以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本发明进行详细描述。但这些实施方式并不限制本发明，本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构、方法、或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
在本发明的各个图示中，为了便于图示，结构或部分的某些尺寸会相对于其它结构或部分扩大，因此，仅用于图示本发明的主题的基本结构。

本发明公开了一种冰箱，冰箱包括具有制冷间室的箱体和可打开地连接于所述箱体的门体，门体的打开方式可以是绕轴枢转，也可以是推拉。
为了满足用户日益多样化的饮水需求，在本发明所提供的实施例中，冰箱包括可制取常温饮料、高温饮料、热水、冰水的饮水装置100。在本发明提供的优选实施方式中，饮水装置100为一个可整体嵌入门体的模块，包括外部框体4，参见图1所示。
参见图2所示，为方便描述，将外部框体4省略，饮水装置100包括与外部水源相连的水壶，水壶用于存储和向与水壶相连的放水管路供应饮用水。在本实施例中，饮水装置100包括第一水壶10和第二水壶，其中第一水壶10设于门体中，用于供饮水装置100制取热饮、温饮及热水，而第二水壶设置于冷藏室中，以利用冷藏室的冷气将水温保持在较低的温度，供用户取用冰水。当然，第二水壶的位置也可以设置在门体的制冰模块中，制冰模块具有独立于冷藏室的单独的送风和回风风道，第二水壶可设置于制冰模块内以快速获得冰水。
为了获得较为纯净的饮用水，本实施例中的饮水装置100还包括过滤器，过滤器设于外接自来水和第一水壶10、第二水壶之间，使得流向第一水壶10、第二水壶的水已经得到过滤净化。
结合图1和图2所示，饮水装置100还包括设置于放水管路末端的分配器3，分配器3设于门体上，其上设置有出水口，以便用户接取饮用。分配器3凹设于门体上，其上设有出水口和与出水口相对设置的接水盘31。
参见图3所示，与第一水壶10、第二水壶相对应地，饮水装置100中的放水管路包括与第一水壶10相连的第一水路1，以及与第二水壶相连的第二水路2。分配器3设有与第二水路2连通的出水口，如此，储存于第二水壶的冰水流经第二水路2，并由所述出水口流出，供用户随时取用。
参见图4所示，相对而言，第一水路1由于需要制备饮料，其路径对比第二水路2较为复杂。具体地说，第一水路1至少与饮料酿造室14相连。在本实施例中，饮料酿造室14设置于第一水路1远离第一水壶10的一端，饮料酿造室14具有出口，该出口与设置于分配器3上的饮料出口相连通。
饮料酿造室14内设有收容饮料粉胶囊的胶囊托和用于刺破所述胶囊的胶囊刺破结构。饮料粉胶囊为市售的盛装有饮料粉的胶囊，一般用一次就可丢弃，可以是咖啡胶囊，也可以是茶粉胶囊，或者其他果汁粉末的胶囊。本发明以咖啡胶囊举例说明，胶囊刺破结构可响应用户的制取咖啡的指令，可操作地运动以刺破容置于胶囊托中的咖啡胶囊，然后复位以待下一次刺破指令。在每次咖啡冲泡结束以后，咖啡胶囊可被从胶囊托中取出以用新的咖啡胶囊替换。其中，有关胶囊刺破结构，由于是现有胶囊咖啡机中比较通用的常规技术，因而可参考现有技术进行理解，此处不作赘述。
如此，第一水路1至少可制得常温饮料如常温咖啡。当然，为了使饮料具有更佳的风味，比如在咖啡的制取温度、浓稠度以及冲泡力度上如有更多选择，将会使本发明中具有饮水装置100的冰箱获得更多用户的青睐。
在本发明的第二实施方式中，饮水装置100还包括设置在第一水壶10和饮料酿造室14之间的集成模块17，所述集成模块17包括流量计11、水泵12和加热器13的其中一种、任意两种或全部。集成模块17设于分配器3的背部。
参见图5所示，流量计11设于第一水壶10的出口处，用于适时地计算从第一水壶10流出的饮用水量，以响应用户对于冲泡水量的控制要求。其中，用户针对冲泡浓度的需求信息，可以通过设置在分配器3上的用户界面 进行输入，用户界面接收到需求信息后，会即刻生成需求信息的代表信号，而由同样设置于分配器3的控制器根据该代表信号控制该饮水装置100。
