[0061] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0062] In order to improve the user experience, some vehicles are equipped with onboard refrigerators to allow users to store food that needs to be refrigerated to ensure its freshness. However, the space inside the vehicle's onboard refrigerator is limited, and the amount of items that can be placed is relatively small, which cannot meet the actual needs of users.
[0063] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, the type of which is not specifically limited. For example, the vehicle can be a new energy vehicle or a fuel vehicle.
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The overall structure of a vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. The vehicle 100 may include a body 10, and the interior of the body 10 may form a passenger compartment 101. The passenger compartment 101 may provide a riding space for users, and a driver and passengers may ride in the passenger compartment 101.
[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of a vehicle 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle 100 may further include a front seat 20, which is arranged in the passenger compartment 101 ( Figure 1 ) in. Among them, the front seat 20 may include a main driver's seat 21 and a co-pilot seat 22 arranged side by side. In this way, the driver can sit on the main driver's seat 21, and the co-pilot seat 22 can provide a seating position for other passengers.
[0066] In addition, continue to refer to Figure 2 In order to increase the number of passengers in the vehicle 100, in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include a rear seat 30, which is disposed in the passenger compartment 101. In this way, the rear seat 30 may also provide a seating position for passengers.
[0067] Knowable, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rear seats 30 can be arranged behind the front seats 20. Behind the rear seats 30 is a trunk space, which can be used to place passengers' luggage.
[0068] It is understood that the number of rear seats 30 can be set according to the size of the interior space of the vehicle 100. For example, Figure 2 As shown, there is one row of rear seats 30. Of course, in other embodiments, there may be multiple rows of rear seats 30, which may be arranged according to the size of the interior space of the vehicle 100 and are not further limited herein.
[0069] In order to improve the user experience, Figure 2As shown, the vehicle 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include a vehicle refrigerator system. The vehicle refrigerator system may include a plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40. The vehicle refrigerator system may be arranged in the passenger compartment 101 ( Figure 1 )Inside.
[0070] In this way, by arranging multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 in the passenger compartment 101 of the vehicle 100, the multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 can increase the overall refrigeration space of the vehicle 100, making it convenient for users to store more items that need to be refrigerated and meeting users' demand for large-capacity refrigerators.
[0071] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40 may include a first refrigerator 41 disposed between the driver's seat 21 and the passenger seat 22. In this way, the first refrigerator 41 can utilize the space between the driver's seat 21 and the passenger seat 22, making reasonable use of the space inside the vehicle 100.
[0072] Also, in some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle 100 is shown in another state, in which the opening of the first refrigerator 41 can be facing upward. In this way, passengers in the driver's seat 21 and the passenger seat 22 can open the first refrigerator 41 from above for use, making it more convenient for passengers in the front seat 20 to operate.
[0073] Of course, in other embodiments, the opening of the first refrigerator 41 may also face forward. In this way, the front-row passengers may also open the first refrigerator 41 from the front of the first refrigerator 41 for use, which is more convenient.
[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40 may further include a second refrigerator 42 disposed on the rear seat 30. In this way, passengers sitting on the rear seat 30 can open the second refrigerator 42 for use, which is more convenient to use.
[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 Shown, the opening of the second refrigerator 42 can be forward. Like this, the user can open the second refrigerator 42 from the front of the second refrigerator 42 and use it, which is more convenient to use.
[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, the opening of the second refrigerator 42 may also face upwards. In this way, the user can open the second refrigerator 42 from above the second refrigerator 42 for use, which is also more convenient to use.
[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a portion of the second refrigerator 42 may be located in the trunk space, that is, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a portion of the second refrigerator 42 can be extended to the rear of the rear seats 30 .
[0078] In this way, the second refrigerator 42 occupies a portion of the trunk space, thereby preventing the second refrigerator 42 from occupying a large space in the area where passengers sit, making passengers more comfortable when riding.
[0079] The location of the second refrigerator 42 can be designed according to actual conditions. Figure 2 As shown, the rear seat 30 may include a plurality of seat backs 31 spaced apart and arranged side by side. The second refrigerator 42 may be arranged between two adjacent seat backs 31 .
[0080] In this way, the passenger sitting in front of the seat back 31 can use the second refrigerator 42 from the hand side of the passenger, which is convenient for operation. Figure 2 In the solution shown, when the opening of the second refrigerator 42 is arranged to face forward, the passenger can operate the second refrigerator 42 better.
[0081] In other embodiments, the second refrigerator 42 may be positioned below the rear seats 30. Alternatively, the second refrigerator 42 may be positioned between the rear seats 30 and the sidewalls of the vehicle body 10. This allows passengers in the rear seats 30 to conveniently use the second refrigerator 42. In this case, the opening of the second refrigerator 42 may face upward, allowing passengers to access the second refrigerator 42 from above.
[0082] In some embodiments, the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40 may further include a third refrigerator (not shown) disposed between the front seats 20 and the rear seats 30. Thus, by providing the third refrigerator, the overall refrigeration space of the vehicle 100 is further increased, better meeting the user's need for large-capacity storage space.
[0083] The opening of the third refrigerator can be configured according to actual needs. For example, the opening of the third refrigerator can face upward. This way, passengers in both the front seat 20 and the rear seat 30 can easily access the third refrigerator. Alternatively, the opening of the third refrigerator can face forward. This way, passengers in the front seat 20 can easily open the third refrigerator for use, and passengers in the rear seat 30 can also easily open it.
[0084] Perhaps, the opening of the 3rd refrigerator also can be towards the rear.Like this, the passenger of rear seat 30 can open the 3rd refrigerator easily and use.
[0085] It is understood that the vehicle 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include a compressor. The compressor is connected to the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40 to implement the basic functions of the vehicle refrigerators 40.
[0086] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include an air conditioning system (not shown). The air conditioning system may adjust the temperature within the passenger compartment 101 to provide passengers with a more comfortable ride. The air conditioning system may include an onboard air conditioning compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator to perform the basic functions of the air conditioning system.
[0087] In some embodiments, the vehicle air conditioning system's onboard air conditioning compressor can be connected to multiple vehicle refrigerators 40. This allows for reuse of the vehicle air conditioning compressor, eliminating the need for separate compressors to perform the basic functions of the vehicle refrigerator 40. This saves space, reduces energy consumption, and also reduces noise and heat emissions from multiple compressors.
[0088] In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include a control device (not shown). The control device may be electrically connected to the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40. Thus, the control device may be used to control the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40, making the control of the plurality of vehicle refrigerators 40 more convenient and efficient.
[0089] In some embodiments, the control device may include at least one of a vehicle display screen, a voice operation module, and a wireless communication module. In this way, multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 can be operated in different ways, making the operation more diverse and convenient.
[0090] For example, if the control device includes an onboard display screen, the passenger can operate the vehicle refrigerator 40 by operating the onboard display screen. If the control device includes a voice control module, the passenger can directly operate the vehicle refrigerator 40 by voice. If the control device includes a wireless communication module, the passenger's terminal device can be connected to the wireless communication module. In this way, the user can operate the vehicle refrigerator 40 through the terminal device.
[0091] Next, the multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 in the vehicle refrigerator system provided by the embodiment of the present application are introduced. Among them, the first refrigerator 41, the second refrigerator 42 and the third refrigerator are one of the multiple vehicle refrigerators 40.
[0092] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a vehicle refrigerator 40 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5This is a cross-sectional view of another vehicle refrigerator 40 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle refrigerator 40 may include an inner container 401, an evaporation component 402, and a heating element 403 ( Figure 8 ). The inner liner 401 has a storage cavity. The storage cavity can be used to store items. It is understood that the storage cavity surrounded by the inner liner 401 has an opening to facilitate the user to put in and take out items.
[0093] The evaporation assembly 402 is disposed on the periphery of the inner container 401 and is in thermal communication with the inner container 401. Thus, the evaporation assembly 402 can exchange heat with the inner container 401, thereby lowering the temperature of the inner container 401 wall and thus lowering the temperature inside the inner container 401, thereby achieving a cooling effect for the vehicle refrigerator 40.
