[0022] Referring to Figures 1 to 5The application discloses a water leakage prevention structure of an ice maker, which comprises an inner container 2 installed in the ice maker 1, an ice making module 3 installed above the inner container 2, an ice box 4 arranged below the ice making module 3 in the inner container 2 and a water box 5 arranged below the ice box 4 in the inner container 2, and one side of the front side of the ice maker 1 is provided with an opening, the ice box 4 and the water box 5 can be detachably installed in the inner container 2 through the opening, and the ice box 4 and the water box 5 can be taken out by a user for use or cleaning. The outer side of the bottom of the water box 5 is provided with a water inlet connector 51, the inner container 2 is provided with a water inlet seat 21 matched with the water inlet connector 51, the water inlet connector 51 of the water box 5 is inserted into the water inlet seat 21 after the water box 5 is completely installed in the inner container 2, so that the water box is connected with the internal water channel of the ice maker, and the ice water in the water box 5 can be supplied to the ice making module 3 through the internal water channel of the ice maker. The bottom of the inner container 2 is also provided with a water leakage groove 22, and a water storage box 6 is arranged below the inner container 2 to receive water flowing from the water leakage groove 22, the water leakage groove 22 is arranged on the moving path of the water box 5 taken out from the inner container 2, the water leakage groove 22 is preferably arranged along the width direction of the inner container 2, the width of the inner container 2 is d, the length of the water leakage groove 22 is a, and d > a > 0.5d, that is, the length of the water leakage groove 22 should be greater than half of the width of the inner container 2, and the water leakage groove 22 has sufficient water leakage area, so that the accumulated water can more easily flow into the water leakage groove 22. No matter whether the water is overflowed from the water box or leaked when the water box is taken out, the water falling into the inner container 2 can flow into the water storage box 6 for temporary storage through the water leakage groove 22, so that the problem that the accumulated water in the inner container 2 falls on the desktop is solved.

[0023] As a preferred scheme of the application, the top opening edge of the water storage box 6 is provided with a sealing strip 7 and is sealed against the bottom wall of the inner container 2, so that the accumulated water flowing from the water leakage groove 22 into the water storage box 6 can not leak into the internal part of the ice maker from the joint gap, and the internal electrical elements are not threatened. Further, for the sealed connection between the water storage box 6 and the bottom of the inner container 2, the bottom wall of the inner container 2 downwardly extends a surrounding plate 23, the inner ring shape of the surrounding plate 23 is matched with the opening shape of the water storage box 6, the top opening of the water storage box 6 extends into the inner ring of the surrounding plate 23, and the sealing strip 7 is clamped between the top opening edge and the bottom wall of the inner container 2 and between the side wall of the water storage box 6 and the inner wall of the surrounding plate 23, so that a better sealing effect is achieved through double sealing. Further, the sealing strip 7 downwardly extends and forms a hook groove 71 to wrap the bottom of the surrounding plate 23, so as to enhance the installation stability of the sealing strip 7 and avoid affecting the sealing effect due to the deformation of the sealing strip 7 caused by the installation of the water storage box 6.

[0024] As a preferred scheme, the water storage box 6 comprises a water receiving cavity 61 and a water discharging cavity 62, the water receiving cavity 61 is opposite to the lower part of the water leakage groove 22, the bottom wall of the water discharging cavity 62 is provided with a water discharging opening 63, and a water plug 8 is arranged in the water discharging opening 63, so that the accumulated water in the water storage box 6 can be emptied by pulling out the water plug 8 from the bottom of the ice maker. Further, in order to simplify the assembly process, the water storage box 6 is integrally formed with the bottom plate of the ice maker shell, and the arrangement of the water storage box 6 can be completed through only one assembly process.

[0025] In addition, the water storage box 6 can also be arranged to be removed from the inner container 2 for water storage pouring. The water storage box 6 is detachably mounted relative to the inner container bottom wall, such as being arranged in a drawer type mounting manner to be drawn out from the side of the cabinet below the inner container 2; or the water leakage groove 22 has the same size as the outer side of the water storage box 6, and the water storage box 6 can be taken out from the inner container through the opening of the water leakage groove 22.
