- Holweck molecular pumping stages have been successful for years in the field of vacuum technology. As a rule, they are used in turbomolecular pump stages as the fore-vacuum side pumping stage, so that the turbomolecular pump can eject against higher prevacuum pressures. After Holweck rotates a smooth sleeve in a provided with helical grooves stator. Several pods may be present, so the beats DE 196 32 375 A1 to allow cores of different axial length in the gas stream to act in parallel.
- sleeves of carbon fiber reinforced material as this has a low expansion under the action of heat and centrifugal forces.
- the disadvantage is that the sleeve must be carried on the rotor and in this case a material is used in a carrier component, which is subject to a greater extent and thus generates high voltages in the sleeve.
- This disadvantage complicates the design of the rotor and limits the vacuum technical performance, for example by speed and temperature limits.
- Vacuum performance includes, for example, the compression achieved and the pumping speed.
- a fast rotating rotor having a first sleeve and a support structure in which a second sleeve is disposed within the first sleeve and the first and second sleeves form a composite.
- the design with the features of claim 1 ensures that the voltage difference between the support structure and sleeve is reduced. Due to the lower voltage difference, the vacuum technical performance is improved because speed and working temperature can be selected higher.
- the first sleeve can be supported directly by the support structure, while the second sleeve is supported by the first sleeve and thus only indirectly connected to the support structure via the first sleeve.
- the second sleeve connected to the support structure and the first sleeve of the second sleeve be worn.
- both sleeves are directly connected to the support structure.
- the composite formed by the two sleeves is designed in such a way that the forces generated by the second sleeve under the action of centrifugal forces on the first sleeve approximate those forces which are due to the expansion of the support structure, in particular a hub of the support structure, to the first Interact with the sleeve.
- the dependent claims 2 to 15 indicate advantageous developments of the invention, which additionally increase the aforementioned advantage.
- the first sleeve and the second sleeve with respect to the material from which the sleeves are made differ from each other.
- the materials differ in terms of expansion under the action of heat and / or centrifugal forces.
- first sleeve and the second sleeve can be connected to one another over a wide area, in particular over the whole area.
- the composite can be formed by forming the two sleeves an adhesive bond or a shrink joint.
- the shrink-fit connection is in particular produced such that the first sleeve and the second sleeve are brought to different temperatures and then arranged one inside the other, in particular into one another pushed or inserted into each other. Following this, ie when returning to "normal temperature", the previously relatively “cooled” sleeve expands again, while the previously relatively “heated” sleeve contracts. This creates a firm connection between the two sleeves, for which in particular no additional fastening means are needed. It is provided in particular that it is the inner sleeve, in this case the second sleeve, which is "cooled” while the first sleeve, ie the outer sleeve, is brought to an elevated temperature.
- the composite can also be formed by pressing or pressing the two sleeves together so that the two sleeves are welded together, or by screwing the two sleeves together, the latter being achieved in particular by the outer sleeve being on its inside and the inner sleeve is threaded on each of its outer sides and the two sleeves are screwed by screwing the inner sleeve into the outer sleeve.
- a cohesive connection can exist between the two sleeves to form the composite.
- a positive or non-positive connection is made between the two sleeves.

Within this first sleeve 16, a second sleeve 18 is arranged and both sleeves form a composite. This composite is preferably chemically stable, heat and speed resistant. In this way, the first and second sleeves remain connected under the operating conditions. As the rotor rotates, centrifugal forces begin to act on the rotating parts, but especially on the hub and sleeves.
- the expansion of the second sleeve is impeded by the first sleeve, in particular if the first sleeve is formed from a fiber-reinforced material, for example a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic.
- the second sleeve is now designed according to material and geometry such that the forces generated by them under the action of centrifugal forces on the first sleeve those forces come close, which act on the first sleeve by the extension of the hub.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen schnell drehenden Rotor nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a fast-rotating rotor according to the preamble of claim 1.
