The isolation member 60 has a flat plate structure, and when the isolation member 60 is moved to the door replacement area A, the door replacement area A can be isolated.

More specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 9, the isolation member 60, the isolation plate is formed to correspond to the side of the protruding wall portion projecting horizontally in the ring shape in the interior of the valve housing (10 61).

That is, in the isolation member 60, the side surface of the isolation member 60 is in close contact with the side surface of the protruding wall portion W to isolate the door replacement area A.

At this time, while maintaining the overall vacuum of the valve housing 10, only the door replacement area (A) can release the vacuum so that the door (20) on the contact surface of the protrusion wall (W) or the isolation plate (61) A second sealing member S2 that is separate from the first sealing member S1 installed in may be installed.

Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 9, after the door 20 is replaced, the first valve V2 that covers the cover C and receives a vacuum pressure control signal by the control unit 70 is applied. When the vacuum release line 72 is closed, while the first valve V1 opens the internal vacuum line 71, the door replacement area A communicates with the housing vacuum area B. As a result, vacuum pressures of the same pressure may be formed, and through this, normal door opening and closing operation in a vacuum environment is possible.

Therefore, through this process, it is possible to replace the door 20 without breaking the vacuum pressure in the housing vacuum region B.

When the vacuum release line 74 is opened, the vacuum pressure of the door replacement area A is released and the cover C to be described later is opened to open the door C through the door replacement opening H. Can be replaced.

At this time, the door replacement area A is in an isolated state, and the housing vacuum area B can maintain a vacuum state.

Subsequently, as illustrated in FIG. 10, after the door 20 is replaced, the fourth valve V4 that covers the cover C and receives a vacuum pressure control signal by the control unit 70 is applied. When the vacuum release line 74 is closed, while the third valve V3 opens the external vacuum line 71, the door replacement area A is vacuumed by the pump PUMP. This can be formed, and through this, normal door opening and closing operation in a vacuum environment is possible.

Therefore, through this process, it is possible to replace the door 20 without breaking the vacuum pressure in the housing vacuum region B.

10 and 11, the magnet coupling type gate valve system 500 of the present invention according to the present invention can identify the identification information of the door so that the operation is allowed only when the identification information is matched. As it may further include an identification device, more specifically, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the identification device may recognize an RFID tag (RT) installed in the door 20. When the identification information is received from the RFID sensor RS and the RFID sensor RS installed in a portion corresponding to the valve housing 10 or the RFID tag RT, normal operation of the equipment is allowed only when matching the identification information. , Otherwise, it may be an RFID identification control unit 80 to stop the operation of the equipment.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, when replacing the sealing plate SP of the door 20, when the RFID sensor RS of the identification device recognizes the RFID tag RT and detects identification information ( S11), if the RFID identification control unit 80 determines whether to match (S12), if it is matched, normal operation is allowed or replacement of the door 20 is allowed (S13), and if not, operation is performed An improper command or a determination that the door 20 cannot be replaced may be made.

Therefore, it is possible to replace only the genuine door 20 that has been officially given identification information, thereby increasing the safety of the equipment, and to prevent malfunction or illegal use in advance.

12 is a flowchart illustrating another example of a door identification process of the magnet coupling type gate valve system 500 of FIG. 10.

10 to 12, more specifically, for example, when the exchange processor is started, the door replacement area A is sealed, and the door replacement area A is switched to a standby state in vacuum, When exchanging the door by opening the cover C, if the RFID sensor RS recognizes the RFID tag RT as genuine, the cover C of the door replacement area A is closed. Thereafter, the door replacement area A is converted into a vacuum to complete a normal exchange processor, or when it is not determined to be genuine, a visual or audible non-genuine error message is output, and the door replacement area A is atmospheric pressure. Abnormal operation can be terminated in a state. However, it is not necessarily limited to this.

Referring to the operation process of the magnet coupling type gate valve system 600 according to some other embodiments of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 15 (a), the first magnetic body axial rotation device ( The drive motor M of 33A) uses the driven gear Gb and the drive gear Ga to form the 1-1 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-1 or the 1-2 axial rotating magnetic body. When the magnetic force is changed by axially rotating the array 32-2 or the 1-3 th axis rotating magnetic material array 32-3, the head part H may be positioned at the lowest point according to polarity.

Subsequently, as shown in (b) of FIG. 15, the drive motor M of the first magnetic material shaft rotating device 33A uses the driven gear Gb and the drive gear Ga to remove the first motor. The magnetic force is rotated by rotating the 1-1 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-1, the 1-2 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-2, or the 1-3 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-3. When changing, the head part H may be located at an intermediate point according to polarity.

Subsequently, as shown in (c) of FIG. 15, the drive motor M of the first magnetic body shaft rotating device 33A uses the driven gear Gb and the drive gear Ga to remove the first motor. The magnetic force is rotated by rotating the 1-1 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-1, the 1-2 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-2, or the 1-3 axial rotating magnetic body array 32-3. When changing, the head part H may be positioned at the highest point according to the polarity.

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 13, the door moving device 30, when the inner magnetic body 31 is away from the outer magnetic body 32, the return that can return the door 20 to the ready position The magnetic body 36 may be further included to smoothly return the internal magnetic body 31 installed on the door 20.

Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 16, the inner magnetic body 31 or the outer magnetic body 32 may be a permanent magnet array MA in which a plurality of M rows are arranged in N rows and N columns to enhance magnetic force.

Therefore, the inner magnetic body 31, which is a permanent magnet, and the outer magnetic body 32, which is also a permanent magnet, can be magnetically coupled with the wall of the valve housing 10 therebetween to transfer the door 20 in a non-contact manner. At the same time, it is possible to easily increase the magnetic force by increasing the number and arrangement of permanent magnets.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, the side surface and the top surface of the valve housing 10 can be utilized, thereby greatly reducing facility cost and installation space, and improving space utilization.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the same principle can be applied to the second magnetic body shaft rotating device 33B as it is. However, the driving motor M may partially rotate only tens of degrees in the capital only to change the polarity without necessarily rotating the external magnetic body 32 to 180 degrees or more.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
