  • Publication number: 20260160242
    Abstract: A control unit 6 of a bellows pump device 1 determines whether or not a second bellows 14 (first bellows 13) is in a predetermined expanded state when the first bellows 13 (second bellows 14) contracts to a mid-contraction state, on the basis of respective detection signals of a first detection unit 29 and a second detection unit 31, and when a determination result of the determination is negative, the control unit 6 performs next pressure increase control of controlling a second electropneumatic regulator 52 (first electropneumatic regulator 51) such that an air pressure of a pressurized air to be supplied to a second suction-side air chamber 26B (first suction-side air chamber 26A) of a second driving unit 28 (first driving unit 27) at next expansion of the second bellows 14 (first bellows 13) is increased.

  • Publication number: 20260160241
    Abstract: A bellows pump device includes a control unit configured to perform operation control of a first driving unit and a second driving unit on the basis of respective detection signals of a first detection unit and a second detection unit such that, after expansion drive of a first bellows (second bellows) is stopped in a first mid-expansion state (second mid-expansion state) before a most expanded state, contraction drive of the first bellows (second bellows) is started before the second bellows (first bellows) reaches a most contracted state.

  • Patent number: 12454948
    Abstract: A control unit of a bellows pump device performs pressure increase control of determining whether or not a second bellows (first bellows) is in the middle of expansion when the first bellows (second bellows) contracts to a mid-contraction state, and when a determination result thereof is positive, outputting a pressure increase command to a second electropneumatic regulator (first electropneumatic regulator) such that an air pressure of pressurized air to be supplied to a second suction-side air chamber (first suction-side air chamber) of a second driving unit (first driving unit) is increased at next expansion of the second bellows (first bellows). The control unit counts the number of times the pressure increase control has been consecutively performed, and when the counted number of times has exceeded a predetermined number of times, the control unit determines that the second electropneumatic regulator (first electropneumatic regulator) is abnormal.

  • Patent number: 11060518
    Abstract: A reciprocating pump includes: a housing with a fluid channel that includes a pump chamber; a reciprocated member that is disposed in the housing to form the pump chamber, and reciprocable for suction and discharge of fluid; an actuator configured to reciprocate the reciprocated member; and a pressure gauge with a pressure receiving portion, configured to detect pressure of the fluid in the fluid channel via the pressure receiving portion. The housing includes an inner wall facing the fluid channel, and a flexible, membranous portion placed continuously next to the inner wall to face the fluid channel. The pressure gauge is attached to the housing such that the membranous portion is sandwiched between the pressure receiving portion and the fluid channel.

  • 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.
