VACUUM VALVE
First Claim
1. Vacuum valve comprising:
- a wall (1) with a valve opening (2) that is surrounded by a valve seat (4), at least one valve plate (5) is arranged in a vacuum region of the vacuum valve and is adjustable from an open position in which the valve opening (2) is open in a longitudinal direction (6), into an intermediate position in which the valve plate covers the valve opening (2) but is lifted from the valve seat (4), and from the intermediate position the valve plate is adjustable in a transverse direction (7) at a right angle to the longitudinal direction (6) into a closed position in which the valve plate is pressed onto the valve seat (4) and closes the valve opening (2),at least one valve rod (12) carries the valve plate (5) and is guided out from the vacuum region of the vacuum valve and is displaceable relative to the wall (1) in the longitudinal direction (6) lying parallel to the longitudinal axis (14) of the valve rod (12), and also can be displaced parallel and relative to the wall in the transverse direction (7),a longitudinal drive device (15, 15′
) is arranged outside of the vacuum region of the vacuum valve by which the valve rod (12) can be displaced in the longitudinal direction (6) for adjusting the valve plate (5) between the open position and the intermediate position, anda transverse drive device (16, 16′
) is arranged outside of the vacuum region of the vacuum valve by which the valve rod (12) can be displaced parallel and in the transverse direction (7) for adjusting the valve plate (5) between the intermediate position and the closed position,a bearing unit (17, 17′
) lies outside of the vacuum region of the vacuum valve and is connected rigidly to the wall (1) by which a guide unit (20, 20′
) that guides the valve rod (12) displaceable in the longitudinal direction (6) is guided in a displaceable manner in the transverse direction (7).

Abstract
A vacuum valve including a wall (1) having a valve opening (2) surrounded by a valve seat (4), at least one valve plate (5), which is disposed in a vacuum region of the vacuum valve and can be moved from an open position in a longitudinal direction (6) into an intermediate position, and from the intermediate position in a transverse direction (7) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (6) into a closed position. At least one valve rod (12), which carries the valve plate (5), is led through the vacuum region of the vacuum valve and can be displaced relative to the wall (1) in the longitudinal direction (6) located parallel to the longitudinal axis (14) of the valve rod (12), and also in the transverse direction (7). Longitudinal and transverse drive devices (15, 15′, 16, 16′) are disposed outside of the vacuum region of the vacuum valve, and the drive devices can displace the valve rod (12) in the longitudinal direction (6) and in the transverse direction (7) in order to adjust the valve plate (5). A bearing unit (17, 17′) is provided, which is located outside of the vacuum region of the vacuum valve and rigidly connected to the wall (1) and by which a guide unit (20, 20′) that displaceably guides the valve rod (12) in the longitudinal direction (6) is guided displaceably in the transverse direction (7).
