Ice making machine

Abstract

An ice-making machine includes an ice-making tray assembly that has multiple ice trays. An ice-turning motor is fixedly connected to one end of the ice-making tray assembly. The ice-turning motor is used to drive the ice-making tray assembly to turn. The ice-making machine also includes an air duct that has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet has an inclined baffle arranged at an angle along the cold air flow direction. The inclined baffle gradually approaches the ice-making tray assembly at an acute angle relative to a horizontal surface of the icemaking tray assembly.
