Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle that manufactures a PET bottle filled with purified water. In particular, the present invention relates to a PET bottle manufacturing vehicle that can purify water by reverse osmosis membrane water purification on the spot in the event of a disaster, and can also mold and bottling PET bottles to provide them.

If the water supply is damaged during a disaster such as an earthquake or storm and flood damage, it is important to secure drinking water for people to live. Conventionally, disaster tanks have been proposed for such disaster countermeasures. The disaster tank is to install a large-capacity water storage tank in the bypass pipeline of the water supply pipe route, and if the water pipe is damaged, the water stored in this water storage tank is supplied as drinking water. (See Patent Document 1).

However, the earthquake disaster tank is often buried underground due to the space for installation, and there is a problem that the construction cost is high. In addition, since the installation location is far away, if the road or the like is damaged in the event of a disaster and a traffic obstruction occurs, the water supply vehicle becomes impassable and it becomes difficult to supply water to the vicinity.

Under these circumstances, a mobile water purification device has been proposed. Patent Document 1 discloses a water purification device that uses river water or pool water as raw water and purifies it with a back-permeable membrane. This water purification device (emergency mobile water purification device) is equipped with a water supply hose, an intake pump and a reverse osmosis membrane module, and the reverse osmosis membrane module has a pressurizing pump that pumps raw water via a safety filter. It is provided. This water purification device includes a drive device for driving an intake pump and a pressure pump, and a water supply port for purified water. Each of these elements (water supply pump, reverse osmosis membrane module, etc.) is mounted on the mobile mobile trolley. According to this mobile mobile trolley, it is possible to move in the event of a disaster, purify water, and secure drinking water.

Further, Patent Document 2 also proposes a movable water purification unit. The water purification unit disclosed in Patent Document 2 is shown in FIG. The water purification unit 1000 shown in FIG. 1 includes a water purification means 1100, an engine generator (not shown), and a container 1300 for accommodating the water purification means 1100 and the engine generator. The water purification means 1100 includes an intake pump (not shown) for taking in raw water, a raw water tank 1200 for storing raw water, a purification device 1500 for purifying raw water, and a septic tank 1700 for storing purified water. Since the water purification unit 1000 can be transported and set at an arbitrary location, purified water can be supplied at an evacuation site in the event of a disaster.

In addition, Patent Document 3 proposes a fire engine capable of continuously supplying a large amount of drinking water. The fire engine disclosed in Patent Document 3 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The fire engine 2000 shown in FIG. 2 includes a cabin 2100 equipped with a driver's seat 2150, a chassis (body) 2200, and rear wheels 2300 and front wheels 2350. The chassis 2200 is equipped with an engine (not shown), which can drive the rear wheels 2300 (or front wheels 2350). A loading platform (installation portion) 2400 is provided on the chassis 2200. A water cannon 2440 is installed above the loading platform 2400. In addition, a portable injection means 2450 is disposed behind the loading platform 2400.

In this fire engine 2000, drinking water can be produced by filtering with a water purification device that purifies water for discharge. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the fire engine 2000 is provided with a water purification device 2500, a water pump 2600, and a water discharge device 2700. Here, water (raw water) is sucked up from the water source 2900 by the water pump (water pump) 2600 via the water intake means 2460. Further, water may be sucked up from the fire hydrant 2910. Then, the flow path switching means 2810 can switch to the water purification device 2500 or the water discharge device 2700. The water purification operation is performed while being controlled by the operation control unit 2800, and the fresh water (drinking water) filtered by the water purification device 2500 can be taken out from the faucet 2490.

However, the above-mentioned background technology has the following problems. Both technologies can move in the event of a disaster and purify water on the spot to generate fresh water, but no consideration is given to what happens after the fresh water is generated. Specifically, if fresh water (drinking water) is made using the technologies of Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is necessary to line up with a bucket or plastic tank to get fresh water, but for that, a long line at the time of a disaster is required. The condition is that the person has the physical strength and time to wait, and the person who can change the container (bucket, tank) containing water. For example, in the case of sick and injured people, many people cannot line up in the line, which makes it extremely difficult to obtain water. Especially in the event of a disaster, the difficulty will increase. Also, for women and children, even if they can line up, it is difficult to bring a container of water to their home (or shelter). Furthermore, if the operating hours of the water purification unit 1000 or the fire engine 2000 are fixed, it is necessary not only to wait in line for water supply but also to go to the place at the fixed time.

