[0060] The working logic of the drinking water equipment described in embodiment 3 of the utility model can be as follows:

[0061] The drinking water tank 180 is replenished with water: the fifth water pump 340 is opened, so that the water in the source water tank 330 flows into the drinking water tank 180 after being filtered by the fourth water pipe 370, the fifth water pump 340, the fifth water pipe 380 and the membrane filter element 350, and the waste water filtered by the membrane filter element 350 is returned to the source water tank 330.

[0062] Normal temperature water is discharged: under the condition that the water amount in the drinking water tank 180 is sufficient, the third water pump 240 is opened, and the normal temperature water in the drinking water tank 180 passes through the first water pipe 230, the third water pump 240, the second water pipe 250, the instant heating device 260 and the drinking water outlet pipe 270, and finally flows out through the water outlet nozzle 280.

[0063] Hot water: in the case of sufficient water in the water tank 180, the third water pump 240 and the instant heating device 260 are opened, the normal temperature water in the water tank 180 passes through the first water pipe 230, the third water pump 240, the second water pipe 250, the instant heating device 260 and the water outlet pipe 270, and finally flows out from the water outlet nozzle 280.

[0064] The water storage cavity 30 is replenished with water: the water pump 200 is opened, and the water in the water tank 180 is pumped into the water storage cavity 30 through the water suction pipe 210 and the water supply pipe 220.

[0065] Ice making: first, the first water pump 70 is opened, and the water in the water storage cavity 30 is input into the ice making cavity 10;

[0066] Second, the second water pump 200 is opened, the refrigeration assembly 50 is turned on, the evaporator 130 generates cold energy, and ice is formed on the evaporator 130.

[0067] Third, the refrigerant in the refrigeration assembly 50 is reversed, the refrigeration assembly 50 is switched to heating mode, the evaporator 130 generates heat, the ice falls off from the evaporator 130 and enters the ice storage cavity 20.

[0068] Cold water: after the water storage cavity 30 is cooled by the transferred cold energy from the ice storage cavity 20, the fourth water pump 300 is opened, the water in the water storage cavity 30 is pumped to the water outlet pipe 270, and finally flows out from the water outlet nozzle 280.

[0069] Although the utility model has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not used to limit the utility model, and ordinary skilled persons in the art can make various changes and decorations without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, therefore the protection scope of the utility model is limited by the scope defined by the claims.
