Abstract
Description
具体的には、1つのガス供給ラインには、手動バルブ、圧力トランスデューサー、レギュレータ、フィルター、マスフローコントローラ及びエアオペレーションバルブ等の流体用パーツが使用されるが、その流体用パーツの流体流入口及び流体流出口を下側に位置するように形成すると共に、流体用パーツ間を接続する流路を形成したベースブロックを流体用パーツの下側に配置することで流体用パーツの並び方向の幅をコンパクトに集積化している。
(1)本発明の変換継手は、ベースブロックに形成された第1流路と第2流路に接続される流路を有する変換継手であって、前記変換継手は、1つの前記ベースブロック上又は2つの前記ベースブロック上に配置される第1ベース部と、前記ベースブロックから離れる第1方向に前記第1ベース部から離間し、前記ベースブロックの前記変換継手が設置される場所に設置される流体用パーツと異なるサイズの第1流体用パーツが設置される第2ベース部と、前記第1ベース部及び前記第2ベース部の間に位置し、前記第1ベース部及び前記第2ベース部を繋ぐ中間部と、前記第2ベース部、前記中間部及び前記第1ベース部を貫通し、前記ベースブロックの前記第1流路の一端に接続される一端側流路と、前記第2ベース部、前記中間部及び前記第1ベース部を貫通し、前記ベースブロックの前記第2流路の他端に接続される他端側流路と、を備え、前記一端側流路の前記第2ベース部側の第1開口部と前記他端側流路の前記第2ベース部側の第2開口部が、前記第1流体用パーツの流体流入口と前記第1流体用パーツの流体流出口に接続可能に設定されている。
なお、実施形態の説明の全体を通して同じ要素には同じ番号を付している。
また、第1流体用パーツ30についても、流体流入口31及び流体流出口32がわかるように、流体流入口31及び流体流出口32の周辺の一部を断面図として描いている。
したがって、別の表現をすれば、第1ベース部41は、2つある向かい合う側面(向かい合う側面41b、41d及び向かい合う側面41a、41c)のうちの一方の向かい合う側面(向かい合う側面41b、41d)が、第1ベースブロックA1及び第2ベースブロックA2上に配置される流体用パーツB1の流体流入口から流体流出口に向かう方向の第2方向Xに沿って配置されるほぼ矩形状の第1外形に形成されている。
また、隣接する1.5インチ用の流体用パーツB(図1参照)との干渉を避けるために、側面41b及び41dの長さD1も第1ベースブロックA1及び第2ベースブロックA2の第3方向Yの幅に合わせたものになっている。
一方で、第2ベース部42は、第1流体用パーツ30を固定するためのネジ螺合部42ba、42bb、42da及び42dbが形成できる程度に大きい第2外形を有している。
また、面取りを行う場合であっても、R形状の面取りではなく、直線状の角を切り落としたような面取りであってもよい。
つまり、本実施形態では、第1ベース部41は4角に面取りを施していないが、第2ベース部42のように面取りを実施してもよい。
一方で、この高さFが高い場合、第1方向Zの高さが高くなる。
このため、この高さFは、6.0[mm]以上10.0[mm]以下が好ましく、7.0[mm]以上9.0[mm]以下がより好ましい。
