[0002] Electric heating ice makers usually refer to those with electric heating function. They are devices that use electrical energy to accelerate the ice-making process. They usually have dual functions of refrigeration and heating. They may be used to accelerate ice making or promote ice release in specific situations. Electric heating ice makers are resistant to high temperature, low noise, anti-interference and have a long life.

[0003] When the existing electric heating ice maker is in operation, its internal circuit control board and drive mechanism are generally placed in the same space. Therefore, during installation and subsequent disassembly and maintenance, the internal wiring harness is relatively disorderly, which makes it difficult for staff to inspect and maintain it, increasing the difficulty of maintenance. In addition, during use, the internal ice detection and ice turning will inevitably be stuck by ice cubes, which will cause damage to the internal transmission structure under forced execution, and misoperation by external personnel will also cause damage to the internal structure. At the same time, during operation, the ice turning operation and the ice detection operation are generally linked operations, resulting in that when one of the operations is stuck by ice cubes, the entire linked operation will stop running or the internal structure will be damaged, thereby increasing economic losses. Therefore, the utility model proposes an electric heating ice maker with flexible ice detection and ice turning. Utility Model Content