[0094] Heating element 403 is disposed on the periphery of inner container 401 and is in thermal communication with inner container 401. Heating element 403 exchanges heat with inner container 401, raising the temperature of the inner wall of inner container 401. By providing heating element 403 on the periphery of inner container 401, the vehicle refrigerator 40 can also achieve heat preservation and heating functions, allowing for storage of items requiring heat preservation and heating.
[0095] Furthermore, because the vehicle refrigerator system provided in this embodiment includes multiple vehicle refrigerators 40, it can meet users' needs for different storage temperatures. For example, one of the multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 can heat the items in the storage cavity using the heating element 403, while another of the multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 can cool the items in the storage cavity using the evaporation element 402 to refrigerate or freeze the items.
[0096] For another example, when the user needs to freeze and refrigerate different items, the temperatures of multiple vehicle refrigerators 40 can be made different by adjusting the cooling effect of the evaporation component 402, so that one vehicle refrigerator 40 can be used to refrigerate items and another vehicle refrigerator 40 can be used to freeze items.
[0097] In some embodiments, the heating element 403 can be located outside the evaporation assembly 402. This allows for better positioning of the heating element 403 and the evaporation assembly 402, making placement more convenient. Alternatively, the evaporation assembly 402 can be located outside the heating element 403. Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element 403 and the evaporation assembly 402 can also be positioned side by side outside the inner tank 401.
[0098] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an inner container 401 and an evaporation component 402 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present application, illustrating the structure of an inner liner 401 and an evaporation assembly 402. The evaporation assembly 402 may include multiple heat exchange tubes 4021. These tubes are arranged around the outer periphery of the inner liner 401 and mounted on the inner liner 401 to circulate refrigerant. This allows for better heat exchange with the inner liner 401, ensuring efficient heat exchange between the evaporation assembly 402 and the inner liner 401.
[0099] In order to ensure the heat exchange effect between the inner tank 401 and the evaporation component 402 and the heating element 403, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the inner container 401 may include a bottom wall 4011 and a side wall 4012 arranged around the bottom wall 4011. The evaporation component 402 is at least partially arranged around the periphery of the side wall 4012. Figure 8 ) is arranged at least partially around the periphery of the side wall 4012.
[0100] In this way, the contact area between the evaporation component 402 and the heating element 403 and the side wall 4012 is larger, and the evaporation component 402 and the heating element 403 can better exchange heat with the side wall 4012 of the inner tank 401, ensuring heat exchange efficiency.
[0101] It is understandable that, for different configurations, the heating element 403 and the evaporation component 402 may have different forms. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a heating element 403 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The heating element 403 can be in a sheet-like shape and has a semi-enclosed structure. In this way, it is convenient for the heating element 403 to surround the inner tank 401 ( Figure 6 ) is provided on the side wall 4012.
[0102] Of course, in other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two ends of the evaporation assembly 402 are located on opposite sides of the inner liner 401, opposite the sidewalls 4012. The space between the two ends of the evaporation assembly 402 is opposite the bottom wall 4011. The two ends of the heating element 403 are located on opposite sides of the inner liner 401, opposite the sidewalls 4012. The space between the two ends of the heating element 403 is opposite the bottom wall 4011. In this way, the evaporation assembly 402 and the heating element 403 can exchange heat with the bottom wall 4011 and a portion of the sidewalls 4012. The evaporation assembly 402 and the heating element 403 can also effectively exchange heat with the inner liner 401 wall, ensuring heat exchange efficiency.
[0103] For example, Figure 7 The scheme shown, such as Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of another heating element 403 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The heating element 403 may be a U-shaped structure.
[0104] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle refrigerator 40 may further include a heat insulation board 404. The heat insulation board 404 is arranged on the periphery of the inner container 401. Figure 8 ) is located between the heat insulation board 404 and the inner tank 401.
[0105] In this way, by arranging the heat insulation plate 404 on the periphery of the evaporation component 402 and the heating component 403, the heat can be better isolated to prevent the heat from dissipating outward, so that the inner tank 401 can better exchange heat and ensure the heat exchange effect.
[0106] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an air inlet 4013 and an air outlet 4014 are provided on the wall of the inner liner 401. In this way, the air inside the inner liner 401 can flow through the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014.
