Abstract:
A beverage maker including a hinge shaft, a fermentation tank having a space therein and configured to rotatably support the hinge shaft, a fermentation lid connected to the hinge shaft through a bracket and rotating about the hinge shaft to open and close the space, and at least one tube through which a fluid passes, wherein a hinge shaft accommodating space accommodating the at least one tube is defined inside the hinge shaft, and at least one hinge shaft hole through which the at least one tube extends to the outside of the hinge shaft space is defined in the hinge shaft to minimize damage or contamination of the at least one tube and allow the at least one tube to be minimally visible when the fermentation lid is opened.
Abstract:
A fermenter may include a fermentation container having a fermentation space in which a beverage is fermented and a first gas passage communicating with the fermentation space, and a fermentation lid opening and closing the fermentation container and having a second gas passage. When the fermentation lid closes the fermentation container, a gas chamber communicating with each of the first gas passage and the second gas passage is provided between the fermentation container and the fermentation lid.
Abstract:
A drinking water supply device may include a first channel configured to channel water, a water discharge pipe coupled to the rear end of the first channel configured to discharge the drinking water, a first connection pipe connecting the first channel and the water discharge pipe, a second channel configured to supply minerals to the first connection pipe, the second channel provided with a pressure sensor and a mineral supply valve, a mineral container configured to communicate with the first connection pipe via the second channel and configured to store condensed minerals, a pump configured to pressurize the interior of the mineral container to discharge the condensed minerals out of the mineral container, and a controller configured to control the mineral supply valve to open for a first predetermined time and then close according to a water discharge signal.
Abstract:
A mineral water supply module may include a water supply pipe configured to supply water in a first direction, a mineral supply pipe configured to supply minerals in a second direction, a discharge pipe configured to discharge water or mineral water in the first direction, a resistance body case configured to connect to the mineral supply pipe and including a resistance body defining a micro channel in which minerals flow in the second direction, and a connector configured to connect the water supply pipe and the discharge pipe such that the resistance body case is provided between the water supply pipe and the discharge pipe and configured to allow the mixing of water from the water supply pipe and minerals from the resistance body case.
Abstract:
A beverage maker includes a fermentation module, a gas discharge channel connected to the fermentation module, a gas discharge valve connected to the gas discharge channel, a storage tank connected to the gas discharge value and provided with a space capable of accommodating gas therein, an actuator configured to inject gas collected in the space of the storage tank to the fermentation module through the gas discharge channel, a gas pressure sensor connected before the gas discharge valve in a gas flow direction in the gas discharge channel, and a controller configured to control the gas discharge valve and the actuator based on a pressure value of the gas pressure sensor.
Abstract:
A beverage maker may include a fermentation tank including a space in which a beverage is made, a refrigerant cycle device to cool the fermentation tank, a temperature sensor to detect a temperature of the fermentation tank, and a controller to drive the refrigerant cycle device to decrease a temperature of the fermentation tank which accommodates a mixture including an ingredient of the beverage to a fermentation temperature while the beverage is being made, to stop driving of the refrigerant cycle device when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor reaches a first step temperature of a plurality of step temperatures set higher than the fermentation temperature, and to re-drive the refrigerant cycle device after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.
