FIELD: accessories for shops, storehouses, bars.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aqua vending apparatuses, that is to automatic water dispensers by means of automatically controlled water dispensing from water tank, which is located inside the vessel, into container of water purchaser. Technical problem consists in necessity of reduction of dimensions of aqua-vending device without reduction of maximum possible reserve of drinking water in internal water tank and without increase of metal consumption for fabrication of apparatus, so that, first, placing the apparatus in the hypermarket does not require a significant trade area, since traditionally hypermarkets experience a lack of retail space, and secondly, does not require increased metal consumption for production of water tank, which is subject to considerable loads from water contained in it. Aqua vending apparatus in its first embodiment (fig. 1) comprises housing 1, which includes inner vertical partition 7 located parallel to front panel 2. Partition 7 divides housing 1 into two compartments: technical compartment 9 and an internal lateral water tank 10. In compartment 9 there are technical means providing sale and dispensing of water from water tank 10 into container of water purchaser. In lower part of water tank 10 there is protective tube 11 made of light-transmitting material for placement of bactericidal ultraviolet radiation lamp in it. Bottom of water tank 10 is made funnel-shaped with outlet branch pipe, to which pump is connected to supply water into consumer's container. In partition 7 in its upper part there is a hole in which air filter 12 is installed for aerodynamic interaction through this filter of inner air cavity of water 10 with ambient atmosphere. Back wall 3 of housing 1 and dividing partition 7 are made with vertical stiffeners 13, which are interconnected by crossbars 14. Aqua vending apparatus in its second embodiment (Fig. 3) comprises housing 1, which includes inner horizontal partition 7, which divides housing 1 into two compartments: technical compartment 9 and inner lower water aqua reserve tank 10. In compartment 9 there are technical means providing sale and dispensing of water from water tank 10 into container of water purchaser. In lower part of water tank 10 there is protective tube 11 made of light-transmitting material for placement of bactericidal ultraviolet radiation lamp in it. Bottom 4 of vending tank 10 is made funnel-shaped with outlet branch pipe, to which pump is connected for water supply to consumer container. In partition 7 there is a hole, in which air filter 12 is installed for aerodynamic interaction through this filter of the inner air cavity of water tank 10 with the ambient atmosphere. Rear wall 3 and front panel 2 of housing 1, taken vertically in part of vertical dimension of water tank 10, are made with vertical stiffness ribs 13, which are interconnected by crossbars 14. Besides, in partition 7 for visual inspection of internal surface of water tank 10 there is a window tightly closed by plate 17 from light-transmitting material capable to pass light of visual spectrum and to retain light of ultraviolet spectrum.
EFFECT: technical result consists in abandonment of water tank as separate from housing of structural element of aqua-vending device due to laying on part of housing function of water tank with corresponding increase of strength of this part of housing without increasing thickness of metal sheets, of which housing is made.
