According to the present invention, the height of the water tray for storing the supplied liquid can be easily adjusted so that the liquid (water, milk, juice) can be buried on the surface of the ice making drum cooled in the ice making state. So that the ice-making drum is prevented from proceeding to the ice-making drum, and when the ice-making drum is restarted, the water-bearing surface is elevated by the lever operation to provide ice-making for the ice-making drum.
In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to separate the water receptacle by separating the support holders on both sides, and regular cleaning is possible, which is advantageous in that the sanitary condition of the water receptacle is well preserved.
The present invention has an advantage that it can be industrially mass-produced as a simple structure.
