Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to vehicle parts technical field, especially a kind of vehicle refrigerator;Meanwhile, the utility model also relates to a kind of vehicle with the vehicle refrigerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] The compressor and other key components of the existing vehicle refrigerator are usually placed on the mounting rack on the front side or rear side of the box. In the layout of the whole vehicle, this setting method has significant disadvantages. On the one hand, from the perspective of space occupation, due to the shape and volume of the compressor and other components, a large space will be occupied in the front-rear direction of the whole vehicle.

[0003] On the other hand, the protruding condition of the compressor and other refrigeration components from the box brings great safety hazards during vehicle driving. When the vehicle encounters sudden braking or drives on a bumpy road, the protruding components will produce obvious lever effect due to inertia. This lever effect will make the mounting rack bear a huge external force far beyond the normal condition, which will easily lead to excessive stress on the mounting rack and further cause deformation or even breakage, which not only affects the normal use of the vehicle refrigerator, but also affects the safety performance of the vehicle. SUMMARY

[0016] Furthermore, a heating element is provided inside the cavity, located on the bottom wall of the inner liner, for heating the inner liner; and / or, a magnetic attraction part is provided between the cover and the frame, the cover and the frame are connected by the magnetic attraction part, and a sealing element is provided between the cover and the frame to form a seal between them.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] The vehicle-mounted refrigerator of this utility model has at least the compression section located below the cabinet and within the installation space formed by the mounting bracket. This reduces the space occupied in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, reduces the leverage effect of the compressor due to inertia, and reduces the external force on the mounting bracket. This also reduces the risk of deformation or breakage of the mounting bracket due to excessive force, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator and extending its service life.

[0019] Secondly, the horizontal section features a mounting section, which improves the load-bearing capacity of the components. Connected to the cabinet via the vertical section and extension arm, it facilitates multiple connection points and ensures a more secure connection between the vehicle refrigerator and the vehicle. The top of the vertical section has an upturned edge and connects vertically to the cabinet, facilitating the connection between the vertical section and the cabinet. Both the condenser and compressor sections are located within the mounting space, and a cooling fan is provided in the horizontal section to cool these two key components, improving their heat dissipation efficiency. The extension plate and extension arm are connected by a connecting structure, facilitating the connection between the cabinet and the extension arm and ensuring good connection stability.

[0020] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib extending from the extension arm to the lateral portion enhances the structural strength between the extension arm and the lateral portion. The heat dissipation holes further improve the heat dissipation effect of the installation space, and the second reinforcing rib enhances the structural rigidity of the lateral portion in the heat dissipation hole area. The front end of the cabinet is inserted and connected to the rear end of the sub-instrument frame, providing a precise installation position for the vehicle refrigerator within the vehicle.

Several conductive plates are provided on the outer wall of the inner liner, increasing the contact area between the refrigeration unit and the inner liner. This allows for more efficient transfer of cold energy generated by the refrigeration pipes to the inner liner. The refrigeration pipes are arranged in a continuous serpentine pattern, ensuring a more even distribution of the pipes on the outer side of the conductive plates. This allows for uniform cold energy distribution around the storage cavity, preventing localized overheating or underheating and ensuring a balanced temperature within the storage cavity, thus improving the preservation effect of the items.

[0055] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] This embodiment relates to a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, which improves the structural stability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator by optimizing its own structure.

[0058] In terms of overall structure, the vehicle refrigerator of this embodiment includes a cabinet 1 with a storage cavity 100, a mounting bracket 2 connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a refrigeration assembly. An installation space 200 is formed between the mounting bracket 2 and the cabinet 1, located below the cabinet 1, and a mounting part is provided on the mounting bracket 2. The refrigeration assembly includes a compression unit, a condenser unit, and a cooling unit connected in sequence, and the cooling unit is used to cool the storage cavity 100. Of the compression unit and the condenser unit, at least the compression unit is disposed within the installation space 200 via the mounting part.

