[0055] The upper frame 32 is provided with a platform 321 for placing the ice maker 1, a partition 322 protruding upward from the edge of the platform 321, and a positioning column 323 protruding from the platform 321. The platform has a cavity formed by passing through it in the up and down directions to accommodate the ice maker 1, and the positioning column 323 is inserted upward into the positioning hole 102 provided on the ice maker 1.

[0056] The upper frame 32 also has first and second retaining walls 324, 325 that are opposite and spaced apart in the front-to-back direction, and a third retaining wall 326 that connects one side of the first and second retaining walls 324, 325 in the left-right direction. The platform 321 is located in the space enclosed by the first, second and third retaining walls 324, 325, 326. The overall extension direction of the partition 322 is consistent with the first and second retaining walls 324, 325 to form a channel for cold air to flow through.

[0057] The first, second and third retaining walls 324 , 325 , 326 and the first side frame 33 and the inner wall surface of the ice-making chamber 200 are arranged to form an ice-making air duct, and the top of the ice-making machine 1 is located in the space surrounded by the first, second and third retaining walls 324 , 325 , 326 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the downwardly extending height of the first side frame body 33 is higher than the downwardly extending height of the second side frame body 34, that is, the bottom end of the first side frame body 33 is located below the bottom end of the second side frame body 34. The pair of second mounting portions 31 are respectively disposed on the inner sides of the first and second side frame bodies 33 and 34 and are disposed facing each other.

[0059] The first side frame 33 is a box-like structure that is open to the connected side wall of the ice-making chamber 200, and is provided with a partition 334 inside to divide its internal space into two parts.

[0063] In the present invention, the top of the spray head 42 is flush with the upper end surface of the guide wall 21. In this way, the water flow sprayed from the spray head 42 can be prevented from being blocked due to the guide wall 21 being too high. At the same time, it can also be prevented from falling ice cubes hitting the spray head 42 due to the guide wall 21 being too low, causing the ice cubes to fall off and hit the spray head 42, causing uneven sliding and affecting the spraying water.
