Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] As mentioned in the background section, in view of the problems in the prior art, this application proposes an on-board temperature chamber with lighting function. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0036] Box 2, the box 2 having an internal storage space 3;
[0037] A light guide shelf 4 is disposed within the accommodating space 3, and divides the accommodating space 3 into a first accommodating space 32 and a second accommodating space 31.
[0038] Specifically, cabinet 2 is a temperature-controlled box capable of cooling or heating. Cabinet 2 is made of high-strength, durable materials to ensure it can withstand a certain weight and external impact. The shape of cabinet 2 can be designed as a cuboid, cube, or other suitable shape according to actual needs. The dimensions of cabinet 2 should be determined based on its usage scenario and the size of the items it contains to provide sufficient storage space. The material of the light-guiding shelf 4 should have good light-guiding properties, such as acrylic, polycarbonate sheet, etc. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shape and size of the light guide shelf 4 should match the internal space of the housing 2 so that it can be stably placed in the storage space 3. The light guide shelf 4 divides the storage space 3 into upper and lower parts, the lower part being the first storage space 32 and the upper part being the second storage space 31.
[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the light guide shelf 4 may also be provided with several evenly distributed first through holes 46 that connect the first accommodating space 32 and the second accommodating space 31, so as to improve the temperature uniformity inside the body 2 of the vehicle temperature box.
[0040] At least one light-emitting component 5 is disposed within the receiving space 3 and on one side of the light-guiding shelf 4 along a first direction. The light-emitting component 5 includes at least one light source for emitting light, which is guided into the first receiving space 323 and / or the second receiving space 31 via the light-guiding shelf 4.
[0041] Specifically, the first direction is the extension direction of the shelf 4, and the light source can be an LED light, which has the advantages of energy saving, long life and high brightness.
[0042] Specifically, the light source can be controlled in various ways, such as manual switches and sensor switches. Manual switches can be located outside the enclosure 2 for easy user operation. When using sensor switches, the following solutions can be adopted:
[0043] Furthermore, the housing 2 is connected to an openable component, which is used to control whether the light source emits light; the openable component includes an upper housing cover 1 located on the top of the housing 2 or a drawer located inside the housing 2.
[0044] Specifically, the cabinet 2 is equipped with an upper cabinet cover 1 connected to the cabinet 2. The upper cabinet cover 1 can be connected to the cabinet 2 via hinges, snaps, or other connection methods to ensure a tight fit when closed, preventing dust and moisture from entering the storage space 3. The cabinet 3 may also have a pull-out drawer. The drawer or the upper cabinet cover 1 serves as an openable component to control whether the light source illuminates. Specifically: when the upper cabinet cover 1 is opened, or the drawer is pulled out, it indicates that there is a need to retrieve or place items, and the light source illuminates. When the upper cabinet cover 1 is closed and the drawer is retracted, the light source turns off. The automatic control of the light source's on / off state based on the opening and closing of the upper cabinet cover 1 or the pushing and pulling of the drawer improves ease of use.
[0045] Specifically, the power source for the light source of this illuminated vehicle temperature box can be connected to the vehicle's power system, such as through the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket or directly to the vehicle's battery. This ensures that the light source operates continuously and stably while the vehicle is in motion, eliminating concerns about insufficient battery power. Furthermore, to prevent damage to the vehicle temperature box from the vehicle's power supply, protective devices such as fuses can be installed in the wiring.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the light source is a lamp panel, and the lamp panel extends in the width direction of the light guide shelf 4.
[0047] Specifically, the light panel uses a thin, energy-efficient LED panel, ensuring sufficient illumination area within a limited space. The light panel can be installed inside the housing 2 using screws, adhesive, or other methods, ensuring its stability and reliability. Furthermore, as... Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, the light panel can also be placed in the first groove 45 opened on the outer periphery of the light guide shelf 4.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the light-guiding shelf 4 includes a light guide plate 42, and each light-emitting component 5 includes at least one first light-emitting source that is coplanar with the light guide plate 42. The first light-emitting source is a light-emitting source that is coplanar with the light guide plate 42.
[0049] Furthermore, the light source is a light panel, and the extension direction of the light panel is a third direction, which is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. Specifically, the third direction is the width direction of the light guide shelf 4.
[0050] Furthermore, the housing device includes two light-emitting components 5, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the light-guiding shelf 4 along the first direction;
[0051] Furthermore, each of the light-emitting components 5 also includes a second light-emitting source 52 disposed on at least one side of the first light-emitting source 51 along a second direction; wherein, the second direction is the height direction of the housing 2; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0052] Furthermore, each of the light-emitting components 5 also includes a second light-emitting source 52 disposed on at least one side of the first light-emitting source 51 along the second direction.
