【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、ビヤホール等の飲食店において、ビール等の清涼飲料を清涼感のある低温に冷却してジョッキカップ等の容器に一定量づつ注ぎ込むように設置しておくビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーについての改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ビヤホール等の飲食店に設置されるビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーDは、例えば、生ビールの注ぎ出し用のディスペンサーについて具体的にいえば、通常、図1に示しているように、カウンターa等の上に載架することで、所望の場所に据え付け設置し得る四角な箱状の機体1を組み立て、この機体1の内部を上下に2分して、それの上半側1aには、断熱材10により囲われた水槽11を設けて、それの内部に、ビールの生樽等の清涼飲料が填められたタンクtから、加圧した炭酸ガスが填められたボンベ等の圧力源Q内の圧力により配管12を介して導かれるビール等を冷却するための冷却蛇管13と、冷凍機2から導く冷媒を蒸発させる蛇管状の冷媒蒸発管20と、この水槽11内に張り込む冷却水wを撹拌するモーターM駆動の攪拌機14とを設けて、水槽11内に張り込む冷却水wを、冷媒蒸発管20の回りに氷結してくる氷kにより0℃付近に保持させ、その冷却水w内に配管される冷却蛇管13内を通るビールを冷却するようにする。
【0003】
また、機体1内の下半側1bには、冷媒を圧縮して液化させる圧縮機22と圧縮した冷媒を放冷する放熱器23とを組合わせた冷凍機2を組付け、これを導管21により、前述の冷媒蒸発管20と、そこで気化した冷媒が圧縮機22で圧縮され、放熱器23で放熱されて冷媒蒸発管20に循環していくように接続する。
【0004】
そして、機体1の前面側には、ビールを注ぎ出す分注ノズル15を設けて、これを前述の冷却蛇管13の下流側に接続し、分注ノズル15の下方にはジョッキ等の容器jを載置する台16を棚段状に設けておくことで構成している。
【0005】
これにより、ビールを容器jに注ぎ出すときは、容器jを分注ノズル15の下方に配して、分注ノズル15を操作することで、機体1内の水槽11に張られる冷却水w内に配管した冷却蛇管13内を流過することで冷やされたビールが所定量づつ容器j内に注ぎ出されるようにしている。
【0006】
このディスペンサーDには、図3および図4に示しているように、機体1内に断熱材10で囲った氷室bを形成し、そこに投入する氷k…により、ビール等の清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を冷却させるようにしたアイスボックス式のものがある。
【0007】
この形態のディスペンサーDは、箱状に形成した機体1の内腔に、断熱材10により囲った氷室bを形成して、その氷室bの底部に、内部に冷却蛇管13を埋設したブロック状のプレート3を、アルミ材等の金属材により成形して敷設し、それの内部の冷却蛇管13の一端側に設けた接続口を、ビールの生樽等の清涼飲料のタンクtに接続し、他端側に設けた接続口を、機体1の前面側に装設した分注ノズル15に接続して構成したもので、使用するときは、機体1の上面側に設けた蓋17を開けて氷室b内に氷kを投入して、その氷kにより金属材のプレート3を冷却しておいて、このプレート3内に埋設した冷却蛇管13内を流過するビール等の清涼飲料を冷却するようにした形態のものである。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述のディスペンサーDは、ビール等の清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を冷却するのに、その冷却蛇管13を機体1内に設けた水槽11に張る冷却水の中に配して、冷凍機2により冷却水w中に生成する氷kによって冷却する形態のもの、および、冷却蛇管13を金属のプレート3の中に埋設して、そのプレート3を機体1内に設けた氷室bの底部に敷設して、氷室b内に投入する氷kにより冷却するアイスボックス式のものの、何れのものにおいても、予め生成しておく氷kに蓄えられる大量の融解熱を利用して冷却することから、水槽11内の冷却水w中、または氷室b中に氷kが存在している間は、分注ノズル15を操作して清涼飲料を注ぎ出す作業を連続して行っても、2℃〜3℃程度に冷却した清涼飲料の取り出しが行える。
【0009】
しかし、氷kの融解熱で冷却することから、水wと氷kとが共存するときの温度である0℃近くまでしか冷却できず、熱伝導の効率などから、実際には前述した如く2℃乃至3℃程度までしか取り出す清涼飲料の冷却が出来ない。
【0010】
このため、客が、0℃以下に冷えたビール等の清涼飲料を所望したときに、これに応じられない問題がある。
【0011】
