Example

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a molecular pump test rack, including a base plate 1, a slot frame 6 and a placement platform 8 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, a controller 5, a test device 2 and two sets of sound pressure sensors 10 are respectively arranged above the base plate 1, an acceleration sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the placement platform 8, an electric push rod 13 is arranged inside the slot frame 6, a sliding frame 14 is slidably connected inside the slot frame 6, two sets of electric telescopic rods 20 are arranged above the sliding frame 14, a rotating collar 17 is arranged above the two sets of electric telescopic rods 20, a telescopic main tube 18 is arranged on the upper surface of the inner ring of the rotating collar 17, a five-way pipe rack 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic main tube 18, two sets of electric ball valves 23 are fixedly connected to the end of the five-way pipe rack 22 away from the telescopic main tube 18, a connector 15 is fixedly connected to the end of each electric ball valve 23 away from the five-way pipe rack 22, and the end of the telescopic main tube 18 away from the five-way pipe rack 22 is fixedly connected to the input end of the test device 2;

[0024] In this embodiment, the test device 2 serves as the core component. It provides vacuum power through a pumping system combining a backing pump and a high-vacuum pump, and precisely controls the pumping path with a vacuum valve. The measurement system integrates a composite vacuum gauge and a pressure sensor, which can monitor the vacuum level and calculate the compression ratio in real time. At the same time, it measures the pumping rate through a flow meter. In addition, the rotating collar 17 adopts a separate inner and outer ring structure design. Its outer ring is fixedly connected to the support ring 19, and the inner ring can rotate freely relative to the outer ring through a bearing assembly. This structure allows the inner ring to drive the telescopic main pipe 18 and the five-way pipe bracket 22 to rotate synchronously, thereby quickly and accurately positioning the connector 15, which is compatible with different specifications, to the molecular pump interface, achieving efficient and seamless docking of multiple pump models.

[0025] Specifically, two sets of connecting columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 1. Each connecting column 4 is fixedly connected to a support seat 9 at its bottom end. In this embodiment, the support seat 9 can be fixed to the base plate 1 through the connecting columns 4, and the base plate 1 can be placed stably by using the support seat 9.

[0026] Specifically, a connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the controller 5. The bottom surface of the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. In this embodiment, the controller 5 can be fixed by the connecting plate 3. The controller 5 is a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is connected to the device through a digital or analog I / O interface to control the coordinated action of various components.

[0027] Specifically, each sound pressure sensor 10 has a support column 7 fixedly connected to its bottom surface, and the bottom end of each support column 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. In this embodiment, the sound pressure sensor 10 can be fixed by the support column 7. At the same time, the sound pressure sensor 10 is a sensor used to measure the pressure change generated by sound waves in a medium and convert it into an electrical signal output.

[0028] Specifically, a fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the electric push rod 13. The front side of the fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slot frame 6. In this embodiment, the fixing ring 12 can fix the electric push rod 13 into the slot frame 6 and enable the electric push rod 13 to extend and retract stably.

[0029] Specifically, each electric telescopic rod 20 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing ring 21 at its bottom end, and the bottom surface of each reinforcing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sliding frame 14. In this embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 20 can be fixed to the sliding frame 14 through the reinforcing ring 21, so that the sliding frame 14 can drive the electric telescopic rod 20 to move.

[0030] Specifically, the telescopic ends of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 20 are fixedly connected to a support ring 19. The upper surface of the support ring 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer ring of the rotating collar 17. In this embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 20 can be connected to the rotating collar 17 through the support ring 19, and the electric telescopic rod 20 can drive the rotating collar 17 to move up or down.

[0031] Specifically, a support frame 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the telescopic main pipe 18. The bottom surface of the support frame 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the inner ring of the rotating collar 17. In this embodiment, the telescopic main pipe 18 can be fixed to the rotating collar 17 through the support frame 16. The telescopic main pipe 18 is made of soft and stretchable material, which can adaptively extend and retract with the movement of the equipment to ensure that the air passage connectivity and sealing are maintained during multi-dimensional movement and rotation.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the molecular pump to be tested is fixed on the placement platform 8, ensuring that its interface position corresponds to the initial direction of the connector 15. Then, the equipment is started via the controller 5, and the vacuum system of the testing device 2 begins pre-vacuuming. Simultaneously, the acceleration sensor 11 at the bottom of the placement platform 8 and the surrounding sound pressure sensors 10 enter real-time monitoring mode. When the position of the connector 15 needs to be adjusted, the controller 5 drives the electric push rod 13 to extend and retract, causing the sliding frame 14 in the slot frame 6 to move horizontally, bringing the connector 15 closer to the molecular pump interface in the lateral dimension. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 20 drives the rotating collar 17 to move up and down via the support ring 19, completing the height positioning of the connector 15. The inner ring of the rotating collar 17 is positioned relative to the outer ring via the bearing assembly. The rotation causes the telescopic main pipe 18 and the five-way pipe bracket 22 to rotate synchronously, so that the connector 15 is precisely aligned with the orientation of the molecular pump interface. After positioning is completed, the electric ball valve 23 is opened, and the telescopic main pipe 18 is connected to the molecular pump interface through the five-way pipe bracket 22. The evacuation system of the test device 2 begins to evacuate the molecular pump. At this time, the measurement system of the test device 2 monitors the vacuum degree in real time and calculates the compression ratio. The acceleration sensor 11 and the sound pressure sensor 10 synchronously collect the vibration and noise parameters of the molecular pump during operation. The data is integrated by the controller 5 to generate an analysis report. If different specifications of molecular pumps need to be tested, the corresponding connector 15 can be switched by rotating the collar 17. Seamless docking of multiple pump models can be achieved without changing equipment components, which significantly improves the testing efficiency and versatility.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
