[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the concentration of drinks prepared by the refrigerator capable of preparing drinks in the prior art cannot be adjusted or the drink preparation device of the refrigerator capable of preparing drinks occupies too much space, the utility model provides a refrigerator door assembly 1 with a drink making device 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, a beverage making device 10 is arranged on the door body assembly 1, and the beverage making device 10 includes a mixing structure 11 and a liquid supply assembly 12 and a material box 13 connected to the mixing structure 11. A flow control device is arranged between the material box 13 and the mixing structure 11, and the flow control device can control the amount of liquid in the material box 13 entering the mixing structure 11. Preferably, the flow control device is arranged as a peristaltic pump 14. For the convenience of description, the following flow control device is introduced by taking the peristaltic pump 14 as an example. The liquid provided by the material box 13 and the liquid provided by the liquid supply assembly 12 are mixed in the mixing structure 11, and the liquid supply assembly 12, the mixing structure 11, the material box 13 and the peristaltic pump 14 are arranged on the inner side 1a of the door body assembly 1, wherein the inner side 1a of the door body assembly 1 is the side of the door body assembly 1 close to the refrigerator compartment, and the outer side 1b of the door body assembly 1 is the side of the door body assembly 1 away from the refrigerator compartment.

[0029] When the beverage making device 10 is centrally arranged on the door body assembly 1, the space occupied by the beverage making device 10 on the door body can be reduced. Figure 1 , 2 In the area enclosed by the support component 18 and the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1 (the beverage making device 10 cannot be seen at this time), the above arrangement not only ensures that other items can be placed normally on the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1, but also can provide refrigerated beverages to users at any time. For the convenience of introduction, the following is an example of setting the liquid provided in the liquid supply component 12 as water and the liquid in the material box 13 as a concentrate. When the user wants to take out the beverage, the water in the liquid supply component 12 is controlled to flow into the mixing structure 11, and the peristaltic pump 14 is controlled to work and pump the concentrate in the material box 13 into the mixing structure 11. The water and the concentrate are fully mixed and then output. At this time, the user can get the desired beverage. The peristaltic pump 14 can control the amount of concentrate entering the mixing structure 11 from the material box 13, so that the user can adjust the concentration of the beverage according to his or her needs. In addition, the peristaltic pump 14 can also prevent water from flowing back into the material box 13, thereby avoiding contamination of the material box 13.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a water distributor 15 is disposed on the outer side 1b of the door assembly 1, and the water distributor 15 is in communication with the mixing structure 11, so that the mixed liquid in the mixing structure 11 flows out from the water distributor 15. The water distributor 15 is disposed on the outer side 1b of the door assembly 1, so that the beverages refrigerated by the refrigerator can be received without opening the door assembly 1, which not only ensures the refrigeration effect of the beverages, but also avoids the problem of reduced refrigeration effect of the refrigerator due to excessive opening of the door assembly 1.

[0031] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the specific structure of the mixing structure 11 includes a mixing chamber 111, and the mixing chamber 111 is used to mix the water provided by the liquid supply component 12 with the concentrate provided by the material box 13. The beverage making device 10 also includes a main water pipeline 16 and a water distribution pipeline 17. The liquid supply component 12 is arranged on the main water pipeline 16, and the material box 13 and the peristaltic pump 14 are arranged on the water distribution pipeline 17. The water distribution pipeline 17 is connected with the mixing chamber 111. Since the main water pipeline 16 passes through the mixing chamber 111, in order to ensure that the main water pipeline 16 is also connected with the water distribution pipeline 17 and the mixing chamber 111, a liquid inlet hole 161 is set on the main water pipeline 16 arranged in the mixing chamber 111. At this time, the water in the main water pipeline 16 enters the mixing chamber 111, and the concentrate in the water distribution pipeline 17 enters the mixing chamber 111 and mixes with the water, and then flows from the main water pipeline 16 to the water distributor 15 together and is then discharged by the water distributor 15. Preferably, a liquid outlet 151 is provided on the water dispenser 15 , and the mixed beverage flows out from the liquid outlet 151 in the water dispenser 15 .

