Abstract

A turbomolecular pump device includes: a turbomolecular pump main body; a power unit that drives the turbomolecular pump main body; and a water cooling unit that is provided between the turbomolecular pump main body and the power unit, wherein components provided in a casing of the power unit are classified into an intensive cooling required component that requires intensive cooling, a moderate cooling required component that requires moderate cooling, and a no cooling required component that requires substantially no cooling, the intensive cooling required component is mounted on a first high-conductivity substrate contacting to the water cooling unit, the moderate cooling required component is mounted on a second high heat-conductive substrate contacting to an inner surface of the casing, and the no cooling required component is mounted on a substrate arranged in a space between the first high heat-conductive substrate and the second high heat-conductive substrate.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device comprising a turbomolecular pump main body including a rotor with rotary vanes, stator vanes and a motor that drives the rotor to rotate, the power unit comprising:
regeneration brake resistor that converts regeneration power from the motor into heat; and
a water cooling unit that is provided between the turbomolecular pump main body and the power unit, wherein
the regeneration brake resistor is connected to an attaching member connected to a lower side of the water cooling unit, the attaching member being made of a heat-conductive material.

2. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device according to claim 1 , wherein
the attaching member is screw-fixed to the water cooling unit by a bolt.

3. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device according to claim 1 , wherein
the regeneration brake resistor is attached to the lower side of the water cooling unit through the attaching member at an inner area of the power unit.

4. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device according to claim 1 , wherein, the attaching member is formed by a ti-shaped cross-section to which the regeneration brake resistor is arranged.

5. A turbomolecular pump device, comprising:
the power unit and the turbomolecular pump main body according to claim 1 .

6. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device comprising a turbomolecular pump main body including a rotor with rotary vanes, stator vanes and a motor that drives the rotor to rotate, the power unit comprising:
regeneration brake resistor that converts regeneration power from the motor into beat; and
a water cooling unit that is provided between the turbomolecular pump main body and the power unit,
wherein the regeneration brake resistor is connected to a member connected to a lower side of the water cooling unit, the member being made of a heat-conductive material.

7. A turbomolecular pump device, comprising:
the power unit and the turbomolecular pump main body according to claim 6 .

8. A power unit suitable for a turbomolecular pump device comprising the turbomolecular pump main body including a rotor with rotary vanes, stator vanes and a motor that drives the rotor to rotate, the power unit comprising:
a regeneration brake resistor that converts regeneration power from the motor into heat; and
a water cooling unit that is provided between the turbomolecular pump main body and the power unit,
wherein the regeneration brake resistor is arranged in contact with the water cooling unit.

9. A turbomolecular pump device, comprising:
