By the driving of motor 3, opposite direction rotates pump rotor to each other, and the gas in vacuum chamber 11 is blocked in pump and turned Blast pipe 9 is transplanted between son and rotor case 22.Transferred by being carried out continuously such gas, to the gas in vacuum chamber 11 Body carries out vacuum exhaust.
Then, reference picture 5 is illustrated to the control sequence of pump installation 1.Fig. 5 is the control sequence for representing pump installation 1 Figure.In the outside of pump installation 1 host controller 41 is provided with as external command device.Pump installation 1 and host controller 41 are passed through Connected by communication signal transmissions unit or contact.When host controller 41 generates the start command signal of pump 2, enabled instruction Signal is passed to control device 5, and pump 2 starts.Host controller 41 is, for example, the control for the action for controlling semiconductor- fabricating device Device processed.Outside that can also be as external command device in pump installation 1 sets guidance panel, passes through the operation of staff The start command signal of pump 2 is sent to control device 5 from guidance panel.
When control device 5 receives the start command signal of pump 2, control device 5 to inverter 4 send instruct so that its Drive motor 3 is come with rotating speed of target set in advance.Inverter 4 will be with target when receiving the instruction for carrying out self-control device 5 The corresponding power supply of rotating speed is to motor 3.The optimum value of the voltage applied to motor 3 is determined by the specification of coil 40.For example, In the case of permanent-magnet type DC motors, the rotating speed and generally proportionate therefore proportional to the rotating speed electricity of service voltage of motor 3 Pressure is applied to motor 3.The torque of motor 3 is controlled by being supplied to the size of the electric current of motor 3.Control device 5 controls inverse Become the output power of device 4 so that motor 3 is rotated with rotating speed of target.The rotating speed of motor 3 can be by rotation sensing (not shown) Device is detected, or can also calculate turning for motor 3 according to the electric current by the current feedback for flowing through motor 3 to control device 5 Speed.Or, the current feedback of motor 3 can also will be flowed through to inverter 4, and inverter 4 calculates turning for motor 3 according to the electric current Speed.
In pump installation 1, multiple temperature sensors are also equipped with addition to pump temperature sensor 14.Reference picture 6 is to this A little temperature sensors are illustrated.Fig. 6 is the figure at the configuration position for representing the temperature sensor in pump installation 1.Pump temperature is sensed Device 14 is installed on pump case 20, determines pump case 20.Bearing temperature sensor 42 is configured near the bearing 25 of pump 2, determines axle Hold 25 temperature.Rotor temperature sensor 43 is configured at the inside of pump 2, determines the temperature of pump rotor 21.Motor temperature sensor 44 are installed on the coil 40 of motor 3, determine the temperature of motor 3.Intake air temperature sensor 45 is installed on air inlet pipe 8, determines to pump 2 The temperature of the gas of inflow.Exhaust gas temperature sensor 46 is installed on blast pipe 9, determines the temperature for the gas discharged from pump 2.By this The temperature that a little temperature sensors are detected is converted into temperature signal by each temperature sensor, and is sent to control device 5.Enter And, the temperature signal obtained by each temperature sensor is sent to host controller 41 from control device 5.It is being difficult to TEMP In the case that device is installed on coil 40, control device 5 can also estimate the temperature of coil 40 according to the output current of inverter 4 Degree.
By the electric current more than continuous rating current value be supplied to motor 3 as a result, when the heat of motor 3 and inverter 4 surpasses When crossing the cooling capacity of pump installation 1 itself, motor 3 and inverter 4 can be overheated.If however, overheated in inverter 4 and motor 3 Reduce current value before, then being capable of the temporary flow electric current bigger than continuous rating current value.In this manual, can be temporary by this Shi Liudong maximum current value is referred to as instantaneous load current value.
Control device 5 has the limits value for the electric current for exporting inverter 4 in the driving of motor 3 in the 1st current limit The function of being switched between value and the 2nd current limit value.1st current limit value is above-mentioned continuous rating current value, the 2nd electricity It is above-mentioned instantaneous load current value to flow limits value.These the 1st current limit values and the 2nd current limit value are stored in advance in control In device 5.The specific switching of 7 pairs of reference picture is illustrated.
Fig. 7 is the figure for the switching for representing the 1st current limit value and the 2nd current limit value.As shown in fig. 7, the energy of control device 5 Enough switch the 1st current limit value and the 2nd current limit value.In order to prevent the failure of motor 3 and inverter 4, the 1st current limit value It is configured to the smaller side in the continuous rating current value of the continuous rating current value of motor 3 and inverter 4.Equally, the 2nd electricity Stream limits value is configured to the smaller side in the instantaneous load current value of the instantaneous load current value of motor 3 and inverter 4. In Fig. 7, because the continuous rating current value of the continuous rating current value ratio inverter 4 of motor 3 is small, so the continuous volume of motor 3 Determine current value and be configured to the 1st current limit value.Due to instantaneous specified electricity of the instantaneous load current value than inverter 4 of motor 3 Flow valuve is small, so the instantaneous load current value of motor 3 is configured to the 2nd current limit value.
