The ice making device is configured to make a large amount of ice at one time and store it in an ice storage chamber, and when supplying a drink, it dispenses wood chips along with the drink, and when the amount of stored water decreases to below a predetermined level, it starts making ice again. Therefore, since ice making equipment does not introduce new water from the water tank each time the pump operates to supply drinks, if the ice making operation is stopped for a long time and the water remains stopped for a long time, the water will drain from the water tank. Small amounts of microorganisms and algae contained in the water proliferate, causing the water quality to deteriorate.

In the above configuration, the effect of guiding water in the freezing cylinder (7) to the carbonator (11) when the pump (lO) is operated will be explained. First, when the carbonated water in the carbonator (11) decreases to a predetermined amount, the pump (10) starts operating based on a detection signal from a detection device (not shown). Therefore, water in the water tank (4) is sucked into the pump (10) and introduced into the carbonator (11) through two routes: the first route through the water suction pipe (12), and the second route through the water pipe (6) and the communication pipe (14). be done. At this time, the water in the freezing cylinder (7) is also attracted by the water flowing in the second path of the water pipe (6) and the communication pipe (14), is sucked into the pump (10), and is guided to the carbonator (11). Since the amount of water flowing through the second path is suppressed by the resistor (15) to be smaller than the amount of water flowing through the first path, the amount of water taken out from the freezing cylinder <7) is small enough for ice-making operation. Although this does not pose a problem, such water flow prevents water from stagnation within the ice making device (5).

Therefore, microorganisms, algae, etc. do not grow inside the ice making device (5), and deterioration of water quality is prevented. In addition, tap water contains impurities such as calcium and magnesium, and these impurities tend to be deposited in the freezing cylinder (7). Such debris can be removed from the ice making device (5) by generating a water flow inside the ice making device (5). If impurities accumulate in the ice making device (5), it will adversely affect the ice making operation, but according to the present invention, such problems can also be prevented.

(G) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, a water flow is generated inside the ice making device each time the pump operates during beverage supply, thereby preventing water from stagnation and providing a sanitary beverage dispensing device. Further, when the pump is activated, the water flow in the water suction pipe causes a water flow to be generated in the ice making device, so there is no need to make complicated adjustments to the amount of water absorbed by the pump. Therefore, with a simple configuration, it is possible to reliably suck water from the ice making device and supply beverages.
