Preferably, the sealing member is disc-shaped, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are arranged between the sealing member and the end face of the end part of the quartz tube, and the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring are in the horizontal arrangement state.
More preferably, the locking mechanism comprises a first clamp ring which is annularly abutted against the outer peripheral part of the end part of the quartz tube, and a first bolt for locking the sealing element on the first clamp ring.
Preferably, the sealing member is cup-shaped, the first and second sealing rings are provided between an inner peripheral portion of the sealing member and an outer peripheral portion of the quartz tube, and the first and second sealing rings are in the vertical arrangement.
More preferably, the locking mechanism includes a second clamp ring that abuts against an outer peripheral portion of the quartz tube, and a second bolt for locking the sealing member on the second clamp ring, and the second clamp ring includes a convex ring that extends between the inner peripheral portion of the sealing member and the outer peripheral portion of the quartz tube and abuts against the first sealing ring or the second sealing ring.
Preferably, the first sealing ring, the second sealing ring, the quartz tube and the annular spacer all extend coaxially.
Because of above-mentioned technical scheme's application, compared with the prior art, the utility model have the following advantage: the utility model relates to a quartz capsule high vacuum seal structure is through setting up two sealing washers between the tip at sealing member and quartz capsule to through the annular gap evacuation of extraction opening between with two sealing washers, arbitrary sealing washer department takes place to leak, and the high vacuum environment in the quartz capsule can continue to be guaranteed to the homoenergetic.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the high vacuum sealing structure for the quartz tube comprises a sealing element 2 arranged at the end of the quartz tube 1, a first sealing ring 3 and a second sealing ring 4 arranged between the sealing element 2 and the quartz tube 1, a locking mechanism for locking the sealing element 2 at the end of the quartz tube 1, an annular gap 5 arranged in the sealing element 2 and located between the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4, and an air suction opening 6 arranged on the sealing element 2 and communicated with the annular gap 5.
In the present embodiment, the quartz tube 1 extends in the up-down direction. The first seal ring 3 and the second seal ring 4 have a horizontally arranged state and a vertically arranged state:
when the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4 are in a horizontal arrangement state, the first sealing ring 3 is positioned in the second sealing ring 4, and the first sealing ring 3, the second sealing ring 4 and the quartz tube 1 coaxially extend. When the second sealing ring 4 leaks, the high vacuum environment in the quartz tube 1 cannot be damaged due to the existence of the first sealing ring 3; when the first sealing ring 3 leaks, the annular gap 5 between the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4 is vacuumized, the leaking part is communicated with the annular gap 5 and is not communicated with the external atmospheric pressure, and therefore the high-vacuum environment in the quartz tube 1 cannot be damaged.
When first sealing washer 3 and second sealing washer 4 are in vertical arrangement state, seal structure is still including locating annular spacer 13 in annular clearance 5, set up on annular spacer 13 and first gas pocket 11 and the second gas pocket 12 of intercommunication each other, first gas pocket 11 and extraction opening 6 intercommunication, second gas pocket 12 is used for communicateing first sealing washer 3 and second sealing washer 4, first gas pocket 11 extends along the horizontal direction, second gas pocket 12 extends along vertical direction, the upper and lower both ends of second gas pocket 12 all communicate with annular clearance 5. The first sealing ring 3 is close to the lower end of the quartz tube 1, and the second sealing ring 4 is far away from the lower end of the quartz tube 1. Because the material of sealing washer is softer, in order to guarantee the even deformation of two sealing washers, set up harder annular shock insulator 13 between the two, the both ends of annular shock insulator 13 are used for two sealing washers of conflict respectively, and first sealing washer 3, second sealing washer 4, annular shock insulator 13, the coaxial extension of quartz capsule 1. Similarly, when the second sealing ring 4 leaks, the high vacuum environment in the quartz tube 1 cannot be damaged due to the existence of the first sealing ring 3; when the first sealing ring 3 leaks, the annular gap 5 between the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4 is vacuumized, the leaking part is communicated with the annular gap 5 and is not communicated with the external atmospheric pressure, and therefore the high-vacuum environment in the quartz tube 1 cannot be damaged.

The locking mechanism comprises a first compression ring 7 which is annularly abutted against the periphery of the outer side of the end part of the quartz tube 1 and is positioned below the sealing element 2, and a first bolt 8 for locking the sealing element 2 on the first compression ring 7. The outer diameter of the first compression ring 7 is the same as that of the disc-shaped sealing element 2, and the first compression ring and the disc-shaped sealing element are locked with each other in the vertical direction through a first bolt 8; the inner diameter of the first clamp ring 7 is the same as the outer diameter of the upper end of the quartz tube 1.
In the present embodiment, the sealing member 2 corresponding to the lower opening of the quartz tube 1 is in the shape of a cup with an upward opening, the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4 are disposed between the inner peripheral portion of the sealing member 2 and the outer peripheral portion of the quartz tube 1, and the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4 are in a vertical arrangement.
