Publication number: 20210388907Abstract: [Object] To provide a gate valve in which a valve plate can be detached from a valve rod easily and reliably even if the valve rod is tightly inserted in a valve-plate mounting hole. [Solution] In a gate valve in which a valve plate 3 and a valve rod 4 are detachably connected along a rod axis L by screwing a connecting screw 14 in a screw hole 21 formed at an end of a valve rod 4 along the rod axis L through a screw insertion hole 18 formed in a valve plate 3, the valve plate 3 includes a contact portion 25 that is in contact with the connecting screw 14, and when the connecting screw 14 is loosened to detach the valve plate 3 from the valve rod 4, the valve plate 3 is displaced along the rod axis L together with the connecting screw 14 by an impellent force of the connecting screw 14 via the contact portion 25 to move to a valve-plate detaching position at which the connecting screw 14 comes out of the screw hole 21 of the valve rod 4 completely.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Applicant: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi OGAWA, Takashi NAGAO

Patent number: 11193753Abstract: A tomographic imaging device includes a light source, a light pulse generator, a wave shaper, a splitter, a frequency shifter, a light path length changer, an optical detector, filters, a demodulator and an analyzer. The light pulse generator generates an optical pulse train from an output of the light source. The wave shaper modulates the optical pulse train by binary phase shift keying with PN codes. The splitter splits the pulse train into two signals, one is shifted by the frequency shifter, and one has a path length changed by the light path length changer. The optical detector inputs back scattered light from an object and the signal whose length has changed, and generates a difference signal. The filters filter the difference signals, and the demodulator demodulates the filter outputs. The analyzer calculates a reflection site of the measurement object by analyzing the output signal of the demodulator.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Inventor: Hiroshi Ogawa

Patent number: 11174950Abstract: A spacer having a wedge-shaped flat plate portion and an engagement protrusion is interposed between a hole end surface of mounting hole of a valve plate and a rod end surface of mounting portion of a valve rod, which thereby forms a wedge-shaped gap between the spacer and the hole end surface so as to open frontward. A fastening force of a valve-plate fixation screw generates a moment M that deforms the valve plate in a direction of narrowing the gap. At the same time, the engagement protrusion of the spacer is pressed into a wedge-shaped space between the inclined surface portion of the rod end surface and the rear hole-wall surface of the mounting hole, which causes the front hole-wall surface of mounting hole of the valve plate to press the rod front surface of mounting portion of the valve rod.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: SMC CORPORATIONInventors: Hiromi Shimoda, Hiroshi Ogawa, Takashi Nagao, Tsuyoshi Ochi

Publication number: 20210122661Abstract: There is provided a method for heating a thermoplastic plate to be subjected to bending which is horizontally arranged while holding at least part of a peripheral edge portion of the thermoplastic plate, causing a portion inside the peripheral edge portion to sag under a self-weight, and bending the thermoplastic plate to a desired curvature. The method includes applying tension in a planar direction of the thermoplastic plate at the time of holding at least the part of the peripheral edge portion of the thermoplastic plate in a molding frame defining a peripheral edge shape in a shape as a goal for reshaping. Since the thermoplastic plate is pulled in the planar direction during the heating of the thermoplastic plate, moderate tension acts on the thermoplastic plate to prevent breakage. The degree of curvature of the thermoplastic plate can be adjusted by adjusting the mass of each weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2018Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: SANKO SEIKOSHO CO., LTD.Inventor: Hiroshi Ogawa