[0059] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator has at least the compression section located below the cabinet 1 and within the mounting space 200 formed by the mounting bracket 2. This reduces the space occupied in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, reduces the leverage effect of the compressor 3 due to inertia, and reduces the external force on the mounting bracket 2. This reduces the risk of deformation or breakage of the mounting bracket 2 due to excessive force, improves the overall stability and reliability of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator, and extends the service life of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator.

[0060] Based on the above overview, the vehicle refrigerator described in this embodiment is preferably installed inside the sub-dashboard, and an example of its arrangement within the sub-dashboard is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, an exemplary structure of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the image.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket 2 has a horizontal portion 201 and a vertical portion 202 connected together, and extension arms 2011 disposed on both sides of the horizontal portion 201; the mounting portion is disposed on the horizontal portion 201, and the vertical portion 202 and the extension arms 2011 are connected to the housing 1. The mounting portion on the horizontal portion 201 improves the load-bearing capacity of the components, and the connection between the vertical portion 202 and the extension arms 2011 and the housing 1 facilitates the formation of multiple connection points, making the connection between the vehicle refrigerator and the vehicle more stable.

[0062] In terms of specific structure, combined Figures 4 to 7As shown, the horizontal portion 201 and the vertical portion 202 are connected in an "L" shape, which has a simple structure and is easy to process and form. In specific implementation, the horizontal portion 201 and the vertical portion 202 can be integrally formed to improve connection strength and processing efficiency. Of course, the horizontal portion 201 and the vertical portion 202 can also be formed separately and then connected together. The horizontal portion 201 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the vertical portion 202 is located at the rear end of the horizontal portion 201. The extension arms 2011 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the horizontal portion 201. Furthermore, the top of the vertical portion 202 is provided with an upturned edge 2021, which is connected to the housing 1 in the vertical direction, and the extension arms 2011 are connected to the housing 1 in the horizontal direction. The upturned edge 2021 at the top of the vertical portion 202 is connected to the housing 1 in the vertical direction of the vehicle, which facilitates the connection between the vertical portion 202 and the housing 1.

[0063] To facilitate the connection between the housing 1 and the extension arm 2011, two downwardly extending extension plates 1011 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom of the housing 1; each extension plate 1011 is correspondingly provided with the extension arm 2011 on the same side and connected together by a connecting structure. Here, the extension plates 1011 and the extension arm 2011 are connected together by a connecting structure, which facilitates the connection between the housing 1 and the extension arm 2011 and has good connection stability.

[0064] Mounting bracket 2 is specifically located between two extension plates 1011, and the two extension plates 1011, mounting bracket 2, and bottom of housing 1 define the aforementioned mounting space 200. A connecting structure connects the extension arm 2011 and the corresponding extension plate 1011 along the left-right direction of the vehicle. Through the connection of the upper flange 2021, the extension plate 1011, and the corresponding extension arm 2011, three connection points are formed in a triangular arrangement. This utilizes the high stability of the triangle to improve the mounting stability of mounting bracket 2 on housing 1. Furthermore, to enhance the structural strength of the extension plates 1011, multiple intersecting reinforcing ribs can be provided on the outer side of each extension plate 1011.

[0065] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 7 As shown, the extension arm 2011 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 2014, which extends from the extension arm 2011 to the transverse portion 201. This arrangement makes the first reinforcing rib 2014 also "L"-shaped. Providing the first reinforcing rib 2014 extending from the extension arm 2011 to the transverse portion 201 helps to enhance the structural strength between the extension arm 2011 and the transverse portion 201.

[0066] Furthermore, the transverse portion 201 is provided with heat dissipation holes 2012 and a second reinforcing rib 2013 arranged circumferentially along the heat dissipation holes 2012. Here, the heat dissipation holes 2012 help to further improve the heat dissipation effect of the installation space 200, and the second reinforcing rib 2013 can enhance the structural rigidity of the transverse portion 201 in the area of ​​the heat dissipation holes 2012. Furthermore, the left and right ends of the second reinforcing rib 2013 each have outwardly protruding portions to increase the length and coverage area of ​​the second reinforcing rib 2013, thereby improving the reinforcement effect at the heat dissipation holes 2012.

