The bullet-shaped ice-making box 9 is located below the bullet-shaped evaporator 8, and the water storage tilting box 5 is equipped with an ice-removing valve. By tilting the water storage tilting box 5, the ice-making process can be made smoother, and it is also easier to remove the ice cubes. The design of the bullet-shaped evaporator 8 and the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9 allows the water flow to be evenly distributed in the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9, improving the ice-making efficiency and shortening the initial ice-making time.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this utility model, an ice water circulation pump 10 and an ice tank 11 connected to the ice water circulation pump 10 are installed on the water dispenser body 1 below the ice maker 2. The ice tank 11 is connected to the bottom of the ice maker 2. The design of the ice water circulation pump 10 allows the ice water in the ice maker 2 to circulate, maintaining a uniform temperature and improving the ice-making effect. At the same time, the storage function of the ice tank 11 ensures a sufficient supply of ice water to meet the user's drinking water needs.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, an ice cube tray drawer 12 is slidably connected inside the freezer 2, and the ice cube tray drawer 12 is located directly below the water storage flip box 5. The front side of the ice cube tray drawer 12 has an embedded handle 1201, and the inside of the ice cube tray drawer 12 has an ice cube scoop 1202.

The design of the raw water tank 4 provides the raw water required for ice making, and the partition 401 ensures that the raw water is evenly distributed within the raw water tank 4, improving ice-making efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, a radiator 13 is installed on the rear side of the water dispenser body 1 in this utility model. The design of the radiator 13 ensures that the water dispenser can maintain a stable temperature during operation, avoiding equipment failure or performance degradation caused by excessive temperature. At the same time, the design of the radiator 13 also improves the service life and stability of the water dispenser.

[0033] Working principle: In the specific implementation of this utility model, after the pure water tank 3 is filled with water to the ice chamber 11, the ice water circulation pump 10 starts to circulate. The ice water is supplied to the water storage flip box 5 through the pipeline. The compressor is started. The circulating water flows continuously through the water storage flip box 5 and comes into contact with the bullet-shaped evaporator to achieve water cooling, produce ice water, and store it in the ice chamber 11.

[0034] Where the ice water comes into contact with the bullet-shaped evaporator 8, the temperature drops to freezing point, causing ice to form around the bullet-shaped evaporator 8. Once the ice has accumulated to a certain thickness, the ice water circulation pump 10 stops circulating, the water storage tilt box 5 flips to the top, the de-icing valve opens, and the hot refrigerant flows back to the bullet-shaped evaporator 8. The temperature rises, the ice melts, and it detaches from the bullet-shaped ice-making box 9, falling into the ice cube drawer 12. Then, the water storage tilt box 5 flips to the bottom, the ice water circulation pump 10 starts the compressor, and the next round of ice making begins.

[0035] During the ice-making process, when the user presses the button to dispense ice water, the water pump will draw ice water from the ice tank 11. If the ice tank 11 is not full, it will draw water from the pure water tank 3 to replenish it. If the pure water tank 3 is not full, the machine will draw water from the raw water tank 4 and filter it through the RO filter 6 and PPC filter 7 into the pure water tank 3.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
