A variety of changes are contemplated in each structure of embodiment.Its some change is illustrated below.
Various changes are contemplated in the construction of stop valve 44.Magnetic valve can also for example be used.Magnetic valve It is referred to as solenoid valve, it, which has, makes plunger motion by using the magnetic force of electromagnet to carry out the mechanism of threshold switch, quilt Using in the open and close controlling in the pipe arrangement 26 passed through for fluid.Magnetic valve has the advantage that in the speed of response, is passed in water Sensor 38 can block preferred magnetic valve on the point of pipe arrangement 26 at once after entering water-filling detection.Also, can also in addition to magnetic valve The motor-driven valve driven using motor (motor).Also, it is not limited in the mode of electricity, fluid pressure type etc. can also be used.No matter Which kind of type of drive, stop valve 44 can be provided with mechanical schemes, as long as can be according to the electric signal from control unit 50 at least To standard-sized sheet and fully closed switch over.In addition, as variation, stop valve 44 can standard-sized sheet and it is fully closed between continuously enter Row aperture is adjusted, and can also use discontinuously can switch to i.e. multiple stages the stop valve of aperture.In such variation Aperture adjustment is reached also according to the control signal from control unit 50.
Various changes are contemplated in the construction of water filter 41.In embodiments, as an example, bag Contain:Tubular shell 41a, its two ends are blocked;Two openings, they are arranged on relative two of tubular shell 41a sides Position;And filter membrane (diaphragm element), it collects the moisture of gas in tubular shell 41a.It is arranged at tubular shell 41a's One opening is connected with pipe arrangement 26c, and another opening for being arranged at tubular shell 41a is connected with stop valve 44.Gas is from pipe arrangement 26c is flowed into tubular shell 41a, after the moisture included in gas is by filtering membrane filtration, completes the gas of moisture filter It is open and is flowed out to stop valve 44 from another.It is water droplet to be accumulated by the moisture of filtering membrane filtration in tubular shell 41a bottom. Tubular shell 41a bottom is provided with the condensation water hole as osculum, and is provided with manual unlocking and closes the condensation The condensation water cover 42 in water hole.On more specific structure, for example, due to that can use in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2012-232281 Filter for installation described in publication or Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2008-188489 publications, or utilize its appropriate deformation Device, therefore omit the explanation more than it.
In addition, in the present embodiment, tubular shell 41a is formed by translucent resin or glass.As described later, this is Because water sensor 38 is the structure of optical detection mode in the present embodiment.However, sometimes due to the inspection of water sensor 38 Survey mode is mode of electricity etc., therefore tubular shell 41a, also without translucency, tubular shell 41a can also in this case It is opaque.Also, the mechanism (so-called Auto-drainage) that condensation water cover is opened when having accumulated a certain amount of water can also be arranged on, In this case, the pipe that can also be discharged the water with the outside export of nitrogen safety supply monitor 20 to MS.
Various changes are contemplated in the construction and detection mode of water sensor 38.In the present embodiment, make For an example, it will be utilized for carrying out the photodetector of optical detection as water sensor 38.Photodetector is for example Include the illuminating part 38b and optical detection part (photoelectric detector) 38a being made up of photodiode etc..Optical detection part 38a receive from Illuminating part 38b passes through the light that water filter 41 is transmitted.The water sensor 38 of optical mode can utilize light corresponding with amount of moisture Trap difference and light reception intensity according to optical detection part 38a etc. the presence or absence of moisture and amount of moisture are detected.
The technology used in the various moisture meters having been known in addition, water filter 41 can convert, can convert reality With the various moisture meters changed.For example, being not limited to the moisture meter or the moisture meter using electricity using light.Electrically Water sensor can detect the presence or absence of moisture by determining the change of resistance value corresponding with amount of moisture or the change of electric capacity And amount of moisture.Also, microwave moisture meter etc. can also be used in the case where large-scale sensor can be carried.Even in using In the case of the water sensor of mode in addition to these optical modes, also as described above by advance storing measured value Set in advance a certain amount of detect whether is reached to the water in water filter 41 in memory 56.
In the present embodiment, it is used as closing using whether the water of liquid accumulates certain water in the inside of water filter 41 The determinating reference of stop valve 44.It is preferred that " certain water " is as previously mentioned the half in tubular shell 41a, 1/3,1/5 or The amount of 1/10 grade, rather than a small amount of water droplet.Its reason is illustrated, the script of nitrogen seperation film 74 is for by the gas flowed into The moisture separation of body, the film for removing and generating drying nitrogen.Therefore, it is in even if nitrogen seperation film 74 is humidity in allowed band Vapor flows into the film that will not also break down at once.On the other hand, when directly closing cut-out because detecting a small amount of moisture During valve 44, understand often to the compressed air supply belt under stable flow and pressure to disturb, thus it is not preferred.Therefore, in reality Apply in mode, when the water of the liquid accumulated in the tubular shell 41a of water filter 41 reaches amount set in advance, control unit 50 Close stop valve 44.Therefore, in embodiments, pre- can also only have been accumulated inside water filter 41 to the water of liquid in advance The output signal of water sensor 38 (specifically optical detection part 38a) during the water first set is measured, as It is stored in advance in for the decision content of the judgment of clogging of stop valve 44 in the memory 56 of control unit 50." predetermined water " for example Refer to fill half, 1/3,1/5 or 1/10 of state etc..Water detection process (step S108) in flow chart described later is carried out When, it is compared between the output signal of the optical detection part 38a in water sensor 38 and the light reception intensity prestored.By This, the water being capable of detecting when in water filter 41 reaches predetermined amount.
