[0024] The stirring blade 2032 is arranged at the bottom end of the water tank 2. The rotation of the stirring blade 2032 stirs the water flow, thereby accelerating the flow of water in the water tank 2, achieving rapid heat exchange, shortening the cooling time of the water, and thus improving the cooling efficiency of the water.

[0025] The water outlet pipe 202 is located at the bottom of the silo 102. Furthermore, by setting the water outlet pipe 202 at the bottom of the silo 102, it is ensured that when the cooled water is transported to the silo 102 through the water outlet pipe 202, the water can be quickly integrated with the powder bag and other ingredients of the beverage, thereby speeding up the production time of the beverage.

[0026] A water inlet pipe 201 connected to the water tank 2 is provided at the top of the water tank 2, and a stirring fan 203 for driving the stirring blade 2032 to rotate is provided at the top of the water tank 2. Furthermore, the water inlet pipe 201 is arranged on the side of the water tank 2, and the water inlet pipe 201 and the water outlet pipe 202 are respectively located on opposite sides of the water tank 2. In addition, the stirring fan 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 2, and the stirring fan 203 is arranged in the middle of the water tank 2. The stirring blade 2032 is driven by the stirring fan 203, thereby realizing the stirring of the water.

[0027] The output end of the stirring fan 203 is connected to a driving shaft 2031, and the driving shaft 2031 is arranged along the height direction of the water tank 2. The stirring blade 2032 is arranged at the bottom end of the driving shaft 2031. Furthermore, the driving shaft 2031 is arranged in the middle of the water tank 2, and the driving shaft 2031 penetrates the middle of the spiral coil 301. The stirring blade 2032 is driven to rotate by the driving shaft 2031. Since the stirring blade 2032 is arranged at the bottom end of the driving shaft 2031, the water in the water tank 2 can be stirred by the stirring blade 2032, thereby faster heat exchange of the water and improved refrigeration efficiency.

The liquid level float switch 2033 and the water inlet pipe 201 are located at the same height. Furthermore, the liquid level float switch 2033 rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 2031. The water level in the water tank 2 is detected by the liquid level float switch 2033, so that water can be added to the water tank 2 in time, ensuring that the water in the water tank 2 is always full.

[0029] The spiral coil 301 is arranged along the height direction of the water tank 2, and the spiral coil 301 is arranged in the circumferential direction around the driving shaft 2031, which increases the contact area between the spiral coil 301 and the water and improves the refrigeration efficiency.