Even if water can be supplied by the water purification unit 1000 or the fire engine 2000, there are further problems as follows. Sanitation is poor in the event of a disaster, so if a container (bucket, tank) is contaminated with bacteria, viruses or harmful substances (toxic metals, etc.), the person who drank the water in that container is likely to get sick. If it is the cause of the infectious disease, it will also damage the people around it.

In the event of a disaster, the inventor of the present application has diligently studied a water supply method in which the person affected by the disaster can receive water without any trouble and the satellite is fully considered. The method that the inventor of the present application came up with is to bring a bottled PET bottle (a PET bottle containing fresh water) to a disaster area (a place where water is insufficient), or to purify water in a PET bottle on the spot (fresh water). ) Was to be bottled and supplied. PET bottles containing fresh water are convenient to carry, so there is no need to wait for water supply in containers (buckets, plastic tanks), and they are hygienic because they are properly capped.

However, in order to bring a bottled PET bottle to a disaster area, it will take time to bring it to the disaster area after bottling at the factory, and if the PET bottle containing fresh water disappears on the spot, it will take time. For the time being (at least until it is shipped from the factory), it cannot be refilled with water. Of course, it also depends greatly on the road conditions from the factory to the time of the disaster.

The method of purifying raw water on the spot, bottling it into PET bottles, and supplying the PET bottles depends on the inventory of empty PET bottles, although there are virtually no restrictions on the supply of purified water (fresh water supply). There is a problem that it will be stored. That is, since PET bottles take up a lot of space, even if empty PET bottles are packed in cardboard and loaded into a car and brought in a large number, if there are many people in the disaster area, they will soon disappear. Therefore, even if the water purification device can generate fresh water, the water supply work will be interrupted until an empty PET bottle is replenished. And unlike normal times, in the event of a disaster, there is also the difficulty of manufacturing empty PET bottles at the factory and delivering them to the disaster site, which also depends on road conditions as well as production capacity.

In the midst of such a concept, the inventor of the present application enthusiastically considered the idea of rushing to a disaster site or evacuation site by car, making a PET bottle at that location, and even bottling. I came up with the idea and completed the present invention.

In the configuration of the present embodiment, the seal 98d can be attached to the surface of the container portion 98 of the PET bottle 99. Depending on the conditions, the label 98c and the seal 98d may not be formed.

In the configuration of the present embodiment, the container for filling the purified water may be a container other than the PET bottle 90 (for example, a resin bottle), but it should be light, durable, flexible, and have a slight dent. For example, it is preferable to use a PET bottle as a container because the advantage of the PET bottle having the property of returning to its original state is great.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram for briefly explaining the configuration of the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the water purification / bottle molding / filling process (system) in the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment will be described.

First, the raw water is sent to the raw water tank 23 by the water pump 21 (arrow 81). Then, raw water is sent from the raw water tank 23 to the water purification device (reverse osmosis membrane water purification device) 25 (arrow 82). This raw water can be filtered by a filter or the like before being sent to the water purification device 25. For example, the first filter that removes iron rust, dust, and sand contained in raw water, the second filter that is placed downstream of the first filter and removes iron rust and dust, and the second filter that is placed downstream of the second filter, chlorine. A third filter or the like for removing odors can be provided.

Next, water is purified by the water purification device (reverse osmosis membrane water purification device) 25. Here, the water purification device 25 of the present embodiment includes a reverse osmosis membrane module that separates raw water into a membrane to generate permeated water and concentrated water. Then, the reverse osmosis membrane water purification apparatus 25 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 16.

First, a reverse osmosis (RO) and a reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane) will be described. FIG. 12A is a diagram showing an osmosis phenomenon. FIG. 12A shows a structure in which the fresh water 101 in the container 111 and the salt-containing liquid (salt water) 102 in the container 112 are brought into contact with each other via the semipermeable membrane 105. The semipermeable membrane 105 is a membrane that allows water molecules to pass through and impurities to pass through. In the structure shown in FIG. 12 (a), the difference in osmotic pressure between the fresh water 101 and the salt water 102 causes water to escape from the low concentration side to the high concentration side by itself, as shown by the arrow 110. This is the osmosis phenomenon.

