Abstract
A gas ejection apparatus ejects gas using a compressor that compresses the gas by a rotating body inside a cylinder, and includes a detector and a microcomputer. The detector detects a position of the rotating body inside the cylinder based on positions of gears which are coupled to the rotating body. When the microcomputer receives an ejection instruction, the microcomputer controls intake and exhaust of the compressor according to detection results of the detector, and causes the compressor to wait in an intake completion state upon completion of ejection of the gas that was performed in response to the ejection instruction.
Claims12
A gas ejection apparatus that ejects gas using a compressor that compresses the gas by a rotating body inside a cylinder, the gas ejection apparatus comprising:
- a detector that detects a position of the rotating body inside the cylinder based on positions of gears which are coupled to the rotating body;
- and
- a microcomputer that controls intake and exhaust of the compressor according to detection results of the detector when receiving an ejection instruction,
- wherein the microcomputer is configured to cause the compressor to wait in an intake completion state upon completion of ejection of the gas that was performed in response to the ejection instruction.
A gas ejection method for ejecting gas using a compressor that compresses the gas by a rotating body inside a cylinder, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) a detector detecting a position of the rotating body inside the cylinder based on positions of gears which are coupled to the rotating body;
- and
- (b) a microcomputer controlling intake and exhaust of the compressor according to detection results of the step (a) when receiving an ejection instruction,
- wherein the step (b) causes the compressor to wait in an intake completion state upon completion of ejection of the gas that was performed in response to the ejection instruction.
