A microwave heating device includes a microwave generating portion outputting a microwave, a conductive heating chamber into which the microwave is led and having a short-circuited terminal end in a traveling direction of the microwave, and a tuner provided between the microwave generating portion and the heating chamber. The heating chamber has an opening for passing a member to be heated therethrough. The tuner re-reflects the microwave reflected at the terminal end of the heating chamber onto the heating chamber side. The microwave output end of the microwave generating portion and the tuner are connected by a square tubular waveguide made of a conductive material. The tuner and the terminal end of the heating chamber are connected by a square tubular waveguide, which is made of a conductive material except for the opening for passing the member to be heated therethrough.

Guide tracksprojecting in a vertical direction are provided in a right and left of a running trackand left and right guide rollersare provided on a track guided vehicle and guided using inner surfaces of the left and right guide tracks. Branching rollerseach comprising elevating and lowering means are provided in the right and left of the track guided vehicle and outside the right and left guide tracks. Thus, branching and rectilinear progression of the track guided vehicle is controlled by switching between a state where the branching rollersare elevated or lowered to guide the track guided vehicle using outer surfaces of the guide tracksand a state where the branching rollersdo not contact with the outer surfaces. Whether the track guided vehicle runs straight or shifts to a branch line can be controlled by contacting one of the branching rollerswith the outer surface of the corresponding guide tracks, which guide the guide rollersin the section (rectilinear progression section) different from the branching portion

Track guided vehicle system

According to the present invention, in a carrying system comprising a carrying vehicle and a manufacturing apparatus the interior of which is kept cleaner than a surrounding environment, manufactured articles to be transferred are prevented from being contaminated by foreign matter or the like attached to transfer ports. A carrying vehicle includes a running unitthat runs along a predetermined carrying path, a cleaning unitthat supplies cleaned air, a housing sectionto which the cleaned air is supplied and in which manufactured articles are housed, a transfer portwhich is formed in a side of a housing and through which a manufactured article is loaded into or unloaded from the housing section, and an air injecting sectionA that blows out air toward the transfer port

A cans exchanging system whereby, out of cans arranged in plural rows in the longitudinal direction of a spinning frame, plural empty cans arranged in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the spinning frame are carried out from the rows of cans, and plural full-loaded cans are carried in simultaneously to the carried-out position of the empty cans. A sliver piecing device for piecing together slivers, from sliver feeding cans to a spinning machine and slivers from full-loaded cans while carrying both cans on a cans exchanging carrier is mounted on the cans exchanging carrier.

Sliver cans exchanging system and sliver piecing system

The present invention relates to a sliver piecing method wherein sliver piecing is performed with yarn incorporated in an overlapped portion of sliver ends and since yarn having a suitable thickness is incorporated in an overlapped portion of sliver ends and in this state the sliver piecing operation is performed, it is possible to surely detect and remove spun yarn obtained from such sliver overlapped portion, using a yarn clearer.
