　熱電対収容部２３１は、第１蓋部２１とバスケット２３との接続に伴って後記の熱電対５０を内部に受け入れる。熱電対収容部２３１は、円管形状を有しており、その両端部は開口されている。熱電対収容部２３１の基端部は、バスケット本体２３０の第１蓋部２１側の側面に固定されている。熱電対収容部２３１の先端部は、バスケット本体２３０の内部に位置している。 The thermocouple accommodating portion 231 receives the thermocouple 50 described later in the connection with the connection between the first lid portion 21 and the basket 23.

The base end portion of the thermocouple accommodating portion 231 is fixed to the side surface of the basket body 230 on the first lid portion 21 side.

　開閉部２３２は、バスケット本体２３０の上面部に開閉可能に配置されている。作業者は、開閉部２３２を開閉することで、バスケット本体２３０の内部に対して被処理物を出し入れすることができる。なお、開閉部２３２には不図示の開口部が複数形成されていてもよく、バスケット本体２３０の内部と処理空間Ｓとの間での圧媒の流れが可能とされていてもよい。 The opening / closing part 232 is arranged so as to be openable / closable on the upper surface of the basket body 230. By opening and closing the opening / closing unit 232, the operator can put the object to be processed in and out of the inside of the basket body 230.

　図４に示すように、本実施形態では、一対の連結ボルト２１４が一対の孔部２３３に挿入された後、連結ボルト２１４の先端部に不図示のナットが締結されることで、連結ボルト２１４と孔部２３３とが互いに連結される。この結果、第１蓋部２１とバスケット２３とが一体で圧力容器２の容器本体２０に装着可能とされる。したがって、圧力容器２の内部では、第１蓋部２１は、処理空間Ｓ内においてバスケット２３に接続されている。なお、図２では、待機位置Ｑに、複数の蓋ユニット２Ｓ（第１蓋部２１、バスケット２３）が配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, after the pair of connecting bolts 214 are inserted into the pair of holes 233, a nut (not shown) is fastened to the tip of the connecting bolt 214 to fasten the connecting bolt 214. And the hole 233 are connected to each other. As a result, the first lid portion 21 and the basket 23 can be integrally attached to the container body 20 of the pressure vessel 2. Therefore, inside the pressure vessel 2, the first lid portion 21 is connected to the basket 23 in the processing space S. In FIG. 2, a plurality of lid units 2S (first lid portion 21, basket 23) are arranged at the standby position Q.
　更に、ＣＩＰ装置１は、熱電対５０（温度センサ）を有する。熱電対５０は、第１蓋部２１に支持されており、第１蓋部２１が圧力容器２の容器本体２０に装着されることで処理空間Ｓ内に配置される検出部５０Ｓを有し、検出部５０Ｓの温度に応じた出力信号を出力する。 Further, the CIP device 1 has a thermocouple 50 (temperature sensor). The thermocouple 50 is supported by the first lid portion 21, and has a detection portion 50S that is arranged in the processing space S by mounting the first lid portion 21 on the container body 20 of the pressure vessel 2. An output signal corresponding to the temperature of the detection unit 50S is output.
　熱電対５０は、バスケット２３の熱電対収容部２３１（センサ収容部）に挿入される。この結果、第１蓋部２１がバスケット２３とともに圧力容器２の容器本体２０に装着されると、熱電対５０の検出部５０Ｓが処理空間Ｓ内のバスケット２３内に配置される。 The thermocouple 50 is inserted into the thermocouple accommodating portion 231 (sensor accommodating portion) of the basket 23. As a result, when the first lid portion 21 is attached to the container body 20 of the pressure vessel 2 together with the basket 23, the detection portion 50S of the thermocouple 50 is arranged in the basket 23 in the processing space S.
　なお、図４を参照して、圧力容器２の処理空間Ｓの軸方向における長さがＬ、処理空間Ｓの第１蓋部２１側の端部から熱電対５０の検出部５０Ｓまでの軸方向における距離がＭとされた場合、０＜Ｍ／Ｌ＜１の関係が満たされている。本実施形態では、距離Ｍは熱電対収容部２３１の長さにも等しい。 With reference to FIG. 4, the length of the processing space S of the pressure vessel 2 in the axial direction is L, and the axial direction from the end of the processing space S on the first lid portion 21 side to the detection portion 50S of the thermocouple 50. When the distance in is M, the relationship of 0 <M / L <1 is satisfied. In this embodiment, the distance M is also equal to the length of the thermocouple accommodating portion 231.
