[0019] The refrigeration module is composed of a condenser pipe, a compressor and a condenser. During ice making, the compressor and the condenser work, the refrigerant in the condenser pipe is cooled and enters the evaporator 14, the water in the water tank 11 is transported to the evaporator 14 through the connecting pipe 12 and the inner container 121, and the water is condensed into ice blocks on the evaporator 14. When the ice blocks are large enough, they are heated by the condenser pipe and are removed. When the water tank 11 needs to be cleaned or other maintenance is needed, the user can pull the water tank 11 out of the ice maker body 1 from the front side along the slide rail 111. During the process of pulling out the water tank 11, the piston 112 expands to its original state due to the loss of pressure provided by the connecting pipe 12 to the piston, thereby disconnecting the connection between the water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12, preventing water from continuing to flow out. After the maintenance or cleaning is completed, the user pushes the water tank 11 back to the original position along the slide rail 111. When the water tank 11 is pushed back, the port of the connecting pipe 12 enters the inside of the elastic piston 112, compresses the piston and deforms it, thereby reestablishing the connection between the water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12.

[0020] The water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12 are connected, and the electromagnetic valve 122 is provided at the connection between the water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12. The electromagnetic valve 122 is fixed and connected with the connecting pipe 12, and controls the flow state of the connecting pipe 12.

[0021] The water tank 11 is arranged at the top of the ice maker body 1, and the evaporator 14 is arranged at the rear side of the water tank 11.

[0022] The water tank 11 is arranged at the top of the ice maker body 1, and the evaporator 14 is arranged at the rear side of the water tank 11.

[0023] The ice basket 13 is provided with a track on the side, so that the ice basket 13 can be flipped out of the ice maker body 1.

[0024] Working principle: The ice maker body 1 is internally provided with a water tank 11, an ice basket 13, an evaporator 14 and a refrigeration module. The refrigeration module cools the evaporator 14. Water in the water tank 11 is sprayed onto the evaporator 14 to condense. The condensed ice blocks fall into the ice basket 13. The water tank 11 is arranged at the front side of the ice maker body 1. The ice maker body 1 is internally provided with a slide rail 111. The water tank 11 is arranged on the slide rail 111, so that the water tank 11 can be pulled out from the front side of the ice maker body 1. The rear side of the water tank 11 is provided with a connecting pipe 12 and an inner container 121. The water tank 11 is communicated with the inner container 121 through the connecting pipe 12, and then water is supplied to the evaporator 14. The water tank 11 is connected with the connecting pipe 12 and is provided with an elastic piston 112. When the water tank 11 is pulled out, the piston 112 expands to restore its original state. When the water tank 11 is pushed back, the connecting pipe 12 enters the piston 112, compresses the piston 112 and communicates with the water tank 11. The refrigeration module is composed of a condensing pipe, a compressor and a condenser. During the ice making process, the compressor and the condenser work. The refrigerant in the condensing pipe is cooled and enters the evaporator 14. The water in the water tank 11 is transported to the evaporator 14 through the connecting pipe 12 and the inner container 121. The water condenses into ice blocks on the evaporator 14. When the ice blocks condense to be large enough, the ice blocks are deiced through the reverse heat of the condensing pipe. When the water tank 11 needs to be cleaned or other maintenance is needed, the user can pull the water tank 11 out from the front side of the ice maker body 1 along the slide rail 111. During the process of pulling out the water tank 11, the piston 112 expands to restore its original state due to the loss of the pressure provided by the connecting pipe 12 to the piston, so as to disconnect the connection between the water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12, preventing water from continuing to flow out. After the maintenance or cleaning is completed, the user pushes the water tank 11 back to the original position along the slide rail 111. When the water tank 11 is pushed back, the port of the connecting pipe 12 enters the inside of the elastic piston 112, compresses the piston and deforms the piston, so as to reestablish the connection between the water tank 11 and the connecting pipe 12.
