Description

過冷却状態解除装置Supercooled state release device
 本発明は、過冷却状態の飲料をフローズン状態に変化させる過冷却状態解除装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a supercooled state releasing device for changing a supercooled beverage to a frozen state.
 近年、過冷却状態の炭酸飲料が販売されている。この過冷却状態の炭酸飲料は、飲料容器を開栓して一口飲んだ後に再度閉栓し、飲料容器をゆっくりと天地返しすることで、過冷却状態が解除されてフローズン状態に変化させていた。しかし、過冷却状態の炭酸飲料の購入者が上記手順を必ずしも行うとは限らず、炭酸飲料がフローズン状態に変化しないことがあった。そこで、特表2017-531151号公報(特許文献1)に記載されるように、過冷却状態の炭酸飲料が充填された飲料容器の底面に超音波振動を印加することで、過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させる技術が提案されている。 In recent years, supercooled carbonated beverages have been sold. The supercooled carbonated beverage is opened by opening the beverage container, drinking a sip, closing the beverage container again, and then slowly turning the beverage container upside down, thereby canceling the supercooled state and changing to a frozen state. However, the purchaser of the carbonated beverage in the supercooled state does not always perform the above procedure, and the carbonated beverage may not change to the frozen state. Therefore, as described in JP-T-2017-531151 (Patent Document 1), the supercooled state is released by applying ultrasonic vibration to the bottom surface of the beverage container filled with the supercooled carbonated beverage. To change the state to a frozen state.
特表2017-531151号公報JP-T-2017-531151
 上記提案技術においては、飲料容器の底面に超音波振動を印加しているが、飲料容器の底面は中央部分が凹となっているため、底面の周縁部に超音波振動を印加することとなるので振動が分散し、また、上記提案技術において、超音波振動を発生させるために多く用いられているランジュバン型振動子の振動は、その中心部に比して周縁部が弱いことから、過冷却状態の飲料に強い振動を与えることができず、過冷却状態を解除できないおそれがあった。また、過冷却状態の飲料に強い振動を与えることができないため、炭酸飲料よりもフローズン状態になり難い無炭酸飲料に適用することが困難でもあった。 In the above proposed technique, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the bottom surface of the beverage container, but since the bottom surface of the beverage container has a concave central portion, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the peripheral portion of the bottom surface. Therefore, the vibration of the Langevin type vibrator, which is often used to generate ultrasonic vibration in the above-mentioned proposed technology, is weaker at the peripheral portion than at the center portion thereof, so that it is supercooled. A strong vibration could not be given to the beverage in the state, and the supercooled state could not be released. In addition, since strong vibration cannot be given to a beverage in a supercooled state, it has been difficult to apply the present invention to a non-carbonated beverage that is less likely to be in a frozen state than a carbonated beverage.
 そこで、本発明は、無炭酸飲料を含む飲料の過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させる過冷却状態解除装置を提供することを目的とする。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a supercooled state releasing device that releases a supercooled state of a beverage including a non-carbonated beverage and changes the beverage to a frozen state.
 このため、胴部より細い口部を有する容器本体と、容器本体の口部の開口を密閉するキャップと、を備えた飲料容器に充填された飲料の過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させる過冷却状態解除装置は、飲料容器を受容する容器受け部材と、容器受け部材によって受容された飲料容器の口部又はキャップに超音波振動を印加する振動子と、を有している。 For this reason, the supercooled state of the beverage filled in the beverage container provided with the container body having a mouth portion narrower than the body portion and a cap for closing the opening of the mouth portion of the container body is changed to the frozen state. The supercooled state releasing device includes a container receiving member that receives the beverage container, and a vibrator that applies ultrasonic vibration to a mouth portion or a cap of the beverage container received by the container receiving member.
 本発明によれば、無炭酸飲料を含む飲料の過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させることができる。 According to the present invention, the supercooled state of the beverage including the non-carbonated beverage can be released and changed to the frozen state.

And a tapered shoulder 120C that connects the two are integrally molded. The cylindrical shape, the cylindrical shape, and the tapered shape may be such that the main part can be recognized as a cylindrical shape, a cylindrical shape, and a tapered shape at first glance. For example, irregularities, patterns, and the like are formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof. (The shape is the same hereinafter).
