In the case of such a configuration, the rotary operation knob 59 is turned, for example, counterclockwise so that the rotary shaft 58 is projected outward of the outer case 4, and the beer barrel pressing piece 60 is moved toward the vertical wall portion 90a. , The beer barrel 5 is stored, and then the rotating operation knob 59 is turned clockwise.
8a proceeds in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
Is pressed against the heat transfer plate 13a of the heat transfer block 13 of the Peltier unit 12 by sliding the stored beer barrel 5 on the bottom plate 91 of the bottom case 90. An effect of improving heat conductivity can be obtained. In this case, it goes without saying that the rotary operation knob 59 or the rotary shaft 58 may have an electric structure.

(3) Modification 3 (see FIG. 13) In this example, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, a gel having good heat transfer properties is provided on the heat transfer surface of the heat transfer plate 13a of the heat transfer block 13 of the Peltier unit 12.

An electronic cooling means is provided corresponding to the cooled object container storage space so that the cooled object container stored in the cooled object container storage space can be in close contact with the heat absorbing surface of the electronic cooling means. A cooling container provided with a cooling object discharging means for discharging a cooling target from the cooling target container to the outside. 2. The object-to-be-cooled container is brought into close contact with the heat absorbing surface of the electronic cooling means in response to the closing operation of the lid of the cooling container main body, and is separated in response to the opening operation of the lid. The cooling container according to claim 1, wherein the cooling container is configured as follows. 3. The object container to be cooled is brought into close contact with the heat absorbing surface of the electronic cooling means in response to the storage operation in the object container storage space in the cooling container body. The cooling container according to claim 1, wherein the cooling container is configured to be separated in accordance with the removing operation of the cooling container. 4. The object-to-be-cooled container is brought into close contact with the heat-absorbing surface portion of the electronic cooling means via a predetermined pressing operation means after the object-to-be-cooled being stored in the object-to-be-cooled container storage space in the cooling container body. The cooling container according to claim 1, wherein the cooling container is configured as follows. 5. An elastic member having good heat conductivity is provided on a heat absorbing surface portion of the electronic cooling means, and the object container to be cooled is stored in the object container housing space in the cooling container body via the elastic member. 2. The cooling container according to claim 1, wherein the cooling container is configured to be in close contact with the heat absorbing surface of the electronic cooling means.
