The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0033] The terms used to describe position and direction in this utility model are illustrated with the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a transfer device, including a transfer assembly 1 and a gas treatment assembly 2. The transfer assembly 1 is used to accommodate the target component 100 to be transferred, and the gas treatment assembly 2 is used to treat the internal environment of the transfer assembly 1 so that the internal environment of the transfer assembly 1 meets the environmental requirements required for the transfer of the target component 100. The target component 100 to be transferred is a component that needs to be transported in a special environment.

[0036] In this embodiment, the gas handling component 2 is used to evacuate the interior of the transport component 1, thereby creating a vacuum environment inside the transport component 1 to meet the transport requirements of the target component 100, which needs to be transported in a vacuum environment. The transport of some existing target components 100 requires a high vacuum environment; for example, if the target component 100 is a target segment used in tumor radiation therapy, the target component 100 specifically needs to be transported in a high vacuum environment.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 3The gas processing assembly 2 may specifically include a first processing pump 21, a second processing pump 22, and a suction pipeline 23 connected to the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22; in addition, the gas processing assembly 2 may also include a support frame 28, a pressure detection element 24, a control module 25, a safety valve 27, and a three-way connector 26. The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are vacuum pumps, respectively.

[0038] The evacuation line 23 can be connected to the interior of the transfer assembly 1, allowing the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 to evacuate the interior of the transfer assembly 1 via the evacuation line 23. Through the cooperation of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22, compared to using a single evacuation device to evacuate the interior of the transfer assembly 1, the combination of two vacuum pumps in this application can increase the upper limit of the vacuum level achievable within the transfer assembly 1, enabling the interior of the transfer assembly 1 to meet the transfer requirements of the target component 100, which needs to be stored in a higher vacuum environment. Furthermore, the cooperation of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can also enable the interior of the transfer assembly 1 to quickly reach the vacuum level required by the target component 100, reducing the time the target component 100 is exposed to an environment with a vacuum level higher than its required level, thereby reducing the risk of the target component 100 malfunctioning. For example, when the target component 100 is a target segment, if the target component 100 is exposed to an environment with a vacuum level higher than its required level for a long time, the target component 100 may be oxidized. By using two vacuum pumps in combination to reduce the time that the target component 100 is exposed to an environment with a vacuum level higher than its required level, the risk of oxidation of the target component 100 or the degree of oxidation of the target component 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the target component 100 becoming defective.

[0039] In some specific embodiments, the first processing pump 21 can serve as a backing pump for the second processing pump 22, and the ultimate vacuum of the second processing pump 22 is greater than that of the first processing pump 21. During evacuation, the first processing pump 21 can perform evacuation first. When the vacuum level inside the transfer assembly 1 reaches the opening value of the second processing pump 22, the second processing pump 22 continues to evacuate the interior of the transfer assembly 1. The ultimate vacuum of the second processing pump 22 is greater than that of the first processing pump 21, meaning the upper limit of the vacuum level that the first processing pump 21 can achieve inside the transfer assembly 1 is lower than the upper limit of the vacuum level that the second processing pump 22 can achieve inside the transfer assembly 1. The opening value of the second processing pump 22 can be any specific value within the range of achieving a rough vacuum state in the transfer assembly 1. When the second processing pump 22 has not reached the opening value, only the first processing pump 21 evacuates the inside of the transfer assembly 1; when the second processing pump 22 reaches the opening value, the first processing pump 21 can be turned off, and at this time only the second processing pump 22 evacuates the inside of the transfer assembly 1, or the first processing pump 21 can continue to work, and the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 evacuate the inside of the transfer assembly 1 at the same time.

[0040] The first processing pump 21 is more suitable for vacuuming operations at low vacuum levels, while the second processing pump 22 is more suitable for vacuuming operations at high vacuum levels. Through the cooperation of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22, the first processing pump 21 can quickly bring the vacuum level within the transfer assembly 1 to a rough vacuum state. Then, the second processing pump 22 can be activated and perform vacuuming, bringing the vacuum zone within the rotating unit to a high vacuum state or even an ultra-high vacuum state. Specifically, the first processing pump 21 can be a mechanical pump, and the second processing pump 22 can be a molecular pump.

