Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a vacuum pump, in particular a turbomolecular pump, in which a first element is connected to a second element by means of an adhesive, the first and second elements each having a first and second adhesive area intended for the adhesive.
  • the invention also relates to a vacuum pump, in particular a turbomolecular pump, comprising a first element and a second element, which are connected by means of an adhesive, the first and second elements each having a first and second adhesive area provided for the adhesive.
  • An exemplary prior art vacuum pump includes a Holweck stage which has a cylindrical rotor sleeve.
  • the rotor sleeve rotates during operation of the pump in order to convey a gas to be conveyed along a screw path, which is usually formed in a standing cylinder body which encloses the rotor sleeve and/or is enclosed by it.
  • the rotor sleeve is attached to a rotor hub using an adhesive.
  • Turbomolecular pumps in particular are known to rotate at high speeds, which is why there is generally high stress on all the elements involved and their connections.
  • a manufacturing method for a vacuum pump according to claim 1 and in particular in that at least one of the adhesive areas is at least partially, in particular completely, treated by means of plasma before joining.
  • the adhesive area is understood to be a surface that does not necessarily have to be flat and which is intended to be wetted with the adhesive.
  • the plasma treatment activates the adhesive area so that the adhesive can bond better to the element in question. This significantly increases the adhesive strength of the adhesive on the treated adhesive area, so that an overall firm and resilient connection is achieved.
  • a particular advantage of plasma treatment is that it not only activates the adhesive area, but also degreases and cleans it and causes a roughening and enlargement of the surface. All of these effects also improve the bonding of the adhesive to the adhesive area.
  • conventional treatments to improve adhesion can preferably be dispensed with. For example, manual degreasing is no longer necessary, which saves personnel costs.
  • a grinding process can be dispensed with, which also simplifies the process. This applies in particular in the case that the adhesive area to be treated is formed on an inner surface of the, for example, cylindrical element, since grinding treatment is often particularly complex or even impossible here.
  • these effects can also be brought about individually or in combination in a conventional manner during production, for example by providing additional process steps comprising degreasing, cleaning, roughening and/or enlarging the surface of the adhesive area.
  • a washing process in particular a mechanical one, can be provided before the plasma treatment.
  • the plasma treatment also brings about the effects mentioned particularly uniformly and reproducibly in relation to the treated surface. This significantly increases process reliability and significantly reduces production waste. No cleaning products are necessary in the workplace. Eliminating manual cleaning also reduces the risk of injury and chemical exposure for production personnel. Decontamination of the element to be bonded by cleaning tools that may be dirty is also avoided. And even if a conventional pretreatment, such as washing, in particular to remove dust particles, is also provided and contamination should occur, for example due to residual contamination in a washing machine, this is reduced or removed by the plasma treatment.
  • Another advantage of plasma treatment is that its effects, especially the activation of the surface, last for a relatively long time. Intermediate storage of the elements is therefore possible, which makes the manufacturing process additionally flexible.
  • the invention makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of adhesion or adhesion breaks between the element in question and the adhesive. This strengthens the connection overall.
  • the vacuum pump is designed, for example, using previous calculations, for example using the finite element method.
  • Material parameters of the adhesive regarding, among other things, its strength are required. These are usually provided by the adhesive supplier.
  • the strengths calculated from this deviated from those that were determined in tests on vacuum pump parts, in particular because the parameters are specified for standardized test conditions, which cannot easily be met in the production of vacuum pumps. This made development difficult.
  • the manufacturing process according to the invention on the other hand, almost or actually the strengths specified by the supplier are achieved in a particularly reliable but simple manner. This enables a more precise design and thus improved development of the vacuum pump.
  • the plasma treatment is carried out at a pressure below atmospheric pressure. In this way, good activation of the surface can be achieved in particular. Alternatively, treatment at atmospheric or higher pressure is also possible.
  • the plasma is generated from air as a plasma process gas.
  • a plasma process gas This enables a particularly simple manufacturing process, as special plasma process gases do not have to be kept available.
  • another gas or gas mixture can also be used as the plasma process gas.
  • the first and/or second element is treated as a whole with plasma. This means that essentially the entire surface of the element is treated. This happens, for example, in a chamber that is filled with plasma. This means the entire surface is exposed to the plasma. This has the advantage that the element can be easily inserted into the chamber without the need for precise alignment of the element. The manufacturing process is thus further simplified.
  • any reference made herein to the first or second element is for illustrative purposes only. It goes without saying that the embodiments described in each case can also be transferred to the other element. In principle, more than two elements can be glued together.
  • the plasma treatment is carried out for at least 1 minute, in particular at least 3 minutes, and/or at most 10 minutes, in particular at most 7 minutes. About 5 minutes is particularly advantageous.
  • the plasma can be generated, for example, using direct current, alternating current, which is particularly low or high frequency, and/or microwaves.
  • the first and/or the second element are provided or produced with a macroscopically defined surface roughness, in particular in addition to a microscopic roughness achieved by the plasma treatment.
  • the average roughness depth Rz in ⁇ m, at least in the adhesive area can advantageously be, for example, at least 0.8, in particular at least 1.6, in particular at least 3.2, in particular at least 6.3, and / or at most 50, in particular at most 25, in particular at most 20, in particular at most 17.5.
