[0029] The following is a detailed analysis:

[0030] The water storage assembly 1 is arranged in the housing assembly 100 and includes a water storage tank 6 in which normal temperature drinking water is stored; the water storage tank 6 is connected with a water storage inlet pipe and a water storage outlet pipe, and preferably the water storage inlet pipe and the water storage outlet pipe are arranged at the bottom of the water storage tank 6. A cold water pump is arranged in the water storage tank 6 and connected with the water storage inlet pipe and the water storage outlet pipe; the cold water pump pumps the normal temperature drinking water in the water storage tank 6 into the refrigeration assembly.

[0031] The refrigeration assembly is arranged in the housing assembly 100 and communicates with the water storage assembly, and is used for preparing ice water. The refrigeration assembly includes a TEC refrigeration module and an ice tank 7; wherein the TEC refrigeration module includes a first semiconductor refrigeration sheet, the cold end of the first semiconductor refrigeration sheet is fixedly connected with a cold end fin, the cold end fin is located inside the ice tank 7 and contacts the water in the ice tank 7; the hot end of the first semiconductor refrigeration sheet is connected with a refrigeration module liquid cooling plate, the refrigeration module liquid cooling plate mainly dissipates heat and cools the hot end of the first semiconductor refrigeration sheet, and the refrigeration module liquid cooling plate is connected with the heat dissipation assembly.

[0032] It should be noted that the cold end of the first semiconductor refrigeration sheet and the cold end fin, and the refrigeration module liquid cooling plate and the hot end of the first semiconductor refrigeration sheet are all coated with a heat conduction material to achieve sufficient heat conduction.

[0042] The solid discharge mechanism 202 is a storage ice tank 16 and is used for discharging solid ice blocks.

[0043] The liquid discharge mechanism 201 includes a water mixing tank, and the water mixing tank is connected with the ice-water outlet pipe of the ice tank 7 and the water storage outlet pipe of the water storage assembly 1 through proportional electromagnetic valves.