FIG. 12B is a diagram showing a phenomenon of reverse osmosis (RO). As shown in FIG. 12 (b), when a pressure 120 is applied to the salt water 102 in the container 112, only water molecules pass through the semipermeable membrane 105 from the high concentration side to the low concentration side (arrows 121 and 122). .. That is, by reversing the permeation phenomenon of FIG. 12A, reverse osmosis can be caused and drinking water (reverse osmosis water, RO water) can be generated from the salt water 102 (arrow 123).

FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing a reverse osmosis membrane module (unit including a reverse osmosis membrane) 200 of the present embodiment. In the reverse osmosis membrane module 200, a pressure equal to or higher than the osmotic pressure is applied to the reverse osmosis membrane 105 in order to separate water 201 and impurities (202 to 204).

In the structure shown in FIG. 13, the pressurized raw water 102 is put into the raw water supply port 210 of the reverse osmosis membrane module 200 (arrow 210a). Impurities (202 to 204) are mixed in the pressurized raw water 102 together with the water molecule 201. Impurities include cations (eg, Ca2 +, Mg2 +), viruses 202, environmental hormones 203, heavy metals (metal ions such as iron ions and manganese ions) 204 and the like. The pressurized raw water 102 is filtered by passing through the reverse osmosis membrane 105 (reverse osmosis phenomenon) to become purified water (RO water). The purified water (RO water) is derived from the permeation water port 220 (arrow 220a). On the other hand, the pressurized raw water 102 that did not permeate the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is concentrated. The concentrated water (water enriched with salts and impurities, or brine) is continuously discharged from the concentrated water port 230 (arrow 230a).

Although it varies greatly depending on the water recovery rate, water temperature, and water quality, pressurization with a pump is required because pressurization of at least 5 atm is required for reverse osmosis, and tap water pressure alone is insufficient. Is required. Further, the pore diameter of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is approximately 2 nanometers or less, which means that the pore diameter of the ultrafiltration membrane is also small. The pore size of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 in this embodiment may be, for example, 0.2 nanometer.

As shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b), the particle size of the bacterium 202a is about 0.2 to 1 micron, and the particle size of the virus 202b is 0.02 to 0.4 micron. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), the pore diameter of the pore 105a of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is about 0.0001 micron. Therefore, as long as the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is not broken, the bacteria 202a and the virus 202b do not pass through the reverse osmosis membrane 105, and filtration can be performed.

In addition, it is difficult for sodium ions (one of which is 0.12 to 0.14 nanometers) having the same size as an oxygen atom to pass through the reverse osmosis membrane 105 because of water molecules around the ions. This is because it behaves as if the apparent size has increased from several times to a dozen times by coordination. The presence of water molecules adhering to the film surface also acts to apparently reduce the pores. As a result, purified water (RO water) can be generated.

FIG. 15 shows an example of the reverse osmosis membrane module 200. FIG. 16 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the periphery of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 of the reverse osmosis membrane module 200 in an enlarged manner. The reverse osmosis membrane module 200 of the present embodiment has a cylindrical shape (or a cylindrical shape). The reverse osmosis membrane module 200 has a structure in which the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is laminated. The gap between the reverse osmosis membrane 105 is secured by the spacer 109, and the region (layer) on one side of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 allows the pressurized raw water (for example, unpurified water or tap water) to pass through. Channel 102 to be used. The region (layer) on the other side of the reverse osmosis membrane 105 becomes a pure water permeation channel (RO water permeation channel) 101.

A surface cover layer 290 is provided on the surface of the reverse osmosis membrane module 200. Further, the RO water flowing through the pure water permeation channel 101 in the reverse osmosis membrane module 200 is collected at the permeation port 220 and led out from the permeation port 220 (arrow 220a). On the other hand, the water flowing through the channel 102 through which the pressurized raw water passes becomes concentrated water and is discharged as shown by arrow 230a. In the example shown in FIG. 15, the cylindrical reverse osmosis membrane module 200 is shown, but the basic principle is the same for those having other shapes (for example, those having a rectangular laminated structure).

