Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an in-vehicle refrigerator system and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, more and more passenger cars are adopting in-vehicle refrigerators. Among them, compressor-type in-vehicle refrigerators use an internal compressor for cooling, and have advantages such as segmented temperature control, durability, and stable and effective cooling, thus having a broader application prospect.

[0003] In related technologies, compressor-type car refrigerators are large and heavy because they contain a compressor. Therefore, compressor-type car refrigerators are often fixed in passenger cars, which is not conducive to users moving them. They cannot meet the needs of outdoor car owners who need to transfer refrigerated items from inside the vehicle to outside for use in scenarios such as camping and fishing. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vehicle-mounted refrigerator system and vehicle to solve the problem that existing vehicle-mounted refrigerators are difficult to transport and thus have limited use.

[0005] This application provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator system, which includes a mounting body, a compressor module, and a refrigerator module. The mounting body has an assembly cavity and an assembly opening. The compressor module is installed in the assembly cavity through the assembly opening. The refrigerator module and the compressor module are separately arranged, and the refrigerator module is detachably installed in the assembly cavity through the assembly opening. A heat exchange channel is formed between the compressor module and the refrigerator module, and the refrigerator module is connected to the compressor module through the heat exchange channel.

[0006] In one embodiment, the heat exchange channel includes a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The first air outlet is located on the compressor module, and the second air outlet is located on the refrigerator module. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are correspondingly arranged and interconnected.

[0007] In one embodiment, the refrigerator module includes a cabinet and a cover. The cabinet has a receiving cavity, and the cover is located at the opening of the receiving cavity and is movably connected to the cabinet to open or close the receiving cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, one of the outer side wall of the housing and the inner side wall of the assembly cavity is provided with a slide rail, and the other is provided with a slider. The slider and the slide rail are slidably engaged so that the housing can move relative to the mounting body in a preset direction.

[0009] In one embodiment, the refrigerator module further includes rollers connected to the bottom of the cabinet.

[0010] In one embodiment, the refrigerator module further includes an outer shell connected to one side of the cabinet; when the refrigerator module is installed in the assembly cavity, the outer shell engages with the mounting body to close the assembly opening.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting body is configured as an armrest box.

[0012] In one embodiment, the assembly opening is oriented perpendicular to the vertical direction.

[0027] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, more and more passenger cars are adopting in-vehicle refrigerators. Among them, compressor-type in-vehicle refrigerators use an internal compressor for cooling, and have advantages such as segmented temperature control, durability, and stable and effective cooling, thus having a broader application prospect.

[0028] In related technologies, compressor-type car refrigerators are large and heavy because they contain a compressor. Therefore, compressor-type car refrigerators are often fixed in passenger cars, which is not conducive to users moving them. They cannot meet the needs of outdoor car owners who need to transfer refrigerated items from inside the vehicle to outside for use in scenarios such as camping and fishing.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 To address the problem of limited use caused by the inconvenience of transporting existing vehicle-mounted refrigerators, this application provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator system 100. The system includes a mounting body 10, a compressor module 20, and a refrigerator module 30. The mounting body 10 has an assembly cavity 101 and an assembly opening 102. The compressor module 20 is installed in the assembly cavity 101 through the assembly opening 102. The refrigerator module 30 and the compressor module 20 are separate components, and the refrigerator module 30 is detachably installed in the assembly cavity 101 through the assembly opening 102. A heat exchange channel is formed between the compressor module 20 and the refrigerator module 30, and the refrigerator module 30 communicates with the compressor module 20 through this channel.

