[0002] Ice makers have become one of the most important household electrical appliances. An ice maker is a refrigeration machine that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator through a refrigeration system. The ice maker mainly includes an ice-making mechanism and a refrigeration system. The refrigeration system is used to provide the ice-making mechanism with the cooling capacity required for ice making. The ice-making mechanism is generally divided into an extrusion type and an immersion type according to its ice-making principle. The extrusion type ice-making mechanism generally includes a cylinder type ice maker and a continuous spiral extrusion structure. The continuous spiral extrusion structure uses a screw to spirally extrude the ice formed in the cylinder type ice maker upward to form granular ice. The granular ice falls into a drawer due to gravity. When taking ice from an extrusion type ice maker, the drawer is pulled out to take out the ice. For example, the application publication number CN117469872A discloses An ice maker of cloth, in order to adapt to the ice-making characteristics of the extrusion ice maker, the ice maker usually has an ice receiving basket structure, and the ice cubes squeezed out from the ice outlet slide into the ice receiving basket for temporary storage for use. For the existing ice basket, when it is installed on the front cover plate, the lower end surface of the ice basket in the prior art is inclined, so that the ice balls may melt during use, and then a water receiving box is installed at the position below the front cover plate, which will increase the cost investment.
