Publication number: 20070012894Abstract: A vacuum gate valve capable of airtightly isolating or interconnecting two vacuum chambers adopts a link lever mechanism to convert a vertical linear dynamic force into a vertical force and a transversal force required for opening or shutting the valve, so as to provide a transversal force large enough to resist the pressure difference between the two vacuum chambers. In the meantime, the invention can prevent an O-ring of the valve from being worn out or damaged when the valve is opened or shut. If the shut valve has no dynamic force, an airtight status will be maintained to isolate the two vacuum chambers. The vacuum gate valve of the invention adopts a low-price flexible sealed tube to lower the cost of the vacuum device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2005Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventor: Hwa-Fu Chen
