BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a container processing apparatus having a cooling zone that cools the temperature of a container by spraying cooling water on a container to be transported, such as a path riser and a cooler, and in particular, a mechanism for forcibly blowing air into a can body. The present invention relates to a container processing apparatus including
[0002]
[Prior art]
Pastorizers, coolers, and the like cool cooling water stored in the tank by spraying water into the container using a nozzle. The container is cooled by exchanging heat by contacting the cooling water, and conversely, the cooling water is warmed and returned to the tank. Therefore, since the cooling water in the tank is gradually warmed, when the water temperature is detected and becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, water is supplied and cooled, but the amount of water used increases.
In order to solve the above problem, there is Utility Model Registration No. 2603942 as a technique for reducing the use of cooling water by forcibly blowing air into a can and exchanging heat with water spray.
In the embodiment of the publication, two cooling tanks are arranged, and an exhaust fan is provided corresponding to each of the tanks to supply air from both sides of the can body. It becomes a two-way airflow. If an exhaust fan is arranged in each cooling tank as in the above publication, air sucked by the exhaust fan passes through a water spray zone from one cooling tank and is exhausted while taking heat from the water spray. The amount of water used can be reduced.
However, when it becomes a large apparatus with 3 to 5 cooling tanks, it is expensive to provide exhaust means corresponding to each cooling tank. Moreover, if the apparatus described in FIG. 1 of the above publication is made to correspond to an apparatus in which four cooling tanks of 70 ° C., 60 ° C., 50 ° C., and 30 ° C. are arranged, from one side of the can body The supplied air is exhausted through the high temperature tank (70 ° C.) → the low temperature tank (60 ° C.), and the air supplied from the other side is exhausted through the low temperature tank (30 ° C.) → the high temperature tank (50 ° C.). Become.
In that case, for example, when air of 20 ° C. is supplied from the high temperature tank (70 ° C.), the air rises to near 70 ° C. before reaching the low temperature tank (60 ° C.), and even if air is blown into the low temperature tank, water is sprinkled. Instead of cooling the water, the temperature rises conversely, so water must be supplied to the water storage tank and cooled.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a container processing apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention (this example is a cooler), FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part thereof, and FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of FIG.
The cooler 1 is provided with three watering zones in the inside of the can body 2, along the transport direction of the transport conveyor 3, from the first water spray zone 4 on the upstream side (left side in FIG. 1), The 3rd watering zones 5 and 6 are located in order.
Under the watering zones 4, 5, 6, there are water tanks (first water tank 7, second water tank 8 and third water tank 9 in order from the upstream side) and pumps (first pump 10, second pump). 11 and the third pump 12), and a plurality of rows of watering nozzles (a first watering nozzle 13, a second watering nozzle 14 and a third watering nozzle 15) are respectively installed on the upper part. The water stored in each of the water tanks 7, 8, 9 is set to different temperatures set by temperature control means (not shown). In this embodiment, the first water tank 7 is 70 ° C., The second water tank 8 is set to 50 ° C. and the third water tank 9 is set to 30 ° C. so that the third water tank 9 overflows to the second water tank 8 and the second water tank 8 to the first water tank 7. It has become. A supply conveyor 17 is disposed on the upstream side of the transport conveyor 3 through the inlet 16 of the can body 2, and a discharge conveyor 18 is disposed on the downstream side of the transport conveyor 3, and passes through the outlet 19 of the can body 2. The container 20 is conveyed downstream.
[0012]
Further, in the cooler 1 of the present embodiment, an air supply duct 22 provided with an air supply fan 21 is disposed above the discharge conveyor 18 located on the downstream side of the can body 2. The air supply fan 21 is rotated by a motor 23 with an inverter so that air outside the can body 2 is taken into the can body 2. And the exhaust duct 25 which provided the exhaust fan 24 in the upstream upper direction of the conveyance conveyor 3 located in the upstream of the can body 2 is arrange | positioned, and when the exhaust fan 24 is rotated by the motor 26 with an inverter, can The air in the body 2 is exhausted to the outside of the can body 2. By rotating both the air supply fan 21 and the exhaust fan 24, air is supplied from the air supply duct 22 into the can body 2 and discharged from the exhaust duct 25. That is, the flow of air supplied into the can body 2 is opposite to the conveying direction of the container 20 and flows from the third watering zone 6 having the lowest temperature to the second watering zone 5 and having the highest temperature. It becomes order of the 1st watering zone 4. The rotation speed of the motor 23 that rotates the air supply fan 21 is controlled by an air supply fan controller 27. The air supply fan controller 27 controls the motor 23 according to the detection value of the temperature sensor 28 provided in the third water storage tank 9 to increase or decrease the rotation speed of the air supply fan 21, and to control the amount of air supplied into the can body 2. adjust. The rotation speed of the motor 26 that rotates the exhaust fan 24 is controlled by an exhaust fan controller 29. The exhaust fan controller 29 controls the rotational speed of the motor 26 by a wind speed sensor 30 attached to the inlet 16 of the can body 2 and a wind speed sensor 31 attached to the outlet 19. These wind speed sensors 30 and 31 detect the movement of air. Here, the direction of the air, whether it is supplied to the can 2 or discharged, and the amount of movement can be detected. Is arranged.
