Description

  The present invention relates to a water server with an ice making device using the Internet, GPS, and IT equipment. More specifically, the present invention is installed indoors where a large number of people gather, such as in homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals, or public facilities. The present invention relates to a water server with an ice making device that provides delicious natural water to server users and provides delicious ice made from natural water.

Japan was once blessed with lush mountain fields, rivers and springs with cool water, and “delicious water” could be used freely and abundantly as drinking water or water for daily life. However,
In recent years, chronic water shortages have become serious due to urbanization and global warming, etc., and water pollution by chemical substances such as agricultural chemicals and synthetic detergents has progressed, so tap water has a strong odor of chlorine used for disinfection, Drinking water is no longer a safe and delicious drink.

  For this reason, famous waters such as well-known spring water and deep sea water from all over the country have been named “000 delicious natural waters” in recent years and are placed in plastic bottles and various containers to drink tea and coffee. It is sold with. These can be purchased at stores such as the Internet, supermarkets, convenience stores, etc., and can also be purchased at vending machines.

  Furthermore, in recent years, information that a large amount of water intake is indispensable for prevention of adult disease onset and health maintenance management has been advertised by the mass media etc., for example, the water intake required by adults is about 1 day, It is said to be 2L. Therefore, many people consciously replenish water constantly at home, at work, at school, and so on.

  Under the above-mentioned social situation, a so-called water server business in which a general user can drink a desired amount of cold water or hot water free of charge with a water server has been rapidly developed, particularly in the suburbs of cities. An overview of the water server business is that, in general, water servers are rented to water server installers from drinking water distributors for free or at a low charge, and drinking water distributors and server installers are charged with beverages loaded into servers. A contract is made for the price and purchase amount of water, and the drinking water distributor delivers a water bottle filled with a predetermined amount of drinking water at regular intervals based on the contract.

  Many proposals have been made on water servers in order to eliminate the above-mentioned changes in the social environment and various problems and problems of the servers. However, there have been few proposals regarding water servers that provide delicious natural water to many general users and also provide delicious ice to users. There is only Patent Document 1 (see FIG. 1, page 1). The “ice dispenser device” of Patent Document 1 has an object to provide an ice dispenser device that can provide a frozen beverage while using existing equipment, and is provided alongside a drinking water dispenser device that provides drinking water. In an ice dispenser device that provides ice produced by an ice maker, an ice discharging mechanism and an ice pulverizer for supplying a cup with the crushed ice and a portion of the ice produced by the ice maker, and drinking water A part of carbonated water and syrup is introduced from the dispenser device, and a second carbonated water supply pipe and a second syrup supply pipe for supplying the introduced carbonated water and syrup to the cup are provided.

  However, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the ice dispenser device 30 is attached to the drinking water dispenser 10 of the existing equipment, and the drinking water dispenser device 10 and the ice dispenser device 30 are composed of the second carbonated water. The supply pipe 421 and the second syrup supply pipe 431 communicate with each other. For this reason, a mounting table having a wide width is required, and the user of the “ice dispenser device” of Patent Document 1 uses the operation panel 13 and the sales button 33. By operating, ice, syrup, carbonated water, or the like is selected, which is a cumbersome operation for the user.

  Moreover, the ice maker of the refrigerator mainly used in a general home injects a predetermined amount of tap water or mineral water in a PET bottle into a water supply tank, and makes ice in the freezer compartment. However, every time the water in the water supply tank runs out, the troublesome work of opening the refrigerator door, taking out the water supply tank from the interior, pouring water into the water supply tank, storing it in the freezer compartment again, and making ice is performed. It is repeating.

  Further, Patent Document 2 (see FIG. 2, page 1) shown in FIG. 7 shows a water server that has been used conventionally, and drinking water is put in a hard resin bottle and distributed to the water server installer. The water server installer or the drinking water distributor (distributor) sets a bottle containing drinking water on top of the water server. And when a user drinks water, if the manual operation lever of a water server is pushed, it is an apparatus with which drinking water is supplied.

  However, in the case of a water server that supplies drinking water to a bottle shown in Patent Document 2 and supplies it to a user, when the bottle becomes empty, the drinking water distributor (delivery company) collects it and creates a new beverage. It is filled with water and supplied again to the water server installer. Therefore, the problem that it takes time and effort to collect the bottle, the securing of a space for storing the used bottle, and the problem of hygiene due to repeated use of the bottle are derived.

  In addition, since the bottle material is often made of hard resin polycarbonate, harmful substances may be eluted, and air may enter the cold water tank due to structural problems, and bacteria may grow in the tank. There were various problems.
