[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-344432 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the environment forming apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 1, a sample stage 85 is attached to a door 81 that slides relative to an apparatus body 83, so that when the door 81 is pulled out from the apparatus body 83, wiring and other operations can be performed with the sample placed on the sample stage 85. However, extension members 82 are disposed on both the left and right ends of the door 81, and these extension members 82 not only have a predetermined width in the vertical direction but are also located at the same height as the sample stage 85, so that when accessing the sample from the side of the environment forming apparatus, for example, there is a problem that the extension members 82 get in the way of the operation.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional technology, and its object is to prevent an extension member fixed to a door in an environment forming device having a sliding door from getting in the way when accessing a sample. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the environment forming device according to the present invention comprises an apparatus body having a space for generating a predetermined environment, a door, and a sliding mechanism for allowing the door to slide relative to the apparatus body so as to open and close the space. The sliding mechanism has an elongated extension member fixed to the door, and a holding portion disposed on the apparatus body for slidably holding the extension member. A receiving portion for the sample is disposed on the door such that a sample is disposed within the space when the door closes the space. The extension member is positioned below the receiving portion. The door has a door body formed in an annular shape and a blocking portion that is detachable from the door body and is inserted inside the door body to block the inner hole of the door body, and the receiving portion is fixed to the blocking portion and is arranged to extend into the space.

[0007] In the environment forming device according to the present invention, the door is slid relative to the device body, and the space within the device body is opened and closed by the door. At this time, the receptacle for the sample placed on the door also moves together with the door. Therefore, when the door is pulled out from the device body, the receptacle placed on the door is also pulled out from the space of the device body. In this state, access to the sample placed on the receptacle becomes possible. At this time, since the long extension member fixed to the door is positioned lower than the receptacle for the sample, even if a user stands next to the environment forming device and accesses the sample on the receptacle from the side, the extension member does not get in the way of the work. Moreover, by removing the closing part to which the receiving part is fixed from the door body, the receiving part itself can be removed from the door body. Therefore, a sample can be placed on the receiving part removed from the door body. Also, the sample on the receiving part can be accessed with the closing part attached to the door body.

[0008] The extension member may be located below the center of the height of the door. In this aspect, even when a sample is placed on the receiving portion and a load is applied to the receiving portion and the extension member, the door can be stably supported.

[0009] A locking portion may be provided for locking the door to the device body. In this case, the locking portion may be located above the center of the height of the door. In this embodiment, when the door is in a state in which the space is closed by the door, the door is supported by the device body by the extension member located below the center of the height of the door and the locking portion located above the center of the height of the door. This makes it possible to stably support the door.

[0010] The locking portion and the extending member may be disposed symmetrically with respect to the center of the door in the height direction. In this aspect, the door can be supported more stably.

[0011] The device body may be a box-shaped body having an exterior, an interior, and a heat insulating material disposed between the exterior and the interior, and one side of the box may be open. In this case, the holding portion may hold the extension member in a state where the extension member is positioned outside the heat insulating material.

[0012] In this embodiment, the extension member is located outside the heat insulating material provided in the device body. In other words, the extension member is located on the opposite side of the heat insulating material to the space inside the device body. Therefore, even when the space inside the device body is heated to a high temperature, the extension member is unlikely to be affected. Therefore, even if a part of the user's body touches the extension member when accessing a sample with the door pulled out from the device body, the possibility of being burned is low.

[0013] The door may be provided with rollers that roll along the floor to assist the sliding movement of the door. In this embodiment, since the rollers assist the sliding movement of the door, even if the door becomes heavy due to the sample being placed in the receiving part, the door can be smoothly slid relative to the device body.

