Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Turbomolekularpumpe nach dem Oberbegriff des 1. Patentanspruches.The invention relates to a turbomolecular pump according to the preamble of the first claim.
Die aktiven Pumpelemente einer Turbomolekularpumpe bestehen aus mit Schaufeln versehenen Rotor- und Statorscheiben, die abwechselnd hintereinander angeordnet sind, wie zum Beispiel das Dokument
Diese herkömmliche Art einer Konstruktion von Turbomolekularpumpen ist jedoch mit einer Reihe von Nachteilen behaftet, welche zum großen Teil auf die hohe Anzahl der Bauteile zurückzuführen ist. Als Folge entstehen hohe Fertigungskosten und lange Montagezeiten, die sich wiederum auf die Reparatur- und Wartungsarbeiten nachteilig auswirken. Die exakte Einhaltung von Toleranzen, welche für einen sicheren Betrieb einer Turbomolekularpumpe notwendig sind, erfordert mit steigende Anzahl von Bauteilen einen extrem hohen Aufwand. Die radiale Zentrierung und die axiale Fixierung der Statorscheiben bedeuten zusätzliche Justierarbeiten. Die Tatsache, dass die Statorscheiben zum Zwecke der Montage zweigeteilt sind, zieht weitere Unsicherheiten bei den Toleranzen mit sich und bewirkt vor allem zusätzliche Undichtigkeiten innerhalb der Pumpe. Dadurch werden störende Rückströmungen ermöglicht, die die Wirksamkeit der Pumpe verringern.However, this conventional type of turbomolecular pump design suffers from a number of disadvantages, due in large part to the high number of components. As a result, high production costs and long assembly times, which in turn have a detrimental effect on the repair and maintenance work. The exact compliance with tolerances, which are necessary for the safe operation of a turbomolecular pump, requires an extremely high effort with increasing number of components. The radial centering and the axial fixation of the stator discs mean additional adjustments. The fact that the stator disks are split in two for the purposes of assembly adds further uncertainties to the tolerances and, above all, causes additional leaks within the pump. This allows disturbing backflow, which reduces the effectiveness of the pump.
Die Erfindung hat sich zur Aufgabe gestellt, eine Turbomolekularpumpe vorzustellen, bei der die Anzahl der Bauteile gegenüber herkömmlichen Konstruktionen deutlich reduziert ist. Dadurch sollen Fertigungskosten und Montagezeiten verringert sowie die Wartungsarbeiten vereinfacht werden. Vermeidung von Undichtigkeiten innerhalb der Pumpe, welche durch die Zweiteilung der Statorscheiben bedingt sind, gehört ebenfalls zur Aufgabenstellung. Eine Verbesserung der Wärmeleitung vom Pumpeninneren nach außen wird angestrebt, was zur Sicherheit des Pumpenbetriebs beiträgt.The invention has for its object to present a turbomolecular pump in which the number of components compared to conventional constructions is significantly reduced. This should reduce manufacturing costs and assembly times and simplify maintenance. Avoidance of leaks within the pump, which are caused by the division of the stator, is also part of the task. An improvement in the heat conduction from the pump interior to the outside is sought, which contributes to the safety of the pump operation.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des 1. Patentanspruches gelöst. Die Ansprüche 2 - 4 stellen weitere Ausgestaltungsformen der Erfindung dar.The object is solved by the characterizing features of the first claim. The claims 2-4 represent further embodiments of the invention.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung wird die Anzahl der Bauteile einer Turbomolekularpumpe erheblich verringert. Dadurch kann die Fertigung vereinfacht und eine leichtere zeitsparende Montage ermöglicht werden. Die Einhaltung der notwendigen Toleranzen wird durch die reduzierte Anzahl von Bauteilen wesentlich erleichtert. Die radiale Zentrierung und die axiale Fixierung der Statorscheiben werden durch die Erfindung an sich vorgegeben und bedürfen keiner weiteren Justierarbeit. Der Transport der beim Betrieb der Pumpe entstehenden Wärme nach außen kann durch eine kompakte Bauweise und durch die Vermeidung von wärmeleitungshemmenden Übergängen zwischen den Teilen herkömmlicher Bauweise erheblich verbessert werden. Darüber hinaus kann durch Anbringen von Kühl- oder Heizelementen im Bereich der Statorelemente eine sehr wirksame Temperaturregelung des gesamten Pumpenaufbaues, besonders jedoch der pumpaktiven Teile, in Abhängigkeit von den Betriebsbedingungen der Pumpe erfolgen.The inventive arrangement, the number of components of a turbomolecular pump is significantly reduced. As a result, the production can be simplified and a lighter time-saving installation can be made possible. Compliance with the necessary tolerances is greatly facilitated by the reduced number of components. The radial centering and the axial fixation of the stator disks are predetermined by the invention and require no further adjustment work. The transport of the heat generated during operation of the pump to the outside can be significantly improved by a compact design and by avoiding heat conduction-inhibiting transitions between the parts of conventional construction. In addition, by applying cooling or heating elements in the region of the stator elements, a very effective temperature control of the entire pump structure, but especially the pump-active parts, depending on the operating conditions of the pump.
Wenn man die Rotorscheiben durch Klemmvorrichtungen einzeln nach einander auf der Welle befestigt und nicht, wie seither, als Scheibenpaket zusammen aufschrumpft oder aus dem Vollen erstellt, kann man die Statorbauteile als ganze Teile montieren, und sie müssen nicht vorher in der Mitte geteilt werden. Dadurch werden zusätzliche Undichtigkeiten innerhalb der Pumpe und somit störende Rückströmungen vermieden.If one fixes the rotor disks by clamping devices individually one after the other on the shaft and not, as ever shrinking together as disk package or created from the solid, you can assemble the stator components as a whole parts, and they need not be divided in the middle. As a result, additional leaks within the pump and thus disturbing backflows are avoided.
Anhand der Abbildung soll die Erfindung an einem Beispiel näher erläutert werden.With reference to the figure, the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example.

Die einstückigen Statorelemente 12 umfassen jeweils einen Teil 17 des zylindrischen Gehäuses, die Statorscheiben 14 sowie die Distanzringe 16, welche den Abstand zwischen den Statorscheiben fixieren. Zwischen den einzelnen Statorelementen 14, welche in axialer Richtung aufeinander geschichtet sind, befinden sich Dichtelemente 20. Die Statorelemente werden axial mit Hilfe von Verschraubungen 18 zusammen gehalten und auf dem Unterteil 22 der Pumpe befestigt. Die Rotorscheiben 10 sind mit Hilfe von Klemmvorrichtungen 24 auf der Rotorwelle 4 befestigt.In the turbomolecular pump shown, the intake opening is denoted by 1 and the gas outlet opening by 2. The