ビールは含有するアルコールにより、マイナス3℃程度に冷却しても氷が生成されてくることで分注が不能になることはなく、また炭酸飲料も含有する糖分によりマイナス3℃程度の冷却しても氷が生成することで分注不能となることはなく、客のこの注文は無理なことではない。
【0012】
この客の要求に対しては、例えば、図5に示しているように、前述の図1・図2に示したディスペンサーDの機体1内の水槽11を液槽18として、ここに不凍液yを張込み、その液槽18内に配設した冷媒蒸発管20に冷媒を循環させる冷凍機2の作動を、液槽18内に配設しておく温度センサによって検出させる不凍液yの温度により制御させることで、不凍液yがマイナス3℃程度の温度に保持されるように温度管理しておくことによって、応じることが可能となる。
【0013】
しかし、このように、清涼飲料を通す冷却蛇管13の冷却を、不凍液yにより行わす手段には、大量の融解熱を蓄めておく氷kに対応する蓄熱手段がないことで、例えば、常温(約25℃)に保持されているビールを冷却してジョッキに分注する場合でいえば、使用している冷凍機2が小型のものであることで、500ミリリットルのジョッキで3〜4杯程度までの少量の注ぎ出ししかできず、これを越して大量の注ぎ出しを連続して行うと、不凍液yを冷却する冷凍機2の能力が不足することで、マイナス温度まで冷却したビールの注ぎ出しができなくなる問題がでてくる。
【0014】
本発明は、この従前の清涼飲料を冷却して分注するディスペンサーに生じている問題を解決するためになされたものであって、ディスペンサーを、ビヤホールのカウンター等に設置する小型のものとしながら、清涼飲料を、マイナス3℃程度の極く低温に冷却して、連続して注ぎ出せるようにする新たな手段を提供することを目的とする。
【0015】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そして、本発明においては、上述の目的を達成するための手段として、ビール等の清涼飲料を、機体1内に設けた水槽11または氷室bにより冷却する冷却蛇管13に通して冷却し、機体1の外面に設けた分注ノズル15’から容器jに分注するビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーにおいて、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を水槽11内に張り込む冷却水w中に冷凍機2により生成する氷kまたは氷室b内に投入する氷kにより冷却する氷冷却式の冷却装置Aと、冷却蛇管13’を冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に保持せしめる冷却器Cにより冷却する冷却装置Bとを、清涼飲料が氷冷却式の冷却装置Aの冷却蛇管13を流過した後に、冷却装置Bの冷却器Cにより冷却される冷却蛇管13’を経て分注ノズル15’から取り出されるように接続して組み合わせ、機体1に装架したことを特徴とするビール等の清涼飲料水のディスペンサーを提起し、
【0016】
またこれに併せて、ビール等の清涼飲料を、機体1内に設けた水槽11または氷室bにより冷却する冷却蛇管13に通して冷却し、機体1の外面に設けた分注ノズル15’から容器jに分注するビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーにおいて、機体1に冷却水wを張り込む水槽11とその水槽11内に配設する清涼飲料を流過さす冷却蛇管13と水槽11内の冷却水w中に氷kを生成する冷凍機2とを組み込んでなる冷却装置Aと、機体1’に、冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に保持せしめておく金属材のブロック4内に清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13’を埋設した冷却器Cを収蔵せしめた冷却装置Bとを、隣接させて併設し、冷却装置Aの冷却蛇管13の下流側を、冷却装置Bの冷却蛇管13’の上流側に接続し、その冷却装置Bの冷却蛇管13’の下流側に、清涼飲料を取り出す分注ノズル15’を接続させて設けることを特徴とするビール等の清涼飲料水のディスペンサーを提起し、
【0017】
さらに、ビール等の清涼飲料を、機体1内に設けた水槽11または氷室bにより冷却する冷却蛇管13に通して冷却し、機体1の外面に設けた分注ノズル15’から容器jに分注するビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーにおいて、機体1に、氷kを投入する氷室bの底部に清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を埋設した金属材のプレート3を敷設せしめた冷却装置Aと、機体1’に、冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に保持せしめておく金属材のブロック4内に、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13’を埋設した冷却器Cを収蔵せしめた冷却装置Bとを、隣接させて併設し、冷却装置Aの冷却蛇管13の下流側を、冷却装置Bの冷却蛇管13’の上流側に接続し、その冷却装置Bの冷却蛇管13’の下流側に、清涼飲料を取り出す分注ノズル15’を接続させて設けることを特徴とするビール等の清涼飲料水のディスペンサーを提起し、
