Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vakuumpumpe mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a vacuum pump with the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Unter Gasballastzufuhr wird der Einlaß von Gasen in den Schöpfraum einer Vakuumpumpe verstanden, und zwar zu einem Zeitpunkt, wenn der Schöpfraum zur Einlaßseite hin abgeschlossen ist. Durch die Gasballastzufuhr können schädliche Kondensationen abgesaugter Dämpfe vermieden werden. Bei einer zweistufigen Vakuumpumpe erfolgt die Gasballastzufuhr üblicherweise in die Vorvakuumstufe. Es ist aber auch bekannt, der Hochvakuumstufe Gasballast zuzuführen.With gas ballast supply, the inlet of gases into the Understand the capacity of a vacuum pump, namely one Time when the scoop is closed to the inlet side is. The gas ballast supply can be harmful Condensation of extracted vapors can be avoided. at A two-stage vacuum pump is used to supply the gas ballast usually in the forevacuum stage. It is also known to supply gas ballast to the high vacuum stage.

Ölgedichtete Vakuumpumpen fördern mit dem Gasvolumenstrom einen Ölvolumenstrom, der bei jeder Umdrehung aus einem Ölvorrat in die Pumpe gelangt. Das geförderte Öl gelangt in den Ölvorrat zurück. Die mit Öldämpfen belasteten Gase werden dem Pumpenauslaß zugeführt. Dem Auslaß derartiger Pumpen ist deshalb in der Regel ein intern oder extern gelegener Ölabscheider bzw. Gasfilter nachgeordnet, in dem der weitaus größte Teil der mitgeförderten Öldämpfe vom Gasvolumenstrom getrennt wird.Oil-sealed vacuum pumps deliver with the gas volume flow an oil volume flow that consists of one at every revolution Oil supply gets into the pump. The extracted oil gets into the oil supply back. The gases contaminated with oil vapors are fed to the pump outlet. The outlet of such Pumping is therefore usually internal or external located oil separator or gas filter, in which by far the largest part of the oil vapors transported from Gas volume flow is separated.

Es ist bekannt, das im Gasfilter abgeschiedene Öl durch den Einlaß der Pumpe zurückzuführen. Das der Saugseite der Pumpe zugeführte Öl verschlechtert den Enddruck; außerdem besteht die Gefahr von unerwünschten Ölrückströmungen in den angeschlossenen Rezipienten, was zu Störungen der im Rezipienten ablaufenden Prozesse führen kann. It is known that the oil separated in the gas filter by the Pump inlet. The suction side of the pump supplied oil worsens the final pressure; also exists the risk of undesirable oil backflows in the connected Recipients, causing interference in the recipient running processes can lead.

Bei einer anderen Lösung wird das im Gasfilter abgeschiedene Öl unmittelbar in den Ölsumpf der Pumpe zurückgeführt. Diese Ölrückführung ist nur möglich, wenn eine Hilfspumpe vorhanden ist, oder - was in der Regel nicht der Fall ist - der Gasfilter so weit oberhalb des Schöpfraumes angeordnet ist, daß das Öl infolge seiner Schwerkraft in den Ölsumpf zurückströmt.In another solution, this is separated out in the gas filter Oil is returned directly to the pump sump. This Oil return is only possible if an auxiliary pump is available is, or - which is usually not the case - the Gas filter is arranged so far above the pumping chamber, that the oil flows back into the oil sump due to its gravity.

Aus der DE-B-10 98 150 ist eine Sperrschiebervakuumpumpe bekannt, deren Auslaß ein Ölabscheider nachgeordnet ist. Der Ölabscheider ist als Zyklon ausgebildet. Außerdem weist die vorbekannte Vakuumpumpe eine Gasballast-Einrichtung auf, die einen Gaskanal mit einem Ventil umfaßt. In diesem Gaskanal mündet ein Seitenkanal, der zum Ölabscheider führt. Der Seitenkanal hat die Wirkung, daß ein Teil des im Ölabscheideraum befindlichen Ölnebels als Gasballast in den Arbeitsraum der Pumpe hineingesaugt wird. Werden mit dieser Pumpe aggressive Gase gefördert, dann besteht der Nachteil, daß diese erneut in den Förderraum der Pumpe gelangen. Im übrigen dient der Seitenkanal nicht der Rückführung des im Ölabscheideraum abgeschiedenen Öls.From DE-B-10 98 150 is a gate valve vacuum pump known, the outlet of which is followed by an oil separator. The Oil separator is designed as a cyclone. In addition, the previously known vacuum pump on a gas ballast device that comprises a gas channel with a valve. In this gas channel opens a side channel that leads to the oil separator. The Side channel has the effect that part of the oil separator located oil mist as gas ballast in the work area the pump is sucked in. Are using this pump promoted aggressive gases, there is the disadvantage that these get back into the pump delivery chamber. in the the other side channel is not used to return the im Oil separation room of separated oil.