Purifying water using the reverse osmosis membrane water purification device 25 (reverse osmosis membrane module 200) of the present embodiment has the following merits. First, RO water (water generated by a reverse osmosis membrane) has the advantage of being able to reliably remove problematic harmful substances. Examples of the type of water purifier (water purifier) include an alkaline ionized water device, a magnetic activator, activated carbon, a hollow yarn, a distilled water device, and a reverse osmosis membrane water purifier. Hazardous substances include arsenic, lead, cadmium, bacteria, viruses, total trihalomethanes, dioxins, endocrine disrupters, crypto bacteria, and radioactive substances, but all of these can be removed only by reverse osmosis membrane water purifiers. be. Next to the reverse osmosis membrane water purification device, the distilled water device can remove many harmful substances, but it cannot remove environmental hormones, and total trihalomethane, dioxin, and cryptobacteria can only be removed conditionally. Therefore, by generating purified water from the reverse osmosis membrane water purifying device 25, it is possible to provide safe water even in a disaster area.

Then, as shown in FIG. 11, the purified water (fresh water, RO water) generated by the reverse osmosis membrane water purification apparatus 25 is supplied to the bottling apparatus 35 together with the PET bottle 90 produced by the bottle molding apparatus 31 (arrows). 83, arrow 84). In the bottling device 35, the PET bottle 90 is filled with purified water (RO water) and then capped with a cap 92. In this way, a capped purified water-filled PET bottle 99 is provided (arrow 85).

Next, a method of manufacturing the purified water-filled PET bottle 99 using the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. FIG. 17 is a flowchart for explaining a method for manufacturing a purified water-filled PET bottle 99. FIG. 18 schematically shows the configuration of the bottle molding / filling device (bottle molding / filling system) 30 of the present embodiment.

Since FIGS. 17 and 18 also show the labeling process / equipment after the completion of the purified water-filled PET bottle 99, those can be omitted depending on the situation / conditions of the evacuation site at the time of a disaster. .. In addition, each of the devices shown in FIG. 18 is exemplary and may be different from those of these structures, and each device shown in FIG. In the case of mounting on the bottom surface), it is also possible to mount the containers 16 separately in two (or a plurality) units to execute the process (water purification / molding / filling process or system) of the present embodiment.

First, as shown in FIG. 17, the water pump 21 is operated to suck up the raw water (step S100), and then the raw water is stored in the raw water tank 23. Subsequently, the reverse osmosis membrane water purification device 25 is used to execute the reverse osmosis membrane water purification device (step S200). Next, in parallel with the water purification step, the preform 91 is supplied (step S300), and the PET bottle 90 is molded by the bottle molding device 31 (step S320). Then, the molded PET bottle 90 is filled with purified water (RO water) (step S400). When capping is performed using the cap 92 together with the filling, a capped purified water-filled PET bottle 99 is obtained.

The vehicle 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, a truck of about 2 tons to 10 tons, and each device can be mounted on the loading platform portion 15. As the container 16, for example, a container of 20 feet to 40 feet can be used. According to this embodiment, about 500 to 3000 PET bottles filled with purified water can be manufactured. After that, if the preform 91 and the cap 92 are in stock (or if they are carried and brought), a larger number of purified water-filled PET bottles 99 can be continuously manufactured.

After that, the capped purified water-filled PET bottle 99 is labeled (step S500), and the labeling film is shrunk to form the label 98c. As a result, PET bottle water 99 with a label 98c is obtained. When it is desired to carry a plurality of PET bottles together, it is possible to perform wrapping for bundling a plurality of PET bottles 99 (step S700).

The following will be described with reference to the bottle molding / filling device (bottle molding / filling system) 30 shown in FIG. First, the preform 91 is supplied from the preform feeder 31a to the bottle molding device 31. Next, the molded empty PET bottle 90 is moved by the transport device 95a (for example, a belt conveyor, an air conveyor, etc.) and supplied to the bottling device 35.

In the bottling device 35, the PET bottle 90 is placed on the line toward the filling machine 35b by the PET bottle transport device (rotational moving device) 35a. After that, the PET bottle 90 is filled with purified water by the filling machine 35b, and then the cap 92 is attached to the drinking port 26 of the PET bottle 99 containing the purified water (99a) by the capping device 35c. The cap 92 can be supplied to the capping device 35c by the cap supply device 35e and the cap supply device 35d. As a result, a capped PET bottle 99 filled with purified water is obtained.

After this, it may be executed as necessary, and the capped purified water-filled PET bottle 99 is cleaned with the water removing device 35f (water on the surface of the PET bottle is blown off), and then the labeling film is used with the labeling device 35 g. Is put on the PET bottle 99. Next, the PET bottle 99 is passed through the shrink tunnel 35h to shrink. After cleaning the obtained PET bottle 99 with the label 98c with the water removing device 35i, the wrapping device 35j is used to wrap the plurality of PET bottles 99A to obtain the boxes 99B of the plurality of PET bottles 99. In such a state, it is convenient to carry.

