Description

Beverage rapid cooling device

The present invention relates to a rapid cooling device for a beverage, and more particularly to a rapid cooling device for a beverage, which can rapidly reduce the temperature of a beverage and have a uniform temperature effect, thereby maintaining the flavor and taste of the beverage.

According to statistics, Taiwan consumes about 1.02 billion cups of hand-cranked beverages a year, and it also develops huge business opportunities. In summer, a hand-cranked beverage has become a common sight on the streets. According to statistics from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the beverage industry has become the industry with the most stable growth in the catering industry category in the past year's commercial turnover statistics. The summer single-month turnover is more than NT $ 3.5 billion. In order to cope with the huge business opportunities, how to maintain a certain flavor and taste of the brewed beverage is also a major issue for the hand-cranked beverage industry.

As we all know, if you want to maintain a certain level of flavor and taste of the beverage, it is very important to maintain its original flavor by a certain proportion when brewing, especially the cold beverages must not only maintain the original flavor, but also have proper cold temperature. However, in order to cope with a large number of customers, if you add ice cubes to the brewed beverage to cool it for a short time, it will dilute the beverage and make the taste of the beverage worse. If you wait for it to cool, you will not be able to cope with a large number of customers. At present, there is no machine equipment for cooling beverages in a short time. Therefore, it is common for hand-cranked beverage shops to wait for cooling to keep consumers lining up. In view of this, the applicant has, after continuous research and experimentation, designed a rapid cooling device for beverages, which can rapidly reduce the temperature of the beverage and have a uniform temperature effect, and can maintain the flavor and taste of the beverage.