Zum Stand der Technik gehört auch noch der Inhalt der GB-A-863 162. Diese offenbart einen Gaskompressor. Ein Ölabscheider, aus dem Öl zurückzuführen ist, ist nicht vorhanden.The state of the art also includes the content of GB-A-863 162. This discloses a gas compressor. On Oil separator from which oil is derived is not available.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vakuumpumpe mit den eingangs erwähnten Merkmalen zu schaffen, bei der die Gefahr der Rückführung von aggressiven Gasen in den Förderraum nicht mehr besteht und bei der die Mittel zur Ölrückführung aus dem Ölabscheider besonders einfach gestaltet sind.The present invention has for its object a To create a vacuum pump with the features mentioned at the beginning, where the risk of repatriation from aggressive Gases no longer exist in the pumping chamber and at which the Means for oil return from the oil separator especially are simply designed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing Features of claim 1 solved.

Bei dieser erfindungsgemäßen Lösung gelangt nur das Öl aus dem Ölabscheider über die Gasballasteinrichtung in den Förderraum der Vakuumpumpe zurück. In den Ölabscheider geförderte aggressive Dämpfe werden nicht erneut in den Förderraum der Vakuumpumpe zurückgeführt.In this solution according to the invention only the oil comes out the oil separator via the gas ballast device in the Delivery chamber of the vacuum pump back. In the oil separator promoted aggressive vapors are not re-introduced into the Delivery chamber of the vacuum pump returned.

Eine andere, nur bei zweistufigen Vakuumpumpen realisierbare Lösung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die der Rückführung des abgeschiedenen Öls dienende Leitung in den Zwischenkanal mündet, der den Auslaß der Hochvakuum-Stufe mit dem Einlaß der Vorvakuum-Stufe verbindet.Another one that can only be realized with two-stage vacuum pumps Solution of the task according to the invention is that the line for returning the separated oil in the intermediate channel that opens the outlet of the high vacuum stage connects to the inlet of the fore-vacuum stage.

Bei beiden vorgeschlagenen Lösungen mündet die der Rückführung des Öls dienende Leitung an einer Stelle in die Vakuumpumpe, an der während des Betriebs der Vakuumpumpe ein Unterdruck herrscht, der die Förderung des Öls vom Ölabscheider zur Pumpe sicherstellt. Der Einfluß auf das Enddruckverhalten ist. vernachlässigbar. Die Gefahr einer Ölrückströmung in den angeschlossenen Rezipienten besteht nicht mehr. Die Ölrückführung in die der Gasballastzufuhr dienende Leitung hat außerdem noch den Vorteil, daß sie besonders einfach, kostengünstig und nachrüstbar ist. With both of the proposed solutions, the return leads to the return the oil serving line at one point in the vacuum pump, on the during the operation of the vacuum pump There is negative pressure, which is the conveyance of the oil from the oil separator to the pump. The influence on the final pressure behavior is. negligible. The danger of one There is backflow of oil in the connected recipient no more. The oil return into the gas ballast supply serving line also has the advantage that it is particularly simple, inexpensive and can be retrofitted.

Die Ankerabschnitte 21,22 sind mit Schlitzen 25, 26 für Schieber 27, 28 ausgerüstet. Diese sind jeweils von der zugehörigen Stirnseite des Rotors her eingefräst, so daß in einfacher Weise exakte Schlitzabmessungen erreicht werden können. Der Lagerabschnitt 23 liegt zwischen den Ankerabschnitten 21, 22. Lagerabschnitt 23 und Lagerbohrung 11 bilden die einzige Lagerung des Rotors.The anchor sections 21, 22 are provided with slots 25, 26 for Slider 27, 28 equipped. These are each from the associated end face of the rotor milled here, so that achieved exact slot dimensions in a simple manner can be. The bearing section 23 lies between the anchor sections 21, 22. bearing section 23 and bearing bore 11 form the only storage of the Rotor.

