[0002] The description in this section merely provides background information related to the disclosure of the present utility model and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] An ice maker is a refrigeration mechanical device that generates ice by cooling water through an evaporator with the refrigerant of the refrigeration system. It uses a refrigeration system and water as a carrier to make ice by passing it through a certain device under power-on conditions. The shapes of the generated ice cubes vary depending on the principle and production method of the evaporator. People generally classify ice makers according to the shape of the ice as granular ice machines, flake ice machines, cube ice machines, round ice machines, tube ice machines, shell ice machines, etc.

[0004] After ice making is completed, the ice cubes need to fall off from the ice outlet of the evaporator and push the ice cubes into the ice storage bin.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the utility model and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art.
