Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle-mounted refrigerators, and in particular relates to a faucet used for a vehicle-mounted refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] While driving, especially long distances or when stuck in traffic, people may feel thirsty at any time. A water tank installed in a car refrigerator allows passengers to easily access drinking water at any time, eliminating the need to carry large quantities of bottled water, reducing space in the car, and being more environmentally friendly than bottled water. A car refrigerator can also regulate the temperature of the water in the tank. In the hot summer, it provides chilled drinking water to quench thirst; in the cold winter, it keeps the water at a comfortable temperature, eliminating the need for freezing. This is especially comforting for the elderly, children, and those with digestive issues. Without a water tank, bottles of water might be scattered throughout the car, creating a cluttered environment. With a water tank, water is centrally stored, helping to keep the car clean and organized.

[0004] Car refrigerators require both a large effective volume and a clean, streamlined appearance, avoiding protrusions within the limited interior space. Existing external faucets on car refrigerators either have a recessed area within the refrigerator's exterior, as described in the aforementioned patent, which infringes upon the refrigerator's effective volume. Alternatively, they protrude from the exterior, disrupting the appliance's overall appearance and making storage inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the technical problems in the prior art that the external faucet on the car refrigerator will encroach on the effective volume of the car refrigerator, or occupy the outer wall space and make it inconvenient to store; one purpose of the utility model is to provide a faucet for a car refrigerator, by arranging the water outlet of the faucet at one end of the flap, and the other end is rotatably connected to the mounting shell, the flap is located in the mounting shell, the appearance is regular, and the space occupied is small; when the flap is rotated out, the water outlet can be extended again, which is convenient for the container to receive water. At the same time, a positioning plate for positioning the flap is also provided to facilitate user operation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a faucet for a car refrigerator, comprising a mounting shell, which is arranged on the outer shell of the car refrigerator; a flap, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting shell; a water hose, one end of which is located on the side of the lower end of the flap facing the mounting shell, and the other end is connected to the water tank in the car refrigerator; a torsion spring, which is arranged between the flap and the mounting shell, and the elastic force of the torsion spring is used to rotate the flap toward the outside of the mounting shell; wherein the lower part of the mounting shell is rotatably connected to a positioning plate; a convex eaves is provided at one end of the flap away from its rotation axis; a limiting opening is provided at one end of the positioning plate facing the convex eaves; the limiting opening can selectively limit the rotation of the convex eaves.

[0007] When the convex eaves are located in the limiting opening, the flap is located in the mounting shell, with a regular appearance and without encroaching on the effective volume of the vehicle refrigerator; when the positioning plate is pressed, the flap automatically pops out to a horizontal state under the elastic force of the torsion spring, and the water supply hose supplies water to the water container, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0008] Furthermore, a hose perforation is provided through the upper part of the mounting shell; an inner concave cavity is provided on the side of the mounting shell away from the flap, and the inner concave cavity is located below the hose perforation and is connected to the hose perforation; a positioning block is provided in the inner concave cavity, and the positioning block presses one end of the torsion spring into the inner concave cavity.

[0009] Specifically, two second mounting cards are symmetrically provided on the outer wall of the positioning block; and the second mounting cards are engaged in the inner concave cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the positioning plate is parallel to the rotation axis of the flip plate; a spring is provided between the lower part of the positioning plate and the mounting shell; the limit opening and the spring are respectively located above and below the rotation axis of the positioning plate; the elastic force of the spring is used to rotate the limit opening toward the direction close to the flip plate.

[0012] The positioning plate will be pressed back and forth, so the plug-in shaft will be subjected to greater pressure and will be severely worn. The reinforcing tube and the concave arc increase the installation strength of the positioning plate. The rotational wear between the plastic parts between the reinforcing tube and the concave arc also reduces the wear of the metal plug-in shaft on the plastic mounting shell.

[0013] Specifically, a second spring positioning column is provided on the side of the positioning plate facing the mounting shell; a first spring positioning column is provided on the side of the mounting shell facing the positioning plate; and both ends of the spring are respectively located on the second spring positioning column and the first spring positioning column.

[0014] Furthermore, a accommodating cavity is provided on the side of the flap facing the mounting shell; a water outlet is provided at one end of the accommodating cavity away from its rotating axis; one end of the water hose is provided on the water outlet and connected with the water outlet; a sealing plate is provided in the accommodating cavity, and the sealing plate seals the water hose in the accommodating cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, first mounting clips are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the mounting shell; and the first mounting clips are connected to the outer shell of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0017] Furthermore, when the convex eaves are located in the limiting opening, the outer sides of the flap and the positioning plate are flush with the outer side of the mounting shell; the flap and the positioning plate completely fill the mounting shell.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The flap for water outlet can be stored in the mounting shell and embedded in the car refrigerator. When not in use, the flap is folded into the mounting shell and flush with the appearance of the installed car refrigerator without occupying the effective volume and external space of the car refrigerator. It pops up only when needed, extending the water connection position for easy water connection. Compared with traditional faucets, it is more convenient to store and more beautiful.

[0020] 2. Use elastic force to pop out the flap, and set a positioning plate to position the flap. When the user holds the water container with one hand, he can operate the position of the flap with one hand, which is simple and convenient to use.

[0021] 3. The structure of the parts prone to wear has been strengthened, and the parts that are difficult to assemble have been split into two parts. The overall structure is streamlined and easy to assemble and install.

[0022] 4. The inner concave cavity increases the area of ​​the hose perforation, making it easier for the water hose to pass through. At the same time, when the torsion spring is installed, the torsion spring is in a relaxed state, making it easier to install the torsion spring. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
