Abstract

To obtain a liquid supply device that can supply cooled liquid and reduce the burden of maintaining hygiene. [Solution] The refrigerated storage unit 12 is configured to be cool and dark inside, and stores a storage container 90 containing a beverage as a liquid for supply inside. A weighing mechanism 40 provided inside the refrigerated storage unit 12 measures the mass of the object to be weighed, including the storage container 90 containing the beverage, and an injection mechanism 50 provided in the storage container 90 can inject the beverage in the storage container 90 into the supply container 100 by gravity, and can also stop the injection. The supply control unit determines the amount of beverage injected from the injection mechanism 50 into the supply container 100 based on the decrease in the measured value of the weighing mechanism 40, and controls the amount of beverage injected from the injection mechanism 50 into the supply container 100.