【0018】
さらにまた、ビール等の清涼飲料を、機体1内に設けた水槽11または氷室bにより冷却する冷却蛇管13に通して冷却し、機体1の外面に設けた分注ノズル15’から容器jに分注するビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーにおいて、機枠Fに、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を水槽11内に張り込む冷却水w中に冷凍機2により生成せしめる氷kまたは氷室b内に投入する氷kにより冷却する氷冷却式の冷却装置Aと、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13’を冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に保持せしめておく金属材のブロック4よりなる冷却器Cによって冷却する冷却装置Bとを、隣接させて併列装架し、氷冷却式の冷却装置Aの冷却蛇管13の上流側を、清涼飲料のタンクtに接続し、その冷却蛇管13の下流側を冷却装置Bの冷却器Cにより冷却される冷却蛇管13’の上流側に接続し、その冷却装置Bの冷却蛇管13’の下流側を、カウンターa等に立設しておくドラフトタワー15aに設ける分注ノズル15’と接続せしめることを特徴とするビール等の清涼飲料水のディスペンサーを提起するものである。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明手段による清涼飲料のディスペンサーは、0℃以下のマイナスの温度にまで冷やされた状態の清涼飲料を、分注ノズルから取り出せるようにするのに、通常、24℃程度の常温に保持されているビール等の清涼飲料を、一度にマイナスの温度まで降温させるのではなく、清涼飲料を通す冷却蛇管を氷により冷やす従前の氷冷却式の冷却装置を用い、これにより清涼飲料を一たん2℃〜5℃程度にまで冷やし、これを冷凍機により0℃以下の温度に冷却しておく冷却器によりマイナス3℃程度に冷やすようにする。
【0020】
この2℃〜5℃程度の温度まで冷却する一段目の冷却に用いる冷却装置Aは、図6に示しているように、カウンターa等の所望の場所に設置し得る箱状に形成した機体1の内部に、冷却水wを張り込む水槽11を装架して、その水槽11内に、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13と、冷却水wを冷却させるための冷媒を循環させる冷媒蒸発管20と、冷却水wを撹拌させるモーターM駆動の攪拌機14とを組み込み、水槽11の外部で機体1の底部には、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機22と圧縮した冷媒を放熱する放熱器23とからなる冷凍機2を組み込んで、それを導管21により前述の冷媒蒸発管20に接続して、圧縮した冷媒が冷媒蒸発管20において気化し、圧縮機22に戻って圧縮され、放熱器23により放熱されて再び冷媒蒸発管20に向かうよう循環するようにし、この冷凍機2の作動を、氷センサS1により冷媒蒸発管20の回りに生成される氷kの厚さを検出して、その厚さが一定の範囲に保持されるように制御する。
【0021】
そして、冷却蛇管13の上流側の端部を、清涼飲料が填められたタンクtに配管12を介して接続し、下流側の端部を、機体1の外面に装設しておく分注ノズル15に接続して、この分注ノズル15の操作により、ボンベなどの圧力源Qの圧力によりタンクtから押し出された清涼飲料が、氷kにより冷やされている冷却蛇管13内を流過することで、2℃〜5℃程度に冷却されて分注ノズル15から取り出されるようにすること、従前の氷冷却式のディスペンサーをそのまま用いた形態のものでよい。
【0022】
また、この氷冷却式の冷却装置Aは、図7にあるように、機体1内に、氷kを投入する氷室bを装設して、その氷室bの底部に、冷却蛇管13を埋設した金属材のプレート3を敷設し、このプレート3内に埋設した冷却蛇管13の上流側の端部を、清涼飲料が填められているタンクtに配管12を介して接続し、冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部を、機体1の外面に装設しておく分注ノズル15に接続して、冷却蛇管13を氷室b内に投入した氷kにより冷却するアイスボックス式のディスペンサーに用いられる形態のものでもよい。
【0023】
