Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vacuum pump stage.
  • the prior art includes vacuum pump stages of threaded pumps, which essentially consist of two parts, namely a stator and a rotor rotating in the stator. Multi-start threads are attached to the outside diameter of the rotor and to the inside diameter of the stator.
  • Side channel pumps that is to say pumps which have at least one vacuum pump stage in the form of a side channel pump stage
  • These can be easily combined with turbomolecular pumps or other molecular pumps, for example.
  • the rotor parts of both pumps can be accommodated on a shaft, so that both form a structural unit.
  • the side channel pump stages usually have an impeller, that is to say a rotor, which has blades running around its edge in a channel.
  • a further embodiment relates to a vacuum pump stage with an inlet, an outlet and a channel, which has two side walls and a channel bottom, wherein a rotor with a rotor section is immersed in the channel and a pumping action is achieved by the interaction of the rotor section and channel, and with a between Inlet and outlet arranged breaker.
  • Vacuum pumps or vacuum pumping stations composed of vacuum pumps are used to generate such vacuum conditions.
  • Vacuum pump stages are used in the vacuum pumps according to different operating principles, which are adapted to different pressure ranges in order to compress gas from the desired final vacuum to the atmosphere.
  • Blades circulate in a channel and promote a vortex-like gas flow between the inlet and outlet.
  • the gas flow follows the blades as it circulates and is used on a wiper or breaker detached and fed to the outlet.
  • Such side channel pump stages are for example in the DE 10 2009 021 642 A1 and the DE 10 2010 019 940 A1 disclosed.
  • State of the art ( DE 33 17 868 A1 ) belongs to a friction pump, in which at least some of the pump-active surfaces have surface areas with different roughness, such that the roughness of the surface areas facing away from the conveying direction is greater than the roughness of the surface areas facing towards the conveying direction.
  • This friction pump which belongs to the prior art, can be further improved with regard to the pumping effect.
  • the state of the art ( DE 39 32 288 A1 ) a turbo vacuum pump with a side channel pump stage.