 キャップ140は、内周面に雌ねじが形成された円筒形状の円筒部140Aと、円筒部140Aの軸方向の一端を閉塞する円板形状の天面部140Bと、が一体成型されたものである。キャップ140は、円筒部140Aの雌ねじが容器本体120の口部120Bの雄ねじに着脱可能に螺合することによって、容器本体120の開口(飲み口)を開閉可能に閉塞する。 The cap 140 is formed by integrally molding a cylindrical cylindrical portion 140A having a female screw formed on an inner peripheral surface thereof, and a disk-shaped top surface portion 140B for closing one axial end of the cylindrical portion 140A. The cap 140 closes an opening (a drinking spout) of the container main body 120 so that the female screw of the cylindrical part 140A is detachably screwed to the male screw of the mouth part 120B of the container main body 120.
 そして、飲料容器100には、過冷却状態の飲料、即ち、凝固点(氷点)より低温まで冷却された飲料が充填されている。ここで、過冷却状態としては、例えば、凝固点より4℃ほど低温の状態とすることができる。 飲料 The beverage container 100 is filled with a beverage in a supercooled state, that is, a beverage cooled to a temperature lower than the freezing point (freezing point). Here, the supercooled state may be, for example, a state of about 4 ° C. lower than the freezing point.
 過冷却状態解除装置200は、図3に示すように、倒立状態の飲料容器100を受容する容器受け部材220と、倒立状態の飲料容器100に超音波振動を印加する振動子240と、振動子240を受容する振動子受け部材260と、振動子240及び振動子受け部材260を収納する振動子ケース280と、作動スイッチ300と、電子基板320と、電源基板340と、ケーシング360と、を有している。ここで、倒立状態とは、容器本体120の口部120Bが下方に位置する状態、即ち、過冷却状態の飲料が口部120Bに満たされた姿勢を維持した状態を意味する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the supercooled state release device 200 includes a container receiving member 220 that receives the inverted beverage container 100, a vibrator 240 that applies ultrasonic vibration to the inverted beverage container 100, and a vibrator. A vibrator receiving member 260 for receiving the vibrator 240, a vibrator case 280 for housing the vibrator 240 and the vibrator receiving member 260, an operation switch 300, an electronic board 320, a power supply board 340, and a casing 360 are provided. are doing. Here, the inverted state means a state in which the mouth 120B of the container main body 120 is positioned below, that is, a state in which the posture in which the beverage in the supercooled state is filled in the mouth 120B is maintained.
 容器受け部材220は、図4に示すように、円筒形状の小径部220Aと、円筒形状の大径部220Bと、小径部220Aの軸方向の一端と大径部220Bの軸方向の一端とを接続するテーパ形状の肩部220Cと、が一体成型されたものである。小径部220Aは、各種の飲料容器100について容器本体120のネックリング120Dの外径が一定(φ33mm)であることに着目し、ネックリング120Dを挿入して固定可能な内径を有している。大径部220Bは、倒立状態の飲料容器100の下部、即ち、キャップ140が螺合された口部120B及び肩部120Cを挿入可能な内径を有している。肩部220Cは、大径部220Bに挿入された倒立状態の飲料容器100の下部を小径部220Aへと導くガイド機能を発揮する。そして、容器受け部材220は、小径部220Aが下方に位置すると共に大径部220Bが上方に位置した状態で配置される。 As shown in FIG. 4, the container receiving member 220 includes a cylindrical small diameter portion 220A, a cylindrical large diameter portion 220B, and one axial end of the small diameter portion 220A and one axial end of the large diameter portion 220B. The tapered shoulder 220C to be connected is integrally formed. Focusing on the fact that the outer diameter of the neck ring 120D of the container body 120 is constant (φ33 mm) for the various beverage containers 100, the small diameter portion 220A has an inner diameter that allows the neck ring 120D to be inserted and fixed. The large-diameter portion 220B has an inner diameter into which the lower portion of the beverage container 100 in an inverted state, that is, the mouth portion 120B and the shoulder 120C into which the cap 140 is screwed can be inserted. The shoulder 220C has a guide function of guiding the lower part of the inverted beverage container 100 inserted into the large diameter part 220B to the small diameter part 220A. And the container receiving member 220 is arrange | positioned with the small diameter part 220A located below and the large diameter part 220B located above.