[0016] The environment forming device according to the present invention comprises an apparatus body having a space for generating a predetermined environment, a door, and a sliding mechanism for allowing the door to slide relative to the apparatus body so as to open and close the space. The sliding mechanism has an elongated extension member fixed to the door, and a holding portion disposed on the apparatus body for slidably holding the extension member. A receiving portion for the sample is disposed on the door so that a sample is disposed within the space when the door closes the space. The extension member is located below the receiving portion. The door is provided with a through hole for passing a cable connected to the sample. do. In the environment forming device of the present invention, the door is slid relative to the device body, and the space within the device body is opened and closed by the door. At this time, the receptacle for the sample placed on the door also moves together with the door. Therefore, when the door is pulled out from the device body, the receptacle placed on the door is also pulled out from the space of the device body. In this state, it becomes possible to access the sample placed on the receptacle. At this time, since the long extension member fixed to the door is positioned lower than the receptacle for the sample, even if a user stands next to the environment forming device and accesses the sample in the receptacle from the side, the extension member does not get in the way of the work. Also, The cable can be inserted through the through hole of the door and connected to the sample placed in the receiving section. This connection can be performed with the door pulled out from the main body of the device. This makes it possible to avoid the complicated connection of the cable to the sample placed in the receiving section.

[0017] The environment forming device according to the present invention comprises an apparatus body having a space for generating a predetermined environment, a door, and a sliding mechanism for allowing the door to slide relative to the apparatus body so as to open and close the space. The sliding mechanism has an elongated extension member fixed to the door, and a holding portion disposed on the apparatus body for slidably holding the extension member. A receiving portion for the sample is disposed on the door so that a sample is disposed within the space when the door closes the space. The extension member is located below the receiving portion. The door is provided with a connector for connecting the sample itself or a cable connected to the sample. do. In the environment forming device of the present invention, the door is slid relative to the device body, and the space within the device body is opened and closed by the door. At this time, the receptacle for the sample placed on the door also moves together with the door. Therefore, when the door is pulled out from the device body, the receptacle placed on the door is also pulled out from the space of the device body. In this state, it becomes possible to access the sample placed on the receptacle. At this time, since the long extension member fixed to the door is positioned lower than the receptacle for the sample, even if a user stands next to the environment forming device and accesses the sample in the receptacle from the side, the extension member does not get in the way of the work. Also, With the door pulled out from the main body of the device, the sample itself can be connected to the connector on the door, or a cable connected to the sample can be connected to the connector.

[0018] The environment forming device according to the present invention comprises an apparatus body having a space for generating a predetermined environment, a door, and a sliding mechanism for allowing the door to slide relative to the apparatus body so as to open and close the space. The sliding mechanism has an elongated extension member fixed to the door, and a holding portion disposed on the apparatus body for slidably holding the extension member. A receiving portion for the sample is disposed on the door so that a sample is disposed within the space when the door closes the space. The extension member is located below the receiving portion. The door is provided with a mounting portion for mounting a measuring instrument to which a cable connected to the sample is connected. do. In the environment forming device of the present invention, the door is slid relative to the device body, and the space within the device body is opened and closed by the door. At this time, the receptacle for the sample placed on the door also moves together with the door. Therefore, when the door is pulled out from the device body, the receptacle placed on the door is also pulled out from the space of the device body. In this state, it becomes possible to access the sample placed on the receptacle. At this time, since the long extension member fixed to the door is positioned lower than the receptacle for the sample, even if a user stands next to the environment forming device and accesses the sample in the receptacle from the side, the extension member does not get in the way of the work. Also,Since the measuring instrument is held by the door, when the door is slid, not only the sample but also the measuring instrument moves together. Therefore, the relative positions of the sample and the measuring instrument do not change even when the door is slid. This makes it possible to avoid situations such as the cable being pulled by the sliding movement of the door. Effect of the Invention

