Description

The present invention relates to a beverage cooling device for cooling hot coffee for iced coffee in a short time and for converting hot soup into a cold soup in a short time.

Conventionally, to make boiled coffee for iced coffee, measures such as natural cooling, putting it in water in a closed container, or keeping it in a refrigerator after cooling to a certain degree have been taken. I have. In this regard, soups have been similarly treated.
Further, as a simple method, it is also used to prepare an outsourced one packed in a tetra pack.

However, as for coffee or the like, no matter how delicious the freshly drip coffee is, the time-consuming cooling method described above destroys the important aroma, which causes the turbidity of iced coffee and the deterioration of taste. In addition, the introduction of cooling equipment to meet demand only in the summer is not only costly but also difficult to install.
In addition, all the products packed in Tetra Pak have a similar taste and cannot be differentiated from products of other companies (other stores).

The problem of the present invention is to provide a simple beverage cooling device that can rapidly cool a hot beverage such as hot water to a tap water temperature in a short time.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.
The present invention has a housing having a water inlet for injecting tap water into a lower part, a drain port for discharging the injected tap water to the outside on an upper side surface, and a closed bottom surface. Having an intake at the upper end thereof for closing the upper surface of the enclosure and taking in the beverage at the center thereof, and extending downward from the intake with a metal tube. The lower end portion includes a cooling member having a supply port extending through the side portion of the housing and extending to the outside to supply the beverage taken in from the upper end to the outside, and the metal tube is provided with the taken-in beverage. Is formed so as to be inclined downward such that it naturally falls from the upper end to the lower end.

筐 体 In addition, it is preferable that the housing in the present invention has a cylindrical shape.

金属 In addition, it is preferable that the metal tube is formed by repeatedly forming a circular shape along a side wall of the housing, substantially ／ of the entire circumference, and subsequently winding the inside of the metal tube into a substantially Ω shape. By doing so, it is possible to effectively utilize the inside of the narrow housing.

Furthermore, it is convenient that the shape of the intake port is formed in a saucer shape having a hole at the center so that a supply cup or a funnel for coffee or the like can be placed.

The dimensions of the housing are desirably approximately 250 mm in height and 180 mm in inner diameter, and the metal tube is made of copper. The outer diameter is approximately 10 mm, the inner diameter is 8.4 mm, and the extension is 1000 mm.

に よ According to the present invention, it is economical because it is small and does not take up much space, only tap water is required for operation, and no electricity is required. Further, according to the present invention, for example, when the coffee is cooled, since the temperature is rapidly cooled from the temperature immediately after the drip to the water temperature, a delicious iced coffee with excellent aroma and excellent transparency can be obtained. In addition, since rapid cooling can be performed, ice coffee unique to the company (own store) can be easily commercialized, and differentiation from other companies (other stores) can be achieved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of a beverage cooling device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing how to wind up a metal tube housed in a housing, and FIG. 3 is a metal tube. FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view when only a part is taken out and viewed. Here, the term “winding method” is used to indicate that the metal tube is wound from the lower side to the upper side.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a beverage cooling device, 12 denotes a housing, which is substantially cylindrical (round can), the bottom surface of which is closed, and a water inlet 14 for injecting tap water is provided at the lower part of the side surface. In addition, a drain port 16 of tap water injected into the housing 12 is provided on the upper side surface.
Further, a cooling member 20 is housed in the housing 12. The cooling member 20 has a shape in which the upper end thereof closes the upper surface of the housing 12, and has a take-in port 22 for taking in a beverage at the center thereof, and a funnel type in which a supply cup or a funnel for coffee or the like can be placed. Is formed as a receiving tray 24. A central portion of the cooling member 20 is formed of a metal tube 26, extends downward from the intake port 22, and a lower end portion thereof extends to the outside through a lower side surface of the housing 12 and is taken in from an upper end portion. The beverage is supplied to a supply port 28 for supplying the beverage to the outside.

The metal tube 26 at the center of the cooling member 20 is formed in a circular shape along the side wall of the housing 12 and substantially 3/4 of the entire circumference, and then repeatedly winding the inside of the circular shape into a substantially Ω shape. It is formed. The metal tube 26 is formed so as to be inclined downward so that the taken beverage naturally falls from the upper end to the lower end.

The method of using the beverage cooling device is as follows. The tap 30 of the water supply is connected to the water inlet 14 provided on the lower side surface of the housing 12 by a hose 32, and the water is drained to the drain port 16 provided on the upper side surface of the housing 12. Hose 34 is connected. Then, the funnel 40 is placed on the tray 24 of the cooling member 20, and coffee is poured into the funnel. In this case, instead of the funnel 40, a drip device provided with a vertical filter paper may be used. When a drip device is used, it is convenient to place a tripod on the tray 24.

The coffee poured into the funnel 40 flows through the metal tube 26 to the supply port 28. At that time, tap water is continuously injected. Since the metal pipe 26 passes through the tap water that has been continuously poured, coffee passing through the metal pipe 26 undergoes heat exchange with the tap water via the metal pipe 26. When supplied from the supply port 28, it is cooled to about the water temperature. A coffee pot is placed under the outlet of the supply port 28 to receive the coffee that has come out. When the hose 50 is inserted into the supply port and used, the cooling processing efficiency increases. This is because the suction force is increased by lengthening the outlet.

The dimensions of the housing 12 were approximately 250 mm in height and 180 mm in inner diameter, and the metal tube 26 was made of copper and had an outer diameter of 10 mm and an inner diameter of 8.4 mm. The winding of the metal tube 26 was repeated in such a manner that approximately 3/4 of the entire circumference was formed in a circular shape along the side wall of the housing 12, and then the inside of the metal tube 26 was wound in a substantially Ω shape. The metal tube 26 was formed to have a downward slope such that the taken-in beverage naturally dropped from the upper end to the lower end. As a result, the total length became 1000 mm.
The capacity of the beverage cooling device 10 was such that 2 liters of hot water could be cooled to the temperature of tap water in about 3 minutes. When a 60 cm to 70 cm hose was attached to the supply port 28, the treatment could be performed in about one and a half minutes, and in this case, it was possible to cool down to the temperature of tap water.

た め Because the length of the metal tube 26 is as long as 1000 mm, when coffee flows from the funnel 40, if there is a residue in the metal tube 26 or if air enters, it may be clogged. Therefore, before and after use, it is desirable to attach a pump to the supply port 28 and suction and remove the residue. However, if the flow of coffee is stopped only due to the formation of an air pocket, it will be opened after a few seconds.

To wash the inside of the metal pipe 26, a large spoonful of an oxygen bleach is introduced from the inlet 22 of the cooling member 20, and hot water of about 80 ° C. is poured from the funnel 40. At this time, tap water is removed. This is because the oxygen-based bleach does not foam unless the temperature is kept at about 80 ° C.

No space required, no electricity required. Since it is only necessary to have a water tap, it is simple, and it is preferable to use it at a restaurant or a coffee shop.

It is a figure showing an embodiment of a cooling device for drinks concerning the present invention. It is a top view which shows how to wind up the metal tube of the cooling device for drinks shown in FIG. It is a schematic perspective view which shows how to wind up the metal tube of the cooling device for drinks shown in FIG.
