Abstract

It is intended to provide a vacuum pump so that without upsizing the vacuum pump, noise and vibration are reduced, heat dissipation property is secured, and the casing is downsized. Therefore, at least one turning part is provided in an exhausting path formed in a casing body. The casing body is formed of a material whose thermal conductivity is higher than that of a rotor and vanes, and a cylinder part where the vanes slide is press fitted in the casing body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vacuum pump comprising:
rotary compressing elements in a casing,
wherein the casing comprises a casing body in which a cylinder chamber in which the rotary compressing elements slide is formed, an exhausting path which connects the cylinder chamber and an exhausting port, and an expansion chamber which is formed in the exhausting path,
the expansion chamber is provided at a peripheral part of the cylinder chamber in the casing body, and
a resonance chamber which is branched from the exhausting path is connected to the expansion chamber and is positioned in a different position along the peripheral part of the cylinder chamber from the exhausting path.

2. The vacuum pump according to claim 1 , wherein the cylinder chamber is provided at a position that is offset from a rotation center of the rotary compressing elements in the casing body, and the expansion chamber and the resonance chamber are adjacently provided at the peripheral part of the cylinder chamber at a side of the rotation center.

3. The vacuum pump according to claim 1 , wherein an intake path which leads air to the cylinder chamber is comprised, and an intake side expansion chamber which expands the air flowing in the intake path is provided in the intake path.

4. The vacuum pump according to claim 3 , wherein the intake side expansion chamber is formed adjacently to the expansion chamber at the peripheral part of the cylinder chamber in the casing body.

5. The vacuum pump according to claim 3 , wherein a desiccating agent is accommodated in the intake side expansion chamber.