  • the first and second elements are intended for rotation during operation of the vacuum pump. So these are rotor parts.
  • the process is particularly advantageous here because of the high forces during rotation.
  • the vacuum pump has a Holweck stage, wherein the first element comprises a pump-active element of the Holweck stage, namely a Holweck rotor sleeve.
  • the vacuum pump can, for example, have a permanent magnet electric motor, wherein one or the first element can in particular comprise an electromagnetically drivable rotor motor magnet, a permanent magnet, a load-bearing sleeve and/or a return ring.
  • the first element can be a plastic and/or composite material, in particular carbon fiber composite material, aramid fiber composite material, glass fiber composite material, basalt fiber composite material, hybrid fabric composite material with thread or fiber components of several of the aforementioned composite materials and/or a layered combination of the aforementioned fabric types in multi-layer composite. These offer high strength with low weight.
  • the first element comprises an at least essentially cylindrical section and in this section a fiber composite material, the fibers of which at least a significant proportion run at least essentially in the circumferential direction.
  • This can also be referred to as a radial winding of the fibers, since they run in the radial plane.
  • This causes temperature and/or centrifugal force expansion minimized in the radial direction, so that the pump can be designed with narrow gaps and therefore particularly effective, for example with regard to a high compression ratio. Contact between the elements, which could lead to pump failure, is effectively prevented.
  • the second element can advantageously comprise a metal material, for example aluminum, in particular at least one of the alloys EN AW-6082, EN AW-7075, EN AW-7475, EN AW-2618, EN AW-2618A, titanium, in particular the alloy TiAl6V4 , cast steel, in particular at least one of the alloys EN-GJL-150, -200, -250, -300, -350, EN-GJS-400-15, EN-GJS-500-7, EN-GJS-600-3, Steel, in particular at least one of the alloys 1.0711, 1.0715, 1.0721, 1.0736, E235, H320B, and / or stainless steel, in particular at least one of the alloys 1.4301, 1.4305, 1.4401, 1.4429, 1.4435.
  • a metal material for example aluminum, in particular at least one of the alloys EN AW-6082, EN AW-7075, EN AW-7475, EN AW-2618, EN AW-
  • a recess is provided on the first and/or the second element and an area in the recess at least partially forms the adhesive area.
  • This allows the adhesive to be applied particularly precisely and held in the adhesive area.
  • the plasma treatment enables a relatively free design of this recess, since no conventional pretreatments, in particular no grinding or the like, are necessary.
  • the recess can in particular be formed circumferentially, in particular as a groove and/or undercut, and/or as a circumferential set of individual recesses.
  • an at least substantially cylindrical connection region can be defined between the first and second elements. This makes it possible, for example, to achieve good joining accuracy.
  • the cylindrical connection region can, for example, be arranged coaxially to a rotation axis of a rotor of the vacuum pump.
  • connection region can, for example, be arranged axially in a ring shape relative to an axis of rotation of a rotor of the vacuum pump.
  • the alignment of the connection area is not limited to purely radial or axially extended areas coaxial to a rotation axis of a rotor of the vacuum pump, but can also represent a diagonal or freely shaped area, which is advantageously arranged in a ring shape coaxial to a rotation axis of a rotor of the vacuum pump.
  • connection areas with the same or different orientation between two elements are also possible. Furthermore, several connection areas of the same and/or different orientation, in particular radially and axially, can merge into one another and define a common, multi-axial, complex connection area.
  • connection area can comprise one, in particular two, three or many advantageously ring-shaped recesses for adhesive; these can each be designed with a predominantly rectangular or complex cross-section.

  • the load-receiving sleeve 242 can have a vacuum technology function analogous to the Holweck sleeves 163, 165, as long as the gap 219 is designed to be advantageous in terms of vacuum technology, analogous to the Holweck columns 171, 173, 175, and the motor stator 217 and/or adjacent stator structures are designed analogously to the Holweck stators 167, 169.
  • An improvement in the function of the electric motor 125 is possible by a radial arrangement of a ferromagnetic return element 245 in the radial interior of the permanent magnet arrangement or the permanent magnet(s) 241.
  • This return element 245 can be either annular as an independent element that radially encloses the rotor shaft 153 or as a hollow or solid one Rotor shaft 153 can be executed. In both cases, the goal is to advantageously optimize the magnetic circuit of the electric motor by introducing one or more soft magnetic, in particular metallic, elements.
  • connections between the return ring 245, permanent magnets 241, rotor shaft 153 and/or load-bearing sleeve 242 are, for example, form-fitting, as a press or shrink bond and/or advantageously cohesive, in particular with at least one adhesive bond.
  • An adhesive bond can, for example, advantageously connect more than two of the aforementioned elements to one another and produce a reliable overall assembly.
  • at least one, in particular several, adhesive areas can be provided per connection partner, of which at least one, in particular several or all of them are pretreated with plasma.
  • the rotor shaft 153 here has an adhesive area 246, which is formed as a recess which has an additional recesses 247, which also forms the adhesive area 246.
  • the adhesive area 246 is part of an adhesive connection with several other elements, namely the permanent magnet 241, the return element and even a small part of the load-bearing sleeve 242. They have their own adhesive areas 248, 249 and 250, respectively. At least one of the adhesive areas 246, 248, 249 and 250 is pretreated with plasma.
