Patent number: 11917764Abstract: A tape autoloading device includes a tape leading-end processing device, which forms the leading end of a carrier tape into a predetermined shape, and a transfer device, which carries the carrier tape in a first direction different from the tape longitudinal direction and transfers the carrier tape to the next step. Tape leading-end processing device includes a feeding device for conveying the carrier tape along a conveyance path formed in a groove in a guide member, a pressing device for pressing the upper surface of the carrier tape, and a cutting device for cutting the leading-end of the carrier tape. The transfer device includes a guide device for guiding the carrier tape having a leading end formed into a predetermined shape, a gripping device for gripping the leading end of the carrier tape, and a moving device for moving the carrier tape in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: FUJI CORPORATIONInventors: Kazushi Nonoyama, Satoshi Imanishi, Daisuke Suzuki, Masami Kawabata

Patent number: 5388420Abstract: A heat storage type air conditioner which is free from a difficulty that, when a general cooling and heating circuit and a cold radiating and heat radiating circuit are operated separately or simultaneously, the quantities of refrigerant in those circuits become smaller or larger than required, so that its compressor is damaged or the cooling or heating capacity is lowered. When, in a heat storage type air conditioner, first and second bypass circuits 22 and 23 are closed, a general cooling and heating circuit 18 driven by a compressor 1 and a cold radiating and heat radiating circuit 21 driven by a refrigerant gas pump 13 are made independent of each other, so that a cooling operation or a heating operation is carried out with the aid of a first use-side heat exchanger 4a and a second use-side heat exchanger 4b. Therefore, in the air conditioner, the refrigerant or refrigerating machine oil will never concentrate in any one of the two circuits.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1994Date of Patent: February 14, 1995Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Yoshida, Yasufumi Hatamura, Hideaki Tagashira, Masami Imanishi, Keiji Nonami

Patent number: 5323618Abstract: A heat storage type air conditioning system capable of performing refrigerant receiving and discharging control and oil quantity control, which, in operating the general cooling circuit and the cold radiating circuit simultaneously or separately, is free from difficulties that the compressor is damaged or the cooling capacity is lowered when the quantities of refrigerant in those circuits are excessively increased or decreased, and is able to continue the operations with the quantity of refrigerant and the quantity of ice machine oil adjusted to suitable values. In the heat storage type air conditioning system, evaporators are provided in a general cooling circuit driven by a compressor and in a cold radiating circuit driven by a refrigerant gas pump, respectively, so that those circuits operate independently of each other. Furthermore, bypass circuits are provided to allow refrigerant to flow between liquid pipes and between gas pipes in those circuits.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1993Date of Patent: June 28, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Yoshida, Hideaki Tagashira, Masami Imanishi, Hiroaki Hama, Moriya Miyamoto, Hiroshi Nakata, Osamu Morimoto

Patent number: 4563879Abstract: A heat pump employing a capillary tube as an expansion device is disclosed. The main throttle portion of the heat pump comprises a main capillary tube and a by-pass through which a portion of the refrigerant flows and cools the refrigerant flowing through the main capillary tube. A solenoid valve for controlling the flow of refrigerant through the main capillary tube is connected to the intake of the main capillary tube, and an electrical expansion valve is connected to the intake of the by-pass for controlling the flow therethrough. An auxiliary capillary tube for cooling and an auxiliary capillary tube for heating are connected in parallel with the main throttle portion, both capillary tubes having a higher resistance to flow than the main capillary tube.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1985Date of Patent: January 14, 1986Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Hama, Masami Imanishi, Naoki Tanaka

Patent number: 4498310Abstract: A heat pump system in which the amount of opening of an expansion valve is set to an optimum value in dependence upon the inlet temperature of water undergoing heat exchange at a utilization side heat exchanger and an inlet temperature of air undergoing heat exchange at a non-utilization side heat exchanger. In response to the sensed temperature values, a controller determines the optimum amount of valve opening so as to provide a maximum system capacity and efficiency. The controller may be implemented with a microprocessor and a read-only memory. In the read-only memory are stored data values representing optimum opening settings of the expansion valve corresponding to various values of the sensed inlet temperature of water at the utilization side heat exchanger and the inlet temperature of the air at the non-utilization side heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1983Date of Patent: February 12, 1985Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masami Imanishi, Naoki Tanaka

Patent number: 4448037Abstract: Described is a cooling/heating and hot water service system making use of a single heat source apparatus. The system includes a heat pump chiller designed to perform cyclic operations of heating and cooling, a heat exchanger unit having a heat exchanger adapted for supplying hot water and a water reservoir. The operating time zone for storage of hot water and the operating time zone for heating and cooling the room are set by a first program timer while the operating time zone for servicing hot water is set by a second program timer.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1983Date of Patent: May 15, 1984Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Hama, Masami Imanishi, Yasuyuki Funahashi, Seiichi Kato