Molekularpumpstufen nach dem Bauprinzip von Holweck sind seit Jahren auf dem Gebiet der Vakuumtechnik erfolgreich. In der Regel werden sie in Turbomolekularpumpstufen als vorvakuumseitige Pumpstufe eingesetzt, damit die Turbomolekularpumpe gegen höhere Vorvakuumdrücke ausstoßen kann. Nach Holweck rotiert eine glatte Hülse in einem mit schraubenlinienförmigen Nuten versehenen Stator. Mehrere Hülsen können vorhanden sein, so schlägt die
Besonders erfolgreich sind Hülsen aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Material, da dieses eine geringe Ausdehnung unter Einwirkung von Wärme und Fliehkräften besitzt.Particularly successful are sleeves of carbon fiber reinforced material, as this has a low expansion under the action of heat and centrifugal forces.
Der Nachteil liegt jedoch darin, dass die Hülse am Rotor getragen werden muss und hierbei in einem Trägerbauteil ein Material zum Einsatz kommt, das einer größeren Ausdehung unterliegt und so hohe Spannungen in der Hülse erzeugt. Dieser Nachteil erschwert die Gestaltung des Rotors und begrenzt die vakuumtechnische Leistungsfähigkeit, beispielsweise durch Drehzahl- und Temperaturgrenzen. Zur vakuumtechnischen Leistungsfähigkeit gehören beispielsweise die erreichte Kompression und das Saugvermögen.The disadvantage, however, is that the sleeve must be carried on the rotor and in this case a material is used in a carrier component, which is subject to a greater extent and thus generates high voltages in the sleeve. This disadvantage complicates the design of the rotor and limits the vacuum technical performance, for example by speed and temperature limits. Vacuum performance includes, for example, the compression achieved and the pumping speed.
Es wurde in der
Ferner ist in der nachveröffentlichten Druckschrift
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen schnell drehenden Rotor für eine Vakuumpumpe zu schaffen, der eine verbesserte vakuumtechnische Leistungsfähigkeit besitzt.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a high-speed rotor for a vacuum pump having improved vacuum performance.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Rotor mit den Merkmalen des Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a rotor having the features of claim 1.
Durch die Gestaltung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 wird erreicht, dass die Spannungsdifferenz zwischen Tragstruktur und Hülse verringert wird. Aufgrund der geringeren Spannungsdifferenz wird die vakuumtechnische Leistungsfähigkeit verbessert, denn Drehzahl und Arbeitstemperatur können höher gewählt werden.The design with the features of claim 1 ensures that the voltage difference between the support structure and sleeve is reduced. Due to the lower voltage difference, the vacuum technical performance is improved because speed and working temperature can be selected higher.
Dabei kann die erste Hülse unmittelbar von der Tragstruktur getragen werden, während die zweite Hülse von der ersten Hülse getragen und somit nur mittelbar über die erste Hülse mit der Tragstruktur verbunden ist. Alternativ kann die zweite Hülse mit der Tragstruktur verbunden und die erste Hülse von der zweiten Hülse getragen sein. Des Weiteren ist es auch möglich, dass beide Hülsen unmittelbar mit der Tragstruktur verbunden sind. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Verbund, den die beiden Hülsen bilden, derart ausgelegt, dass die durch die zweite Hülse unter Einwirkung von Fliehkräften erzeugten Kräfte auf die erste Hülse jenen Kräften nahekommen, die durch die Ausdehnung der Tragstruktur, insbesondere einer Nabe der Tragstruktur, auf die erste Hülse einwirken.In this case, the first sleeve can be supported directly by the support structure, while the second sleeve is supported by the first sleeve and thus only indirectly connected to the support structure via the first sleeve. Alternatively, the second sleeve connected to the support structure and the first sleeve of the second sleeve be worn. Furthermore, it is also possible that both sleeves are directly connected to the support structure. According to the invention, the composite formed by the two sleeves is designed in such a way that the forces generated by the second sleeve under the action of centrifugal forces on the first sleeve approximate those forces which are due to the expansion of the support structure, in particular a hub of the support structure, to the first Interact with the sleeve.
Die abhängigen Ansprüche 2 bis 15 geben vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung an, die den vorgenannten Vorteil zusätzlich steigern.
Insbesondere kann vorgesehen sein, dass sich die erste Hülse und die zweite Hülse hinsichtlich des Materials, aus dem die Hülsen hergestellt sind, voneinander unterscheiden. Insbesondere unterscheiden sich die Materialien hinsichtlich der Ausdehnung unter Einwirkung von Wärme und/oder von Fliehkräften.The dependent claims 2 to 15 indicate advantageous developments of the invention, which additionally increase the aforementioned advantage.