[0032] It should be noted that the water dispenser 15 can be arranged on the outer side 1b of the door assembly 1, and of course, it can also be arranged on the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1. In addition, the liquid outlet 151 can be set to one. When the liquid outlet 151 is set to one, the beverage formed after mixing or the water directly provided by the liquid supply assembly 12 flows out from one liquid outlet 151. Of course, the liquid outlet 151 can also be set to multiple. In this case, the water directly provided by the liquid supply assembly 12 flows out from one liquid outlet 151, and the mixed beverage flows out from other liquid outlets 151. Alternatively, the liquid outlet 151 is set to multiple, and the material box 13 is also set to multiple. Each material box 13 corresponds to a concentrate of a beverage. Different liquid outlets 151 flow out beverages corresponding to different material boxes 13, and the water directly flowing out of the liquid supply assembly 12 flows out from another liquid outlet 151. The above is not restrictive and can be set according to the needs of those skilled in the art. The above are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1 is provided with a support component 18, and the support component 18 and the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1 enclose a storage chamber 181, and the liquid supply component 12, the material box 13, the mixing structure 11 and the peristaltic pump 14 are arranged in the storage chamber 181. The liquid supply component 12, the material box 13, the mixing structure 11 and the peristaltic pump 14 are arranged in the storage chamber 181 to prevent the user from touching the above devices when opening or closing the door. In addition, the above devices are integrated in the support component 18 to reduce the space occupied in the refrigerator. Figure 5 As shown, arranging the material box 13 at the lower side of the peristaltic pump 14 can also reduce the space occupied by the peristaltic pump 14 and the material box 13 as a whole in the refrigerator.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, since a large amount of water is contained in the liquid supply component 12, a supporting side plate 182 needs to be provided in the storage chamber 181 to strengthen the fixation and support of the liquid supply component 12. A mounting seat 1821 is provided on the supporting side plate 182 for supporting and fixing the liquid supply component 12. A hook 1822 is provided on the supporting side plate 182. A hanging hole 19 is correspondingly provided on the inner side 1a of the door body component 1. The hook 1822 is hung on the hanging hole 19, so that the door body component 1 supports the supporting side plate 182 and the liquid supply component 12 thereon.

[0035] In order to ensure that the user can accurately see the remaining amount of the concentrate in the material box 13, Figure 1As shown, a transparent chamber 1811 is set in the storage chamber 181, and the material box 13 is set in the transparent chamber 1811. When the concentrated liquid content in the material box 13 is insufficient, it is replenished in time. The material box 13 is a box body that can be detachably placed in the transparent chamber 1811, so as to further facilitate the replenishment of the concentrated liquid. In addition, since the peristaltic pump 14 may generate noise when working, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sound insulation component 141 is wrapped around the outside of the peristaltic pump 14 to reduce the noise generated during its operation. It should be noted that the sound insulation component 141 can be sound insulation materials such as sound insulation felt, sound insulation cotton, and sound insulation board.

[0036] It should be noted that the liquid supply component 12 of the utility model can be a built-in water tank arranged in the refrigerator or a water tank connected to an external water source. The liquid in the liquid supply component 12 can also be controlled by a water pump to flow to the liquid outlet 151. The above is not restrictive and can be set according to the needs of technicians in this field.

[0037] It should also be noted that the flow control device can also be set as a stop valve or a regulating valve. The above is not restrictive and can be set according to the needs of technical personnel in this field. The above are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0038] In addition, the liquid provided in the liquid supply component 12 can be water, or milk, coffee or other juice, and the material box 13 can be provided with a concentrate, or milk or other substances. The above is not restrictive and can be arranged according to the needs of technical personnel in this field. The above are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] In summary, when the beverage making device 10 is centrally arranged on the door assembly 1, the space occupied by the beverage making device 10 on the door assembly 1 can be reduced. The beverage making device 10 is arranged in the area enclosed by the support component 18 and the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1. In addition to ensuring that the inner side 1a of the door assembly 1 can be used to place things normally, it can also ensure that the beverage is in a refrigerated environment for a long time, thereby providing the user with a cold beverage. The peristaltic pump 14 can control the amount of concentrate that enters the mixing structure 11 from the material box 13, so that the user can adjust the concentration of the beverage according to his or her needs. In addition, the peristaltic pump 14 can also prevent water from flowing back into the material box 13.

[0040] The utility model also provides a refrigerator with a beverage making device, the refrigerator comprising a door assembly 1 of the refrigerator with a beverage making device 10 in any of the above embodiments.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
