Instead, the cylinder 30 may be configured to reciprocate between the first position and the second position by a drive unit including a rack and pinion mechanism.
- the cylinder 30 is configured to reciprocate between the first position and the second position by the cylinder driving unit 34 including the servo motor 45, but is not limited thereto.
- the cylinder drive unit 34 including an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder may be configured to reciprocate between the first position and the second position.
- the first piston flow path 37 which is a passage communicating the piston 31 with the first space 35 and the first piston rod flow path 28, the second space 36 and the second piston rod.
- the second piston internal flow path 38 which is a passage communicating with the internal flow path 29 is formed, the present invention is not limited to this.
- the first piston flow path 137 which is a passage communicating the piston 31 with the second space 36 and the first piston rod flow path 28, the first space 35, You may form the 2nd piston internal flow path 138 which is a channel
- the first flow line communicates with the first space 35 via the first piston flow path 37 and the first piston rod flow path 28, and the second flow line is the second flow line.
- the first flow line and the second flow line may be connected to connection ports 125 b formed on the respective end wall surfaces 25 of the cylinder 30.
- the through-hole 125a which penetrates this in the one end part wall surface 25 of the cylinder 30 may be formed, and the piston rod 132 penetrated by this through-hole 125a may be arrange
- the present invention can be applied to a liquid supply apparatus that supplies paint to a discharge gun of a painting robot.

Abstract
Description
[全体構成]
図1は、本発明の実施形態に係る液体供給装置100の構成例を概略的に示す図である。
[液体供給装置本体の構成]
図2は、液体供給装置本体4の構成例を示す図である。
[制御部]
液体供給装置100が備える制御器59は、例えば、CPU等の演算器を有する制御部60と、ROM及びRAM等のメモリを有する記憶部61とを備えている。制御部60は、集中制御する単独の制御器で構成されていてもよく、互いに協働して分散制御する複数の制御器で構成されてもよい。制御部60は、シリンダ駆動部34,第1遮断弁14,第2遮断弁15,第3遮断弁16,第4遮断弁17及び還流遮断弁21の動作を制御することによって液体供給装置100の動作を制御する。記憶部61には所定の制御プログラムが記憶されていて、制御部がこれらの制御プログラムを読み出して実行することにより、液体供給装置100の動作が制御される。
[動作例]
次に、液体供給装置100の動作例を説明する。
上記実施の形態においては、シリンダ30は、ボールねじ機構46を含むシリンダ駆動部34によって第1位置と第2位置との間を往復動させる構成としたがこれに限られるものではない。これに代えて、シリンダ30は、ラック・アンド・ピニオン機構を含む駆動部によって第1位置と第2位置との間を往復動させる構成としてもよい。
