The embodiment of the application provides a cold water preparation device and a refrigerator, comprising: a shell having a containing space; a
water pipe comprising a main body section and a water inlet section and a water outlet section connected to both ends of the main body section, the main body section is arranged in the containing space, the water inlet section is used for being connected with a
water source, and the water outlet section is exposed to the shell; a cooling
assembly comprising an inner container, an evaporative
pipe and a
heat conducting medium, the inner container is arranged in the containing space, the inner container has a containing cavity, and the main body section is arranged in the containing cavity; the evaporative
pipe is attached to the outer side wall of the inner container, the
heat conducting medium is arranged in the containing cavity and wraps the main body section; the evaporative
pipe is used for
refrigeration and absorbs the heat of water in the main body section through the inner container and the
heat conducting medium, so that the water in the main body section is cooled. The water introduced into the
water pipe from the
water source is directly cooled by the cooling
assembly, the rapid cooling of the water can be realized, the demand of
continuous use of the user can be met, and the water does not need to be stored, so that the risk of
odor and deterioration of the water can be reduced.
