Abstract:
The micro molecular pump is used to achieve a high-vacuum acquisition for spacecraft micro and small detection devices. To simplify the structure of the pump and reduce the volume and the assembling difficulty, a radial micro molecular pump is studied in this paper. The structural design of the core components of the radial micro molecular pump is discussed in detail. The ANSYS and the COMSOL are used to simulate and analyze the influence of the radial structure, the blade angle, and the gap-chord ratio of the stator and the rotor on the pumping performance. The comparison between the radial and the axial molecular pumps shows that the radial pumps can achieve a higher compression ratio with a same extraction volume.
