[0053] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a vehicle refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a cabinet assembly 1, a first door 2, a second door 3, and a drive assembly 5.
[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing assembly 1 has a receiving space 11 and a first opening 12 and a second opening 13 communicating with the receiving space 11. The first opening 12 is located on the upper side wall of the housing assembly 1, and the second opening 13 is located on the housing assembly 1 along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 On the side wall at one end of the first direction (as shown), the first direction and the up and down directions (such as...) Figure 1 (The vertical direction shown) is vertical. It is understood that the accommodating space 11 is used to accommodate items placed in the vehicle refrigerator 100, which has a cold preservation function and can provide users with iced drinks or help users store low-temperature foods.
[0056] Furthermore, by providing the first opening 12 and the second opening 13, users can retrieve items from the storage space 11 from either the top of the vehicle refrigerator 100 or one end of the vehicle refrigerator 100 in a first direction, making it convenient for users located in different directions of the vehicle refrigerator 100 to use the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first door 2 is located at the first opening 12 and is used to open or close the first opening 12; the second door 3 is located at the second opening 13 and is used to open or close the second opening 13. When a user needs to retrieve items from the vehicle refrigerator 100 through the first opening 12, the first door 2 opens the first opening 12, allowing the user to retrieve items from the storage space 11. After retrieval, the first door 2 closes the first opening 12 to avoid affecting the cooling effect of the storage space 11. When a user needs to retrieve items from the vehicle refrigerator 100 through the second opening 13, the second door 3 opens the second opening 13, allowing the user to retrieve items from the storage space 11. After retrieval, the second door 3 closes the second opening 13 to avoid affecting the cooling effect of the storage space 11.
[0058] The drive assembly 5 is used to drive the first door 2 and / or the second door 3 to move, thereby realizing the electric operation of the first door 2 and / or the second door 3, which can improve the user experience and enhance the intelligence level of the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle refrigerator 100, by providing a first opening 12 and a second opening 13 communicating with the accommodating space 11 within the cabinet assembly 1, allows users to retrieve items from the accommodating space 11 from two locations, facilitating use of the vehicle refrigerator 100 by users located in different directions. The accommodating space 11 has no partitions or other dividing components, increasing the volume of the vehicle refrigerator 100. The drive assembly 5 is used to drive the first door 2 and / or the second door 3, enabling the first door 2 and / or the second door 3 to operate electrically, thus improving the user experience and enhancing the intelligence level of the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0060] In this embodiment, the vehicle refrigerator 100 is used in a vehicle. The first direction is the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. Front row users can take out items from the storage space 11 through the first opening 12. The second opening 13 can be located on the rear side, and rear row users can take out items from the storage space 11 through the second opening 13, thus satisfying the user experience of both front and rear row users.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle refrigerator 100 also includes a drawer assembly 4, which is connected to the second door 3. The drawer assembly 4 is movable along a first direction. When the second door 3 is closed at the second opening 13, the drawer assembly 4 is located inside the receiving space 11. When the second door 3 is open at the second opening 13, the drawer assembly 4 is at least partially located outside the receiving space 11. It is understood that when the second door 3 is closed at the second opening 13, all items in the receiving space 11 are located inside the drawer assembly 4. When a user needs to retrieve items from the vehicle refrigerator 100 through the second opening 13, the second door 3 opens the second opening 13, and the drawer assembly 4 can bring the items in the receiving space 11 out of the vehicle refrigerator 100, avoiding the need for the user to reach into the receiving space 11 to retrieve items, thus improving the user experience. Simultaneously, it prevents items in the receiving space 11 from falling out of the vehicle refrigerator 100 when the second door 3 opens the second opening 13, preventing items from becoming dirty or damaged, further improving the user experience.
[0062] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the drive assembly 5 includes a first drive motor 51, which is located at the bottom of the accommodating space 11 and connected to the drawer assembly 4 via a transmission assembly 52. The first drive motor 51 is used to drive the drawer assembly 4 to move along a first direction. Specifically, the transmission assembly 52 is connected to both the output shaft of the drawer assembly 4 and the output shaft of the first drive motor 51, and is used to convert the rotation of the output shaft of the first drive motor 51 into the movement of the drawer assembly 4 along the first direction. The transmission assembly 52 can transmit the motion of the first drive motor 51 to the drawer assembly 4, thereby realizing the movement of the drawer assembly 4 more conveniently and increasing the transmission reliability of the drive assembly 5.
[0063] For example, users can control the drive component 5 via voice or buttons to move the drawer component 4.
[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner bottom wall of the accommodating space 11 is provided with a guide base 17, which extends along a first direction. The drawer assembly 4 includes a drawer body 41 and a guide member 42. The drawer body 41 is connected to the second door 3. The guide member 42 is disposed on the bottom wall of the drawer body 41 and extends along the first direction. The guide member 42 is movably disposed on the guide base 17 along the first direction. The guide member 42 can provide guidance for the movement of the drawer assembly 4 along the first direction, making the movement of the drawer assembly 4 along the first direction more reliable.
[0065] In this embodiment, the guide member 42 is a guide rail.
