SPECIMEN TRANSPORT DEVICE, SPECIMEN PRETREATMENT SYSTEM, ANALYSIS SYSTEM, AND SPECIMEN TESTING AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

In the prior art, in transport lines equipped with multiple stages of transport lines driven in different directions, it was necessary that drive power sources for driving the belts of the transport lines be provided in a number equal to the number of transport lines. This led to an increased number of drive power sources and to an unavoidable increase in the power consumed by the device as a whole. In the present invention, there is adopted a mechanism for the parallel driving of a plurality of transport lines by a single drive power source, whereby the number of drive power sources needed to drive the transport lines can be reduced, as can the power consumed by the system.
