In order to effectively perform on/off control for an air-conditioning system carried on an automobile during idling operation of the automobile, if a state, in which a difference between a target idling number of revolution and a net idling number of revolution is larger than a preset difference value, is continued for a preset period of time, then an electromagnetic clutch is disconnected, and a compressor is allowed to be in an operation stop state. After that, if the difference is smaller than the preset difference value, and a state, in which the difference is smaller than the preset difference value, is continued for a preset period of time, then the electromagnetic clutch is connected, and the compressor is restored to be in an operating state. By doing so, it is possible to previously avoid the occurrence of vibration of the vehicle body due to vibration of the engine, and the occurrence of booming noise in the vehicle's cabin caused by the vibration. The air-conditioning system is automatically restored to be in the operating state when it is judged that the state of the engine is restored. Therefore, the convenience of use of the air-conditioning system is improved.

Method and apparatus for controlling vehicular air-conditioning system

A surface treatment apparatus having a treatment bath for immersing and treating a workpiece therein with the workpiece being put into and taken out of said treatment bath by the lifting and lowering thereof and with the workpiece being rotated about a horizontal axial line while in the bath. A jig is provided for holding the workpiece having a pair of suspending points at each end thereof in symmetrical relationship about a horizontal axial line. Ropes suspend the jig with each one connected to one of the suspending points at each end of said jig. In a first embodiment, a pair of hoisting apparatuses are provided with upper ends of the ropes connected to suspending points on one side at both ends of the jig being connected to one of the hoisting apparatuses and upper ends of the ropes connected to suspending points on the other side at both ends of the jig being connected to the other of the hoisting apparatuses. In a second embodiment, a pair of jig-rotating wheels are fixed on the same horizontal axial line at both ends of the jig. The ropes for suspending the jig are respectively wound around the jig-rotating wheels. A pair of hoisting apparatuses are provided with one end of each of the ropes being connected to one of the hoisting apparatuses and the other end of each of the ropes being connected to the other of the hoisting apparatuses. In a third embodiment four ropes are used, and in a fourth embodiment a pair of shaft extension portions are used instead of wheels.

Surface treatment apparatus

The present invention is for an apparatus and method of batch type surface treatment on a car body. The car body is rolled in the bath about the horizontal and longitudinal axis of the car body.

Method and apparatus for surface treatment on automotive bodies

A supply line for supplying a sealant from a sealant supply source to a sealing robot has pressure sensors and is coupled to relief valves through branch lines. If the pressure in the supply line excessively rises or drops, then the relief valves are opened to release the pressure from the supply line and the supply pump is inactivated. The pipes, devices, and pump on the supply line are therefore protected from damage. The sealing robot has an sealant applicator gun movable with respect to an article to which the sealant is to be applied by the sealing robot. A pump driving device is controlled to vary the rate at which the sealant is discharged from the pump as a function of the speed of relative movement of the sealant applicator gun with respect to the article.

A vacuum treating method and apparatus wherein preliminary vacuum chambers which are charged with and discharged therefrom materials to be treated are arranged on both sides of a vacuum treating chamber such that the preliminary vacuum chambers are switchingly communicated with and disconnected from the vacuum treating chamber; the materials are alternately moved between both the preliminary vacuum chambers and the vacuum treating chamber and are subject to vacuum treatment for a predetermined period of time in the vacuum treatment for a predetermined period of time in the vacuum treating chamber; wherein when a material to be treated has been charged from one preliminary vacuum chamber to the vacuum treating chamber and a treated materiala has been discharged from the vacuum treating chamber to the other preliminary chamber, the vacuum treating chamber and both the preliminary vacuum chambers are disconnected from each other, then the pressure within the vacuum treating chamber is reduced to a required degree of vacuum and the pressure with the one preliminary vacuum chamber is reduced to a degree of vacuum higher than that required for vacuum treatment, and in the other preliminary vacuum chamber, after a treated material has been discharged out and a new material to be treated has been charged, the pressure reduction is initiated from an atmospheric state; and wherein after vacuum treatment has been made in the vacuum treating chamber, the vacuum treating chamber and both the preliminary vacuum chambers are brought into communication with each other to move the materials therebetween.

Vacuum treating method and apparatus

The surface of a product molded of polyolefin is washed with a fluorine-containing organic solvent such as CCl.sub.2 F--CCl.sub.2 F or CCl.sub.2 F--CClF.sub.2 and, thereafter, the product surface is treated with a plasma. Since the product surface is washed with an organic solvent containing fluorine, wastewater and process operation can be controlled with relative ease. A painted product pretreated by the process of the invention has a high peel strength and water resistance.