そして、これら氷冷却式の冷却装置Aにより冷却する冷却蛇管13を経た清涼飲料は、その冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部を、冷凍機2により循環させる冷媒によって所望のマイナス温度の低温に保持せしめるよう制御せしめておく冷却器Cにより0℃以下の低温に冷却しておく冷却蛇管13’の上流側の端部に接続することで、さらに、一段と低温に冷却させる。
【0024】
この冷却器Cは、図6に示している例においては、アルミ合金等の熱伝導性の良い金属材により盤状のブロック4を成形し、この成形の際に、内部に、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13’と、冷媒を循環させる冷媒蒸発管20とを、並列させて一体にインサートするように埋設することで構成してあるが、ブロック4を2つ割に成形して、それらに、これら冷却蛇管13と冷媒蒸発管20とを嵌合する嵌合溝を成形しておいて、そこに、冷却蛇管13と冷媒蒸発管20とを組付けセットし、2つ割にしたブロックを閉じ合わせてブロック4を組立てることで構成してもよい。
【0025】
そして、組立てた冷却器Cは、ブロック4の外面に、冷却蛇管13の入口管130と出口管131、および冷媒蒸発管20の入口管200と出口管201とをそれぞれ突出させた状態において、断熱材10により被覆し、これを前述の箱状に組立てた機体1に組付け、冷却蛇管13の上流側の端部である入口管130を、前述の一段目の冷却用に用いる氷冷却式の冷却手段として機体1に組込んだ水槽11内の冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部に接続し、下流側の端部である出口管131を、機体1’の前面に組付けておく分注ノズル15’に接続する。
【0026】
このとき、図6・図7に示した実施例にあるよう、一段目の冷却用に用いる氷冷却式の冷却手段として組立てた機体1の外面に、それの冷却蛇管13の下流側と接続する分注ノズル15を設けているときは、その氷冷却式の冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部に対し、三方弁式の切換弁Vを介して、この冷却器Cにより冷却する冷却蛇管13の入口管130を接続し、その切換弁Vの切り換え操作により、氷冷却式の冷却蛇管13を経た清涼飲料がその状態で分注ノズル15から取り出される状態と、氷冷却式の冷却蛇管13を経たのちにさらに、冷凍機2により0℃以下に冷却される冷却器Cによって冷やされる冷却蛇管13’を経て分注ノズル15’から取出される状態とに切り換わるようにしておく。
【0027】
また、冷却器Cのブロック4に埋設した冷媒蒸発管20の入口管200および出口管201には、別に機台5に組付けた圧縮機22および放熱器23とからなる冷凍機2の冷媒の管路に、導管21を介して接続し、冷媒蒸発管20内で気化した冷媒が圧縮機22により圧縮され、そのときの圧縮熱が放熱器23により放熱されて、再び冷媒蒸発管20に循環していくようにし、これにより、金属材よりなるブロック4が冷却されて、そのブロック4の熱で冷却蛇管13’が冷却される冷却器Cを構成するようにする。
【0028】
そして、このときの冷凍機2の作動を、コントローラ24により、ブロック4の外面の適宜の個所に組付けておく温度センサS2によって検出させるブロック4の温度によりコントロールさせ、このブロック4の温度をマイナス3℃程度に保持させることで、冷却蛇管13’を流過する清涼飲料が、マイナス3℃程度の温度に冷やされて分注ノズル15’から取り出されるようにする。
【0029】
この機台5に組付けた冷凍機2の圧縮機22および放熱器23を、機台5の機体1’に対する組み付けにより機体1’に装架し、これによって、冷凍機2によりマイナス温度の0℃以下に冷却した冷却器Cが機体1’内に収蔵されるようにする。
【0030】
この冷却器Cを収蔵せしめる機体1’は、図6に示す実施例においては、氷冷却式の冷却手段を収蔵せる機体1と別体に形成してあるが、図7に示している実施例のように、この機体1と一体に連続させた形態に構成してよい。
【0031】
次に、図8は本発明手段の別の実施例を示している。
この例は、清涼飲料を冷却する手段と、冷却した清涼飲料とを取り出す分注ノズル15・15’とを別々に分けている例である。
【0032】
分注ノズル15・15’は、ビヤホールのカウンターa等の上面に立設しておくドラフトタワー15a・15a’の頂部に組み付けてある。
【0033】
そして、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を氷により冷却して、清涼飲料を2℃〜5℃程度に冷やす第1段目の氷冷却式の冷却手段には、図7に示した実施例において用いた氷室b内に氷kを投入して、その氷室bの底部に敷設せる金属プレート3内の冷却蛇管13を冷却するアイスボックス式の冷却手段が用いられている。
【0034】
