[0037] like Figure 1-12 As shown, this application provides an expandable temperature-controlled storage device, which includes a device body 100, a power supply component 200, and at least one expansion component 300.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the main body of the device 100 includes an integrated storage box 110 and a cooling component 120. The storage box 110 has a storage space inside for storing food, beverages, etc. The cooling component 120 is adapted to cool the storage space to maintain the temperature of the storage space within a preset temperature range. The power supply component 200 is located outside the main body of the device 100 and is electrically connected to the cooling component 120 inside the main body of the device 100, so that the power supply component 200 can supply power to the cooling component 120. The power supply component 200 includes at least one battery compartment 210 and at least one battery pack 220 that matches the battery compartment 210. The battery compartment 210 is located on one side end face of the main body of the device 100, and the battery pack 220 is pluggably disposed in the battery compartment 210.

[0039] The extension member 300 is detachably mounted on the device body 100. The extension member 300 has multiple expansion holes 310 for connecting external carrying objects or accessories. The external carrying objects or accessories are detachably mounted on the device body 100 by engaging with the expansion holes 310. Preferably, the extension member 300 is located at the junction of two adjacent end faces of the device body 100; alternatively, the extension member 300 is located at the junction of three adjacent end faces of the device body 100.

[0040] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the extension member 300 is disposed at the junction of two adjacent side faces of the device body 100. Specifically, the device body 100 includes a first side face and a second side face arranged adjacently. The extension member 300 is detachably disposed at the junction of the first side face and the second side face, and is disposed near the top of the device body 100. The extension member 300 includes a first extension portion 320 and a second extension portion 330 integrally formed and connected. The first extension portion 320 is fitted to and detachably connected to the first side face, and the second extension portion 330 is fitted to and detachably connected to the second side face. The first extension portion 320 and the first side face, and the second extension portion 330 and the second side face are connected by screws; optionally, the first extension portion 320 and the first side face, and the second extension portion 330 and the second side face are connected by snap-fit, quick-release, or other methods.

[0041] Multiple expansion holes 310 are provided on both the first expansion section 320 and the second expansion section 330, and the expansion holes 310 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the main body 100. Preferably, the expansion holes 310 are implemented as 1 / 4 threaded holes. A 1 / 4 threaded hole refers to a threaded hole with an outer diameter of 1 / 4 inch. As a common connection hole, the 1 / 4 threaded hole is widely used in various fields. For example, external accessories such as lighting fixtures, action cameras, and expansion brackets are often equipped with bolts that mate with 1 / 4 threaded holes, so that external accessories can be directly and detachably installed on the first expansion section 320 or the second expansion section 330.

[0042] Furthermore, the top of both the first extension portion 320 and the second extension portion 330 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 340. The extension direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 340 is parallel to the first side end face or the second side end face. One end of the snap-fit ​​groove 340 is a closed end, and the other end of the snap-fit ​​groove 340 is an open end that communicates with the outside. External accessories can slide into the snap-fit ​​groove 340 through the open end and be detachably installed in the snap-fit ​​groove 340. Thus, the external accessories can be detachably installed on the first extension portion 320 or the second extension portion 330.

[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the temperature-controlled storage device includes a protective shell 400, which covers the outside of the device body 100. The protective shell 400 includes a shell body 410 and a shell cover 420. The shell cover 420 is detachably connected to the shell body 410 via zippers, buttons, or other connection methods. The shell body 410 and shell cover 420 cover the outside of the device body 100 to protect it from impacts. The shell body 410 and shell cover 420 can be made of rigid plastic or soft fabric. Both rigid plastic and soft fabric have thermal insulation effects, thus the protective shell 400 not only protects the device body 100 from impacts but also reduces the impact of external ambient temperature on the temperature inside the storage space.

[0044] The main body 410 has two opposite side faces with storage pockets 430. The storage pocket 430 on one side face corresponds to the battery compartment 210 and the battery pack 220, so that the battery compartment 210 and the battery pack 220 are housed in the storage pocket 430. That is, the storage pocket 430 can cover the power component 200 that protrudes from the main body 100.

[0045] The shell body 410 has an clearance slot 440, the position of which corresponds to the position of the extension 300, so that the extension 300 is exposed in the clearance slot 440 and the extension 300 protrudes from the end face of the shell body 410, so that the shell body 410 will not interfere with the extension 300, external accessories and external carrying objects.

[0046] Preferably, the main body 100 is provided with four extension members 300, which are respectively provided at the junction of two adjacent side faces on the main body 100. Thus, each side face of the main body 100 will have a first extension part 320 and a second extension part 330.

