Abstract
Abstract A turbomolecular vacuum pump has a hollow stator accommodating a rotor having bladed wheels with bladed disks interposed therebetween. Flat blades of each bladed wheel are spaced circumferentially at the surface of its hub and are inclined to planes perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor toward the side of its rotation. Each blade is disposed so that lines of intersection of its planes with the planes perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor are at an angle to the radii of the wheel hub at a point of intersection of these lines with hub circles, and are directed with respect to the bladed wheel at the gas pressure side to the direction of rotation of the rotor, and with respect to the bladed wheel at the gas suction side to a side opposite to the direction of rotation of the rotor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
249 words
A turbomolecular vacuum pump, comprising: a stator having an axial hole; a rotor, accommodated in the axial hole of the stator; at least two bladed wheels, accommodated on the rotor and each having flat blades and a hub, the flat blades of the bladed wheels being spaced about a circumference of the hub, so that flow sections of adjacent passages formed between adjacent flat blades of the bladed wheels reduce in size from a bladed wheel at a gas suction side to a bladed wheel at a gas pressure side, planes of the flat blades of the bladed wheels being inclined, respective to planes drawn perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rotor, in a direction of rotation of the rotor, lines of intersection being formed between the planes of the blade of the bladed wheels and the planes perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor, the lines of intersection resting at an angle to radii of hubs of the bladed wheels, directed towards the direction of rotation of the rotor with respect to at least one bladed wheel at the gas pressure side, and directed away from the direction of rotation of the rotor with respect to at least one bladed wheel at the gas suction side; and bladed discs secured to the stator between the bladed wheels of the rotor, and having flat blades, the flat blades of the bladed discs being arranged at an angle to the flat blades of the bladed wheels.
