Title:
VACUUM PUMP DEVICE AND CONTROLLER THEREFOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/013274
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To reduce the size of a vacuum pump device while eliminating vibration by efficiently removing the heat of a control circuit substrate incorporated in a controller without relying upon conventional forced air-cooling system and water-cooling system. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] In this controller (3) mounted on the outside of a pump body (2) and having the built-in control circuit substrate (34) to control the operation of the pump body, a heat sink (4) covering the periphery of the controller (3) and having a plurality of fins (43, 43,...) arranged in order on the outer wall surface thereof is installed, the orientations of the fins (43) are tilted relative to the rotating center axis (L) of the pump body (2), and a large number of vent holes (36, 36,...) are opened in the rear panel (31-2) and the bottom panel (31-3) of a controller case (31). Thus, even if the pump body (2) takes any attitude against a vacuum chamber (10), the heat radiating surfaces of the fins (43) face diagonal upward, and accordingly the natural convection of air flowing between the fins (43, 43) is liable to occur and hot air in the case is securely released to the outside through the vent holes (36). As a result, the heat radiating efficiency of the heated controller (3) can be increased.