[0019] As described above, according to the present invention, in an environment creating device having a sliding door, the rail fixed to the door does not get in the way when accessing a sample. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0022] The environment forming device according to this embodiment is configured as an environmental test device such as a thermostatic chamber for exposing a sample to a predetermined temperature environment and applying a thermal load to the sample. The environment forming device is not limited to an environmental test device such as a thermostatic chamber, but may be configured as a thermostatic chamber for exposing a sample to a predetermined temperature and humidity environment, or may be configured as a burn-in device for applying electrical stress (power supply voltage, signal, etc.) to a sample such as an electronic device in a high-temperature environment. In other words, the environment forming device may be a device that adjusts the surrounding environment of the sample to a predetermined temperature environment and applies a thermal load to the sample.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), the environment forming device 10 comprises an apparatus main body 12 having a space that is open in one direction (test space S1, see Figure 2), and a door 14 that can open and close the open end of the test space S1.

[0024] 2, in addition to the test space S1, an air-conditioned space S2 communicating with the test space S1 is also formed in the device body 12. The test space S1 and the air-conditioned space S2 are separated from each other by a partition wall 16. The test space S1 is open toward the front, and the air-conditioned space S2 is located behind the test space S1, i.e., on the opposite side to the open end.

[0025] An air conditioner 18 is disposed in the air-conditioned space S2. The air conditioner 18 includes a cooler 18a for cooling the air, a heater 18b for heating the air, and a humidifier 18c for humidifying the air. The cooler 18a is configured to cool the air, and therefore can also be used as an air dehumidifier. Note that, when there is no need to adjust the humidity of the air in the test space S1, the humidifier 18c can be omitted.

[0026] The air conditioned by the air conditioner 18 is blown out by the blower 20 into the test space S1. The partition wall 16 is provided with an air outlet 21 for introducing the conditioned air blown out by the blower 20 into the test space S1, and an inlet 22 for returning the air in the test space S1 to the air-conditioned space S2. The air outlet 21 is located at the center in the height direction, and a pair of inlets 22 are located above and below. Therefore, the air blown out by the blower 20 from the center in the height direction toward the front into the test space S1 turns a part of it upward and flows backward, and the remaining part turns a part of it downward and flows backward. Then, the air in the test space S1 flows into the air-conditioned space S2 from a pair of upper and lower inlets 22. Note that the device body 12 is not limited to this configuration, and for example, the air outlet 21 may be formed at the upper end of the partition wall 16, and the inlet 22 may be formed at the lower end of the partition wall 16. In this case, the air blown forward from the upper end of the partition wall 16 into the test space S1 by the blower 20 gradually changes direction and flows downward, and enters the bottom plate (the bottom panel Department 25) toward the rear and flows into the air-conditioned space S2 through the suction port 22 at the lower end. Note that the air outlet 21 may be located at the lower end and the suction port 22 may be located at the upper end.

[0027] The device body 12 is in the shape of a box having an opening on one side. In this embodiment, the device body 12 has a box-shaped exterior having an opening on one side, a box-shaped interior having an opening on one side disposed inside the exterior, and a heat insulating material is disposed in the space between the exterior and the interior.

[0028] The device body 12 includes a bottom panel portion 25, a left panel portion 26 rising from the left edge (right side as viewed from the front) of the bottom panel portion 25, a right panel portion 27 rising from the right edge (left side as viewed from the front) of the bottom panel portion 25, a back panel portion 28 rising from the rear edge of the bottom panel portion 25, and a ceiling panel portion 29 connecting the upper edges of the left panel portion 26, the right panel portion 27, and the back panel portion 28. The partition wall 16 is disposed forward of the back panel portion 28, and the space in front of the partition wall 16 functions as a test space S1, and the space between the partition wall 16 and the back panel portion 28 is an air-conditioned space S2.

