Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0058] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0059] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the refrigerator 100 of this embodiment includes: a cabinet assembly 1 and a storage basket 3. The storage basket 3 is detachably connected to the cabinet assembly 1, and when connected to the cabinet assembly 1, the storage basket 3 divides the cabinet assembly 1 into two storage spaces. This allows the refrigerator 100 to store items more flexibly, improving its storage performance.

[0060] First, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the refrigerator 100 includes a cabinet assembly 1 and a storage basket 3. The storage basket 3 is detachably connected to the cabinet assembly 1. When the storage basket 3 is not installed on the cabinet assembly 1, the space inside the cabinet assembly 1 forms a single storage space. When the storage basket 3 is connected to the cabinet assembly 1, the storage basket 3 can divide the space inside the cabinet assembly 1 into two storage spaces, one storage space located inside the storage basket 3 and the other storage space located outside the storage basket 3.

[0061] Understandably, when the storage basket 3 is connected to the cabinet assembly 1, the storage basket 3 can be divided into two relatively independent storage spaces, both of which can be used for storage, and the items in the two storage spaces will not collide or be squeezed; when the storage basket 3 is removed from the cabinet assembly 1, the space inside the cabinet assembly 1 can store larger items, thus allowing the refrigerator 100 to flexibly store items according to needs.

[0062] According to the refrigerator 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting the storage basket 3, the cabinet assembly 1 can be selectively divided into two storage spaces, so that the cabinet assembly 1 can better accommodate items of different sizes and quantities, which is conducive to improving space utilization and ensuring the storage stability of items, thus improving the practicality of the refrigerator 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, the storage basket 3 can selectively divide the box assembly 1 into Figure 4 Two storage spaces in the upper and lower directions, or divided into Figure 4 It has two storage spaces, one in the front and one in the back. This allows it to meet different working conditions.

[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the cabinet assembly 1 has a first storage cavity, which can be cooled. When the storage basket 3 is connected to the cabinet assembly 1, it divides the first storage cavity into two storage spaces. This ensures that items can always be stored in the first storage cavity, thus maintaining the storage effect of the refrigerator 100.

[0065] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the housing assembly 1 is provided with a first access port 121, which communicates with the first storage cavity. Users can store or retrieve items into or from the first storage cavity through the first access port 121. A storage basket 3 is matched with the first access port 121 and is detachably installed inside the first access port 121. The storage basket 3 is adapted to divide the first storage cavity into two storage spaces when located in the first access port 121. One storage space is located inside the storage basket 3, and the other storage space is located between the storage basket 3 and the inner wall of the first storage cavity.

[0066] Understandably, when the storage basket 3 is installed within the first access port 121, it divides the first storage cavity into two relatively independent storage spaces. Both spaces can be used for storage, and the items within them will not collide or be squeezed. When the storage basket 3 is removed from the first access port 121, the first storage cavity can hold larger items, allowing the refrigerator 100 to flexibly store items as needed. Furthermore, because the storage basket 3 is located within the first access port 121, it is easy to remove, improving the convenience of using the refrigerator 100.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the storage basket 3 is provided with a first limiting part, and the cabinet assembly 1 is provided with a second limiting part. The first limiting part is used to cooperate with the second limiting part to connect the storage basket 3 and the cabinet assembly 1. This improves the installation stability of the storage basket 3 and enhances the storage performance of the refrigerator 100.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first limiting part can be constructed as a limiting flange 31, and the second limiting part can be disposed on the side wall of the cabinet assembly 1 having the first access port 121. The limiting flange 31 can be supported on the side wall of the cabinet assembly 1 having the first access port 121 and engage with the second limiting part for limiting. For example, the second limiting part is disposed on the top wall of the cabinet assembly 1 surrounding the first access port 121, and the limiting flange 31 is supported downward on the top wall of the cabinet assembly 1 and engages with the second limiting part for limiting. In this embodiment, the top wall is the side wall of the cabinet assembly 1 having the first access port 121. Thus, the storage basket 3 can be directly installed on the cabinet assembly 1, which helps to simplify the structure of the refrigerator 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting part can be disposed on the inner wall of the first access opening 121, and the storage basket 3 can extend into the first access opening 121 and be limited and engaged with the second limiting part. Thus, the storage basket 3 can be stored inside the first access opening 121 to achieve an integrated design and improve the aesthetics of the refrigerator 100.