[0030] It is understood that the refrigerator module 30 in this application is used for storing items, while the compressor module 20 is used for refrigeration. Furthermore, by separating the refrigerator module 30 and the compressor module 20, the weight and size of the refrigerator module 30 can be reduced. Simultaneously, since the refrigerator module 30 is detachably connected to the assembly cavity 101, it can be easily removed from the assembly opening 102, reducing the difficulty of handling and thus meeting the needs of outdoor use. In addition, when the refrigerator module 30 is installed in the assembly cavity 101, it can exchange heat with the compressor module 20 through a heat exchange channel, thereby achieving both cooling and heating functions and improving the user experience.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the heat exchange channel includes a first air vent (not shown) and a second air vent 301. The first air vent is located on the compressor module 20, and the second air vent 301 is located on the refrigerator module 30. The first air vent and the second air vent 301 are correspondingly arranged and interconnected. That is, in this embodiment, the cooling and heating functions of the refrigerator module 30 are achieved through heat exchange between airflows. The operation is simple and easy to process and control.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator module 30 includes a cabinet 31 and a lid 32. The cabinet 31 has a receiving cavity (not shown). The lid 32 is located at the opening of the receiving cavity and is movably connected to the cabinet 31 to open or close the receiving cavity. This receiving cavity serves to store items, such as beverages. Furthermore, through the movable connection between the lid 32 and the cabinet 31, the lid 32 can be opened to retrieve items from the receiving cavity when needed, and the lid 32 can be closed when not in use to ensure a sealed and insulated environment within the receiving cavity, preventing energy waste and improving reliability.

[0033] To facilitate the movement of the housing 31, in one embodiment, one of the outer side wall of the housing 31 and the inner side wall of the assembly cavity 101 is provided with a slide rail 311, and the other is provided with a slider. The slider and the slide rail 311 are slidably engaged, allowing the housing 31 to move relative to the mounting body 10 along a preset direction. This ensures the straightness of the housing 31's movement when it is removed from the assembly cavity 101, reducing the probability of collisions between the housing 31 and other structures and improving safety. When reinstalling the refrigerator module 30 into the assembly cavity 101, it is only necessary to align the slider with the slide rail 311 and insert it. This ensures that the first air vent and the second air vent 301 maintain a precise fit even after long-term use.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slide rail 311 is disposed on the outer side wall of the housing 31, and the slider (not shown) is disposed on the inner side wall of the assembly cavity 101. It should also be noted that the preset direction here refers to the extension direction of the slide rail 311, that is, the orientation of the assembly opening 102.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the assembly opening 102 is oriented perpendicular to the vertical direction. That is, the housing 31 can move horizontally during removal without having to overcome gravity, thus saving effort.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the refrigerator module 30 also includes rollers 33, which are connected to the bottom of the cabinet 31. Thus, the cabinet 31 can be moved by the rotation of the rollers 33 during the process of detaching from the assembly cavity 101 and during outdoor movement, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation. Furthermore, when the refrigerator module 30 is installed in the assembly cavity 101, the rollers 33 provide support, reducing the force between the slide rail 311 and the slider, and extending the service life of the overall structure.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of rollers 33 is set to four, making the box 31 more stable when moving. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the number of rollers 33 can also be reasonably set according to actual needs, as long as the same function can be achieved.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerator module 30 also includes a housing 34, which is connected to one side of the housing 31. When the refrigerator module 30 is installed in the assembly cavity 101, the housing 34 engages with the mounting body 10 to close the assembly opening 102. Thus, the engagement between the housing 34 and the mounting body 10 locks the refrigerator module 30 after installation, preventing it from automatically detaching due to vibrations during vehicle operation, eliminating safety hazards, and improving the reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator system 100. Simultaneously, the housing 34 ensures a relatively sealed assembly cavity 101, which not only facilitates heat exchange in the refrigerator module 30 but also enhances the overall aesthetics.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle, which includes front seats 200 and a vehicle refrigerator system 100 of any of the above embodiments. The number of front seats 200 is two, and the two front seats 200 are arranged side by side. The vehicle refrigerator system 100 is installed between the two front seats 200.

[0040] The mounting body 10 is configured as an armrest box. The armrest box allows the driver to rest their arm during long drives, preventing soreness, numbness, and stiffness. In other words, the vehicle refrigerator system 100 in this embodiment adopts a front-mounted installation method, integrating the compressor module 20 and refrigerator module 30 into the front armrest box, avoiding the occupation of space in the rear seats and trunk. Furthermore, the front-mounted vehicle refrigerator system 100 can be directly powered by the vehicle battery, which is simpler than a rear-mounted system that uses a power bank or requires an additional power interface.

[0041] Here, the compressor module 20 can be fixed to the mounting body 10 by fasteners or the like to improve safety.

[0042] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle also includes a control module, which is signal-connected to the compressor module 20. While vehicle control modules are typically located at the front of the vehicle body, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator system 100 in this embodiment is front-mounted, facilitating direct control of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator system 100 by the control module.

[0043] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