 振動子240は、例えば、リング状の圧電素子をボルト及びナットで締め付けて一体化したものであって、人間には聞き取れないほど高い周波数の超音波振動を発生させる。振動子240としては、例えば、ランジュバン型振動子を使用することができる。 The vibrator 240 is, for example, a ring-shaped piezoelectric element integrated by tightening with a bolt and a nut, and generates ultrasonic vibration of a frequency that is inaudible to humans. As the vibrator 240, for example, a Langevin type vibrator can be used.
 振動子受け部材260は、図5に示すように、円筒形状の円筒部260Aと、円筒部260Aの軸方向の一端を閉塞する円板形状の円板部260Bと、円筒部260Aの外周面と円板部260Bの上面との間に位置する4つの補強リブ260Cと、が一体成型されたものである。円筒部260Aは、振動子240のナットを収納しつつその下面を相対変位可能に支持可能な寸法(内径及び外径)を有している。円筒部260Aは、振動子240が所定周波数で振動しているとき、振動子240の振動が伝達されて減衰しないように、振動振幅の節、即ち、振動が弱い部分を支持することが好ましい。円板部260Bは、円筒部260Aより大きな外径を有し、その板面に、振動子240に電力を供給する配線を通すための2つの配線孔260Dが形成されている。補強リブ260Cは、円筒部260Aの中心軸の周りに90°ごとに設けられ、円筒部260Aと円板部260Bとの接合強度を向上させる。また、補強リブ260Cの上端の一部が上方に向かって突出しており、この部分で振動子240の半径方向への変位を抑制している。 As shown in FIG. 5, the vibrator receiving member 260 includes a cylindrical cylindrical portion 260A, a disk-shaped disk portion 260B that closes one axial end of the cylindrical portion 260A, and an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 260A. And four reinforcing ribs 260C located between the upper surface of the disk portion 260B and the upper surface of the disk portion 260B. The cylindrical portion 260A has dimensions (inner diameter and outer diameter) capable of accommodating the nut of the vibrator 240 and supporting the lower surface thereof so as to be relatively displaceable. When the vibrator 240 is vibrating at a predetermined frequency, the cylindrical portion 260A preferably supports a node of vibration amplitude, that is, a portion where vibration is weak, so that the vibration of the vibrator 240 is not transmitted and attenuated. The disk part 260B has an outer diameter larger than the cylindrical part 260A, and has two wiring holes 260D for passing wiring for supplying electric power to the vibrator 240 on the plate surface. The reinforcing rib 260C is provided at every 90 ° around the central axis of the cylindrical portion 260A, and improves the bonding strength between the cylindrical portion 260A and the disk portion 260B. Further, a part of the upper end of the reinforcing rib 260C protrudes upward, and at this part, the displacement of the vibrator 240 in the radial direction is suppressed.
 振動子ケース280は、図6に示すように、有底円筒形状の円筒部280Aと、円筒部280Aの開口に接合される円板形状の円板部280Bと、が一体成型されたものである。円筒部280Aは、開口から所定距離を隔てた状態で振動子240及び振動子受け部材260を軸方向に収納可能な全長及び内径を有している。また、円筒部280Aの内周面の上部には、振動子240の上部外周を弾性支持する弾性リング280Dが取り付けられている。弾性リング280Dとしては、例えば、クロロプレンゴム(CR)を使用することができる。円板部280Bの板面には、その中心軸と同心に、飲料容器100の少なくともキャップ140が貫通可能な貫通孔280Cが形成されている。なお、振動子ケース280は、その内部への振動子240及び振動子受け部材260の収納を可能にすべく、例えば、中心軸を通る面で縦方向に二分割可能になっている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the vibrator case 280 is formed by integrally molding a cylindrical portion 280A having a bottomed cylindrical shape and a disk-shaped disk portion 280B joined to an opening of the cylindrical portion 280A. . The cylindrical portion 280A has an overall length and an inner diameter capable of storing the vibrator 240 and the vibrator receiving member 260 in the axial direction at a predetermined distance from the opening. An elastic ring 280D for elastically supporting the upper outer periphery of the vibrator 240 is attached to the upper part of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 280A. As the elastic ring 280D, for example, chloroprene rubber (CR) can be used. A through hole 280C through which at least the cap 140 of the beverage container 100 can penetrate is formed on the plate surface of the disk portion 280B concentrically with the center axis thereof. In addition, the vibrator case 280 can be vertically divided into two parts, for example, in a plane passing through a central axis so that the vibrator 240 and the vibrator receiving member 260 can be housed therein.
