Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vacuum pump, in particular a turbomolecular pump, comprising at least one pumping mechanism for pumping gas along a pumping channel extending from a main inlet to an outlet for the gas.
- Vacuum pumps in which an intermediate inlet for the gas opens into the pumping channel are used, for example, in conjunction with a mass spectrometer to pump different pressure chambers to different pressure levels.
- one of the pressure chambers can be pumped out via the main inlet and each further pressure chamber via an intermediate inlet.
- Such vacuum pumps are also referred to as split-flow pumps.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved vacuum pump, wherein the flow of gas counter to the pumping direction is minimized.
- the pumping mechanism is designed such that a first pump-effective section of the pump mechanism, which is provided upstream with respect to a second pump-effective section of the pumping mechanism, has a higher compressibility than the second pump-effective section , and / or in that the pumping mechanism is designed such that the second pump-effective section has a higher pumping speed than the first pump-effective section.
- the invention opens at least one intermediate inlet and / or at least one flood opening in the pumping channel, wherein the first pump-effective portion upstream of the mouth of the intermediate inlet and / or the flood opening and wherein the second pump-effective portion downstream of the mouth of the intermediate inlet and / or the flood opening is located.
- an undesired flow of the gas entering the pumping channel through an intermediate inlet or a flood opening can be reduced in contrast to the pumping direction directed from the main inlet to the outlet, in that the inflowing gas downstream of the intermediate inlet or the flood opening by a pumping mechanism is pumped away with a high pumping speed and / or that the return flow of the gas can be suppressed or at least reduced by a high compressibility of the muzzle upstream pumping effective first section against the pumping direction.
- the volume flow which can be conveyed per unit of time through a cross-sectional area of the pumping channel is regarded as the pumping speed.
- the first pump-effective section is designed such that it conveys a lower volume flow per unit time through the pump channel than the second pump-effective section.
- the compressibility is preferably based on the length, i. it is turned off on the compressibility per length.
- the pumping mechanism is thus preferably designed such that the first pump-effective section has a higher compressive capacity per overall length than the second pump-effective section.
- the compression ratio can be considered, which can be achieved by the respective pump effective first and second section at its respective downstream end.
- the first pump-effective section can thus achieve a higher compression ratio than the second pump-effective section.
- the pump mechanism comprises a Holweck pumping mechanism.

- a Holweck pumping mechanism has one or more Holweck pumping stages connected in series or in parallel and normally downstream of the turbomolecular pumping stages in turbomolecular pumps.
- a Holweck pumping stage typically comprises a cylinder jacket-shaped stator element and a likewise cylinder jacket-shaped rotor element, wherein a Forming surface of the stator and a lateral surface of the rotor element form a pump-active surface of the Holweck pumping stage and face each other to form a narrow gap, which is referred to as Holweck gap.
- a plurality of helically extending webs and arranged between the webs, also helically extending grooves are formed in the lateral surface of the stator, which form the pumping channel for the gas in the Holweck pumping stage.
- the opposite lateral surface of the rotor element is smooth.
- the webs and grooves can also be provided on the lateral surface of the rotor element and the lateral surface of the stator element can be smooth. However, this rarely happens in practice.
- the pumping action of the Holweck pumping stage is based on the fact that the gas molecules to be pumped are driven by the rotating movement of the rotor element within the grooves and thereby conveyed in the axial direction.
- the webs formed between the grooves seal the grooves and prevent or reduce leakage or backflow of the gas molecules against the pumping direction.
- the helically extending webs and grooves form a Holweck thread, wherein a helical shape is also a form that forms only a partial revolution of a helix.
- the stator element may have a Holweck thread on the outer or inner lateral surface.
- the stator element may also have such a pump-active surface on both lateral surfaces.
- Each pump-active surface can form a Holweck pumping stage with a pump-active lateral surface of a rotor element that is rotating relative to the stator element and likewise essentially cylindrical.
- the mouth of the intermediate inlet and / or the mouth of the flood opening is located in the pumping channel within a Holweck pumping stage of a Holweck pumping mechanism.
- a Holweck pump stage can be achieved by appropriate training of the Holweck thread downstream or upstream of the mouth of the intermediate inlet and / or the mouth of the flood opening that before the mouth of a higher compressibility and / or downstream of the mouth a higher pumping speed of the Holweck Pumping stage is effected.

