Definitions
- the invention relates to a friction vacuum pump with a housing, a rotor and a rotor bearing, which is supported in the housing via a sleeve-shaped carrier.
- Frictional vacuum pumps include Gaede pumps (rotating cylinder in a housing with a pump gap and a blocking gap between the inlet and outlet), Holweck pumps (rotating cylinder in a housing with helical, stator or rotor-side grooves), Siegbahn pumps (rotating and standing ring disks with spiral-shaped grooves) and turbomolecular pumps which are equipped with rotor and guide vanes. It is known to equip friction pumps with differently configured pump sections.
- the pump properties of a friction vacuum pump depend largely on the distance between the pump-active surfaces moving relative to one another. The smaller the gap, the better is the compression of the respective friction pump. However, the gap cannot be made arbitrarily small, since slight vibrations of the rotor must be permitted. This applies in particular to the phase of driving through resonance frequencies when the rotor is ramped up to its operating speed.
- the present invention has for its object to design the support of the rotor bearing in the housing in a friction vacuum pump of the type mentioned, that optimally small distances between the pump-active surfaces can be selected despite vibrations of the rotating system.
- this object is achieved in that the sleeve-shaped carrier, on which the rotor bearing is supported, is itself supported in the housing by several, preferably three, essentially axially extending rods.
- the vibrations which the rotor can still execute are positively guided, specifically in the radial direction.
- Axially directed components of movement of the rotor are practically zero even with relatively short rods.
- Radially extending gaps between pump-active surfaces can therefore be made optimally small. The radial vibrations of the rotor only have to be taken into account with axially directed gaps.
- damping advantageously consists of an O-ring, which is located between the sleeve-shaped carrier and a housing part.
- the maximum vibration amplitude of the rotor is thereby determined.
- the axially directed gaps must be selected in such a way that they allow these slight, maximum possible vibrations.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a friction vacuum pump designed as a turbomolecular vacuum pump with a rotor suspension according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through the embodiment of Figure 1 and FIGS. 3 and 4 further exemplary embodiments for friction vacuum pumps with the rotor suspension according to the invention.
- the various friction vacuum pumps are generally designated 1, their housing 2, and the upper, cylindrical housing section 3.
- the cylindrical housing section 3 centers the stator 4, which comprises a plurality of stator rings 5, 6 and 7.
- the rotor 8 is mounted in the bearings 9.
- the bearings 9 are designed as roller bearings. Magnetic bearings or plain bearings can also be used at these points.
- the drive motor is designated 11. During the operation of the pump, a recipient to be evacuated is connected to the inlet flange 12. As a result of the rotation of the rotor 8, the gases are conveyed to the outlet 13 to which a backing pump is connected.
- the rotor support according to the invention comprises the sleeve-shaped carrier 21, the upper end of which is equipped with a collar 22.
- the lower end of the carrier 21 protrudes into a recess 23 of a housing component 24, which has only a slightly larger diameter than the outer diameter of the carrier 21.
- An O-ring 25 between the carrier 21 and the inside of the recess 23 secures on the one hand the central position of the carrier 21 and also serves as a damping element.
- the rods 26 - preferably three - are suitably made of metal and have a stiffness adapted to the machine dynamics over the length and the rod diameter. With lengths> 30 mm, axially directed vibration components of the rotor 8 practically do not occur in view of the small radial deflections ( ⁇ 0.2 mm).
- two pump sections are provided. On the high vacuum side, turbomolecular pump stages 14, 15 are present. This is followed by a Siegbahn pump section.
- the individual Siegbahn pump stages consist of rotor ring disks 16 and stator ring disks 17.
- the stator ring disks 17 are carried by the stator rings 6. At the end, they are equipped with spiral grooves 19.
- the spiral design is selected so that a continuous gas flow from the inlet 12 to the outlet 13 is ensured, that is to say that in the illustrated embodiment the pump-active surfaces of the Siegbahn stages located above a stator washer 17, the gases from the outside inwards and those below one Stator ring 17 located Pump-active surfaces convey the gases from the inside out.
- the axial gaps between the stator and rotor ring disks 16, 17 can - since the rotor 8 practically cannot execute axially directed vibrations - be kept optimally small.
- the pump properties of the Siegbahn pump section, in particular their compression, are also optimal as a result.
- a Holweck pump section follows the turbomolecular pump section 14, 15. This comprises the cylindrical stator ring 7, the inside of which is assigned to a cylindrical rotor section 31 with a helical projection 32.
- This comprises the cylindrical stator ring 7, the inside of which is assigned to a cylindrical rotor section 31 with a helical projection 32.
- the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4 also differs from the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 3 in that, instead of a shaft 16, a pin 33 fixed to the housing is provided, on which the rotor 8 is supported via the position 9 and the sleeve-shaped carrier 21.
- the rods 26 extend between a collar 34 at the upper end of the pin 33 and an inward edge 35 at the lower end of the sleeve-shaped carrier 21.
- the damping element 25 is located between the sleeve-shaped carrier 21 and the collar 34 of the pin 33.
- the drive motor 11 it is also necessary for the drive motor 11 to be designed as an external rotor.
