[0044] Reference below Figures 1-8 The refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The refrigerator 100 can effectively solve the problem of uneven cooling radiation of objects, improve the cooling uniformity and cooling speed of objects, and enhance the user experience.

[0045] like Figures 1-8As shown, a refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a drive assembly. It should be noted that the refrigerator 100 of this embodiment can be used in vehicles, kitchens, buses, and outdoor settings, is easy to carry, and takes up little space.

[0046] The housing 1 is the outer structure of the refrigerator 100. The drive assembly and other structural components can be installed and fixed inside the housing to protect the drive assembly and other structural components from being affected and damaged by the external environment. A refrigeration space 11 is formed inside the housing 1. That is, the interior of the housing 1 is a cavity to form the refrigeration space 11. The drive assembly can be installed in the refrigeration space 11. Figure 2 As shown, the box body 1 can be constructed as a rectangular structure, a cylindrical structure, an irregular structure, etc., and can be flexibly configured according to actual needs.

[0047] The box body 1 is provided with a refrigeration unit 3, which is used to provide a cold source. Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration component 3 can be installed in the refrigeration space 11 for refrigeration, providing cold air circulation in the refrigeration space 11 to reduce the temperature of the refrigeration space 11. Articles such as food, beverages, medicines and other items that need to be stored at low temperatures can be placed and stored in the refrigeration space 11, thereby achieving cooling of the items.

[0048] Furthermore, a driving assembly is provided in the refrigeration space 11 , and the driving assembly can drive the objects to move so that the objects can face the refrigeration element 3 at different angles.

[0049] It should be noted that when the user places items with a higher temperature in the refrigeration space 11, Figure 5 -Attached Figure 8 As shown, due to the influence of the radiation angle, the article will have a cooling radiation zone 71 (the area where the article is directly subjected to radiation cooling) and a non-cooling radiation zone 72 (the area where the article is not directly subjected to radiation cooling). Usually, the cooling radiation zone 71 is the area where the article is close to the refrigeration component 3, and the non-cooling radiation zone 72 is the area where the article is far away from the refrigeration component 3. In this way, after a period of time, there will be serious temperature stratification in the cooling radiation zone 71 and the non-cooling radiation zone 72, that is, the surface area of ​​the article is cooled unevenly, affecting the cooling effect. Therefore, a drive component can be set to solve this problem.

[0050] Specifically, the driving component is arranged in the refrigeration space 11, and the driving component can drive the objects to move in the refrigeration space 11. For example, the objects can be rotated at a certain angle in the refrigeration space 11, so that the non-cooling radiation area 72 of the objects can be close to the refrigeration component 3 and opposite to the refrigeration component 3, so as to cool the surface with a higher temperature, so that the outer surface of the objects is cooled by the radiation cooling effect, thereby improving the uniformity of cooling the objects and solving the problem of uneven cooling radiation that is common among the objects inside the refrigerator 100.

[0051] Thus, the driving component drives the objects to move to increase the effective radiation area of ​​the objects, thereby enhancing the radiation heat exchange between the inner surface of the refrigerator 100 and the objects, improving the heat exchange efficiency, shortening the refrigeration time, and increasing the cooling speed to quickly cool the objects, and making the outer surfaces of the objects evenly cooled by the radiation cooling effect, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] According to the refrigerator 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, a driving component that can drive the movement of objects is arranged in the refrigeration space 11, so that the objects can be relative to the refrigeration component 3 at different angles, so that the objects are more evenly radiated with cold, and the outer surfaces can be quickly cooled, thereby improving the cooling uniformity and cooling speed of the objects and enhancing the user experience.

[0053] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a rotating platform 4, which can drive the object to rotate.

[0054] In other words, the drive assembly can drive the rotating platform 4 to rotate, and when the rotating platform 4 rotates, the object can be rotated together, so that the non-radiation area 72 of the object is close to and opposite the refrigeration element 3, thereby cooling the higher temperature surface and cooling the outer surface of the object by radiation cooling. In an actual design, the rotation of the rotating platform 4 can be driven by a motor. Of course, the rotation of the rotating platform 4 can also be driven by a drive device such as an electric motor.