The size of instantaneous load current value is determined by the time of streaming current.Therefore, it is short in the time of streaming current In the case of, compared with the situation of the time length of streaming current, bigger electric current can be flowed.2nd current limit value is configured to Several times~decades of times of continuous rating current value.
The preferred pair of control device 5 switches to the aggregate-value of the number of times of the 2nd current limit value to be counted from the 1st current limit value Number, in the case of predetermined threshold value has been exceeded in the aggregate-value, control device 5 reduces the 2nd current limit value in itself.Or, control Device 5 processed can also be counted to the frequency switched from the 1st current limit value to the 2nd current limit value, in the frequency than pre- In the case that fixed threshold value is high, control device 5 reduces the 2nd current limit value in itself.
The condition of 8 pairs of the 1st current limit values of switching of reference picture and the 2nd current limit value is illustrated.Fig. 8 is to represent pump 2 Operating control the figure of one.In fig. 8, current limit value corresponding with 15kW electric power is set to the 1st current limit value, Current limit value corresponding with 20kW electric power is set to the 2nd current limit value.In the example shown in Fig. 8, passed by pump temperature Sensor 14, motor temperature sensor 44 and bearing temperature sensor 42 determine pump temperature, motor temperature and bearing temperature.Respectively From the higher limit of temperature be set to 100 DEG C.In addition, the operating condition shown in Fig. 8 is not limited to this, can also arbitrarily it set Determine operating condition.For example, because the temperature that temperature sensor is detected is different according to the position difference of setting, therefore each temperature Higher limit is not limited to this.Further, since the 1st current limit value and the 2nd current limit value all according to the inverter used and Motor is different and different, therefore is not limited to example illustrated.
In the case where continuously running the situation (condition 1) of pump 2, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is configured to the 1st electric current limit Value processed.In the case where starting the situation (condition 2) of pump 2, control device 5 is by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from the 1st current limit Value switches to the 2nd current limit value.Thus, the torque increase of motor 3, can make pump 2 be increase rapidly up to normal speed.From pump 2 were initiated through after the scheduled time (in Fig. 8 be 30 seconds), and control device 5 is by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from the 2 current limit values switch to the 1st current limit value.Stably operated thereby, it is possible to not make pump 3 and inverter 4 break down Pump 2.
When product enters pump 2, the load to motor 3 increases, and hampers the operating of pump 2.By the product of entrance In the situation (condition 3) of removing, control device 5 limits the output current of inverter 4 according to the instruction from host controller 41 Value processed switches to the 2nd current limit value from the 1st current limit value.Become when the temperature of pump 2 exceedes as 100 DEG C of its higher limit For 120 DEG C when, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched to the 1st current limit by control device 5 from the 2nd current limit value Value.When the temperature of pump 2 is changed into below 100 DEG C, according to the instruction from host controller 41, control device 5 is again by inversion The output current limits value of device 4 switches to the 2nd current limit value from the 1st current limit value.
Atmospheric pressure in by vacuum chamber 11 gas discharge situation (condition 4) under, control device 5 with the institute of condition 3 The operating condition shown carries out the control of inverter 4 under the same conditions.When pump 2 starts, for the drop of the rotating speed that prevents pump 2 Low, according to the instruction from host controller 41, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched to the 2nd electric current by control device 5 Limits value.When the temperature of motor 3 is changed into 120 DEG C and motor temperature sensor 44 detects this case, control device 5 will be inverse The output current limits value for becoming device 4 switches to the 1st current limit value from the 2nd current limit value.When the temperature of motor 3 is changed into 100 When below DEG C, according to the instruction from host controller 41, control device 5 again by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from 1st current limit value switches to the 2nd current limit value.
The above-mentioned switching from the 1st current limit value to the 2nd current limit value, according to the instruction from host controller 41 To carry out, but it is also possible to control device 5 is carried out the judgement of the switching of the output current limits value of inverter 4.9 pairs of tools of reference picture The judgement of the switching of the output current limits value of body is illustrated.Fig. 9 is for illustrating sentencing for the switching of output current limits value Disconnected figure.Transverse axis shown in Fig. 9 represents the output current of inverter 4, and the longitudinal axis represents the rotating speed of pump 2.It is sufficiently small in the load of pump 2 In the case of, inverter 4 exports the electric current smaller than the 1st limitation current value, pump 2 is operated (P1) with normal speed.Control device 5 The output current of inverter 4 is adjusted according to the load of pump 2, so that the invariablenes turning speed of pump 2.When the load increase of pump 2, inversion Device 4 exports the electric current suitable with the 1st current limit value, pump 2 is operated (P2) with normal speed.
