Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum pump technology, specifically a claw-type vacuum pump. Background Technology

[0002] Claw-type vacuum pumps belong to the category of positive displacement dry vacuum pumps. Their core working principle involves a pair of non-contact claw-shaped rotors rotating synchronously in opposite directions within the pump chamber. By periodically changing the volume of the working chamber, they complete the processes of gas intake, compression, and discharge. Because no lubricating fluid or working fluid is required during operation, this type of pump can provide a clean vacuum environment.

[0003] In terms of structural design, the claw rotor and pump shaft are usually constructed separately. Due to the unique shape of the pump chamber, the rotor cannot be made as a single unit with the pump shaft and must be manufactured separately before assembly. To facilitate installation and disassembly, an interference fit is not recommended between the rotor and pump shaft. Therefore, the most common connection method on the market is a clearance fit, supplemented by keys and keyways to transmit torque.

[0004] However, this clearance fit introduces certain structural weaknesses during operation. During vacuum pump operation, the rotor periodically bears the reverse force generated by gas compression. Due to the clearances between the key and keyway, and between the pump shaft and rotor shaft bore, the rotor experiences minute periodic wobble and collisions on the pump shaft under stress. Over long-term operation, this repeated impact and friction leads to wear on the rotor's inner bore, keyway, and corresponding parts of the pump shaft, thus affecting the service life of both the rotor and pump shaft. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the claw-shaped rotor has a counterweight cavity, and the outer ends of the rotor through hole and the rotor threaded hole are connected to the counterweight cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the first fixing member is located in the keyway of the claw rotor, the third fixing member is located in the keyway of the shaft, and a gap is provided between the first fixing member and the third fixing member.

[0013] (2) During installation, screw the bolt into the rotor thread hole to push the first fixing part down, so that the three fixing parts together fill the keyway on the claw rotor and the shaft, so as to achieve reliable fixing and suppress the micro-motion phenomenon.

[0020] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the specific structure of the fixing component 4 includes a first fixing member 41, a second fixing member 42, and a third fixing member 43 arranged sequentially. Through the combined connection of the three fixing members, the claw rotor 1 and the shaft 2 can be completely positioned, effectively eliminating the relative micro-movement between them, thereby extending their service life.

The first inclined surface 413 is provided at the bottom of the first fixing member 41, and the first inclined surface 413 faces the second fixing member 42. In a specific embodiment, the claw rotor 1 has a rotor threaded hole 12, and a bolt is screwed into the rotor threaded hole 12, with one end of the bolt abutting against the top surface 411.

[0022] During installation, screwing the bolts into the rotor threaded hole 12 will push the first fixing member 41 down, so that the three fixing members together fill the keyway on the claw rotor 1 and the shaft 2, achieving reliable fixation and suppressing fretting.

The bolt is inserted into the first threaded hole 414 through the rotor through hole 11.

[0026] During disassembly, simply screw a bolt into the first threaded hole 414 of the first fixing member 41, and use the jacking force to separate the first fixing member 41 and the third fixing member 43, so that the three fixing members can be detached as a whole, thereby easily removing the claw rotor 1 from the shaft 2.