[0029] The bottom panel portion 25 has a bottom panel constituting the bottom surface of the exterior, a bottom panel constituting the bottom surface of the interior, and a heat insulating material located between the two bottom panels. The left side panel portion 26 has a left side panel constituting the left side surface (right side when viewed from the front) of the exterior, a left side panel constituting the left side surface (right side when viewed from the front) of the interior, and a heat insulating material located between the two left panels. The right side panel portion 27 has a right side panel constituting the right side surface (left side when viewed from the front) of the exterior, a right side panel constituting the right side surface (left side when viewed from the front) of the interior, and a heat insulating material located between the two right panels. The back panel portion 28 has a back panel constituting the back surface of the exterior, a back panel constituting the back surface of the interior, and a heat insulating material located between the two back panels. The ceiling panel portion 29 has a ceiling panel constituting the ceiling of the exterior, a ceiling panel constituting the ceiling of the interior, and a heat insulating material located between the two ceiling panels. That is, the device body 12 may be configured by assembling a plurality of independent heat-insulating panels (consisting of an exterior panel, a heat-insulating material, and an interior panel) into a box shape with one side open. Alternatively, the device body 12 may be configured by an exterior that is box-shaped with one side open, an interior that is box-shaped with one side open and disposed inside the exterior, and a heat-insulating material disposed between the exterior and the interior.

[0030] The door 14 has a door body 14a formed in a rectangular ring shape and a blocking portion 14b that is inserted inside the door body 14a to block the inner hole of the door body 14a. The door body 14a is made of a heat-insulating panel. This heat-insulating panel also has a structure that includes a hollow exterior body made of a metal exterior panel and a heat insulating material housed inside the exterior body.

[0031] The blocking portion 14b includes an exterior body and a heat insulating material housed in the exterior body. The blocking portion 14b is configured separately from the door body 14a and is detachable from the door body 14a. That is, the blocking portion 14b has a shape and size corresponding to the shape and size of the inner hole of the door body 14a.

[0032] Blocking portion 14b is provided with a fixing device 31, and blocking portion 14b is fixed to door body 14a by operating fixing device 31 with blocking portion 14b inserted inside door body 14a. Blocking portion 14b is provided with a handle 32, and blocking portion 14b can be removed from door body 14a by pulling handle 32 with fixing device 31 loosened.

[0033] The blocking portion 14b is a part of the sample holder 34 for fixing the sample W to the door 14. In Fig. 1(a), multiple (three) sample holders 34 are provided, but it is sufficient that there is one or more sample holders 34. In other words, the blocking portion 14b is not limited to multiple (three) but may be one or more.

[0034] 3, the sample holder 34 includes a closing portion 14b and a receiving portion 35 fixed to the closing portion 14b for holding a sample W. The closing portion 14b has a pair of clamping members 14c, which can be opened and closed by a hinge 14d. The clamping members 14c are also provided with a locking mechanism 33 that locks the pair of clamping members 14c in a closed state.

[0035] The pair of clamping members 14c has a notch 14e formed therein for passing a cable 38 (flat cable 38 in FIG. 3) connected to the sample W, and when the pair of clamping members 14c is opened and the cable 38 is aligned along the notch 14e, and the pair of clamping members 14c is closed in this state, the cable 38 is inserted into the notch 14e of the pair of clamping members 14c. A cushioning material may be placed in the notch 14e.

[0036] The receiving portion 35 is fixed to the inner surface of the closing portion 14b, that is, the surface facing the test space S1 when attached to the door body 14a. When the door 14 is closed, the receiving portion 35 extends from the door body 14a into the test space S1.

[0037] The receiving portion 35 has a frame portion 35a formed in a rectangular frame shape, and a holding member 35b fixed to the frame portion 35a for holding the sample W. The holding member 35b is mesh-like or porous and allows air to pass through. The sample W is placed along the holding member 35b and attached to the holding member 35b by, for example, a string-like fixing member.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1(a), a plurality of sample holders 34 are fixed to the door 14, and the sample holders 34 are arranged so that each receiving portion 35 is in a vertical position and the plurality of receiving portions 35 are lined up in the left-right direction. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the blower 20 is arranged to face the door 14 and blows air toward the door 14. Each receiving portion 35 is arranged in a position extending in a direction connecting the blower 20 and the door 14. Therefore, the air blown into the test space S1 by the blower 20 flows along the receiving portion 35 toward the door 14. Then, near the door 14, the air changes direction upward or downward and flows backward. The holding member 35b of each receiving portion 35 is configured to allow air to pass through. Therefore, the air blown out from the blower 20 can not only flow along the receiving portion 35 but also pass through the holding member 35b in the left-right direction.

