Specifically, the coil evaporator 803 is sequentially wound around the cold water tank 200 and the bubble water tank 300 (ie, the evaporator coil outside the cold water tank 200 and the evaporator coil outside the bubble water tank 300 are arranged in series), when compressed When the machine 801 is in operation, the coil type evaporator 803 simultaneously cools the cold water tank 200 and the bubble water tank 300. If the user only drinks cold water for a period of time without using bubble water, the compressor 801 will restart to synchronize the cold water tank 200 and the bubble water tank 300 each time the fresh water tank 200 is filled with new normal temperature water. During this process, since the bubble water tank 300 is always loaded with low-temperature bubble water that is not taken by the user, the temperature of the liquid therein continuously decreases, and when the temperature of the liquid in the bubble water tank 300 reaches the freezing point, it freezes. In turn, the bubble water tank 300 is caused to burst.

Based on the problem that the water temperature may be too cold in the bubble water tank 300 described above, when the refrigerating apparatus synchronously cools the cold water tank 200 and the bubble water tank 300, the bubble water tank 300 needs to be subjected to supercooling protection.

Preferably, a bubble tank temperature probe T2 and a controller are added in the beverage machine, and the bubble tank temperature probe T2 is used to sense the temperature of the liquid in the bubble water tank 300, and the controller is configured to: receive the temperature sensor from the bubble tank The gas tank of T2 detects the liquid temperature, and controls the compressor 801 to be shut down when the liquid tank detecting liquid temperature is lower than the tank temperature lower threshold. Thus, the liquid temperature in the bubble water tank 300 is measured by the bubble tank temperature sensing probe T2 (ie, the gas The tank detects the liquid temperature and feeds back to the controller, and the controller compares the tank detection liquid temperature with a preset threshold of the tank temperature. When the tank detection liquid temperature is lower than the tank temperature threshold, it is determined to be bubble water. The tank 300 is subjected to over-cooling protection, and the controller controls the compressor to be shut off so that the low-temperature refrigerant no longer flows into the coil evaporator 803, so that the coil evaporator 803 can no longer cool the bubble water tank 300 to reduce the inside thereof. The liquid temperature, in this way, can effectively avoid the situation in which the bubble water tank 300 appears to freeze into ice, which is advantageous for improving the reliability of the bubble water tank 300 and even the whole machine.

In addition, in the supercooling protection mode of the bubble water tank 300, a supercooled drain line (generally disposed at the bottom of the bubble water tank 300) and the bubble tank temperature sensing probe T2 may be disposed on the bubble water tank 300, and the bubble tank sense The temperature probe T2 is used for sensing the temperature of the liquid in the bubble water tank 300.

Of course, in order to slow down the temperature of the normal temperature water and the cold water, a cold tank baffle may be disposed in the cold water tank 200, and the cold tank of the cold tank water supply pipeline L1 extends into the pipe section in a long strip shape, and the cold tank baffle plate is set.

However, since the radial through hole 91 is provided only for exhausting, and is not for discharging, the diameter of the radial through hole 91 can be set small, for example, about 1 mm. In addition, an openable and closable vent hole may be opened in the upper portion of the cold water tank 200. When the liquid is first introduced into the cold water tank 200, the vent hole is opened for discharging the air in the cold water tank 200.

It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 12A, FIG. 12B and FIG. 19, the temperature of the liquid in the bubble water tank 300 is generally lower than the water temperature above, and therefore, the water inlet end of the bubble water outlet pipe L4 is arranged in the bubble. The bottom of the water tank 300 not only ensures sufficient water pressure of the outlet water, but also ensures preferential discharge of bubble water having a lower temperature. The same is true for arranging the water inlet end of the bubble tank water supply line L2 at the bottom of the cold water tank 200. In addition, a cold tank temperature sensing probe T1 for detecting the water temperature in the tank in real time is provided in the cold water tank 200; a bubble tank temperature sensing probe T2 for detecting the water temperature in the tank in real time is provided in the bubble water tank 300, and the water level in the tank is detected in real time.

And the corresponding pipeline (such as the bubble tank water supply pipeline L2, the bubble water outlet pipeline L4, etc.) bursts, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the whole machine operation. In addition, when the water level in the bubble water tank 300 sensed by the bubble tank water level probe W1 is smaller than the threshold value of the preset water level of the bubble tank, the boosting pump 500 is controlled to press the cold water in the cold water tank 200 into the bubble water tank 300. Further, the bubble water is prepared, so that it is possible to prevent the bubble water from being insufficient when the user needs to drink the bubble water.

Preferably, a nozzle is provided at the insertion end of the bubble tank water supply line L2 which protrudes into the bubble water tank 300, so that the liquid entering the bubble water tank 300 is sprayed, so that the liquid in the bubble water tank 300 is not disturbed. The temperature field can also increase the dissolution rate of carbon dioxide in the liquid, so that the output bubble water has better water temperature and better drinking taste.

Further, referring to FIG. 12B and FIG. 19, a slow flow plate 304 for receiving water is provided in the bubble water tank 300, and the slow flow plate 304 is located directly below the water inlet of the bubble water tank 300, thus, water is supplied from the bubble tank.

Thus, the contact area of the liquid and the gas can be effectively increased, and the dissolution rate of the carbon dioxide in the liquid is also improved. The resulting bubble water also has a better water temperature and a better taste for drinking.
