When it is not necessary to cool the object to be cooled, such as at night, it is possible to prevent freezing in the ice storage tank by operating at a low speed. Therefore, the cooling efficiency can be improved without using a large-scale device. In addition, according to the invention of claim 6, the partition is provided with a partition plate having a plurality of holes of a predetermined size formed therein, and a pump connected to a tank below the partition plate. A water cooling device according to any one of claims 1 to 4. For this reason, in addition to the effects of claims 1 to 4, it is possible to prevent the suction port of the pump from being blocked by large ice. Therefore, the cooling efficiency can be improved without using a large-scale device. According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided the water cooling apparatus according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, further comprising a rack provided in the water storage tank, for storing the object to be cooled, and movable in the vertical direction. . For this reason, in addition to the effects of the first to sixth aspects, the object to be cooled can be taken out only by pulling up the rack without the operator putting his hand in the cold water storage tank. Therefore, the cooling efficiency can be improved without using a large-scale device.
