The ice placement component 2 divides the interior of the storage box 1 into a pair of storage cavities 101. An observation port 103 is penetrated and opened on the outer surface of the storage box 1.

[0024] The ice placement component 2 includes an outer housing 201 fixed inside the storage box 1. The outer housing 201 has a placement groove 2010. One side of the outer housing 201 is penetrated and opened with an activity groove 2011 communicating with the placement groove 2010. Two groups of springs 202 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the placement groove 2010. The tops of the two groups of springs 202 are fixedly connected to an ice storage box 203.

[0029] In this embodiment, the assembly groove 102 is used to install the collection box 205, so as to facilitate the staff to take and place the collection box 205 to clean the collected water.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, ventilation holes are formed through the outer wall of the outer housing 201, a water leakage hole is formed through the bottom of the outer housing 201, the bottom of the ice storage box 203 is of a conical structure, and a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the ice storage box 203.

[0031] In this embodiment, the ventilation holes facilitate the cold air to flow into the storage cavity 101 to refrigerate the food samples stored in the storage cavity 101, and the settings of the water leakage hole and the drain hole facilitate the water melted from the ice cubes to be conveyed into the collection box 205.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a transparent plastic plate 104 covering the observation port 103 is arranged on the outer wall of the storage box 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, by setting the transparent plastic plate 104, while ensuring normal observation, the observation port 103 can be blocked to avoid the loss of cold air.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a limiting member 3 for limiting the collection box 205 after insertion is arranged on the outer wall of the storage box 1. The limiting member 3 includes a rotating shaft fixed on the outer wall of the storage box 1, and a limiting block is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting member 3 is used to limit the collection box 205 to prevent the collection box 205 from sliding out during the movement of the device.
