Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turbomolecular pump according to the preamble of first protection claim.
  • the active pumping elements of a turbomolecular pump consist of Shovels provided rotor and stator, which alternately behind are arranged one another.
  • the rotor and stator discs generally have each having an inner support ring on the outside with the Shovels are stocked.
  • the blades of the rotor discs which with high Rotate speed, resulting in cooperation with the stator blades the pumping effect.
  • spacer rings which at the outer circumference lie between the stator disks, they are kept at a distance, that the rotor disks can rotate without contact between them.
  • stator and spacer rings together form the stator. This one is going through the inner wall of the pump housing centered.
  • turbomolecular pumps has the disadvantage that they Due to the many components, it is quite complicated. It also represents a fairly rigid structure, whereby an adaptation to different Use cases is difficult.
  • DE PS 37 22 164 is such Structure with stator discs, spacers and housing described.
  • This construction has however, the disadvantage that additional elements for fixing and holding together the stator components must be present. This will make the assembly complicated and requires a lot of space.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a turbomolecular pump, at the number of components compared to conventional designs is reduced. At reduced production costs should be a simple installation to be possible. The integration into application systems should be facilitated and thus a variable and application-oriented use can be achieved.
  • the inventive arrangement is compared with the number of components reduced to conventional designs. At reduced production costs is a simple installation possible.
  • the spacer rings are connected to each other, that they are the essential tasks of a housing, namely the Fixation and centering of the stator discs, meet.
  • the remaining function of the housing is taken over by parts of the recipient to be evacuated.
  • an optimal adjustment of pump and recipient is achieved.
  • This also makes it possible that the pump-active components in the immediate Close to the evacuating sphere can be brought.
  • the spacer rings in their entirety have the function of a pump housing take over, this is unnecessary.
  • the housing 1 of the turbomolecular pump which according to the invention largely is formed from spacers 18, with a suction port 2 and a gas outlet opening 4 is provided.
  • the rotor shaft 6 is in bearings 8 and 9 fixed and is driven by the motor 11.
  • On the rotor shaft are the Rotor disks 14 attached.
  • the spacer rings 18 are joined together and connected, that they take over the function of the housing of the pump. They serve as well as for fixing and centering the stator discs.
  • FIG. 2 two spacer rings 18a and 19a are shown, which is a stator 16 fix.
  • the two spacers are at the point 20 by thread firmly connected with each other.
  • FIG. 3 shows two spacers 18 b and 19 b with stator 16, wherein the Spacers by a clip closure, consisting of a web 22 and a groove 23 are firmly connected to each other.
  • Fig. 4 shows two spacers 18c and 19c with stator 16. The spacers are connected by pins 24 fixed to each other.
  • FIG. 5 shows two spacer rings 18d and 19d with the stator disk 16.
  • the spacers are here via a fit at the point 26 by pressing firmly connected with each other.
  • a seal between the individual spacers and between Spacers and other components is not shown here. She can through known arrangements, as described for example in DE-OS 199 51 954 are shown done.