[0055] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the rotating platform 4 can be constructed in a disc shape, or in a rectangular, elliptical, or irregular shape, and can be set arbitrarily. Figure 5 -Attached Figure 8 As shown, the object is cylindrical, and has a cooling radiation area 71 and a non-cooling radiation area 72, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown in FIG. 1 , when items are first placed in the refrigeration space for cooling, the surface areas of the items facing each other cannot be directly cooled by radiation. This surface area is one-quarter of the surface area of ​​the items, which is an acute angle area when viewed from the top. This is the non-cooling radiation area 72. The cooling radiation area 72 is the remaining three-quarters of the surface area and can be directly cooled by radiation. At this time, the temperature of the cooling radiation area 71 is lower, while the temperature of the non-cooling radiation area 72 is higher. After the rotating platform 4 rotates, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the non-radiative zone 72 rotates outward, closer to the refrigeration element 3. At this point, the previously non-radiative zone 72 can be subjected to radiative cooling to reduce its temperature. Thus, through the continuous rotation of the rotating platform 4, a quarter of the object, i.e., the non-radiative zone 72, is continuously shifted to face the refrigeration element 3, directly receiving radiative cooling for cooling. This achieves uniform cooling of the object and improves its cooling performance.

[0056] In practice, the rotation angle of the rotating platform 4 can be set arbitrarily, and can be any angle such as 30°, 40°, 50°, 65°, 90°, 120°, 180°, 200°, etc., as long as the non-cooled radiation area 72 of the item can be rotated close to and opposite to the refrigeration unit 3. The rotating platform 4 can also be set to rotate at a time, that is, after the item has been cooled for a set period of time, the rotating platform 4 can be rotated by a certain angle to cool the non-cooled radiation area 72 of the item. After another set period of time, the rotating platform 4 can be rotated by a certain angle again to cool the non-cooled radiation area 72 of the item. This cycle is repeated to evenly cool the item. The rotating platform 4 does not generate noise when rotating. When the refrigerator 100 is used in a vehicle, the NVH performance of the vehicle can be improved, and there will be no obvious loss of cooling capacity when the refrigerator 100 is opened, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the rotating platform 4 is used to support items.

[0058] That is, the items can be placed on or in the rotating platform 4 to provide stable support for the items, thereby ensuring the placement stability of the items, so that when the rotating platform 4 drives the items to rotate, the items will not shake or tilt, thereby ensuring the rotation stability of the items.

[0059] In some embodiments, the rotating platform 4 is located at the bottom of the refrigerated space 11 .

[0060] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 2As shown, the rotating platform 4 can be located at the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 to ensure the stability of the installation of the rotating platform 4 and reduce its space occupancy. The rotating platform 4 can be constructed to have the same shape and size as the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 to maximize the area of ​​the rotating platform 4, better support the items, and enhance the placement stability of the items.

[0061] In some embodiments, the rotating platform 4 is formed with an upwardly open receiving groove 41, and the rotating platform 4 is provided with an annular limiting edge 42 surrounding the receiving groove 41. The receiving groove 41 is used to receive at least part of the bottom of the object, and the annular limiting edge 42 is used to limit the object.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper side of the rotating platform 4 is concave to form an upwardly open receiving groove 41, which has a certain depth. When placing items, the receiving groove 41 can accommodate at least part of the bottom of the item to ensure the stable placement of the item and prevent it from tipping over.

[0063] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The receiving groove 41 shown in the figure is a circular groove, and can also be set as a rectangular groove, an irregular groove, etc. The circular groove is more suitable for the bottom shape of bottled or canned items, such as beverages, medicines, water cups, etc., thereby ensuring the stable placement of bottled or canned items.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating platform 4 is also provided with an annular limiting edge 42 surrounding the receiving groove 41. Figure 4 The outer peripheral wall of the receiving groove 41 shown in the figure, the annular limiting edge 42 can surround the bottom periphery of the article to limit the article circumferentially, further improving the placement stability of the article and preventing it from shaking or tipping over.

