A temperature management apparatus comprising: a temperature management furnace having a space in which an article placed and for which temperature management is carried out; rod members that include magnetic material; opposing members that respectively oppose portions of the lateral sides of the rod members and include magnetic material; drive apparatuses, which rotates the rod members around the central axis axes thereof and changes the relative positions of the rod members and the respective opposing members; and a coupling degradation monitoring unitfor predicting or detecting degradation in the respective coupling between the rod members and the respective opposing members.

Transfer apparatus

A conveyance system includes a chamber, a plateA disposed in the chamber, the plateA being used for disposing an article thereon, an in-chamber bridgedisposed in the chamberand capable of coming into contact with the plateA, a moving memberA that moves along the in-chamber bridgeand the plateA to move the article on the in-chamber bridgeand the plateA, and a sterilization devicethat sterilizes an interior of the chamber, in which the chamberis allowed to be tightly sealed, with the moving memberA disposed on the in-chamber bridge

Conveyance system

A conveyance device includes: moving membersA andB that move along a tablefor disposing an articlethereon; shaftsA andB that are rotatably connected to the moving membersA andB; a contact memberconfigured to come into contact with the article, the contact memberbeing connected to the shaftsA andB; inhibiting mechanismsA andB that inhibit rotation of the shaftsA andB so that the contact memberis held above the article, the inhibiting mechanismsA andB being disposed at the moving membersA andB; and dogsA andB that come into contact, at a predetermined location with the inhibiting mechanismsA andB to deactivate inhibition of rotation of the shaftsA andB by the inhibiting mechanismsA andB, thereby lowering the contact membertoward the table

Conveyance device

A conveying device includes first guide railsA,B; second guide railsA,B for being connected to the first guide railsA,B; a movable holding part that holds the second guide railsA,B such that the second guide railsA,B are movable in transverse directions with respect to longitudinal directions of the second guide railsA,B; and moving partsA,B that move by being guided by the corresponding first guide railsA,B and the corresponding second guide railsA,B.

Conveying device

A transfer apparatus comprises a rod-shaped member that comprises a magnetic material, a cover, made of a nonmagnetic material, that covers the rod-shaped member, a first terminal member configured to allow insertion of one end portion of the rod-shaped member, a second terminal member configured to allow insertion of the other end portion of the rod-shaped member, and a driving device, connected to the first terminal member, that rotates the rod-shaped member about a central axis of the rod-shaped member, in which the rod-shaped member and the first terminal member are fixed to each other, the cover and the first terminal member are fixed to each other, the rod-shaped member and the second terminal member are not fixed to each other, and the cover and the second terminal member are fixed to each other.

Transfer apparatus and storage apparatus

A temperature management apparatus is provided with: a temperature management furnace having a space in which an article is disposed and temperature is managed; bar-like members containing a magnetic material; facing members, each of which faces a part of the side surface of each of the bar-like members and contains a magnetic material; drive apparatuses, which rotate the bar-like members about their center axes and change the relative positions of the bar-like members and the facing members; and a contact member, which moves in the temperature management furnace in association with changes of the relative positions of the bar-like members and the facing members, and which moves the article by being in contact with the article. The drive apparatuses are disposed outside of the space in which temperature is managed.

Temperature management apparatus, transfer apparatus, and transfer base

A transfer apparatus comprises a first rod-shaped member comprising a magnetic material; a first terminal member configured to allow insertion of a first end portion of the first rod-shaped member; a second terminal member configured to allow insertion of a second end portion of the first rod-shaped member; a second rod-shaped member comprising a magnetic material; a third terminal member configured to allow insertion of a first end portion of the second rod-shaped member; a fourth terminal member configured to allow insertion of a second end portion of the second rod-shaped member; a coupling member coupling the second terminal member and the third terminal member; and an opposite member facing a part of side surfaces of the first and second rod-shaped members, wherein the first rod-shaped member and the first terminal member are not fixed, the first rod-shaped member and the second terminal member are fixed to each other.

Two oil passages are defined in a cylinder unit of a rotary compressor for feeding lubrication oil to front and rear bearings. The bearings bear a shaft of a rotor unit relative to the cylinder unit. At least one of the two oil passages is formed with an orifice which is defined by the cylinder unit.
