(4); A start unit for recognizing a touch operation of the screen unit 140, generating a product manufacturing start signal to turn on the ice maker 300, and generating a completion signal when product manufacturing is completed to generate a product manufacturing start signal to generate the ice maker 300 and a control unit 180 having a discharging signal unit for discharging the vessel by driving the terminating unit for turning off the operation of the vessel and discharging the vessel.

The screen unit 140 consists of a touchable liquid crystal panel display and a product image displayed on the display. When a specific product image on the screen unit is touched, the control unit recognizes it, moves the container, and then ice is supplied from the ice maker 300 . A series of processes are executed so that the topping material is discharged.

The ice making unit 300 includes an oil storage tank 310 in which condensed milk is stored, and an ice making drum 330 that cools a water film formed on the surface while rotating in a state partially submerged in the storage tank 310 to be frozen by cooling means 320 . ), a cutting part 340 installed around the ice-making drum 330 to cut the frozen surface formed on the ice-making drum 330 in a fine powder form, and water is sprayed on the surface of the ice-making drum 330 to make ice. It is configured to include a cleaning unit 350 for cleaning the surface of the drum (330).

An appropriate amount of condensed milk and water is mixed in the oil storage tank 310, and an ice film is formed on the surface while the ice making drum 330 is cooled to below the freezing point and rotates.

The cutting part 340 is disposed to be spaced apart from the surface of the ice-making drum 330 with a predetermined gap.

As the ice-making drum 330 rotates, the ice film gradually thickens to a predetermined thickness, passes through the cutting part 340, is cut in the form of snowflakes, and then falls and is put into the container.

It is formed on the inside of the product outlet 120, the ultraviolet sterilization unit 170 for sterilizing and sterilizing the container (V) and its contents by irradiating ultraviolet rays; may further include.

The ultraviolet sterilization unit 170 includes a light source unit emitting UV-C or UV-A.

That is, it is configured to include a UV-A generator mounted on a portion of the sidewall of the frame installed around the upper portion of the container, and a UV-C generator mounted on the other portion of the sidewall.

UV-A refers to ultraviolet rays having a wavelength range of 315 to 400 nm. Since the absorption by ozone is small, the energy reaching the surface is large, but the adverse effect on living things is small.

UV-C has the characteristic of producing a sterilizing effect by preventing their reproduction by changing the DNA of the microorganisms, rather than killing the microorganisms.

UV rays are effective against most microorganisms such as bacteria, spores, viruses, protozoa, nematode eggs, and algae. The effective wavelength is between 200 and 280 nm (UV-C), just below visible light and soft X-rays.

254nm has the best sterilization power. Both low-pressure and high-pressure lamps are used for lamps, but high-pressure lamps have low energy efficiency.

In particular, it is important to secure the safety of LED UV-C, so for this purpose, it is applied as a 2~10 mW low power energy light output specification.

In addition, it is designed not to be irradiated to the human body by applying the closed and sealed structure design characteristics of the LED UV-C optical module.

The design complements the light irradiation angle and light leakage (light exposure and light leakage) for UV LED-A and UV LED-C.

Preferably, a domestic LED chip that has passed the standard product safety certification and certification test is applied. As an example, the product name: semicom light (Seoul Semiconductor) is applied.

The UV-C generator is applied with a 10-100 mW low-power energy light output specification.

Among the 100~280nm wavelength band, especially the 260~280nm wavelength LED UV C is applied.

Looking at the principle of sterilization of viruses and bacteria in the air of LED UV-C, when UV-C light is irradiated, the part where thymine is bonded among the four bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine) that make up the bacterial gene (DNA) is mutually exclusive. get stuck

Bacteria do not die immediately, but even if they are still alive, their DNA is modified, so they cannot make proteins, and eventually, cell proliferation becomes impossible and they die slowly.

The shorter the wavelength (the higher the frequency), the stronger the electromagnetic wave and the higher the energy. UV-C has enough energy to shake up the DNA of bacteria.
