[0050] Next, with reference to the drawings, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0051] As Figures 1-8As shown, the in-vehicle refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a box body 1, a first door body 2, a second door body 3, and a linkage member 4. An accommodation cavity 11 is formed inside the box body 1. The box body 1 is provided with a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 that communicate with the accommodation cavity 11. The first door body 2 is movably installed on the box body 1 and is used to selectively open the first opening 111. The second door body 3 is movably installed on the box body 1 and is used to selectively open the second opening 112. The linkage member 4 is movably installed on the box body 1, and at least one of the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 is in linkage cooperation with the linkage member 4 so that the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 cannot be opened simultaneously.

[0052] Thus, it is possible to prevent the first door body 2 from being opened when the second door body 3 is opened, so as to avoid multiple users storing items simultaneously from different openings, which is conducive to preventing users from pinching their hands or being bruised, and improves the safety of the in-vehicle refrigerator 100.

[0053] First, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the in-vehicle refrigerator 100 includes a box body 1, a first door body 2, and a second door body 3. An accommodation cavity 11 is formed inside the box body 1. The accommodation cavity 11 is used for storing items. The box body 1 is provided with a first opening 111 and a second opening 112. The first opening 111 and the second opening 112 are located on different side walls of the box body 1 and both communicate with the accommodation cavity 11. Exemplarily, the first opening 111 can be provided at the top of the box body 1, and the second opening 112 can be provided at the side of the box body 1.

[0054] The first door body 2 is movably installed on the box body 1. For example, the first door body 2 is slidably or rotatably installed on the box body 1. The first door body 2 is used to selectively open the first opening 111, and the first door body 2 has a first locking portion. Specifically, when a user needs to store or retrieve items through the first opening 111, the first door body 2 can be driven to move relative to the box body 1 to open the first opening 111. The user can store or retrieve items into or from the accommodation cavity 11 through the first opening 111. After the user's operation is completed, the first door body 2 can be driven to move in the reverse direction relative to the box body 1 to close the first opening 111. [[ID=ID=13]]

[0055] The second door body 3 is movably installed on the box body 1. For example, the second door body 3 is slidably or rotatably installed on the box body 1. The second door body 3 is used to selectively open the second opening 112. Specifically, when a user needs to store or retrieve items through the second opening 112, the second door body 3 can be driven to move relative to the box body 1 to open the second opening 112. The user can store or retrieve items into or from the accommodation cavity 11 through the second opening 112. After the user's operation is completed, the second door body 3 can be driven to move in the reverse direction relative to the box body 1 to close the second opening 112.

[0056] Among them, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 further includes a linkage member 4. The linkage member 4 is movably installed on the box body 1, and at least one of the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 is in linkage cooperation with the linkage member 4, so that the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 cannot be opened simultaneously.

[0057] Specifically, the linkage member 4 can be in linkage cooperation with the first door body 2. When the first door body 2 opens the first opening 111, the linkage member 4 can be in locking cooperation with the second door body 3 to limit the second door body 3 from opening the second opening 112. When the first door body 2 closes the first opening 111, the linkage member 4 can be disengaged from the second door body 3, and the second door body 3 can be selectively opened at the second opening 112 according to the user's operation; or, the linkage member 4 can be in linkage cooperation with the second door body 3. When the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 can be in locking cooperation with the first door body 2 to limit the first door body 2 from opening the first opening 111. When the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 can be disengaged from the first door body 2, and the first door body 2 can be selectively opened at the first opening 111 according to the user's operation; or, the linkage member 4 can be in linkage cooperation with the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 respectively. When the first door body 2 opens the first opening 111, the linkage member 4 can be in locking cooperation with the second door body 3 to limit the second door body 3 from opening the second opening 112. When the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 can be in locking cooperation with the first door body 2 to limit the first door body 2 from opening the first opening 111. The present invention does not limit this.

