In the existing ice maker, the ice and water are separated together in the ice making box, and then the water is returned to the water storage tank through the drain hole at the bottom of the ice storage box. In the process of water flowing through the ice, the ice is easily melted, which shortens the storage time of the ice and makes the ice wet and stick together, resulting in low quality of ice forming.

Although this type of structure can easily separate ice blocks and water, the ice blocks and the slope and the water guide groove are in contact and friction when the ice blocks slide along the slope, and since there is no water receiving space at the front end of the inclined slope, the water splashed into the ice storage box when the ice blocks slide, which affects the quality of ice forming.
