Abstract

Eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe von Getränken, insbesondere zur vollautomatischen Herstellung von gekühltem Sodawasser im Haushaltsbereich, verfügt über einen Mischbehälter (4) zur Aufnahme von Wasser. Der Behälter ist über ein den Druck im Mischbehälter (4) begrenzendes Steuerventil mit einem unter Druck stehenden, Kohlendioxid abgebenden Mittel verbunden. Mindestens ein Teil einer Bodenwand (31) des Behälters (4) besteht aus einem gut wärmeleitenden Material und ist mit einem thermoelektrischen Element (33) verbunden, das mit seiner im Betrieb kühlenden Seite mit dem besagten Teil der Bodenwand (31) wärmeleitend verbunden ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist eine drehbare horizontale Welle (20) in dem Behälter (4) vorgesehen ist, auf der Mischerelemente (29) befestigt sind, wobei fluchtend mit der Welle (20) ausserhalb des Behälters (4) eine angetriebene Welle (25) vorgesehen ist. Auf beiden Wellen sind dann permanent-magnetische Elemente angeordnet, um eine berührungslose magnetische Kupplung zu bilden.

A device for dispensing beverages, in particular for the fully automatic production of cooled soda water in the household sector, has a mixing container (4) for receiving water. The container is connected via a pressure in the mixing container (4) limiting control valve with a pressurized, carbon dioxide emitting means. At least a part of a bottom wall (31) of the container (4) consists of a good heat-conducting material and is connected to a thermoelectric element (33) which is thermally conductively connected with its cooling in operation side with said part of the bottom wall (31). Advantageously, a rotatable horizontal shaft (20) in the container (4) is provided, are mounted on the mixer elements (29), wherein in alignment with the shaft (20) outside the container (4) is provided a driven shaft (25). On both shafts permanent-magnetic elements are then arranged to form a non-contact magnetic coupling.
