A clamper includes: a first clamping member having a first base portion and a first contact portion that is to be in contact with one surface of the workpiece; a second clamping member having a second contact portion that is to be in contact with the other surface of the workpiece; and a clamping member biasing member configured to bias at least one of the first clamping member and the second clamping member in a direction of bringing the first contact portion and the second contact portion closer to each other. The first contact portion has a plurality of plate spring portions extending from the first base portion, the plurality of plate spring portions configured to elastically deform independently from each other to come into contact with the workpiece.

A method for rinsing a treatment cell of a workpiece surface treatment system, which obtains a surface-treated workpiece by sequentially carrying the treatment cell containing the workpiece to a series of apparatuses for operations in the respective apparatuses is provided. A surface treatment apparatus performs a surface treatment on the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from a carrying apparatus and supplying a surface treatment liquid to the inside of the treatment cell while rotating the treatment cell. A workpiece collection apparatus collects the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from the carrying apparatus, inverts the treatment cell, and squirts the inside of the treatment cell with water from below to flow out the workpiece. The carrying apparatus carries the treatment cell to the surface treatment apparatus, and then to the workpiece collection apparatus.

Workpiece surface treatment system

Inside a single apparatus main body (), a surface treatment apparatus includes: a treatment cell (); a vertical rotation shaft (); an attachment/detachment device; a receiving tank (); a cover body (); a plurality of tanks (); a plurality of surface treatment liquid supply devices (); a cleaning water supply device; a drain device (); and a first cleaning device. Upon operation of the surface treatment liquid supply device while the treatment cell () containing small objects is rotated by the vertical rotation shaft (), a surface treatment is carried out on the small objects, upon operation of the cleaning water supply device, the small objects inside the treatment cell () are cleaned, and upon operation of the first cleaning device, the inner face of the cover body and the outer face of the treatment cell are cleaned, thus providing circulation use of surface treatment liquids in the tanks.

Surface treatment apparatus

The surface treatment apparatus includes: a supply device for supplying an introduced workpiece to the inside of a treatment cell of a subsequent surface treatment device; a surface treatment device for supplying a surface treatment liquid to the inside of the treatment cell while rotating the treatment cell, thereby performing a surface treatment on the workpiece; a workpiece collection device for inverting the treatment cell, and squirting the inside of the treatment cell with water from below to flow out the workpiece, thereby collecting the workpiece into a collection vessel; a drying device for receiving the collection vessel from the workpiece collection device, and exposing the workpiece within the collection vessel to air, thereby drying the workpiece; and a carrying device for carrying the treatment cell between the surface treatment devices, and between the surface treatment device and the workpiece device, wherein the surface treatment apparatus includes the one or more surface treatment devices.

A workpiece surface treatment system (), which obtains a surface-treated workpiece by sequentially carrying a treatment cell () containing a workpiece to a series of apparatuses for operations in the respective apparatuses, is characterized by including: a carrying apparatus () for sequentially carrying the treatment cell () to a series of the apparatuses in the system; a carrying-in/out apparatus () for carrying the treatment cell in and out of the carrying apparatus; a surface treatment apparatus () for performing a surface treatment on the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from the carrying apparatus and supplying a surface treatment liquid to the inside of the treatment cell while rotating the treatment cell; and a workpiece collection apparatus () for collecting the workpiece by receiving the treatment cell from the carrying apparatus, inverting the treatment cell, and squirting the inside of the treatment cell with water from below to flow out the workpiece, wherein the carrying apparatus carries the treatment cell to the surface treatment apparatus, and then to the workpiece collection apparatus.
