In two adjacent ice grid structures 30, the water passing grid 32 of the upper ice grid structure 30 is positioned right above the first ice grid 31 on at least one water flow path of the lower ice grid structure 30.
For example, the water flow path of each ice tray structure 30 may be one, each first water passage 33 communicates with the upper ends of two adjacent ice trays 31, and each ice tray 31 communicates with only one remaining ice tray 31, so that the ice making water sequentially fills the remaining ice trays 31 through at least one first water passage 33 after filling the first ice tray 31 on the water flow path. The second communication waterway communicates an upper end of the last ice tray 31 and an upper end of the water passing tray 32 on the water flow path. In two adjacent ice grid structural members 30, the water passing grid 32 of the upper ice grid structural member 30 is positioned right above the first ice grid 31 on the corresponding water flow path of the lower ice grid structural member 30, so that after each ice grid 31 in the upper ice grid structural member 30 is filled with water, the water enters the lower ice grid structural member 30 through the water passing grid 32, and the ice grids 31 in the lower ice grid structural member 30 are filled with water. Of course, the water flow path of each ice grid structure 30 may be multiple, and the number of the ice grids 31 passing through each water flow path is as equal as possible or not different.

A corner of one end of the front side of the ice bank 40 is provided with a rotation hole, which is installed at the rotation shaft 24. The bottom plate of the ice bank 40 has a protrusion extending downward and inserted into the arc-shaped stopper groove 25 so that the ice bank 40 is rotatably mounted to the case 20. The water cup 50 is placed in the ice bank 40. The capacity of the water cup 50 and the water storage capacity of all the ice trays 31 in each ice tray structure 30 may be the same, for example, 180ml each, so that each cup of water can be used for filling one layer of ice tray 31.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the top wall of the box 20 is provided with a water inlet 22, and the water inlet 22 is located right above the first ice tray 31 on the corresponding water flow path of the uppermost ice tray structure 30. Further, as shown in fig. 7 to 9, the ice making housing further includes a water inlet control valve 60. The inlet control valve 60 has a rotary arm 61, a pressing projection 62, a return elastic arm 63, and a stopper assembly 64.
