  • Patent number: 10641275
    Abstract: This compressor is provided with a motor, a plurality of shafts each having a gear, a housing (30), and a plurality of impeller sections. The housing (30) includes a first housing element (31) and a second housing element (32) connectable to the first housing element from above and separable from the first housing element. A first upper end surface support section (41) is formed on an upper end surface of the first housing element (31). The housing (30) has at least one insertion support section (40A) having a shape that enables insertion of the gear and that supports the shaft, at a height position different from a height position of the first upper end surface support section (41).

  • Patent number: 9879685
    Abstract: A compressor of the present invention includes an impeller that is rotatably provided inside an accommodation portion of a compressor casing, the impeller includes a blade that extends toward an inner peripheral surface of the accommodation portion, and an outer edge of the blade facing the inner peripheral surface of the accommodation portion is provided with a shroud portion that is formed from a resin layer. With such a configuration, the wear damage of the casing and the blade of the blade wheel may be prevented, and the effort and the time in the manufacturing process may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 9211570
    Abstract: In an ion bombardment treatment apparatus (1A) and a cleaning method, base materials (W) to be treated are held by a work table (11) so as to be placed between a filament (3) and an anode (4) in a vacuum chamber (2), and a discharge power supply (5) which can generate a glow discharge upon the application of a potential difference between the filament (3) and the anode (4) is insulated from the vacuum chamber (2). In the ion bombardment treatment apparatus (1A) and the cleaning method, the efficiency of the cleaning of a base material can be improved and a power supply can be controlled stably.
