Description

一种冰箱 技术领域
本发明涉及冷藏设备领域，特别是涉及一种冰箱。
背景技术
随着使用者对生活质量的追求，对不同种类的冷冻饮品的追求相当强烈。现状是使用者只能在冰箱制取冷饮或者只能在常温状态下制取饮品，好一点的方式是提前在冰箱制取冷饮，然后通过气泡机往冷饮里面打气泡等方式满足对不同种类饮品的需求。这种制取冷饮的方式比较繁琐，使用者需要单独购买气泡机，气泡机存放的位置最好在离冰箱很近的位置，否则带来不便，体验不佳；在制取冷饮时，需要将气泡机的水瓶提前放在冰箱里，而冰箱没有专门的预留空间，随意摆放的位置让使用者觉得体验不佳。
发明内容
本发明的一个目的是要提供一种冰箱，解决制备不同种类冷饮中存在的至少部分技术问题。
本发明一个进一步的目的是使饮品制备模块结构紧凑、增加饮品制备模块在高湿环境下稳定性。
本发明一个进一步的目的是使饮品容易输送。
本发明一个进一步的目的是使不同种类饮品不串味。
特别地，本发明提供了一种冰箱，冰箱设置有饮品制备模块，饮品制备模块包括：
储料部，用于放置制备不同口味饮品的原料；
冰水部，用于提供冰水；
气泡水部，用于从冰水部获取冰水，并基于冰水制备气泡水；
输出部，与冰水部和/或气泡水部连接，用于控制气泡水或冰水流经储料部以输出不同口味的饮品。
可选地，冰水部包括：
水箱，用于存储冰水，位于输出部与气泡水部的上方以在水箱内的冰水的重力作用下分别向输出部和气泡水部输出冰水。
可选地，水箱位于输出部与气泡水部的正上方，气泡水部和输出部并列 位于水箱的正下方，输出部的下方形成输出空间。
可选地，储料部位于输出部的下方。
可选地，气泡水部包括：
二氧化碳容器，二氧化碳容器用于存储二氧化碳；
混合容器，分别从二氧化碳容器和冰水部获取二氧化碳和冰水以制备气泡水，向输出部提供气泡水；其中，混合容器的顶部设置泄压阀。
可选地，输出部设置输入管，输入管的其中一个端部伸入混合容器的底部以在混合容器内的压力下向输出部提供气泡水。
可选地，水箱底部设置与混合容器连通的管道，管道中设置有开关；混合容器内设置有浮子，当混合容器的水位范围不在预定的水位范围内时，浮子控制开关打开或关闭以保证混合容器的水位范围在预定的水位范围内。
可选地，冰箱还包括：
双层门体，饮品制备模块设置于双层门体的内层门限定的空间内，并在双层门体的外层门打开后，显露输出空间。
可选地，输出部还设置有选择开关，选择开关用于按照使用者的操作调节气泡水或冰水流经的原料。
本发明的冰箱设置有饮品制备模块，饮品制备模块包括储料部、冰水部、气泡水部和输出部。储料部用于放置制备不同口味饮品的原料；冰水部用于提供冰水；气泡水部用于从冰水部获取冰水，并根据冰水制备气泡水；输出部与冰水部和/或气泡水部连接，用于控制气泡水或冰水流经储料部以输出不同口味的饮品。由于饮品制备模块的储料部根据使用者的具体需要提供不同口味的原料，冰水部和气泡水部提供两种类型的水，配合输出部的控制，因此，可以组合制备出不同口味的饮品，满足使用者对不同种类饮品的需求。本方案提供的冰箱制备饮品的方式简单，使用者体验效果较佳。
进一步地，本发明的水箱位于输出部与气泡水部的正上方，气泡水部和输出部并列位于水箱的正下方，输出部的下方形成输出空间。这使得饮品制备模块的结构紧凑，缩小体积，节约冰箱空间。
进一步地，本发明的水箱位于输出部和气泡水部的上方，以在水箱内的冰水的重力作用下分别向输出部和气泡水部输出冰水，不需要外部动力即可促使冰水分别输出至输出部和气泡水部。这种设置方式不用设置动力设备，避免动力设备在高湿环境下易损坏，增加饮品制备模块在高湿环境下稳定 性。
进一步地，储料部位于输出部的下方，方便操作，不容易串味。

如图1所示，本实施例提供的冰箱10，其设置有饮品制备模块100，饮品制备模块100包括储料部110、冰水部130、气泡水部120和输出部140。在本实施例中，冰箱10设置饮品制备模块100的具体方式不作限定，例如，饮品制备模块100可以容置于冰箱10的箱体内，可以搭设在冰箱10的冰箱10门上的篮架内，或者设置在冰箱10门上专门预留的支架上。冰箱10具备制冷功能，饮品制备模块100能用于向使用者提供不同口味的冷饮。