Der Ankerabschnitt 22 und der zugehörige Schöpfraum 9 sind länger ausgebildet als der Ankerabschnitt 21 mit dem Schöpfraum 8. Ankerabschnitt 22 und Schöpfraum 9 bilden die Hochvakuumstufe. Während des Betriebs steht der Einlaß der Hochvakuumstufe 9, 22 mit dem Ansaugstutzen 30 in Verbindung. Der Auslaß der Hochvakuumstufe 9, 22 und der Einlaß der Vorvakuumstufe 8, 21 stehen über die Gehäusebohrung bzw. den Zwischenkanal 31 in Verbindung, der sich parallel zu den Achsen 15, 16 der Schöpfräume 8, 9 erstreckt. Der Auslaß der Vorvakuumstufe 8, 21 mündet in den ölraum 17, der den Ölsumpf 20 umfaßt. Im Ölraum 17 beruhigen sich die ölhaltigen Gase und verlassen die Pumpe 1 durch den Auslaßstutzen 33. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit sind die Einlaß- und Auslaßöffnungen der beiden Pumpenstufen in der Figur nicht dargestellt.The anchor section 22 and the associated scoop space 9 are longer than the anchor section 21 with the scooping space 8. Anchor section 22 and Ladle chamber 9 form the high vacuum stage. While the inlet of high vacuum stage 9 is in operation, 22 with the intake manifold 30 in connection. The outlet the high vacuum stage 9, 22 and the inlet of the fore vacuum stage 8, 21 are over the housing bore or the intermediate channel 31 in connection, which is parallel extends to the axes 15, 16 of the scoops 8, 9. The outlet of the forevacuum stage 8, 21 opens in the oil space 17, which includes the oil sump 20. In the oil room 17 the oily gases calm down and leave the pump 1 through the outlet port 33. Off The inlet and outlet openings are for reasons of clarity of the two pump stages in the figure not shown.

Koaxial mit der Achse 14 der Lagerbohrung 11 ist das Lagerstück 13 mit einer Bohrung 35 für die Welle 36 des Antriebsmotors 4 ausgerüstet. Die Abdichtung der Welle 36 zum Lagerstück 13 erfolgt durch die Wellendichtringe 37 in den Aussparungen 38. Die Kupplung des Rotors 3 mit der Antriebswelle 36 erfolgt formschlüssig über Nocken und korrespondierende Aussparungen.Is coaxial with the axis 14 of the bearing bore 11 the bearing piece 13 with a bore 35 for the shaft 36 of the drive motor 4 equipped. The seal the shaft 36 to the bearing piece 13 takes place through the shaft sealing rings 37 in the recesses 38. The clutch of the rotor 3 with the drive shaft 36 is form-fitting via cams and corresponding recesses.

An den Auslaßstutzen 33 der Pumpe 1 schließt sich eine Leitung 41 an, die in den ölabscheider bzw. Gasfilter 42 mündet. Das von Öldämpfen befreite Gas verläßt den Ölabscheider über die Leitung 43. Das abgeschiedene Öl sammelt sich im Raum 44 und soll in den Ölvorrat der Pumpe 1 zurückgeführt werden.At the outlet port 33 of the pump 1 closes a line 41 to the oil separator or gas filter 42 opens. The gas freed from oil vapors leaves the oil separator via line 43. The separated Oil collects in room 44 and is said to be in the Oil supply of pump 1 can be returned.

Dargestellt sind zwei Alternativen der Ölrückführung. Bei der ersten Alternative gelangt das abgeschiedene Öl über die Leitungsabschnitte 45, 46 in die Leitung 47, die der Zufuhr von Gasballast in die Vorvakuumstufe 8, 21 der Pumpe 1 dient. Zweckmäßig mündet der Leitungsabschnitt 46 in die Leitung 47 an einer Stelle, die in Bezug auf die Strömungsrichtung des Gasballastes stromabwärts vom Gasballastventil 48 liegt. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß auch bei geschlossenem Gasballastventil die Ölrückführung möglich ist.Two alternatives for oil return are shown. In the first alternative, this comes off Oil via line sections 45, 46 into the line 47, the supply of gas ballast to the fore-vacuum stage 8, 21 of the pump 1 is used. Appropriately opens the line section 46 into the line 47 at one point, the in relation to the direction of flow of the gas ballast is downstream of the gas ballast valve 48. Thereby ensures that even when the Gas ballast valve the oil return is possible.

Bei der zweiten Alternative strömt das abgeschiedene Öl durch die Leitungsabschnitte 45 und 49. Der gestrichelt dargestellte Leitungsabschnitt 49 mündet in den Zwischenkanal 31.In the second alternative, the separated flows Oil through line sections 45 and 49. The Line section 49 shown in dashed lines opens into the intermediate channel 31.

Zweckmäßig befindet sich im Leitungsabschnitt 45 ein Schwimmerventil 50. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, daß die Leitung 45 abgesperrt ist, wenn kein abgeschiedenes und zurückzuführendes Öl vorhanden ist. Ein Fluten der Pumpe 1 wird dadurch vermieden.Appropriately located in line section 45 a float valve 50. This ensures that line 45 is shut off if there is no deposited and there is oil to be returned. A flood the pump 1 is thereby avoided.
