[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] In order to achieve further function settings and make the installation and cooperation between various functional devices more compact, the following is an application of a preferred structural setting embodiment of an ice-making module provided in this embodiment:

[0033] The ice-making module 2 includes an ice-making machine body 21 arranged vertically with a wider upper part and a narrower lower part. The refrigeration module 3 includes a compressor 31 and a radiator. The compressor 31 is located at the lower rear position on one side of the machine shell 1, and the radiator is located at the lower rear position on the other side of the machine shell 1. The ice-making machine body 21 on one side of the machine shell 1 has an extension dimension in the length direction (relative to the front-rear direction of the machine shell 1) greater than the dimension in the width direction (relative to the extension direction of the left and right sides of the machine shell 1), meeting the space application of arranging the refrigeration module 3 on one side of the machine shell 1 and leaving space on the other side for arranging the filtration module 4; there is a transition change position 213 in the middle of the rear side of the ice-making machine body 21 that narrows with an arc transition, so that its overall length direction is in the form of a wider upper part and a narrower lower part, and an avoidance space 214 is formed below the transition change position 213 to avoid the installation position of the compressor 31.

[0034] The upper end of the ice-making refrigerator body 21 is open to form an open opening 218. On the upper side of the front end of the ice-making refrigerator body 21, a front side opening 2181 connected to the open opening 218 is provided. Below the front side opening 2181, there is a supporting position 2182 in an arc shape; on the upper side of the ice-making refrigerator body 21 at the position of the open opening 218, an ice-making mechanism 22 is installed and arranged. Below the ice-making mechanism 22 of the ice-making refrigerator body 21, an ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 is provided. The front end of the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 is an ice outlet end, and the front end of the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 is supported on the supporting position 2182, and the ice outlet end of the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 is adapted to the ice outlet 11. The lower part of the ice-making refrigerator body 21 forms a water storage space 211. The purified water side of the filtering module 4 is communicated with the water storage space 211, and 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.

[0035] When a water storage space 211 is provided and the purified water side of the filtering module 4 is communicated to the water inlet side position of the ice-making mechanism 22 through the water storage space 211, the purified water source of the filtering module 4 can be used as the ice-making water source of the ice-making module 2. The ice obtained by the ice-making mechanism 22 by obtaining the water source will be transported by the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 to the ice outlet 11 for output, meeting the user's ice-taking application.

[0036] In order to further meet the demand for separating the remaining water after ice-making by the ice-making mechanism 22 and avoid the situation of ice melting caused by the output ice cubes being soaked in the remaining water, in the application of this embodiment, a water-ice separation mechanism 235 is provided between the ice-making mechanism 22 and the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23.

[0037] Specifically, the water-ice separation mechanism 235 includes a grid plate 2351 arranged on one side above the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23, and the grid plate 2351 extends in the front-rear direction; a water guiding groove 2352 is arranged below the grid plate 2351, and the water guiding groove 2352 is provided with a water guiding hole 2353 facing the water storage space 211; on the other side above the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23, an ice inlet 230 is formed, and the grid plate 2351 is inclined towards the ice inlet 230.

[0038] During the application process, after the ice-making mechanism 22 prepares the ice cubes, control the ice-making mechanism 22 to unload the ice-water mixture to the position of the grid plate 2351. The already condensed ice cubes will fall towards the ice inlet 230 along the inclined grid plate 2351 and fall into the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 to prepare for the ice cube transmission output. The water source unloaded by the ice-making mechanism 22 will fall into the water guiding groove 2352 through the grid gaps on the grid plate 2351, and the water source will fall into the water storage space 211 under the guidance of the water guiding hole 2353.

[0039] In the application of this embodiment, the ice-making mechanism 22 includes a mounting shell, an evaporator 221 is arranged inside the mounting shell, and an evaporation column 222 extends downward from the evaporator 221; a water receiving tank 223 is arranged below the evaporator 221, and the evaporation column 222 can 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. When it is necessary to unload the ice-water mixture, the flipping drive mechanism 224 can flip the water receiving tank 223 so that the water receiving tank 223 tilts towards the grid plate. The ice generated at the position of the evaporation column 222 falls off the evaporation column 222 under the action of its own gravity and the heat source synchronously generated by the evaporator 211, and the ice and the remaining water source in the water receiving tank 223 are poured and unloaded to the position of the grid plate 2351.

[0040] On the upper side of the ice-making refrigerator body 21, an edge of an open opening 218 extends outward to form a mounting plate 219. On the upper side of the mounting plate 219, a mounting retaining wall 2191 extends vertically upward. A number of mounting holes are provided on the mounting retaining wall 2191 and / or the mounting plate 219 to adapt to the connection and installation of the mounting shell.

