Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a cleaning module-integrated beverage dispensing head, capable of selectively providing a cleaning function in addition to a conventional beverage dispensing function. A cleaning module-integrated beverage dispensing head includes a gas distributor (200) outputting a gas flowed in, and a pulse generator (100) receiving a supply of the gas supplied via a hose (300). The gas distributor (200) includes a first gas outlet (220) discharging the gas to the pulse generator (100), a second gas outlet (230) discharging the gas to a container (C) for storing liquid, an internal structure (200a) that is rotatable, and an external structure (200b) that is coupled to the internal structure (200a), to control rotation of the internal structure (200a). Whether or not to supply the gas to the pulse generator (100) through the first gas outlet (220) is determined according to whether or not the internal structure (200a) rotates.
