Definitions
- the invention relates to a vacuum pumping stage according to the preamble of the first claim.
- Vacuum pumps or vacuum pump assemblies composed of vacuum pumps are used to generate such vacuum conditions.
- vacuum pump stages are used according to different principles of action, which are adapted to different pressure ranges to compress gas from the desired final vacuum to the atmosphere.
- side channel pumping stages are used to compress the atmosphere.
- These blades run around in a channel and promote a vortex-like gas flow between inlet and outlet.
- the gas stream follows the blades during circulation and is removed at a so-called scraper and fed to the outlet.
- the disadvantage is that designed according to this principle pumping stages operate only in the viscous flow region and lose the transition to the molecular flow very quickly compression and pumping, since no vortex-like gas flow can be generated more.
- Gaedepump stages are used inter alia in the molecular range adjacent to the viscous flow region at lower absolute pressures. Their drawback is that compression and absorbency are good only under molecular conditions and become poor very quickly in the viscous region.
- WO 2005/033520 A1 a vacuum pumping stage having an inlet, an outlet, a rotor and a scraper disposed between inlet and outlet, wherein the rotor with a rotor portion dips into a channel and pumping action is achieved by cooperation of rotor portion and channel.
- the rotor section also has design elements with pump action in the molecular flow region and design elements with pump action in the higher pressure region according to the side channel principle.
- the object of the invention was therefore to provide a vacuum pumping stage, which provides compression and pumping both in the viscous and in the molecular flow area.
- the vacuum pumping stage having the features of the first claim provides compression and suction in both the viscous and molecular flow regime. It can therefore be used advantageously in both flow regions and in the transition region between them.
- the arrangement of the design elements of the rotor section in the plane of a disc of the rotor according to claim 5 is advantageous in addition to manufacturing advantages rotor-dynamically, since there is a favorable mass distribution. In addition, symmetrical forces occur due to the gas flow.
- the vacuum pump according to claims 6 and 7 is characterized by an advantageous power consumption, which is lower compared to vacuum pumping stages with Gaede- or side channel stages due to the compression curve and the pumping speed characteristic.
- the vacuum pumping stage 100 after FIG. 1 has a housing 102.
- an inlet 104 is provided, is sucked through the gas in the vacuum pumping stage.
- an outlet 106 the pumped within the vacuum pumping stage gas is ejected.
- Inlet and outlet are interconnected by a channel 108.
- a rotatably arranged in the housing rotor 112 dives with a rotor portion, wherein channel and rotor portion cooperate to generate the pumping action.
- the rotor section comprises that part of the rotor which, viewed in the radial direction from the axis of rotation of the rotor, projects beyond the inner boundary 118 of the channel into the channel.
- the smooth section is formed by a zone of the rotor that projects beyond the outer blade radius 120 over the blade root radius 120 and extends along the circumference over an angular range 124.
- the blade root radius is substantially close to the radius of the inner boundary of the channel.
- the outer radius is chosen so that on the one hand only a small gap to a scraper remains, on the other hand, only a portion of the channel depth 126 is utilized.
- the scraper separates the gas flow entrained at the rotor section and prevents a direct flow between inlet and outlet.
- the smooth section creates together with the channel in the molecular flow area compression and pumping speed and acts on the Gaedezin.
- the vanes 114 act in the viscous flow area as side channel pumping structures which cooperate with the channel.
- smooth sections are distributed over the circumference of the rotor, resulting in a mass balance. This is achieved for example by two opposite smooth sections. Furthermore, this design can be advantageously further developed by blades and smooth sections are dimensioned so that in each case opposite masses correspond in value.
- FIG. 2 Channel and rotor section are shown in a development
- Fig. 3 shows the section along the line I-I '.
- the channel 208 is provided with a channel depth 226. Beyond the inner boundary 218 of the channel, the rotor section projects into the channel. In it are provided as design elements blades 214 which rotate by rotation of the rotor in the channel. The blades have a thickness 228 in the direction of movement. At least one of the blades has a thickness greater than about one fifth of the distance 230 to the succeeding blade. It is achieved by this thickness that the blade surfaces 250, 252 and 254 facing the channel walls 240, 242 and 244 act in the molecular flow region like gas pumping structures. In the viscous flow region, the rotor section acts as a side channel pumping stage due to the blades.
- At least one blade 214 has a thickness that is equal to or greater than about the distance 230 to the subsequent blade.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 Another embodiment is in the FIGS. 4 and 5 shown.
- Fig. 4 Channel and rotor section are shown in a development,
- Fig. 5 shows the section along the line II-II '.
- the channel 308 is provided here, which is bounded by the inner boundary 318 in the direction of the axis of rotation.
- blades 314 are provided as design elements which lead to a side channel pumping action in the viscous flow area.
- the rotor section also has a base land 340 which projects beyond the inner boundary into the channel.
- FIG. 5 It is shown that the base web protrudes with the web height 332 over the inner boundary. As a result, runs in the channel, the side surface 342 of the base bar. This works together with the channel wall in the molecular flow area as Gaedepumplay.
- the base web is provided only along part of the circumference of the rotor.
- a base web with the thicker blades and / or a smooth section can be used together to achieve design elements in the rotor section, by means of which the pumping action in the molecular flow region is effected according to Gaede and in the higher pressure range according to the side channel principle.
- Curve 70 shows the course for a pure Gaedepumpcut. There is a strong increase in the molecular flow area observed, while at higher pressures, especially above 1 hPa, no significant compression occurs.
- Curve 72 shows the course of a pure side channel pumping stage. Here the compression reaches its maximum towards higher pressures.
- Curve 74 shows the compression curve for the smooth-section embodiment FIG. 1
- Curve 76 traces the course for the embodiment with thick blades FIGS. 2 and 3 ,
- a vacuum pump 600 is shown in the basic structure, in which the advantages of the vacuum pumping stage described above are particularly good advantage.
- a shaft 640 is provided, which is rotatably supported by bearings 650 and 652.
- bearings 650 and 652. may be grease or oil lubricated bearings, gas, sliding or magnetic bearings. These types of bearings can be used mixed, with lubricants such as oil or the like are used in the area of Vorvakuums, which is found on the side of the bearing 652.
- the inlet 604 is in gas flow communication with a suction port 612 so that the multi-section stage 610 sucks gas through both this suction port and the high vacuum pump stage outlet 622.
- the compressed gas in it is expelled through the outlet 606 and fed to a fore-vacuum stage 630.
- This can advantageously be designed as a side channel pumping stage and in turn comprise a plurality of pumping stages.
- a pump outlet 682 the gas is expelled from the vacuum pump, for example against the atmosphere or in the supply line to a backing pump.
- the pumping stages 610, 620 and 630 are commonly driven by the drive means 660.
- the multigrade stage advantageously operates in a pressure and flow regime in which it has better compression and absorbency properties per power consumed than pure Gaede or side channel pumping stages.
