[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , as a preferred embodiment, the circulation pump 2 is arranged in the ice-water tank 1 and communicates with the water inlet port of the circulation pipeline L3.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the circulation pump 2 is arranged in the ice-water tank 1 and communicates with the water inlet port of the circulation pipeline L3, which ensures that the circulation pump 2 can circulate the hot water in the ice-water tank 1, and the circulation pump 2 does not occupy space in the heat recovery ice-making device, thereby providing more space for the arrangement of components in the heat recovery ice-making device.

When the hot water output mode is performed, the first outlet 302 of the control valve 3 is opened and the second outlet 302 is closed, at this time, the hot water prepared in the hot water pipeline L1 is directly supplied to the user through the output section of the hot water pipeline L1. When the high-temperature disinfection water mode is performed, the second outlet 303 of the control valve 3 is opened and the first outlet 302 is closed, at this time, the hot water prepared in the hot water pipeline L1 is supplied to the ice water tank 1 through the water diversion pipeline L2 for high-temperature circulation disinfection.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figure 1 , the control valve 3 is a three-way electromagnetic valve, and the automatic opening and closing of the first outlet 302 and the second outlet 303 are realized by electric control.

Moreover, the modular design of the high-temperature disinfection system makes the maintenance and upgrading of the clean heat ice making equipment more convenient, and also solves the problems of odor, complex assembly and pipeline mess in the traditional clean heat ice making equipment, which brings low safety.

That is, the hose has three functions: first, as the downstream pipe section of the water diversion pipeline L2, it is used to introduce hot water into the chilled water tank 1 for high-temperature circulation disinfection, or to supplement water into the chilled water tank 1 for ice making water or ice blocks; second, as the upstream pipe section of the chilled water pipeline L4, it is used to guide the ice water taken by the user.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of plug interfaces in communication with corresponding pipelines are arranged in the waterway plate 6, so as to facilitate stable and convenient installation of the control valve 3, the self-priming pump 5 and other structural members in the waterway plate 6.

[0063] Specifically, the soft tube in communication with the ice water tank 1 is shared by the water diversion pipeline L2 and the ice water pipeline L4, and therefore the self-priming pump water inlet plug interface 606 is arranged in communication with the ice water tank interface 602, so as to: when high-temperature circulation sterilization is performed, hot water flows from the pipe section of the water diversion pipeline L2 in the waterway plate 6 to the soft tube and the ice water tank 1 through the ice water tank interface 602; and when ice water is taken, the ice water flows from the ice water tank 1 and the soft tube to the self-priming pump water inlet plug interface 606 in the waterway plate 6 through the ice water tank interface 602, and then flows to the self-priming pump 5 and the pipe section of the ice water pipeline L4 in the waterway plate 6.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 6 The heating body 4 has a water inlet port 401 and a water outlet port 402, and the water outlet port 402 and the inlet 301 of the control valve 3 are respectively plugged into the adapter 10.