[0067] In addition, third reinforcing ribs 204 are provided on both sides of the vertical portion 202, extending from top to bottom and into the horizontal portion 201, to specifically enhance the structural strength at the connection between the vertical portion 202 and the horizontal portion 201. Reinforcing flanges 203 are provided on the edges of the horizontal portion 201, the vertical portion 202, and the extension arm 2011 to further enhance the structural strength of the mounting bracket 2. It is understood that the number and position of each reinforcing rib in this embodiment can be adjusted according to usage requirements.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, both the condenser and the compressor are housed within the mounting space 200, and a cooling fan 9 is provided on the transverse portion 201 to cool the condenser and the compressor. The fact that both the condenser and the compressor are housed within the mounting space 200, and that a cooling fan 9 is provided on the transverse portion 201 to cool these two key components, improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser and the compressor.

[0069] Specifically, the compression section is compressor 3, and the condensation section is condenser 4. (Refer to...) Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the compressor 3, condenser 4, and cooling fan 9 are arranged sequentially from front to back on the transverse portion 201 along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. The mounting portion can specifically be a mounting hole provided on the transverse portion 201, which has a simple structure and facilitates the installation of the corresponding components on the transverse portion 201. Considering that the cooling fan 9 is located on the front side of the vertical portion 202, a vent 2022 is provided on the vertical portion 202 to ensure the effectiveness of the cooling fan 9.

[0070] In this embodiment, the condenser 4 has multiple condenser pipes spaced apart along the left and right direction of the vehicle. This not only facilitates the cooling fan 9 in cooling the condenser 4, but also allows the airflow blown out by the cooling fan 9 to flow towards the compressor 3 at the front, thereby enabling the cooling fan 9 to cool both the condenser 4 and the compressor 3 at the same time.

[0071] In addition, a capillary tube 8 is provided between the condenser 4 and the refrigeration section. The capillary tube 8 can be a product of the prior art. The refrigerant is cooled and condensed into a high-pressure liquid in the condenser 4. When it passes through the capillary tube 8, due to the small inner diameter of the capillary tube 8, it creates resistance to the refrigerant, causing the refrigerant pressure to drop sharply from a high-pressure state to a low-pressure state, thereby meeting the requirement of the evaporator in the refrigeration section to evaporate and absorb heat under low pressure.

[0072] Furthermore, a dryer filter 7 can be installed between the condenser 4 and the capillary tube 8. The refrigerant exiting the condenser 4 is a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid. After passing through the dryer filter 7, moisture and impurities in the refrigerant can be removed. This helps prevent moisture from freezing in the capillary tube 8 and forming ice blockage, which would affect the normal operation of the refrigeration system. It also prevents impurities from entering the capillary tube 8 or other components such as the refrigeration unit, causing blockage or wear, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the refrigeration system.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 1 includes an outer shell 101 with an open top, an inner liner 102 disposed within the outer shell 101, and a frame 103 connecting the inner liner 102 and the outer shell 101 together, with the outer shell 101, the inner liner 102, and the frame 103 forming a cavity. A storage cavity 100 is formed inside the inner liner 102, and a cooling unit is located within the cavity. The cooling unit includes cooling pipes 5 disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner 102, the cooling pipes 5 being arranged in a continuous serpentine pattern, and a conductive plate 1022 being provided between the cooling pipes 5 and the inner liner 102.

[0074] In this embodiment, the refrigeration unit is disposed in the cavity formed by the outer shell 101, the inner liner 102, and the frame 103. The outer wall of the inner liner 102 is provided with several conductive plates 1022, which increases the contact area between the refrigeration unit and the inner liner 102, allowing the cooling energy generated by the refrigeration pipe 5 to be transferred to the inner liner 102 more efficiently through the conductive plates 1022. The refrigeration pipe 5 is arranged in a continuous serpentine pattern, specifically meaning that the refrigeration pipe 5 has multiple U-shaped segments spaced vertically apart, with adjacent segments connected at the same end by an arc-shaped connecting segment. The serpentine arrangement of the refrigeration pipe 5 in this embodiment increases its length, allowing it to be more evenly distributed outside the conductive plates 1022. This ensures uniform cooling energy distribution around the storage cavity 100, preventing localized overheating or underheating, maintaining a balanced temperature within the storage cavity 100, and improving the preservation effect of the items.