 そして、振動子受け部材260に対して振動子240の下面を相対変位可能に支持させ、これを二分割した振動子ケース280に収納させる。このとき、振動子受け部材260は、振動子ケース280の底面に載置されるが、必要に応じてねじ、接着剤などで部分的に固定してもよい。その後、二分割した振動子ケース280を閉じ、例えば、ねじなどで容易に開かないように固定する。 下面 Then, the lower surface of the vibrator 240 is supported so as to be relatively displaceable with respect to the vibrator receiving member 260, and is stored in the vibrator case 280 divided into two parts. At this time, the vibrator receiving member 260 is placed on the bottom surface of the vibrator case 280, but may be partially fixed with a screw, an adhesive, or the like as necessary. Thereafter, the vibrator case 280 divided into two parts is closed and fixed so as not to be easily opened with, for example, screws.
 作動スイッチ300は、例えば、防水機能を有する押しボタンスイッチである。電子基板320は、各種の電子素子が表面実装された基板であって、作動スイッチ300が押し下げられたときに、振動子240を作動させる。なお、電子基板320は、作動スイッチ300が押し下げられている間だけ振動子240を作動させるか、又は、作動スイッチ300が押し下げられると所定時間だけ振動子240を作動させるように構成されている。電源基板340は、商用電源から電力を受け、これを安定化させて振動子240を作動させるための電力を生成する。 The operation switch 300 is, for example, a push button switch having a waterproof function. The electronic substrate 320 is a substrate on which various electronic elements are surface-mounted, and operates the vibrator 240 when the operation switch 300 is pressed down. The electronic board 320 is configured to operate the vibrator 240 only while the operation switch 300 is pressed down, or to operate the vibrator 240 for a predetermined time when the operation switch 300 is pressed down. The power supply board 340 receives electric power from a commercial power supply, stabilizes the electric power, and generates electric power for operating the vibrator 240.
 ケーシング360は、飲料容器100の販売機などに取り付けられるケース本体362と、ケース本体362の前面に着脱可能に取り付けられるカバー364と、を有している。ここで、ケース本体362に対するカバー364の固定は、例えば、図示しないねじで行うことができる。 The casing 360 has a case main body 362 attached to a vending machine of the beverage container 100, and a cover 364 detachably attached to a front surface of the case main body 362.

 カバー364は、ケース本体362を向く裏面の上方から下方にかけて、倒立状態の飲料容器100の下半分を収納可能な第1の凹部364Aと、電子基板320を収容可能な第2の凹部364Bと、が形成されている。第1の凹部364Aは、ケース本体362の第1の凹部362Aと協働して、倒立状態の飲料容器100の下半分を収納可能にする。第2の凹部364Bは、平面視で電子基板320を収納可能な大きさを有し、その底面に電子基板320を固定するための複数のボス(図示せず)が突出形成されている。 The cover 364 includes a first concave portion 364A that can store the lower half of the inverted beverage container 100 and a second concave portion 364B that can store the electronic substrate 320 from the upper side to the lower side facing the case body 362, Are formed. The first concave portion 364A cooperates with the first concave portion 362A of the case main body 362 to allow the lower half of the inverted beverage container 100 to be stored. The second concave portion 364B has a size capable of storing the electronic substrate 320 in a plan view, and a plurality of bosses (not shown) for fixing the electronic substrate 320 are formed on the bottom surface thereof.
 また、カバー364の裏面の所定箇所には、容器受け部材220及び振動子ケース280をケース本体362に向けて押圧して固定する、例えば、弾性部材からなる押圧材(図示せず)が取り付けられている。さらに、カバー364の下部には、その外方から操作可能な状態で、作動スイッチ300が取り付けられている。 At a predetermined position on the back surface of the cover 364, for example, a pressing member (not shown) made of an elastic member is attached to press and fix the container receiving member 220 and the vibrator case 280 toward the case main body 362. ing. Further, an operation switch 300 is attached to a lower portion of the cover 364 so as to be operable from outside.