[0065] It should be noted that the height of the annular limiting edge 42 can be flexibly set according to actual needs and is not limited to that shown in the figure.

[0066] In some embodiments, the rotatable angle of the rotating platform 4 is greater than or equal to 180°.

[0067] That is to say, the rotatable angle of the rotating platform 4 can be set to 180°, 190°, 200°, 250°, etc. The specific rotatable angle can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions. This embodiment is the preferred rotatable angle, and the actual rotatable angle can be set arbitrarily, for example, it can also be set to less than 180°.

[0068] In actual design, the optimal choice of the rotatable angle is set to 180 degrees. In this way, after the items are placed in the refrigeration space 11 and cooled for a period of time, the items can be rotated to the desired angle. Figure 5 -Attached Figure 8 As shown, the non-cold radiation area 72 can be rotated 180° to the placement area of ​​the previous article's cold radiation area 71, and the article's cold radiation area 71 can be rotated accordingly to the placement area of ​​the previous article's non-cold radiation area 72. In other words, the placement positions of the non-cold radiation area 72 and the cold radiation area 71 are swapped, so that the entire outer surface of the article can be cooled and the cooling effect is improved.

[0069] The rotation direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise. In practice, clockwise rotation is preferred. The rotation direction of the rotating platform 4 can be determined by judging the position of the temperature sensor measuring point. The rotation direction of the rotating platform 4 can also be determined by other methods. It can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0070] In some embodiments, the rotating platform 4 is configured to move in an up and down direction.

[0071] It should be noted that, since the refrigerator 100 is arranged relatively compactly in the space inside the passenger compartment when used in a vehicle, in order to maximize the effective volume of the refrigerator 100, that is, the volume of the refrigeration space 11, the depth of the refrigeration space 11 is usually set to be deeper. Such a setting is not conducive to users taking items. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rotating platform 4 is set to move in the up and down directions to improve the convenience of users taking items.

[0072] Specifically, when the rotating platform 4 moves upward, the height of the rotating platform 4 increases, which can make the height of the items placed on the rotating platform 4 rise and close to the upper part of the refrigerator 100. This makes it convenient for users to take items from the upper part, thereby improving the convenience of operation. When the user does not need to take items, the rotating platform 4 can move downward to the bottom of the ice-making space 11 to lower the height of the rotating platform 4 and restore it to its initial state.

[0073] Therefore, the height of the rotating platform 4 can be flexibly adjusted by the up and down movement of the rotating platform 4, so that the height of the items in the refrigeration space 11 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the convenience of users in taking out items.

[0074] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a lifting rod 5 , which is connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 4 and is used to drive the rotating platform 4 to move up and down.

[0075] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the refrigerator 100 is provided with a lifting rod 5, which extends vertically and is connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 4. The lifting rod 5 can be retracted. When the lifting rod 5 is extended, the rotating platform 4 can be driven to rise in the refrigeration space 11, thereby increasing the height of the rotating platform 4, and the height of the items placed on the rotating platform 4 can be increased to be close to the upper part of the refrigerator 100. In this way, it is convenient for users to take items from the upper part, which improves the convenience of operation. When the user does not need to take items, the lifting rod 5 can be restored to the retracted state to lower the height of the rotating platform 4 and restore it to the initial state.

[0076] In actual design, when the lifting rod 5 is in the retracted state, the rotating platform 4 can be set to fit the bottom of the refrigeration space 11, or to be flush with the bottom of the refrigeration space 11, and can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0077] In some embodiments, there are multiple rotating platforms 4 and multiple lifting rods 5 , and the multiple rotating platforms 4 are disposed at the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 in a one-to-one correspondence through the multiple lifting rods 5 .

