The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a transmission mechanism and a vehicle-mounted refrigerator are provided. The transmission mechanism includes a fixed bracket 1, a drive motor 2, and a transfer assembly 3 that is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 2. The fixed bracket 1 is provided with a positioning structure for fixedly installing the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3. The axes of the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3 are coaxially arranged on the fixed bracket 1 through the positioning structure; the fixed bracket 1 is also provided with a shock-absorbing structure 4 for absorbing vibrations generated by the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3.

[0037] Specifically, the transmission mechanism integrates the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3 into one through the fixed bracket 1 to form a modular setting; the positioning structure ensures the coaxial setting of the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3 on the fixed bracket 1, ensuring that the output shaft of the drive motor 2 can smoothly transmit power to the transfer assembly 3, avoiding the offset or vibration problems caused by asymmetric installation; the shock-absorbing structure 4 effectively reduces the vibration transmission generated by the drive motor 2 and the transfer assembly 3 during operation, further improving the stability of the transmission mechanism.

[0038] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning structure includes a first installation area 101 for installing the drive motor 2 . A fixing seat 1011 matching the drive motor 2 is provided on the first installation area 101 , and at least a portion of the drive motor 2 is located on the fixing seat 1011 .

[0039] Specifically, the fixing seat 1011 matches the structure of the drive motor 2, ensuring that the drive motor 2 can be firmly mounted on the fixing bracket 1, and ensuring that the output shaft of the drive motor 2 and the transmission shaft of the transfer assembly 3 are on the same axis, ensuring the coaxial setting of the transmission mechanism.

[0040] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning structure also includes a second installation area 102 for installing the transfer assembly 3, the transfer assembly 3 includes a coupling 301 and a bearing 302, and a positioning portion 1021 for installing the coupling 301 and the bearing 302 is provided on the second installation area 102. The coupling 301 and the bearing 302 are located on the positioning portion 1021 and the output shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to one end of the coupling 301.

[0041] Specifically, the positioning portion 1021 ensures that both the coupling 301 and the bearing 302 can be securely and precisely mounted on the fixed bracket 1, thereby ensuring that the output shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to one end of the coupling 301 on the same axis; wherein, the coupling 301 is used to transmit the rotational motion of the output shaft of the drive motor 2 to the transmission screw 303, and ensure the reliability and stability of power transmission; the bearing 302 is used to support the transmission screw 303 to reduce friction.

[0042] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the transfer assembly 3 also includes a transmission screw 303, and a guide portion 1022 is also provided on the second installation area 102, and a slide groove 1023 is provided on the guide portion 1022. The transmission screw 303 is located on the slide groove 1023, and the bearing 302 is cooperatively connected to one end of the transmission screw 303, and one end of the transmission screw 303 is transmission-connected to the other end of the coupling 301.

[0043] Specifically, the transmission screw 303 can efficiently convert the rotational power of the drive motor 2 into linear power. A guide portion 1022 is provided on the second installation area 102, on which a slide groove 1023 is opened. The transmission screw 303 is located in the slide groove 1023. The setting of the slide groove 1023 ensures the fixation and guidance of the transmission screw 303, so that the transmission screw 303 remains on the correct motion trajectory during rotation to prevent deviation or shaking.

[0044] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, there is a clearance fit between the transmission screw 303 and the bearing 302, which can effectively control the rotation friction noise and the vibration caused by the vibration of the transmission screw 303.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixing bracket 1 is integrally formed of at least nylon and glass fiber materials. The fixing bracket 1 is integrally formed of nylon + glass fiber materials, and the straightness of its slide groove 1023 is precisely controlled, thereby reducing friction resistance during sliding.

[0046] Furthermore, the drive screw 303 is at least partially made of metal. Specifically, it is made of stainless steel 301, with a surface finish of 0.2 μm, significantly reducing frictional resistance. Each rotation of the drive motor 2 produces a 4 mm lead for the screw 303, effectively controlling the relationship between speed and stroke. The speed also affects operating noise.

[0047] Furthermore, the transmission screw 303 has a trapezoidal thread around its circumference.

[0048] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transfer assembly 3 also includes a sleeve 5 connected to the other end of the transmission screw 303 , a positioning seat 1024 is provided on the guide portion 1022 , a buckle 501 is provided on the sleeve 5 , and the sleeve 5 is installed on the positioning seat 1024 via the buckle 501 .