[0070] It should be noted that the first opening 121 can be defined solely by the upper cover 12 described below, or it can be defined jointly by the upper cover 12 described below, the cover portion 112 described below, and the main body portion 111 described below.

[0071] Of course, this utility model is not limited to this. The second limiting part can also be provided on the inner wall of the first storage cavity, and the storage basket 3 can extend into the first storage cavity and cooperate with the second limiting part. This is beneficial to meet different design requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerator 100 of the present invention further includes: a sealing member 2, which is disposed on the cabinet assembly 1 and protrudes from the inner peripheral wall of the first take-out port 121, and the storage basket 3 is limited and matched with the sealing member 2 to be detachably installed in the first take-out port 121.

[0073] For example, refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the seal 2 is disposed on the housing assembly 1. The seal 2 can be used to seal gaps in the housing assembly 1 itself, or to seal gaps between the housing assembly 1 and related components. At least a portion of the seal 2 extends into the first access port 121 and protrudes inwardly from the inner peripheral wall of the first access port 121. The portion of the seal 2 protruding from the inner peripheral wall of the first access port 121 forms a second limiting portion. The storage basket 3 is matched with the first access port 121 so that the storage basket 3 can be inserted into the first access port 121. The storage basket 3 can be detachably installed in the first access port 121 by engaging with the sealing element 2 for limiting.

[0074] With the above settings, the sealing element 2 can have both sealing and fixing functions, eliminating the need for a separate fixing structure for the storage basket 3. This simplifies the structure of the refrigerator 100 and reduces the processing cost of the refrigerator 100.

[0075] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least a portion of the inner peripheral wall of the seal 2 that mates with the storage basket 3 protrudes inward. This arrangement increases the mating area between the seal 2 and the storage basket 3, which improves the limiting effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the storage basket 3.

[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner peripheral wall of the seal 2 can be formed as an arc surface. Preferably, the inner peripheral wall of the seal 2 is formed as a circular arc surface. This configuration makes the structure of the seal 2 more stable, allowing it to better limit the position of the storage basket 3, and also makes the contact between the seal 2 and the storage basket 3 smoother, improving the user's feel when removing the storage basket 3 and increasing user satisfaction.

[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 3-4 As shown, the sealing element 2 includes a fixing part 21 and a protruding part 22. The fixing part 21 is inserted into the housing assembly 1, and the protruding part 22 protrudes from the inner wall of the first access port 121. The protruding part 22 can be limited to the storage basket 3 so that the storage basket 3 can be detachably installed in the first access port 121.

[0078] It should be noted that the protrusion 22 protruding from the inner wall of the first take-up and put-out port 121 means that the inner peripheral wall of the protrusion 22 can be entirely located inside the first take-up and put-out port 121 or partially located inside the first take-up and put-out port 121.

[0079] The above settings can improve the installation stability of the seal 2 and the fit stability between the protrusion 22 and the storage basket 3, thereby improving the installation stability of the storage basket 3 and ensuring the storage performance of the refrigerator 100.

[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 2-4 As shown, the protrusion 22 can be constructed as a closed loop, and the fixing part 21 is connected radially outward of the protrusion 22 and inserted into the housing assembly 1. This allows the protrusion 22 to fully engage with the storage basket 3 circumferentially, increasing the contact area between the protrusion 22 and the storage basket 3 and improving the installation stability of the storage basket 3.

[0081] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, multiple fixing parts 21 can be provided, and the multiple fixing parts 21 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the protrusion 22. Preferably, multiple fixing parts 21 can be evenly spaced along the circumference of the protrusion 22. With the above arrangement, the seal 2 can be fixed from multiple positions, reducing the probability of partial detachment of the seal 2, which is conducive to improving the installation stability of the seal 2 and ensuring the limiting effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3.