举例来说，当接收到用户所需求的浓度信息比如冲泡的用水量信息时，用户界面生成水量信息的代表信号，控制器根据该代表信号控制流量计11的启闭，当流经流量计11的水量达到目标值时，控制器控制流量计11切断第一水路1的流通，只允许适量的水流进入饮料酿造室14，从而满足用户对饮料浓度的要求。
当然，用户界面还可接收用户对于饮水装置100的其他需求信息，比如对冲泡温度和冲泡压力的选择，而生成相应的代表信号，使得控制器根据代表信号做出相应的调节和控制。
在本发明所提供的优选实施例中，集成模块17还包括设于第一水路1上的水泵12，水泵12设置于流量计11之后、饮料酿造室14之前，用于对饮用水进行加压，以提高饮料冲泡的力度。水泵12的增设有利于激发饮料的风味，特别是当冲泡咖啡时，可通过水泵12调制出醇正的浓缩咖啡。集成模块17连通高压水出水管，该高压水出水管一端连接水泵12，另一端连接饮料酿造室14。在本实施例中，连接饮料酿造室14的高压水出水管所在的水路为第一水路1的分支，即常温饮料支路161，所述常温饮料支路161绕过加热器13(或与加热器13隔离)而直接连通水泵12和饮料酿造室14。经由常温饮料支路161流出分配器3出水口的是常温的经过加压的饮料，可迎合多数年轻人的饮水需求。
在本优选实施例中，所述集成模块17还包括加热器13，所述加热器13设于所述水泵12与所述饮料酿造室14之间，所述集成模块17还接通高温高压水出水管，所述高温高压水出水管连通所述加热器13和所述饮料酿造室14，以向所述饮料酿造室14供应定量的高温高压水。
如前所述，连接水泵12和饮料酿造室14的高压水出水管为常温饮料支路161，而作为主水路的第一水路1则依次流经流量计11、水泵12和加热器13，换句话说，流经水泵12的水可沿第一水路1继续流向加热器13，也可以沿常温饮料支路161即高压水出水管直接接入饮料酿造室14。
为方便控制由水泵12流出的高压水流入加热器13或饮料酿造室14， 本发明中的饮水装置100还包括用于选择器，选择器受控于前述的控制器，而控制器则根据通过用户界面的人机交互而产生的用户需求信息的代表信号而执行相应操作。优选地，选择器为电磁阀，进一步地，选择器为一通二阀，即包括一个进水口和两个出水口，两个出水口分别引导饮用水流向不同的管路。
本实施例中的饮水装置100包括两个选择器，即第一选择器15和第二选择器16，上述设于水泵12和加热器13之间的选择器为第二选择器16，所述第二选择器16用于可选择地控制将经由所述水泵12加压的水直接导入所述饮料酿造室14(常温饮料支路161)，或者导入所述加热器13(第一水路1)。
继续参见图5所示，加热器13与饮料酿造室14之间进一步包括两条水路，一条为作为主水路的第一水路1，经由第一水路1，高温高压水出水管与饮料酿造室14连通，从而冲泡出高温且具有浓郁口感的饮料，如热浓缩咖啡；另一条为热水支路151，高温高压水出水管连通加热器13和分配器3的热水出口，从而供用户直接取用热水，为用户提供另一种纯净的选择。为方便实现以上水路选择，加热器13和饮料酿造室14之间也设置有选择器，此处定义为第一选择器15，第一选择器15与上述第二选择器16相同，包括一个进水口和两个出水口，其一端通过进水口连接加热器13的出水管，另一端通过出水口分别与饮料酿造室14和分配器3管道连接，用于可选择地控制经由所述加热器13加热的水导入所述饮料酿造室14，或者由设于所述分配器3的热水出口直接流出。
综上所述，集成模块17包括顺序连接的流量计11、水泵12、加热器13，集成模块17一端连接第一水壶10，另一端通过第一选择器15可选择将高温高压水注入饮料酿造室14或者热水出口，并可通过第二选择器16将高压水注入饮料酿造室14。在本实施例中，通向饮料酿造室14的高压水管和高温高压水管最终汇集成一条水管，并经由同一饮料出水口由饮料酿造室14流出，即热饮和常温饮料均自同一饮料出水口流出，这样便于控制分配器3所占据的宽度空间。