　被処理物に対して等方圧加圧処理を施す場合、まず、容器本体２０と、第１蓋部２１と、バスケット２３と、熱電対５０と、加圧装置本体１００とが、準備される（準備工程）。前述のように、予め第１蓋部２１とバスケット２３とが互いに連結（固定）されることで蓋ユニット２Ｓが形成される（収容容器固定工程）。作業者は、蓋ユニット２Ｓのバスケット２３に食品などの被処理物を挿入する（収容工程）。また、制御部３５は予熱用ヒーター３３を制御することで、待機位置Ｑにおいて蓋ユニット２Ｓの温度を調整する（温度調整工程）。この結果、バスケット２３内に収容された被処理物を保温することができる。なお、他の実施形態において、予熱用ヒーター３３は備えられていないものでもよい。そして、作業者の指令操作に基づいて制御部３５が第１蓋シリンダ６１を駆動し、蓋ユニット２Ｓが容器本体２０に装着される。この結果、圧力容器２（第２蓋部２２を除く）が組み立てられる（圧力容器組立工程）。 When performing isotropic pressure pressurization treatment on the object to be processed, first, a container body 20, a first lid 21, a basket 23, a thermocouple 50, and a pressurizing device body 100 are prepared. (Preparation process). As described above, the lid unit 2S is formed by connecting (fixing) the first lid portion 21 and the basket 23 to each other in advance (container container fixing step). The operator inserts an object to be processed such as food into the basket 23 of the lid unit 2S (accommodation step). Further, the control unit 35 adjusts the temperature of the lid unit 2S at the standby position Q by controlling the preheating heater 33 (temperature adjustment step). As a result, the object to be processed contained in the basket 23 can be kept warm. In another embodiment, the preheating heater 33 may not be provided. Then, the control unit 35 drives the first lid cylinder 61 based on the command operation of the operator, and the lid unit 2S is mounted on the container body 20. As a result, the pressure vessel 2 (excluding the second lid 22) is assembled (pressure vessel assembly step).
　次に、制御部３５が移動機構６０を駆動することで、蓋ユニット２Ｓを含む容器本体２０がプレスフレーム１０内の加圧位置Ｐに設置される（加圧処理工程）。レール１３上の加圧位置Ｐでは、第２蓋部２２が容器本体２０に対向して配置されている。 Next, the control unit 35 drives the moving mechanism 60, so that the container body 20 including the lid unit 2S is installed at the pressurizing position P in the press frame 10 (pressurizing process). At the pressurizing position P on the rail 13, the second lid portion 22 is arranged so as to face the container body 20.
　容器本体２０が加圧位置Ｐに配置されると、第２蓋シリンダ１２が伸長し、不図示の受圧盤を介して、第２蓋部２２を容器本体２０に装着する。この結果、処理空間Ｓが密閉状態とされる。 When the container body 20 is arranged at the pressurizing position P, the second lid cylinder 12 extends, and the second lid portion 22 is attached to the container body 20 via a pressure receiving plate (not shown). As a result, the processing space S is sealed.
　次に、制御部３５が給排水ユニット３１を制御し、給排水ユニット３１から右フレーム１０Ｂ、第２蓋部２２を通じて、処理空間Ｓ内に温水（圧力媒体）が供給される。温水は処理空間Ｓを満たすまで充填される。次に、制御部３５は、ポンプユニット３２を制御して、処理空間Ｓ内の温水を加圧する（等方圧加圧処理、加圧処理工程）。この際、加圧により処理空間Ｓ内の温水の体積が縮小するため、常温の水が追加補給される。当該等方圧加圧処理が所定の時間継続されることで、バスケット２３内の被処理物に対する殺菌作用などが発現される。 Next, the control unit 35 controls the water supply / drainage unit 31, and hot water (pressure medium) is supplied from the water supply / drainage unit 31 into the treatment space S through the right frame 10B and the second lid 22. Hot water is filled until the treatment space S is filled. Next, the control unit 35 controls the pump unit 32 to pressurize the hot water in the processing space S (isotropic pressure pressurizing treatment, pressurizing treatment step). At this time, since the volume of hot water in the treatment space S is reduced by pressurization, water at room temperature is additionally replenished. By continuing the isotropic pressure pressurization treatment for a predetermined time, a bactericidal action or the like on the object to be treated in the basket 23 is exhibited.
　なお、本実施形態では、上記のように加圧前には温水が圧力容器２内に供給され、加圧時には常温の水が補充される。圧力容器２内の不図示のシール部材などの特性上、加圧した高温の水（温水）を補充することは好ましくないためである。この場合、加圧時の圧力容器２内の温度は、加圧前よりも低下する。このため、加圧中に熱電対５０によって処理空間Ｓ内の温度を検出することが重要となる。 In the present embodiment, as described above, hot water is supplied into the pressure vessel 2 before pressurization, and normal temperature water is replenished during pressurization. This is because it is not preferable to replenish the pressurized high-temperature water (warm water) due to the characteristics of the seal member (not shown) in the pressure vessel 2. In this case, the temperature inside the pressure vessel 2 during pressurization is lower than that before pressurization. Therefore, it is important to detect the temperature in the processing space S by the thermocouple 50 during pressurization.