 そして、ケーシング360のケース本体362の所定箇所に、容器受け部材220、振動子240及び振動子受け部材260が収納された振動子ケース280、電源基板340などを取り付ける。また、カバー364の所定箇所に、作動スイッチ300、電子基板320などを取り付ける。その後、ケーシング360のケース本体362とカバー364とを接合し、過冷却状態解除装置200の組立が完了する。 (4) At a predetermined position of the case main body 362 of the casing 360, the vibrator case 280 accommodating the container receiving member 220, the vibrator 240 and the vibrator receiving member 260, the power supply board 340, and the like are attached. Further, the operation switch 300, the electronic board 320, and the like are attached to predetermined positions of the cover 364. Thereafter, the case body 362 of the casing 360 and the cover 364 are joined, and the assembly of the supercooled state release device 200 is completed.
 かかる過冷却状態解除装置200によれば、過冷却状態の飲料が充填された飲料容器100を倒立状態にし、その下半分を過冷却状態解除装置200に挿入する。過冷却状態解除装置200に対して飲料容器100を挿入する過程では、容器受け部材220の肩部220Cが下方に向かうにつれて徐々に縮径するテーパ形状をなしているため、飲料容器100のキャップ140が小径部220Aへとガイドされる。そして、飲料容器100のキャップ140が小径部220Aに挿入された状態では、図4に示すように、飲料容器100のネックリング120Dの外周面が小径部220Aの内周面と当接し、容器受け部材220に対する飲料容器100の固定が行われる。なお、飲料容器100のキャップ140の天面部140Bは、容器受け部材220の小径部220Aの下端より下方へと突出し、振動子ケース280に収納された振動子240に接触する。 According to the supercooled state releasing device 200, the beverage container 100 filled with the supercooled beverage is brought into an inverted state, and the lower half thereof is inserted into the supercooled state releasing device 200. In the process of inserting the beverage container 100 into the supercooled state releasing device 200, the shoulder portion 220C of the container receiving member 220 has a tapered shape whose diameter gradually decreases downward, so that the cap 140 of the beverage container 100 Is guided to the small diameter portion 220A. When the cap 140 of the beverage container 100 is inserted into the small-diameter portion 220A, the outer peripheral surface of the neck ring 120D of the beverage container 100 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion 220A as shown in FIG. The fixing of the beverage container 100 to the member 220 is performed. The top surface portion 140B of the cap 140 of the beverage container 100 projects downward from the lower end of the small diameter portion 220A of the container receiving member 220, and comes into contact with the vibrator 240 stored in the vibrator case 280.
 この状態で作動スイッチ300を押し下げると、これを検知した電子基板320は、電源基板340を介して電力を振動子240へと供給する。すると、振動子240は、飲料容器100のキャップ140を介して、その口部120Bに満たされた過冷却状態の飲料に超音波振動を印加する。振動子240から飲料に伝達される超音波振動は、キャップ140という限られた面積を介して伝達されるため、単位面積当たりの振動強度が大きくなり、開栓しなくとも飲料の過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させることができる。また、単位面積当たりの振動強度が大きくなることから、従来技術ではフローズン状態に変化させることが困難であった、過冷却状態の無炭酸飲料をフローズン状態に変化させることもできる。ここで、ランジュバン型振動子の特性として、振動強度は周縁部から中心に向かって強くなることから、飲料容器100の底部に比して中心部に存するキャップ140に対して大きな振動強度を有する超音波振動を印加することができる。 作 動 When the operation switch 300 is pressed down in this state, the electronic board 320 that has detected this operation supplies power to the vibrator 240 via the power supply board 340. Then, the vibrator 240 applies ultrasonic vibration to the beverage in the supercooled state filled in the mouth 120B via the cap 140 of the beverage container 100. Since the ultrasonic vibration transmitted from the vibrator 240 to the beverage is transmitted through the limited area of the cap 140, the vibration intensity per unit area increases, and the supercooled state of the beverage can be changed without opening the bottle. It can be released and changed to the frozen state. In addition, since the vibration intensity per unit area increases, it is possible to change a supercooled non-carbonated beverage to a frozen state, which was difficult to change to a frozen state in the related art. Here, as a characteristic of the Langevin type vibrator, since the vibration intensity increases from the peripheral portion toward the center, the vibration intensity of the Langevin type vibrator having a large vibration intensity with respect to the cap 140 located at the center portion as compared with the bottom portion of the beverage container 100 is increased. Sound wave vibration can be applied.
