When the steady state is reached, as shown in FIG. 2B, the flexible member 50 comes into pressure contact with the recess inner surface 61a and the pressure-sensitive portion 71 of the pressure sensor 70.

Here, the expansion range of the flexible member 50 is limited by the recess 61 of the case body 60. Therefore, even if uneven expansion deformation occurs due to uneven thickness of the flexible member 50, the expansion direction of the flexible member 50 is guided by the recess inner surface 61a, and the expansion direction is unsatisfactory. Uniform expansion is corrected. As a result, the flexible member 50 is uniformly expanded and deformed so as to have a shape along the recess inner surface 61a.

Liquid feed tube 25 and expanded flexible member 5
Since there is almost no flow of the cooling liquid 21 in the gap S between 0 and 0, the expansion pressure P that acts in the direction from the flexible member 50 toward the recess inner surface 61a is almost equal at any part according to Pascal's principle. Therefore, in the steady state, the flexible member 50 is subjected to the same expansion pressure P and the inner surface 61 of the recess.

In the circulation circuit 20, the liquid feeding tube 25
When the breakage occurs or the flow path is blocked, the pressure of the cooling liquid in the liquid feeding tube 25 increases. Since the flexible member 50 remains pressed against the inner surface 61a of the recess, the expansion pressure P of the flexible member 50 increases as the pressure of the cooling liquid 21 increases. When the expansion pressure P above the predetermined range is detected, the controller 42 recognizes that the coolant pressure has abnormally increased,
Notify to that effect. Specifically, an error is displayed on the display 43 or an alarm sound is emitted. The controller 42 further outputs a stop signal or a signal for reducing the flow rate to the liquid delivery pump 23. As a result, it is possible to promptly take appropriate measures against the abnormal increase in the coolant pressure.

Since the countermeasure against the abnormal rise of the coolant pressure works before the pressure limit value of the circulation circuit 20 is exceeded, damage to the cooling bag 22, the water channels in the treatment device 24, and the tubes 25 and 26 can be prevented. . In addition, the flexible member 50
Since it is restricted from expanding and deforming beyond the size of the recess 61, the rupture of the flexible member 50 is prevented even when the coolant pressure rises abnormally.

On the other hand, if the cooling liquid leaks due to disconnection or breakage of the circulation circuit 20 or the liquid supply pump 23 fails, the pressure of the cooling liquid in the liquid supply tube 25 decreases,
The expansion pressure P of the flexible member 50 also decreases. When the pressure of the cooling liquid 21 is further reduced, the flexible member 50 can no longer expand and comes into contact with the pressure-sensitive portion 71 of the pressure sensor 70. When the expansion pressure P (including zero) equal to or lower than the predetermined range is detected, the controller 42 recognizes that the coolant pressure has abnormally decreased and displays an error on the display 43. The controller 42 further outputs a stop signal to the liquid delivery pump 23. With this, it is possible to promptly take appropriate measures against the abnormal decrease in the coolant pressure.

As described above, since the expansion range of the flexible member 50 is limited by the recess 61 of the case body 60, even if the flexible member 50 is unevenly deformed due to uneven thickness or the like. The non-uniform expansion of the flexible member 50 is corrected by pressing the inner surface 61a of the recess 61 of the case body 60, and the expansion pressure P of the flexible member 50 is detected by the pressure sensor 70.
Can be reliably transmitted. As a result, the cooling liquid 21
The pressure of can be accurately detected, and appropriate measures against abnormal pressure can be promptly taken. By pressing the flexible member 50 against the inner surface 61a of the recess, even if the coolant pressure increases, the flexible member is prevented from bursting. Further, since the pressure of the cooling liquid 21 is converted into the expansion pressure P of the flexible member 50 and detected, the insides of the liquid feeding tube 25 and the flexible member 50 are shielded from the outside world, and the cooling liquid 21 is not exposed. The coolant pressure can be monitored in contact.

Further, since the amount of expansion deformation of the flexible member 50 due to the cooling liquid pressure is larger than that of the liquid feeding tube 25, the deformation due to the change of the cooling liquid pressure appears more sensitively than the deformation of the liquid feeding tube 25. Can reliably detect the coolant pressure. Moreover, since the flexible member 50 having the tube shape is used, the flexible member 50 expands over the entire circumference. For this reason, when attaching the liquid feeding tube 25 to which the flexible member 50 is attached to the case body 60, it is not necessary to perform a complicated work or structure such as pointing the side hole 27 toward the pressure sensor 70. Therefore, it is possible to monitor the flow of the cooling liquid 21 within a certain pressure range by a simple structure that covers the flexible member 50 with the case body 60 and is easy to handle.

For example, the shape of the recess 61 of the case body 60 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 2, but may be any suitable shape as long as it has a function of limiting the expansion range of the flexible member 50. Can be adopted. However, the flexible member 5
It is preferable to have a smooth inner surface shape such as a sphere or an ellipsoid so as not to damage 0. Further, since the expansion pressure P of the expanded and deformed flexible member 50 is almost equal in all parts, the depressions 62a and 63a of the upper and lower cases 62 and 63 do not have to have the same shape, and may have asymmetrical shapes. For example, the upper case 62 on the side where the pressure sensor 70 is attached needs to have the depression 62a, but the surface of the lower case 63 that holds the flexible member 50 may be formed to be flat.

Further, the case body 60 is not limited to the one that can be opened and closed, and may be, for example, a form in which two separated case bodies are butted against each other to sandwich the liquid feed tube 25 and the flexible member 50. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a block-shaped case body 75 is provided with an insertion port 76 into which the liquid feed tube 25 and the flexible member 50 are inserted, and an insertion port 76.
It is also possible to form a hollow portion 77 communicating with the above and to close the insertion port 76 with a block 78. Block 78