[0039] 1(a) and (b), the door 14 is slidable relative to the device body 12 by a slide mechanism 40. The slide mechanism 40 has an elongated extension member 40a fixed to the door 14, and a holding portion 40b that slidably holds the extension member 40a.

[0040] One end of the extension member 40a is fixed to the side of the door 14 (door body 14a). That is, the extension member 40a is disposed at a position that protrudes from the door 14 in the width direction. The extension member 40a extends horizontally and linearly from the door 14 toward the rear. In the illustrated example, a pair of extension members 40a are disposed separately on both the left and right sides of the door 14. The left extension member 40a is located outside (left side) of the left panel portion 26 that constitutes the device body 12, and the right extension member 40a is located outside (right side) of the right panel portion 27. That is, the extension member 40a is located outside (opposite the air-conditioned space S2) the heat insulating material provided in the device body 12.

[0041] The holding portion 40b holds the extension member 40a so as to be slidable, and is disposed on the device body 12. The holding portion 40b has a cover 40c that forms a space extending in the front-rear direction between the cover 40c and the outer surface of the side of the device body 12, and a plurality of rolling elements (not shown) disposed within the cover 40c. The extension member 40a is inserted into the space partitioned by the cover 40c and the side of the device body 12. In the illustrated example, a pair of left and right extension members 40a are provided, so that the holding portions 40b are also provided on the left and right sides of the device body 12. The left holding portion 40b is attached to the outer surface of the left panel portion 26 (the left side surface of the exterior), and the right holding portion 40b is attached to the outer surface of the right panel portion 27 (the right side surface of the exterior).

[0042] In addition, the holding portion 40b may not have rolling elements and may be composed only of a cover 40c extending in the front-to-rear direction, or the cover 40c may be omitted and the holding portion 40b may be composed of multiple rolling elements arranged at intervals in the front-to-rear direction.

[0043] As shown in Fig. 1(b), the extension member 40a is located below the receiving portion 35 arranged on the door 14. That is, the upper end of the extension member 40a is located below the lower end of the receiving portion 35. Therefore, when accessing the sample W held by the receiving portion 35 from the side, the extension member 40a does not get in the way of the work on the sample W. For example, when a user stands on the front side of the paper in Fig. 1(b) and performs an operation such as checking the sample W, the extension member 40a located on the front side does not get in the way of the operation.

[0044] Furthermore, the extension member 40a is located below the center C of the height direction of the door 14. The holding portion 40b holds the extension member 40a so that the extension member 40a is at this position. Therefore, even when the door 14 is heavy because the sample W is held by the receiving portion 35, the holding portion 40b can slide the door 14 stably. Note that, as long as the extension member 40a is located below the receiving portion 35, it may be located at the same height as the center C of the height direction of the door 14 or above the center C of the height direction of the door 14.

[0045] The device body 12 is provided with a locking portion 42 for locking the door 14 to the device body 12. The locking portion 42 is for fixing the door 14 in position with the door 14 in contact with the device body 12, and when the door 14 is locked by the locking portion 42, the gap between the device body 12 and the door 14 is sealed airtight.

[0046] The locking portion 42 is located above the center C of the height direction of the door 14. More specifically, the locking portion 42 and the extension member 40a are located symmetrically with respect to the center C of the height direction of the door 14 when viewed from the side. Note that, as long as the locking portion 42 is located above the center C of the height direction of the door 14, the locking portion 42 and the extension member 40a do not have to be located symmetrically with respect to the center C of the height direction of the door 14.