[0078] That is, the number of rotating platforms 4 and lifting rods 5 can be set to two, three or even more. A bottle of drink or other items can be stably placed on one rotating platform 4. By setting up multiple rotating platforms 4, multiple bottles of drink or multiple other items can be stably placed on multiple rotating platforms 4 and can all rotate with the rotating platforms 4, thereby improving the cooling uniformity of multiple items, increasing the cooling speed, shortening the refrigeration time, and improving the user experience.

[0079] In addition, multiple rotating platforms 4 are arranged at the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 in a one-to-one correspondence through multiple lifting rods 5, that is, each rotating platform 4 is connected to a corresponding lifting rod 5. By setting up multiple lifting rods 5, multiple rotating platforms 4 can be raised and lowered relative to the base 22. In this way, the height of items on each rotating platform 4 can be increased, which is convenient for users to take items and improves convenience of use.

[0080] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 22 is constructed as a rectangular structure, and is provided with four rotating platforms 4 and four lifting rods 5. The four rotating platforms 4 are arranged at the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 in a one-to-one correspondence through the four lifting rods 5. The four rotating platforms 4 are constructed as a circular structure, and can also be set to a rectangular structure, an irregular shape structure, etc. The circular structure conforms to the bottom shape of canned items such as bottled beverages, water cups, and medicines, which can make the items stably placed on the rotating platform 4 while reducing space occupancy. In this way, the accommodating space of the refrigeration space 11 for the rotating platform 4 can be maximized. More rotating platforms 4 are installed at the bottom of the refrigeration space 11, and multiple items can be better controlled, thereby improving the cooling uniformity and cooling speed.

[0081] It should be noted that the number of the rotating platforms 4 and the lifting rods 5 can be flexibly set according to actual needs and space size, and is not limited to that described in this embodiment.

[0082] In some embodiments, at least one of the plurality of rotating platforms 4 is configured to rotate independently.

[0083] In other words, the multiple rotating platforms 4 can rotate independently, that is, asynchronously, without interfering with each other, facilitating control of a single rotating platform 4. Thus, the individual rotation of each rotating platform 4 allows for individual temperature control of a specific item to meet the user's specific needs. Meanwhile, other rotating platforms 4 without items placed on them can remain stationary, thereby reducing energy consumption in the refrigerator 100. Of course, the multiple rotating platforms 4 can also be configured to rotate synchronously at a certain angle, allowing items to rotate together at a certain angle for greater flexibility and convenience.

[0084] When the refrigerator 100 is half loaded, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when there are no items placed on some rotating platforms 4, only the rotating platforms 4 with items can be controlled to rotate, and the other rotating platforms 4 without items are in a stationary state and do not rotate. After the items are first placed in the refrigeration space 11, the temperature of the area where the items are directly affected by cold radiation decreases, while the temperature of the area not affected by cold radiation is still high. At this time, the user can control the rotating platform 4 to rotate a certain angle so that the area not affected by cold radiation is close to the refrigeration component 3 and directly faces the refrigeration component 3, thereby cooling the area not affected by cold radiation and lowering the temperature of the higher temperature surface. The rotation time of the rotating platform 4 can be controlled so that the items rotate at intervals within the specified rotation time to receive uniform cold radiation, thereby enhancing the cold radiation refrigeration effect.

[0085] In other embodiments, at least one of the plurality of rotating platforms 4 is configured to be independently raised and lowered.

[0086] In other words, the multiple rotating platforms 4 can be raised and lowered independently, i.e., asynchronously, without interfering with each other, facilitating height control of a single rotating platform 4. Thus, by independently raising and lowering each rotating platform 4, the height of a specific item can be controlled to meet user needs and facilitate access to items. Other rotating platforms 4 without items can remain idle, further reducing energy consumption of the refrigerator 100. Of course, the multiple rotating platforms 4 can also be set to rise and fall synchronously to a certain height, allowing items to be raised and lowered together for greater flexibility and convenience.

