[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle refrigerator includes a body 100, a first handle 200, a first caster 300, and a lifting device 400. The first handle 200 is installed on the left side wall of the body 100; the first caster 300 is installed on the left end of the bottom of the body 100; the lifting device 400 includes a connecting component 410 and a second handle 420. One end of the connecting component 410 is rotatably installed on the lower end of the right side wall of the body 100, and the other end of the connecting component 410 is rotatably connected to the second handle 420. A first locking structure is provided between the body 100 and the connecting component 410. The second locking structure, when the connecting component 410 is rotated to a position flush with the right side wall of the box 100, the height of the second handle 420 is flush with the height of the first handle 200. The first locking structure can lock or unlock the position of the connecting component 410. When the connecting component 410 is rotated to a position parallel to the bottom of the box 100, the second locking structure can lock or unlock the position of the connecting component 410. Thus, the lifting device 400 can be folded and switched between the mode of lifting the box 100 with double handles and the mode of pulling a suitcase, so as to meet the needs of moving car refrigerators in more scenarios.

[0029] The vehicle refrigerator provided by this utility model allows for locking or unlocking of the connecting component 410 of the lifting device 400 when it rotates to a position flush with the right side wall of the body 100. Since the height of the second handle 420 is flush with the height of the first handle 200, both handles can be used to lift the body 100 of the vehicle refrigerator, allowing people to move the refrigerator by lifting it with both handles. When the connecting component 410 rotates to a position parallel to the bottom of the body 100, the second locking structure can be used to... The position of the locking or unlocking connection component 410 is determined by the fact that the first caster 300 is installed at the bottom left end of the box 100. Therefore, the connection component 410 located at the right end of the box 100 can cooperate with the first caster 300, allowing people to move the car refrigerator by pulling a suitcase. With the above settings, the car refrigerator provided by this utility model can be moved by lifting the box 100 with double handles or by pulling a suitcase, thus better meeting the moving needs in more scenarios. For example, on flat roads, choosing to move the car refrigerator by pulling a suitcase is more labor-saving and easier.

[0030] In some embodiments, a foot pad or a second caster may be provided at the right end of the bottom of the housing 100, with the foot pad or second caster flush with the first caster 300.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting component 410 is configured as a telescopic rod, and the first locking structure includes a support groove 110 disposed on the right side wall of the cabinet 100. The entrance of the support groove 110 faces downward. When the connecting component 410 is rotated to a position flush with the right side wall of the cabinet 100, the upper end of the connecting component 410 can enter and exit the support groove 110 through the extension and retraction of the connecting component 410. Thus, when it is necessary to lift the car refrigerator with two handles, the connecting component 410 can be rotated toward the right side wall of the cabinet 100 and the connecting component 410 can be extended and retracted, so that the upper end of the connecting component 410 can be inserted into the support groove 110. The side wall of the support groove 110 restricts the rotation of the connecting component 410, so that people can use the second handle 420 and the first handle 200 to lift the cabinet 100. At the same time, during the lifting of the cabinet 100, the side wall of the support groove 110 can provide a bearing point for the second handle 420 when pulling upward, increasing the structural strength of the entire lifting device 400. Furthermore, when the connecting assembly 410 is rotated to a position parallel to the bottom of the housing 100, the overall length of the connecting assembly 410 can be adjusted by extending or retracting the connecting assembly 410.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting assembly 410 includes an inner rod 411, an outer rod 412, and a reset structure 413. The outer rod 412 is sleeved on the inner rod 411. A connecting part 4121 is provided at the end of the outer rod 412 away from the inner rod 411. The connecting part 4121 is rotatably connected to the second handle 420. The end of the inner rod 411 away from the outer rod 412 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the right side wall of the box 100. The reset structure 413 is disposed between the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412. The reset structure 413 is used to drive the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412 to slide out relative to each other. When the connecting assembly 410 is rotated to a position flush with the right side wall of the box 100, the connecting part 4121 can enter and exit the support groove 110 through the relative sliding of the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412. With the above configuration, the connecting component 410 can be retracted and automatically extended. When the connecting component 410 is rotated to the right side wall of the housing 100, the connecting component 410 can be manually compressed and then released. The connecting part 4121 of the connecting component 410 can then be inserted into the support groove 110 under the action of the reset structure 413. Subsequently, the connecting component 410 needs to be compressed again to make the connecting part 4121 disengage from the support groove 110.

