AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing ice-making methods are not portable and the ice cubes have low transparency, which cannot meet the ice-making needs of travel and leisure. In addition, bubbles and impurities are easily generated during the freezing process.
Method used
The ice maker uses a top-mounted cold source, which places a cold source above the ice box using a semiconductor cooling chip. The controller manages the cold and heat sources, and the combination of a swing assembly and a temperature sensor ensures the transparency and portability of the ice cubes.
Benefits of technology
It enables portable ice making, producing transparent and dense ice cubes suitable for outings and travel, enhancing the user experience.

Abstract
This invention relates to the field of ice maker technology, and provides a top-mounted cold source ice maker, including an insulated box and a lid. The insulated box has a receiving cavity in which an ice-making box is placed, and the ice-making box has multiple ice trays. A semiconductor cooling chip is embedded in the lid. The cold end of the semiconductor cooling chip faces the receiving cavity, and the hot end penetrates through the top of the lid. Multiple heat dissipation grooves are parallel to each other on the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip. Water holes are provided at the bottom of the ice trays in the ice-making box. Therefore, this invention achieves ice making by placing an ice-making box inside an insulated box and placing a cold source above the ice-making box. The ice-making process does not rely on refrigeration equipment such as refrigerators or freezers. The ice maker has a compact overall structure, making it easy to carry and move. It is suitable for travel and other scenarios, improving the user experience.
