Description

The present invention relates to the beverage server, and more specifically, the length in the front-rear direction can also be made relatively compact, and even when the rear wall portion and the wall of the beverage server are in contact with each other, the inside is surely made. Regarding beverage servers that can be ventilated.

There is known a beverage server capable of cooling drinking water such as beer and soft drinks and supplying a fixed amount of water from a pouring unit with high accuracy.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the conventional beverage server 60, a cooling fan 61 is attached to ventilate the inside of the device, and an air introduction slit 60a and an air discharge slit 60b are attached to the front and rear of the device. Is provided.

Since such a beverage server is relatively compact, it has an advantage that it does not require an occupied space. For this reason, the beverage server is often installed in a narrow space such as near a wall.

However, when the beverage server is placed near the wall, the wall approaches the discharge slit of the beverage server, so that the discharged air hits the wall surface after cooling, and the air cannot be sufficiently discharged from the discharge slit. Can occur.
Then, even if the cooling fan is driven, the air stays in the beverage server and the air is gradually heated, so that the cooling refrigerant is insufficiently cooled, and as a result, the drinking water is efficiently cooled. You will not be able to do it.

On the other hand, a cooling water tank for cooling the drinking water and a refrigerating device for cooling the cooling water tank are housed in the housing, and the inside of the housing proceeds to the upper side of the exhaust port (exhaust slit) on the upper side of the condenser. A duct cover with a guide plate that inclines as it rises, and the air that is introduced from the lower intake port inside the housing and passed through the condenser by the drive of the cooling fan is slanted from the upper exhaust port on the peripheral wall of the housing. Beverage dispensers (beverage servers) that form an upward flow path are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to such a beverage dispenser, the air that has passed through the condenser can be discharged upward, so that an exhaust flow is generated even when the wall is close to the exhaust port of the beverage dispenser.

Japanese Patent No. 6014376

However, in the beverage server described in Patent Document 1, since the exhaust port is provided on the upper side of the rear wall portion, the condenser, the cooling fan, and the compressor in the beverage server are arranged in the vertical direction behind the refrigerating apparatus. There is a need.
Then, since the length of the beverage server in the front-rear direction becomes large, it is difficult to install it in a narrow space such as a small store, and even if it can be installed, it is difficult to handle.
Further, the beverage server described in Patent Document 1 has a drawback that a sufficient effect cannot be exhibited unless a sufficient gap is provided between the rear wall portion of the beverage server and the wall. That is, if the gap between the rear wall of the beverage server and the wall is not sufficient, or if the rear wall of the beverage server is in contact with the wall, a discharge slit is formed at the top. Even if it does, it will not be able to exhaust enough air in the end.

In the beverage server 100, the cooling fan, the radiator, and the compressor are arranged in this order in the front-rear direction, and the radiator 42 and the like are air-cooled by the cooling fan 43 introducing air.

FIG. 2A is a perspective view of the housing portion from which the duct cover is removed from the beverage server according to the first embodiment as viewed from diagonally above, and FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the housing as viewed from diagonally below. It is a figure.
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the housing portion 10 includes a front wall portion 10a on the front side, side wall portions 10b on both left and right sides, a rear wall portion 10c on the rear side, an upper wall portion 10d on the upper side, and a lower portion. It has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a lower wall portion 10e on the side.
Further, the housing portion 10 has a horizontal partition plate 13 inside, and the inside thereof is partitioned into an upper chamber 11 on the upper side and a lower chamber 12 on the lower side via the partition plate 13. (See (a) in FIG. 1).
In the present specification, the side where the dispensing portion 30 is provided is the front side, and the side where the duct cover 50 is provided is the rear side with respect to the housing portion 10. Further, with the partition plate 13 as a boundary, the upper side is the upper side and the lower side is the lower side.

In the housing portion 10, an introduction slit 1a for introducing air into the lower chamber 12 is provided on the lower side of the front wall portion 10a, more specifically, on the lower side of the stage portion 31. As will be described later, in the beverage server 100, since the cooling fan 43 is arranged on the front wall portion 10a side, air is introduced into the lower chamber 12 from the introduction slit 1a by the cooling fan 43. It has become like.

In the housing portion 10, two injection portions 30 are arranged side by side on the upper side of the front wall portion 10a so as to project forward from the front wall portion 10a. The two pouring portions 30 have the same structure as each other.
As the dispensing section 30, a known one can be appropriately adopted. For example, the pouring portion 30 includes a base portion in which a flow path for flowing drinking water is formed, and a cock interlocking with a valve that opens and closes the flow path. In this case, in the pouring portion 30, by tilting the cock, drinking water stored in a container (not shown) such as a barrel is poured out from the flow path at the base via a passage pipe (not shown). Will be. At this time, the passage pipe is cooled by the refrigerating device, so that the drinking water to be poured out is in a cooled state.

In the housing portion 10, the stage portion 31 is attached to the lower side of the front wall portion 10a so as to project forward from the front wall portion 10a. Therefore, the stage portion 31 is attached below the pouring portion 30.
In the stage portion 31, a container such as a glass can be placed on the stage portion 31. Then, the container is placed on the stage portion 31 so as to be directly below the pouring portion 30, and the drinking water is poured out from the pouring portion 30, so that the drinking water is stored in the container.

In the housing portion 10, side discharge slits 1b for discharging air from the lower chamber 12 are provided below the side wall portions 10b on both sides. The side discharge slit 1b on one side and the side discharge slit 1b on the other side may have the same shape or different shapes.
Therefore, if there is a gap between the side wall portion 10b and the wall (not shown), air can be discharged from the side discharge slit 1b as well.

In the housing portion 10, the leg portions 15 are attached to the four corners of the lower surface of the lower wall portion 10e, respectively. As a result, the lower wall portion 10e of the housing portion 10 has a gap between it and the floor surface, so that heat can be radiated from this gap.

In the housing portion 10, a discharge slit 1c for discharging air from the lower chamber 12 is provided below the rear wall portion 10c. A duct cover 50, which will be described later, is attached to the discharge slit 1c so as to cover the discharge slit 1c.

Returning to (a) of FIG. 1, in the housing portion 10, the duct cover 50 is attached to the lower side of the rear wall portion 10c so as to project rearward from the rear wall portion 10c. The details of the duct cover 50 will be described later.
As described above, since the beverage server 100 includes the duct cover 50, even if the duct cover and the wall are in contact with each other, there is a gap between the rear wall portion 10c of the beverage server and the wall. Can be secured. This makes it possible to secure an air discharge route.

In the housing portion 10, a freezing device for cooling drinking water is housed in the upper chamber 11.
As the refrigerating apparatus, a known one can be appropriately adopted. For example, examples of the refrigerating device include a water tank for accommodating cooling water and a refrigerant pipe arranged in the water tank and through which a refrigerant for cooling the cooling water flows.

On the other hand, in the housing portion 10, the compressor 41 that compresses and supplies the cooling medium to be sent to the freezing device, the radiator 42 for dissipating the cooling medium, and the cooling for introducing air into the lower chamber 12 into the lower chamber 12 thereof.