[0047] As described above, in this embodiment, the door 14 is slid relative to the device body 12 to open and close the test space S1 of the device body 12. At this time, the receiving portion 35 arranged on the door 14 also moves together with the door 14. Therefore, when the door 14 is pulled out from the device body 12, the receiving portion 35 is also pulled out from the test space S1 of the device body 12. In this state, the sample W arranged on the receiving portion 35 can be accessed. At this time, since the elongated extension member 40a fixed to the door 14 is located below the receiving portion 35, even if a user stands next to the environment forming device 10 and accesses the sample W held by the receiving portion 35 from the side, the extension member 40a does not get in the way of the work.

[0048] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the extension member 40a is positioned below the height center C of the door 14, the door 14 can be stably supported even when a sample W is placed on the receiving portion 35 and a load is applied to the receiving portion 35 and the extension member 40a.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the locking portion 42 is located above the center C of the height direction of the door 14. Therefore, when the door 14 is closed, the door 14 is supported relative to the device body 12 by the extension member 40a located below the center C of the height direction of the door 14 and the locking portion 42 located above the center C of the height direction of the door 14. Therefore, the support of the door 14 can be stabilized.

[0050] In this embodiment, the holding portion 40b holds the extension member 40a in a state where the extension member 40a is positioned outside the heat insulating material housed in the device body 12. Therefore, even when the test space S1 is heated to a high temperature, the extension member 40a is not easily affected. Therefore, even if a part of the user's body touches the extension member 40a when accessing the sample W with the door 14 pulled out from the device body 12, the possibility of the user being burned is low.

[0051] In this embodiment, the receiving portion 35 is fixed to the closing portion 14b of the door 14 and is disposed so as to extend into the test space S1. Therefore, by removing the closing portion 14b to which the receiving portion 35 is fixed from the door body 14a, the receiving portion 35 can also be removed from the door body 14a. Therefore, the sample W can be placed on the receiving portion 35 removed from the door body 14a. In addition, the sample W held by the receiving portion 35 can be accessed with the closing portion 14b attached to the door body 14a.

[0052] It should be noted that the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and improvements are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the door 14 has the door body 14a formed in an annular shape and the blocking portion 14b inserted inside the door body 14a, but the present invention is not limited to a configuration having the door body 14a having an inner hole for providing the sample holder 34. For example, as shown in FIG. 5(a)(b), the receiving portion 35 may be fixed to the inner surface of the door 14, and the door 14 may have a through hole 14f for passing a cable (not shown) connected to the sample placed in the receiving portion 35. In this case, a plug member 44 may be provided to close the through hole 14f. In this configuration, the receiving portion 35 is also located above the extending member 40a. The through hole 14f is also located above the extending member 40a. A plurality of receiving portions 35 may be provided, and in this case, the receiving portion 35 located at the lowest position is also located above the extending member 40a.

[0053] 1(a)(b), that is, in a form in which the door 14 has the door main body 14a formed in an annular shape and the blocking portion 14b inserted inside the door main body 14a. In this case, the through hole 14f may be formed in the door main body 14a or the blocking portion 14b.

[0054] Also, as shown in Figs. 6(a)(b) and 7(a)(b), a connector may be provided on the door 14. Figs. 6(a)(b) show an example in which a card edge connector 46 is provided on the door 14 and a through hole 14f for passing a cable is formed on the door 14. The card edge connector 46 provided on the outer surface of the door 14 can connect a cable (not shown) connected to an external measuring instrument, tester, etc., and this card edge connector 46 is connected to a cable (not shown) connected to a sample placed on the receiving section 35. The through hole 14f can pass a cable (not shown) connecting the external measuring instrument, etc. and the sample. The receiving section 35 is located below the card edge connector 46 and the through hole 14f. In the embodiment of Figs. 6(a)(b), the through hole 14f can be omitted.

