Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice maker technology, specifically an ice maker with an integrated water dispenser function. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional homes or offices, water dispensers and ice makers are usually two separate electrical appliances. This not only takes up a lot of space, but also requires separate operation and maintenance in daily use, causing inconvenience to users. With the fast pace of life and the compactness of living spaces, the market demand for home appliances that can integrate multiple functions, are easy to operate, and save space is growing. Therefore, developing an ice maker with integrated water dispenser functions is particularly important.

[0003] According to CN201069293Y, an ice maker includes an inner liner with a refrigerator compartment at the top and an ice-dropping guide plate at the bottom. The guide plate divides the liner into an ice-dropping chamber and an ice-pushing chamber. An ice storage box is located below the ice-dropping chamber, and an ice-pushing outlet is located below the ice-pushing chamber. This ice maker has both ice-pushing and ice-storage functions. The ice-pushing function allows users to easily take small amounts of ice from the outlet, while the ice-storage function allows users to take large amounts of ice from the storage box at once. As can be seen from the above, although this ice maker can be widely used, it usually lacks a water supply function, making it difficult to provide users with both hot and room-temperature water for drinking, which often inconveniences users. Utility Model Content
