         4 . The machine for drinking water adapted to instantly heat/cool said water for drinking as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said heating unit and/or cooling unit is provided on a side of said cavity confronting to said heating plate or cooling plate with a plurality of fixing rods, said heating plate or cooling plate is provided thereon with a plurality of positioning holes to match with and for fixing to said fixing rods. 
     
     
         5 . The machine for drinking water adapted to instantly heat/cool said water for drinking as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said heating unit and/or cooling unit includes a first cavity being sealed, said heating plate is lapped over a lateral outside surface of said first cavity; and a second cavity being sealed, a cooling plate is lapped over a lateral outside surface of said second cavity, two ends of said first cavity and two ends of the second cavity are provided respectively each with an inlet and an outlet connected with one another via hollow areas of said cavities, said inlets each has an inlet pipe connecting with said pump, while said outlets each has an outlet pipe connecting with said water providing outlet on said main body, by control of operating of said operation panel, a user is allowed to control said water for drinking which is flowing through said first cavity to be instantly heated by said heating plate, or to control said water for drinking flowing through said second cavity to be instantly cooled by said cooling plate. 
     
     
         6 . The machine for drinking water adapted to instantly heat/cool said water for drinking as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said inlet pipe of said first cavity and said inlet pipe said of said second cavity have between them a 3/2 way solenoid valve connected with said pump, said 3/2 way solenoid valve is adapted to be controlled by operating of said operation panel to be switched to said inlet pipe of said first cavity to connect with said pump, or is adapted to be controlled by operating of said operation panel to be switched to said inlet pipe of said second cavity to connect with said pump. 
     
     
         7 . The machine for drinking water adapted to instantly heat/cool said water for drinking as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said first cavity of the heating unit and/or cooling unit is provided therein with a plurality of flow disturbing ribs or flow disturbing protrusive rods adapted to have said water for drinking heated or cooled uniformly; said flow disturbing ribs or flow disturbing protrusive rods are arranged alternately.