[0055] 7(a) and (b) show an example in which a plurality of BNC connectors 47 are provided on the door 14. A cable (not shown) connected to an external measuring instrument, analyzer, etc. can be connected to the BNC connector 47 provided on the outer surface of the door 14, and a cable (not shown) connected to a sample placed in the receiving portion 35 can be connected to the BNC connector 47 provided on the inner surface of the door 14. The extension member 40a is located below the receiving portion 35, which is located below the BNC connector 47. The sample W may be directly connected to the BNC connector 47 without a cable. A through hole 14f may also be provided.

[0056] 1(a)(b), that is, in a form in which the door 14 has an annular door main body 14a and a blocking portion 14b inserted inside the door main body 14a. For example, a form in which one half of the door 14 has the annular door main body 14a and the blocking portion 14b, and the connectors 46, 47 are provided in the other half may be used. In this configuration, a through hole 14f may further be provided.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the pair of extension members 40a are arranged separately on the left and right sides of the door 14 and fixed to the lower part of the side surface of the door 14, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, as shown in Figs. 8(a) and (b), the pair of extension members 40a may be fixed near both left and right ends of the bottom surface of the door 14. In this case, the extension member 40a may be inserted into a holding portion 40b provided on the lower side of the bottom panel portion 25. Also, a single extension member 40a formed to be wide may be fixed to the center of the bottom surface of the door 14. In this case, the extension member 40a is fixed to the lower end of the lower surface or inner surface of the door 14. Also, a machine room 48 in which a refrigerator (not shown) and the like are arranged may be provided below the device main body 12. Also, a machine room 49 may be provided behind the rear panel portion 28.

[0058] As shown in FIG. 9, the door 14 may be provided with a mounting portion 52 for holding a measuring instrument 51 to which a cable 38 connected to the sample W is connected. The mounting portion 52 is fixed to the upper surface of the door 14 and has a mounting surface 52a on which the measuring instrument 51 is placed. In FIG. 9, since the inner end of the mounting portion 52 protrudes toward the device body 12 from the inner surface of the door 14, a recess (not shown) is formed in the device body 12 so as not to interfere with the mounting portion 52. The mounting portion 52 may be located above the device body 12 when the door 14 is closed. In this configuration, it is not necessary to provide a recess in the device body 12. The mounting portion 52 may also be configured so that the inner end does not protrude from the inner surface of the door 14 toward the device body 12. For example, the mounting portion 52 may be fixed to the outer surface of the door 14.

[0059] The door 14 is formed with a through hole 14f for passing a cable 38 connecting the measuring instrument 51 placed on the placement portion 52 and the sample W placed in the receiving portion 35 therethrough.

[0060] In this configuration, since the measuring instrument 51 is held by the door 14, when the door 14 is slid, not only the sample W but also the measuring instrument 51 moves together. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the sample W and the measuring instrument 51 does not change even when the door 14 is slid. This makes it possible to prevent the cable 38 from being pulled by the sliding movement of the door 14. The mounting portion 52 for the measuring instrument 51 can be used for any of the doors 14 in FIG. 1(a) and FIG. 5(a) to FIG. 7(a).

[0061] The door 14 is provided with rollers 54 that roll along the floor to assist the sliding movement of the door 14. With this configuration, even if the door 14 becomes heavy due to the sample W being placed in the receiving portion 35, the door 14 can be smoothly slid relative to the device body 12.

[0062] The rollers 54 that assist the sliding movement of the door 14 can also be used for a door 14 that is not provided with a mounting portion 52 for a measuring instrument 51, as shown in Fig. 10. That is, the rollers 54 can be used for any of the doors 14 shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b) and 5(a) to 7(b). This is because the door 14 is provided with a receiving portion 35 for the sample W, and the door 14 may become heavy when the sample W is placed on the receiving portion 35.
