Another object of the present invention is to provide a chilled water supply device using an ice maker capable of supplying ice from the outside.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cold water supply apparatus using an ice maker, including a main body having an ice reservoir, an ice maker installed in the main body to supply ice to the ice reservoir, An ice discharge unit for taking out the ice stored in the ice storage unit, a cold water nozzle installed at an upper portion of the body for selectively discharging water to be supplied, a supply pipe for supplying water to the cold water nozzle, And a heat exchanger for cooling the water supplied to the cold water nozzle through the supply pipe by using the cool air of the ice stored in the ice reservoir.
The ice discharge unit may further include an ice external supply member mounted to the ice storage unit so as to be slidable from the body to allow the ice stored in the ice storage unit to be supplied from outside.
And a hot water nozzle connected to the auxiliary supply pipe and mounted on an upper portion of the main body.
And a purification unit for purifying the water flowing in the supply pipe.
And a storage tank connected to the supply pipe and storing the cooled water through the heat exchanger.
The cold water supply device using the ice maker of the present invention is characterized in that the cold water of the ice and the water in the supply pipe are heat-exchanged with each other through the supply pipe through which the water is supplied into the ice storage part, The structure can be simplified, the energy efficiency of the ice maker can be increased, and power consumption can be reduced.
In addition, the cold water supply device using the ice maker of the present invention can supply ice from the outside to prevent contamination of the ice storage part and the stored ice.

Water supplied to the water pipe is not heated separately but may be suitable as water supplied to a supply pipe which can be heat exchanged and become cold water if it is supplied to a cold water drinking device using an ice maker according to the present invention.
Since a common cold water supply device uses a cooling cycle that is performed through compression, condensation, evaporation, and expansion processes using a refrigerant provided in a refrigerator or an ice maker, heat energy of the refrigerant is consumed and additional power consumption is inevitable.
In addition, if a separate cooling device is installed in a general cold water supply device without using a conventional refrigeration cycle, the structure is complicated and the installation is difficult.
However, the cold water supply device using the ice maker according to the present invention does not have a cooling means for cooling the supplied water because it serves as a refrigerant, and can be cooled without using the ice making means of the ice maker.
Therefore, the cold water supply device 1 using the ice maker according to the present invention is simple in structure, easy to install, and can increase the energy efficiency of the ice maker, thereby reducing power consumption.