[0087] Therefore, the flexibility and maneuverability of the refrigerator 100 are greatly improved by the independently rotating and independently lifting rotating platform 4, which can reduce the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100 while meeting the user's specialized needs.

[0088] In some embodiments, the lifting rods 5 are extended in the up-down direction and disposed at the bottom of the rotating platform 4 , and a plurality of lifting rods 5 are parallel and spaced apart.

[0089] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the lifting rod 5 extends vertically, that is, it extends in the up and down directions and is arranged at the bottom of the rotating platform 4. Its upper end is connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 4, and its lower end is connected to the bottom of the refrigeration space 11, so that the bottom of the refrigeration space 11 can support the lifting rod 5, ensuring the movement stability of the lifting rod 5, and the lifting rod 5 can be extended and retracted in the up and down directions, which is conducive to driving the rotating platform 4 and objects to rise and fall in the up and down directions, flexibly changing the height to meet user needs.

[0090] The lifting rods 5 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart at a certain distance, so that each lifting rod 5 can work independently and stably, and interference between the lifting rods 5 is avoided.

[0091] In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the rotating platform 4 extends in the up-down direction.

[0092] That is to say, the rotating axis of the rotating platform 4 is vertically arranged and extends in the up and down directions. Thus, the rotating platform 4 can rotate horizontally around the rotation axis, so that the object can rotate stably in the horizontal direction so that the outer surface of the object can face the refrigeration part 3, which is conducive to lowering its temperature.

[0093] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes an inner liner 2 , which is installed in the refrigeration space 11 .

[0094] Specifically, the inner tank 2 is a main component of the refrigerator 100 , and its shape can be adapted to the shape of the box body 1 and smaller than the size of the box body 1 , so that the inner tank 2 can be installed in the refrigeration space 11 .

[0095] Furthermore, the inner liner 2 includes an inner shell 21 and a base 22 . The base 22 is located at the bottom of the inner shell 21 and defines a refrigeration cavity 23 together with the inner shell 22 . The refrigeration component 3 is arranged between the inner shell 21 and the box body 1 , and the drive assembly is installed on the base 22 .

[0096] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, the inner liner 2 includes an inner shell 21 and a base 22, that is, the inner liner 2 is a split structure, consisting of the inner shell 21 and the base 22, so that it is convenient to repair and replace the inner liner 2. When the inner shell 21 or the base 22 is damaged, the inner shell 21 or the base 22 can be removed separately for repair or replacement without replacing the entire inner liner 2 structure, thereby reducing the maintenance cost. Of course, the inner liner 2 can also be set to be integrated, that is, the inner shell 21 and the base 22 are integrated into one body, so that it is convenient to manufacture and clean the inner liner 2.

[0097] Reference Attachment Figure 2 As shown, the upper and lower sides of the inner shell 21 are open, and the base 22 is installed at the bottom of the inner shell 21 to support the inner shell 21 and close the lower side, so that the base 22 and the inner shell 21 together form a refrigeration cavity 23. Items such as food, beverages, and medicines that need to be stored at low temperatures can be placed and stored in the refrigeration cavity 23. Among them, a certain area is separated between the outer peripheral wall of the inner shell 21 and the inner peripheral wall of the box body 1 to form a certain regional space. The refrigeration component 3 can be installed in this regional space for refrigeration. Cold air can pass through the inner liner 2 to cool the refrigeration cavity 23, thereby cooling the items in the refrigeration cavity 23. The refrigeration component 3 can be an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, etc. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the evaporator flat tube is taken as an example. The evaporator flat tube is arranged around the inner tank 2, which increases the contact area with the inner tank 2, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency and quickly cooling the items.

[0098] The driving assembly is installed on the base 22, that is, the base 22 supports the driving assembly so that the rotating platform 4 can stably rotate and lift relative to the base 22 in the refrigeration cavity 23, thereby driving the objects in the refrigeration cavity 23 to stably rotate and lift.

