Abstract:
The present invention provides a thread groove pump mechanism which suppresses a backflow of the gas in the thread groove pump mechanism and reduces the pressure difference in the pump radial direction near the outlet of the thread groove pump mechanism to thereby improve the exhaust performance and the compression performance. The present invention also provides a vacuum pump including the thread groove pump mechanism, and a rotor, an outer circumference side stator, and an inner circumference side stator used in the thread groove pump mechanism. A thread groove pump mechanism includes an exhaust-performance improving means in an outer-circumference-side thread groove portion engraved on an opposite surface of an outer circumference side stator opposed to a rotor cylinder portion and an inner-circumference-side thread groove portion engraved on an opposite surface of an inner circumference side stator opposed to the rotor cylinder portion.
Abstract:
A stator disk includes a connection hole for improving exhaust efficiency in a vacuum pump including a Seigbahn type molecular pump portion, and a vacuum pump including the stator disk. The vacuum pump according to an embodiment includes a Seigbahn type molecular pump portion and includes, in a stator disk disposed therein, a connection hole that connects an upper space (an inlet port side region, an upstream side region) with a lower space (an outlet port side region, a downstream side region) in the axial direction of the stator disk.
Abstract:
A vacuum pump and a heat insulating member for the vacuum pump are provided that improve the rigidity and heat insulating effect of a heat insulating portion and facilitate the control of intended temperatures of components within the pump. A turbomolecular pump having at least a cooling function includes a heat insulator that is disposed on a threaded spacer and has a hollow structure including cavities extending in the axial direction.
Abstract:
A vacuum pump and a vacuum pump rotor blade that can effectively limit deposition of reaction products are provided. The vacuum pump includes a rotating shaft held rotationally, a drive mechanism for the rotating shaft, a first rotor blade made of a first material, a second rotor blade made of a second material having higher heat resistance than the first material, and disposed further toward a downstream side than the first rotor blade, and a casing enclosing the rotating shaft, the first rotor blade, and the second rotor blade. The second rotor blade is disposed, via a heat insulating portion, on the first rotor blade.
Abstract:
A vacuum pump is provided that can remove deposits without overhauling and also detect completion of removal of deposits. A cleaning function portion for a cleaning function that performs cleaning of a deposit in a vacuum pump and a deposition sensor for a deposition detection function that detects the deposit are provided. A reading circuit portion and a cleaning completion determination circuit portion for a cleaning completion determination function that determines completion of cleaning are provided. The cleaning completion determination circuit portion outputs a cleaning completion signal indicating completion of the cleaning, based on a detection result of the deposition sensor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a vacuum pump that measures the temperature of a rotating portion accurately and at low cost, a stator column of the vacuum pump, a base, and an exhaust system of the vacuum pump at low cost. The vacuum pump according to the present embodiment, the thread groove-type seal for causing some of the purge gas to flow back toward the temperature sensor unit is provided on the downstream side of the purge gas flow path in which the temperature sensor unit is disposed, thereby increasing the pressure of the purge gas in the vicinity of the temperature sensor unit. Thus, with the small amount of purge gas, the gas pressure around the temperature sensor unit can create an intermediate flow or a viscous flow. Consequently, the total amount of purge gas to be supplied can be saved, resulting in cost reduction.

Abstract:
A reflection mechanism is disposed above a rotor blade. A chamfered surface of the rotor blade is formed to gradually open wide by 0 to 10 degrees toward the downstream side in the rotational direction, from an imaginary line passing through a rotational direction-side tip end point of a horizontal surface and drawn parallel to a rotating shaft. In the reflection mechanism, inclined plates, inclined at a predetermined angle, are arranged radially in the radial direction from a central disc portion. A particle reflected on the chamfered surface of the rotor blade collides with each inclined plate of the reflection mechanism and is then re-reflected and falls in the downstream direction. Since the particle can securely be reflected toward the reflection mechanism, the particle can be prevented from exiting through an inlet port to flow back toward a chamber.
