所述储水装置1还包括连接于所述盖体114上的进水管，即所述盖体114所在的一端为所述进水端111，一方面，能够将所述外界水源的水输送至所述储水腔12内；另一方面，在用户需要清洗储水腔12或者更换所述分水盘13时，只需将本体113自盖体114上取下即可，不需要考虑所述进水管的拆卸，比较方便。
所述分水盘13将所述储水腔12分割为朝向所述进水端111的进水腔以及朝向所述出水端112的出水腔，即所述储水腔12位于所述分水盘13与所述进水端111之间的为所述进水腔，所述储水腔12位于所述分水盘13与所述出水端112之间的为所述出水腔。
所述分水盘13能够在所述进水端111与所述出水端112之间移动，可以理解的，在所述分水盘13移动时，所述进水腔与所述出水腔也相应发生改变。
在初次使用时，所述分水盘13位于进水端111，在用户打开所述出水端112的阀门后，外界水源的水自所述进水端111高速流入所述进水腔内并冲击在所述分水盘13上，一方面，进水驱动所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动，同时，所述分水盘13挤压所述出水腔内的冷水自所述出水端112流出，供用户取用；另一方面，在所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动的过程中，自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水不会与所述出水腔内的冷水混合，从而用户能够取用到需要的温度的冷水。
具体地，本实施方式中，所述分水盘13朝向所述进水端111的一面为凹弧面，在用户打开所述出水端112的水阀取水时，外界水源的水自进水端111高速流入所述进水腔内并冲击在所述分水盘13的凹弧面上，进水在冲击到分水盘13的凹弧面后形成朝向所述进水端111方向的湍流，使进入所述进水腔内的水不会与出水腔内的冷水混合，增强所述分水盘13防水混合的效果；同时，更有利于所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112的移动，从而挤压所述出水腔内的冷水自所述出水端112流出，供用户取用。
进一步地，所述分水盘13朝向所述出水端112的一面与所述分水盘13朝向所述进水端111的一面形状相同，即所述分水盘13朝向所述出水端112的一面为凸弧面，从而有利于所述分水盘13在进水的驱动下自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动。
所述驱动件14用以在所述分水盘13向所述出水端112移动后驱动所述分水盘13复位 至所述进水端111。
进一步地，所述分水盘13的外缘与所述外壳11的内壁之间具有供水穿过的间隙，在用户取水完毕，所述驱动件14驱动所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端111的过程中，自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水能够穿过所述间隙流入至所述出水腔内，一方面，便于所述驱动件14将所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端；另一方面，在所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端111后，所述出水腔内处于满水的状态，为下次用户取水做好准备。
具体的，所述分水盘13的外缘与所述外壳11的内壁之间的间隙的宽度介于1mm～2mm之间，一方面，使所述分水盘13能够顺畅地在所述进水端111与所述出水端112之间移动，且能够防止在所述分水盘13自进水端向所述出水端112移动的过程中自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水与所述出水腔内的冷水混合，使用户能够取用冷水；另一方面，在所述驱动件14驱动所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端111的过程中，自进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水能够自所述间隙进入所述出水腔内，以使所述驱动件14能够驱动所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端，且在所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端后，所述出水腔内呈满水的状态，为用户下次取水做准备。
同时，所述分水盘13的外缘形状与所述外壳11的截面相同，以使自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的进水对所述分水盘13表面的冲击力比较均匀，增强所述分水盘13移动的稳定性。
具体的，所述驱动件14为连接所述分水盘13与所述进水端111和/或所述出水端112的弹簧，所述弹簧的形变方向与所述分水盘13的移动方向相同；所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动后，所述弹簧作用于所述分水盘13上使所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端111。
本实施方式中，所述弹簧连接于所述分水盘13与所述出水端112，在用户取水使进水驱动所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动时，所述弹簧处于压缩状态，在用户关闭所述出水端112的阀门即取水完毕后，所述分水盘13停止向所述出水端112所在的方向移动，且在所述弹簧的弹性回复力的作用下，所述分水盘13复位至所述进水端111，同时，在所述分水盘13向所述进水端111移动的过程中，自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水能够穿过间隙流入至所述出水腔内。
进一步的，所述储水装置1还包括设于所述储水腔12内且沿所述分水盘13的移动方向延伸的导向轴15，所述分水盘13上贯穿设有与所述导向轴15相配合的轴孔131，通过所述轴孔131与所述导向轴15的配合，将所述分水盘13固定于所述储水腔12内，同时能够引导所述分水盘13的移动方向，使所述分水盘13在所述进水端111与所述出水端112之间移动。
进一步的，所述分水盘13的至少一侧设有与所述轴孔131相连通的用以套设于所述导向轴15上的套筒132，以防止所述分水盘13在进水端111与出水端112之间移动时产生倾 斜现象。
具体的，所述弹簧套设于所述导向轴15上，以防止所述弹簧在形变过程中出现歪斜，增强所述分水盘13移动的稳定性。
进一步地，所述外壳11上靠近所述出水端112的一侧向外凸设有与所述储水腔12相连通的出水槽16，所述分水盘13移动至所述出水端112后，所述出水槽16与所述进水腔以及所述出水腔均相连通，从而，在用户取水且将所述出水腔内的冷水取尽后，即所述分水盘13移动至所述出水端112后，自进水端111进入所述进水腔的水能够自所述出水槽16进入所述出水腔内供用户取用，使用户能够正常取水，不会出现断水的现象。
综上所述，本发明的储水装置1在储水腔内设置将所述储水腔分割为朝向所述进水端的进水腔以及朝向所述出水端的出水腔的分水盘13，且在进水端111进水时，进水能够驱动所述分水盘13向出水端移动，在所述分水盘13自所述进水端111向所述出水端112移动的过程中一方面，所述分水盘13挤压所述出水腔内的冷水自所述出水端112流出，供用户取用；另一方面，自所述进水端111进入所述进水腔内的水冲击到分水盘13的凹弧面后形成朝向所述进水端111方向的湍流，使进水不会与所述出水腔内的冷水混合，从而用户能够取用到需要的温度的冷水。
