[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the present invention provides a quick-release car refrigerator, including a center console base 2. The front end of the center console base 2 is provided with a car refrigerator mounting cavity, and the rear end of the center console base 2 is provided with a center console 26. The car refrigerator mounting cavity is equivalent to providing free space at the upper end of the center console base 2. When the car refrigerator is placed and installed on the upper side of the center console base 2, it can be spliced ​​and combined with the center console 26. The power supply of the car refrigerator can be connected to the center console 26.

[0030] The vehicle-mounted refrigerator includes a refrigerator body 1, which is installed inside the refrigerator mounting cavity. The refrigerator body 1 has a refrigeration chamber 15 inside, with an evaporator tube wound around its outer side. A compressor 16 and a condenser 17 located above the compressor 16 are installed inside the refrigerator body 1. The condenser 17 is connected to the evaporator tube, enabling cooling of the refrigeration chamber 15. An exhaust muffler is installed on the pipe between the compressor 16 and the condenser 17, and an insulation sleeve is also fitted onto the pipe between the compressor 16 and the condenser 17. The combination of the exhaust muffler and the insulation sleeve reduces the noise emitted by the refrigeration system when the refrigerator body 1 is in use. Because the sides of the front-mounted refrigerator are adjacent to passenger seats, a high level of quietness is required.

[0031] In order to limit the installation of the vehicle refrigerator body 1, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower front side of the vehicle refrigerator body 1 has a recessed cavity 25, and the upper front side of the armrest box base 2 has a limiting seat 24. The width of the recessed cavity 25 is greater than the width of the limiting seat 24, so that the limiting seat 24 can move a certain distance within the recessed cavity 25 when the vehicle refrigerator body 1 moves horizontally. The lower front side of the vehicle refrigerator body 1 has an unlocking handle 3 that engages with the limiting seat 24. The rear side of the vehicle refrigerator body 1 has a rear end plate 7. The front center of the armrest box 26 has a power socket 27. The rear end plate 7 is equipped with a power plug 8 that inserts into the power socket 27. Inserting the power plug 8 into the power socket 27 enables the vehicle refrigerator to... Powered and requiring no other wiring structure, it effectively utilizes the internal power of the armrest box 26. The unlocking handle 3 serves both as an unlocking mechanism and as a means to pull the car refrigerator forward. When the unlocking handle 3 is pulled upward, it can disengage from the limiting buckle 24. The unlocking handle 3 includes a first flip handle 18 rotatably connected to the front end of the car refrigerator body 1 and a second flip handle 19 rotatably connected to the lower end of the first flip handle 18. The second flip handle 19 is engaged with the limiting buckle 24. The second flip handle 19 first flips upward to disengage from the limiting buckle 24, and then continues to flip the first flip handle 18 upward. This makes the length of the entire unlocking handle 3 relatively long, which is beneficial for pulling the car refrigerator forward.

[0032] At the same time, a locking and limiting structure also needs to be installed on the rear side of the vehicle refrigerator, such as... Figure 2-3As shown, a connecting seat 9 is installed and fixed inside the armrest box 26. Rotatable flip-blocks 13 are provided at both ends of the front side of the connecting seat 9. A locking plate 12, which inserts into the armrest box 26 and engages with the flip-blocks 13, is provided at the upper end of the rear end plate 7. A liftable drive plate 14 is provided inside the connecting seat 9. When the drive plate 14 descends, the flip-blocks 13 are driven by a coil spring to rotate, causing the flip-blocks 13 to disengage from the locking plate 12. A lifting drive assembly 10 is located above the drive plate 14. A lowering block 22 is installed inside the lifting drive assembly 10. An inclined surface is provided on one side of the upper end of the lowering block 22. The lower end of the lowering block 22 abuts against the upper end of the drive plate 14, and the lower end of the lowering block 22... The lifting drive assembly 10 includes a first spring 23 installed at one end. It also includes an unlocking button 11 horizontally mounted on the upper end of the lower pressure block 22. One end of the unlocking button 11 contacts the upper inclined surface of the lower pressure block 22. When the unlocking button 11 is pressed inward, it interacts with the upper inclined surface of the lower pressure block 22, causing the lower pressure block 22 to move downward. This allows the drive plate 14 to be pressed down. After the drive plate 14 is pressed down, the flipping block 13 rotates under the action of the coil spring, disengaging it from the locking plate 12. This allows the vehicle refrigerator to be pulled forward. A spring is also installed at the lower end of the drive plate 14. When the unlocking button 11 is released, the drive plate 14 moves upward, causing the flipping block 13 to rotate back to its original position. A second spring 21 is sleeved on the outside of the unlocking button 11, allowing it to automatically return to its original position.

[0033] As a standard feature of the vehicle refrigerator body 1, the upper part of the vehicle refrigerator body 1 is equipped with a flip-open cover 4. However, in this embodiment, the flip cover 4 covers the unlock button 11 when closed, so the unlock button 11 is not visible from the outside. When the vehicle refrigerator needs to be disassembled, the flip cover 4 needs to be opened before the button can be pressed.

[0034] To improve the installation stability of the vehicle refrigerator, a plurality of first L-shaped fasteners 20 are provided on the upper side of the armrest box base 2. The first L-shaped fasteners 20 are fastened to the second L-shaped openings 28 on the bottom of the vehicle refrigerator body 1. The multiple first L-shaped fasteners 20 and the second L-shaped openings 28 fastening together prevent the vehicle refrigerator from shaking. At the same time, when the vehicle refrigerator needs to be disassembled, pulling the vehicle refrigerator forward can cause relative movement between the first L-shaped fasteners 20 and the second L-shaped openings 28, causing them to be misaligned, thus enabling the disassembly of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0035] In addition, such as Figure 12-13As shown, the interior of the vehicle refrigerator body 1 includes a refrigerator liner, a compressor 16, and a condenser 17. The condenser 17 is mounted on top of the compressor 16 and is connected to the compressor 16 via a compressor exhaust pipe 35. An evaporator 38 is wound around the outside of the refrigerator liner. A capillary tube 36 and a dryer filter 37 are installed between the evaporator 38 and the condenser 17. A return pipe 33 is provided between the evaporator 38 and the compressor 16. An exhaust muffler pipe 32 is installed on the compressor exhaust pipe 35. The exhaust muffler pipe 32 is a hollow copper pipe with tapered ends and a cylindrical middle section. This structure of the exhaust muffler pipe 32 reduces the pressure and flow rate of the refrigerant gas ejected at high speed by the compressor through the suddenly increased pipe volume, effectively mitigating the low-frequency noise caused by the high-speed flow of refrigerant in the exhaust pipe. The total length of the exhaust muffler pipe 32 is 70-100mm, and the sidewall thickness is 0.2-1mm.

[0036] The exhaust muffler 32 is wrapped with a butyl damping film layer on the outside. The butyl damping film layer can reduce the high-frequency noise generated by the refrigerant in the exhaust pipe due to the collision of the refrigerant fluid with the metal copper pipe.

[0037] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0038] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.

[0039] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
