  • Patent number: 10408207
    Abstract: A bellows pump device includes first and second bellows mounted on a pump head so as to be expandable/contractible independently of each other and configured to suck a fluid from a suction passage thereinto by expansion thereof and discharge the fluid therefrom to a discharge passage by contraction thereof. First and second air cylinder portions are configured to respectively cause the first and second bellows to perform expansion/contraction operation. First and second detection devices are configured to detect expanded/contracted states of the first and second bellows, respectively. A control unit is configured to control drive of the first and second air cylinder portions on the basis of each of detection signals of the first and second detection devices such that, before one bellows comes into a most contracted state, the other bellows is caused to contract from a most expanded state.

  • Patent number: 10309391
    Abstract: Provided is a bellows pump device that is able to reduce fall of a discharge pressure of a transport fluid during contraction operation of a bellows. The bellows pump device supplies pressurized air to a hermetic discharge-side air chamber thereby to cause a bellows disposed within the discharge-side air chamber to perform contraction operation to discharge a transport fluid, and discharges the pressurized air from the discharge-side air chamber thereby to cause the bellows to perform expansion operation to suck the transport fluid. The bellows pump device includes an electropneumatic regulator configured to adjust an air pressure of the pressurized air to be supplied to the discharge-side air chamber, such that the air pressure is increased so as to correspond to a contraction characteristic of the bellows during the contraction operation of the bellows.

  • Patent number: 10240699
    Abstract: A resin-made pipe joint with enhanced sealing property between a joint body and sleeve. A sealing portion which seals between an inner circumferential surface of an inserting portion of a sleeve and an outer circumferential surface of an inner cylinder portion is formed by press-inserting an inserting portion into a groove portion of the joint body. When the inserting portion is press-inserted into the groove portion, a space is formed between a body cylinder portion located opposite to an opening portion of the groove portion in the axial direction, and the projection end of the inserting portion. After completing press insertion of the inserting portion into the groove portion, in a section including axis of the inner cylinder portion, a region in the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder portion facing the space forms an angle of 5° to 15° to the axis of the inner cylinder portion.