　等方圧加圧処理が終了すると、処理空間Ｓに対する減圧処理が施される。この際、第１蓋部２１の排水弁２１１から温水が排出される。また、第２蓋部２２の給排水路２２１を通じても温水が排出される。第２蓋シリンダ１２が受圧盤を介して第２蓋部２２を容器本体２０から脱離させる。その後、移動機構６０によって蓋ユニット２Ｓを含む容器本体２０が再び、待機位置Ｑに移動される（図１）。そして、第１蓋シリンダ６１によって蓋ユニット２Ｓが容器本体２０から取り出されるとともに、蓋ユニット２Ｓのバスケット２３から加圧処理後の被処理物が取り出される（圧力容器分解工程）。 When the isotropic pressure pressurization process is completed, the process space S is depressurized. At this time, hot water is discharged from the drain valve 211 of the first lid portion 21. Hot water is also discharged through the water supply / drainage channel 221 of the second lid portion 22. The second lid cylinder 12 detaches the second lid portion 22 from the container body 20 via the pressure receiving plate. After that, the container body 20 including the lid unit 2S is moved to the standby position Q again by the moving mechanism 60 (FIG. 1). Then, the lid unit 2S is taken out from the container main body 20 by the first lid cylinder 61, and the object to be processed after the pressurization treatment is taken out from the basket 23 of the lid unit 2S (pressure vessel disassembly step).
　なお、前述のように、蓋ユニット２Ｓを容器本体２０に装着する前に、予熱用ヒーター３３によってバスケット２３内の被処理物の温度が調整されてもよい（温度調整工程）。この際、熱電対５０によって上記温度調整工程中の被処理物の温度が監視されてもよい（調整温度監視工程）。 As described above, the temperature of the object to be processed in the basket 23 may be adjusted by the preheating heater 33 before the lid unit 2S is attached to the container body 20 (temperature adjustment step). At this time, the temperature of the object to be processed during the temperature adjustment step may be monitored by the thermocouple 50 (adjustment temperature monitoring step).
　また、図２に示すように、１つの容器本体２０に対して、複数の蓋ユニット２Ｓが準備されてもよい。すなわち、一のバスケット２３および一の第１蓋部２１を含む一の蓋ユニット２Ｓと、他のバスケット２３および他の第１蓋部２１を含む他の蓋ユニット２Ｓが準備される。そして、前記一の蓋ユニット２Ｓを含む圧力容器２に対する前記加圧処理工程と、前記他のバスケット２３、または前記他のバスケット２３を含む前記他の蓋ユニット２Ｓに対する温度調整工程と、を並行して実行してもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of lid units 2S may be prepared for one container body 20. That is, one lid unit 2S including one basket 23 and one first lid portion 21 and another lid unit 2S including the other basket 23 and the other first lid portion 21 are prepared. Then, the pressurizing treatment step for the pressure vessel 2 including the one lid unit 2S and the temperature adjusting step for the other basket 23 or the other lid unit 2S including the other basket 23 are performed in parallel. You may execute it.
　以上のように本実施形態では、熱電対５０によって、加圧処理中の被処理物の温度を監視することが可能となる。このため、被処理物が食品などのように温度の影響を受けやすいものであっても、加圧処理を安定して行うことができる。また、熱電対５０の検出部５０Ｓが処理空間Ｓ内に配置されるため、被処理物の温度を精度良く検出することができる。また、第１蓋部２１に熱電対５０が支持されているため、熱電対５０の電気配線を第１蓋部２１内を通じて圧力容器２の外側に引き延ばすことができる。このため、容器本体２０に上記電気配線を引き回す必要が低減される。 As described above, in the present embodiment, the thermocouple 50 makes it possible to monitor the temperature of the object to be processed during the pressurization process. Therefore, even if the object to be treated is easily affected by temperature such as food, the pressure treatment can be stably performed. Further, since the detection unit 50S of the thermocouple 50 is arranged in the processing space S, the temperature of the object to be processed can be detected with high accuracy. Further, since the thermocouple 50 is supported by the first lid portion 21, the electrical wiring of the thermocouple 50 can be extended to the outside of the pressure vessel 2 through the inside of the first lid portion 21. Therefore, the need to route the electrical wiring around the container body 20 is reduced.
　また、本実施形態では、第１蓋部２１が圧力容器２の容器本体２０に装着されると、検出部５０Ｓがバスケット２３内に配置される。このため、熱電対５０の検出部５０Ｓが処理空間Ｓ内の特にバスケット２３内に配置されるため、被処理物の温度を更に精度良く検出することができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, when the first lid portion 21 is attached to the container body 20 of the pressure vessel 2, the detection portion 50S is arranged in the basket 23. Therefore, since the detection unit 50S of the thermocouple 50 is arranged in the processing space S, particularly in the basket 23, the temperature of the object to be processed can be detected more accurately.
　更に、本実施形態では、バスケット２３は、第１蓋部２１とバスケット２３との接続に伴って熱電対５０を内部に受け入れる熱電対収容部２３１を有する。このため、熱電対５０がバスケット２３内の熱電対収容部２３１に収容されるため、熱電対５０が被処理物との干渉によって破損することが抑止される。 Further, in the present embodiment, the basket 23 has a thermocouple accommodating portion 231 that internally receives the thermocouple 50 in connection with the connection between the first lid portion 21 and the basket 23. Therefore, since the thermocouple 50 is housed in the thermocouple accommodating portion 231 in the basket 23, it is possible to prevent the thermocouple 50 from being damaged by interference with the object to be processed.
