Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vakuumpumpe.The invention relates to a vacuum pump.
In der US 5 921 755 ist eine Vakuumpumpe beschrieben mit einem durch eine Kolbenzylinderwand begrenzten Hubraum, mit einem im Hubraum oszillierenden Kolben mit Kolbenboden, mit Gasausstoßventil am oberen Ende des Hubraumes und mit Gaseinlassöffnungen, welche radial im unteren Bereich des Hubraumes angeordnet sind.US Pat. No. 5,921,755 describes a vacuum pump with a displacement limited by a piston cylinder wall, with a piston oscillating in displacement with piston crown, with a gas discharge valve at the upper end of the displacement and with gas inlet openings which are arranged radially in the lower region of the displacement.
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein- oder mehrstufige Bauweisen. Die Kolben führen eine oszillierende Bewegung zwischen ihre beiden Umkehrpunkten aus. Bei der Aufwärtsbewegung eines Kolbens wird das Gas verdichtet und ausgestoßen. Bei der Abwärtsbewegung entsteht ein Unterdruck im Hubraum. So können Gase über geeignete Ventile in den Hubraum einströmen.The present invention relates to one or more stages of construction. The pistons perform an oscillating movement between their two reversal points. During the upward movement of a piston, the gas is compressed and expelled. During the downward movement creates a vacuum in the displacement. So gases can flow through suitable valves in the displacement.
Die zu leistende Arbeit bei der Abwärtsbewegung des Kolbens resultiert aus der Druckdifferenz zwischen dem Druck im Getrieberaum und dem Unterdruck im Hubraum sowie aus der Oberfläche des Kolbens und der Länge des Hubes. Durch diesen Effekt wird die Leistungsaufnahme des Pumpenantriebes erhöht und es kommt zur Temperaturerhöhung von Pumpenbauteilen, was sich störend auf einen reibungslosen und sicheren Betrieb auswirkt. Die Wärme abzuführen, ist mit zusätzlichem unerwünschten Aufwand verbunden.The work to be done in the downward movement of the piston results from the pressure difference between the pressure in the transmission chamber and the negative pressure in the displacement and from the surface of the piston and the length of the stroke. This effect increases the power consumption of the pump drive and increases the temperature of pump components, which interferes with smooth and safe operation. Dissipating the heat is associated with additional undesirable expense.
Die Offenlegungsschrift US 2002/0023449 offenbart eine Kolbenmaschine zur Förderung von Gasen. Es wird vorgeschlagen, das einzige, im Kolbenboden angeordnete Gaseinlassventil mit Magneten zu versehen, die das Schließen dieses Ventils aufgrund von Magnetkräften bewirken.The publication US 2002/0023449 discloses a piston machine for conveying gases. It is proposed to provide the only, arranged in the piston crown gas inlet valve with magnets that cause the closing of this valve due to magnetic forces.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Konstruktion vorzustellen, durch welche zusätzlicher unnötiger Energieverbrauch und unerwünschte Erwärmung der Pumpenbauteile vermieden werden. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit ist darauf zu lenken, dass im Bereich der pumpaktiven Bauteile (z. B. Kolben und Ventile) keine Toträume entstehen. Diese schließen während des Pumpvorganges Gase ein und beeinträchtigen somit erheblich die Pumpeigenschaften.The invention is based on the object to present a construction by which additional unnecessary energy consumption and unwanted heating of the pump components are avoided. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that dead spaces do not arise in the area of pump-active components (eg pistons and valves). These include gases during the pumping process and thus significantly affect the pumping properties.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des 1. Schutzanspruches gelöst. Die Ansprüche 2 bis 5 stellen weitere Ausgestaltungsformen der Erfindung dar.The problem is solved by the characterizing features of the first protection claim. The
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung wird die zu leistende Arbeit bei der Abwärtsbewegung des Kolbens reduziert. Dabei wird die Druckdifferenz zwischen dem Druck im Getrieberaum und dem Unterdruck im Hubraum durch das über den Kolbenboden in den Hubraum strömende Gas abgebaut. Dieser Effekt wird durch den Einbau eines Ventils in den Kolbenboden erreicht. Öffnungen im Kolbenboden stellen eine direkte Verbindung zwischen Getrieberaum und Hubraum her. Durch eine solche Konstruktion werden Toträume vermieden und somit ein effektives Pumpverhalten gewährleistet.The inventive arrangement, the work to be done in the downward movement of the piston is reduced. In this case, the pressure difference between the pressure in the gear chamber and the negative pressure in the displacement is reduced by the flowing over the piston head into the displacement gas. This effect is achieved by installing a valve in the piston crown. Openings in the piston crown provide a direct connection between the gear chamber and displacement. By such a construction dead spaces are avoided and thus ensures an effective pumping behavior.

In einem zylindrischen Hubraum 1, der durch die Kolbenzylinderwand 2 begrenzt ist, führt der Kolben 3 eine oszillierende Bewegung aus, wodurch die Förderung von Gas bewirkt wird. Das zu pumpende Gas tritt durch radiale Einlassöffnungen 5 in der Kolbenzylinderwand 2 im Bereich des unteren Druckpunktes des Kolbens in den Hubraum 1 ein und wird über ein Ventil 7 am oberen Ende des Hubraumes ausgestoßen. Die Bewegung des Kolbens wird über ein Pleuel 8 und eine Kolbenstange 10, die mit einer Antriebsvorrichtung verbunden ist, erzeugt. Die axiale Begrenzung des Kolbens 3 wird durch den Kolbenboden 12 gebildet. Der Kolbenboden ist erfindungsgemäß gleichzeitig als Ventil ausgebildet. Dazu ist er mit Öffnungen 14 versehen. Diese Öffnungen werden durch eine Membran abgedeckt, welche je nach Ausführungsform als Kunststoffmembran 16, durchsetzt mit ferromagnetischen Partikeln, oder als magnetische Kunststoffmembran 18 ausgebildet sein kann.In a
Zur Funktion des Ventils gehört eine kraftschlüssige Vorrichtung, welche die Membran in geschlossenem Zustand zur Abdichtung der Öffnungen 14 auf diese drückt. Im ersten Fall wird die kraftschlüssige Vorrichtung durch einen in einer Nut 20 eingelassenen Magnetring 21 oder Magnetsegmente 22 zusammen mit der Kunststoff membran 16 gebildet. Im zweiten Fall bilden eine Metallplatte 24 und eine magnetische Kunststoffmembran 18 zusammen die kraftschlüssige Vorrichtung.The function of the valve includes a non-positive device which presses the membrane in the closed state to seal the
Beim Aufwärtshub werden die Öffnungen 14 durch die Membran 16 bzw. 18 abgedichtet, so dass das vorher durch die Einlassöffnungen 5 in den Hubraum 1 eingeströmte Gas verdichtet und über das Ventil 7 ausgestoßen werden kann. Beim Abwärtshub wird die Membran 16 bzw. 18 auf Grund der Druckdifferenz zwischen dem Unterdruck im Hubraum 1 und dem Druck im Getrieberaum 26 angehoben, und ein Druckausgleich findet statt. Die durch die kraftschlüssige Vorrichtung erzeugten Magnetkräfte sorgen ab einer definierten Druckdifferenz für ein sicheres Haften der Membran und damit für ein gasdichtes Verschließen der Bohrungen.During the upstroke, the