[0033] In practice, the reset structure 413 can be a spring or two mutually repelling magnets.

[0034] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting component 410 can also adopt other configurations. For example, the reset structure 413 described above can be replaced with an elastic limiting card. The elastic limiting card is installed in the inner rod 411, and the outer rod 412 has multiple stop holes along the axial direction. The elastic limiting card can be locked in any one of the stop holes. With the above configuration, the connecting component 410 can also be extended and retracted. When the connecting part 4121 is inserted into the support groove 110, the elastic limiting card is inserted into one of the stop holes. Thus, when the connecting component 410 is not operated to retract, the connecting part 4121 will not fall out of the support groove 110.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this utility model, an anti-detachment member 414 is provided between the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412. The anti-detachment member 414 is used to limit the range of relative sliding extension of the outer rod 412 and the inner rod 411, and to prevent the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412 from separating from each other. Specifically, the outer periphery of the inner rod 411 is stepped and axial. The anti-detachment member 414 is sleeved on the inner rod 411 and fixedly installed at the end of the outer rod 412 facing the inner rod 411. Thus, the anti-detachment member 414 can limit the inner rod 411 and the outer rod 412 from separating from each other.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the second locking structure includes a locking member 500, which is telescopically mounted on the end of the inner rod 411 opposite to the outer rod 412. A first insertion hole 120 is provided on the housing 100. When the connecting assembly 410 rotates to a position parallel to the bottom of the housing 100, the locking member 500 extends and inserts into the first insertion hole 120, thereby restricting the rotation of the connecting assembly 410. Simultaneously, a load-bearing point is formed between the locking member 500 and the side wall of the first insertion hole 120, improving structural strength. When the outer rod 412 slides towards the locking member 500, the outer rod 412 can push the locking member 500 to retract, causing the locking member 500 to disengage from the first insertion hole 120, thereby unlocking the connecting assembly 410 and allowing the connecting assembly 410 to rotate towards the right side wall of the housing 100. With the above configuration, the locking member 500 can be unlocked by sliding the outer rod 412 without the need for other additional operating parts, making unlocking more convenient and simpler, and easier to use.

[0037] Reference Figure 3According to some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 is provided with a second insertion hole 130. When the connecting assembly 410 rotates to be parallel to the right side wall of the housing 100, the locking member 500 can extend and insert into the second insertion hole 130. Thus, in the double-handle mode, the connecting assembly 410 can be locked simultaneously using the second locking structure, thereby better restricting the rotation of the connecting assembly 410. In addition, the locking member 500 and the housing 100 can also provide a load-bearing point, improving the structural strength of the lifting device 400.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the locking member 500 includes a pin 510 and a spring portion 530. The inner rod 411 is provided with a mounting hole 4111. One end of the pin 510 is slidably inserted into the mounting hole 4111. The spring portion 530 is located within the mounting hole 4111 and is disposed between the pin 510 and the bottom wall of the mounting hole 4111. A transmission portion 520 is provided on the outer periphery of the pin 510. The transmission portion 520 is provided with a transmission surface 521 for transmission cooperation with the outer rod 412. The transmission surface 521 is configured as an inclined surface or an arc surface. The mounting hole 4111 communicates with a receiving groove 4112, and one end of the transmission portion 520 is inserted into the receiving groove 4112. With the above configuration, the locking member 500 can extend and retract at the mounting hole 4111, and the outer rod 412 can push the locking member 500 to retract for unlocking. The spring portion 530 can drive the locking member 500 to automatically extend for locking.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, two sets of connecting components 410 are arranged side by side, and the second handle 420 is rotatably installed between the two sets of connecting components 410, thereby improving the structural strength of the lifting device 400.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