[0041] If only the first processing pump 21 is used, it can only achieve a rough vacuum or low vacuum state within the transfer assembly 1, while the target component 100 needs to be in a high vacuum environment during transfer. Using only the first processing pump 21 makes it difficult to achieve the required vacuum level for the target component 100 within the transfer assembly 1, increasing the risk or degree of oxidation of the target component 100 within the transfer assembly 1. If only the second processing pump 22 is used, since it is mainly suitable for high vacuum scenarios, directly using the second processing pump 22 for vacuuming would overload the pump 22, potentially causing it to overheat or malfunction. In this application, the first processing pump 21 is used initially to achieve a rough vacuum state within the transfer assembly 1 in a short time, followed by vacuuming using the second processing pump 22. At this time, the load on the second processing pump 22 is reduced, and the second processing pump 22 can have a high pumping rate within a low pressure range, allowing the transfer assembly 1 to quickly reach a high vacuum state to meet the vacuum requirements of the target component 100 and improve the vacuuming rate. Among them, the rough vacuum state is when the air pressure is 10. 2 ~10 5 Pa, low vacuum state is when the air pressure is 10 Pa. -1 ~10 2 Pa, high vacuum is a pressure of 10 Pa. -6 ~10 -1 Pa, ultra-high vacuum is a pressure less than 10 Pa. -6 Pa.

[0042] The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can be configured in series or in parallel. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in series, the vacuum line 23 may include a first line 231 and a second line 232. One end of the first line 231 is connected to the first processing pump 21, and the other end of the first line 231 is connected to the second processing pump 22, so that the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in series through the first line 231. The series structure formed by the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, and the first line 231 is connected to one end of the second line 232, and the other end of the second line 232 is connected to the transfer assembly 1, so that the series structure formed by the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, and the first line 231 can evacuate the transfer assembly 1 through the second line 232. Specifically, the second pipeline 232 can be connected to the second processing pump 22, that is, the second processing pump 22 is connected to the first processing pump 21 through the first pipeline 231 and connected to the transfer assembly 1 through the second pipeline 232; or, in other embodiments, the second pipeline 232 can also be connected to the first processing pump 21, that is, the first processing pump 21 is connected to the second processing pump 22 through the first pipeline 231 and connected to the transfer assembly 1 through the second pipeline 232.

[0043] When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in parallel, the suction pipe 23 can have a first branch and a second branch, which are parallel routes and can be connected to the interior of the transfer assembly 1 respectively. For example, one end of the first branch extends to the transfer assembly 1 and connects to the interior of the transfer assembly 1, and one end of the second branch extends to the transfer assembly 1 and connects to the interior of the transfer assembly 1, with the first and second branches converging at the transfer assembly 1; or, the suction pipe 23 is also provided with a main pipe, with the first and second branches extending to the ends of the main pipe and connecting to the main pipe, and the other end of the main pipe extending to the transfer assembly 1 and connecting to the interior of the transfer assembly 1, that is, the first and second branches converge at the main pipe and connect to the interior of the transfer assembly 1 through the main pipe. The first branch is connected to the first processing pump 21 so that the first processing pump 21 can evacuate the transfer assembly 1 through the first branch; the second branch is connected to the second processing pump 22 so that the second processing pump 22 can evacuate the transfer assembly 1 through the second branch; at this time, the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in parallel.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, the first processing pump 21 may not be the backing pump for the second processing pump 22. The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are started simultaneously to evacuate the transfer assembly 1, and the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in series. When evacuation of the transfer assembly 1 is required, the series-connected first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can operate simultaneously to increase the upper limit of the vacuum level achievable by the transfer assembly 1 through the combination of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22. The series connection method of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 is the same as the series connection method described above, that is, the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected by an evacuation pipeline 23 including a first pipeline 231 and a second pipeline 232. Both the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can be mechanical pumps.

[0045] When the vacuum pump group consisting of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 evacuates the transfer assembly 1, the pressure detection element 24 can detect the vacuum level inside the transfer assembly 1. During evacuation, the interiors of the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, the evacuation pipeline 23, and the transfer assembly 1 are located in a continuous, interconnected space. The gas pressure within this continuous space is essentially the same. The pressure detection element 24 can be installed at any position within this continuous space to obtain the internal pressure of the transfer assembly 1, thereby determining the vacuum level inside the transfer assembly 1. The pressure detection element 24 is a component capable of detecting gas pressure, such as a vacuum gauge.