[0075] An exemplary structure of housing 1 is as follows: Figures 8 to 14 As shown, the aforementioned extension plate 1011 is formed at the bottom of the outer shell 101. A plurality of fourth reinforcing ribs 1012 are connected and arranged at the bottom inside the outer shell 101. Each fourth reinforcing rib 1012 is hexagonal, which helps to improve the structural strength of the outer shell 101.

[0076] The inner liner 102 is made of one-piece stretched aluminum, which makes the inner liner 102 seamless and helps to improve the heat preservation performance of the cabinet 1. In this embodiment, the volume of the inner liner 102 can be about 7L, at which point the storage cavity 100 can store 6 bottles of 550ml mineral water. Of course, the volume of the storage cavity 100 can also be adjusted according to usage needs.

[0077] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the aforementioned conductive plates 1022 are specifically disposed on the outer circumferential wall of the inner liner 102, and the cooling pipes 5 on each conductive plate 1022 are sequentially connected. The conductive plates can be fixed to the inner liner 102 by adhesive bonding, and the cooling pipes 5 can also be fixed to the conductive plates by adhesive bonding. In this embodiment, there are multiple conductive plates 1022, and each conductive plate 1022 is independently disposed, which not only facilitates their arrangement on the inner liner 102 but also facilitates individual maintenance or replacement of the conductive plates 1022, thus providing good flexibility in use. It is understood that the number and position of the conductive plates 1022 can be adaptively adjusted according to usage requirements.

[0078] To facilitate the connection between the inner liner 102 and the frame 103, such as Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, the inner liner 102 has multiple circumferentially spaced locking holes 1021 on its top edge, and locking heads 1031 corresponding to the locking holes 1021 on the frame 103. The inner liner 102 is fixed to the frame 103 by the locking heads 1031 engaging with the corresponding locking holes 1021. The frame 103 is then mounted on the outer shell 101 by screws passing through it. This simple installation method between the inner liner 102 and the frame 103, and between the frame 103 and the outer shell 101, facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the housing 1.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, a heating element is also provided inside the cavity, located on the bottom wall of the inner liner 102, for heating the inner liner 102. The heating element located on the bottom wall of the inner liner 102 within the cavity can heat the inner liner 102, enabling the vehicle refrigerator to not only be used for refrigeration but also for heating and keeping items warm in cold environments, thus expanding the scope of use and applicable scenarios of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0080] As a possible implementation method, such as Figure 16As shown, the heating element can be a heating film 6 disposed on the outer side of the bottom wall of the inner liner 102, which can be fixed to the inner liner 102 by adhesive bonding. The heating film 6 here can be an existing electric heating film 6, which has a large contact area with the inner liner 102 and can generate heat after being energized, thereby heating the items inside the storage cavity 100. Of course, in addition to using the heating film 6, other products with heating effects can also be used, as long as they meet the usage requirements. Furthermore, insulation material can be filled into the cavity to further improve the insulation effect of the storage cavity 100.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle refrigerator of this embodiment also includes a cover 12 disposed on the frame 103. The cover 12 is used to open and close the opening at the top of the inner liner 102. At least one storage slot 1201 is formed on the top of the cover 12. The storage slot 1201 formed on the top of the cover 12 can add extra storage space to the vehicle refrigerator and further improve the space utilization rate of the cover 12.

[0082] An exemplary structure of the cover 12 here is as follows Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, to improve the usability of the cover 12, a downward protruding protrusion 1202 is provided on the top of the cover 12. The protrusion 1202 can be inserted into the frame 103 to seal the top opening of the storage cavity 100. The storage slot 1201 is provided on the top of the cover 12. After it is installed on the sub-dashboard, the storage slot 1201 can be one as shown in the figure, or multiple slots can be arranged separately. It can be covered by two opposing armrests pivotally mounted on the dashboard.

[0083] When the armrest is closed, it can cover the car refrigerator and storage compartment 1201. When the armrest is open, the cover 12 can be exposed, allowing items in the storage compartment 1201 to be taken out, and items in the storage cavity 100 can be put in or taken out by opening the cover 12.