[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the transmission assembly 52 includes a main winding disc 521, a pulley 522, a connecting assembly 523, and a cable assembly 524. The main winding disc 521 is located at one end of the bottom of the receiving space 11 along a first direction and is connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 51. The pulley 522 is rotatably located at the other end of the bottom of the receiving space 11 along the first direction, and the rotation axis of the pulley 522 is parallel to the rotation axis of the main winding disc 521. The connecting assembly 523 is fixedly connected to the drawer assembly 4. The cable assembly 524 is wound around the main winding disc 521 and the pulley 522 and is connected to the connecting assembly 523. It can be understood that when the first drive motor 51 is working, it drives the main winding disc 521 to rotate, which in turn drives the cable assembly 524 to move along the first direction, which in turn drives the connecting assembly 523 to move along the first direction, thereby realizing the movement of the drawer assembly 4 along the first direction. The movement of the drawer assembly 4 is relatively simple and reliable. Meanwhile, the pulley 522 and the main winding disc 521 are spaced apart along the first direction to provide a path for the cable assembly 524 to move along the first direction, and the pulley 522 can rotate appropriately to avoid excessive wear of the cable assembly 524 on the pulley 522 and to avoid affecting the service life of the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting component 523 is connected to the guide 42, and the guide 42 is connected to the drawer body 41, thereby enabling the drawer body 41 to move along the first direction.
[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting assembly 523 includes a housing connecting block 5231 and a synchronous connecting bracket 5232. The housing connecting block 5231 is used to connect with the cable assembly 524, and the synchronous connecting bracket 5232 is used to connect with the guide member 42.
[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the cable assembly 524 includes a main cable 5241 and a secondary cable 5242. The main cable 5241 is wound around the main winding reel 521 and one end is connected to the connecting assembly 523. The secondary cable 5242 is wound around the main winding reel 521 and one end passes over the pulley 522 and connects to the connecting assembly 523. The main cable 5241 and the secondary cable 5242 are wound in opposite directions on the main winding reel 521. For example, the main winding reel 521 is located at one end of the second opening 13 of the receiving space 11, the pulley 522 is located at one end of the receiving space 11 near the second opening 13, the main cable 5241 is located on the upper side, and the secondary cable 5242 is connected to the lower end of the main winding reel 521, passes over the pulley 522 from the lower side, and connects to the connecting assembly 523 after being placed on the upper side. When drawer assembly 4 is pulled out, the auxiliary pull cable 5242 pulls the connecting component 523, and the main pull cable 5241 pushes the connecting component 523 to pull out drawer assembly 4; when drawer assembly 4 is returned to its original position, the main pull cable 5241 pulls the connecting component 523, and the auxiliary pull cable 5242 pushes the connecting component 523 to return drawer assembly 4 to its original position.
[0070] The longer portions of the main cable 5241 and the auxiliary cable 5242 can be wound around the main winding reel 521 to accommodate the main cable 5241 and the auxiliary cable 5242.
[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 52 also includes two elastic tensioning members 525. Both elastic tensioning members 525 are provided on the connecting assembly 523 and are respectively connected to the main cable 5241 and the auxiliary cable 5242. This ensures that the main cable 5241 and the auxiliary cable 5242 are always in a taut state, preventing the main cable 5241 or the auxiliary cable 5242 from disengaging from the main winding reel 521 and preventing the auxiliary cable 5242 from disengaging from the pulley 522, thereby increasing the reliability of the transmission assembly 52.
[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, the drive assembly 5 further includes a second drive motor, which is disposed on the upper side wall of the housing assembly 1 and connected to the first door 2, for driving the first door 2 to open or close the first opening 12. This enables automatic movement of the first door 2, improves the user experience, and enhances the intelligence level of the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0073] For example, the first door 2 is rotatably disposed at the first opening 12, and the second drive motor is connected to the rotation shaft of the first door 2 to realize the automatic rotation of the first door 2, which can improve the user experience and enhance the intelligence level of the vehicle refrigerator 100.
[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, the vehicle refrigerator 100 further includes a controller 20, which is electrically connected to the drive assembly 5. The controller 20 is used to control the first door 2 to open or close the first opening 12 via the drive assembly 5; and / or, the controller 20 is used to control the second door 3 to open or close the second opening 13 via the drive assembly 5. The controller 20 can control the first door 2 and / or the second door 3 to prevent the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 from opening simultaneously, preventing cold air in the accommodating space 11 from flowing out from the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 at the same time, thus avoiding affecting the cold preservation effect of the vehicle refrigerator 100. In addition, when the vehicle refrigerator 100 includes a drawer assembly 4, if the first door 2 opens the first opening 12 when the second door 3 opens the second opening 13, the slide rails and other structures of the drawer assembly 4 will be exposed. Foreign objects falling into the first opening 12 may damage the vehicle refrigerator and affect the overall aesthetics of the vehicle refrigerator 100, thus affecting the user experience.
