By the way, as shown in FIG. 13, when the harness HS is connected to the coupler KP inside the design component 15 on the left side, the harness HS is extended in a U shape in a region below the coupler KP. It prevents water introduced from the holes from entering the coupler KP through the harness HS.

The control unit 70 is electrically connected to the display control unit 54a, the valve group 34, the tube pump 30, the diluent water valve 41, and the cooling unit 14 described above, and is stored in the storage unit 71 which is also electrically connected. The operation of each of these parts is controlled in an integrated manner according to the programs and data.

The control unit 70 may be realized by, for example, a processing device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a program, that is, by software, or by hardware such as an IC (Integrated Circuit). Alternatively, it may be realized by using software and hardware together.

The beverage supply device having the above configuration supplies the beverage to the cup 1 placed on the supply stage 20 as follows.

For example, during business hours of a facility in which a beverage supply device is installed, the beverage supply device has a standby display in which the control unit 70 causes the display control unit 54a to display a beverage input unit 53a that can be supplied to the display unit 53. And enter the standby state. Further, the control unit 70 constantly drives the cooling unit 14 to cool the internal atmosphere of the refrigerator 12 regardless of the business hours of the facility.

In such a standby state, among the supplyable beverage input units 53a displayed on the display unit 53, when the beverage input unit 53a using the syrup sealed in the left BIB 33 is touch-operated, the control unit 70 drives the motor 31 of the left tube pump 30 corresponding to the corresponding BIB 33 while opening the dilution water valve 41. As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, a predetermined amount of syrup pumped from the corresponding BIB 33 is discharged downward from the open end 32a of the left tube 32, and a predetermined amount of diluted water is discharged from the dilution water nozzle 42. It is discharged toward the upper surface opening of the cup 1. That is, the diluted water discharge unit 40 can discharge the diluted water in a manner inclined with respect to the discharge direction of the syrup from the open end 32a of the tube 32. As a result, the diluted water and the syrup are mixed and put into the cup 1, and the beverage can be supplied to the cup 1.

On the other hand, in the standby state, when the beverage input unit 53a using the syrup sealed in the right BIB 33 among the supplyable beverage input units 53a displayed on the display unit 53 is touch-operated, the control unit 70 Drives the motor 31 of the tube pump 30 on the right side corresponding to the corresponding BIB 33 while opening the dilution water valve 41. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, a predetermined amount of syrup pumped from the corresponding BIB 33 is discharged downward from the open end 32a of the tube 32 on the right side, and a predetermined amount of diluted water is discharged from the dilution water nozzle 42. It is discharged toward the upper surface opening of the cup 1. That is, the diluted water discharge unit 40 can discharge the diluted water in a manner inclined with respect to the discharge direction of the syrup from the open end 32a of the tube 32. As a result, the diluted water and the syrup are mixed and put into the cup 1, and the beverage can be supplied to the cup 1. In this way, the diluting water discharge unit 40 discharges common diluted water that dilutes the syrup discharged from the plurality of tube pumps 30.

By the way, outside the business hours of the facility, the control unit 70 drives the cooling unit 14 and causes the display control unit 54a to erase the display of the display unit 53. As a result, the beverage supply device is put into a dormant state in which the supply of the beverage to the cup 1 is restricted. In this hibernation state, the control unit 70 enables the display control unit 54a to perform a touch operation on the display unit 53. That is, the control unit 70 has a board 54b (electrical equipment) on which the display control unit 54a that controls the display of the display unit 53 is mounted so that the touch operation on the display unit 53 is enabled in the state where the display of the display unit 53 is erased. The part 55) is energized.

In this way, the control unit 70 keeps the electrical component 55 energized in the hibernation state, so that the storage space 56 facing the front surface of the heat insulating material 51 (front surface of the protective plate 52) due to heat generated from the electrical component 55 is provided. Can be heated. As a result, even if the cooling unit 14 is constantly driven to cool the internal atmosphere of the refrigerator 12, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of dew condensation on the front surface of the front door 50, which is close to the electrical component 55 of the heat insulating material 51. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of failure due to the dripping of condensed water on the electrical component 55.

In the beverage supply device, since the storage space 56 in which the electrical component 55 is arranged communicates with the heat exhaust port 59, the heat generated by the electrical component 55 is discharged to the outside from the heat exhaust port 59. Moreover, while restricting the water that has entered through the heat exhaust port 59 from entering the storage space 56 at the rising portion 572, the gutter portion 571 guides the water that has entered through the heat exhaust port 59 to at least one of the left and right sides. Then, the water guided to at least one of the left and right by the gutter portion 571 is introduced into the gap 61 between the guide wall portion 60 and the side wall portion 50a, and the gap 61 is allowed to flow downward and dropped from the hole portion. The water dropped from the hole portion in this way is introduced into the inside of the design constituent portion 15, passed through the inside of the design constituent portion 15, and then discharged to the outside from the drain port 16.

As a result, according to the beverage supply device of the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a failure due to water dripping on the electrical component 55 while ensuring the exhaust heat of the electrical component 55.

Further, according to the beverage supply device of the present embodiment, the following actions and effects are obtained.

That is, since the cup guide 212 has the first cup guide portion 212a and the second cup guide portion 212b having two curvatures, not only the cup 1 but also a water bottle having an outer diameter larger than that of the cup 1, for example, a water bottle, etc. The beverage container 2 can also be placed in a desired area, and the beverage can be supplied to the water bottle owned by the user, so that the convenience of the user can be improved.

Further, since the shelf board 13 used for storing the BIB 33 in the cold storage 12 is provided for each BIB 33, when the BIB 33 is to be replaced, the shelf board 13 is separated from the cold storage 12 and then the BIB 33 is removed. The replacement work can be facilitated by fitting the tube 32 of the new BIB 33 into the notch 13a of the shelf board 13 and then mounting the shelf board 13 in the cold storage 12. Moreover, since the shelf board 13 is made of sheet metal or the like, the BIB 33 can be uniformly cooled by being cooled by the internal atmosphere of the cool box 12.

Although the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made.

In the above-described embodiment, water is discharged to the outside from the drain port 16 formed in the design component 15, but in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 16, the water is discharged from the drain port 16 of the design component 15. A drainage guide portion 17 may be provided to guide the discharged water to the drip tray 213 of the supply stage 20. According to this, it is possible to prevent the water that has entered from the heat exhaust port 59 from being discharged to a table or the like on which the beverage supply device is installed.
