Definitions
- the invention relates to a twin-shaft vacuum pump with a pair of claw rotors rotating in the suction chamber, which together with the suction chamber wall forms a suction side and a pressure side.
- a twin-shaft vacuum pump of this type is known from EP-A-0 290 662.
- the rotors are each equipped with a claw (tooth) and a recess and perform their rotary motion in the scooping chamber in a meshing and contact-free manner.
- the respective cutouts control the inlet and outlet openings located in the side plates of the scoop chamber.
- twin-shaft vacuum pumps of the type described are therefore often used for evacuating vacuum chambers in which etching, coating or other vacuum treatment or manufacturing processes are carried out. In such operations there is a risk that solids get into the pump, and although also indirectly, that is to say that solid particles only form during the compression of the gases, that is to say during the passage of the gases to be discharged through the vacuum pump. Examples include the formation of aluminum chloride in aluminum etching, ammonium chloride in coating processes, etc.
- Solid particles that get directly or indirectly into the vacuum pump are deposited in the scooping chamber, including on the peripheral surfaces of the rotors, where they initially narrow the gap between the rotors. Further deposits cause the rotors to touch, which causes the solid particles to roll onto the rotor surfaces. If the deposits continue to increase, the rolled-on layer is thickened, so that a force is produced which pushes the rotors and thus the rotor shafts apart. This leads to bearing damage and thus to the failure of the pump, particularly if the rolled layer continues to grow.
- the present invention has for its object to prevent in a twin-shaft vacuum pump of the type mentioned that solid particles entering the vacuum pump accumulate in the scoop.
- this object is achieved in that a purge gas line opens on the pressure side into the scoop. If a flushing gas is supplied via this flushing gas line during operation of the pump, gas vortices arising in the scooping chamber prevent the deposition of solid particles entering the scooping chamber.
- the amount of purge gas supplied does not have to be very high, since otherwise the final pressure of the pump would be unnecessarily deteriorated. It is particularly advantageous if the purge gas at high speed, for. B. is supplied via a nozzle. The solid particles which are kept in suspension as a result of the eddies which are produced can then be conveyed to the next pump stage or to the pump outlet.
- the purge gas line is expediently located in the immediate vicinity of the gap seal of the two rotors. As a result, the particularly endangered peripheral surfaces of the two rotors are kept free of deposits.
- the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a three-stage vacuum pump 1 with two shafts 2 and 3 and three pairs of rotors 4, 5 or 6, 7 or 8, 9.
- the axial length of the rotors decreases from the suction side to the pressure side .
- the rotary pistons are of the claw type (see FIG. 2) and rotate in the scoops 11, 12, 13, which are formed by the shields 14 to 17 and the housing rings 18 to 20.
- the drive motor 22 is located next to the vertically arranged pump housing. Below the lower bearing plate 17, the shafts 2, 3 are equipped with gear wheels 23, 24 of the same diameter, which are used to synchronize the movement of the rotor pairs 4, 5 or 6, 7 or 8, 9 serve.
- the drive motor 22 also has a gearwheel 25 on its underside. The drive connection is established by a further gearwheel 26 which is in engagement with the gearwheels 24 and 25.
- the shafts 2, 3 are supported by roller bearings 27.
- the upper end plate 14 is equipped with a horizontally arranged connecting flange 28, which forms the inlet 29 of the pump.
- the inlet channel 31 opens at the end (opening 32) into the scoop chamber 11 of the first stage.
- the one on the front The outlet opening of the first stage is designated 33 and leads into the connecting channel 34.
- the connecting channel 34 located in the shield 15 is connected to the inlet opening 35 of the second stage.
- the end shield 16 is designed accordingly.
- Below the lowermost (third) pump stage is the outlet 36, which is connected to the front outlet opening 37 in the lower bearing plate 17.
- Figure 2 shows the contour of the rotors. They each have a claw 41, 42 and a recess 43, 44 and carry out their rotary movement according to the arrows 45 in a meshing and contactless manner.
- the gap seal located between the two rotors is designated by 46.
- the control of the inlet opening 32, 35 and the outlet opening 33, 37 takes place via the respective recess 43, 44.
- the rotors form two spaces 47 and 48, of which the enlarging space 47 is connected to the inlet opening 32, 35 .
- the space 47 therefore forms the suction side.
- the shrinking space 48 is connected to the outlet 33, 37 after a slight rotational movement. The space 48 thus forms the pressure side.
- the mouth 49 of a purge gas line is on the pressure side 48.
- the mouth 49 is located in the immediate vicinity of the sealing gap 46 between the two rotors, so that this sealing gap is preferably kept free of solid particles.
- Figure 1 shows that the scoops 11, 12, 13 are assigned a plurality of mouths 49.
- the scooping chamber 12 there are, for example, two openings 49, directly opposite one another in the respective side plates 15, 16.
- the desired effect of keeping solid particles in suspension is achieved in a particularly favorable manner.
- the orifices 49 are connected to a purge gas source 51, specifically via bores 52, 53 in the side plates 15, 16 and via the line system 54 provided outside the pump with the valve 55.
- Nozzles are located in the bores 52, 53, which are only shown schematically 56, 57, which serve on the one hand to reduce the amount of gas supplied and on the other hand to increase the speed of the gas.
- a suitable purge gas is nitrogen, for example.
