufacturing. This not only demands high equipment precision but also necessitates multiple clamping and adjustment operations, resulting in a cumbersome and difficult machining process for rotor chambers with spiral water channels, significantly increasing manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum pump cooling mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model reduces the production difficulty and processing cost of the rotor chamber.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vacuum pump cooling mechanism, comprising:

[0005] The rotor chamber has two open ends, and two symmetrically arranged air outlets are installed on the outer surface of the rotor chamber. An air inlet is installed on the top of the outer surface of the rotor chamber.

[0006] The rotor chamber is provided in the rotor chamber. Both ends of the rotor chamber are open. A channel for cooling water to flow is formed between the rotor chamber and the inner wall of the rotor chamber. Both ends of the rotor chamber are fitted with a side ring that is connected and fixed to the rotor chamber. The side ring is installed in the rotor chamber. The air inlet and air outlet both pass through the channel and communicate with the internal space of the rotor chamber.

[0007] A water inlet pipe is provided on one side of the air outlet. The water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the rotor chamber and is connected to the channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotor cavity has a figure-eight cross-section, and the side ring and the rotor cavity are integrally formed.

[0010] Furthermore, multiple first protrusions are equidistantly installed on the outer surface of the rotor cavity away from the air inlet. The end of the first protrusion away from the rotor cavity is in contact with the inner wall of the rotor cavity. Multiple rows of second protrusions are uniformly installed on the outer surface of the rotor cavity. The end of the second protrusion away from the rotor cavity is in contact with the inner wall of the rotor cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, two symmetrically arranged first air ports are provided on the outer surface of the rotor cavity. The end of the air outlet near the rotor cavity is arranged concentrically with the first air port. A second air port is provided on the top of the rotor cavity. The end of the air inlet near the rotor cavity is arranged concentrically with the second air port.

[0035] See Figures 1-4 The rotor chamber 1 contains a rotor cavity 5 with a figure-eight cross-section. Both ends of the rotor cavity 5 are open, forming a channel for cooling water to flow between the rotor cavity 5 and the inner wall of the rotor chamber 1. Two symmetrically arranged first air ports 52 are opened on the outer surface of the rotor cavity 5. The end of the air outlet 14 near the rotor cavity 5 is concentrically arranged with the first air port 52. A second air port 53 is opened on the top of the rotor cavity 5.