Installation site to stop valve 44 also contemplates various changes.Stop valve 44 can be arranged on empty from compression Gas maker 10 exports any part of the midway of 75 gas path or the downstream of nitrogen outlet 75 to nitrogen.Specifically, in Fig. 1 In embodiment shown in~Fig. 3, stop valve 44 is arranged between nitrogen seperation film 74 and water filter 41.By closing stop valve 44, it can prevent runny compressed air from flowing into arrive nitrogen seperation film 74, and accumulation internally can also be had to the water of water Blocked between filter 41 and nitrogen seperation film 74.Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the storage water in water filter 41 from reaching nitrogen point From the situation of film 74.Also, stop valve 44 can also be arranged in the gas path between water filter 41 and compressor 12 Way is any place of pipe arrangement 26.Thereby, it is possible to prevent runny compressed air is flowed into from arriving nitrogen seperation film 74.Also, cut-out Valve 44 can also be as be described hereinafter Fig. 5 variation be arranged at like that nitrogen outlet 75.Thus, runny nitrogen can at least be prevented Gas is discharged from nitrogen generating means 1.Water filter 41 may not be adjacent with stop valve 44, can also separate configuration, in water filter Can also be across other sensors between 41 and stop valve 44.In the MS nitrogen safety supply monitors 20 of embodiment In, it is inadequate that stop valve 44, which can only carry out simple flow adjustment,.In MS with nitrogen safety supply monitor 20, from true From the viewpoint of water conservation safety, stop valve 44 is at least before mass analyzer 2 is reached, preferably in the compression than nitrogen seperation film 74 Any part of air intake position by the upstream, when necessary completely plugged pipe arrangement 26.
Fig. 4 is control contents of the MS performed by nitrogen safety supply monitor 20 for showing embodiments of the present invention One of flow chart.The program according to the flow chart generation shown in Fig. 4 is previously stored with the memory 56 of control unit 50. 54 couples of CPU makes MS be rung with the situation of the power on of nitrogen safety supply monitor 20 by the operation of power switch 28 Should, read the program from memory 56 and perform.

Control unit 50 then performs following process step (S104):Determined whether by the measurement of timer 58 from counting Reference instant have passed through the defined time.The process step is the processing for measuring predetermined time interval, time interval example Such as can be 1 minute (namely 60 seconds), can also be shorter than 1 minute or longer than 1 minute.Control unit 50 is controlled to timer 58 System, thus timer 58 carrys out time of measuring using the baseline moment as Fixed Initial Point.If the time of measuring of timer 58 reaches 60 Second, then process step S104 decision condition is affirmative.Here, if first judgement after just starting, then the counting base Punctual carve is Startup time, and when have passed through the predetermined time from Startup time, the result of determination of the process step is affirmative.Such as Fruit be not after firm start, and the process step result of determination for the time being for affirmative in the case of, respond affirmative judgement and make The time measured value of timer 58 is reset to zero, as the newest baseline moment at the time of this judges certainly.Thus, whenever Process step S104 result of determination for certainly when, the time measurement of timer 58 is reset, whenever reaching predetermined time (example Such as 60 seconds) when, process step S104 decision condition is affirmative, thus, it is possible to enter after carry out sensor signal it is defeated Process step entered etc..In addition, process step S104 described herein processing is an example, as long as measure predetermined Between the program that is spaced, then specific processing do not limit.
In the case where not being judged to have passed through the defined time from the baseline moment, processing returns to process step S104, and processing is in holding state until have passed through the defined time.Control unit 50 is being judged to passing through from the baseline moment In the case of having spent the defined time, then perform the sensor output signal of the grade of input pressure sensor 30 and record in storage Process step (S106) in device 56.Control unit 50, which is then performed, determines whether the process step (S108) for detecting water.At this In step, control unit 50 is judged in water filter 41 according to the output signal of the optical detection part 38b receptions from water sensor 38 Water whether reached predetermined water, when water has reached predetermined water by result of determination be set to affirmative.In step S108 Result of determination for affirmative in the case of, control unit 50 then perform in the case where detecting water close stop valve 44 processing Step (S110).Control unit 50 further performs the process step (S112) by lighting and being notified lamp 46.
In the case that control unit 50 does not detect water in step S108, processing is set to jump to power-off judgement (S114)。
Control unit 50 performs process step (S114), to making power-off with the presence or absence of operation power switch is closed Instruction is judged.In the case where being operated in the absence of power-off, control unit 50 makes what processing cycle was passed through to the stipulated time Determination processing step.In the case where there is power-off operation, control unit 50 performs process step (S116), by stop valve 44 Remain off closed state and processing is entered system stopping processing, system time end date is recorded.Then, this time Routine terminate, and system stop.
