[0028] The cover plate 2 is cut into a "T"-shaped plate when viewed from the front. After the bolts used to fix the cover plate 2 are removed, the water inlet device 4 inside the shell 1 can be seen through the hole opened at the top of the shell 1. The parts in the water inlet device 4, such as the water pump 401, the connecting pipe 402, the activated carbon filter 403 and the water outlet pipe 404, are all connected by bolts and can be disassembled. The parts that need maintenance can be removed and taken out from the inside of the hole opened at the top of the shell 1, and the interior of the ice maker can be maintained.

[0029] Example 2: In the existing household ice maker, the ice storage device will have residual ice when used for a long time, which makes it difficult to disassemble the ice storage device. Therefore, this embodiment adopts the following technical solutions, such as Figures 1-4 As shown;
