BACKGROUND ART In recent years, even when canning beverages that do not contain carbon dioxide gas such as youth, it has been desired to use cans made of a thin material similar to that used for beverages containing carbon dioxide gas. However, beverages that do not contain carbon dioxide gas are heated to sterilize them, and when the can returns to room temperature after being sealed, negative pressure may be created inside the can. It is normal for the strength to be insufficient.

For this reason, attempts have been made to increase the internal pressure of the sealed can by dripping liquefied inert gas just before the can is sealed, thereby compensating for the lack of strength of the can. The amount of liquefied inert gas to be dropped and sealed at this time varies depending on the temperature of the can filling, the operating speed of the seaming device, the size of the upper space inside the can, and the like. Moreover, if the amount is insufficient, the occurrence of defective cans such as crushing due to lack of strength will increase, and if it is too much, the phenomenon of blistering will occur.
Problems arise, such as being mistaken for defective cans due to spoilage. For this reason, it is necessary to be able to freely change the amount enclosed in the can, and to always maintain a constant amount once set.

The amount of the sealed gas, that is, the amount of the dripped gas, is strongly influenced by the diameter of the dripping nozzle, the opening time of the nozzle, and the pressure applied to the liquefied inert gas. For this reason, in this type of dripping device, the liquefied inert gas in the source tank is transferred to the storage tank of the dripping device, and it is always kept at a constant level so that the head applied to the dripping nozzle is constant, and the vaporized gas in the storage tank is kept at a constant level. Attempts have been made to appropriately set the pressure and use it to adjust the amount of dripping.

Conventionally, to lower the pressure, it is sufficient to release the vaporized gas in the storage tank through a regulator, but to increase the pressure, a heater is installed in the storage tank to heat the vaporized gas. It was being done. However, adjusting the pressure by heating complicates the structure of the liquefied inert gas storage tank, causes problems such as the heater consuming a considerable amount of power, and the response speed of pressure adjustment being limited due to the heat capacity of the heater. It contained.

Further, the upper part of the source tank 5 having an internal pressure higher than the internal pressure of the upper space 7 of the storage tank 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 8 via a regulator 16 for setting the internal pressure of the storage tank. The regulator 16 supplies vaporized gas from the source tank 5, which is a high pressure source, to the storage tank when the pressure in the space 7 of the storage tank is lower than a predetermined pressure. It is for controlling the supply of vaporized gas, and its set pressure is set to the desired pressure of the storage tank.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a pressure regulating valve control regulator for controlling the pressure regulating valve 13 using the vaporized gas pressure in the source tank 5. The regulator 19 is configured such that when the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 becomes higher than a predetermined pressure, the pressure regulating valve 13 opens and releases the vaporized gas in the storage tank 1, thereby reducing the internal pressure of the storage tank to a predetermined pressure. Then, a predetermined pilot pressure for controlling the pressure regulating valve 13 is set to the pressure regulating valve 13.
is added to. A heater 18 is used to prevent the regulator from freezing, and the control panel 17 heats the vaporized gas when necessary. 14 is a safety valve, 1
2 is a sensor that detects the proximity of a can to which the liquefaction bath is to be dripped.

This device supplies liquid from the source tank 5. In the case of initial liquid supply, if the internal pressure of the source tank 5 is low, it takes a long time to supply liquid through the float valve 15, so the valve 20 is opened to supply liquid. The liquid is rapidly supplied into the storage tank 1 through the pipe 10. Valve 20 is then closed.

A signal from the sensor 12 detecting the approach of the can causes the control panel 17 to open the drip valve 3 by means of the electromagnetic drive device 2 for a preset time to drip a predetermined amount of liquefied gas into the can. When the liquid level in the storage tank 1 decreases due to dripping, the float valve 15 is opened and the liquefied gas flows into the storage tank due to the internal pressure of the source tank 5, and the liquid level is kept constant.

On the other hand, the internal pressure in the storage tank 1 is kept constant by releasing the vaporized gas in the upper space 7 through the pressure regulating valve 13. At the same time, since the vaporized gas release line from the source tank 5, which is set higher than the pressure in the space 7, is connected to the release line 8 through the regulator 16, the pressure in the storage tank 1 may rise to the set value for some reason. If the pressure drops further, the vaporized gas will instead flow into the upper space of the storage tank 1, increasing the internal pressure to the set value. In this way, the pressure on the dripping liquefied gas is kept constant.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment in which the liquid supply pipe 11 is a double pipe. When the liquid level in the storage tank 1 drops and the float valve 15 opens, if the liquid supply pipe 11
If the liquefied gas is vaporized inside, this vaporized gas will be released into the storage tank 1, and the liquid supply will not be carried out smoothly, but the pressure inside the storage tank 1 will increase due to the high vaporized gas pressure. There is also a possibility that the amount of liquefied gas dripping from the nozzle 6 may change.

For this purpose, the piping is a double pipe, the inner pipe 21 is used as the liquid supply pipe to the storage tank, and the liquefied gas in the outer pipe 22 prevents the liquefied gas in the liquid supply pipe 21 from vaporizing. The temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure in the outer tube 22, which pressure can be adjusted by releasing the vaporized gas through a suitable pressure regulating valve 13'. In some cases, this discharged gas may be connected to the above-mentioned discharge pipe 8 through a regulator, and the pressure within the reservoir may be adjusted by the pressure of this discharged gas.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the drip valve 3 portion. The needle valve 23 cooperating with the nozzle plate 4 is supported by a spring 24
The valve rod 25 is always urged upward by the drive device 2, and collides with the valve rod 25, which is driven vertically by the drive device 2, and follows the movement of the valve rod 25. Liquefied gas is supplied from the reservoir through passages 26 in the nozzle plate 4.

このように弁杆25と針弁23を別体に構成す

As mentioned above, this invention uses the internal pressure of the source tank, which is higher than the pressure inside the storage tank, to keep the pressure inside the storage tank constant, thereby eliminating the need for a pressure-maintaining heater and responding to pressure increases. It is possible to obtain a stable amount of liquid dropped at all times.

In addition, the self-cooled liquid supply pipe prevents vaporization in the liquid supply pipe, prevents pressure fluctuations due to opening of the float valve, and facilitates centering of the dripping valve to eliminate factors that cause fluctuations in the amount of liquefied gas dripped. This is what was created.
