[0035] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "one", "an" and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include plural forms. The terms "comprise", "include", "contain" and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring them to be performed in the specific order described or illustrated, unless the order of execution is clearly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0037] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used in the text to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms can only be used to distinguish an element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, terms such as "first", "second" and other numerical terms do not imply order or sequence when used in the text. Therefore, the first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below can be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teaching of the example embodiments.

[0038] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "inside," "outside," "below," "beneath," "above," and the like. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures.

Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, Figure 2 and Figure 6The H direction in the middle represents the height direction of the shell 11. The first aspect of the utility model proposes a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, including a heat exchanger 100, a water storage component 10 and a water absorption component 20. The heat exchanger 100 is used to exchange heat with the refrigerant when the refrigerator is refrigerated. The water storage component 10 is arranged below the heat exchanger 100. The water storage component 10 has a water storage space 12. The water storage space 12 is used to receive the liquid generated on the outer surface of the heat exchanger 100. The water absorption component 20 is arranged in the water storage space 12 and is used to absorb the liquid.

[0040] It is understandable that the vehicle refrigerator is integrated into the interior of the vehicle, and many electrical components are integrated around it, which has high requirements for waterproofing. The heat exchanger 100 can be the evaporator of the vehicle refrigerator, and its function is to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the air to vaporize the refrigerant, and the vaporization absorbs heat to create a low-temperature environment for the vehicle refrigerator. During the refrigeration process of the heat exchanger 100, the water vapor in the air condenses into frost at low temperatures. Excessive frosting will affect the efficiency and performance of the heat exchanger 100. Therefore, a defrosting heating wire is provided at the bottom of the heat exchanger 100. When there is a certain amount of frost on the surface of the heat exchanger 100, the heating wire is started, and the frost on the surface of the heat exchanger 100 will melt to produce defrost water. The defrost water drips into the water storage space 12 below for collection, and is adsorbed by the water absorption component 20 to prevent it from shaking and overflowing. The water storage assembly 10 can have a box-like structure, with an opening 111 provided on the box-like structure to receive defrost water, or the defrost water can be received by a water receiving tray 30 and discharged into the water storage assembly 10 through a drain pipe 33. The water storage assembly 10 can also have a frame-like structure, creating a cubic interior space, with the water absorption assembly 20 fixed within the interior space to enable water storage. The water absorption assembly 20 can be made of multiple layers of absorbent material, such as a non-woven fabric 21, or a block of absorbent material, such as a sponge block.

[0041] The vehicle-mounted refrigerator proposed in the first aspect of the present invention is provided with a water storage assembly 10 below the heat exchanger 100 to receive the defrost water generated by the heat exchanger 100 during defrosting, and a water absorption assembly 20 is provided in the water storage assembly 10 so that the defrost water can be absorbed by the water absorption assembly 20, thereby reducing the phenomenon of defrost water overflowing from the water storage assembly 10 during driving of the vehicle, thereby improving the reliability of electrical components in the vehicle.

[0042] like Figure 5-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle refrigerator also includes a water receiving tray 30, which is arranged below the heat exchanger 100 and above the water storage assembly 10. A water receiving trough 31 is formed on the side of the water receiving tray 30 facing the heat exchanger 100, and the water receiving tray 30 also has a drainage hole 32, which is used to discharge the defrost water in the water receiving trough 31 into the water storage space 12.

[0043] It is understandable that a water receiving pan 30 can be provided below the heat exchanger 100. The shape of the water receiving pan 30 is adapted to the bottom end of the heat exchanger 100 and can be rectangular. The area of the water receiving pan 30 can be slightly larger than the projected area of the heat exchanger 100 along its own height direction, so that all the defrost water of the heat exchanger 100 can be received by the water receiving pan 30. A water receiving trough 31 can be provided on the upper side of the water receiving pan 30 so that the defrost water gathers after dripping into the water receiving trough 31 and does not overflow outside the water receiving pan 30. A drainage hole 32 can be provided at the lowest point of the water receiving trough 31 to facilitate the defrost water to gather at the drainage hole 32 and flow into the water storage space 12 through the drainage hole 32.

[0044] like Figure 1-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle refrigerator further includes a drain pipe 33 , one end of the drain pipe 33 is connected to the drain hole 32 , and the other end of the drain pipe 33 is connected to the water storage space 12 .

[0045] It is understandable that the drain pipe 33 is provided between the water receiving tray 30 and the water storage assembly 10 , and the drain pipe 33 is used to guide the water stored in the water receiving tank 31 into the water storage space 12 .

[0046] like Figure 5-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-sectional area of the water receiving groove 31 gradually decreases along the direction from the heat exchanger 100 to the water storage assembly 10 , and the drainage hole 32 is set at the lowest point of the water receiving groove 31 .

[0047] It can be understood that the water receiving trough 31 can be an inverted pyramid shape, so that the cross-section of the water receiving trough 31 is V-shaped, or the water receiving trough 31 can be hemispherical, so that the cross-section of the water receiving trough 31 is semicircular, so that the water receiving trough 31 has a lowest point and a downward-sloping trough wall, so that the defrost water can gather to the drainage hole 32 at the lowest point and flow out, reducing the phenomenon of water accumulation in the water receiving trough 31.