When the load of pump 2 further increases, the rotating speed reduction (P3) of pump 2.In the output of inverter 4 and the 1st current limit When being worth suitable electric current, if control device 5 detects the reduction of the rotating speed of pump 2, control device 5 is electric by the output of inverter 4 Stream limits value switches to the 2nd current limit value from the 1st current limit value.Thus, the output current of inverter 4 rises to the 2nd electricity Flow limits value (P4).The electric current suitable with the 2nd current limit value is supplied to motor 3 by inverter 4, and the thus torque of motor 3 increases Greatly, the rotating speed of pump 2 returns to normal speed (P5).If load reduces, control device 5 limits the output current of inverter 4 Value processed switches to the 1st limitation current value (P2) from the 2nd current limit value.In the case where load is still big, to be limited with the 2nd electric current The corresponding electric power of system value carrys out drive motor 3.In order to prevent the overheat of motor 3 and inverter 4, in motor 3 with the 2nd current limit value The duration of runs exceeded the predetermined time in the case of, control device 5 by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from the 2nd electricity Stream limits value switches to the 1st current limit value.
In the standby operating of pump 2, control device 5 controls inverter 4 so that the rotating speed of motor 3 drops to necessary minimum The rotating speed (P6) of degree.By the operation of signal or guidance panel from host controller 41, pump 2 returns to specified speed immediately Degree.
In order to prevent the failure caused by the overheat of pump unit, control device 5 has fault-avoidance function.For example, by The temperature that at least one temperature sensor measurement goes out in temperature sensor 14,42,43,44,45 and 46 has exceeded predetermined threshold value In the case of, the fault-avoidance Function effect of control device 5 limits the output current limits value of inverter 4 from the 2nd electric current Value processed switches to the 1st current limit value.In the case where the detection temperature of said temperature sensor has exceeded predetermined threshold value, control Device 5 processed can also reduce the 2nd current limit value in itself.
In above-mentioned example, the predetermined time is exceeded in the output time of the electric current suitable with the 2nd current limit value In the case of, control device 5 switches to the 1st current limit value from the 2nd current limit value.Replace, control device 5 can also According to the flow of the gas detected by flow sensor 13 by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from the 2nd current limit value Switch to the 1st current limit value.For example, in the case where discharging a large amount of gases, control device 5, which is received, comes from host controller 41 Or the signal of guidance panel, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched into the 2nd current limit value from the 1st current limit value, It is when the flow-reduction determined by flow sensor 13 is to predetermined value, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is electric from the 2nd Stream limits value switches to the 1st current limit value.
In the case that the output current of inverter 4 is big few although the flow determined by flow sensor 13, it is believed that Pump rotor 21 is attached with product.Therefore, in such cases it is preferred to by by the output current limits value of inverter 4 from 1st current limit value switches to the 2nd current limit value to remove product.Specifically, preferably, by flow sensor 13 The flow determined be below predetermined threshold value and the output current of inverter 4 be it is more than predetermined threshold value in the case of, control The output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched to the 2nd current limit value by device 5 from the 1st current limit value.By flow sensing In the case that the flow that device 13 is determined is big and output current of inverter 4 is also big, it is believed that this is common operating condition, therefore The output current limits value of inverter 4 is maintained the 1st current limit value.
In addition, in the case where the aggregate-value of the output power of inverter 4 has exceeded predetermined threshold value, control device 5 can So that the output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched into the 1st current limit value from the 2nd current limit value.Specifically, control dress The output power of inverter 4 can be stored by the often predetermined unit interval (such as 0.1 second) by putting 5, calculate (the example during predetermined Such as the several seconds) every above-mentioned predetermined unit interval output power aggregate-value, predetermined threshold value has been exceeded in the aggregate-value In the case of, the output current limits value of inverter 4 is switched into the 1st current limit value from the 2nd current limit value.
In the case where the switching from the 1st current limit value to the 2nd current limit value frequently occurs, it is believed that due to foreign matter Into etc. the external cause danger that causes pump 2 to stop it is high.Therefore control device 5 is preferably from the 1st current limit value to the 2nd electric current The frequency of limits value switching gives a warning in the case of being higher than predetermined threshold value.Additionally, it is preferred that passing through communication signal transmissions unit Or contacts, by warning notice to host controller 41 or guidance panel.
As described above, control device 5 temporarily increases the output current limits value of inverter 4, thus, it is possible to prevent pump unit Overheat, operate pump unit Simultaneous Stabilization.
