Definitions

  • the present invention relates in principle to an adapter for the information technology connection of a vacuum device to a functional element for the vacuum device.
  • the invention relates to a vacuum system with a vacuum device, functional element and adapter.
  • Vacuum devices are often optimized for certain properties, e.g. in terms of mechanics, attachment, size and manufacturing costs, in order to be able to be used in the best possible way in the respective applications. However, this is usually accompanied by the restriction or waiver of certain functions, such as connection options for accessories, communication interfaces, control inputs/outputs, separate inputs for power supply, operating and display elements, etc.
  • connection options for accessories e.g. in terms of mechanics, attachment, size and manufacturing costs
  • connection options for accessories e.g. in terms of mechanics, attachment, size and manufacturing costs

  • connection options for accessories e.g. in terms of mechanics, attachment, size and manufacturing costs
  • control inputs/outputs e.g. data acquisition via Ethernet for the purpose of condition monitoring or new applications
  • accessories e.g. integrated pressure measurement technology
  • adapters e.g. to connect an RS485 interface and accessories
  • connection components e.g. accessory connections and switches in DC cables
  • the adapters are then adapted to an application, ie plug-in direction, cable outlets, positioning of the respective elements, such as connections, controls and labeling, are based on a specific application and can possibly be do not use in other applications.
  • adapters for accessories e.g. plug connectors integrated in the DC cable
  • cables on adapters exit in different directions due to different mounting orientations of different pumps.
  • the EP 3 029 327 A1 discloses a vacuum system with a vacuum device and a functional element.
  • the US 8,708,722 B1 discloses a power adapter for USB devices, the power adapter having a base element with a USB connection and an interchangeable head with contacts for plugging into a mains socket, different heads with different types of contacts for different country standards being connectable to the base element.
  • an adapter which comprises: a base element, a first and a second primary connector, each for connection to one of the vacuum device and functional element, the primary connectors being connected to one another, a module which is separate from the base element and has the first primary connector and attached to the base member, the base member and the module each having an interconnector which together form an interconnect through which the first primary connector is connected to the second primary connector.
  • the intermediate connector and the separate design of the module or the first primary connector enable particular flexibility and a reduction in the number of adapters required.
  • this allows different modules to be used as required, with one and the same basic element being able to be used in particular.
  • the modules can fundamentally differ in their function or also in their spatial orientation of the first primary connector relative to the intermediate connector.
  • this enables the module to be arranged on the base element in different arrangements or with different relative orientations of the first primary connector to the second primary connector.
  • connection and “connect” are used here in the sense of an electrical and/or information technology connection.
  • a mechanical coupling of two elements, on the other hand, is referred to in particular as “fastening”.
  • the adapter forms at least one information technology connection. In principle, the adapter can also form an electrical connection.
  • connection between the primary plug connectors is made possible by the intermediate connection or is established in the connected state.
  • the Intermediate connectors can be brought together to make the connection, for example at the manufacture of the adapter or by its user.
  • the present invention aims in particular to design parts of the adapter in such a way that the overall product can be adapted to the circumstances in the best possible way, if necessary also by the user himself be provided uniform controls.
  • these can be oriented or configured differently due to the assembly on the overall system.
  • these are always designed the same way, but differ in details or optional functions depending on the device.
  • the connector is only used as a signal or analog input, for example.
  • Accessories are also supported on some devices and not on others. However, the alternative uses are defined in such a way that no incompatibilities arise.
  • an adapter of the present invention should preferably support the maximum set of possible configurations. In a classic design according to the state of the art, this would amount to a device with a fixed assignment of all elements, which can then only be used to a limited extent in other vacuum solutions.
  • the module of the adapter is preferably designed in such a way that it can be mounted at different angles and/or in different places on the base element. The assembly can be done at or before delivery and/or by the user.
  • the parts of the adapter in particular the intermediate connectors are preferably designed in such a way that no impermissible access to certain parts of the adapter, in particular an interior of the base element and/or, for example, sensitive electronic assemblies, can take place.