[0082] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the axial direction of the first pick-and-place port 121 (reference) Figure 4 In the vertical direction shown, the thickness of the fixing part 21 is greater than the thickness of the protruding part 22, so that at least one side of the fixing part 21 can protrude beyond the edge of the corresponding side of the protruding part 22. For example, the upper side of the fixing part 21 can be provided to protrude beyond the edge of the corresponding side of the protruding part 22; or, the lower side of the fixing part 21 can be provided to protrude beyond the edge of the corresponding side of the protruding part 22; or, the upper and lower sides of the fixing part 21 can be provided to protrude beyond the two side edges of the protruding part 22 respectively.

[0083] By adopting the above settings, the mating dimensions between the protrusion 22 and the housing assembly 1 can be increased, making it difficult for the fixing part 21 to fall out and improving the installation stability of the seal 2.

[0084] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the housing assembly 1 has a plurality of protrusions 122 around the first loading and unloading port 121, and a fixing groove 123 is defined between adjacent protrusions 122, and the fixing part 21 is located in the fixing groove 123.

[0085] Specifically, the box assembly 1 includes a box body 11 and a top cover 12. The box body 11 is provided with a first storage cavity; the top cover 12 is provided on the box body 11 and has a first take-out opening 121. The sealing member 2 is used to seal the gap between the box body 11 and the top cover 12. In this configuration, multiple protrusions 122 can be provided on the housing 11 around the first access port 121, with a fixing groove 123 defined between adjacent protrusions 122, and the fixing part 21 located within the fixing groove 123 and connected to the housing 11; alternatively, multiple protrusions 122 can be provided on the top cover 12 around the first access port 121, with a fixing groove 123 defined between adjacent protrusions 122, and the fixing part 21 located within the fixing groove 123 and connected to the top cover 12; or alternatively, multiple protrusions 122 can be provided on the housing 11 around the first access port 121, and multiple protrusions 122 can be provided on the top cover 12 around the first access port 121, with a fixing groove 123 defined between adjacent protrusions 122, the fixing groove 123 on the housing 11 and the fixing groove 123 on the top cover 12 being arranged opposite to each other, and the fixing part 21 being located within the fixing groove 123, so that the housing 11 can be connected to the housing 11 and the top cover 12 respectively. This improves the installation stability of the seal 2 and helps ensure the limiting effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3.

[0086] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, in the circumferential direction of the first loading / unloading port 121, the width of the fixing part 21 is greater than the width of the fixing groove 123, so that both sides of the fixing part 21 can respectively have an interference fit with the two corresponding bosses 122 facing each other. This ensures the stability of the fit between the fixing part 21 and the fixing groove 123, and improves the installation stability of the seal 2.

[0087] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the boss 122 can be set along the axial direction of the first pick-up / placement port 121 (refer to...). Figure 4 (As shown in the vertical direction). Therefore, when the storage basket 3 is inserted into the first access port 121, the boss 122 can better support the fixing part 21, which helps to reduce the deformation of the fixing part 21 and improves the installation stability of the seal 2.

[0088] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, both the boss 122 and the fixing part 21 can be formed as cuboids or cubes. This configuration makes the boss 122 and the fixing part 21 easier to process and standardize, simplifies the production process, reduces production costs, and makes it easier to align the boss 122 and the fixing part 21, thus simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 8-9As shown, the fixing part 21 includes a column 211 and an elastic protrusion 212. The elastic protrusion 212 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the column 211. The column 211 is adapted to extend into the gap of the cabinet assembly 1 and is limited and engaged with the cabinet assembly 1 by the elastic protrusion 212. With the above arrangement, the sealing element 2 can be easily arranged, the structure of the cabinet assembly 1 can be simplified, and the processing cost of the refrigerator 100 can be reduced.

[0090] It should be noted that the gap in the housing assembly 1 can be the fitting gap between the housing 11 and the top cover 12, or the fitting gap between the main body 111 and the cover 112, or the limiting hole on the inner peripheral wall of the first loading and unloading port 121.

[0091] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 8-9 As shown, the elastic protrusion 212 can be constructed as a ring, with the protrusion 212 extending circumferentially along the column 211. This improves the limiting effect of the elastic protrusion 212 and enhances the installation stability of the seal 2.