[0041] The ice-taking and transporting mechanism 23 includes an ice-taking tank 231 with an open upper side, and the ice-taking tank 231 is inclined upward from bottom to top; a water falling hole 232 is arranged below the ice-taking tank 231, and the water falling hole 232 is communicated with the water storage space 211. Along the extending direction of the ice-taking tank 231, a spiral conveyor 233 is arranged in the ice-taking tank 231, and the upper end of the spiral conveyor 233 is the ice outlet end.

[0042] A buffer position 234 extends horizontally on one side of the upper end of the ice-taking tank 231 corresponding to the spiral conveyor 233, and the ice outlet 11 is arranged below the buffer position 234 and opens downward.

[0043] There is a water falling space 24 between the rear side of the ice-taking tank 231 and the rear side position of the ice-making refrigerator body 21, and the water guiding hole 2353 is arranged corresponding to the water falling space 24; then, under the guidance of the water guiding hole 2353, the separated water source obtained by the water-ice separation mechanism 235 falls into the water storage space 211 through the water falling space 24.

[0044] For the refrigerator body 21 which is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, a transition position 213 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 213 facing the refrigerator body 21. Based on the setting of the transition position 213 with an arc transition, the water source falling from the water drop hole 232 first falls to the transition position 213, and then falls into the water storage space 211 under the guidance of the transition position 213, so as to avoid the noise caused by the water source falling directly into the water storage space 211.

[0045] Similarly, when the transition change position 213 with an arc transition is set, the water source falling into the water falling space 24 will also fall into the water storage space 211 under the guidance of the transition change position 213. Preferably, the water outlet end of the water storage space 211 is connected to the water outlet 12, so that 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 set between the water supply pipe connected to the water inlet side position of the water tank 223, so that the water supply pipe is connected to the water outlet 12 through the control valve assembly, so as to meet the demand that the residual water can be controlled to be output from the water outlet 12.

[0046] On the other hand, in order to prevent the residual water from being stored in the water storage space 211 for a long time, a drainage structure 215 is provided at the lower side of the front end of the refrigerator body 21 .

[0047] Specifically, the drainage structure 215 includes a drainage opening 2151 at the bottom of the refrigerator body, a drain trough 2152 extending downward from the drainage opening 2151, and the drain trough 2152 extending horizontally and opening a drainage hole 2153 toward the front side; a support wall 216 extending vertically from the lower side of the refrigerator body, a lifting space 217 is provided between the bottom of the refrigerator body and the support wall 216, and the drain trough 2152 is provided in the lifting space 217. A drainage interface 13 is provided at the front side of the housing 1 corresponding to the drainage structure 215; when it is necessary to discharge the residual water in the water storage space 211, the drainage hole 2153 can be opened at the drainage interface 13 to discharge the residual water in the water storage space 211; in normal application, the drainage hole 2153 is detachably blocked and provided with a silicone plug.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] A water level sensor is provided in the water storage space 211 . When the water level sensor senses a low water level, the filter module 4 is driven to produce clean water and inject it into the water storage space 211 . When the water level sensor senses a high water level, the injection of water into the water storage space 211 is stopped.

[0050] In order to avoid the purified water in the water storage space 211 overflowing due to the failure of the water level sensor, a water overflow hole 212 is provided extending outwardly at the upper or middle position of the refrigerator body, and a water diversion space 25 is provided at the bottom of the casing. The water overflow hole 212 is communicated with the water diversion space 25. A water source sensor is provided in the water diversion space 25. When the water source sensor senses the input of water, a feedback control signal is sent to control the filtration module 4 to stop producing purified water and injecting it into the water storage space 211; and optionally, a feedback control alarm device is used to send an alarm signal to inform the user of this situation.

[0051] Specifically, the water overflow hole can be optionally provided at the transition change position 213 of the refrigerator body 21, and the water diversion space 25 is provided at the middle position of the bottom side of the casing.

[0052] Alternatively, an installation space 210 is recessed inwardly on one side of the front end of the refrigerator body 21, and the water overflow hole is provided facing the installation space 210 at the upper part of the front side of the refrigerator body 21; the water diversion space 25 is located at the front part of the bottom side of the casing 1.

[0053] Structural devices such as a power supply component, a circuit board component, or a pump component in a water purification ice maker can be placed at the position of the installation space 210. The water diversion space 25 located at the front part of the bottom side of the casing 1 can be arranged in cooperation with the water falling base structure of the water purifier; the water falling base is configured such that when the user takes water and takes too much water and it overflows outside the container, the overflowing water source will fall into the water falling base for collection.

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