[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a vacuum low-vibration closed-loop thermostat.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 A vacuum low-vibration closed-loop thermostat includes a housing 1, a cold head mounting bracket 2, and a vibration-damping bellows 3. The cold head mounting bracket 2 is used for mounting the cold head. The cold head mounting bracket 2 is connected to the housing 1 via the vibration-damping bellows 3. The vibration-damping bellows 3 absorbs and buffers vibration energy, reducing vibration transmission and minimizing vibration transmitted to the housing 1 during operation of the closed-loop thermostat, thus preventing significant impact on testing equipment, especially optical testing equipment, due to vibration.

[0037] Specifically, the cold head mounting bracket 2 is generally made of metal, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. Aluminum alloy is lighter, which helps reduce the overall weight, while stainless steel has better strength and corrosion resistance. The cold head mounting bracket 2 can be a frame structure, which facilitates the installation of the cold head and connection with other components. Of course, it can also be a one-piece block structure, which can provide more stable support.

[0038] Two damping bellows 3 are provided, and the two damping bellows 3 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the cold head mounting bracket 2. The damping bellows 3 and the cold head mounting bracket 2 are connected by bolts 6. The damping bellows 3 has an end ring 31, and the end ring 31 has a first through hole 32 for the bolt 6 to pass through. The cold head mounting bracket 2 has a second through hole 21 for the bolt 6 to pass through. The bolt 6 is threaded with a nut 7, and the damping bellows 3 and the cold head mounting bracket 2 are firmly connected by tightening the nut 7.

[0039] Furthermore, a counterweight 4 is provided at the bottom of the cold head mounting bracket 2. The counterweight 4 can be made of high-density materials such as cast iron or lead blocks. By increasing the weight of the cold head mounting bracket 2, its stability is improved and the impact of vibration is reduced.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the housing 1 is equipped with multiple uprights 5, each of which is an air spring. The air spring consists of a rubber bladder and internal compressed air, providing excellent shock absorption and load-bearing capacity. The air spring automatically adjusts its height and stiffness according to changes in load, effectively isolating vibrations from the ground from being transmitted to the housing 1, further ensuring the stable operation of the testing equipment.

[0041] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: By comprehensively using various damping measures such as the damping bellows 3, damping springs 8, and counterweights 4, the vibrations generated during the operation of the closed-loop thermostat are effectively absorbed and buffered, reducing the impact of vibration on the testing equipment and improving the stability and accuracy of the test results, especially for optical testing equipment. Simultaneously, the air spring column 5 isolates the transmission of ground vibrations, further optimizing the testing environment.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a first damping pad 33 is provided on the inner wall of the first through hole 32, and a second damping pad 22 is provided on the inner wall of the second through hole 21. Both the first damping pad 33 and the second damping pad 22 are used for the bolt 6 to abut against. The first damping pad 33 and the second damping pad 22 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone to further absorb the vibration of the bolt 6 connection and enhance the damping effect.

[0044] In addition, a damping spring 8 is installed between the cold head mounting bracket 2 and the damping bellows 3. The damping spring 8 is sleeved on the threaded rod of the bolt 6 and is in a compressed state. The damping spring 8 is generally a helical spring made of spring steel, which has good elasticity and recovery performance. When the closed-loop thermostat vibrates, the compressed damping spring 8 will elastically expand and contract, further absorbing and buffering the vibration energy and reducing the transmission of vibration.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