[0013]
Moreover, the cooler 1 of a present Example arrange | positions the baffle board 32 from the ceiling of the can body 2 for every 2 rows of the some 3rd watering nozzle 15 in the 3rd watering zone 6 so that FIG. 2 may show. Yes. The baffle plate 32 is for preventing the supplied air from entering the third watering nozzle 15. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the water A sprayed from the jet port 15a adjacent to the third water spray nozzle 15 creates a space A where the water spray does not reach. When the air supplied to the space A passes through, heat is not exchanged with the water spray, so the efficiency is deteriorated. However, by arranging the baffle plate 32, the air supplied can always be brought into contact with the water spray. In addition, arrangement | positioning of the baffle board 32 cannot be restricted to every 2nd row | line | column, You may arrange | position to 1st row | line | column and may arrange | position to all the watering zones.
[0014]
Further, in this embodiment, the particle size of water sprayed from the first water nozzle 13 is made smaller than the particle size of water sprayed from the second water nozzle 14 and the third water nozzle 15. Specifically, the first watering nozzle 13 sprays water with a particle size of 800 microns, and the second watering nozzle 14 and the third watering nozzle 15 spray water with a particle size of 1000 microns.
[0015]
This is because the amount of heat exchange in the first watering zone 4 is reduced by the gas-liquid heat exchange of the second watering zone 5 and the third watering zone 6 through which the air flowing through the can 2 has been passed so far. Yes. Therefore, gas-liquid heat exchange is efficiently performed by reducing the water spray particle size and increasing the contact area with the water spray.
The particle size to be reduced is preferably a value of 300 microns or more and less than 1000 microns. This is because if it is 300 microns or less, the watering nozzle is likely to be clogged.
[0016]
Operation | movement of the cooler 1 which concerns on the above structure is demonstrated.
The containers 20 that have been transported on the supply conveyor 17 are supplied into the can body 2 from the inlet 16 and transported by the transport conveyor 3, and are sequentially 70 ° C. in the first watering zone 4, 50 ° C. in the second watering zone 5, After being sprinkled and cooled at a temperature of 30 ° C. in the third sprinkling zone 6, it is transferred to the discharge conveyor 18 and discharged from the outlet 19 to the outside of the can 2.
[0017]
Therefore, in the cooler 1 of the present embodiment, the air supply fan 21 is rotated to supply air from the air supply duct 22 into the can body 2, and the exhaust fan 24 is rotated to rotate the exhaust body 25 from the exhaust duct 25. By discharging the air supplied to the outside, air blown in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the container 20 is generated in the can body 2 to air-cool the water sprayed from the water spray nozzles 13, 14, 15. .
[0018]
Specifically, the air supply fan 21 and the exhaust fan 24 are controlled so that air at 20 ° C. is supplied and the velocity of the wind flowing in the can 2 is about 1.0 m / s. Although depending on the flow rate and pressure of the spray water sprayed, if the wind speed is too strong, the direction of the water spray is changed and may return to a different water spray zone, so the wind speed is 1.0 m / s to 5.0 m. / S is preferred.
[0019]
The 30 ° C. water spray sprayed from the third water spray nozzle 15 is cooled by air and comes into contact with the container 20, and the question of contacting the container 20 and exchanging heat is also cooled by air and cooled to 30 ° C. Then, it returns to the third water tank 9. The air heated to about 30 ° C. through the third sprinkling zone 6 is sent to the second sprinkling zone 5, air sprinkled from the second sprinkling nozzle 14 is air-cooled, and returned to the second water storage tank 8. Subsequently, the air heated to about 50 ° C. through the second watering zone 5 is sent to the first watering zone 4, and the water sprayed from the first watering nozzle 13 is air-cooled to raise the temperature to about 70 ° C. Then, it is discharged out of the can body 2 through the exhaust duct 25.