In particular, it may be provided that the first sleeve and the second sleeve with respect to the material from which the sleeves are made, differ from each other. In particular, the materials differ in terms of expansion under the action of heat and / or centrifugal forces.
In einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel können die erste Hülse und die zweite Hülse flächig, insbesondere vollflächig, miteinander verbunden sein.In a further embodiment, the first sleeve and the second sleeve can be connected to one another over a wide area, in particular over the whole area.
Insbesondere führt die Materialwahl nach den Ansprüchen 4 und 5 insbesondere in Kombination der Merkmale miteinander, zu besonders geringen Spannungsdifferenzen. Die vakuumtechnische Leistungsfähigkeit wird zusätzlich verbessert, wenn gemäß Anspruch 6 rotorseitig eine pumpaktive Struktur in Form einer schraubenlinienartigen Nut vorgesehen wird, beispielsweise wird auf diese Weise das Saugvermögen verbessert.In particular, the choice of material according to
Der Verbund kann dadurch gebildet werden, dass die beiden Hülsen eine Klebeverbindung oder eine Schrumpfverbindung bilden. Die Schrumpfverbindung wird insbesondere derart hergestellt, dass die erste Hülse und die zweite Hülse auf unterschiedliche Temperaturen gebracht und dann ineinander angeordnet, insbesondere ineinander geschoben bzw. ineinander gesteckt, werden. Im Anschluss daran, also bei Rückkehr auf "Normaltemperatur", dehnt sich die zuvor relativ "gekühlte" Hülse wieder aus, während die zuvor relativ "erwärmte" Hülse sich zusammenzieht. Hierdurch entsteht eine feste Verbindung zwischen den beiden Hülsen, für die insbesondere keine Zusatz-Befestigungsmittel benötigt werden. Dabei ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass es die innere Hülse, hier also die zweite Hülse, ist, welche "gekühlt" wird, während die erste Hülse, also die äußere Hülse, auf eine erhöhte Temperatur gebracht wird.The composite can be formed by forming the two sleeves an adhesive bond or a shrink joint. The shrink-fit connection is in particular produced such that the first sleeve and the second sleeve are brought to different temperatures and then arranged one inside the other, in particular into one another pushed or inserted into each other. Following this, ie when returning to "normal temperature", the previously relatively "cooled" sleeve expands again, while the previously relatively "heated" sleeve contracts. This creates a firm connection between the two sleeves, for which in particular no additional fastening means are needed. It is provided in particular that it is the inner sleeve, in this case the second sleeve, which is "cooled" while the first sleeve, ie the outer sleeve, is brought to an elevated temperature.
Alternativ kann der Verbund auch dadurch gebildet werden, dass die beiden Hülsen miteinander verpresst bzw. zusammengepresst werden, dass die beiden Hülsen miteinander verschweißt werden, oder dass die beiden Hülsen miteinander verschraubt werden, wobei letzteres insbesondere dadurch erfolgt, dass die äußere Hülse auf ihrer Innenseite und die innere Hülse auf ihre Außenseite jeweils mit einem Gewinde versehen ist und die beiden Hülsen dadurch verschraubt werden, dass die innere Hülse in die äußere Hülse hinein geschraubt wird.Alternatively, the composite can also be formed by pressing or pressing the two sleeves together so that the two sleeves are welded together, or by screwing the two sleeves together, the latter being achieved in particular by the outer sleeve being on its inside and the inner sleeve is threaded on each of its outer sides and the two sleeves are screwed by screwing the inner sleeve into the outer sleeve.
Allgemein kann zwischen den beiden Hülsen zur Bildung des Verbundes eine stoffschlüssige Verbindung bestehen. Alternativ ist es möglich, dass zwischen den beiden Hülsen eine formschlüssige oder kraftschlüssige Verbindung hergestellt wird.Generally, a cohesive connection can exist between the two sleeves to form the composite. Alternatively, it is possible that a positive or non-positive connection is made between the two sleeves.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass die eine Hülse eine Armierung oder Beschichtung der anderen Hülse bildet, wobei die Armierung bzw. Beschichtung entweder von der ersten Hülse oder von der zweiten Hülse gebildet sein kann.Furthermore, it can be provided that the one sleeve forms a reinforcement or coating of the other sleeve, wherein the reinforcement or coating can be formed either by the first sleeve or by the second sleeve.