In the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment, the loading platform 15 of the vehicle body frame portion 12 has a water purification device 25, a bottle molding device 31 for producing a PET bottle 90 from a preform 91, and a bottling device for filling the PET bottle 90 with purified water 99a. 35 is provided. Therefore, since the PET bottle 90 can be molded by inflating the preform 91 having a smaller volume than the PET bottle 90, even if the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment is used in the event of a disaster, a large number of PET bottles 90 can be mounted on the spot. Can be filled with purified water 99a. With a PET bottle 99 containing purified water, there is no need to wait in front of a water truck (or water supply station) in the event of a disaster, it can be easily delivered to an evacuation center, and it is hygienic because it is sealed with a cap 92. It is safe and secure. Therefore, it also prevents infectious diseases. Further, the PET bottle 99 containing purified water is easy to store for a long period of time, unlike the water in a bucket or a plastic tank, and it is also easy to use as much as necessary.

Further, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, even if the vehicle 100 is used in the event of a disaster, a large amount of PET bottles 99 containing purified water can be provided on the spot, so that the road condition deteriorates in the event of a disaster (blocking of road destruction). , Accidents, fires, traffic jams, etc.), and clean water (reverse osmosis water (RO water)) 99a without impurities can be supplied. In addition, since purified water can be generated not only from fresh water such as river and pool water but also from seawater, it is possible to easily supply water near the sea.

Next, a more specific configuration example of the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 to 21. FIG. 19 is a top view showing the configuration of the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 20 is a side view showing the configuration of the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment. 21 (a) to 21 (d) are process diagrams for explaining the operation of the region 50 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 19 (and FIG. 20), in the vehicle 100 of the present embodiment, the water purification device 25, the bottle molding device 31, and the bottling device 35b (35) are arranged in the loading platform portion 15. Further, the water purification device 25, the bottle molding device 31, and the bottling device 35 are arranged in the peripheral region of the loading platform portion 15, thereby forming a space (working area) 70 in which the operator can work. Specifically, the water purification device 25 is installed on the rear side (rear side on the left side of the paper) of the side edge portion 16s (near the side panel 16) in the loading platform portion 15. Further, the bottle molding device 31 is installed on the front side of the side edge portion 16s of the loading platform portion 15 (on the front side (cab 10 side) on the left side of the paper surface), and the bottling device 35b (35) is provided on the loading platform portion. It is installed near the center of the side edge portion 16s in No. 15 (near the center on the right side of the paper (between the front side and the rear side).

According to the illustrated configuration example, the operator can work in the work area 70 (70B) of the surface of the floor surface (upper surface) 15a of the loading platform portion 15. Further, since the worker can work in contact with the water purification device 25, the bottle molding device 31, and the bottling device 35, the worker can manufacture the PET bottle 90 (99) while still resting on the loading platform 15. And can operate and repair the manufacturing equipment (25, 31, 35, etc.). Since the work area 70 extends to the rear of the loading platform 15 (rear vehicle or rear door 17), the worker can enter and exit from the rear (rear door) 17 of the vehicle and enter the work area 70 (70A) from there. It is convenient to be able to proceed.

A raw water tank 23 is connected to the water purification device 25 of the present embodiment. In the illustrated configuration example, the high-pressure pump 21a (21) is arranged below the raw water tank 23. The high pressure pump 21a is connected to the low pressure pump 21b through the pipe 29h. A raw water supply hose 40 is connected to the low-pressure pump 21b, and a dust net 41 is provided at the tip of the raw water hose 40. By operating the pump 21b (21), raw water from the water source can be put into the raw water tank 23 through the raw water supply hose 40.

An activated carbon tank 42 (activated carbon filter or first filter) is connected to the raw water tank 23 through a pipe 29b. Further, a pre-filter 43 (or a second filter) is connected to the activated carbon tank 42 through a pipe 29c. A water purification device (reverse osmosis membrane water purification device) 25 is connected to the pre-filter 43 through a pipe 29c. The reverse osmosis membrane water purification device 25 includes a reverse osmosis membrane module (unit including a reverse osmosis membrane) 200. The water (RO water) purified by the water purification device (reverse osmosis membrane water purification device) 25 is stored in the water purification tank (RO water tank) 27 through the pipe 29e. As the filter, a sand filter or the like other than this may be adopted, or a filter other than the above may be used.