 振動子240をケーシング360に取り付ける工夫として、振動子240を強固にケーシング360に固定せず、図6に示すように、振動子240の下端を相対変位可能に受容する振動子受け部材260と、振動子240の上部を相対変位可能に受容する弾性リング280Dと、を使用した。即ち、振動子240を強固にケーシング360に固定すると、振動子240によって生成された超音波振動の一部は、固定箇所を介してケーシング360に伝達されてしまい、飲料容器100に印加される超音波振動が弱くなってしまう。そこで、上記のような工夫をすることで、ケーシング360に対する振動子240の変位をある程度許容し、ケーシング360に伝達される超音波振動を低減することで、飲料容器100に印加される超音波振動を極力大きくすることができる。また、振動子240の振幅調整が不要となり、過冷却状態解除装置200の生産性を向上させることもできる。 As a device for attaching the vibrator 240 to the casing 360, as shown in FIG. 6, a vibrator receiving member 260 for receiving the lower end of the vibrator 240 in a relatively displaceable manner without firmly fixing the vibrator 240 to the casing 360, And an elastic ring 280D that receives the upper part of the vibrator 240 so as to be relatively displaceable. That is, when the vibrator 240 is firmly fixed to the casing 360, a part of the ultrasonic vibration generated by the vibrator 240 is transmitted to the casing 360 via the fixing part, and the ultrasonic wave applied to the beverage container 100 The sound wave vibration becomes weak. Therefore, the above-described contrivance allows the displacement of the vibrator 240 with respect to the casing 360 to some extent, and reduces the ultrasonic vibration transmitted to the casing 360, thereby reducing the ultrasonic vibration applied to the beverage container 100. Can be made as large as possible. Further, the amplitude adjustment of the vibrator 240 is not required, and the productivity of the supercooled state release device 200 can be improved.
 振動子240の上面、即ち、飲料容器100のキャップ140と接触する部分に、上方へと向かって突出する、少なくとも1つの凸部を形成するようにしてもよい。この凸部は、キャップ140の天面部140Bより大幅に小さい横断面積を有し、飲料容器100に印加する超音波振動の単位面積当たりの振動強度が大きくなる。この場合、単位面積当たりの振動強度を最大にするには、凸部は1つであることが望ましい。 少 な く と も At least one convex portion projecting upward may be formed on the upper surface of the vibrator 240, that is, on the portion that comes into contact with the cap 140 of the beverage container 100. The projection has a cross-sectional area significantly smaller than the top surface 140B of the cap 140, and the vibration intensity per unit area of the ultrasonic vibration applied to the beverage container 100 increases. In this case, in order to maximize the vibration intensity per unit area, it is desirable that there be one convex portion.
