Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle refrigerator technology, and in particular to a quick-release structure for a vehicle refrigerator. Background Technology
[0002] Existing car refrigerators are typically fixed in the trunk or armrest box of a vehicle. While relatively stable, their cumbersome installation and removal make them difficult to carry independently for outdoor use, limiting their application scenarios. To address this issue, detachable and separately portable car refrigerators have been introduced to the market.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN117341555A discloses a quick-release car refrigerator, including a center console base, with the car refrigerator body installed inside the center console base. A limit seat is provided on the upper front side of the center console base, and an unlocking handle is provided on the lower front side of the car refrigerator body, which engages with the limit seat. When the unlocking handle is pulled up and the unlocking button is pressed, the entire car refrigerator can be unlocked, and the car refrigerator can be pulled forward to disassemble it.
[0004] The problem with existing technology is that the unlocking device has many parts, a complex structure, and is inconvenient to install and maintain. Utility Model Content

[0007] It also includes a locking device, which is fixedly installed inside the armrest box base. The locking device includes a transmission mechanism, and the two ends of the transmission mechanism are respectively provided with a knob and a locking element.
[0008] The refrigerator body has a lock hole at the bottom. Rotating the knob can drive the locking member to be inserted into or disengaged from the lock hole, thereby controlling the locking or unlocking of the armrest base and the refrigerator body.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the transmission mechanism is a gear set or a connecting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a gear set, a screw, and a nut. The knob is vertically connected to one end of the gear set, the screw is vertically connected to the other end of the gear set, the nut is screwed onto the screw, and the locking member is fixedly connected to the nut.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the knob is located on the outside of the armrest box base, the transmission mechanism is fixedly installed inside the armrest box base, and a spring is provided between the bottom end of the locking member and the armrest box base.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the refrigerator body is provided with a bottom shell, the bottom shell is provided with a sliding groove, and the armrest base is provided with a sliding part, the sliding groove and the sliding part are slidably connected;
[0013] The sliding part is provided with an L-shaped hook, and the bottom shell is provided with a hanging groove. The L-shaped hook is movably connected to the hanging groove.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lock hole is integrally formed with the bottom shell.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting a locking device on the base of the armrest box, the up and down movement of the locking part is controlled by the linkage of the knob and the gear set, so that the locking part can be inserted into or uninserted from the lock hole at the bottom of the refrigerator body, thereby locking or unlocking the refrigerator body from the armrest box base; after rotating the knob to unlock, the refrigerator body can be easily disassembled after sliding a certain distance towards the locking part. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 A quick-release structure for a vehicle refrigerator includes a center console base 1 and a refrigerator body mounted on the center console base 1.
[0030] It also includes a locking device 2, which is fixedly installed in the armrest box base 1. The locking device 2 includes a transmission mechanism 22, and the two ends of the transmission mechanism 22 are respectively provided with a knob 21 and a locking element 23.
[0031] The bottom of the refrigerator body has a lock hole 31. Rotating the knob 21 can drive the locking member 23 to engage or disengage from the lock hole 31, thereby controlling the locking or unlocking of the armrest base 1 and the refrigerator body. Even people with little strength can easily unlock the refrigerator body using the knob 21. After unlocking, the refrigerator body can be moved along... Figure 7 Push the refrigerator a certain distance in the direction of the arrow (where the locking part 23 is located) to remove it from the armrest box and use it as an outdoor refrigerator.
[0032] Depending on the application and production requirements, the transmission mechanism 22 can be a gear set 221 or a connecting rod. The gear set 221, also known as a reduction gearbox, is a general-purpose transmission connection structure.
[0033] Preferred, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 22 includes a gear set 221, a screw 222 and a nut 223. The knob 21 is vertically connected to one end of the gear set 221, the screw 222 is vertically connected to the other end of the gear set 221, the nut 223 is screwed onto the screw 222, and the locking member 23 is fixedly connected to the nut 223.
[0034] Rotating the knob 21 causes the gear set 221 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 222, which is vertically located at the other end of the gear set 221, to rotate. The nut 223 on the screw 222 moves up and down under the action of the screw threads. The locking member 23 fixed on the nut 223 also moves in the vertical direction, thereby engaging or disengaging from the lock hole 31, thus realizing the function of locking and unlocking.
[0035] Preferred, refer to Figures 3 to 5 The knob 21 is located on the outside of the armrest base 1, and the transmission mechanism 22 is fixedly installed inside the armrest base 1. A spring 24 is provided between the bottom end of the locking member 23 and the armrest base 1. The spring 24 allows the locking member 23 to move downward more quickly, resulting in a shorter unlocking time. At the same time, it also increases the resistance when the locking member 23 moves upward, providing force feedback to the user and better distinguishing between the unlocked and locked states. This makes operation convenient and provides a good user experience.
[0036] Preferred, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The refrigerator body has a bottom shell 3 at the bottom, and a sliding groove 32 on the bottom shell 3. The armrest box base 1 has a sliding part 11, and the sliding groove 32 is slidably connected to the sliding part 11.
[0037] The lock hole 31 is integrally formed with the bottom shell 3. The bottom shell 3 can be made of metal to improve the rigidity of the refrigerator body and ensure the stability of the connection between the refrigerator body and the armrest base 1.
[0038] Preferably, the sliding part 11 is provided with an L-shaped hook 12, and the bottom shell 3 is provided with a mounting groove 33. The L-shaped hook 12 is movably connected to the mounting groove 33. In the locked state, the L-shaped hook 12 is inserted into the mounting groove 33 to fix the refrigerator body and prevent the refrigerator body from shaking during vehicle operation.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
