[0005] A filtering device for an ice maker comprises an ice maker housing, an evaporator movable shaft is movably mounted at the middle position of the inner top of the ice maker housing, an evaporator is mounted on the evaporator movable shaft, an ice-making mold is mounted below the evaporator, a water inlet is arranged at the rear top of the ice maker housing, the water inlet is connected to an inner water pipe through an inlet pipe, a water supply valve is mounted on the inner water pipe, a ceramic filter element is threadedly connected to the inlet pipe, the water inlet is magnetically attracted to a connecting cover, and the connecting cover is connected to an outer water pipe; a switch is mounted at the middle position of the front of the ice maker housing, and the water supply valve, the evaporator movable shaft, and the evaporator are all electrically connected to the switch.

[0006] Furthermore, the inlet pipe is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom end of the ceramic filter element is provided with an external thread matching the internal thread.

[0007] Furthermore, a positioning column is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the water inlet, and the positioning column is rotatably sleeved on a limiting column, and the limiting column abuts against the connection cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting column is in an inverted L-shape.

[0009] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0010] Water enters the water inlet from the inner water pipe, and enters the inner water pipe from the inlet pipe after being filtered by the ceramic filter element. After using it for a period of time, separate the water inlet and the connecting cover, rotate the ceramic filter element in the opposite direction to remove it, scrub the outer wall of the ceramic filter element to remove impurities intercepted by the ceramic filter element, and then re-screw and connect the ceramic filter element to facilitate disassembly, cleaning and replacement of the filter mechanism. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