このアイスボックス式とした冷却蛇管13の氷冷却式の冷却装置Aは、断熱材10により囲ってボックス状に形成した氷室bを、カウンターa等の台盤の下方に配位して設置する機枠Fに装架することで構成してあり、その機枠Fごと、カウンターa等の下方に配設し、氷室bの底部に設置しておく金属材よりなるプレート3内に埋設した冷却蛇管13の上流側の端部を、清涼飲料が填められているビールの生樽などのタンクtに、配管12を介して接続し、冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部を、配管12を介してカウンターa上に立設せるドラフトタワー15aの頂部に組み付けた分注ノズル15に、三方弁式の切換弁Vを介して接続するようにしている。
【0035】
また、この氷冷却式の冷却手段により冷却した冷却蛇管13によって2℃〜5℃程度に冷やした清涼飲料を、さらに冷やして0℃以下のマイナス温度に降温させるために、冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に制御しておく冷却器Cにより冷却蛇管13を冷却させる二段目の冷却装置Bは、前述の図6・図7に示した実施例と同様に、冷却蛇管13と冷媒蒸発管20とを並列させて埋設したブロック4を、なるべく熱伝導性の良い金属材で、かつ、質量を大きくした形態に成形し、これを断熱材10により被覆して、前述の機枠Fに組み付け支架し、そのブロック4内に埋設した冷却蛇管13の入口管130を、前述のアイスボックス式とした冷却手段の氷室bの底部に敷設せるプレート3に埋設した冷却蛇管13の下流側の端部に接続した前述の三方弁状の切換弁Vに配管12を介し接続し、冷却蛇管13の出口管131を配管12を介してカウンターa上に立設せるドラフトタワー15a’に組み付けた分注ノズル15’に接続し、また、この断熱材10で被覆するブロック4とは別に、別体の取付台2aに、冷媒を圧縮する圧縮機22と圧縮した冷媒を圧縮する放熱器23とからなる冷凍機2を組み付けて、これを、ブロック4を囲う断熱材10の外側に配位して前述の機枠Fに組み付け、これの冷媒の管路を、導管21を介して前述のブロック4内に埋設した冷媒蒸発管20に、そこで気化した冷媒が圧縮機22から放熱器23を経て再び冷媒蒸発管20に循環するように接続し、この冷凍機2の作動で、ブロック4に組み付けた温度センサS2により制御させるようにしてある。
【0036】
そして、これにより、冷凍機2の作動により質量の大きい金属材よりなるブロック4に大量のマイナスの熱量が蓄められるようにしてある。
【0037】
従って、この実施例手段においては、清涼飲料は、氷冷却式の冷却装置Aである氷室b内の氷kにより冷却された冷却蛇管13内を流過することで2℃〜5℃程度に冷やされた後に、冷却器Cにより0℃以下のマイナス温度に冷却されている冷却蛇管13’を流過することで、さらに所望に設定しておくマイナス温度に冷やされた低温の清涼飲料となって分注ノズル15’から取り出されるが、このとき、ブロック4の質量が大きいことで、連続して注ぎ出すことができるようになる。
【0038】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によるビール等の清涼飲料のディスペンサーは、ビール等の清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13を、水槽11内に張込んだ冷却水w中に冷凍機2により生成せしめる氷kで冷やすか、氷室b内に投入する氷kにより冷やす氷冷却式の冷却装置Aと、清涼飲料を流過させる冷却蛇管13’を、冷凍機2により0℃以下の低温に保持せしめておく金属材のブロック4よりなる冷却器Cによって冷却される冷却装置Bとを、清涼飲料が氷冷却式の冷却装置Aの冷却蛇管13内を流過して冷却された後に冷却器Cによりマイナス温度に冷却されている冷却蛇管13’を流過することでマイナス温度に冷やされるように組み合わせているのだから、客に、マイナス温度にまで強く冷やした清涼飲料を要求されたときに、それを冷凍機の能力に不足をきたすことなく連続して分注していけるようになる。
【0039】
また、通常の2℃〜5℃程度に冷やされた清涼飲料を要求されたときには、切換弁の操作で氷冷却式の冷却装置Aだけを経たものを分注ノズルから取り出すことで応じられる。

In this dispenser D, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an ice room b surrounded by a heat insulating material 10 is formed in the body 1, and a soft drink such as beer is flown by the ice k. There is an ice box type in which the cooling coil 13 is cooled.
[0007]