储料部110用于放置制备不同口味饮品的原料，储料部110的形状和类型不作具体限定，例如可以是推拉抽屉、带翻盖的抽屉；抽屉内可以设置一个或者多个通道，通道的形状可以是漏斗形、梯形等，不同的通道内存储不同的原料。储料部110的形状可以是方形，梯形，漏斗形。原料口味不作具体限定，例如，可以是咖啡、牛奶或者各种蔬菜水果的浓缩料等。原料的放置形式也不作具体限定，例如可以制备一次加一次，也可制备多次加一次。 原料的形态也不做具体限定，例如，可以是块状、粉末状或者胶囊等。可选的，如果原料的形态为胶囊，饮品制备模块100具备顶针以穿破胶囊，帮助胶囊溶解，顶针的安装位置和安装方式不作具体限定，例如，可以安装在储料部110的翻盖上，在制备饮品时，在关闭翻盖时，顶针刺破胶囊。例如，顶针可以安装在输出部140的输出管上，在制备饮品时，输出管在按压开关的作用下刺破胶囊，在此不作具体限定。储料部110用于根据使用者的具体需要提供不同口味的原料。
冰水部130用于提供冰水；冰水部130的类型不作具体限定，例如，冰水部130可以包括和水管连接的输送管，以及冰块储存器，根据一定设定比例输出冰块和水。
气泡水部120用于从冰水部130获取冰水，并根据冰水制备气泡水。气泡水部120的类型不作具体限定，气泡水制作部用于将二氧化碳和冰水混合制备气泡水。
输出部140与冰水部130和/或气泡水部120连接，用于控制气泡水或冰水流经储料部110以输出不同口味的饮品。输出部140的具体类型不作限定，例如，输出部140可以包括两个容器，两个容器分别与冰水部130和气泡水部120连接，以分别存储冰水和气泡水，两个容器的底部分别开设至少一个输出口，至少一个输出口处分别设置推拉或者按压开关。至少一个输出口与储料部110连接，或者至少一个输出口分别与储料部110内不同通道连接，通过按压开关获取不同口味的饮品。再比如，冰水部130和气泡水部120分别通过多通路的管子或者多个管子与输出部140连接，多个管子分别与不同的通道连接或者与一个通道连接，输出部140具备开关，按压不同的开关以制备不同口味的饮品。
由此可见，饮品制备模块100的储料部110根据使用者的具体需要提供不同口味的原料，冰水部130和气泡水部120提供两种类型的水，配合输出部140的控制，可以组合制备出不同口味的饮品，满足使用者对不同种类饮品的需求。本方案提供的冰箱10制备饮品的方式简单，使用者体验效果较佳。
如图1至图4所示，冰水部130包括水箱131。水箱131用于存储冰水，水箱131位于输出部140与气泡水部120的上方以在水箱131内的冰水的重力作用下分别向输出部140和气泡水部120输出冰水。水箱131的形状不作 具体限定，可根据具体需要设计不同形状的水箱131，例如，为了合理利用空间，根据安装空间的形状设计不同形状的水箱131。在本实施例中，水箱131的形状为矩形。冰箱10具备制冷效果，存储在水箱131内的水可以直接被冷却形成冰水，不需要进一步加工，可以使饮品制备模块100的结构紧凑。水箱131位于输出部140和气泡水部120的上方，以在水箱131内的冰水的重力作用下分别向输出部140和气泡水部120输出冰水，不需要外部动力即可促使冰水分别输出至输出部140和气泡水部120。这种设置方式节约能源，简化饮品制备模块100的结构，不用设置电动力设备，避免电动力设备在高湿环境下易损坏，增加饮品制备模块100在高湿环境下稳定性。
水箱131位于输出部140与气泡水部120的正上方，气泡水部120和输出部140并列位于水箱131的正下方，如图1至图4所示，气泡水部120和输出部140分别位于水箱131的两侧，也即气泡水部120位于图示中水箱131的左侧，输出部140位于图示中水箱131的右侧(这里左右是图示中的左右，仅仅是为了描述方便，并不是实际结构中的方位)；输出部140的下方形成输出空间A。这种设置方式使得使饮品制备模块100的结构紧凑，缩小体积，节约冰箱10空间。同时，这种设置方式使得饮品制备模块100的连接方式简单，例如，水箱131右侧的底部可直接设置不同的输出孔，输出部140的开关直接设置于输出孔处以控制输出。水箱131左侧的底部可直接设置输出管，以向气泡水部120输出冰水。