 振動子240の上面に凸部を形成する場合、例えば、凸部を接着剤や両面粘着剤などで固定すると、振動子240の振動や飲料容器100を挿入する衝撃などで、凸部が取れてしまう可能性がある。振動子240の上面の中心に雌ねじを設け、凸部の下方に雄ねじを設けて、これらを螺合させることが考えられるが、ねじの緩みや、振動によって振動子240と凸部とが相対変位して摩擦による発熱が起こり得る。そこで、図7に示すように、平面視で円形又は多角形をなす板材Aの一面(上面)に凸部Bを一体化した部材MBを、振動子240の上面と振動子ケース280の円板部280Bとの間に配置するようにしてもよい。この場合、振動子240によって部材MBの全体が振動し、振動子240と部材MBとが接触して高音が発生する可能性がある。このため、図8に示すように、部材MBの他面(下面)に中心を通る直線状又は中心に位置する点状の凸部Cを更に形成し、振動子240と部材MBとの接触を線接触又は点接触とすることで、この高音が発生することを抑制できる。なお、振動子240の上面に形成する凸部Bとしては、例えば、球、円錐、円柱を切断した形状が考えられる。 When a convex portion is formed on the upper surface of the vibrator 240, for example, if the convex portion is fixed with an adhesive or a double-sided adhesive, the convex portion is removed due to vibration of the vibrator 240 or an impact of inserting the beverage container 100. May be lost. It is conceivable that a female screw is provided at the center of the upper surface of the vibrator 240 and a male screw is provided below the convex portion, and these are screwed together. However, loosening of the screw or vibration causes relative displacement between the vibrator 240 and the convex portion. Then, heat may be generated due to friction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, a member MB in which a convex portion B is integrated on one surface (upper surface) of a plate material A that is circular or polygonal in plan view is combined with the upper surface of the vibrator 240 and the disk of the vibrator case 280. It may be arranged between the unit 280B. In this case, the whole of the member MB is vibrated by the vibrator 240, and the vibrator 240 and the member MB may come into contact with each other to generate a high sound. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 8, a linear or centrally located point-like convex portion C is further formed on the other surface (lower surface) of the member MB to make contact between the vibrator 240 and the member MB. By making line contact or point contact, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of this treble. In addition, as the convex portion B formed on the upper surface of the vibrator 240, for example, a shape obtained by cutting a sphere, a cone, or a column can be considered.
 過冷却状態の飲料が充填された飲料容器100は、完全な倒立状態に限らず、飲料容器100の口部120Bに飲料が満たされた姿勢、例えば、キャップ140が下方に位置する傾斜状態、飲料容器100の軸線が水平面上に延びる横転状態であってもよい。この場合、過冷却状態解除装置200の容器受け部材220は、傾斜状態又は横転状態の飲料容器100を受容するようにすればよい。また、振動子240による超音波振動は、飲料容器100の口部120Bの外周面に形成されたネックリング120Dに印加するようにしてもよい。 The beverage container 100 filled with the beverage in the supercooled state is not limited to the completely inverted state, but the posture in which the mouth 120B of the beverage container 100 is filled with the beverage, for example, the inclined state in which the cap 140 is positioned downward, the beverage The container 100 may be in a rollover state in which the axis extends on a horizontal plane. In this case, the container receiving member 220 of the supercooled state release device 200 may receive the beverage container 100 in the inclined state or the rolled state. The ultrasonic vibration by the vibrator 240 may be applied to a neck ring 120D formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth 120B of the beverage container 100.
 本実施形態においては、過冷却状態解除装置200に対して飲料容器100を倒立状態で挿入し、キャップ140の天面部140Bに超音波振動を印加する構成としたが、キャップ140の円筒部140Aの周面に超音波振動を印加するようにしてもよい。また、飲料容器100を傾斜状態又は横転状態にして超音波振動を印加する場合、構造的にキャップ140の天面部140Bに超音波振動を印加し難ければ、キャップ140の円筒部140Aの周面に超音波振動を印加するようにしてもよい。このような構成を採用する場合、振動子240の振動印加面は、図示したような平面ではなく、徐々に縮径する先細り形状であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, the beverage container 100 is inserted into the supercooled state release device 200 in an inverted state, and the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the top surface portion 140B of the cap 140. Ultrasonic vibration may be applied to the peripheral surface. When the ultrasonic vibration is applied with the beverage container 100 in the inclined state or the rolled state, if it is structurally difficult to apply the ultrasonic vibration to the top surface 140B of the cap 140, the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 140A of the cap 140 may be used. May be applied with ultrasonic vibration. When such a configuration is adopted, the vibration applying surface of the vibrator 240 may be not a flat surface as shown but a tapered shape whose diameter is gradually reduced.
 飲料容器100に充填された飲料の過冷却状態を解除してフローズン状態に変化させる方法として、飲料の販売機に次のような機構を組み込むこともできる。 解除 As a method of releasing the supercooled state of the beverage filled in the beverage container 100 and changing it to the frozen state, the following mechanism can be incorporated in the beverage vending machine.