[0099] In some embodiments, the base 22 is formed with an upwardly open mounting groove 221 , the lifting rod 5 is telescopically mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 221 , and the rotating platform 4 is configured to be located in the mounting groove 221 when it descends to the lowest position.

[0100] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the upper portion of the base 22 is concave to form a mounting groove 221 open upward, and the mounting groove 221 is used to mount at least part of the drive assembly. Figure 4 The mounting groove 221 shown in the figure at least accommodates the rotating platform 4 and the lifting rod 5, that is, the shape and size of the mounting groove 221 can be adapted to the shape and size of the rotating platform 4. Figure 4 The rotating platform 4 shown in the figure is a circular structure, and the mounting groove 221 corresponds to a circular groove. The lower end of the lifting rod 5 is mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 221. It should be noted that the depth of the mounting groove 221 should be the same as the height of the rotatable platform 4 so that the rotating platform 4 can be completely installed in the mounting groove 221.

[0101] Thus, when the lifting rod 5 is in the retracted state, that is, when the rotating platform 4 is lowered to the lowest position, the rotating platform 4 can be accommodated in the installation groove 221, so that the surface of the rotating platform 4 is flush with the bottom wall surface of the base 22, and no additional space is occupied in the refrigeration cavity 23, thereby increasing the effective refrigeration capacity of the refrigerator 100 to a certain extent. When the rotating platform 4 needs to be raised, the lifting rod 5 extends, allowing the rotating platform 4 to smoothly emerge from the installation groove 221 and rise to the highest position, making it easier for users to take items.

[0102] In some embodiments, a first heat-insulating component 61 is provided between the inner shell 21 and the cabinet 1 and is located outside the refrigeration component 3 .

[0103] Specifically, the first thermal insulation component 61 can insulate to reduce the transfer and diffusion of temperature. By arranging the first thermal insulation component 61 between the inner shell 21 and the cabinet 1, and being located on the outside of the refrigeration component 3, the first thermal insulation component 61 can wrap the refrigeration component 3, and form an insulation layer between the inner shell 21 and the cabinet 1. In this way, external heat can be prevented from being transmitted to the inner shell 21 through the cabinet 1, and internal cold air can be prevented from being dissipated to the outside through the inner shell 21, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the refrigerator 100, more effectively maintaining the temperature stability in the refrigeration cavity 23, improving the refrigeration efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.

[0104] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, in practice, the first thermal insulation member 61 can be constructed as a thermal insulation board to increase the thermal insulation area of ​​the first thermal insulation member 61. Four first thermal insulation members 61 are provided in the figure. The four first thermal insulation members 61 are closely connected to the inner peripheral wall of the cabinet 1, so that the first thermal insulation members 61 wrap around the refrigeration element 3 on all sides, thereby improving the effect of preventing cold air from leaking out. The thermal insulation board can be attached to the inner peripheral wall of the cabinet 1 so that the first thermal insulation member 61 can be closely connected to the inner peripheral wall of the cabinet 1, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect.

[0105] In other embodiments, a second thermal insulation member 62 is provided between the base 22 and the box body 1 .

[0106] Specifically, the second thermal insulation component 62 can insulate to reduce the transfer and diffusion of temperature. By arranging the second thermal insulation component 62 between the base 22 and the box body 1, an insulation layer can be formed between the base 22 and the box body 1, which is beneficial to reduce the external heat entering the base 22 through the bottom of the box body 1. At the same time, it also prevents the internal cold air from being lost to the outside through the base 22, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the refrigerator 100, more effectively maintaining the temperature stability in the refrigeration cavity 23, improving the refrigeration efficiency, reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100, and allowing the refrigerator 100 to operate more efficiently.

[0107] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, in practice, the second thermal insulation component 62 can be constructed as an insulation board to increase the insulation area of ​​the second thermal insulation component 62. A second thermal insulation component 62 is provided in the figure. The second thermal insulation component 62 is adapted to the shape and size of the base 22 and can be pasted on the inner bottom wall of the box body 1 to be tightly connected with the inner bottom wall of the box body 1 to improve the insulation effect.