[0047] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the external accessories are implemented as three tabletop assemblies 500. The three tabletop assemblies 500 are respectively disposed on the front end face, left end face, and right end face of the equipment body 100. Each tabletop assembly 500 includes two support arms 510 and a tabletop 520. The support arms 510 are provided with fixing holes corresponding to the expansion holes 310. The support arms 510 can be detachably installed on the first expansion part 320 or the second expansion part 330 by bolting the fixing holes with the expansion holes 310. The tabletop 520 is rotatably connected to the two support arms 510. The tabletop 520 can be rotated and folded or rotated and unfolded relative to the two support arms 510. When the tabletop 520 is unfolded, the tabletop 520 is perpendicular to the side end face of the equipment body 100. When the tabletop 520 is folded, the tabletop 520 is parallel to the side end face of the equipment body 100. When the tabletop 520 is unfolded, the surfaces of the three tabletops 520 on the front end face, left end face, and right end face are flush.

[0048] In addition, when the desktop panel 520 is unfolded, a corner panel 530 is connected between two adjacent desktop panels 520. The desktop panel 520 is provided with perforations, and the corner panel 530 is provided with limiting members, so that the corner panel 530 can be set between two adjacent desktop panels 520 through the cooperation of the limiting members and the perforations.

[0049] The desktop panel 520 and corner panel 530 are also provided with multiple functional slots 540. The functional slots 540 can be implemented as snorkel bowl hanging slots, alpine stove fixing holes, light pole expansion holes, etc., to facilitate the placement or hanging of camping equipment on the desktop panel 520 and corner panel 530.

[0050] like Figure 7-9As shown, the external accessory is implemented as a storage bag 600, which includes a bag body 610. The bag body 610 has an adjustable rope 620 at the opening. The adjustable rope 620 is suitable for adjusting the size of the opening of the bag body 610 to prevent items inside the bag body 610 from falling out of the opening. The back of the bag body 610 is provided with a plain weave strap 630. The plain weave strap 630 is provided with a 1 / 4 diameter eyelet buckle 640. The bag body 610 can be conveniently installed on the expansion member 300 by engaging with the expansion hole 310 through the 1 / 4 diameter eyelet buckle 640. The plain weave strap 630 is also provided with two straps 650. The straps 650 are provided with Velcro. The bag body 610 can be tied to the device body 100 by the straps 650, or when the external carrying item is implemented as a shoulder strap, the bag body 610 can also be tied to the shoulder strap by the straps 650.

[0051] like Figure 10 As shown, in some other embodiments, two extension members 300 are provided at the junction of adjacent two end faces. The two extension members 300 are respectively located near the top and bottom of the device body 100. A slide rod 700 is connected between the two extension members 300. The extension direction of the slide rod 700 is consistent with the height extension direction of the device body 100, and the length of the slide rod 700 is not less than 40% of the height of the device body 100. External accessories or external carrying items can be detachably connected to the two extension members 300 or the slide rod 700 and detachably installed on the device body 100.

[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, in some other embodiments, the extension member 300 includes a first plate 350. One side of the first plate 350 is detachably connected to a first side end face as a fixed end, and the other side of the first plate 350 extends outward and protrudes from a second side end face as an extension end. The extension end is provided with a plurality of extension holes 310 and a plurality of mounting grooves 370. The extension holes 310 are preferably 1 / 4 threaded holes, and the mounting grooves 370 can be implemented as a sizzling bowl hanging groove, a kaolin stove fixing hole, a lamp post extension hole, etc.

[0053] like Figure 12As shown, optionally, the extension member 300 includes a first plate 350 and a second plate 360. One side of the first plate 350 is detachably connected to the first side end face as a fixed end, and the other end of the first plate 350 extends outward and protrudes from the second side end face as an extension end. The second plate 360 ​​is integrally formed and connected to the extension end of the first plate 350. Both the extension end of the first plate 350 and the second plate 360 ​​are provided with a plurality of extension holes 310 and a plurality of mounting slots 370. The extension holes 310 are preferably 1 / 4 threaded holes, and the mounting slots 370 can be implemented as a sizzling bowl hanging slot, a kaolin stove fixing hole, a lamp post extension hole, etc. The first plate 350 is spaced apart from the first side end face, and the second plate 360 ​​is spaced apart from the second side end face. Thus, when external accessories or external carrying objects are detachably installed on the first plate 350 or the second plate 360 ​​in conjunction with the expansion hole 310 or the mounting groove 370, the external accessories or external carrying objects will not interfere with the main body 100 of the equipment.