[0058] Through the above settings, it is possible to limit the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 from being opened simultaneously, so as to prevent multiple users from storing items at different openings at the same time, which is beneficial to preventing users from pinching their hands or being bruised. Moreover, the linkage member 4 is a mechanical structure and does not require electric control, which can reduce the power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 and improve the endurance of the vehicle 200. In addition, when a drawer member 6 is provided in the accommodation cavity 111, it is possible to prevent the slide rail from being exposed, so that sundries do not fall on the slide rail, reducing the probability of mechanical failure of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0059] According to the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the linkage member 4 can limit the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 from being opened simultaneously, so as to prevent multiple users from storing items at different openings at the same time, which is beneficial to preventing users from pinching their hands or being bruised. Moreover, the linkage member 4 does not require electric control, which can reduce the power consumption of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 and improve the endurance of the vehicle 200, thereby improving the practicality of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second door body 3 is in linkage cooperation with the linkage member 4. The linkage member 4 has an unlocking position and a locking position. When the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 switches to the locking position to be in locking cooperation with the first door body 2; when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 switches to the unlocking position to be disengaged from the first door body 2.

[0061] That is to say, when the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 can correspondingly switch to the locking position to be in locking cooperation with the first door body 2, thereby restricting the first door body 2 from opening the first opening 111; while when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the linkage member 4 can correspondingly switch to the unlocking position to be disengaged from the first door body 2, so that the first door body 2 can be opened or closed by the user's operation to open or close the first opening 111.

[0062] Through the above settings, when the user opens the second door body 3 to store or retrieve items through the second opening 112, the first door body 2 can be restricted from opening the first opening 111 to avoid multiple users storing items simultaneously from different openings, which is beneficial to preventing the user from pinching or bruising their hands, and the first door body 2 can still be opened after the vehicle is powered off, which is beneficial to dealing with emergencies and improves the practicality of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1-4 shown, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a drawer member 6. The drawer member 6 includes a drawer 61 and a drawer door body 62. The drawer 61 is slidably installed in the accommodation cavity 11 through the second opening 112. The drawer 61 is used to hold items, and at least a part of the drawer door body 62 forms the second door body 3.

[0064] Specifically, when the user needs to store or retrieve items, the drawer door body 62 can be driven to move relative to the box body 1 to open the second opening 112. The linkage member 4 can correspondingly switch to the locking position to be in locking cooperation with the first door body 2, thereby restricting the first door body 2 from opening the first opening 111. At this time, the drawer 61 is disengaged from the accommodation cavity 11, and the user can take out or deposit items into the drawer 61 outside the box body 1; after the user's operation is completed, the drawer 61 can be pushed into the accommodation cavity 11, and the drawer door body 62 can close the second opening 112. At this time, the linkage member 4 can correspondingly switch to the unlocking position to be disengaged from the first door body 2, so that the first door body 2 can selectively open the first opening 111 according to the user's needs.

[0065] It can be understood that during the movement of the drawer member 6, the first opening 111 cannot be opened, and sundries cannot enter the accommodation cavity 11 through the first opening 111 and fall on the slide rail of the drawer member 6, which is beneficial to preventing mechanical failures and improving the operating stability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the second door body 3 can be provided with a first movable end 3a and a first positioning end 3b, the first positioning end 3b is rotatably engaged with the box body 1, the first movable end 3a is separated from or engaged with the box body 1 to open or close the second opening 112, and the first movable end 3a is linked and engaged with the linkage member 4.

[0067] Specifically, when the user needs to store or retrieve items through the second opening 112, the first movable end 3a can be driven to separate from the box body 1 to open the second opening 112. The user can store or retrieve items from the storage cavity 11 through the second opening 112, and after the user operation is completed, the second door body 3 can be driven to cooperate with the box body 1 to close the second opening 112.

[0068] Through the above arrangement, the movement process of the second door body 3 can be made smoother and more stable, which is beneficial to improving the switching stability of the linkage member 4 between the unlocked position and the locked position, and improving the reliability of the vehicle refrigerator 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-4 As shown, when the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112 , the second door body 3 and the linkage member 4 are separated; when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112 , the second door body 3 and the linkage member 4 are matched.

