Abstract:
A hot-rolled steel sheet is cooled by jetting cooling water from spray nozzles to a steel sheet conveyance region in a width direction of the steel sheet conveyance region. The steel sheet conveyance region is a region that the hot-rolled steel sheet occupies on conveyor rolls, a pair of spray nozzles is arranged on both lateral sides in the width direction of the steel sheet conveyance region, and a plurality of spray nozzle pairs are aligned in a conveyance direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet. In regard to a collision region of cooling water jetted from the spray nozzle at the steel sheet conveyance region, a far end in a jet direction is positioned at an end of the steel sheet conveyance region, and a near end is positioned on an inner side of the steel sheet conveyance region. In the spray nozzle pair, the near ends of two collision regions coincide in the width direction to form a meeting.

Claim (Index 3):
The cooling method for the hot-rolled steel sheet, according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein a cooling zone in which cooling water is jetted from the plurality of spray nozzle pairs toward the steel sheet conveyance region is divided into a plurality of cooling small zones in the conveyance direction, N spray nozzle pairs (N is an integer) are arranged in the cooling small zone, the meeting zone is divided into N meeting small zones at equal intervals in the width direction, one meeting is placed in each meeting small zone in the cooling small zone, and the meetings in the cooling small zone are arranged from an upstream side toward a downstream side in the conveyance direction, from the meeting small zone at one end of the meeting zone toward the meeting small zone at the other end.
