After the purified water passes through the cold water coil 7 for rapid heat exchange (the temperature of the water entering the soda mixing tank 8 is consistent with that in the cold water storage tank 5), it enters the soda mixing tank 8; When taking ice water, the main water inlet valve 18 and the water inlet solenoid valve 21 corresponding to the cold water inlet nozzle 42 and the disinfection sterilizer 20 are opened at the same time, and the purified water flows out directly after heat exchange with the cold water in the cold water storage tank 5 through the cold water coil 7. In addition, when the water inlet of the soda-water mixing tank 8 and the ice water outlet share the cold water coil 7, the two cannot be opened at the same time; S5. In the refrigeration state, the circulating water pump 9 or the stirring motor 10 continues to work; in the water intake state, the circulating water pump 9 or the stirring motor 10 works; in the standby state, the circulating water pump 9 or the stirring motor 10 is triggered to work by the temperature difference between the first temperature sensor 13 and the second temperature sensor 14 in the cold storage water tank 5.
