FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a connection with the first row bottle conveyor 6a for the right inlet / turn conveyor 3, for example, and FIG. 5 is a side view of the same.
In FIGS. 4 and 5, the right 90 ° turn guides 8a1 and 8a2 (not shown) move from the right inlet / turn conveyor 3 to the first row bottle conveyor 6a and move by the first row bottle conveyor 6a. . This means that the transfer from the right inlet / turn conveyor 3 to the second row bottle conveyor 6b to the ninth row bottle conveyor 6i and the second row bottle conveyor 6b to the eighth row bottle conveyor 6h from the right inlet / turn conveyor. Connection to 3
1st row bottle conveyor 6a to 9th row bottle conveyor 6i
From the left turn / exit conveyor 5 to the second row bottle conveyor 6b.
The same applies to the transfer structure to the eighth row bottle conveyor 6h.

[0015] Since the bottle conveyor is constructed as described above, the right inlet and the inlet 2 of the turn conveyor 3 are provided as follows.
For example, a high-temperature sterilized plastic bottle 7 is supplied,
This is transferred from the right inlet / turn conveyor 3 to the first row bottle conveyor 6a and from the first row bottle conveyor 6a to the second row bottle conveyor 6b using the left turn / outlet conveyor 5; In the same manner, the vehicle is moved by the transfer, and finally, the ninth-row bottle conveyor 6i is connected to the left turn / exit portion conveyor 5 to be sent out.

The water supply branch pipe 11 is connected to the first row bottle conveyor 6.
a, and water spray nozzles 12 are attached to the lower surface of the water supply branch pipe 11 at required intervals, and inside the cooler room 1 the inside of the right inlet / turn conveyor 3 and the left turn / outlet conveyor. The right water main pipe 13a and the left water main pipe 13b, which are arranged inside the water supply pipe 5, are connected to the water supply branch pipe
1 are connected so that water can be supplied. Right water main 1
The 3a and the left water supply main pipe 13b communicate with the first water tank 16 by the first circulating water supply pump 15 via the flexible relay water supply pipes 14a and 14b. The shower water from the watering nozzle 12 is collected and returned to the first water tank 16. In order to uniformly discharge water from the watering nozzle 12, a second circulation water supply pump 17 is arranged, and water is supplied to the right water supply main pipe 13a and the left water supply main pipe 13b via flexible relay water supply pipes 18a and 18b communicating therewith. ing. The second circulating water supply pump 17 communicates with the second water tank 19, and the shower water is also collected and returned to the second water tank 19. The first water tank 16 and the second water tank 19 may communicate with each other. Shower water uses fresh water and fresh water recovered water.

The right water main 13a, the left water main 1
In order to raise and lower the watering nozzle frame 20 constituted by the water supply branch pipe 3b and the water supply branch pipe 11 by the capacity of the high-temperature plastic bottle 7, the rotating shafts 21a and 21b are arranged on the upper left and right sides of the front wall plate 1.
a and a rear wall plate 1b, and a chain is attached to the chain wall. A chain wheel 22 is attached to the front and rear, and one end of the chain 23 is fixed to the chain wheel 22, and the sprinkling nozzle frame 20 is attached to the lower end of the chain 23. Attached. Therefore, when the rotating shafts 21a and 21b are rotated by a required angle by the electric motor 24, the chain 23 is raised and lowered, and the watering nozzle frame 2
Move up and down 0. In FIG. 6, the watering nozzle 1 indicated by a solid line
2 is an ascending position;
Is a lowered position. Reference numeral 25 denotes a connecting shaft that connects and rotates the rotating shaft 21a and the rotating shaft 21b.

The water spray nozzle 12 is designed so that when the water spray nozzle is devised to form a water film, the water spray nozzle 12 does not rebound and does not catch on the cap.

[0019]

Effects of the Invention bottle coolers of this invention is to restrict the movement position of the bottle the bottle conveyor as a single column, the conveyor conveying repeating U-turn at the machine end portions, to not hit shower water directly to the cap portion I was able to do it.

Since the height differs depending on the type of the bottle, it can be easily handled by moving the watering nozzle up and down.

Further, since the shower water is formed into a water film and sprinkled on the bottle, the water does not splash from the bottle and does not fall on the cap portion.

[0022] The bottle is sent transportable repeated U-turn in the body
In this case, the shower cooling is performed, so that the heat radiation efficiency from the bottle is good, and the time required for cooling is shorter than that of the conventional apparatus.

Since the bottles are conveyed by a single-row conveyor at both the entrance and the exit of the main body, equipment such as a single-row device for the bottles at the outlet side is not required as compared with the conventional random supply and discharge bottle system, so that the conveyor is not multi-rowed. This allows for significant space and cost savings.

[0024] From the above, it is possible to not take a shower water to <br/> Ri cap by the bottle coolers of the present invention,
It can be shipped in a sanitary manner, and contributes to cost reduction by increasing the cooling efficiency.