[0092] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the seal 2 can be constructed as an elastic element, and the seal 2 can deform to have an interference fit with the storage basket 3. It should be noted that the seal 2 can be made of elastic materials such as silicone rubber and PVC.

[0093] The above settings can improve the limiting effect of the sealing element 2 on the storage basket 3. When the refrigerator 100 is subjected to external impact, the storage basket 3 is less likely to shake or bump, which helps to eliminate abnormal noises from the refrigerator 100 and improves user comfort.

[0094] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the axial direction of the first pick-and-place port 121 (reference) Figure 4 As shown in the up-down direction, the storage basket 3 and the sealing element 2 are positioned to limit each other on the side opposite to the first storage cavity. This design prevents the storage basket 3 from falling into the first storage cavity due to excessive pressure from the user, and also makes the storage basket 3 easy to assemble and disassemble, improving user convenience.

[0095] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the dimension H of the seal 2 protruding from the inner wall of the first opening 121 can be set to satisfy: 1mm ≤ H ≤ 5mm. That is, the dimension H of the seal 2 protruding from the inner wall of the first opening 121 can be set to be greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 5mm, such as 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. This ensures the sealing effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3, improving the installation stability of the storage basket 3.

[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the box assembly 1 includes: a box body 11 and a top cover 12. The box body 11 is provided with a first storage cavity; the top cover 12 is located above the box body 11 and is provided with a first retrieval opening 121. A sealing member 2 is sandwiched between the sealing box body 11 and the top cover 12 and is used to seal the gap between the box body 11 and the top cover 12. A portion of the sealing member 2 protrudes inward from the inner peripheral wall of the first retrieval opening 121.

[0097] The above settings can improve the sealing performance of the cabinet assembly 1, which helps to reduce or eliminate condensation on the surface of the refrigerator 100 caused by cold air leakage, and can also improve the installation stability of the seal 2, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3.

[0098] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the box 11 includes a main body 111 and a cover 112. The main body 111 has a first storage cavity. The cover 112 is located on the side of the main body 111 facing the upper cover 12. The cover 112 can be used to install a handrail, and the cover 112 can be sealed with the upper cover 12 through the sealing member 2.

[0099] The above settings can reduce the processing difficulty of the cabinet 11, which is conducive to reducing the processing cost of the refrigerator 100, thereby improving the product competitiveness of the armrest box 200.

[0100] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, the box assembly 1 includes: an upper cover 12 and a box body 11. The upper cover 12 is provided with a first loading and unloading port 121. The box body 11 includes a main body 111 and a cover 112. The main body 111 is provided with a first storage cavity. The cover 112 is located on the side of the main body 111 facing the upper cover 12 and is connected to the upper cover 12. The sealing member 2 is used to seal the gap between the main body 111 and the cover 112.

[0101] The above settings can improve the sealing performance of the cabinet assembly 1, which helps to reduce or eliminate condensation on the surface of the refrigerator 100 caused by cold air leakage, and can also improve the installation stability of the seal 2, thereby ensuring the limiting effect of the seal 2 on the storage basket 3.

[0102] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the storage basket 3 can be fitted with the seal 2 to limit its position, so that most of the storage basket 3 can be located below the seal 2; or, as shown... Figure 9As shown, the bottom of the storage basket 3 can be fitted with the seal 2 to limit its position, so that the storage basket 3 can be positioned above the seal 2; or, the middle part of the storage basket 3 can be fitted with the seal 2 to limit its position, so that a portion of the storage basket 3 can be positioned below the seal 2. This allows for the fulfillment of different usage requirements.

[0103] In some embodiments of this utility model, a limiting hole can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the first loading / unloading port 121, and the column 211 extends into the limiting hole. The column 211 can be limited and engaged with the limiting hole by the elastic protrusion 212 to install the sealing member 2 in the first loading / unloading port 121. This makes the installation of the sealing member 2 more flexible and helps to meet design requirements.

