The control unit can compare the spectrum analyzed by the spectroscopic sensor with the set spectrum to determine the degree of contamination.
The set spectrum may be different depending on the type of the drink received from the input unit.
It is possible to further include a storage unit in which a spectrum set differently depending on the type of beverage is stored.
And a water level sensor provided in the housing for sensing the level of the beverage, and when the water level measured by the water level sensor is between the light source and the spectroscopic sensor, the pollution level measuring unit may be driven.
And a sterilizing unit provided inside the housing for performing ultraviolet sterilization.
When the sterilization is performed by the sterilizing unit, the controller can inform the notification unit to discharge the beverage contained in the housing from the housing.
The control unit may drive the sterilizing unit when it is determined that the pollution degree measuring unit is driven and contaminated.
According to another aspect of the present invention, Notifying the user of the pollution degree by the notification unit; Receiving a signal to perform sterilization if the pollution degree is different from the set value; And driving the sterilizing unit.
It is possible to perform the step of driving the pollution degree measurement unit when power is supplied from the external power source.
The step of driving the sterilizing part may be performed while electric power is supplied from the external power source to the sterilizing part.
It is possible to further include, after the step of driving the sterilizing section, notifying by the notification section to discharge the beverage from the housing.
It is possible to perform the step of driving the pollution degree measuring unit when the level of the beverage sensed by the water level sensor is higher than a certain level.
The step of driving the pollution degree measurement unit may drive a light source and drive a spectroscopic sensor that receives and analyzes the light emitted from the driven light source.
According to the present invention, the user can be informed of the contamination degree of the beverage stored in the beverage storage container or the beverage storage container, and the user can grasp the cleaning time of the beverage storage container according to the degree of contamination of the beverage storage container or the beverage, .
Further, according to the present invention, the beverage storage container can be easily sterilized, thereby providing convenience to the user for cleaning and the like.