[0049] Specifically, the other end of the transmission screw 303 is connected to the shaft sleeve 5 through the shaft sleeve 5, which serves to fix and support the end of the transmission screw 303, ensuring that the transmission screw 303 remains stable and moves precisely along the specified path during rotation without deviation or shaking; the shaft sleeve 5 can be firmly fixed on the positioning seat 1024 through the buckle 501.

[0050] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the output shaft of the drive motor 2 , the coupling 301 , the bearing 302 , the transmission screw 303 and the axis of the sleeve 5 are coaxially arranged on the fixed bracket 1 .

[0051] Specifically, the coaxial arrangement enables the output shaft of the drive motor 2, the coupling 301, the bearing 302, the transmission screw 303 and the sleeve 5 to be coaxial during operation, reducing the eccentricity or axial misalignment between the various components and ensuring the smoothness of power transmission.

[0052] Further, if Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the shock absorbing structure 4 includes a first shock absorbing member 401 and a second shock absorbing member 402. The first shock absorbing member 401 is arranged on the front end of the fixed bracket 1, and the second shock absorbing member 402 is arranged on the rear end of the fixed bracket 1. The outer peripheral edge of the fixed seat 1011 is provided with a plurality of connecting parts 1012, and the connecting parts 1012 are provided with through holes 10121. The first shock absorbing member 401 is installed on the through holes 10121; the fixed bracket 1 is provided with a recess 103, and the second shock absorbing member 402 is installed on the recess 103.

[0053] Specifically, the first shock absorber 401 is installed at the front end of the fixed bracket 1, which can effectively absorb the vibration generated by the drive motor 2 and prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the entire fixed bracket 1; the second shock absorber 402 is installed at the rear end of the fixed bracket 1, which can effectively absorb the vibration of the transmission screw 303 during operation; by respectively arranging the first shock absorber 401 and the second shock absorber 402 at the front and rear ends of the fixed bracket 1, the entire transmission mechanism can fully absorb and buffer vibrations from different parts during operation.

[0054] Further, if Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the transfer assembly 3 also includes a sliding block 304 that is connected to the transmission screw 303. When the transmission screw 303 rotates, it drives the sliding block 304 to slide horizontally on the guide portion 1022. A guide structure is provided between the sliding block and the guide portion 1022. The guide structure includes a guide rib 10221 and a guide groove 3041. The guide rib 10221 is provided on the guide portion 1022, and the guide groove 3041 is provided on the sliding block 304. The guide portion 1022 slides on the guide rib 10221 of the guide portion 1022 through the guide groove 3041.

[0055] Specifically, when the transmission screw 303 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 2, the rotational motion of the transmission screw 303 is converted into linear motion through the sliding block 304. Under the guidance of the guide rib 10221, the sliding block 304 slides along the guide portion 1022 through the guide groove 3041, so that the sliding block 304 does not deviate or shake during the movement, and maintains a precise motion path, thereby ensuring that the movement generated by the transmission screw 303 can be smoothly converted into the linear movement of the drawer 10.

[0056] It should be noted that the threaded connection between the sliding block 304 and the transmission screw 303 converts the rotational motion into a linear sliding motion, and slides smoothly on the guide portion 1022 .

[0057] Furthermore, the sliding block 304 is at least formed of POM material. Specifically, this material has excellent self-lubrication and wear resistance, with a surface finish controlled within 0.8 μm. It should be noted that the self-lubricating properties of POM further reduce noise during operation, extend the service life of the component, and reduce the increase in noise caused by wear.

[0058] Furthermore, friction noise mainly comes from the contact friction between the various components in the transmission system. In order to reduce friction noise, the transmission screw 303 is made of stainless steel 301, and its surface finish is controlled at 0.2μm, which greatly reduces friction resistance; the fixed bracket 1 is made of nylon + glass fiber material in one piece, and the straightness of its slide groove 1023 is precisely controlled to reduce friction resistance during sliding; the sliding block 304 is made of wear-resistant POM (polyoxymethylene) material, which has good self-lubrication and wear resistance, and the surface finish is controlled within 0.8μm; it should be pointed out that the self-lubricating properties of POM material further reduce the noise during operation, extend the service life of the components, and reduce the increase in noise caused by wear.

[0059] Further, if Figure 3 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, an anti-collision gasket 7 is provided on the sliding block 304 , and an upwardly extending support portion 3042 is provided on the sliding block 304 , and the anti-collision gasket 7 is provided on the support portion 3042 .

