Abstract: In order to make temperature distribution more uniform to save energy, a simulation model of the temperature distribution inside the cabinet of the cold beverage vending machine was established, and it had been used to analyze and optimize the temperature distribution of the cold beverage vending machine. Research results show that the cold beverage vending machine optimized by the model has more uniform temperature field, in which the temperature range narrows from (1.38~7.77) oC to (0.05~3.98) oC. The simulation result agrees with experimental data, and it can reflect the variation trend of the temperature distribution.
