Description
(Cross reference of related application)
This international application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-127992, filed on June 23, 2014, with reference to the entire contents of Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-127992 It shall be used in this international application.
The present invention relates to a beverage supply apparatus, and more particularly, to a beverage supply apparatus that supplies raw water supplied from a replaceable water supply tank as a beverage with improved water quality.
For example, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a cold water tank is disposed in an upper portion of the inside of a water cooler main body, the inside of the cold water tank is divided into a low water portion and a cold water portion by a separating member, A cartridge in which activated carbon is wrapped in a nonwoven fabric and accommodated, for example, is provided on the lower surface of the member, and the cartridge is used to filter the tap water to supply it as drinking water.
However, in the conventional art, since water is forced to pass through the water quality improving material (by passing water through the water quality improvement material) by the water pressure from the upstream side, the water passes through the water quality improvement material Or in the extreme case, a specific water channel is generated in the water quality improving material, and the water is passed through only the water, and the water quality improving effect is extremely reduced.
In the conventional beverage supply device, it has been required to sufficiently secure the time for the raw water to contact the water quality improvement material in order to improve the water quality by the water quality improvement material.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide a beverage supply apparatus capable of achieving sufficient water quality improvement.
In the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a beverage supply apparatus comprising: a raw water supply section; a water quality improvement section provided downstream of the raw water supply section and containing at least one water quality improvement material; And a water supply portion for discharging the water stored in the fresh water storage portion as drinking water, wherein the water quality improvement portion includes a water quality improvement portion for improving water quality of the water quality improvement portion, And the upper part of the clean water reservoir are communicated with the atmosphere.
Therefore, the pressure applied to the upper portion of the at least one water quality improving material is only a predetermined water pressure corresponding to the atmospheric pressure and the water level position determined by the water level positioning portion. Further, when the full water level is set near the top of the at least one water quality improvement material, the pressure applied to the top of the at least one water quality improvement material becomes a pressure substantially determined only by the atmospheric pressure.
In addition, since the fresh water storage portion on the downstream side of the water quality improvement portion also communicates with the atmosphere, the pressure on the outlet side of the water quality improvement portion does not suddenly become negative when the water supply portion is opened. Thereby, a large pressure is not applied to the upper portion of the at least one water quality improving material, and the lower portion of the at least one water quality improving material is also sucked out with a large pressure. Therefore, the water in the water quality improving material is allowed to flow at the rate of descending by its own weight, and does not descend at the rate higher than the rate of descending.
Also, there is no problem that the effect of improving the water quality is extremely reduced by making the water pass through only the passage by making a specific water passage which is not intended by the at least one water quality improving material. Therefore, a water quality improvement part, in which a sufficient water quality improvement time is obtained, is obtained by the water speed of the water in the at least one water quality improvement material, and water quality improved water quality can always be obtained.
When the water level in the clean water storage portion rises and exceeds the lower end of the water quality improvement portion, a pressure difference of the water level exceeding the lower end is applied to the outlet side of the water quality improvement portion in addition to the atmospheric pressure, It acts only in a direction to suppress the flow rate in one of the water quality improving materials and does not increase the flow rate. Therefore, the water quality improvement effect is increased or decreased in comparison with the case where water flows naturally by the self weight in the at least one water quality improving material.
According to one aspect of the present invention, in the above water quality improvement portion, a plurality of water quality improvement materials (at least two kinds of water quality improvement materials) are disposed vertically, and a flow rate suitable for water quality improvement by the water quality improvement material It is also possible to control using the flow resistance in the disposed water quality improving material.
Generally, as a material for improving the adsorption, spouting, and antibacterial water quality, a water quality improving material made of a powder, a granule, or a pellet is known in order to increase a contact area with water. And water is brought into contact with the surface of the water quality improvement material for a predetermined period of time, whereby the water quality improvement effect is exerted. In this case, the effect of water quality improvement may vary depending on the flow rate per unit volume of the water quality improving material. In other words, by controlling the flow rate per unit amount of the water quality improving material, a desired level of water quality improving effect can be obtained.
On the other hand, the filter material of the filtration system often has an integral structure in a sheet-like shape and a solid shape, and by varying the dimensions of the other side of the area and the thickness, for example, .
Therefore, first, the desired flow rate is determined on the basis of the total amount of the water quality improving material for the former (adsorption / spouting / antibacterial water quality improving material), and for the latter (filtering material of the filtration system) So that the desired flow rate can be obtained. Therefore, the design of the water quality improvement section becomes natural and easy.
In one aspect of the present invention, a flow rate restraining member may be disposed at the bottom of the water quality improvement portion, and a flow rate appropriate for water quality improvement by the at least one water quality improvement material may be formed or adjusted using the flow rate restraining member.
A sufficient water quality improvement effect can be obtained by providing the flow rate restraining member at the bottom of the at least one water quality improvement member even if the at least one water quality improvement member alone does not provide sufficient effect of improving water quality due to too much flow rate.
In one aspect of the present invention, the water quality improvement section may be immersed in the fresh water storage section, or may be provided with a cooling section for cooling the fresh water storage section.
Even if the room temperature rises due to a change in temperature due to the season or a change in the indoor environment in which the beverage supply device is installed or the like, the at least one water quality improving material in the water quality improvement part So that the propagation of bacteria and the like on the at least one water quality improving material can be suppressed.
According to the beverage supply apparatus of the first aspect of the present invention, since the water passes through the water quality improvement material at a constant flow rate, it is possible to stably realize the improvement of the water quality.