[0070] Specifically, when the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the part of the second door body 3 opposite to the linkage 4 can move in the direction away from the box body 1, and the linkage 4 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position. When the linkage 4 moves to the locked position, the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 separate, and the linkage 4 remains in the locked position, and the second door body 3 continues to move to fully open the second opening 112; and when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the part of the second door body 3 opposite to the linkage 4 moves in the direction close to the box body 1, and the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 cooperate, and the second door body 3 drives the linkage 4 to move toward the unlocked position. When the second door body 3 completely closes the second opening 112, the linkage 4 switches to the unlocked position.

[0071] Through the above arrangement, the movement stroke of the linkage member 4 can be shortened, so that the switching of the linkage member 4 between the unlocked position and the locked position is more stable and convenient, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle refrigerator 100.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, one of the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 is provided with a mating post 43 and the other is provided with a mating hole 31. When the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 are mated, the mating post 43 is located within the mating hole 31; when the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 are separated, the mating post 43 is located outside the mating hole 31 to separate from the mating hole 31. Exemplarily, the mating post 43 can be provided on the second door body 3 and the mating hole 31 can be provided on the linkage 4; or, the mating hole 31 can be provided on the second door body 3 and the mating post 43 can be provided on the linkage 4. It should be noted that the mating hole 31 can be configured as an oblong hole to make it easier for the mating post 43 to extend into the mating hole 31.

[0073] Through the above arrangement, the mating stability between the second door body 3 and the linkage 4 can be improved, so that the linkage 4 can be switched more stably between the unlocking position and the locking position, which is beneficial to ensuring the locking stability between the linkage 4 and the first door body 2, and improving the reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 of the embodiments of the present invention further includes an elastic part 5. The elastic part 5 is respectively mated with the box body 1 and the linkage 4 to apply an elastic force to the linkage 4, and the elastic force makes the linkage 4 have a tendency to move towards the locking position.

[0075] For example, as shown in Figures 1-4 the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 further includes an elastic part 5. The elastic part 5 is located between the box body 1 and the linkage 4 and is respectively mated with the box body 1 and the linkage 4. The elastic part 5 is in a compressed state. The elastic part 5 is used to apply an elastic force towards the locking position to the linkage 4, and the elastic force makes the linkage 4 have a tendency to move towards the locking position.

[0076] Specifically, when the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the part of the second door body 3 opposite to the linkage 4 can move away from the box body 1, and the elastic part 5 can drive the linkage 4 to move towards the locking position, so that the linkage 4 can be switched to the locking position; when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the part of the second door body 3 opposite to the linkage 4 moves towards the box body 1, and the second door body 3 can drive the linkage 4 to move towards the unlocking position after being mated with the linkage 4, and the second door body 3 can compress the elastic part 5, so that the linkage 4 can be switched to the unlocking position.

[0077] Through the above arrangement, the linkage 4 can be stably switched to the locking position, which is beneficial to ensuring the locking reliability of the linkage 4 and improving the overall performance of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0078] Further, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the elastic portion 5 can be constructed as a spring, which is sleeved outside the linkage member 4 and engages with the housing 1. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the elastic portion 5 can also be constructed as other elastic structures. This can improve the installation stability of the elastic portion 5, simplify the structure of the vehicle refrigerator 100, and reduce costs.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first door body 2 has a first locking portion, and the linkage member 4 has a second locking portion, which is arranged opposite the first locking portion. When the linkage member 4 is switched to the locked position, the second locking portion and the first locking portion cooperate to lock the first door body 2, thereby restricting the first door body 2 from opening the first opening 111. When the linkage member 4 is switched to the unlocked position, the second locking portion disengages from the first locking portion.

[0080] Through the above arrangement, the locking stability between the linkage member 4 and the first door body 2 can be improved to ensure that the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 cannot be opened at the same time, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle refrigerator 100.

The second movable end 2a is located on the side of the first door body 2 facing away from the second door body 3, and the second positioning end 2b is located on the side of the first door body 2 close to the second door body 3. The second positioning end 2b is rotatably engaged with the box body 1, and the second movable end 2a is engaged or separated with the box body 1 to open or close the first opening 111. The linkage member 4 is adapted to be locked with the second movable end 2a when switched to the locked position.

