Publication number: 20150171458Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel cell module capable of properly supporting many cell stacks. A plurality of thin plate holes (21-1 to 21-n), through which a plurality of cell stacks (5-1 to 5-n) respectively penetrate, are formed in a tube plate (2) supporting the plurality of cell stacks (5-1 to 5-n). The tube plate (2) is formed of a plurality of thin plate portions (22-1 to 22-n) forming the plurality of thin plate holes (21-1 to 21-n) and a thick plate portion (23) disposed surrounding the plurality of thin plate portions (22-1 to 22-n) and having a larger plate thickness than the plurality of thin plate portions (22-1 to 22-n). Such a tube plate (2) is less likely to deform compared with other tube plates having a generally uniform plate thickness.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2014Publication date: June 18, 2015Applicant: MITSUBISHI HITACHI POWER SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Koji Miyamoto, Masahiro Mihara, Norihisa Matake, Takeshi Matsuo, Shunsaku Matsumoto, Katsuaki Inoue, Masaki Yasunaga, Tomonori Souda

Publication number: 20130078330Abstract: A precision press device and a press load control method is provided for downsizing a vacuum chamber in press work in the vacuum chamber, shortening a time required to reach a vacuum and performing high accuracy pressure control. A pressure sensor is set up outside the chamber 16 and a cylinder chamber 17 is formed to allow a tubular plunger 7 to slide up and down. A negative pressure 22 in the chamber 16 attracts the pressurized section 2 and the pressurizing section 1, but by injecting an equivalent pressure 19 of a fluid into the cylinder chamber 17, pushing out the tubular plunger 7, the attractive forces are canceled out.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2012Publication date: March 28, 2013Applicant: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daisuke Shimao, Katsuaki Inoue, Takashi Kurata

Patent number: 8387526Abstract: The present invention provides a precision press device and a press load control method thereof for downsizing a vacuum chamber in press work in the vacuum chamber, shortening a time required to reach a vacuum and further performing high accuracy pressure control. To downsize a chamber 16, a pressure sensor is set up outside the chamber 16 and a cylinder chamber 17 is formed to allow a tubular plunger 7 to slide up and down using the tubular shape of the chamber 16. A negative pressure 22 in the chamber 16 attracts the pressurized section 2 and the pressurizing section 1 to each other, but by injecting an equivalent pressure 19 of a fluid into the cylinder chamber 17, pushing out the tubular plunger 7, the attractive forces are canceled out. It is possible to control the load on the substrate or the like transferred by the press stage with high accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Daisuke Shimao, Katsuaki Inoue, Takashi Kurata

Patent number: 4718655Abstract: Paper sheets transported from a transporting line are stacked successively into a receiving station by a vane-wheel type receiving and guiding device. The paper sheets stacked in the receiving station are taken out to a subsequent transporting line one by one by a friction pick-up and separating and feeding device. The friction pick-up and/or the vane-wheel type receiving and guiding device are rotatable. The friction pick-up is retracted from the surface of the stacked paper sheets when the paper sheets are stacked and when the paper sheets are taken out and is moved to abut the surface of the stacked paper sheets to thereby permit the taking out of the paper sheets.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1985Date of Patent: January 12, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masao Okayama, Masataka Kawauchi, Tamio Innami, Tsuyoshi Ogasawara, Yutaka Nagasawa, Shigeru Sasaki, Yoshio Fukudome, Yasuo Shiragai, Katsuaki Inoue