  • the adapter has a function that goes beyond pure contacting or connection.
  • the adapter has the features according to the invention with particular flexibility, in particular spatial flexibility.
  • the adapter can include a Profinet gateway, the provision of functions or signals and/or signal conversions derived from the primary connectors to other connectors, whereby in particular the connection of the primary connectors can be retained in order to keep the other functions present on these connectors untouched or at least continue to do so to be usable.
  • a supply voltage for a vacuum device in particular a turbomolecular pump
  • the supply voltage can then be passed on to the vacuum device via the first primary connector, for example.
  • other signals for the function can be derived, converted or interrupted, for example RS485 signals, which are only required for a Profinet gateway function and are not forwarded.
  • the invention thus makes it possible in particular to allow as many vacuum devices as possible to benefit from the advantageous function of the adapter.
  • the orientation of the vacuum device and functional element can be chosen advantageously by rotating the module or mounting it at a different location or using a different connector (e.g. HD-Sub-26 instead of D-Sub-15). for example, to design cable outlets advantageously, to take into account the given space conditions or to enable assembly in principle.
  • the module can be arranged and/or fastened in at least two different spatial configurations on the base element. Accordingly, in particular the spatial arrangement of the first primary connector, which is part of the module, is different. This makes it possible in a simple manner for functional elements with differently arranged plug connectors to be connected to the vacuum device.
  • a difference between two possible arrangements of the module can include, for example, a rotation of the first primary connector, preferably by 90° or 180°.
  • the difference can also include several turns, for example.
  • the axis of rotation of the rotation can preferably be the plug-in axis of the first or second primary connector and/or a connection axis, in particular a plug-in axis, of the intermediate connector or, for example, an axis that runs perpendicular to both plug-in axes.
  • a development provides that an assignment of contacts of the first primary connector to contacts of the second primary connector is the same in both arrangements. This can be achieved, for example, by appropriate wiring or, for example, by appropriate programming of a logic element of the base element or of the module. In particular, the assignment is the same for at least some of the contacts of the connector or for all contacts. In particular, the assignment can be the same for several or all possible arrangements of the at least one module.
  • the base element and/or the intermediate connector of the base element can be designed to have different modules with a primary connector can be attached to the base element.
  • the intermediate connector can thus be used for a wide variety of modules, which are each adapted for different functional elements or vacuum devices or their connections.
  • the intermediate connectors on the base element can be designed in such a way that they can be used to connect to functionally different modules.
  • a module of the first type for example with a 15-pin D-Sub socket
  • a module of the second type for example with a 26-pin HD-Sub socket
  • the assembly of a large number of different modules can also be provided.
  • the second primary connector retains its function, in particular regardless of which module is connected. This further increases the possible field of application of such an adapter.
  • a pure plug adaptation can be implemented by the adapter, for example between D-Sub-15 and HD-Sub-26.
  • the module can have a first primary connector with a function that is not provided for in the second primary connector or in the vacuum device or functional element that is connected to the second primary connector.
  • the module can have a Profinet connection that can be used, for example, for different drive devices.
  • the adapter can therefore generally have functions that the vacuum device or the functional element do not have. The adapter thus enables in particular a connection with old devices and, thanks to the additional functions, their upgrading.
  • a computing unit such as a microcontroller
  • the base part which, for example, provides a conversion of information between two connectors, in particular the primary connectors.
  • the computing unit can thus provide, for example, a bus connection for a vacuum device which—for example because of its age—does not have such a bus connection.

  • the relative arrangement and/or connection of the (first) intermediate connector to the second primary connector or the second intermediate connector can preferably be formed by a fixed structure, for example a circuit board, and in particular not by a cable.
  • a particular idea of the invention is that the base element and the module or modules can be flexibly connected to one another as fixed units and that different spatial arrangements and/or different functions can be implemented in this way, and in particular with fewer parts than if - as in State of the art - a specific adapter is provided for each desired configuration.
