Siegbahn Vacuum Pump Projecting Portions Flow Continuity

The patent extracts the exhaust function from the inwardly bent flow path space by introducing a separate exhaust conduit that directly connects the upstream and downstream regions. This removes the harmful space where momentum was lost while preserving the simplified pump structure.

The exhaust conduit acts as an intermediary element that bridges the upstream and downstream regions, providing a dedicated pathway for gas molecules to maintain their momentum while transitioning between stages. This mediator prevents the momentum loss that occurred in the original inwardly bent flow path design.

The patent segments the flow path into distinct functional zones: the inwardly bent flow path for structural simplicity and the separate exhaust conduit for momentum preservation. This segmentation allows each zone to be optimized independently, enabling reduced flow path size without sacrificing exhaust efficiency.

The exhaust conduit ensures continuous and efficient exhaust action by providing a direct, dedicated pathway for gas molecules. This continuity maintains momentum throughout the exhaust process, allowing the pump to achieve high exhaust efficiency even with reduced flow path dimensions and material usage.

The patent merges the exhaust functions of multiple stages into a unified exhaust conduit system. By combining the exhaust pathways and using common exhaust conduits across stages, the pump achieves high compression ratios without proportionally increasing device complexity or manufacturing costs.

The exhaust conduit is designed with multi-functionality, serving as the exhaust pathway for multiple stages simultaneously. This universal component performs the exhaust function across different stages, reducing the need for separate exhaust systems for each stage and thereby lowering overall device complexity while maintaining high compression performance.