- the downstream Holweck pumping stage may be configured such that its pumping speed is higher than the pumping speed of the Holweck pumping stage upstream of the mouth.
- the first pump active portion may have a first Holweck thread and the second pump active portion may have a second Holweck thread.
- the first Holweck thread is designed such that it achieves a higher compressive capacity than the second Holweck thread.
- the first Holweck thread and the second Holweck thread may also be configured such that the second Holweck thread reaches the higher suction capacity than the first Holweck thread.
- the respective Holweck thread can be formed on a lateral surface of a stator element or of a rotor element of the respective pump-active section cooperating with the stator element and can be formed by webs with grooves lying between them in a helical manner on the lateral surface.
- the higher compressive capacity of the first Holweck thread and / or the higher pumping speed of the second Holweck thread can be achieved in that the two Holweck threads differ in at least one of the following parameters: the number of grooves, the pitch angle of the grooves or of the webs, the size of a Holweck gap between the respective stator element and the associated rotor element, the depth of the grooves, the height of the webs, the width of the grooves and the width of the webs.
- the first pump-effective section with the first Holweck thread and / or the second pump-effective section with the second Holweck thread can be designed such that upstream to the mouth of the intermediate inlet and / or the mouth Flood opening a higher compressibility and / or downstream to the mouth a higher pumping speed is provided.

- the first pumping effective portion or first Holweck pumping stage 124' has a higher compressive capacity than the second pump-effective section or the second Holweck pumping stage 124 ", the pumping speed is greater.
- the higher compressibility or In particular, the higher pumping speed can be achieved by differences in the structure of the first or second Holweck thread 140, 142.
- the first Holweck thread 140 has a tighter and flatter structure than the second Holweck thread 142, which has an open, coarse, and steep structure.
- the structure of the first or second Holweck thread 140, 142 can be realized in that the grooves 132 are narrower than the grooves 132 ', that the slope of the webs 130 and the grooves 132 is smaller from the pitch of the webs 130th or the grooves 132 'that the webs 130 are higher than the webs 130', that the grooves 132 are deeper than the grooves 132 ', and / or that the Holweck gap in the first Holweck thread 140 is smaller than the Holweck gap at the second Holweck thread 142.
- the two nested Holweck pumping stages 124 ', 124 "can in a vacuum pump according to Fig. 1 are used, in particular - with respect to the pumping channel 10 - downstream of the turbomolecular pumping stages.

In contrast to the vacuum pump the Fig. 1 has in the vacuum pump the Fig. 6 However, the radially outer Holweck stator sleeve 80 on its outer side 150 a circumferential flow channel 152 which connects a provided on the pump housing 72 flood channel inlet 154 with two flood openings 156.

- the first pump-effective section has a higher compressibility and a lower pumping speed than the second pump-effective Abschitt on.
- a gas flow from the flood openings 156 in the direction of the upstream turbomolecular pump stages is thereby reduced, in particular at a point in time, while the rotor shaft 12 is still rotating at a high speed. Damage to the blades of the turbomolecular pumping stages by gas flowing in at high speeds can thus be avoided. At lower speeds, however, the incoming gas is harmless to the turbomolecular pumping stages. As the speed decreases, the pumping effect caused by the first and second pumping effective portions decreases, so that as the speed decreases, more and more gas entering through the flow orifices 156 flows to the turbomolecular pumping stages.
- An unillustrated variant of a vacuum pump can also have at least one flood opening 156 and one intermediate inlet 120 in a Holweck gap of a Holweck pumping stage.

- the respective first pump-effective section has a higher compressibility than the respective second pump-effective section, the pumping speed of which is higher.
- variants are also conceivable in which only the compressibility of the first pumping effective portion is higher than that of the second pumping effective portion, or in which only the pumping speed of the second pumping effective portion is greater than that of the first pumping effective portion.