另外，请返回参看图3，第二水路2与通过第一选择器15直接注入分 配器3热水出口的热水支路151最终也汇集成一条水管，并经由另一个出水口流出。将饮料和纯净水分别由不同的出口导出，是为了防止饮料残留造成纯净水的口味发生改变。
以上，分配器3至少包括两个出水口，一个是供饮料酿造室14流出饮料的出口，另一个是供热水和冰水流出的纯净水出口。而关于同一个出水口不同温度的选择，均是通过设于分配器3上的用户界面输入需求信息，再由控制器根据需求信息的代表信号控制相应的选择器实现。当然，不同温度的饮料也可经由不同的出水口流出。也就是说，也可以设置常温饮料、高温饮料、热水、冰水等四个出口，以便分开取用。
以上，集成模块17集成了流量计11、水泵12、加热器13以及第一选择器15和第二选择器16，当然，集成模块17内也可以只设置流量计11、水泵12和加热器13的其中一种，或者仅包括流量计11和加热器13，也可以仅包括水泵12和加热器13。
参见图6所示，所述集成模块17包括可拆卸连接的两个壳体，比如上盖和下盖，所述流量计11、水泵12和加热器13收容在所述上盖和下盖之间。具体地，集成模块17的壳体内设有卡位结构，以将流量计11、水泵12和加热器13进行良好的定位，避免相互干扰。集成模块17的设置方便了优化功能的集合，可作为单独的模块进行售卖和运输，方便了冰箱整体的装配操作，提高了冰箱的生产效率，节省了人力成本。
如图2至图4所示，在本发明的第一实施方式中，饮水装置100未设置集成模块17，在该实施方式中，流量计11、水泵12和加热器13单独设置，由放水管路将各个组件相串联。由于放水管路的连接方式均与第二实施方式相同，因而针对不包括集成模块17的饮水装置100，可参考第二实施方式中的具体描述，此处不再重复说明。
如前所述，饮水装置100可作为一个整体嵌入到冰箱的门体内，冰箱的门体内设有发泡层以为制冷间室隔绝外界热量。所述饮水装置100设置于门体表面与发泡层之间，以避免第一水壶10过冷，同时避免加热器13无法散热。
参见图7和图8所示，为了改善加热器13的散热效果，分配器3设有 收容加热器13的容纳部30，容纳部30设置于分配器3的背面，即与热水出口相对的一侧。容纳部30设有卡位结构以使加热器13卡设于容纳部30，卡位结构具有多种公知的实施方式，此处不再列举。
关于容纳部30的位置，本发明提供了两个实施方式，参见图7所示，所述热水出口设置于所述分配器3的表面，所述容纳部30靠近所述热水出口设置于所述分配器3背离所述表面的背面。
参见图8所示，在另一种实施方式中，容纳部30’设置在分配器3的接水盘31的背面，其中，接水盘31与热水出口相对，换句话说，热水出口设于分配器3的表面上方，接水盘31设置于分配器3的表面下方，在两个不同的实施方式中，容纳部30’分别设置于热水出口的背面和接水盘31的背面。
优选地，所述容纳部30、30’设置有供所述加热器13散热的散热孔。关于散热孔的数量和排布方式，可以有多种实施方式，此处不再赘述。
综上所述，本发明所提供的饮水装置100，其提供了供应多种饮品的饮水装置100，可以满足一个家庭中不同成员或一个成员不同阶段的饮水需求，大大增强了冰箱的实用性，实现了冰箱的功能多样化，大大改善了用户的使用体验，相比现有技术做出了显著的改进。
另外，在此基础上，针对加热器13的散热问题采取了有效的优化措施，改善了饮水装置100的性能，提高了加热器13和冰箱的使用寿命，降低了维修成本。同时，集成模块17的设计进一步降低了饮水装置100的装配复杂度，提高了冰箱的整体装配效率，节省了生产制造成本。
应当理解，虽然本说明书按照实施方式加以描述，但并非每个实施方式仅包含一个独立的技术方案，说明书的这种叙述方式仅仅是为清楚起见，本领域技术人员应当将说明书作为一个整体，各实施方式中的技术方案也可以经适当组合，形成本领域技术人员可以理解的其他实施方式。
上文所列出的一系列的详细说明仅仅是针对本发明的可行性实施方式的具体说明，它们并非用以限制本发明的保护范围，凡未脱离本发明技艺精神所作的等效实施方式或变更均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