Further, the waste water (concentrated water) generated in the water purification device (reverse osmosis membrane water purification device) 25 is sent to the manufacturing device (here, the bottle molding device 31) through the pipe 29f, and the device (bottle molding device 31) is sent. ) Is used as cooling water. In particular, in the bottle molding apparatus 31, since the preform 91 is heated and expanded to form the PET bottle 90, it is convenient to use water for disposal (concentrated water) for cooling as the cooling medium thereof. .. In the configuration of the present embodiment, the pipe 29f through which the concentrated water (cooling water) is passed is a ceiling pipe in consideration of effective use of space, but a floor pipe (or an underfloor pipe) may be used. The wastewater used as cooling water in the bottle molding apparatus 31 can be discarded through the pipe 29 g.

A preform supply box 51 and a preform supply box 52 are arranged between the water purification device 25 and the bottle molding device 31. In this example, the preform supply box 51 and the preform supply box 52 are arranged adjacent to each other. Further, a compressor 33 is arranged below the preform supply box 51 and / or the preform supply box 52. The preform (91) is replenished in the preform supply box 51. Then, the preform (91) moves from there to the preform supply box 52, and is supplied to the bottle molding device 31 by the preform moving device (here, the preform reversing device) 53.

The bottle molding device 31 of the present embodiment includes a rotary rail (rotary transfer device) 55. The preform 91 is supplied on the rotary rail 55 by the preform moving device 33. Then, the preform 91 is molded into the PET bottle 90 in the PET bottle molding machine (bottle molding apparatus) 57 by the transfer by the rotary rail 55. The molded PET bottle 90 is moved to the transport device (PET bottle transport device) 95a by the PET bottle moving device (here, the PET bottle reversing device) 35a.

The PET bottle 90 placed on the transfer device 95a is sent to the bottling device 35 (filling machine 35b) along the progress of the transfer device (here, the belt conveyor) 95a, and is sent to the filling machine 35b (35). ) Fills with purified water (here, RO water). The filling machine 35b is connected to the water purification tank 27 through a pipe (water purification supply pipe) 29a. Then, the purified water (RO water) in the water purification tank 27 is sent to the filling machine 35b through the purified water supply pipe 29a, and the purified water (RO water) can be filled in the PET bottle 90 by the filling machine 35b. The purified water supply pipe 29a is a ceiling pipe in consideration of effective use of space, but a floor pipe (or an underfloor pipe) may be used.

The PET bottle 99 filled by the bottling device 35 (filling machine 35b) is sent to the capping device (bottle cap tightening device) 35c along the progress of the transport device 95 (or the bottling outlet transport device 97). Then, the cap (92) of the PET bottle 99 filled with purified water is tightened (capped) by the capping device 35c. Next, the capped PET bottle 99 is sent to the water removing device 35f along the progress of the transport device 95 (97), and excess water (water adhering to the outside of the PET bottle 99) is blown off. ..

After that, the PET bottle 99 is sent to the labeling device 35 g along the progress of the transport device 95 (97). Then, in the labeling device 35 g, the labeling film is put on the PET bottle 99. The PET bottle 99 then passes through the shrink tunnel 35h along the progress of the transport device 95 (97), whereby shrinking is performed.

The commercialized PET bottle 99 (filled, capped and shrunk) is sent to the end point 97e of the conveyor 95 (97) along the progress of the conveyor 95 (97). In the configuration of the present embodiment, a work space 70A (work area 70 for collection) for collecting PET bottles is formed around the end point portion 97e of the transport device 95 (97). Therefore, the worker can collect the commercialized PET bottles 99 (completed PET bottles) at the loading platform 15. Alternatively, the PET bottle 99 can be prepared to be distributed outside the vehicle 100.

As shown in FIG. 20, as the transport device 95, a circulation type belt conveyor can be used. It is also possible to arrange the holder 95c of the PET bottle 90 (99) on the surface of the transport device 95. If the PET bottle 90 (99) can be transported without the holder 95c, such a configuration may be used. Further, in the configuration example shown in FIG. 6, the transport device 95a before bottling and the transport device 97 after bottling are shown separately, but as shown in FIG. 20 (FIG. 19), a common transport device (belt conveyor). ) Can be constructed with 95a / 97.