[0048] like Figure 4-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle refrigerator further includes a compressor 200 and a fan 300. The compressor 200 is used to transport or compress the refrigerant. The blowing direction of the fan 300 is set toward the compressor 200. The water storage assembly 10 includes a shell 11. The shell 11 is located between the fan 300 and the compressor 200. A water storage space 12 is defined in the shell 11. Along the blowing direction of the fan 300, at least one ventilation hole is provided at opposite ends of the shell 11, and the ventilation hole is connected to the water storage space 12.

[0049] It can be understood that the compressor 200 is used to transport or compress the refrigerant. The compressor 200 will generate heat during operation. When the heat is too high, the efficiency of the compressor 200 will be reduced. Therefore, the compressor 200 is set in the blowing direction of the fan 300, and the compressor 200 can be cooled by air cooling. The water storage component 10 can also be set between the compressor 200 and the fan 300, so that the blowing of the fan 300 can blow the defrost water in the water storage component 10 to the compressor 200, thereby better cooling the compressor 200. Specifically, the water storage component 10 includes a shell 11, which can be a box-type structure or a frame structure. The interior of the shell 11 defines a water storage space 12 and is used to set a water absorption component 20. The shell 11 is provided with at least one ventilation hole on opposite sides of the blowing direction. The ventilation hole can be circular or rectangular, formed by an opening in the shell 11, or by a gap in the frame structure, so that the air blown by the fan 300 can be blown into the water storage space 12 from the ventilation hole on one side, and blown out to the compressor 200 from the ventilation hole on the other side, forming an air duct from the fan 300 to the compressor 200, so as to enhance the cooling effect of the compressor 200.

[0050] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water-absorbing component 20 includes at least one layer of non-woven fabric 21 .

[0051] It is understandable that the non-woven fabric 21 has good water absorption and can store more defrost water. The non-woven fabric 21 can be provided in one layer or multiple layers in the water storage space 12 to absorb more defrost water.

[0052] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the blowing direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the shell 11, the number of non-woven fabrics 21 is multiple layers, and the multiple layers of non-woven fabrics 21 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the shell 11, and the position of the ventilation holes is located between two adjacent layers of non-woven fabrics 21.

[0053] It can be understood that the blowing direction of the fan 300 can be parallel to the horizontal direction, the non-woven fabric 21 can be provided with multiple layers and parallel to the blowing direction, the edge of the non-woven fabric 21 can be connected through the snap-on structure or the hook structure on the inner wall of the shell 11, so that the non-woven fabric 21 is fixed in the water storage space 12, and the non-woven fabric 21 is provided with multiple layers along the height direction of the shell 11, which can accommodate more defrost water, and the space between the two adjacent layers of non-woven fabric 21 can be used as a buffer space to further accommodate the defrost water and reduce the phenomenon of defrost water splashing. The position of the ventilation hole in the height direction of the shell 11 is located between the two adjacent layers of non-woven fabric 21, so that the air blowing of the fan 300 can pass through the shell 11 between the two adjacent layers of non-woven fabric 21, take away the defrost water on the non-woven fabric 21, and blow it to the compressor 200 to cool the compressor 200.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water storage space 12 has an opening 111 , and the opening 111 is arranged toward the heat exchanger 100 .

[0055] It is understood that an opening 111 can be provided at the top of the housing 11, i.e., the side of the housing 11 facing the heat exchanger 100. This allows the defrost water in the water storage space 12 to evaporate through the opening 111, thereby reducing water accumulation. Furthermore, the opening 111 can be directly connected to the bottom of the heat exchanger 100, allowing the defrost water produced by the heat exchanger 100 to drip into the water storage space 12 through the opening 111 and be collected, thereby reducing the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle refrigerator further includes a condenser, and the air inlet of the fan is disposed adjacent to the condenser.

[0057] like Figure 6-7 As shown, it can be understood that the condenser 400 can be arranged on the side of the fan 300 away from the shell, so that the heat generated by the condenser 400 during heat exchange can be sucked into the fan 300 from the air inlet of the fan 300 and blown into the water storage space 12, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the liquid in the water storage space 12 and being blown to the compressor 200 by the fan 300, thereby cooling the compressor 200, further improving the cooling efficiency of the compressor 200 and reducing the water storage in the water storage space 12.

[0058] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle, comprising the vehicle-mounted refrigerator provided in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0059] It can be understood that the car refrigerator proposed in the present invention can be integrated with the vehicle, for example, it can be set in the armrest box in the front or rear row of the vehicle, or other locations with ample space, such as the glove box of the co-driver's seat, so that the interior of the vehicle is more beautiful, and the car refrigerator can conveniently utilize the vehicle's power supply and supporting systems, with a more compact structure and higher integration.

[0060] The interior of the vehicle proposed in the second aspect of the present invention is equipped with the vehicle refrigerator proposed in the first aspect of the present invention. The vehicle refrigerator is equipped with a water storage component 10 below the heat exchanger 100 to receive the defrost water generated by the heat exchanger 100, and a water absorption component 20 is provided in the water storage component 10 so that the defrost water can be absorbed by the water absorption component 20, thereby reducing the overflow of defrost water in the water storage component 10 during driving of the vehicle, thereby improving the reliability of electrical components in the vehicle.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle further includes an armrest box (not shown in the figures), and the vehicle refrigerator is installed in the armrest box.

[0062] It can be understood that the vehicle refrigerator proposed in the present invention is a front-mounted vehicle refrigerator, which is integrated in the armrest box, can make full use of the space in the armrest box, and is convenient for front and rear passengers to use.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes 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 in 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.