[0020]
Thus, since it blows to the 2nd watering zone 5 and the 1st watering zone 4 with a high temperature in order from the 3rd watering zone 6 with a low temperature in the reverse direction to the conveyance direction of the container 20, the watering of each watering zone The amount of water used for cooling the water tank can be reduced as much as possible.
Furthermore, since the cooling means is air cooling by the air supply fan 21 and the exhaust fan 24, the cost can be kept low.
[0021]
The rotation speed of the air supply fan 21 is controlled by the air supply fan controller 27. The relationship between the temperature of the third water tank 9 and the rotational speed of the motor 23 is stored in the air supply fan controller 27 in advance, and by adjusting the rotational speed of the motor 23 according to the detected value of the temperature sensor 28, The water in the 3rd water tank 9 is kept at 30 degreeC. Note that a damper whose opening / closing amount can be adjusted may be attached to the air supply duct 22, and the opening / closing amount of the damper may be controlled with the rotation speed of the air supply fan 21 fixed.
[0022]
Further, the exhaust fan 24 is controlled by an exhaust fan controller 29. The exhaust fan controller 29 stores the relationship between the detected value from the wind speed sensors 30 and 31 and the rotational speed of the motor 26 in advance, and the rotational speed of the motor 26 is set according to the detected value from the wind speed sensors 30 and 31. I have control. If the detected value of the temperature sensor 28 is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature, the third water tank 9 is cooled by increasing the rotation speed of the air supply fan 21 and increasing the supply amount of air. When the amount of air supplied to the inside increases, the wind speed sensors 30 and 31 detect that the amount of air discharged from the can body 2 increases, and the atmosphere in the can body 2 leaks outside, and the can The balance between air supply and exhaust is maintained so as not to disturb the atmosphere outside the body 2. The wind speed sensors 30 and 31 are not necessarily arranged at both the inlet 16 and the outlet 19 of the can 2, and only the inlet 16 may be used. It is also possible to control the rotational speed of the exhaust fan 24 in synchronism with fluctuations in the rotational speed of the air supply fan 21 without providing a wind speed sensor.
[0023]

The first watering zone 104 ′ is a sterilization zone for sterilizing the container 120, and the second to fourth watering zones 104, 105, and 106 are cooling zones for cooling the container 120. Under the watering zones 104 ′, 104, 105, 106 are water storage tanks (a first water storage tank 107 ′, a second water storage tank 107, a third water storage tank 108, and a fourth water storage tank 109 in this order from the upstream side). And pumps (first pump 110 ′, second pump 110, third pump 111, and fourth pump 112), and a plurality of rows of watering nozzles (first watering nozzle 113 ′, second watering nozzle), respectively, 113, the 3rd watering nozzle 114, and the 4th watering nozzle 115) are installed.
[0024]
An air supply duct 122 in which an air supply fan 121 is disposed is disposed above the discharge conveyor 118, and the air can be supplied into the can body 102 by rotating the air supply fan 121 with a motor 123. ing.
[0025]
A temperature / humidity sensor 128 is installed in the air supply duct 122 upstream from the position where the air supply fan 121 is disposed, and the temperature and humidity of the supplied air are detected to send data to the air supply fan controller 127. sending.
[0026]
The air supply fan controller 127 stores the relationship between the temperature and humidity of the air supplied in advance and the rotational speed of the motor 123, and controls the rotational speed of the motor 123 according to the detected value of the temperature / humidity sensor 128. Then, the amount of air supplied into the can body 102 is adjusted.
Instead of detecting both temperature and humidity, only the temperature may be detected and controlled.
[0027]
Further, an exhaust duct 125 in which an exhaust fan 124 is disposed is disposed on the upper upstream side of the second watering zone 104, and the air in the can body 102 is exhausted by rotating the exhaust fan 124 with a motor 126. It is like that.
[0028]
The motor 126 that rotates the exhaust fan 124 is controlled in rotational speed by an exhaust fan controller 129. The rotational speed of the motor 126 is controlled by a wind speed sensor 130 having an exhaust fan controller 129 attached to the inlet 116 of the can body 102 and a wind speed sensor 131 attached to the outlet 119.
