[0045] Embodiment 3:

[0046] This embodiment further describes the comprehensive water path and structural application of the ice making module 2.

[0047] The ice making module 2 includes an ice making machine body 21 that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The refrigeration module 3 includes a compressor 31 and a radiator 32. The compressor 31 is located at the lower rear position on one side of the machine shell 1, and the radiator 32 is located at the lower rear position on the other side of the machine shell 1. The rear side of the ice making machine body 21 on one side of the machine shell 1 is narrowed to avoid the position of the compressor 31.

[0048] An ice making mechanism 22 is arranged on the upper side of the ice making machine body 21, and an ice taking transmission mechanism 23 is arranged in the middle of the ice making machine body 21. The ice outlet end of the ice taking transmission mechanism 23 is adapted to be arranged corresponding to the ice outlet 11. A water storage space 211 is formed at the lower part of the ice making machine body 21. The water outlet side of the second filter element 42 serves as the purified water side of the filtration module 4. Then, the water outlet side of the second filter element 42 is communicated with the water storage space 211 through the water path plate assembly 43. The water outlet end of the water storage space 211 leads out a water supply pipe and is communicated to the water inlet side position of the ice making mechanism 22, realizing the connection between the purified water side of the filtration module 4 and the water inlet side of the ice making module 2 to meet the application of the purified water ice making flow path.

[0049] The ice making mechanism 22 includes an evaporator 221. The evaporator 221 extends downward to form an evaporation column 222. A water receiving tank 223 is arranged under the evaporator 221. The evaporation column 222 can be arranged to extend into the water receiving tank 223. The water receiving tank 223 is connected to a flipping drive mechanism 224. The water outlet end of the water storage space 211 leads out a water supply pipe and is communicated to the water inlet side position of the water receiving tank 223.

[0050] When ice making is required, the cold source of the refrigeration module 3 cools the water source in the water tank 223 through the evaporator 211 with its evaporation column 222, so that ice cubes are generated and attached to the evaporation column 222. Then, the water tank 223 is flipped by the flip driving mechanism 224, so that the water tank 223 is tilted toward the lower side of the ice taking and conveying mechanism 23. The ice cubes generated at the position of the evaporation column 222 are separated from the evaporation column 222 under the condition of their own gravity and the heat source generated by the evaporator 211 at the same time, so that the ice cubes and the remaining water source in the water tank 223 are tilted and discharged to the position of the lower side ice taking and conveying mechanism 23. The water drop hole 232 set at the lower side of the ice taking and conveying mechanism 23 can discharge the water source into the water storage space 211, and then the obtained ice cubes are driven to be discharged toward the ice outlet 11.

[0051] The ice taking and conveying mechanism 23 includes an ice taking groove 231, which is tilted from bottom to top; the water drop hole 232 is arranged at the lower side of the ice taking groove 231, and the water drop hole 232 is connected to the water storage space 211.

The ice taking groove 231 is horizontally extended to a buffer position 234 corresponding to one side of the upper end of the screw conveyor 233, and the ice discharging port 11 is located at the lower side of the buffer position 234 and is opened downward. The ice discharging port 11 is movably flipped and connected with a baffle 111. When the ice discharging operation is performed, the baffle 111 is flipped open to open the ice discharging port 11.

[0052] For the refrigerator body 21 that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a transition position with an arc transition is provided in the middle of the rear side to avoid the position of the compressor 31 , and the water drop hole 232 is arranged corresponding to the transition position toward the refrigerator body 21 .

[0053] Preferably, the outlet end of the water storage space 211 is connected to the water outlet 12 to form a residual water outlet flow channel. In the case of ice water mixing in the water storage space 211, the demand for cold water application from the water outlet 12 can be effectively met. Specifically, a corresponding control valve assembly is arranged between the water supply pipeline and the water inlet side position of the water tank 223, so that the water supply pipeline is connected to the water outlet 12 through the control valve assembly to meet the demand that the residual water can be controlled to be output from the water outlet 12. A residual water pump 212 is arranged in the residual water outlet flow channel. In the case that the water purification ice maker is not used for a long time in the water system, a residual water drainage end can also be arranged, and the water storage space is connected to the residual water drainage end to form a residual water drainage flow channel; by opening the residual water drainage end, the residual water in the water storage space 211 is directly discharged. The residual water drainage end is configured as a drainage opening 213 arranged on the front side of the ice maker body 21 and connected to the water storage space 211.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art of this technology, without departing from the implementation principle of the present utility model, the said embodiments can still be modified, and the corresponding modification schemes should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
