Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Turbomolekularpumpe nach dem Oberbegriff des ersten 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. Die Rotor- und Statorscheiben weisen im allgemeinen jeweils einen inneren Tragring auf, der auf der Außenseite mit Schaufeln bestückt ist. Die Schaufeln der Rotorscheiben, welche mit hoher Geschwindigkeit umlaufen, ergeben im Zusammenwirken mit den Statorschaufeln den Pumpeffekt. Durch Distanzringe, welche am äußeren Umfang zwischen den Rotorscheiben liegen, werden diese so auf Abstand gehalten, dass die Rotorscheiben zwischen ihnen berührungsfrei rotieren können. Statorscheiben und Distanzringe bilden so gemeinsam den Stator, der durch die Innenwand des Pumpengehäuses zentriert wird und z. B. mit Federn zusätzlich axial so zusammengedrückt wird, dass Statorscheiben und Distanzringe einen festen Verbund bilden.The active pump elements of a turbomolecular pump consist of with blades provided rotor and stator disks, which are arranged alternately one behind the other are. The rotor and stator disks generally each have an inner one Support ring, which is equipped with blades on the outside. The shovels of the Rotor disks that rotate at high speed result in interaction with the stator blades the pump effect. By spacer rings, which on outer circumference between the rotor disks, they are spaced maintained that the rotor disks can rotate between them without contact. Stator disks and spacer rings together form the stator through the inner wall the pump housing is centered and z. B. with springs additionally axially is compressed so that stator washers and spacers form a firm bond form.
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 steigender Anzahl von Bauteilen einen extrem hohen Aufwand. Die radiale Zentrierung und die axiale Fixierung der Statorscheiben bedeuten zusätzliche Justierarbeiten.However, this conventional type of construction of turbomolecular pumps is common a number of disadvantages, largely due to the high number of the components is due. As a result, there are high manufacturing costs and long Assembly times, which in turn affect the repair and maintenance work adversely affect. The exact observance of tolerances, which for a safe Operation of a turbomolecular pump are necessary with increasing numbers of components is extremely expensive. The radial centering and the Axial fixation of the stator disks means additional adjustment work.
In der DE-OS 22 18 615 wird eine Turbomolekularpumpe vorgestellt, welche aus einem in einem Gehäuse angeordneten Stator und einem damit zusammen wirkenden Rotor besteht, wobei der Stator aus zwei zylindrischen Schalen zusammengesetzt ist. Der Nachteil dabei ist, dass der Stator in einem separaten Gehäuse montiert werden muss und radiale Zentrierung sowie axiale Fixierung vorgenommen werden müssen. Dies bedeutet hohe Fertigungskosten und Montagezeiten sowie aufwendige Wartungsarbeiten. Unvermeidliche Spalte zwischen Stator und Gehäuse führen zu störenden Rückströmungen. Weiterhin wird die Abfuhr der beim Pumpenbetrieb im Inneren entstehenden Wärme durch unzureichende Wärmeleitung nach außen behindert.In DE-OS 22 18 615 a turbomolecular pump is presented, which consists of a arranged in a housing and a stator cooperating therewith Rotor consists, the stator composed of two cylindrical shells is. The disadvantage is that the stator is installed in a separate housing radial centering and axial fixation must be carried out have to. This means high manufacturing costs and assembly times as well as time-consuming Maintenance work. Inevitable gaps between the stator and housing lead to disturbing backflows. Furthermore, the removal of the during pump operation in The heat generated inside is hampered by insufficient heat conduction to the outside.
Die EP 07 51 297 A1 zeigt eine Turbomolekularpumpe, deren Stator aus zwei Teilen besteht. Diese Pumpe ist ohne Gehäuse konzipiert. Sie ist dafür vorgesehen, direkt in eine Rezipienten einzutauchen. Sollte sie mit einem Gehäuse versehen werden, treten die oben beschriebenen Probleme auf.EP 07 51 297 A1 shows a turbomolecular pump, the stator of which consists of two parts consists. This pump is designed without a housing. It is intended to be direct to immerse into a recipient. Should it be provided with a housing, you experience the problems described above.
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. Eine Verbesserung der Wärmeleitung wird angestrebt, was zur Sicherheit des Pumpenbetriebs beiträgt. Weiterhin sollen Rückströmungen innerhalb der Pumpe reduziert werden.The object of the invention is to present a turbomolecular pump, where the number of components is clear compared to conventional designs is reduced. This should reduce manufacturing costs and assembly times as well the maintenance work is simplified. An improvement in heat conduction will strives for what contributes to the safety of pump operation. Backflows are also intended be reduced within the pump.

Die Ansprüche 2 - 8 stellen weitere Ausgestaltungsformen der Erfindung dar.The task is characterized by the characterizing features of the first claim solved. Claims 2-8 represent further embodiments of the invention.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung wird die Anzahl der Bauteile einer Turbomolekularpumpe erheblich verringert. Distanzringe, welche in herkömmlicher Bauweise am äußeren Umfang zwischen den Statorscheiben liegen, entfallen ganz. Dadurch kann die Fertigung vereinfacht und eine leichtere, zeitsparende Montage ermöglicht werden. Dies führt zur Vereinfachung und Reduzierung der Wartungsarbeiten. Die Einhaltung der notwendigen Toleranzen wird durch die reduzierte Anzahl von Bauteilen wesentlich erleichtert. Die radiale Zentrierung und die axiale Fixierung werden durch die Erfindung an sich vorgegeben und bedürfen keiner weiteren Justierarbeit. Innere Undichtigkeiten, welche durch Spalte zwischen den zahlreichen Statorbauteilen verursacht werden, entfallen, so dass störende Rückströmungen in diesem Bereich weitgehend vermieden werden. Der Transport der beim Betrieb der Pumpe entstehenden Wärme nach außen kann durch die kompakte Bauweise und durch die Vermeidung wärmeleitungshemmender Übergänge zwischen den Teilen herkömmlicher Bauweise erheblich verbessert werden. Darüber hinaus kann durch Anbringen von Kühl- oder Heizelementen im Bereich der Statorbauteile eine sehr wirksame Temperaturregelung des gesamten Pumpenaufbaues, besonders jedoch der pumpaktiven Teile, in Abhängigkeit von den Betriebsbedingungen der Pumpe erfolgen.The arrangement according to the invention increases the number of components of a turbomolecular pump significantly reduced. Spacer rings, which have a conventional design lying on the outer circumference between the stator washers are completely eliminated.