Die gesteigerte vakuumtechnische Leistungsfähigkeit führt bei Kombination mit einem turbomolekularen Pumpabschnitt nach Anspruch 9 und ggf. den darauf bezogenen Ansprüchen zu einer Verbesserung der Pumpwirkung der Gesamtpumpe. Für Vakuumpumpen mit zumindest einem zusätzlichen Einlass nach Anspruch 14 werden aufgrund der verbesserten Leistungsfähigkeit neue Anwendungsfelder erschlossen, beispielsweise wenn bisher unerreichbare Druckverhältnisse zwischen den Kammern eines Mehrkammersystems oder bisher unerreichbare Saugvermögen gefordert sind.
An Hand eines Ausführungsbeispiels und seiner Weiterbildungen soll die Erfindung näher erläutert und die Darstellung ihrer Vorteile vertieft werden.The increased vacuum performance results in combination with a turbomolecular pumping section according to claim 9 and optionally the claims related thereto to an improvement in the pumping action of the overall pump. For vacuum pumps with at least one additional inlet according to
With reference to an embodiment and its developments, the invention will be explained in more detail and the representation of its benefits to be deepened.

Es zeigt
Innerhalb der Vakuumpumpe ist ein Rotor 10 vorgesehen, welcher eine Welle 12 umfasst. Diese ist von einem ersten Lager 34 und einem zweiten Lager 36 drehbar unterstützt. Auf der Welle kann ein Antriebsmagnet 32 vorgesehen sein, der mit einer Antriebsspule 30 zusammenwirkt, um den Rotor in schnelle Drehung zu versetzen. Die Drehzahl ist so bemessen, dass durch Zusammenwirken von Rotor und einem Stator 40 ein molekularer Pumpeffekt bewirkt wird. Der Stator weist eine schraubenlinienartige Nut 42 an einer radial inneren Oberfläche auf.Within the vacuum pump, a
An der Welle des Rotors ist eine Tragstruktur befestigt, welche als scheibenartig gestaltete Nabe 14 ausgeführt sein kann. Mit dieser Nabe ist eine erste Hülse 16 mitdrehend verbunden. Innerhalb dieser ersten Hülse 16 ist eine zweite Hülse 18 angeordnet und beide Hülsen bilden einen Verbund. Dieser Verbund ist vorzugsweise chemisch stabil, wärme- und drehzahlfest. Auf diese Weise bleiben erste und zweite Hülse unter den Betriebsbedingungen miteinander verbunden. Sobald sich der Rotor dreht, beginnen Fliehkräfte auf die sich drehenden Teile einzuwirken, insbesondere jedoch auf die Nabe und die Hülsen. Die Ausdehnung der zweiten Hülse wird durch die erste Hülse behindert, inbesondere, wenn die erste Hülse aus einem faserverstärkten Werkstoff, beispielsweise einem kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff, gebildet ist. Die zweite Hülse ist nun nach Material und Geometrie derart gestaltet, dass die durch sie unter Einwirkung von Fliehkräften erzeugten Kräfte auf die erste Hülse jenen Kräften nahe kommen, die durch die Ausdehnung der Nabe auf die erste Hülse einwirken. Ziel ist es insbesondere, bei Gestaltung von Nabe und zweiter Hülse die Spannungen in der ersten Hülse auf ein Maß zu bringen, das mit dessen Materialkonstanten verträglich ist. Dadurch wird eine Überlastung der ersten Hülse vermieden. Vorteilhaft ist, dass durch die zusätzlichen Gestaltungsfreiheitsgrade mit Hilfe der zweiten Hülse die Überlastung der ersten Hülse bei einer wesentlich größeren Menge von Betriebszuständen erreicht werden kann, wobei ein Betriebszustand durch unter anderem Temperatur, Drehzahl und Gaslast bestimmt ist.On the shaft of the rotor, a support structure is attached, which may be designed as a disc-