The dispenser D of this embodiment is a block-shaped dispenser in which an ice chamber b surrounded by a heat insulating material 10 is formed in the inner cavity of the body 1 formed in a box shape, and a cooling snake pipe 13 is embedded inside the ice chamber b at the bottom of the ice chamber b. The plate 3 is formed by laying a metal material such as an aluminum material and laid, and a connection port provided at one end side of the cooling coil 13 inside the plate 3 is connected to a tank t of a soft drink such as a fresh beer barrel. The connection port provided on the end side is configured by connecting to a dispensing nozzle 15 provided on the front side of the body 1. When used, the lid 17 provided on the top side of the body 1 is opened to open the ice chamber. The ice k is put into b, the metal plate 3 is cooled by the ice k, and a soft drink such as beer flowing through the cooling snake tube 13 embedded in the plate 3 is cooled. It is of the form shown in FIG.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The above-mentioned dispenser D arranges the cooling snake tube 13 in the cooling water stretched over the water tank 11 provided in the body 1 to cool the cooling snake tube 13 through which a soft drink such as beer flows. 2 and a cooling water cooled by the ice k generated in the cooling water w, and a cooling coiled tube 13 is buried in a metal plate 3 and the plate 3 is mounted on the bottom of an ice chamber b provided in the body 1. It is laid and cooled by the ice k which is put into the ice compartment b, but in any case, since it cools using a large amount of heat of fusion stored in the ice k which is generated in advance, While the ice k is present in the cooling water w in the water tank 11 or in the ice compartment b, even if the operation of pouring the soft drink by operating the dispensing nozzle 15 is continuously performed, 2 ° C. to 3 ° C. It is possible to take out soft drinks cooled to about ℃.
[0009]
However, since it is cooled by the heat of melting of ice k, it can only be cooled to near 0 ° C., which is the temperature when water w and ice k coexist. Cooling of soft drinks taken out only up to about 3 ° C. to 3 ° C. is not possible.
