Beverage cooling device and beverage supply system using cooling device

Abstract

Disclosed is a beverage cooling device for improving cooling efficiency. The beverage cooling device comprises: a beverage storage tank which is provided with an inlet for introducing a new beverage and an outlet for discharging a cooled beverage; a cooling means which forms a layer of ice on the inside wall surface of the beverage storage tank so as to cool the beverage which is supplied to the tank; a beverage flow-inducing means which is provided to the inside of the beverage storage tank and increases the contact area with respect to the layer of ice while the beverage which is introduced through the inlet moves to the outlet, so as to increase cooling efficiency; and a path-securing means for preventing the blocking of a path, through which the beverage can move, by extending the layer of ice to the beverage flow-inducing means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a beverage cooling device, and in more detail, relates to a method for sequentially cooling beverages supplied from beverage storage tanks or water supply pipes to prevent mixing of beverages supplied earlier and beverages supplied later, thereby improving cooling efficiency and A beverage cooling device capable of securing a flow path through which cooled beverages can move, and a beverage supply system using the cooling device. Background technique [0002] Usually, a beverage cooling device is installed on a water purifier that receives and purifies tap water, or a hot and cold water dispenser that supplies mineral water sold in a specific container, and cools the beverage to a predetermined temperature before supplying it to the user. device. [0003] Moreover, when dispensing and selling soft drinks or liquor such as draft beer in a predetermined amount at a store, they are cooled to a predetermined temperature us...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0012] This ice layer becomes thicker and thicker over time, especially when the water in the cooling bucket is not drained, so if this state continues, some or all of the inside of the cooling bucket Frozen, making it impossible to drain the water from the cooling bucket to the outside

[0013] In addition, in the cooling device of the above-mentioned published patent, since the upper part of the cooling tub is constituted by an opening, and an inflow portion for supplying water to the cooling tub is provided on the opening, bacteria or pollution sources may pass through the gap in the opening. into the cooling tank