[0104] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the size of the storage basket 3 can be set to be equal to the size of the first access port 121. When the storage basket 3 is located in the first access port 121, the storage basket 3 can be limited and matched with the peripheral wall of the first access port 121 in the circumferential direction to divide the first storage cavity into two non-connected storage spaces.

[0105] The above settings can improve the installation stability of the storage basket 3, prevent the refrigerator 100 from making abnormal noises due to the vibration of the storage basket 3, and completely separate the items located in the two storage spaces, which helps to prevent collisions and improves the reliability of the refrigerator 100.

[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, the width of the storage basket 3 can be set to be smaller than the width of the first access opening 121. When the storage basket 3 is located at the first access opening 121, the two sides of the storage basket 3 along the length direction (and one side along the width direction) can be limited and fixed to the box assembly 1 by the sealing member 2 (or the box assembly 1). The storage basket 3 can divide the first storage cavity into two storage spaces, both of which can communicate with the first access opening 121. Of course, the length of the storage basket 3 can also be set to be smaller than the length of the first access opening 121, which will not be elaborated here. This makes it easier for users to store and retrieve items, improving the user's convenience.

[0107] In some embodiments of this utility model, the upper side of the storage basket 3 can be matched with the sealing member 2 (or the box assembly 1) for limiting, and the bottom of the storage basket 3 can be supported on the bottom wall of the first storage cavity. This improves the installation stability of the storage basket 3.

[0108] Of course, this utility model is not limited to this. The upper side of the storage basket 3 can be matched with the sealing member 2 (or the cabinet assembly 1) for limiting, and the bottom of the storage basket 3 can be spaced apart from the bottom wall of the first storage cavity. In this way, interference between the storage basket 3 and the bottom wall of the first storage cavity can be avoided, thus improving the design rationality of the refrigerator 100.

[0109] This utility model also proposes an armrest box 200.

The first access port 121 can be configured as a top opening. Specifically, when a user needs to retrieve or place items, the first access port 121 can be opened upwards to allow the user to store or retrieve items from the first storage cavity from above. After the user has finished operating, the first access port 121 can be closed.

[0113] The above settings can improve the installation stability of the storage basket 3, make the storage basket 3 easy to install and remove, and facilitate front and rear passengers to access items in the refrigerator 100 through the first access port 121, thereby improving the user experience.

[0114] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabinet assembly 1 also has a second access port communicating with the first storage cavity. The second access port is configured as a rear opening. The refrigerator 100 also includes a pull-out assembly, which includes a drawer and a drawer door. The drawer is movably installed in the first storage cavity 111, and the drawer door is used to open or close the second access port.

[0115] Specifically, when rear-seat users need to retrieve or place items, they can drive the drawer door backward to pull the drawer out of the first storage compartment 111, allowing them to store or retrieve items. After the user completes the operation, they can drive the drawer door forward to push the drawer back into the first storage compartment 111, and the drawer door can close the second access port. This makes it more convenient for rear-seat users to use the refrigerator 100, improving user satisfaction.

[0116] In some embodiments of this utility model, the cabinet assembly 1 is further provided with a second storage cavity, the first storage cavity 111 is spaced apart from the second storage cavity, the cabinet assembly 1 has a third access port communicating with the second storage cavity, the third access port is constructed as a rear opening, the refrigerator 100 also includes a pull-out assembly, the pull-out assembly includes a drawer and a drawer door, the drawer is movably installed in the second storage cavity, and the drawer door is used to open or close the third access port.

[0117] Specifically, when a rear-seat user needs to retrieve or place items, the drawer door can be driven to move backward to pull the drawer out of the second storage compartment, allowing the user to store or retrieve items from the drawer. After the user has finished the operation, the user can drive the drawer door forward to push the drawer back into the second storage compartment, and the drawer door can close the third retrieval port.

[0118] With the above settings, the refrigerator 100 can have more partitions, so that the refrigerator 100 can store items more flexibly. For example, the first storage cavity 111 can be set as a cooling cavity and the second storage cavity as a heating cavity, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0119] This utility model also proposes a vehicle.

[0120] The vehicle according to the present invention includes: a center console 200 according to any of the above embodiments; or a refrigerator 100 according to any of the above embodiments.