Further, a control panel (electronic control box) 60 for executing the operation of the PET bottle manufacturing apparatus (100) of the present embodiment is located between the raw water tank 23 and the water purification tank 27 (and above the filter 42 (43)). positioned. Since the operation surface of the control panel (electronic control box) 60 faces the work area 70 side (center side in the container), there is an advantage that the operator can easily perform the operation in the loading platform portion 15.

21 (a) to 21 (d) show the operation of the PET bottle moving device (PET bottle reversing device) 35a in the area 50 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 21A, the PET bottle reversing device 35a has a rod portion 61 that grips and rotates the PET bottle 90 at the tip 61a (arrow 67), and an extension support that supports the rod portion 61 and extends vertically. It is composed of a portion 62 and a base portion (fixed portion) 63 that fixes the extension support portion 60 and serves as a base for the floor portion (floor surface) 65.

First, as shown in FIG. 21A, the PET bottle reversing device 35a grabs the PET bottle 99, rotates it, and moves it to the opposite side. Specifically, the PET bottle 99 on the rotating rail 55 of the bottle molding device 31 is grasped, and while being inverted, the PET bottle 99 is moved to the opposite side of the transport device 95a.

Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), the PET bottle 99 is rotated (reversed) to the horizontal line 69a, and then, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the horizontal line 69a is held while holding the PET bottle 99. Lower to the lower horizon 69b (arrow 68). Therefore, the PET bottle 99 is placed in the holder 95c (or on the surface of the transport device 95a). After that, as shown in FIG. 21D, the tip 61a of the rod portion 61 is separated so that the PET bottle 99 placed on the holder 95c advances along the progress of the transport device 95a.

In this way, the PET bottle 90 can be moved from the bottle molding device 31 to the transfer device 95a. Not limited to this method, other methods may be adopted.

In the configuration example (100) shown in FIG. 19, the water purification device 25, the bottle molding device 31, the bottling device 35b (35), and other devices (23, 33, 51, 52, 95a, etc.) are also included in the work area 70. It is located in the outer peripheral area. Therefore, the worker can easily work in the loading platform 15 (15a). Specifically, each manufacturing apparatus has a so-called U-shape, and the open portion in the U-shape is an example of arrangement facing the rear door 17 side. In other words, in the loading platform portion 15 (15a), the rear door 17 side is opened, and the devices are arranged on both sides (16s) and the cab 10 side (driver's seat 10a side). Further, since the work area 70 extends to the rear door 17, it is easy to create an open space by opening the rear door 17, which is also convenient from the viewpoint of ease of work.

In the vehicle 100 shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, a water purification device 25 equipped with three reverse osmosis membrane modules 200 is used, and purified water (RO water) can be generated in 320 liters / hour. Then, a 2-liter PET bottle (99) can be produced in 250 bottles / hour. With this production volume, it is possible to adequately respond even in the event of a disaster. In addition, only a small preform 91 is prepared in advance, and a large amount of purified water (RO water) is generated wherever the hose 40 reaches the raw water, and it is clean and safe in a sealed state. -It is possible to provide a large amount of stable PET bottles 99.

Further, the configuration of the present embodiment (vehicle 100 shown in FIG. 19) can be modified to the configuration shown in FIG. 22. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 22, the extension conveyor (extension portion) 75 is connected to the end point portion (97e) of the transport device 95 (97). The extension portion 75 can be rotated around a support point 76 (arrow 79). Specifically, the extension portion 75 has a transport extension portion 77 (77A, 77B) and can be extended toward the rear portion (rear door) 17 side of the loading platform portion 15 (77A), and the loading platform portion 15 It can be extended to the side edge portion 16s (side panel 16 (16a, 16b) of the container portion) side (77B). The portion of the transport device 95 (97) may be configured to be automatically transported by power (electricity), and the extension portion 75 may be configured to be transported manually.

In particular, in the event of a disaster, the vehicle 100 may not be able to be parked freely, but if the extension portion 75 of the present embodiment is provided, the side edge portion 16s of the loading platform portion 15 (rear door) 17 side of the loading platform portion 15 (rear door) 17 On the side panel 16) side as well, the PET bottle 99 of the product (completed) can be conveniently carried out of the vehicle 100. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 22, the extension portion 75 of the rotation method is shown, but the extension portion 75 of the replacement method may be provided, or the extension portion 75 in two directions (77A / 77B) may be used. It doesn't matter.