[0084] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic attraction part is provided between the cover 12 and the frame 103, connecting the cover 12 and the frame 103. A sealing element 1203 is also provided between the cover 12 and the frame 103 to form a seal between them. Connecting the cover 12 and the frame 103 via the magnetic attraction part improves ease of use, while the sealing element 1203 effectively improves the airtightness of the vehicle refrigerator, thereby enhancing its heat preservation performance and extending the shelf life of items.

[0085] like Figure 21As shown, the sealing element 1203 can be a sealing ring fitted over the protrusion. The sealing ring 1203 is annular and can be made of silicone material. The sealing ring 1203 has a simple structure, is easy to arrange and implement, and provides good sealing performance. Additionally, the magnetic attraction part includes a magnet located inside the cover 12 and iron blocks located inside the frame 103 that can magnetically attract the magnet. In specific implementations, multiple magnets are spaced apart along the circumference of the cover 12, and multiple iron blocks are also arranged vertically corresponding to the magnets. This improves the sealing effect of the cover 12. The magnets can be permanent magnets from the prior art, which have good operational stability.

[0086] In addition, in this embodiment, the cover 12 can be installed on the frame 103 by magnetic attraction alone, or it can be rotatably mounted on the frame 103 by a pivot and fixed with magnetic attraction. Regardless of the installation method of the cover 12, the opening at the top of the storage cavity 100 can be opened and closed.

[0087] Furthermore, multiple buffer blocks 1204 can be provided on the cover 12 at circumferential intervals along the protrusion. The buffer blocks 1204 are made of elastic material. When the cover 12 covers the frame 103, the buffer blocks 1204 can reduce the sound of the cover 12 colliding with the frame 103, thus achieving the effect of buffering and noise reduction. The buffer blocks 1204 can reduce the noise generated by the vibration of the cover 12 and the frame 103 during vehicle operation, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle.

[0088] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 103 is provided with an ambient light 1032 for illuminating the storage cavity 100, and the ambient light 1032 can be triggered to light up when the cover 12 is opened. By providing an ambient light 1032 on the frame 103, the ambient light 1032 can be triggered to light up when the cover 12 is opened, providing better lighting conditions for the user when retrieving items, making it easier for the user to see the items inside the storage cavity 100.

[0089] In specific implementation, such as Figures 13 to 15 and Figure 18 As shown, an ambient light mounting hole 1033 is provided on the frame 103, and the ambient light 1032 can be used as part of the storage cavity 100 through the ambient light mounting hole 1033. The light panel and Hall sensor of the ambient light 1032 are both set inside the frame 103, and the working principle of the ambient light 1032 can refer to the prior art.

[0090] The Hall sensor is installed within the mounting space of the frame 103, and a permanent magnet corresponding to the Hall sensor is mounted on the cover 12. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that when the cover 12 is closed, the distance between the permanent magnet and the Hall sensor is appropriate, so that the Hall sensor is within the magnetic field range of the permanent magnet; when the cover 12 is open, the distance between the permanent magnet and the Hall sensor changes, causing a significant change in the magnetic field strength sensed by the Hall sensor.

[0091] When the cover 12 is closed, the permanent magnet approaches the Hall sensor, placing the Hall sensor in a strong magnetic field. At this time, the Hall sensor outputs a specific electrical signal based on the detected magnetic field strength. This signal can be a low-level signal, indicating that the cover 12 is closed, and the ambient light 1032 is off. When the cover 12 is opened, the permanent magnet moves away from the Hall sensor, weakening the magnetic field around the sensor. When the magnetic field strength weakens to a certain level, the Hall sensor's output signal changes, for example, from a low level to a high level. This level change is detected by the control module in the circuit. Upon receiving this signal, the control module triggers the drive circuit of the ambient light 1032, causing the ambient light 1032 to illuminate, thus realizing the function of triggering the ambient light 1032 based on the open / closed state of the cover 12.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, the front end of the housing 1 is inserted and connected to the rear end of the sub-instrument frame 10. The housing 1 is provided with multiple snap-fit ​​parts and connecting parts. When the front end of the housing 1 is inserted into the sub-instrument frame 10, the snap-fit ​​parts snap onto the sub-instrument frame 10, and the connecting parts are detachably fixed to the sub-instrument frame 10 via connectors. The insertion and connection of the front end of the housing 1 to the rear end of the sub-instrument frame 10 provides a precise installation position for the vehicle refrigerator inside the vehicle, facilitating installation and operation. The design of multiple snap-fit ​​parts and connecting parts further enhances the connection strength between the housing 1 and the sub-instrument frame 10.

