[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] See Figures 1-7 A vehicle-mounted refrigerator, comprising:

[0037] The refrigerator body 1 is located in the trunk and extends from the trunk to the middle of the backrest of the rear seat, with the opening 6 facing the rear space.

[0038] Refrigerator door 2, which is installed on the refrigerator body 1 and is used to close or open the opening 6.

[0039] In the above technical solution, a hole is cut in the middle of the backrests of the two rear seats. The refrigerator body 1 is placed in the trunk, and the opening 6 of the refrigerator body 1 is inserted into the hole. The shape and size of the hole match the shape and size of the refrigerator body 1. At this time, the opening 6 faces the rear space and allows drinks and food to be taken out and put in the rear seats. It has the advantages of easy access and use, does not take up passenger space, and has a high level of passenger comfort. Visually, it has good concealment, is coordinated with the shape of the whole vehicle, and is more aesthetically pleasing. It will not move or fall off due to car bumps.

[0040] In this embodiment, the refrigerator body 1 is equipped with a tool assembly, which includes a compressor 3, a condenser 4, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The compressor 3 compresses the refrigerant, changing it from a gaseous state to a high-temperature, high-pressure state, providing power for the refrigeration cycle. The condenser 4 acts as a heat exchanger, converting the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant, releasing heat to the external environment. The expansion valve (or capillary tube) is a throttling device that reduces the refrigerant pressure and temperature, creating a two-phase gas-liquid state, preparing it for entry into the evaporator. In the evaporator, the liquid refrigerant undergoes heat exchange and vaporization, absorbing heat from inside the refrigerator, lowering the temperature to the desired value, and then returns to the compressor 3, completing one cycle. The conventional refrigeration technology of this refrigerator, employing the compressor 3, condenser 4, expansion valve, and evaporator, will not be elaborated further here.

[0041] In this embodiment, the refrigerator body 1 is further provided with a container 5 inside. The container 5 is connected to the output pipe of the compressor 3. The opening 6 of the container 5 protrudes from the surface of the refrigerator body 1, and the opening of the refrigerator body 1 is the opening provided on the container 5. The container 5 is used to store beverages, food, etc. The cold air from the compressor 3 is introduced into the container 5 through the output pipe to cool the beverages, food, etc. in the container 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, the refrigerator body 1 has a tool cavity 7 and a cooling cavity 8 inside. The tool assembly is disposed in the tool cavity 7 and the container 5 is disposed in the cooling cavity 8. That is, the tool assembly and the container 5 are separated. The tool assembly generates heat when cooling, so the separation can minimize the impact of the heat generated by the tool assembly on the cooling effect in the container 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, the refrigerator door 2 is provided with a locking assembly 9. One end of the refrigerator door 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the opening 6 of the container 5, and the other end of the refrigerator door 2 is connected to the other end of the opening 6 of the container 5 via the locking assembly 9. The locking assembly 9 is used to connect or disconnect the refrigerator door 2 from the container 5. When the locking assembly 9 connects the refrigerator door 2 to the container 5, the refrigerator door 2 is in a closed state; when the locking assembly 9 disconnects from the container 5, the refrigerator door 2 is in an open state.

[0044] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 9 includes a pressing member 10 and a locking member 11. The middle part of the pressing member 10 is rotatably connected to the refrigerator door 2 via a pivot. One end of the locking member 11 is provided with a pressure plate 12, and the other end is provided with a locking strip 13. The inner side of the receiver 5 is provided with a locking groove 14, and the locking strip 13 is inserted into the locking groove 14. One end of the pressing member 10 is provided with a pressing part 15, and the other end is provided with a pressing strip 16. The pressing strip 16 is located above the pressure plate 12. When the pressing part 15 is pressed, the pressing member 10 rotates, causing the pressing strip 16 to press against the pressure plate 12, thereby disengaging the locking strip 13 from the locking groove 14. Specifically, by prying the pressing part 15 outward, the pressing member 10 rotates around the pivot. At this time, the pressing strip 16 approaches the pressure plate 12 and pushes the pressure plate 12, causing the locking member 11 to move and disengage the locking strip 13 from the locking groove 14, thus opening the refrigerator door 2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 9 further includes a torsion spring and a spring, with the torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft; the refrigerator door 2 is provided with a guide groove, and the locking member 11 and the spring are located in the guide groove, with one end of the spring abutting against the inner wall of the guide groove and the other end abutting against the locking member 11. When the pressing part 15 is released, the torsion spring resets the pressing member 10, and the reset pressing member 10 no longer applies force to the locking member 11, and the locking member 11 resets under the action of the spring.

[0046] It should be noted that the refrigerator door 2 is formed by two halves connected by bolts, and a cavity is formed between the two halves. The guide groove is set on one of the halves, the locking component 9 is set in the cavity, and the locking strip 13 protrudes from the refrigerator door 2 or retracts into the refrigerator door 2 by bending the pressing part 15.

[0047] In this embodiment, the refrigerator door 2 is provided with a panel 17, which is fitted onto the refrigerator door 2. The shape of the panel 17 is designed to match the shape of the middle position of the rear seat back. Matching the middle position of the rear seat back with the panel 17 provides a good aesthetic effect, making the car refrigerator visually integrated with the car structure. It should be noted that different car models have different shapes of the middle position of the rear seat back, therefore the shape of the panel 17 will also differ. The shape and size of the panel 17 are not limited here; the specific shape and size are determined by its compatibility with the shape and size of the middle position of the rear seat back.

[0048] In this embodiment, the condenser 4 is equipped with a cooling fan 18, and the refrigerator body 1 is equipped with heat dissipation holes 19. The heat generated by the condenser 4 is dissipated through the cooling fan 18 and then dissipated to the outside through the heat dissipation holes 19.

[0049] In this embodiment, the present invention also includes a connecting plate, which is used to be installed in the middle position of the backrest of the rear seat, and the connecting plate is provided with a through hole for the portion of the container 5 that protrudes from the refrigerator body 1 to pass through.

[0050] The refrigerator body 1 also includes a connecting structure 20, which is connected to the outer side of the container 5; the container 5 passes through the through hole and is connected to the connecting plate through the connecting structure 20.

[0051] It should be noted that the connecting structure 20 is bolted to the outer side of the container 5 and the connecting plate; the function of the connecting plate is to make the refrigerator body 1 more stable when connected to it than when directly connected to the vehicle body.

[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