[0046] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can be connected in series. When the first processing pump 21 is connected to the second pipeline 232, the pressure detection element 24 can be installed at the connection between the second pipeline 232 and the first processing pump 21. When the second processing pump 22 is connected to the second pipeline 232, the pressure detection element 24 can be installed at the connection between the second pipeline 232 and the second processing pump 22. Specifically, the pressure detection element 24 is installed at the connection between the second pipeline 232 and the second processing pump 22. A three-way connector 26 is provided at the connection position between the second processing pump 22 and the second pipeline 232. The internal space of the three-way connector 26 is located in a continuous space formed by the interior of the first processing pump 21, the interior of the second processing pump 22, the interior of the suction pipeline 23, and the interior of the transfer assembly 1. The three-way connector 26 has three connection ports, one of which is connected to the second processing pump 22, one of which is connected to the second pipeline 232, and one of which is used to install the pressure detection element 24.

[0047] Reference Figure 2In some specific embodiments, the control module 25 can be connected to the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, and the pressure detection element 24. The control module 25 can control the start and stop of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22, and can be connected to the pressure detection element 24 to receive pressure data detected by the pressure detection element 24. When it is necessary to evacuate the transfer assembly 1, if the first processing pump 21 serves as the pre-pump for the second processing pump 22, the control module 25 first sends a control signal to the first processing pump 21 to start it and evacuate the inside of the transfer assembly 1; when the pressure detection element 24 detects that the vacuum level inside the transfer assembly 1 reaches the opening value of the second processing pump 22, the control module 25 sends a control signal to the second processing pump 22 to start it, and the second processing pump 22 evacuates the inside of the transfer assembly 1; at this time, if it is necessary to stop the first processing pump 21, the control module 25 can also send a control signal to the first processing pump 21 to stop it. When the pressure detection element 24 detects that the vacuum level inside the transfer assembly 1 meets the vacuum level requirement for the transfer of the target component 100, the control module 25 can send a control signal to stop both the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 from running. Specifically, the control module 25 can be an electrical cabinet.

[0048] If the first processing pump 21 is not the pre-pump of the second processing pump 22, the control module 25 sends a control signal to the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 to start the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 to evacuate the inside of the transfer assembly 1; when the pressure detection element 24 detects that the vacuum degree inside the transfer assembly 1 meets the storage requirements of the target component 100 during transfer, the control module 25 can send a control signal to stop both the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22.

[0049] The control module 25 can automatically control the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22. For example, when the control module 25 determines that the opening value of the second processing pump 22 has been reached based on the data detected by the pressure detection element 24, it automatically controls the second processing pump 22 to start. When the data detected by the pressure detection element 24 determines that the vacuum degree in the transfer assembly 1 meets the vacuum degree requirement for the transfer of the target component 100, it automatically controls the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 to stop. Alternatively, the control module 25 can also be equipped with interactive buttons and a display interface. The start / stop status of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22, as well as the vacuum degree information detected by the pressure detection element 24, can be displayed on the display interface for easy observation by the user. The user can press the corresponding interactive button to transmit the corresponding control signal, thereby controlling the start / stop of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22.

[0050] The control module 25 can be connected to the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, or the pressure detection device 24 via a connecting wire. Alternatively, the control module 25 can also be wirelessly connected to the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, or the pressure detection device 24. The control module 25 and the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, or the pressure detection device 24 each have built-in wireless signal transceivers, so that the control module 25 and the first processing pump 21, the second processing pump 22, or the pressure detection device 24 can be connected via wireless signal transceivers.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, the control module 25 can also be connected to the safety valve 27. When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 evacuate the transfer assembly 1, if the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 do not stop in time or due to internal malfunctions of the transfer device, the vacuum inside the transfer device may become too high. At this time, the control module 25 determines that the vacuum inside the transfer device is too high and exceeds the maximum safety value based on the pressure information detected by the pressure detection element 24. The control module 25 can then control the safety valve 27 to open, connecting the safety valve 27 to the outside to reduce the vacuum inside the transfer device. Once the vacuum inside the transfer device reaches a normal value, the safety valve 27 can be closed. Specifically, the safety valve 27 can form a continuous spatial connection with the interior of the first processing pump 21, the interior of the second processing pump 22, the interior of the evacuation pipeline 23, and the interior of the transfer assembly 1. Specifically, the safety valve 27 can be located at the connection between the first processing pump 21 and the first pipeline 231.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aforementioned first processing pump 21, second processing pump 22, control module 25, extraction pipeline 23, three-way connector 26, safety valve 27, pressure detection device 24, etc., are installed on the support frame 28 directly or indirectly, so that when the support frame 28 moves, all components of the gas processing assembly 2 can move together. To facilitate the movement of the gas processing assembly 2, the bottom of the support frame 28 is provided with multiple rollers 281, which contact the ground to facilitate movement. Specifically, the support frame 28 may have four rollers 281, distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 28.