 第1の機構として、図9に示すように、飲料容器100の収容室から取り出し口までの通路400を鉛直方向に延びる直線状に形成し、取り出し口から所定高さにおいて飲料容器100の落下を一時的に停止する一時停止装置420を取り付ける。一時停止装置420は、飲料容器100の落下を一時的に停止したとき、飲料容器100の自重によって一時停止機能を解除するように構成する。そして、一時停止機能が解除されると、過冷却状態の飲料が充填された飲料容器100は、直線状の通路400を落下して取り出し口へと送り出され、このときの衝撃を飲料に伝え、過冷却状態の飲料をフローズン状態へと変化させる。 As a first mechanism, as shown in FIG. 9, a passage 400 from the storage chamber of the beverage container 100 to the outlet is formed in a straight line extending in the vertical direction, and the drop of the beverage container 100 at a predetermined height from the outlet is determined. A temporary stop device 420 for temporarily stopping is attached. The temporary stop device 420 is configured to release the temporary stop function by the weight of the beverage container 100 when the drop of the beverage container 100 is temporarily stopped. Then, when the pause function is released, the beverage container 100 filled with the supercooled beverage falls down the linear passage 400 and is sent to the outlet, and the impact at this time is transmitted to the beverage, The supercooled beverage is changed to a frozen state.
 第2の機構として、図10に示すように、飲料容器100の収容室から取り出し口までの通路440を蛇行形状、即ち、通路440が延びる方向が左右に屈曲や蛇行する形状に形成する。そして、飲料容器100が屈曲や蛇行する形状の通路440を通過して取り出し口へと送り出されるとき、飲料容器100が通路440を形成する壁に衝突することによって発生する衝撃を飲料に伝え、過冷却状態の飲料をフローズン状態へと変化させる。 As a second mechanism, as shown in FIG. 10, the passage 440 from the storage chamber of the beverage container 100 to the outlet is formed in a meandering shape, that is, a shape in which the direction in which the passage 440 extends is bent or meandered right and left. When the beverage container 100 is sent out to the outlet through the passage 440 having a bent or meandering shape, the shock generated by the collision of the beverage container 100 with the wall forming the passage 440 is transmitted to the beverage, and The beverage in a cooled state is changed to a frozen state.
 第3の機構として、図11に示すように、飲料容器100の収容室から取り出し口までの通路の途中において、例えば、通路形状などを工夫して、飲料容器100を倒立状態から正立状態へと回転させる。そして、飲料容器100が倒立状態から正立状態へと回転するときの攪拌と正立状態で落下したときの衝撃を飲料に伝え、過冷却状態の飲料をフローズン状態へと変化させる。 As a third mechanism, as shown in FIG. 11, in the middle of the passage from the storage chamber of the beverage container 100 to the outlet, for example, the shape of the passage is devised to change the beverage container 100 from the inverted state to the upright state. And rotate. Then, the agitation when the beverage container 100 rotates from the inverted state to the upright state and the impact when the beverage container 100 falls in the upright state are transmitted to the beverage, and the supercooled beverage is changed to the frozen state.
 第4の機構として、図12に示すように、飲料容器100の収容室から取り出し口までの通路の途中に、例えば、飲料容器100の自重を利用して作動するハンマー460を取り付ける。そして、飲料容器100が取り出し口に送り出されるとき、ハンマー460によって飲料容器100の外面を叩いて衝撃を与え、過冷却状態の飲料をフローズン状態に変化させる。 As a fourth mechanism, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, a hammer 460 that operates by using the weight of the beverage container 100 is attached in the middle of the passage from the storage chamber of the beverage container 100 to the outlet. Then, when the beverage container 100 is sent out to the outlet, the outer surface of the beverage container 100 is hit by the hammer 460 to give an impact, and the supercooled beverage is changed to the frozen state.
 第1の機構~第4の機構は、電力を必要としないため、過冷却状態解除装置200が取り付けられる販売機に容易に組み込むことができる。このようにすれば、第1の機構~第4の機構によって飲料がフローズン状態に変化しなくとも、過冷却状態解除装置200によって飲料に超音波振動が印加されるので、これらの相乗効果によってフローズン状態への変化を促進することができる。 た め Since the first to fourth mechanisms do not require electric power, they can be easily incorporated into a vending machine to which the supercooled state release device 200 is attached. With this configuration, even if the beverage does not change to the frozen state by the first to fourth mechanisms, the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the beverage by the supercooled state release device 200, and the frozen effect is generated by a synergistic effect of these. A change to the state can be facilitated.