[0060] Specifically, the anti-collision gasket 7 is mainly used to absorb and alleviate the impact force that may be generated by the sliding block 304 during movement; the setting of the support part 3042 provides space and support for installing the anti-collision gasket 7; when the transmission screw 303 drives the sliding block 304 to move, the sliding block 304 slides on the guide part 1022, and the sliding block 304 contacts the end of the guide part 1022 or other obstacles. The anti-collision gasket 7 can avoid direct collision between the sliding block 304 and other components.

[0061] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a sealing structure is further provided on the fixing bracket 1 , and the sealing structure includes a sealing member 8 , and an opening 801 is provided on the sealing member 8 . The sealing member 8 is sleeved on the positioning portion 1021 through the opening 801 .

[0062] Specifically, the sealing structure is used to prevent dust, moisture or other external contaminants from entering the interior of the transmission mechanism, thereby extending the service life of the parts.

[0063] Further, if Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the sealing member 8 includes a flange 802 and a sealing portion 803, the flange 802 is in sealing contact with the fixing bracket 1; the sealing portion 803 wraps around the positioning portion 1021, and a positioning groove 8031 ​​is provided on the sealing portion 803, and the sealing portion 803 is sealed with the guide portion 1022 through the positioning groove 8031; the sealing portion 803 is conical or square in shape.

[0064] Specifically, the flange 802 ensures a tight connection between the seal and the fixed bracket 1; the positioning groove 8031 ​​on the sealing part 803 is used to seal with the guide part 1022, ensuring that the sealing part 803 can be tightly attached to the guide part 1022, further enhancing the sealing effect; the sealing part 803 is set to be conical or square, which can provide a better sealing compression effect, and is suitable for applications requiring precise sealing.

[0065] It should be noted that the sealing portion 803 can be selected in different shapes according to specific application requirements.

[0066] like Figure 11 As shown, a vehicle refrigerator includes a vehicle refrigerator body 9 and a drawer 10 arranged on the vehicle refrigerator body 9. The vehicle refrigerator body 9 is provided with a lock 901 and a transmission mechanism for pushing the lock 901 and the drawer 10.

[0067] Specifically, the lock catch 901 is a device for fixing the drawer 10 to prevent the drawer from accidentally sliding out due to vibration during the driving process of the vehicle. The output shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to the transmission screw 303 through the coupling 301, and the drive screw rotates; as the transmission screw 303 rotates, the sliding block 304 moves smoothly on the guide portion 1022, pushing the drawer 10 to open. Through the stable speed control of the drive motor 2, the transmission screw 303 rotates one circle, and the sliding block 304 moves forward 4mm. The sliding block 304 slides along the guide portion 1022, thereby pushing the lock catch 901 to unlock, so that the drawer 10 The drawer 10 is opened by sliding along the vehicle refrigerator body 9. When the drawer 10 is opened to 65 mm, it immediately reverses and returns to its original position, ensuring that the translation slider 304 can return to its original position quickly, providing good conditions for the user to manually close the drawer 10. On the one hand, automatic door opening reduces the user's operating steps and improves the convenience of use; on the other hand, manually closing the drawer 10 conforms to the operating habits of most users and gives the user a more direct control experience. Since the drive motor 2 has returned to its original position in advance, the manual closing process becomes smoother and there will be no conflict between the drive motor 2 and the manual operation.

[0068] The arrangement of the first shock absorber 401 and the second shock absorber 402 allows the drive motor 2 and the transmission screw 303 to absorb and buffer possible vibrations during operation, reducing the possibility of vibrations being transmitted to the vehicle refrigerator body 7, thereby improving the stability of the system and user experience.

[0069] It should be pointed out that a Hall switch for detecting the drive motor 2 or the transmission screw 303 is provided inside the drive motor 2 or near the drive motor 2. When the drive motor 2 is started, the Hall switch will generate a corresponding pulse signal according to the rotation of the drive motor 2. The pulse signal corresponds to the number of revolutions of the drive motor 2. By counting these signals through the control system, the distance moved by the translation slider 304 can be accurately determined. When the drawer 10 is opened to 65 mm, the Hall switch detects that the drive motor 2 has rotated a predetermined number of revolutions. The control system determines that the sliding block 304 has reached the specified position and then issues an instruction to stop the forward rotation of the drive motor 2 and start the reverse rotation. When retracting, the current change of the drive motor 2 is monitored by the stall detection to determine whether the translation slider 304 has returned to the initial position, ensuring that the drive motor 2 can be correctly reset after the operation is completed, providing a guarantee for the next operation.
