Abstract: A bellows pump device includes a control unit which, before operation of the bellows pump device is started, performs initial control in which solenoid valves are switched and pressurized air is supplied to suction-side air chambers in advance, thereby determining operation air pressures which are air pressures of the pressurized air to be supplied to the suction-side air chambers during the operation. As the initial control, the control unit outputs control commands to electropneumatic regulators so as to gradually increase the air pressures of the pressurized air to be supplied to the suction-side air chambers in advance, and when detection signals resulting from detection of expansion positions of the bellows are inputted from the proximity sensors to the control unit, the control unit determines the air pressures of the pressurized air supplied to the suction-side air chambers at that time as the operation air pressures.

Abstract: A bellows pump device includes: a first electropneumatic regulator 51 that adjusts a first air pressure of pressurized air in a first discharge-side air chamber 21A of a first air cylinder unit 27; a second electropneumatic regulator 52 that adjusts a second air pressure of pressurized air in a second discharge-side air chamber 21B of a second air cylinder unit 28; and a control unit 6 that controls the first electropneumatic regulator 51 such that the first air pressure is continuously decreased during a period from a time when a second bellows 14 starts contracting until a first bellows 13 comes into a most contracted state, and controls the second electropneumatic regulator 52 such that the second air pressure is continuously decreased during a period from a time when the first bellows 13 starts contracting until the second bellows 14 comes into a most contracted state.