[0107] The evaporation assembly 402 is staggered with the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014 and is positioned on the periphery of the inner liner 401. The heating element 403 is staggered with the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014 and is positioned on the periphery of the inner liner 401. This way, the evaporation assembly 402 and the heating element 403 do not affect the air flow at the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014.
[0108] At the same time, if Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, Figure 10 A cross-sectional view of an inner tank 401 and a fan assembly 405 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 11 This is another cross-sectional view of an inner container 401 and a fan assembly 405 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle refrigerator 40 may further include a fan assembly 405. The fan assembly 405 is disposed on the periphery of the inner container 401.
[0109] Among them, Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, Figure 12 This is a structural diagram of a fan assembly 405 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 13 A structural schematic diagram of another fan assembly 405 provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the fan assembly 405 has a fan air inlet 4051 and a fan air outlet 4052 , and the fan assembly 405 also includes an air duct connected between the fan air inlet 4051 and the fan air outlet 4052 .
[0110] The fan inlet 4051 is opposite to and connected to the air outlet 4014, and the fan outlet 4052 is opposite to and connected to the air inlet 4013. In this way, by providing the fan assembly 405, the air flow inside the inner liner 401 can be accelerated, making the temperature inside the inner liner 401 more uniform and the storage effect better.
[0111] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, along the direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 4011, the side wall 4012 is sequentially provided with an air outlet 4014 and an air inlet 4013. Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 The arrow shown is the flow direction of the airflow in the inner tank 401. When the bottom wall 4011 of the inner tank 401 of the car refrigerator 40 is at the bottom, under the action of cold air, the cold air blown out from the air outlet 4014 is blown into the air inlet 4013 under the action of the fan assembly 405. The cold air can sink more smoothly, thereby ensuring that the temperature of various parts of the inner tank 401 is relatively balanced.
[0112] It is understandable that the fan assembly 405 may have different structures depending on the different locations of the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014. Figure 6 As shown, since the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014 are both provided on the side wall 4012. Figure 12 As shown, the fan assembly 405 can be in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped as a whole, and is directly arranged on the side where the air inlet 4013 and the air outlet 4014 are located.
[0113] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the bottom wall 4011 is provided with an air outlet 4014, and the side wall 4012 is provided with an air inlet 4013. Figure 7 The scheme shown, combined with Figure 11 As shown, when the opening of the inner liner 401 faces forward, the air inlet 4013 can be located at the top.
[0114] In this way, Figure 11 As shown, from the air outlet 4014 ( Figure 7 ) is blown into the air inlet 4013 under the action of the fan assembly 405, the cold air can sink more smoothly and the temperature of each part of the inner tank 401 can be more balanced.
[0115] For example, Figure 7 As shown, the inner liner 401 is generally in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. In order to make the fan air inlet 4051 of the fan assembly 405 relative to and connected with the air outlet 4014, the fan air outlet 4052 is relative to and connected with the air inlet 4013. For example, Figure 13As shown, the fan assembly 405 can be arranged in an L-shaped configuration so that the fan outlet 4052 and the air inlet 4013 are opposite and connected, and the fan inlet 4051 and the air outlet 4014 are opposite and connected.
[0116] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, Figure 14 This is a structural diagram of a vehicle refrigerator 40 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 15 This is a structural diagram of another vehicle refrigerator 40 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle refrigerator 40 may further include a housing 406 and a door 407. The door 407 is used to close the storage cavity.
[0117] It can be understood that the outer shell 406 can form a accommodating cavity with an opening, the inner liner 401 can be arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the opening of the inner liner 401 can be arranged opposite to the opening of the outer shell 406, so that the user can put items into the interior of the inner liner 401 through the outer shell 406.
[0118] In some embodiments, opposite sides of the door 407 are detachably connected to the housing 406 so that both sides of the door 407 can open or close the opening of the housing 406. In this way, the door 407 can open the storage cavity of the liner 401 from different sides.
[0119] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the opening of the first refrigerator 41 faces upward, and the left and right sides of the door 407 of the first refrigerator 41 are detachably connected to the outer shell 406. In this way, the passenger in the main driver's seat 21 and the passenger in the front passenger seat 22 can respectively operate the door 407 from the side of the first refrigerator 41 closest to them to open or close the first refrigerator 41, making operation more convenient.
