Cryocooler

1. A cryocooler comprising:

a cold head;

a plurality of compressor main bodies connected to the cold head in parallel;

a plurality of state detection sensors configured to:

correspond to the compressor main bodies respectively, and

each detect a state of a corresponding compressor main body to output a state detection signal; and

a compressor controller configured to:

stop, in a case where the state detection signal from any one state detection sensor of the plurality of state detection sensors indicates that the corresponding compressor main body abnormally stops, other compressor main bodies that are normally operated, and

allow, in a case where the state detection signals from all of the plurality of state detection sensors indicate that the corresponding compressor main bodies are operated, all of the compressor main bodies to continue to operate.

2. The cryocooler according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the compressor main bodies includes:

a compressor motor, and

a motor current sensor that is the state detection sensor, which detects a motor current flowing in the compressor motor and outputs a motor current signal, and wherein the compressor controller is configured to:

stop, in a case where the motor current signal from any one of the motor current sensors indicates that the corresponding compressor motor stops, the other compressor motors.

3. The cryocooler according to claim 1 ,

wherein the state detection sensor comprises a pressure sensor that detects a pressure of a working gas discharged or sucked from the corresponding compressor main body and outputs a pressure detection signal as the state detection signal.

4. The cryocooler according to claim 1 ,

wherein the state detection sensor comprises a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of a working gas discharged from the corresponding compressor main body or a temperature of a refrigerant, which cools the working gas discharged from the corresponding compressor main body, and outputs a temperature detection signal as the state detection signal.

5. The cryocooler according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a common compressor casing that has a discharge port and a suction port and accommodates the plurality of compressor main bodies;

a discharge flow path that merges from the plurality of compressor main bodies to the discharge port; and

a suction flow path that diverts from the suction port to the plurality of compressor main bodies,

wherein both of the discharge flow path and the suction flow path are configured to allow backflow.

6. The cryocooler according to claim 5 ,

wherein the suction flow path comprises a common storage tank provided between the suction port and a diverting portion to the plurality of compressor main bodies.

7. The cryocooler according to claim 5 ,

wherein the discharge flow path comprises a common adsorber provided between a merging portion from the plurality of compressor main bodies and the discharge port.
