[0038] 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 part of the rear end on one side of the machine case 1, and the radiator 32 is located at the lower part of the rear end on the other side of the machine case 1. The rear side of the ice-making machine body 21 on one side of the machine case 1 is narrowed to avoid the position of the compressor 31.

[0039] 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.

[0040] When a water storage space 211 is provided and the purified water side of the filtration 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 filtration 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 water will be transported to the ice outlet 11 by the ice-taking transmission mechanism 23 for output to meet the user's ice-taking application.

[0045] Preferably, the water outlet end of the water storage space 211 is connected to the water outlet 12, so that when ice water in the water storage space 211 is mixed, the requirement of the water outlet 12 to export cold water for application can be effectively met. Specifically, a corresponding control valve assembly is arranged between the water supply pipe connected to the water inlet side 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 requirement that the residual water can be controlled to be output from the water outlet 12.

[0046] For temperature control and regulation of purified water directly outputted from the water outlet 12, a temperature control module 7 is arranged at the front side of the filter module 4, the water inlet end of the temperature control module 7 is connected with the other end of the purified water side of the filter module 4, and the water outlet end of the temperature control module 7 is connected with the water outlet 12.