[0120] Of course, in other embodiments, one side of the door 407 can be rotatably connected to the housing 406. In this way, the user can operate one side of the door 407 to open or close the vehicle refrigerator 40. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the second refrigerator 42 is located between the seat backs 31. Figure 3 As shown, the lower side of the door 407 of the second refrigerator 42 can be rotatably connected to the housing 406. In this way, the passenger can operate the door 407 from above to flip it downward to open or close the second refrigerator 42.
[0121] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the vehicle refrigerator 40 may further include a mounting bracket 408. The mounting bracket 408 is disposed outside the housing 406 and connected to the housing 406. The mounting bracket 408 may be used to mount and fix components such as pipes in the vehicle refrigerator system.
[0122] Of course, in other embodiments, the vehicle refrigerator 40 may not include the mounting bracket 408. In this case, other structures in the vehicle 100 may be used to fix and support components such as pipes in the vehicle refrigerator system.
[0123] For example, Figure 14 As shown, the mounting bracket 408 can be provided on the peripheral side of the housing 406. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the first refrigerator 41 is arranged between the main driver's seat 21 and the co-driver's seat 22, the mounting bracket 408 ( Figure 14 ) can be located in front of the housing 406.
[0124] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, the mounting bracket 408 includes a first mounting bracket 4081 and a second mounting bracket 4082. One end of the first mounting bracket 4081 is connected to the housing 406. The second mounting bracket 4082 is located on a side of the housing 406 near the first mounting bracket 4081, one end of the second mounting bracket 4082 is connected to the housing 406, and is spaced apart from the first mounting bracket 4081.
[0125] In this way, the space between the first mounting bracket 4081 and the second mounting bracket 4082 can be used to place components such as pipelines. At the same time, the first mounting bracket 4081 and the second mounting bracket 4082 can play a fixing role.
[0126] In order to realize that both sides of the door 407 are detachably connected to the housing 406, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 As shown, Figure 16 This is a partial enlarged view of the door 407 of the vehicle refrigerator 40 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The door 407 may include an inner door 4071 and an outer door 4072.
[0127] At the same time, if Figure 16 As shown, a position-limiting connection structure 409 is provided between the inner door 4071 and the outer door 4072. The position-limiting connection structure 409 may include a plurality of rotating shafts 4091, a plurality of elastic members 4092 and a position-limiting member 4093.
[0128] Among them, Figure 16 As shown, a rotating shaft 4091 is provided at each end of one side of the door 407 and the housing 406 for detachable rotation connection, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the door 407 and the housing 406. Each rotating shaft 4091 is connected to an elastic member 4092. The other end of each rotating shaft 4091 is also movably connected to a stopper 4093.
[0129] A stopper 4093 is movably mounted on the inner door 4071. For example, a stopper 4093 may be provided with a stopper slot, into which one end of the rotating shaft 4091 may be movably connected. Movement of the stopper 4093 drives the rotating shaft 4091, causing the rotating shaft 4091 at both ends to separate from the outer shell 406, thereby allowing the door 407 to flip open.
[0130] like Figure 17 As shown, Figure 17 for Figure 2 In the partial enlarged view of the center A, a buckle 4073 is provided on the outer door 4072. The buckle 4073 and the limiting member 4093 ( Figure 16 ) connection. In this way, a detachable connection between one side of the door 407 and the shell 406 can be achieved through the buckle 4073 on the outer door 4072.
[0131] Similarly, when one side of the door 407 is rotatably connected to the housing 406, a snap-fit structure can be designed on the door 407 and the housing 406 for snap-fit and separation. The specific design can be made according to actual conditions and will not be further described here. Figure 3 and Figure 18 As shown, Figure 18 for Figure 2 In the partially enlarged view at point B, the lower side of the door 407 of the second refrigerator 42 is rotatably connected to the outer shell 406. The door 407 may also be provided with a latch 4073, which is connected to a corresponding snap-fit structure, and the latch 4073 can achieve locking and relative rotation between the door 407 and the outer shell 406.
[0132] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