[0108] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 includes an upper cover 12 and a main shell 13 . The upper cover 12 is connected to the upper end of the main shell 13 to define a refrigeration space 11 . The upper cover 12 is movable relative to the main shell 13 to open or close the refrigeration space 11 .

[0109] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 includes an upper cover 12 and a main shell 13. The main shell 13 is hollow inside and open at the upper end. The upper cover 12 is connected to the upper end of the main shell 13 to close the upper end of the main shell 13, so that the upper cover 12 and the main shell 13 together define a refrigeration space 11. The upper cover 12 can be connected to the main shell 13 through a connecting component and can move relative to the main shell 13 to achieve opening or closing of the refrigeration space 11. For example, the connecting component can be configured as a rotating shaft, a rotating shaft sleeve, etc., so that the upper cover 12 can rotate at a certain angle relative to the main shell 13. In this way, when the upper cover 12 rotates away from the main shell 13 to open the refrigeration space 11, the refrigeration cavity 23 is also in an open state, and the user can place and take items. Afterwards, the upper cover 12 can be rotated closer to the main shell 13 and cover the upper part of the main shell 13 to close the refrigeration space 11, that is, to seal the refrigeration cavity 23 to prevent cold air from leaking.

[0110] In some embodiments, the upper cover 12 is provided with an opening handle 121 .

[0111] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an opening handle 121 is provided on the upper cover 12. The user can hold the opening handle 121 to open and close the upper cover 12 conveniently and easily, which is convenient for operation and improves the convenience of use.

[0112] In other embodiments, the upper cover 12 is provided with a control structure 122, and the control structure 122 is used to control the action of the driving assembly.

[0113] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the upper cover 12 is provided with a control structure 122, and the control structure 122 can be constructed as a control panel. The user can obtain information about the refrigerator 100 (gear, mode setting, whether the drive component is in action (opening and closing the rotation function of the rotating platform 4, opening and closing the lifting function of the rotating platform 4), etc.) through the control panel, and can set the rotation angle, regular rotation time, lifting height, etc. of the rotating platform 4 through the control panel. For example, the mode can be set to the refrigeration mode, the drive component can be controlled to act, and the rotation function of the rotating platform 4 can be turned on, and the rotation angle of the rotating platform 4 can be set to 180° and the regular rotation time can be set to 5 minutes. In this way, when the object is placed in the refrigeration cavity 23, the rotating platform 4 does not rotate at first, and the surface of the object with a higher temperature is cooled. After 5 minutes, the rotating platform 4 rotates 180° and continues to cool the surface of the object with a higher temperature. After another 5 minutes, the rotating platform 4 rotates 180° again until the user turns off the rotation function and the rotating platform 4 stops rotating.

[0114] The control panel may also be provided with shortcut buttons, through which users can adjust the functions of the car refrigerator 100, thereby improving convenience. Of course, the control panel may also be set to a touch screen.

[0115] In actual design, the driving assembly action, that is, the rotation and lifting of the rotating platform 4, may be controlled manually instead of through the control structure 122. The rotation and lifting of the rotating platform 4 may be directly controlled manually, and the user may flexibly adjust the rotation angle and lifting height.

[0116] The utility model also provides a vehicle.

[0117] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with the refrigerator 100 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0118] Among them, by arranging a driving component that can drive the movement of objects in the refrigeration space 11, the objects can be relative to the refrigeration component 3 at different angles, so that the objects are radiated with cold more evenly, and the outer surfaces can be cooled down quickly, thereby improving the cooling uniformity and cooling speed of the objects, improving the user experience, and no noise is generated, thereby improving the NVH performance of the vehicle and reducing the energy consumption of the refrigerator 100.

[0119] The refrigerator 100 of the present invention has a large effective volume and a small overall footprint, and can be installed in a variety of vehicle models, which is flexible and convenient.
