  • Patent number: 8469285
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a chemical liquid supply nozzle capable of suppressing the drying process of chemical liquid with a low cost. The chemical liquid supply nozzle is provided with a cutoff valve and a suction unit that sucks chemical liquid to a suction flow path at a nozzle main body connected to a front end of flow path member. Accordingly, the chemical liquid remaining at the downstream side of the cutoff valve after the chemical liquid is discharged, is sucked toward the upstream side of the cutoff valve and removed, to thereby suppress the drying and solidifying process of the chemical liquid at the chemical liquid flow path. Also, there is no need to block the chemical liquid flow path by sucking thinner at the downstream side of chemical liquid flow path, and the number of dummy dispense may be reduced, thereby reducing an overall operation cost of the process.

  • Publication number: 20120181239
    Abstract: There is provided a chemical liquid supply system configured to filter a chemical liquid by opening/closing operations of first and second opening/closing valves and a supply/exhaust operation. The chemical liquid supply system includes a pressure sensor, a flow meter, an electro-pneumatic regulator and a controller. The pressure sensor detects a pressure in the operation room when the first opening/closing valve is opened at a time of starting a replenishment of the chemical liquid into the chemical liquid pump. The flow rate sensor detects an exhaust flow rate exhausted from the operation room. The controller adjusts an exhaust pressure by controlling the electro-pneumatic regulator based on the detected pressure and the detected exhaust flow rate so as not to cause an excessive pressure change when the replenishment of the chemical liquid is started.

  • Patent number: 8016047
    Abstract: An electrical power tool includes a motor, a casing, a casing, a piston, an intermediate shaft, a motion conversion mechanism, and a plurality of types of anti-vibration mechanism. The motor has a drive shaft. The casing accommodates at least the motor. The piston is driven by a rotary motion of the drive shaft. The intermediate shaft extends parallel to the drive shaft and is driven to rotate by the rotary motion of the drive shaft, the intermediate shaft defining an axial direction. The motion conversion mechanism is disposed on the intermediate shaft and is capable of moving in association with the intermediate shaft for converting the rotary motion of the drive shaft to a reciprocating motion. The motion conversion mechanism includes a first motion conversion mechanism that is connected to the piston and moves the piston in a reciprocating motion in directions substantially parallel to the axial direction of the intermediate shaft.