[0075] It is understandable that, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, if the controller 20 receives an opening signal from the second door 3 and the first opening 12 is in the open state, it will issue a voice prompt to remind the user. The drive assembly 5 will not be able to drive the second door 3 to move, and the second door 3 will not be able to open the second opening 13. If the first opening 12 is in the closed state, the drive assembly 5 will drive the second door 3 to move, and the second door 3 will open the second opening 13 normally. When the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, if the controller 20 receives an opening signal from the first door 2 and the second opening 13 is in the open state, the controller 20 will control the second door 3 to close the second opening 13, and the drive assembly 5 will drive the second door 3 to close the second opening 13, allowing the first door 2 to open the first opening 12. If the second opening 13 is in the closed state, the drive assembly 5 will drive the first door 2 to move, allowing the first door 2 to open the first opening 12.
[0076] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle refrigerator 100 also includes a first detection element 6 and a second detection element 7. The first detection element 6 is electrically connected to the controller 20 and is used to obtain the open or closed state of the first door 2. The second detection element 7 is electrically connected to both the drive assembly 5 and the controller 20.
[0077] It is understandable that, such as Figure 6As shown, when the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, and the controller 20 receives the opening signal of the second door 3, the second detection element 7 receives feedback from the controller 20 that the second door 3 is open. If the first detection element 6 detects that the first opening 12 is closed, the first drive motor 51 starts to work, driving the main winding disc 521 to rotate. The auxiliary cable 5242 pulls the cabinet connecting block 5231 to tighten, and at least a portion of the main cable 5241 disengages from the main winding disc 521. The connecting assembly 523 drives the guide 42 along the first... When the controller 20 receives a closing signal from the second door 3, the first drive motor 51 reverses and starts working, driving the main winding disc 521 to rotate in the opposite direction. The main pull cable 5241 pulls the connecting assembly 523 to tighten, and at least a portion of the auxiliary pull cable 5242 disengages from the main winding disc 521. The connecting assembly 523 drives the guide 42 to move in the first direction and perform a closing action, causing the drawer assembly 4 to close the second opening 13. When the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, if the controller 20 receives an opening signal from the first door 2 and the second detection element 7 detects that the second opening 13 is closed, the first door 2 can open the first opening 12.
[0078] Meanwhile, drawer assembly 4 is designed with an anti-pinch strategy to avoid problems such as pinching fingers during the closing process of drawer assembly 4, and to continue operating according to the above logic when there is no obstruction.
[0079] In this embodiment, the first detection element 6 is disposed on the side of the housing assembly 1 where the first opening 12 is provided, so as to facilitate the detection of whether the first door 2 has opened the first opening 12.
[0080] In some embodiments of this utility model, both the first detection element 6 and the second detection element 7 are Hall elements.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 20 is configured such that when the first detection element 6 detects that the first door 2 changes from closing the first opening 12 to opening the first opening 12, and the second detection element 7 detects that the second door 3 opens the second opening 13, the controller 20 controls the first drive motor 51 to drive the second door 3 to close the second opening 13.
[0082] Understandably, when a user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, and the user manually controls the first door 2 to open the first opening 12, the controller 20 receives a signal that the first door 2 has changed from closing the first opening 12 to opening the first opening 12. If the second detection element 7 detects that the second door 3 has opened the second opening 13, the first detection element 6 and the second detection element 7 achieve signal linkage, the first drive motor 51 reverses and starts working to drive the main winding disc 521 to rotate in the opposite direction, the main pull cable 5241 pulls the connecting component 523 to tighten, at least part of the auxiliary pull cable 5242 disengages from the main winding disc 521, the connecting component 523 drives the guide 42 to move in the first direction and perform a closing action, the drawer component 4 drives the second door 3 to close the second opening 13 and broadcasts a voice reminder to the user that the first door 2 can open the first opening 12.
[0083] Alternatively, when the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, the user issues a command, and the controller 20 controls the first door 2 to open the first opening 12. When the controller 20 receives a signal that the first door 2 has changed from closing the first opening 12 to opening the first opening 12, if the second detection element 7 detects that the second door 3 has opened the second opening 13, the first detection element 6 and the second detection element 7 achieve signal linkage, the first drive motor 51 reverses and starts working to drive the main winding disc 521 to rotate in the opposite direction, the main pull cable 5241 pulls the connecting component 523 to tighten, at least part of the auxiliary pull cable 5242 disengages from the main winding disc 521, the connecting component 523 drives the guide 42 to move in the first direction and perform a closing action, the drawer component 4 drives the second door 3 to close the second opening 13 and broadcasts a voice reminder to the user that the first door 2 can open the first opening 12.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 20 is configured such that when the first detection element 6 detects that the first door 2 has opened the first opening 12, and when the second detection element 7 detects that the second door 3 has closed the second opening 13, the controller 20 controls the drive assembly 5 to prevent the second door 3 from opening the second opening 13.
[0085] Understandably, when the user operates the vehicle refrigerator 100, and the controller 20 receives the opening signal of the second door 3, the second detection element 7 receives feedback from the controller 20 that the second door 3 has opened the second opening 13. If the first detection element 6 detects that the first door 2 has opened the first opening 12, the first drive motor 51 cannot receive the opening command and will not work. At this time, when the user tries to pull out the drawer assembly 4, a voice prompt will be given, and the first drive motor 51 will not work, so the second door 3 cannot open the second opening 13.