[0053] Specifically, the light guide plate 42 is made of a high-transmittance material, such as acrylic or polycarbonate sheet. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, the light source is in the form of a lamp panel.
[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 6 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 10, a light-emitting component 5 (one light-emitting component 5 in this scenario) can be provided on one side of the light guide shelf 4, as shown in Figures 8 and 10. Figure 9 As shown, a light-emitting component 5 can also be provided on each side of the light guide plate 4 (two light-emitting components 5 in this scenario). Each light-emitting component 5 can include only one first light source 51 that is on the same plane as the light guide plate 42 (e.g., Figure 6 and Figure 10 It may also include a first light source 51 and a second light source 52 (located above the first light source 51) (e.g. Figure 7 It may also include a first light source 51 and two second light sources 52 (located above and below the first light source 51, respectively) (e.g. Figure 8 and Figure 9 ).
[0055] The number and position of the light sources can be adjusted according to the size of the housing 2 and lighting requirements to ensure that the light is evenly distributed within the accommodating space 3. The first light source 51, located on the same plane as the light guide plate 42, ensures that the light directly illuminates the light guide plate 42. The light panel extends along the width of the light guide shelf 4, allowing for a more even distribution of light on the light guide plate 42. When the first light source 51 emits light, the light quickly enters the light guide plate 42 and is conducted within it, providing illumination to the accommodating space 3. The second light source 52 is positioned either above or below the reflector 41, allowing it to illuminate the light guide plate 42 and the accommodating space 3 from different angles. The second light source 52 provides supplementary lighting, making the light distribution more uniform and avoiding shadow areas.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the light guide shelf 4 further includes a first diffuser plate 43 and a reflector plate 41; along a second direction, the reflector plate 41 is disposed at the bottom of the light guide plate 42, and the first diffuser plate 43 is disposed on the side of the light guide plate 42 away from the reflector plate 41; the second direction is the height direction of the box 2.
[0057] Specifically, the first diffuser 43 scatters the light transmitted from the light guide plate 42, allowing the light to illuminate the accommodating space 3 more evenly. The first diffuser 43 can be made of a frosted material or a material with microparticles to achieve a good diffused light effect. The reflector 41 mainly reflects the light leaking from the bottom of the light guide plate 42 back to the light guide plate 42, improving the light utilization efficiency. The reflector 41 can be made of a material with high reflectivity, such as an aluminum-coated film.
[0058] In a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 As shown, the light guide shelf 4 also includes a second light diffuser plate 44 disposed on both sides of the light guide plate 42 along the second direction.
[0059] Specifically, second diffuser plates 44 are provided on both sides of the light guide plate 42 to further enhance the light scattering effect. The second diffuser plates 44 can also be made of frosted material or material with microparticles. When light is transmitted from the light guide plate 42 to the second diffuser plates 44 on both sides, the second diffuser plates 44 scatter the light in different directions, making the illumination in the accommodating space 3 more uniform and comprehensive.
[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the housing 2 is provided with a reflective coating to enhance the reflection of light within the accommodating space 3.
[0061] Specifically, a reflective coating, such as white reflective paint, is applied to the inner wall of the enclosure 2. When the light source emits light, some of the light directly illuminates the items inside the storage space 3, while the rest illuminates the inner wall of the enclosure 2. The reflective coating reflects the light that hits the inner wall back into the storage space 3, thereby enhancing the intensity and uniformity of the light within the storage space 3 and improving the lighting effect.
[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the emission color of the light source is adjustable.
[0063] Specifically, the color of the light source can be adjusted via control buttons located on the outside of the housing 2 or via a control device connected to the vehicle's electronic system. For example, different colors of light, such as white, warm yellow, and blue, can be selected according to different usage scenarios to meet the user's personalized needs.
[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the light guide shelf 4 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0065] Specifically, the surface of the light-guiding shelf 4 is created with anti-slip textures through processes such as embossing and engraving. These anti-slip textures increase the friction between items and the shelf, preventing items from sliding while the vehicle is in motion. The shape and depth of the anti-slip textures can be designed according to actual needs, ensuring both anti-slip effectiveness and ease of placement and retrieval of items.
[0066] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of this application. It should be noted that due to the limitations of written expression, while there are objectively infinite specific structures, those skilled in the art can make several improvements, modifications, or changes without departing from the principles of this invention, and can also combine the above technical features in an appropriate manner.
