Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle refrigerator technology, and in particular to a vehicle refrigerator with a built-in fan. Background Technology
[0002] Car refrigerators are an extension of household refrigerators, referring to refrigerated cabinets that people can carry in their vehicles when traveling. They are usually placed in the trunk or on the seats inside the car. Due to their small size and ease of use, they are very popular. Refrigerators are used to chill drinks or preserve fruit, allowing people to enjoy chilled food while traveling.
[0003] Currently, there are two main types of car refrigerators on the market: compressor car refrigerators and semiconductor car refrigerators. Semiconductor car refrigerators have gradually gained widespread use in the automotive field due to their advantages such as being able to both cool and heat, having a small size, operating without vibration or noise, and having a long lifespan. By installing a fan inside the refrigerator casing, the airflow within the casing can be improved, thus enhancing the cooling effect.
[0004] For example, patent CN220417718U discloses a refrigeration structure for a vehicle refrigerator. The refrigeration structure includes a refrigerator shell, a storage box disposed inside the refrigerator shell with an open top, a heat-conducting component disposed on the refrigerator shell for transferring heat, and a semiconductor refrigeration component arranged corresponding to the heat-conducting component. The heat-conducting component includes a first heat-conducting plate and a second heat-conducting plate. The first heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the semiconductor refrigeration component, and the second heat-conducting plate extends away from the semiconductor component to the opening of the refrigerator shell. There is an installation gap between the end face of the storage box facing the semiconductor refrigeration component and the first heat-conducting plate, and a suction fan is disposed in the refrigerator shell through the installation gap.
[0005] The problem with the above technology is that since the suction fan is installed between the storage box and the first conductive plate, the air inlet and outlet of the suction fan are blocked by the rear side of the storage box, which will affect the air circulation inside the refrigerator shell. In addition, when the suction fan is damaged, the storage box needs to be removed from the refrigerator shell for replacement.
[0006] To address these technical problems, a vehicle-mounted refrigerator with a built-in fan is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle refrigerator with a built-in fan, which can increase the air flow inside the refrigerator, improve the cooling effect, and at the same time not affect the storage space of the storage box, and facilitate the installation and removal of the fan.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: a vehicle refrigerator with a built-in fan, including a refrigerator shell, a storage box with an upper opening is movably disposed inside the refrigerator shell, a mounting groove with a front opening is provided on the rear side wall of the refrigerator shell, the mounting groove is located above the storage box, a fan is detachably connected to the mounting groove, and a front cover is detachably connected to the opening of the mounting groove.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the front cover is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the air inlet being connected to the air inlet end of the fan, and the air outlet being connected to the air outlet end of the fan.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the mounting groove is provided with a groove, and a ventilation channel is formed between the groove and the front cover. The ventilation channel is connected to the air outlet and the air vent of the fan.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper and lower ends of the mounting groove are provided with slots, and the upper and lower ends of the front cover are provided with ears, which are engaged with the slots.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a threaded post is provided in the mounting groove, and a through hole is provided on the side end of the fan. The projection of the through hole overlaps with the threaded post, and a screw is also included. The screw passes through the through hole and is screwed to the threaded post.
[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a wiring groove is provided in the mounting groove.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the refrigerator shell includes an inner liner that runs through the front and back and a rear cover that is fixedly disposed at the rear end of the inner liner, and the mounting groove is disposed on the rear cover.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: since the mounting groove is located above the storage box, the air inlet and outlet of the fan will not be blocked by the back of the storage box, which can effectively circulate the air inside the refrigerator shell. In addition, there is a certain distance between the storage box and the top of the refrigerator shell. When disassembling and assembling the fan, the user can easily reach into the shell to disassemble and assemble the fan by pulling out the storage box, without having to remove the storage box from the refrigerator shell, which is convenient and quick.
