釈水と氷の量がそれぞれ一定量に設定されているため、
温度条件によって飲料の温度が異なると、飲料の濃度に
バラツキを生ずるという問題点があった。By the way, when the outside air temperature is high, for example, in the summer season, the temperature of the beverage is high, so that the amount of melting ice increases and the concentration of the beverage decreases.
In addition, when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, the temperature of the beverage is low, so that the amount of ice that melts is small and the concentration of the beverage is high. However, in conventional beverage vending machines, the amount of dilution water and the amount of ice are each set to a fixed amount,
If the temperature of the beverage varies depending on the temperature conditions, there is a problem that the concentration of the beverage varies.

Control means is provided for controlling the dilution water supply means and the ice supply means so as to increase the amount and increase the amount of ice when the detected temperature is high, thereby reducing the amount of dilution water. As a result, when the temperature of the beverage is low and the amount of ice melting is small, the amount of ice is small, and the amount of dilution water is large.When the temperature of the beverage is high and the amount of ice melting is large, the amount of ice is large, The amount of water is reduced.
