1. An ice making system, comprising:
an ice making assembly;
a water collecting tank located below the ice making assembly; and
a water diversion ice rake structure including:
a pair of water receiving lateral wings, each of which is constructed with a rotary end and a free end; the pair of water receiving lateral wings are rotatably disposed on opposite sides of the ice making assembly through the respective rotary ends to rotate between an ice making position and an ice falling position;
wherein at the ice making position, the free ends of the pair of water receiving lateral wings are butted in a space between the ice making assembly and the water collecting tank to form a closure space with an opening facing the ice making assembly, and a water outlet communicating with the water collecting tank is formed on one side of the closure space; and
wherein at the ice falling position, the free ends of the pair of water receiving lateral wings are separated from each other to form an ice falling port.
