Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a water heater for a bus that is installed in a bus vehicle and used to boil water and serve passengers.

``Prior Art'' Traditionally, buses were equipped with water heaters to serve tea to passengers. In addition, a sake warmer was provided separately from the water heater to warm the sake for passengers. It is not a good idea to install something like this in a narrow vehicle, and the cost is high.

``Means for solving the problem'' This idea makes it possible to warm sake using a bath water heater.

In other words, the top of the water heater tank is open, a water boiling lid is provided to cover the open surface, and an auxiliary sake sake container is provided within the tank that protrudes from the uppermost liquid level of the water in the tank. The auxiliary container has an opening at the top, and is configured so that alcohol can be poured through the opening with the kettle lid removed, and the lid for the auxiliary container also serves as the kettle lid,
Further, a valve is provided to allow the liquor in the auxiliary container to be taken out to the outside without being mixed with the water in the tank.

When the water in the tank is boiled as a water heater, and sake is poured into the auxiliary sake sake container in that state, the sake in the auxiliary sake sake container is warmed by the hot water in the tank. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate sake brewer.

``Example'' Figures 1 and 2 show an example of this invention.
In this example, the case 11 has a rectangular tube shape, and the second
As shown in the figure, one side of the interior is divided into left and right halves by a partition wall 12 extending vertically, and in the narrower space, a cup 13 is housed one on top of the other, and is held by a retaining spring 14 at the lower end. They can be taken out one by one from the bottom tip.

The upper side of the case 11 is open, and a pot lid 15 and a kettle lid 16 are provided to cover both sides separated by a partition wall 12 so as to be openable and closable.
A tank 1 is placed in a larger space separated by a partition wall 12.
7 is accommodated, and a heat insulating layer 1 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tank 17.
8 is wrapped around it. The top surface of the tank 17 is open, and water 19 can be poured into the tank 17 by opening the water boiling lid 16.

A heating means 21 such as a heater is provided on the lower side of the bottom plate of the tank 17 in contact therewith, and can boil the water 19 in the tank 17 to hot water. tank 1
A hot water valve 22 is provided which communicates with the bottom plate 7 and discharges hot water from the tank to the outside.

In this invention, an auxiliary container for sake sake is arranged inside the tank 17. The upper end of the auxiliary container 24 substantially coincides with the upper opening of the tank 17. Auxiliary container 2
The upper surface of 4 is also an opening. By opening the kettle lid 16, alcohol can be supplied into the auxiliary container 24 separately from the tank 17. That is, the lid 16 for boiling water also serves as a lid for the auxiliary container 24. As a matter of course, the auxiliary container 24 should protrude from the uppermost liquid level of the water 19 in the tank 17 to prevent the water 19 in the tank 17 from being mixed with the sake in the auxiliary container 24. It is set in . A discharge pipe 2 is attached to the lower end of the auxiliary container 24.
5 are communicated with each other, and a discharge pipe 25 protrudes outward from the sides of the tank 17 and the case 11, and a valve 26 is attached to the protruding end. By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 26, the liquor in the auxiliary container 24 is transferred to the tank 1.
It can be separated from the water in 7 and taken out. Note that the auxiliary container 24 is held within the tank 17 by a support fitting 27.

With this structure, water 19 is poured into the tank 17 to the extent that more than half of it contacts the auxiliary container 24, the water 19 is heated by the heating means 21 to make hot water, and in this state, the sake 28 is poured into the auxiliary container 24. When poured, the hot water 19 warms the sake 28 via the auxiliary container 24, that is, the sake is heated appropriately. This heated sake can be separated from the hot water 19 and taken out to the outside by controlling the valve 26. Of course, the hot water 19 is taken out separately from the liquor 28 by controlling the hot water valve 22.

``Effects of the invention'' As mentioned above, according to this invention, an auxiliary container for sake warming is provided in the water boiling tank, and by pouring sake into this auxiliary container, the hot water from the water heater can be used to warm the sake. can do. In other words, there is no need for a dedicated sake-warming device, and the water heater itself can be made to warm sake without the need to increase its size by making slight modifications. Therefore, it occupies less space than when a water boiler and a sake brewer are provided, and the overall price is also lower. Moreover, it is often necessary to boil water and to warm sake at almost the same time on a bus, so there is no need to do something pointless like boiling water just to warm sake. .