[0029]
A partition plate 140 is attached to the boundary between the first watering zone 104 ′ and the second watering zone 104 in the can body 102. The partition plate 140 is disposed between the upper partition plate 142 extending from the ceiling of the can body 102 to a position where it does not interfere with the container 120, and the transport side 103a and the return side 103b of the transport conveyor 103 via the side plate of the can body 102. It is composed of a middle partition plate 144 and a lower partition plate 146 that is attached to the first water storage tank 107 ′ and extends to the return side 103 a of the transport conveyor 103, and prevents the atmosphere in the sterilization zone and the cooling zone from going back and forth. The atmosphere of the sterilization zone is not exhausted. The middle partition plate 144 may be attached via a support member of the conveyor 103.
[0030]
Above the exhaust duct 125, a condensing device 150 is disposed as energy recovery means. This is to recover the water and heat contained in the air by coming into contact with the exhausted air. In this embodiment, the recovered water is sent to a storage tank (not shown).
[0031]
The operation of the past cooler 101 according to the above configuration will be described.
The container 120 that has been supplied into the can body 102 is transported by the transport conveyor 103 and sprinkled at 80 ° C. while being transported through the first sprinkling zone 104 ′ to be sterilized. Subsequently, after being sprayed and cooled at a temperature of 70 ° C. in the second sprinkling zone 104, 50 ° C. in the third sprinkling zone 105, and 30 ° C. in the fourth sprinkling zone 106, it is transferred to the discharge conveyor 118, and outside the can body 102.

Since the partition plate 140 is disposed at the boundary between the sterilization zone and the cooling zone, it is possible to prevent the exhaust fan 124 from exhausting the atmosphere of the sterilization zone as much as possible, and the inside of the can body 102 without disturbing the atmosphere of the sterilization zone. Blast can be generated.
[0033]
Since the air exhausted by the exhaust fan 124 exchanges heat with water spray in the can 102, it is like steam that contains a lot of moisture and heat, so that it contacts the condenser 150 provided in the exhaust duct 125. By doing so, moisture and heat are collected and sent into a storage tank (not shown), and can be reused as energy of another device that uses water and heat.
[0034]
Moreover, in this past cooler 101, since the temperature / humidity sensor 128 is attached upstream of the position where the air supply fan 121 of the air supply duct 122 is disposed, and the temperature and humidity of the supplied air are detected, Even if the temperature or humidity of the supplied air changes due to seasonal changes, the atmosphere in the can 102 can be kept constant throughout the year.
[0035]
Next, a container processing apparatus (this example is a cooler) according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the cooler 201 according to the third embodiment, three watering zones are provided inside the can body 202, and the first watering zone on the upstream side (left side in FIG. 5) along the conveying direction of the conveying conveyor 203.

[0036]
Under each watering zone 204, 205, 206, there are a water storage tank (first water storage tank 207, second water storage tank 208, and third water storage tank 209 in order from the upstream side) and a pump (first pump 210, second pump). 211 and the third pump 212) and a plurality of rows of watering nozzles (a first watering nozzle 213, a second watering nozzle 214, and a third watering nozzle 215) are respectively installed on the upper part.
[0037]
In addition, an air supply duct 222 provided with an air supply fan 221 is disposed above the discharge conveyor 218 located on the downstream side of the can body 202, and on the upstream side of the transport conveyor 203 located on the upstream side of the can body 202. By disposing the exhaust duct 225 provided with the exhaust fan 224, air blowing in the direction opposite to the conveying direction of the container 220 is generated in the can body 202. The above configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment.
[0038]
Accordingly, in the cooler 201 of the third embodiment, the suction port 222a of the air supply duct 222 is taken out of the building 270, and the outside air is supplied into the can body 202.

Do. At this time, since the outside air is supplied, toxic gases such as dust and dust contained in the outside air such as microparticles and sulfurous acid gas are closest to the air supply duct 222 due to gas-liquid contact in the can body 202. Although a large amount is mixed into the third water tank 209, the water in the third water tank 209 does not overflow into the first and second water tanks 207 and 208 arranged on the upstream side, so that the water quality may deteriorate. The water in the water tank 209 is not sent to other water tanks. Furthermore, since it becomes the structure which overflows from the 2nd water storage tank 208 at any time, it can prevent that deterioration of water quality advances.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
