  1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a beverage supply device according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the beverage supply device, and FIGS. 2A and 2B show drive control related to a beverage supply operation. FIG. 3 is a time chart showing drive control related to the washing water supply operation.

  The beverage supply apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a beverage storage unit, for example, a resin-made beverage bottle 10 in which beverages such as mineral drinking water are stored, and a reserve tank 20 described later from a water injection port 10a at the lower end of the beverage bottle 10. Drinks are allowed to flow inside. In addition, when a resin carrying a metal having antibacterial properties such as gold, silver, or copper is used as a resin that is a constituent material of the beverage bottle 10, the beverage bottle 10 has an antibacterial action. Bacteria inhabiting the bottle 10 can be sterilized and the propagation of the bacteria can be suppressed.

  The reserve tank 20 detachably supports the beverage bottle 10. An inlet 10 a for a beverage bottle 10 is inserted in the upper part of the reserve tank 20, and the beverage in the beverage bottle 10 flows into the reserve tank 20. In addition, an air cylinder 20a communicating with the outside is installed on the upper portion of the reserve tank 20, and atmospheric pressure is applied to the reserve tank 20 through the air cylinder 20a. Thereby, when the water level in the reserve tank 20 becomes lower than the lower end opening of the injection port 10a, air flows into the beverage bottle 10 from the lower end opening, while the air has flowed into the reserve from the beverage bottle 10. The beverage flows out into the tank 20. Therefore, the reserve tank 20 controls the amount of beverage discharged from the beverage bottle 10. In addition, an opening 20b is provided at the lower portion of the reserve tank 20, and a beverage flows into a chlorine generator 30 described later through the opening 20b.

  The chlorine generator 30 has a bottomed box-like cis turn 30a and a pair of yin and yang electrodes 30b disposed in the cis turn 30a. A DC voltage of the DC power supply 30c is applied to the beverage via the electrode 30b, and the hypochlorous acid concentration (effective chlorine concentration) in the cistern 30a is increased. Further, a drinking water conduit 30d and a cleaning water conduit 30e are connected to the bottom of the cistern 30a. The drinking water conduit 30d communicates with a beverage cooling section (cold water tank 40) described later. The cleaning water conduit 30 e extends through the cold water tank 40 to the outside. Further, a cleaning water supply valve 30f for opening and closing the cleaning water conduit 30e is provided at the front end side of the cleaning water conduit 30e, and the flow rate of the cleaning water conduit 30e is detected upstream from the cleaning water supply valve 30f. A flow rate detector 30g is provided.

  The cold water tank 40 stores the beverage that has flowed in through the drinking water conduit 30d. The cold water tank 40 has a tank main body 40a partitioned by a heat insulating wall, and an evaporator 40b which is a refrigerant vaporizing portion of a refrigeration apparatus (not shown) is installed on the inner wall of the tank main body 40a. Due to the refrigerant vaporizing action of the evaporator 40b, an ice bank 40c is formed in the tank body 40a, whereby the beverage in the tank body 40a is cooled. The reserve tank 20 is installed in the upper part of the tank body 40a, and the chlorine generator 30 is accommodated in the tank body 40a. On the other hand, a water injection pipe 50 to be described later is connected to the lower part of the tank body 40a.

When the beverage switch 60 is turned on (when a person who wants to drink turns on the beverage switch 60), the beverage supply valve 50a is opened over time T1, and the beverage in the cold water tank 40 is poured into the cup C through the water injection pipe 50. Is done. When the beverage switch 60 is turned on, the DC power source 30c also energizes the electrode 30b for a time T2. In this way, chlorine is generated by the chlorine generator 30 every time beverage supply is started. The reason for this is that the water level in the tank main body 40a is lowered due to the beverage supply, and accordingly, the beverage in the beverage tank 10 flows into the chlorine generator 30 through the reserve tank 20, and the effective chlorine concentration in the chlorine generator 30 decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate for this. FIG. 2B shows drive control relating to another beverage supply operation. This drive control is different from the drive control in that a current is supplied from the DC power supply 30c to each electrode 30b after the beverage supply valve 50a is closed. Since the effective chlorine concentration is increased after the beverage supply operation in this way, the chlorine newly added by the chlorine generator 30 remains in the cistern 30 and does not flow out from the tank body 40a to the cup C side. The tank body 40a can be sterilized efficiently.

  Next, drive control related to the washing water supply operation will be described with reference to FIG. First, when executing the washing water supply operation, the beverage cylinder 10 is removed from the reserve tank 20 in advance. When the washing switch 61 is turned on (when a person who desires washing or rinsing of the tableware turns on the washing switch 61), the washing water supply valve 30f is opened. As a result, water having an effective chlorine concentration is poured from the chlorine generator 30 through the washing water conduit 30e and used for washing dishes and rinsing. Here, the washing water supply valve 30f is in an open state while the flow rate detector 30g detects the water flow. That is, the cleaning water supply valve 30f is set to be opened until all the water in the chlorine generator 30 and the reserve tank 20 has completely flowed out.