[0053] Reference Figures 4 to 6The transfer assembly 1 has a sealed chamber 11 inside, which is used to accommodate the target component 100. Specifically, the transfer assembly 1 may include a box 14 with an opening 141 and a cover plate 15 covering the opening 141. The cover plate 15 and the box 14 together form the sealed chamber 11. When the target component 100 needs to be placed, the cover plate 15 can be separated from the box 14, the target component 100 can be placed into the box 14 through the opening 141, and then the cover plate 15 can be placed on the box 14 so that the target component 100 is located in the sealed chamber 11. The joint between the cover plate 15 and the box 14 can be precision machined, that is, machined using existing high-precision machining methods, so that the contour of the cover plate 15 is the same as that of the corresponding position of the box 14, thereby improving the sealing effect after the cover plate 15 and the box 14 are joined. In addition, to improve the sealing effect of the transfer assembly 1, a sealing structure, which can be a sealing ring, is provided at the joint between the cover plate 15 and the box 14. The sealing effect of the connection between the cover plate 15 and the box body 14 can be further enhanced by setting a sealing ring.

[0054] To facilitate connection with the gas processing assembly 2, the transfer assembly 1 is also equipped with a connecting valve 12 that communicates with the sealed chamber 11. The connecting valve 12 can be mounted on the cover plate 15. For example, the cover plate 15 has a through hole, and the connecting valve 12 is located at the through hole of the cover plate 15 and can seal the through hole. The connecting valve 12 can be detachably connected to the vacuum line 23 of the gas processing assembly 2. When it is necessary to evacuate the sealed chamber 11 in the transfer assembly 1, the vacuum line 23 is connected to the connecting valve 12, and the connecting valve 12 is opened to allow the vacuum line 23 to communicate with the sealed chamber 11. The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 cooperate to evacuate the sealed chamber 11. When the vacuum level in the sealed chamber 11 meets the requirements for storing the target component 100, the connecting valve 12 can be closed to disconnect the vacuum line 23 from the sealed chamber 11, and the vacuum line 23 can be separated from the connecting valve 12. At this time, the transfer assembly 1 can be transferred independently. Specifically, the connecting valve 12 can be an angle valve.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 To facilitate the transfer of the transfer component 1, the transfer component 1 can be equipped with rollers 281. Specifically, multiple rollers 281 are provided on the bottom of the box 14, and the box 14 contacts the ground through the rollers 281. Specifically, four rollers 281 can be provided on the bottom of the box 14, and the four rollers 281 can be distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the box 14.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6To prevent the target component 100 from shaking during transport, a fixing component 13 located within the sealed chamber 11 is also provided in the transport assembly 1. The fixing component 13 is used to fix the target component 100 within the sealed chamber 11. Specifically, the fixing component 13 includes a base 131 and a pressure plate 132 disposed opposite to each other, and an adjusting member 133 connecting the base 131 and the pressure plate 132. The base 131 is used to support the target component 100, and the base 131 may be provided with a mounting groove 134 for mounting the target component 100. The wall forming the mounting groove 134 abuts against and supports the target component 100, and the wall forming the mounting groove 134 can be used to restrict the movement of the target component 100. The pressure plate 132 is located above the target component 100 and can press the target component 100 to fix the target component 100. The adjusting component 133 is used to adjust the distance between the pressure plate 132 and the base 131. When the target component 100 needs to be installed, the pressure plate 132 can be moved away from the base 131, at which point the distance between the pressure plate 132 and the base 131 is greater than the height of the target component 100. After the target component 100 is placed, the pressure plate 132 is moved toward the base 131 to press the target component 100. The adjusting component 133 can be a bolt with two nuts threaded to the rod body. The two nuts clamp the pressure plate 132, and the position of the pressure plate 132 can be adjusted by turning the nuts.

[0057] In this embodiment, multiple pressure plates 132 and bases 131 can be provided. For example, two pressure plates 132 and two bases 131 can be provided respectively. The two bases 131 are used to support the opposite ends of the target component 100. The pressure plates 132 correspond one-to-one with the bases 131 and are located above the corresponding bases 131. The two pressure plates 132 press against the opposite ends of the target component 100. Each pressure plate 132 can be adjusted by multiple adjusting members 133. For example, each pressure plate 132 can be adjusted by two adjusting members 133, and the two adjusting members 133 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the center position of the pressure plate 132.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] This embodiment is basically the same as the transfer device in Embodiment 1, except that the first processing pump 21 in this embodiment is a vacuum pump, and the second processing pump 22 is a gas filling pump. The first processing pump 21 is used to evacuate the sealed chamber 11 in the transfer assembly 1, and the second processing pump 22 is used to introduce the target gas into the sealed chamber 11 in the transfer assembly 1. The target material 100 stored in the transfer assembly 1 is a material that needs to be stored in a special atmosphere. For example, the target gas introduced into the sealed chamber 11 by the second processing pump 22 can be an inert gas such as argon, and the target component 100 is an easily oxidized material that needs to be stored in an inert gas such as argon.