[0093] In terms of specific structure, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 22 As shown, connecting portions 1001 extending rearward are provided on both sides of the rear end of the sub-instrument frame 10, and the front end of the housing 101 is inserted into the insertion space defined between the two connecting portions 1001. Furthermore, the vehicle refrigerator main control board assembly 13 is installed at the front end of the housing 101, and in the inserted state, the front end of the housing and the rear end of the sub-instrument frame 10 form an arrangement space for accommodating the main control board assembly 13.

[0094] To improve the ease of insertion between the housing 1 and the sub-instrument frame 10, guide grooves 1002 are provided at the rear end of the connecting portion 1001, and guide blocks 1014, corresponding to each guide groove 1002, are provided on both sides of the front end of the housing 101. The sliding of the guide blocks 1014 within the corresponding guide grooves 1002 guides the sliding housing 101. Furthermore, each connecting portion 1001 has two guide grooves 1002 spaced vertically apart, and the guide blocks 1014 on each side of the housing 101 are also two, corresponding to each guide groove 1002. The guiding cooperation of the four guide blocks 1014 and the four guide grooves 1002 further enhances the insertion effect and convenience of the housing 1 at the rear end of the sub-instrument frame 10.

[0095] In addition, positioning blocks 1013 are provided on both sides of the front end of the housing 101. Corresponding to each positioning block 1013, positioning holes 1003 are provided on each connecting part 1001. As the housing 1 is inserted into the sub-instrument frame 10, the positioning block 1013 can be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 1003, thereby realizing the pre-positioning of the housing 1 on the sub-instrument frame 10.

[0096] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 22 As shown, the connecting part includes a plurality of connecting holes 1015 spaced apart on each side of the front end of the housing 101 along the height direction of the whole vehicle. Connecting parts such as screws pass through the connecting part 1001 along the left and right direction of the whole vehicle and are screwed to the corresponding connecting holes 1015, thereby connecting the positioned housing 1 to the sub-instrument frame 10 together.

[0097] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion in this embodiment includes multiple snap-fit ​​holes on both sides of the front end of the housing 101, and corresponding to each snap-fit ​​hole, multiple buckles are provided on the connecting portion 1001. When the housing 1 is inserted into place, the housing 1 and the sub-instrument frame 10 are snapped together by the snap-fit ​​of the buckles with the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the housing 1 and the sub-instrument frame 10 can also be connected by snap-fit ​​or connectors, as long as the usage requirements are met.

[0098] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple mounting points 1016 are provided on the left and right sides of the outer casing 101. The inner panel of the side panel 11 in the sub-dashboard is connected to the outer casing 101 by snap-fitting with the corresponding mounting points 1016. This helps to further enhance the connection strength between the cabinet 1 and the sub-dashboard, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle refrigerator during use. After assembly, the vehicle refrigerator, as part of the sub-dashboard, also serves as a support.

[0099] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator features a mounting bracket at the bottom of the body 1 for installing the compressor 3, condenser 4, and cooling fan 9. This reduces the space occupied in the front and rear directions of the vehicle while also improving the structural stability of the mounting bracket 2, resulting in better structural performance and making the mounting bracket 2 less prone to damage. Furthermore, this vehicle-mounted refrigerator incorporates both cooling and heating sections, providing dual-temperature technology for both hot and cold drinks in summer and warm drinks in winter. Moreover, the cover 12, while enclosing the storage cavity 100, also integrates storage space, allowing passengers to easily access small items by opening the elbow rest. The inclusion of an ambient light 1032 to illuminate the storage cavity 100 further enhances the convenience of retrieving items from within the storage cavity 100.
