[0002] In household ice makers, ice-making water dispensers, and ice-making water purifiers, ice scoops are typically used to scoop ice. Most existing ice scoops are single-piece components, usually stored on a level surface outside the ice maker or inside the ice basket. If the ice scoop is placed on the level surface outside the ice maker, it's inconvenient to grab ice immediately; if it's placed haphazardly in the ice basket, the accumulated ice can alter its position or even cover it, making it difficult to use.
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technologies employ methods such as adsorption or snap-fit to attach ice scoops to ice makers, ice-making water dispensers, and ice-making water purifiers. However, frequent use, such as opening and closing the door or ice making, or vibrations can cause the ice scoops to loosen or slip off. Furthermore, using snap-fit methods requires installing connecting clips on the ice maker, ice-making water dispenser, or ice-making water purifier. Since these clips are fixed, they must be completely disassembled when they become dirty or damaged, making cleaning, maintenance, and replacement inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, an ice-making and water-dispensing integrated machine has an ice-retrieving structure, including a connecting groove 2 opened on the inner wall of the machine door 1. A connecting buckle 3 is detachably connected in the connecting groove 2, and an ice scoop 4 is inserted into the connecting buckle 3. By setting a detachable and replaceable connecting buckle 3 in the connecting groove 2, the connecting buckle 3 can be connected to the connecting groove 2 by screws. This facilitates the overall disassembly and cleaning of the connecting port and the ice scoop 4, while also making it easier to replace different types of ice scoops 4 and to ensure stable connection.
[0019] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting buckle 3 includes two side plates 31. The lower end of each side plate 31 is provided with a retaining plate 32 that elastically engages with the connecting groove 2. The top ends of the two side plates 31 are connected by a connecting plate 301. An elastic sealing plate 33 is provided in the middle between the two side plates 31. The elastic sealing plate 33 seals the connecting groove 2. An insertion hole 34 is formed between the elastic sealing plate 33 and the connecting plate 301 to facilitate the insertion of the ice spoon 4. In use, the two side plates 31 of the connecting buckle 3 are elastically squeezed and inserted into the connecting groove 2. The elastic sealing plate 33 seals the outer end of the connecting groove 2, preventing dirt from entering the connecting groove 2. After being in place, the two side plates 31 elastically open, so that the retaining plate 32 is engaged and fixed with the lower end of the connecting groove 2. The ice spoon 4 can be inserted into the insertion hole 34. When disassembling, the two side plates 31 are pinched and elastically squeezed to disengage the retaining plate 32 from the bottom end of the connecting groove 2. The connecting buckle 3 and the ice spoon 4 can be removed as a whole, which facilitates disassembly and cleaning.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown in Embodiment 2, in this embodiment, the connecting plate 301 has a connecting hole in the middle, and a connecting rod 35 is detachably connected in the connecting hole.