[0088] Specifically, when the user needs to store or retrieve items through the first opening 111, if the second opening 112 is in a closed state, the first movable end 3a of the first door body 2 can be driven to separate from the box body 1 to open the first opening 111. The user can store or retrieve items in the storage cavity 11 through the first opening 111, and after the user operation is completed, the second movable end 2a of the first door body 2 can be driven to cooperate with the box body 1 to close the first opening 111.

[0089] Through the above arrangement, the locking effect of the linkage member 4 on the first door body 2 can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the vehicle refrigerator 100.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the linkage member 4 can be multiple, and the multiple linkage members 4 are arranged in parallel at intervals. The multiple linkage members 4 can be respectively linked and cooperated with the second door body 3, and the first door body 2 is correspondingly provided with multiple first locking portions. When the second door body 3 opens the second opening 112, the multiple second locking portions can be switched to the locking positions together to lock and cooperate with the multiple first locking portions one by one, so as to position the first door body 2; when the second door body 3 closes the second opening 112, the multiple second locking portions can be switched to the unlocking positions together to disengage from the corresponding first locking portions. Exemplarily, the linkage member 4 can be set to two, and the two linkage members 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first door body 2 in the width direction.

[0091] Through the above settings, the locking stability of the first door body 2 can be improved, the difficulty for the user to violently open the first door body 2 is increased, and thus the reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 is improved.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the first opening 111 can be arranged at the top of the box body 1, and the second opening 112 can be arranged at the rear side of the box body 1.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 of the embodiments of the present invention further includes an electric driving member, and the electric driving member is arranged on the box body 1 and is used to drive the second door body 3 to move to open or close the second opening 112.

[0094] Through the above settings, the opening and closing of the second door body 3 can be made more convenient, which is beneficial to improving the user's operation experience. In addition, when the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 is integrated into the armrest box and the second opening 112 is located at the rear side of the box body 1, it can prevent the rear-row users (such as children) from accidentally opening and causing pinching, and improve the safety of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 of the embodiments of the present invention further includes: a control module and a detection member. The control module is electrically connected to the detection member and the electric driving member respectively. The detection member is used to detect the state of the first door body 2, and the control module is configured to selectively control the electric driving member to drive the second door body 3 to move according to the signal of the detection member. It should be noted that the detection member can be a Hall sensor.

[0096] Specifically, when the first door body 2 opens the first opening 111, the detection member can detect that the first door body 2 is in the open state. After receiving the signal from the detection member, the control module stops controlling the electric driving member; when the first door body 2 closes the first opening 111, the detection member detects that the first door body 2 is in the open state. After receiving the signal from the detection member, the control module can control the electric driving member to open or close the second opening 112 according to the user instruction. It should be noted that the user instruction can be issued through the following electric switch 32, or can also be issued through the switch door button on the instrument panel.

[0097] Through the above settings, when the first opening 111 is open, the second opening 112 cannot be opened simultaneously, which can reduce the probability of mechanical failure of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100, and can prevent multiple users from storing items simultaneously through different openings, which is beneficial to preventing users from pinching their hands or getting bruised.

[0098] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the detection member detects that the first door body 2 opens the first opening 111, the detection member continuously sends an induction signal, and the control module restricts the opening of the second opening 112; when the detection member detects that the first door body 2 closes the first opening 111, the detection member stops sending the induction signal, so that the control module can control the electric driving member to open or close the second opening 112 according to the user instruction. Thus, the reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 can be ensured.

[0099] In some embodiments of the present invention, a handle 22 can be provided on the first door body 2, so that passengers can drive the first door body 2 to open or close the first opening 111 through the handle 22. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the use convenience of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present invention, an electric switch 32 can be provided on the box body 1. The electric switch 32 is used to control the electric driving member to drive the second door body 3 to move, so that passengers can control the second door body 3 to open or close the second opening 112 through the electric switch 32. Thus, it is beneficial to improve the use convenience of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100.
