The heat insulator 103 is provided between the drip tray 101 and the drip housing 102, and serves to maintain the temperature within the drip tray 101 to prevent water contained within the drip tray 101 from freezing. Wherein, the water pan 101 or the water receiving shell 102 is suitable for integrally and detachably connecting the water pan assembly 10 with the clamping part 202 of the ice making piece 20.

Due to the difference in temperature between the inside and the outside of the drip tray 101, frost may be formed on the outer surface of the drip tray 101. Therefore, a heat insulator 103 is provided outside the drain pan 101 so as to surround the drain pan 101. The heat insulating part 103 is arranged between the water collecting tray 101 and the water collecting shell, heat transfer between the water collecting tray 101 and the water collecting shell can be prevented, and the frosting phenomenon outside the water collecting tray 101 is reduced.

As shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, it can be understood that the water pan assembly 10 and the ice making unit 20 may be detachably connected by a buckle 1021 on the inner wall of the water receiving housing 102, and a clamping groove matched with the buckle 1021 is provided on the clamping portion 202. The water receiving shell 102 is detachably connected with the clamping portion 202 through the buckle 1021 and the clamping groove, so that the installation can be effectively realized without using extra tools in the installation process, the operation is convenient, and the assembly is rapid; in addition, in the assembling process, only simple insertion action is needed, and rotation movement or positioning work is not needed, so that the installation procedure of the water receiving shell 102 on the ice making piece 20 can be simplified, and the problem that the assembling efficiency of the water receiving tray assembly 10 is low due to small operation space and inconvenient assembly is avoided.

It should be noted that the arrangement form of the buckle 1021 is not limited, and the buckle 1021 may be a straight-arm buckle, an "L" -shaped buckle, a "U" -shaped buckle, or a circumferential buckle. When the buckle 1021 is selected, a straight arm type buckle can be selected for convenient processing; for the structural strength that increases buckle 1021, "L" shape buckle, "U" shape buckle or circumference buckle can select for use, because the effective length increase of "L" shape buckle and "U" shape buckle, consequently have great elasticity. In addition, in order to make the installation of the buckle 1021 more firm, the buckle 1021 can be integrally formed with the water receiving housing 102.

It should be noted that the buckle 1021 may be disposed on the water receiving housing 102, or may be disposed on the clamping portion 202.

A heat exchanging part 1014 is extended outwards from one side of the water receiving tray 101 facing the heating pipe, and the heat exchanging part 1014 is attached to the heating pipe. When the ice making assembly 100 defrosts the heating pipe by supplying electricity thereto, the heat of the heating pipe is transferred to the water receiving tray 101 through the heat exchanging part 1014, so that the frost on the water receiving tray 101 is melted and discharged from the water discharge port 1013.

The heat exchange pipe can be connected with a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, a refrigeration evaporator, a freezing evaporator and the like. The refrigerant flowing through the heat exchange tubes may flow out of the compressor, and then, after passing through the condenser and the expansion valve, be supplied to the refrigerating evaporator and the freezing evaporator. In the refrigeration evaporator, the refrigerant can exchange heat with air present in the refrigeration compartment 301, thereby cooling the air in the refrigeration compartment 301. On the other hand, the refrigerant supplied to the freezing evaporator can exchange heat with air present in the freezing compartment 302, thereby cooling the air of the freezing compartment 302. The refrigerant flowing through the heat exchange tube may pass through the heat exchange tube via an expansion valve and then sequentially enter the refrigerating evaporator and the freezing evaporator.