[0060] When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in series, one of them operates while the other stops. Specifically, when it is necessary to create an argon atmosphere inside the sealed chamber 11, the first processing pump 21 operates while the second processing pump 22 stops. The first processing pump 21 evacuates the sealed chamber 11, and the pressure detection element 24 can be used to detect the pressure inside the sealed chamber 11 to determine the evacuation status. After the first processing pump 21 finishes evacuating the sealed chamber 11, it stops while the second processing pump 22 operates. The second processing pump 22 introduces target gases such as argon into the sealed chamber 11, and the pressure detection element 24 can be used to detect the pressure inside the sealed chamber 11 to determine the filling status. Whether the evacuation in the sealed chamber 11 is complete can be determined by the degree of vacuum in the sealed chamber 11. When the vacuum reaches a predetermined value, the evacuation is considered complete. Whether the inflation in the sealed chamber 11 is complete can be determined by the pressure in the sealed chamber 11. When the pressure reaches a predetermined value, the inflation is considered complete.

[0061] The vacuum level and pressure in the sealed chamber 11 are detected by the pressure detection element 24, and the pressure detection element 24 feeds back the detection data to the control module 25 so that the control module 25 can control the start and stop of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 based on the data detected by the pressure detection element 24.

[0062] When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are connected in parallel, one of the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 can operate while the other stops; or, the connection between the first processing pump 21 or the second processing pump 22 and the sealed chamber 11 can be blocked so that the first processing pump 21 or the second processing pump 22 stops processing the sealed chamber 11.

[0063] In this embodiment, the safety valve 27 can be used to release pressure when the pressure in the sealed chamber 11 becomes too high, and the safety valve 27 can be closed when the pressure in the sealed chamber 11 reaches a normal value.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] This embodiment is basically the same as the transfer device in Embodiment 1, except that the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 in this embodiment are air pumps. The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are used together to inflate the transfer assembly 1.

[0066] Before the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 are filled with gas, the air in the sealed chamber 11 of the transfer assembly 1 does not need to be discharged beforehand. The first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 fill the sealed chamber 11 with the target gas. The target gas will mix with the original air in the sealed chamber 11 to increase the concentration of the target gas in the sealed chamber 11. This will allow the environment inside the sealed chamber 11 to meet the storage requirements of the target component 100, which is a component that needs to be stored in an environment with a certain concentration of target gas.

[0067] Alternatively, the transfer assembly 1 may be provided with an exhaust port communicating with the sealed chamber 11 and a sealing element that cooperates with the exhaust port. The sealing element can be used to seal the exhaust port. When it is necessary to use the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 to inflate the sealed chamber 11, the sealing element can be removed to allow the sealed chamber 11 to communicate with the outside through the exhaust port. When the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 introduce the target gas into the sealed chamber 11, the target gas will compress the original gas in the sealed chamber 11, so that the original gas in the sealed chamber 11 will be discharged from the exhaust port. As the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 continuously introduce the target gas into the sealed chamber 11, the concentration of the original gas in the sealed chamber 11 will gradually decrease and the concentration of the target gas will gradually increase, thereby meeting the storage requirements of the target component 100. After the first processing pump 21 and the second processing pump 22 have finished inflating, the sealing element is used to seal the exhaust port to keep the sealed chamber 11 in a sealed state. The target gas can be an inert gas such as argon.

[0068] By using two air pumps to inflate the sealed chamber 11, the inflation efficiency can be accelerated, allowing the contents of the sealed chamber 11 to quickly transform into a high-concentration target gas to meet the storage requirements of the target component 100. Furthermore, if one of the two air pumps fails, the other can still perform inflation to ensure the supply of the target gas to the sealed chamber 11. In addition, simultaneous inflation by both pumps can increase the upper limit of gas pressure within the sealed chamber 11, enabling the transfer assembly 1 to store components that require storage in a high-pressure inert gas atmosphere.

[0069] In this embodiment, the safety valve 27 can be used to release pressure when the pressure in the sealed chamber 11 becomes too high, and the safety valve 27 can be closed when the pressure in the sealed chamber 11 reaches a normal value.
