Existing ice makers, especially ice makers with an ice discharging module, include a casing, an ice making module, a water storage tank, an ice receiving component and an ice discharging module installed in the casing. The ice making module is used to prepare ice cubes. The water storage tank is used to provide the required water to the ice making module. The ice receiving component is used to receive the ice cubes prepared by the ice making module. The ice discharging module is used to transport the ice cubes in the ice receiving component to an ice outlet at the front end of the casing for discharge. In order to ensure the ice making effect, the casing of such ice makers with an automatic ice discharging module is generally a relatively closed stable matching structure, which is troublesome to disassemble.
