Technical Field
The present invention relates to a vacuum pump capable of coping with a torque generated at an abnormal time, a method of fixing the vacuum pump, an outer casing, an auxiliary flange, and a conversion flange.
Background
Molecular pumps (vacuum pumps) such as turbo molecular pumps and screw groove pumps are used for exhaust gases in semiconductor manufacturing apparatuses and vacuum vessels requiring high vacuum such as electron microscopes.
Such a vacuum pump is generally provided with a flange having a predetermined size, and is fixed to a flange (hereinafter referred to as a device-side flange) of an exhaust port of a device (hereinafter referred to as a device) requiring exhaust by bolts or the like.
The flange of the vacuum pump (hereinafter, the flange of the vacuum pump is referred to as an intake port flange) and the device-side flange are fixed to each other with an O-ring interposed therebetween, thereby maintaining high airtightness.
The vacuum pump is provided with a rotor rotatably supported and rotatable at a high speed by a motor, and a stator fixed inside a housing of the vacuum pump. Further, the motor rotates at a high speed, and the rotor and the stator interact with each other to perform an exhaust function. By this exhaust action, the gas on the device side is sucked from the suction port of the vacuum pump and exhausted from the exhaust port. This achieves a high vacuum state within the device.
Generally, a vacuum pump discharges gas in a molecular flow region (a region where the degree of vacuum is high and the frequency of collision of molecules with each other is small). In order to exert the exhaust capability in this molecular flow region, the rotor needs to rotate at a high speed of about 3 ten thousand revolutions per minute.
However, when a problem occurs during the operation of the molecular pump and the rotor collides with the stator or other members fixed in the vacuum pump, the amount of angular motion of the rotor is transmitted to the stator or other fixed members, and a large torque is instantaneously generated to rotate the entire vacuum pump in the rotational direction of the rotor. This torque also applies a large stress to the device side via the flange. If torque is transmitted to the device side, a shearing force acts on the bolt that fixes the inlet flange and the device side flange, and there is a possibility that the bolt is broken or, in some cases, the molecular pump may fall down.
In such a situation, there is a possibility that a product inside the apparatus is adversely affected and an internal gas (or a toxic gas) may leak.
Therefore, in order to alleviate such a shock caused by the torque, various proposals have been made, such as providing a buffer member for the torque in the intake port flange.