在一些实施例中，如图1至图4所示，储料部110位于输出部140的下方。方便操作，不容易串味。可选的，储料部110可拆卸地设置于输出部140，方便拆卸和清洗。
在一些实施例中，如图1至图4所示，气泡水部120包括二氧化碳容器121和混合容器122，二氧化碳容器121和混合容器122的类型和形状不作具体限定，可根据冷冻空间或水箱131的形状具体需要改变。二氧化碳容器121用于存储二氧化碳，二氧化碳的具体形态不作限定，可以高压气体。混合容器122分别从二氧化碳容器121和冰水部130获取二氧化碳和冰水以制备气泡水，向输出部140提供气泡水；其中，混合容器122的顶部设置泄压阀123。泄压阀123用于保证混合容器122内的压力在设定范围内，也保证系统的安全性。
在一些实施例中，如图1至图4所示，输出部140设置输入管142，输 入管142的其中一个端部伸入混合容器122的底部以在混合容器122内的压力下向输出部140提供气泡水。输入管142的端部伸入混合容器122的底部以保证有足够的压力向输出部140提供气泡水。这种设置方式节约能源，简化饮品制备模块100的结构，不用设置电气动力设备，避免电气动力设备在高湿环境下易损坏，增加饮品制备模块100在高湿环境下稳定性。
在一些实施例中，如图2所示，水箱131底部设置与混合容器122连通的管道132，管道132中设置有开关133；混合容器122内设置有浮子124。当混合容器122的水位不在预定的水位范围内时，浮子124控制开关133打开或关闭以保证混合容器122的水位范围在预定的水位范围内。开关133的类型不做具体限定，例如，可以是盖板，铰接于管道132侧壁，覆盖于管道132的中空处，水位低于设定范围时，浮子124下浮，盖板从管道132的中空处移开，冰水在重力作用下输送至混合容器122内，使混合容器122的水位增加至预定的水位范围内。水位达到设定范围的上限时，浮子124上浮，对盖板施加向上的压力，盖板移动至可堵塞管道132的流动路径的位置，阻止冰水的输送，使混合容器122的水位稳定在预定的水位范围内。由此可见，水箱131设置在混合容器122的上方、管道132设置开关133、混合容器122内设置有浮子124，这种互相配合的设置方式，可在不增加外在动力设备和电气控制设备的情况下自动调整混合容器122内的水位，节约能源，结构简单，避免电气控制设备在高湿环境下易坏，增加饮品制备模块100在高湿环境下稳定性。
在一些实施例中，如图1至图4所示，冰箱10还包括双层门体，饮品制备模块100设置于双层门的内层门210体限定的空间内，并在双层门体的外层门220打开后，显露输出空间A。饮品制备模块100的这种设置方式方便使用者操作制备不同口味的饮品。
在一些实施例中，输出部140还设置有选择开关141，选择开关141用于按照使用者的操作调节气泡水或冰水流经的原料。选择开关141的具体操作方式、类型、形状等不作具体限定，例如，可以按压打开选择开关141，推拉打开选择开关141，也可以是旋转打开选择开关141。选择开关141调节气泡水或冰水流经的原料的方式也不作具体限定，可根据输出部140的类型以及输出部140和气泡水部120、冰水部130的连接方式做具体选择。例如，输出部140可以包括两个容器，两个容器分别与冰水部130和气泡水部 120连接，以分别存储冰水和气泡水，两个容器的底部分别开设至少一个输出口。此时，可以按压打开选择开关141，推拉打开选择开关141，也可以是旋转打开选择开关141，例如，开关是与输出口相适配的挡片，挡片可设置于输出口适配的孔，按压挡片以使孔与输出口重叠或者错开，以控制输出。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
