  • Patent number: 11965903
    Abstract: An automated analyzer includes a reagent dispensing probe that dispenses a reagent to a reaction vessel, a sample dispensing probe that dispenses a sample to the reaction vessel, a stirring rod that stirs a sample and a reagent in the reaction vessel, and a storage unit that stores special washing information including information about a condition for performing special washing to prevent sample carryover and a washing method. The automated analyzer further includes: a determination unit that determines whether the special washing is required based on information about the sample dispensed by the sample dispensing probe and the special washing information; and a controller that causes the reagent dispensing probe to dispense a wash liquid to the reaction vessel and causes the stirring rod to stir the wash liquid in the reaction vessel based on the special washing information, when the special washing is performed.

  • Patent number: 7168644
    Abstract: A jaw crusher is provided that includes a toggle plate holder mechanism, provided without increasing the overall height thereof, and a reaction force receiver link mechanism of an up-thrust type. A tension link mechanism acts as the toggle plate holder mechanism and includes a link having a tension link, a tension lever, a tension rod, and a tension spring. The layout angle of the tension link and tension rod can be changed freely by the tension lever.

  • Patent number: 7124971
    Abstract: A jaw crusher capable of stable angle detection is provided. For this purpose, the jaw crusher includes a fixed jaw (35), a swing jaw (36) provided to oppose the fixed jaw, a frame (34) for supporting the fixed jaw and the swing jaw, and an outlet clearance adjusting mechanism (62) for adjusting an outlet clearance between the fixed jaw and the swing jaw, and the outlet clearance adjusting mechanism includes a connecting member (61) of which one end is made abut to or connected to the swing jaw, a rotatable rotary member (64) which is made abut to or connected to the other end of the connecting member, a driving mechanism (65) for rotating the rotary member, and angle detecting equipment (69) which is mounted to the frame and detects a rotation angle of the rotary member.

  • Publication number: 20040129815
    Abstract: There is provided a jaw crusher capable of providing a toggle plate holder mechanism without increasing the overall height thereof. A tension link mechanism (70) as the toggle plate holder mechanism includes a link having a tension link (71), tension lever (72), tension rod (73), and tension spring (74). Therefore, the layout angle of the tension link (71) and tension rod (73) can be changed freely by the tension lever (72). The freedom of layout in the height direction can thus be improved. As a result, without increasing the overall height, the toggle plate holder mechanism can be provided for the jaw crusher 30 having a reaction force receiver link mechanism 60 of an up-thrust type.