[0010]
For this reason, there is a problem that when a customer desires a soft drink such as beer cooled to 0 ° C. or lower, the customer cannot respond to the request.
[0011]
Beer does not become impossible to dispense due to the formation of ice even when cooled to about -3 ° C due to the alcohol contained, and it is also cooled to about -3 ° C due to the sugar content of carbonated beverages. The ice does not make it impossible to dispense, and this order of customers is not unreasonable.
[0012]
In response to the customer's request, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the water tank 11 in the body 1 of the dispenser D shown in FIGS. The operation of the refrigerator 2 that wraps the refrigerant and circulates the refrigerant through the refrigerant evaporating pipe 20 disposed in the liquid tank 18 is controlled by the temperature of the antifreeze liquid y detected by a temperature sensor disposed in the liquid tank 18. This makes it possible to control the temperature by keeping the temperature of the antifreeze solution y at about minus 3 ° C.
[0013]
However, as described above, the means for cooling the cooling serpentine tube 13 through which the soft drink passes by using the antifreeze y does not include a heat storage means corresponding to the ice k for storing a large amount of heat of melting. In the case where beer held at (about 25 ° C.) is cooled and dispensed into a mug, since the refrigerator 2 used is small, 3 to 4 cups of a 500 ml mug are used. If only a small amount of pouring can be performed, and if a large amount of pouring is continuously performed, the capacity of the refrigerator 2 for cooling the antifreeze y is insufficient, and the beer cooled to a minus temperature is poured. There is a problem that can not be put out.
[0014]
The present invention has been made to solve the problem that has occurred in a dispenser that cools and dispenses the conventional soft drink, while the dispenser is a small one that is installed on a counter of a beer hall, It is an object of the present invention to provide a new means for cooling a soft drink to an extremely low temperature of about -3 ° C so that the soft drink can be continuously poured.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The soft drink dispenser according to the means of the present invention is usually kept at a normal temperature of about 24 ° C. so that the soft drink cooled to a negative temperature of 0 ° C. or less can be taken out from the dispensing nozzle. Instead of lowering the temperature of a soft drink such as beer to a minus temperature at a time, use a conventional ice-cooling type cooling device that cools a cooling snake tube through which the soft drink passes with ice. It is cooled to about 5 ° C., and is cooled to about −3 ° C. by a cooler that keeps the temperature at 0 ° C. or less by a refrigerator.

[0021]
Then, the upstream end of the cooling snake tube 13 is connected to the tank t filled with the soft drink via the pipe 12, and the downstream end is provided on the outer surface of the body 1. 15, the operation of the dispensing nozzle 15 causes the soft drink pushed out from the tank t by the pressure of the pressure source Q such as a cylinder to flow through the cooling snake tube 13 cooled by the ice k. In this case, the dispenser may be cooled to about 2 ° C. to 5 ° C. and taken out from the dispensing nozzle 15, and a conventional ice-cooled dispenser may be used as it is.
[0022]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the ice-cooling type cooling device A is provided with an ice chamber b into which the ice k is charged, and a cooling snake tube 13 is buried in the bottom of the ice chamber b.

By connecting to the upstream end of the cooling coil 13 ′ which is cooled to a low temperature of 0 ° C. or less by a cooler C which is controlled to make it cooler, it is further cooled to a lower temperature.
[0024]
In the example shown in FIG. 6, the cooler C forms the disc-shaped block 4 from a metal material having good heat conductivity such as an aluminum alloy, and in this molding, the soft drink is flowed inside. The cooling serpentine pipe 13 ′ to be passed and the refrigerant evaporating pipe 20 for circulating the refrigerant are buried so as to be inserted in parallel and integrally.

Thereafter, the state is switched to a state of being taken out from the dispensing nozzle 15 ′ through the cooling coil 13 ′ cooled by the cooler C cooled to 0 ° C. or less by the refrigerator 2.