  • This vacuum pump which belongs to the state of the art, can be further improved with regard to avoiding turbulence of the inflowing gas.
  • the invention relates to a vacuum pump stage in which an interrupter is arranged between the inlet and the outlet.
  • State of the art belongs to a side channel compressor, which has an inlet, an outlet and a rotor, and a channel, the rotor being immersed in the channel with a rotor section and a pumping effect being achieved by the interaction of the rotor section and channel.
  • the rotor usually dips into the channel with rotor blades arranged on the rotor.
  • An interrupter is arranged between the inlet and the outlet. The interrupter encloses the rotor on all sides and, as is known from practice, abruptly in the vicinity of the Outlet where the side channel ends, as well as near the inlet where the side channel begins.
  • the interrupter is designed in such a way that the rotor blades are increasingly enclosed in a uniform manner or are released again in a uniformly decreasing manner.
  • the respective rotor blade is thus gradually and continuously enclosed by the interrupter, or continuously released again.
  • This does not result in an abrupt, but a continuous and even stripping of the compressed gas components from the respective rotor blades.
  • This measure is implemented at the beginning as well as at the end of the breaker, that is, at the inlet and at the outlet.
  • the formation of disturbing sound components in the interrupter area is suppressed and gas congestion at the pressure port is reduced. This leads to an increase in efficiency.
  • This embodiment which belongs to the prior art, has the disadvantage that the efficiency has not yet been fully exhausted.
  • EP 1 541 871 A1 includes a side channel pump stage with rotor elements and stator elements attached to a shaft, which are connected to the fixed parts of the pump. Concentric channels are incorporated in the stator element. The blades of the rotor disc engage in these channels and, during rotation, promote the gas. There are barriers in the channels, which have the effect that the gas is not continuously conveyed in a circle, but rather leaves the channels and is conveyed into the channels adjacent in the axial direction.
  • This side channel pump stage which belongs to the prior art, can be improved in terms of its performance.
  • the state of the art ( EP 0 767 308 A1 ) a side channel compressor with at least one side channel formed in the compressor housing and an interrupter separating the suction and pressure side, the boundary sides of which extend in the radial direction with respect to the side channel have a course deviating from the axial direction of the compressor, in which the boundary sides of the interrupter over their full radial height are provided with an at least approximately heart-shaped incision, and in which the incisions provided on the suction and pressure sides point towards one another with their tips.
  • This side channel compressor which belongs to the prior art, can also be further improved in terms of performance.
  • State of the art also includes a ring compressor, in which an interrupter is provided between an inlet and an outlet opening of the side channel.
  • a pocket-shaped nozzle is provided on the interrupter. The gas in the blade cells, which is transported via the interrupter, enters this and relaxes in the nozzle.
  • This ring compressor which belongs to the prior art, can also be further improved in terms of performance.
  • the state of the art also includes ( DE 103 34 950 A1 ) a side channel blower and a Method of operating a side channel blower.
  • This side channel compressor which belongs to the prior art, has an impeller with blades arranged on the circumference of the impeller.
  • This side channel compressor which belongs to the prior art, can be further improved with regard to the pump performance.
  • the technical problem on which the invention is based is to provide an improved vacuum pump stage for side channel pumps which are used in molecular and viscous pressure ranges in order to achieve an increase in performance of the pump.
  • the vacuum pump stage according to the invention is defined by claim 1.
  • the rotor has a base body and rotor blades arranged on the base body.
  • the rotor is arranged in the side channel pumping stage in such a way that two axial sealing surfaces of the side channel pumping stage are assigned to the base body of the rotor. These axial sealing surfaces expand into the so-called side channel in which the rotor blades rotate.
  • the interrupter interrupts the side channel between the inlet and outlet.
  • the bevel of the interrupter according to the invention on the side facing the inlet advantageously has a depth which is greater than the depth of the axial sealing surface of the pump stage, seen in the axial direction of the pump stage. This means that the bevel is designed to run into the side channel.
  • the bevel has an opening angle ⁇ of the bevel that is formed between the at least one bevel and a central axis, and that one with the opening angle ⁇ corresponding supplementary angle ⁇ corresponds to a blade angle ⁇ of the rotor blades.
  • the compressed gas flows out of the blades into the side channel in all directions.
  • the formation of the vortex flow is not favored, but rather adversely affected.
  • the gas only flows in the direction in which the bevel is arranged, since the channel surrounds the rotor blades on the other sides. In the side channel, the gas flows into this area in the area of the bevel and is sucked in by the rotor blades on the sides and expelled again on the side opposite the bevel.
  • a vortex flow is formed immediately after the rotor blades emerge from the interrupter, which has a very advantageous effect on the compression and the pumping speed.
  • the effect of the vortex flow is optimized by the formation of the complementary angle ⁇ and thus the opening angle ⁇ of the bevel, analogous to the angle of attack of the rotor blades.
  • the gas can even reach a supersonic speed at the outlet of the interrupter.
  • the interrupter shape according to the invention acts like a Laval nozzle.
  • the gas in the blades expands towards the bevel and becomes cooled.
  • the gas pressure at the inlet and in particular the gas pressure in the rotor blades decrease. This favors gas intake on the sides of the rotor blades. Due to the ordered gas flow above the rotor blades due to the shape of the interrupter according to the invention, a rapid formation of an ordered vortex flow is achieved immediately after the interrupter. This in turn leads to an increase in the pumping speed and an increase in the compression of the pump.
  • the interrupter has the bevel only at the inlet.
  • the interrupter at the outlet area has the abrupt end known from the prior art.
  • the interrupter has a length d 1 which corresponds to at least one blade length.
  • interrupter is meant the area that has a reduced cross section compared to the channel.
  • the at least one bevel has a length d 2 which corresponds to at least one or two blade lengths. This also ensures optimal pumping speed and optimal compression.
  • the invention optionally provides that the at least one bevel is linear is trained. This optimally favors the formation of the vortex flow.
  • the channel has a round or angular cross section or an angular cross section with rounded corners.
  • the chamfer towards the inlet is advantageous in order to optimize the pump performance.
  • the channel has at least one side wall and the at least one side wall of the channel is curved. This design of the side channel is particularly advantageous.
  • the bevel is formed in the radial direction of the vacuum pump stage during the transition into the side channel over the entire width of the channel. This also has a positive influence on the formation of the vortex flow.
  • Another advantageous embodiment which is however not part of the invention, provides that the bevel in the radial direction of the vacuum pump stage has only a part of the entire width of the channel during the transition into the side channel.
  • the bevel has a maximum depth that corresponds to the axial depth of the channel. This embodiment allows a good formation of the vortex flow.
  • the bevel has a maximum depth up to an axial sealing surface of the rotor disk in the area without blades. This embodiment also allows a sufficient formation of the vortex flow.
  • Fig. 1 shows a vacuum pump with a housing 1 and three pump units 14, 16, 18.

  • the pump unit 16 following in the direction of the gas flow consists of several sub-units 16a, 16b, 16c. These each have one or more molecular pump stages of the Gaede type, hereinafter referred to as Gaede stages.
  • the Gaede stages are connected in parallel within the subunits.
  • the subunits themselves are connected in series. This means that connecting elements 34a for subunit 16a, or 34b for subunit 16b, connect the input sides and on the other side the output sides of the Gaede stages in such a way that a parallel gas flow in the individual subunits is made possible.
  • the subunits are connected by connecting elements 36a, 36b and 36c such that the output side of one subunit is connected to the input side of the following subunit.

  • the grooves 40 can also be created with a grindstone in a surface 41.
  • the grooves 40 have an irregular structure.
  • the rough surface should have a roughness of 0.1 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m, preferably from 2 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
  • standing air forms in the grooves 40, so that the gas friction on the surface 41 is reduced.
  • the sliding of gas layers is influenced by this effect.
  • boundary layer forces By influencing these so-called boundary layer forces, a sliding of the gases on the surface of the pump-active surfaces is promoted. This increases the speed of the circulation flow and the intensity of the energy exchange between the pump-active surfaces of the rotor and stator. This leads to increased compression, reduced power consumption and increased pumping speed.
  • a thread groove 50 of a thread pump is shown.
  • the thread groove 50 which is arranged, for example, in a stator 51, as well as the adjacent surfaces of the thread groove 50, are coated with a coating 52, which reduces the friction and improves the sliding properties of the surface compared to an uncoated surface, for example a metal surface, for example aluminum or stainless steel. This measure also reduces the gas friction on the channel surface, which gives rise to the advantages mentioned above.
