[0002] With the development of economy and the improvement of living standards, ice machines have gradually entered the field of household use. At present, household ice machines sold on the market use compressors to exchange heat between the cold end and the hot end of the refrigeration pipeline. The condenser, as the hot end, needs to exchange heat with the outside air. Therefore, the condenser in the household ice machine is exposed or built into the shell. The shell is provided with a grid structure to allow air to flow around the condenser. After long-term use, dust will accumulate on the surface of the condenser, resulting in reduced heat exchange efficiency of the condenser, increased ice making time and energy consumption.

[0003] Chinese patent CN217442013U discloses a high-efficiency heat exchange condenser, including a first mounting frame, the upper surface of which is threaded with four stabilizing bolts in a rectangular array, and the two side walls of the first mounting frame are symmetrically penetrated with limited through holes extending from the center, and the inner wall of the first mounting frame is detachably mounted with a condenser body, and the two side walls of the condenser body are symmetrically fixedly mounted with connecting components extending from the center. The inner walls of the second mounting frame of this condenser structure are symmetrically provided with mounting grooves extending from the center on both sides, and a dustproof net is clamped on one side of the inner wall of the second mounting frame through the mounting groove, and four mounting blocks are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the dustproof net in a rectangular array. When cleaning and maintaining the dustproof net, the quick latch needs to be removed, and the connecting pipe can then remove the mounting frame, and then the condenser and the dustproof net can be maintained, which is very inconvenient to operate, and its structural design is difficult to apply to household electrical appliances. Therefore, the prior art needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content
