  • Patent number: 10130910
    Abstract: A compressed air drying device includes a support base including an inlet of compressed air from a compressor, an outlet of the compressed air, and a discharge port of oil and water. The discharge port includes a drain valve device and a drying container. The container is filled with desiccant and is installed in the support base. In a loading operation, the compressed air drying device causes the desiccant to dry the compressed air introduced through the inlet and discharges the dried compressed air through the outlet. In an unloading operation, the compressed air drying device causes the compressed air to pass through the container to discharge oil and water from the discharge port. A glass fiber filter is provided at one or more of a position upstream of the desiccant and a position downstream of the desiccant in a flow of the compressed air during the loading operation.

  • Patent number: 9561464
    Abstract: A compressed air drying device includes a support case, a drying container installed in the support case, and a cover installed on the support case while covering the drying container. In load operation, compressed air that flows from an inlet of the support case is dried by a desiccant, and the dried compressed air is discharged. In unload operation, the compressed air inside the cover is passed through the inside of the drying container and oil and water is drained from a drain outlet. The compressed air drying device further includes an inlet opening/closing device that opens the inlet in the load operation, and closes the inlet in the unload operation.

  • Patent number: 9279563
    Abstract: Provided is a lamp configured to control an irradiation angle. The lamp includes a light emitting unit that is provided with an LED and a reflector having a reflecting surface that reflects light from the LED. The reflecting surface of the reflector is formed to have a parabolic shape in a cross-section perpendicular to an optical axis of the LED. The reflecting surface of the reflector is formed to have an elliptical shape in a cross-section parallel to the optical axis of the LED so as to condense and diffuse reflected light beams in a forward direction.
