Description

Fresh cold drink supply

The invention relates to a design of a ready-to-cold cold drink supply machine, in particular to an instant food supply machine capable of rapidly cooling a hot beverage which is currently brewed into a cold drink, and particularly relates to a hot water constituting the cold drink fast food supply machine. Supply modules, brewing tanks, cooling chambers and cooling modules.

The traditional way of selling cold drinks is usually to take tea, coffee powder or spices and brewing materials, add hot water to form hot drinks, and when the hot drinks are naturally cooled to normal temperature, add ice cubes to form a cold drink.

In addition, the existing cold drink machine mainly provides a pre-cooling pre-set container in the cold drink machine for pouring the pre- brewed beverage into the container, so that the beverage is cooled first to become a cold drink and the cooling is maintained for a long time. In a state, when the user wants to take the cold drink, the cold drink is discharged into the hand-held beverage container through the beverage supply port of the container for the user to drink.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional cold drink technology, it is necessary to cool the pre- brewed beverage into the preset container, apply a long time of cooling to keep the temperature low, wait for the supply to be served, and cannot provide immediate brewing and giving The cooling supply, in this way, not only increases the time of the cooling process, but also the opportunity to easily contact the external pollutants, which leads to the problem that the sanitary conditions are not easy to maintain; and, if the cooling temperature of the supplied beverage is kept stable, the beverage in the preset container It is necessary to rely on the device to maintain the low temperature to supply the continuous cooling operation of the beverage; on the other hand, the device for maintaining the low temperature must add a new beverage or a large amount of the beverage to the container, and the energy consumption of the ice temperature of the beverage is maintained. And the stability of the temperature of the cold drink supply is bound to be greatly tested.

In view of the above, the present inventors have made years of experience in the production, manufacture and design of equipment and equipment related to cold drink machines, and have further developed the present invention to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a ready-to-cold cold drink supply machine which can quickly cool a hot drink which is currently in the form of a hot drink into a cold drink. In order to overcome the above-mentioned conventional cold drink supply machine, it is easy to cause various problems such as poor hygiene, large energy consumption, and unstable beverage supply temperature.
