The operation and effect of the drinking water supply device according to the present invention constructed as described above is as follows. Since the present invention is configured to mount the water bottle 3 below the casing 1 of the drinking water supply device as shown in FIG. 2, it is very convenient to replace the water bottle 3. That is, the empty water bottle 3 is separated in the casing 1 at the time of replacement, but the hose 17 inserted in the water bottle 3 at this time is easily pulled out from the water bottle 3 because the material is a soft material. The water level sensor 16 provided at the outflow port 3a can also be easily withdrawn by separating the fixed packing 31 coupled to the outflow port 3a. In this way, the empty water bottle 3 is replaced with a new separated water bottle 3. At this time, the hose 17 is inserted into the outlet 3a of the water bottle 3 and the water level detection sensor 16 is inserted. When the fixed packing 31 is fixed to the outlet 3a, the mounting is completed. When the replacement of the new water bottle 3 is completed, the user may select the cold water selection switch 24 or the hot water selection switch 25 to supply the desired drinking water, but the user wants to drink the cold water. At this time, the cold water selection switch 24 provided on the upper surface 26 of the casing 1 is turned on. As described above, when the cold water selection switch 24 is turned on, the motor 4 is driven at the same time, the pump 5 connected thereto is operated, and the compressor 6 is also operated at the same time.

On the other hand, when the pump 5 is operated by the driving force of the motor 4, the water in the water bottle 3 is sucked up through the hose 17, and the sucked water flows through the connecting member 18 connected to the hose 17. After passing through, it flows into the space 21 of the coupling pipe 19 provided at the lower end of the pump 5. At this time, the pressure of the inflowing water causes the check valve 22 provided in the coupling pipe 19 to smoothly flow into the pump 5, which is opened toward the inflowing side of the water.

Since the cooling selection switch is turned on for the inflow water that has passed through the pump 5, the solenoid valve 32 on the left side of the drawing is actuated to open the inside diameter of the blocked pipe, and the inflow water is It flows into the cooler 7.

On the other hand, the cooling pipe 8 is formed by being bent at a predetermined interval, and since the cooler 7 through which the refrigerant 23 flows is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the cooling pipe 8, the inflowing water is cooled by this cooling device. It is cooled rapidly while passing through the pipe 8.

On the other hand, the proper temperature of the cooling water is preferably such that a person can drink it and feel a refreshing feeling, and the temperature of the cooling water is affected by the length of the cooling pipe 8 inserted in the cooler 7.
