Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to a refrigerator in the front cabin armrest. Background Technology

[0002] In the current automotive market, especially in high-end business models like the Toyota Vellfire, the design of the front cabin armrest primarily focuses on basic storage functions, such as storing documents and small personal items. Some models may also integrate basic USB charging ports. However, as consumers' demands for in-car comfort and quality of life increase, the traditional armrest's functionality is no longer sufficient to meet diverse needs. Particularly during long journeys or business receptions, the demand for refrigerated drinks and food is growing, a function that the original armrest clearly cannot provide.

[0003] Existing in-vehicle refrigerator solutions mainly include freestanding refrigerators, retrofitted refrigerators, and portable refrigeration devices. Freestanding refrigerators require additional interior space, such as being placed in the gap between rear seats or in the trunk, which not only affects passenger comfort but also detracts from the overall aesthetics of the commercial vehicle's interior. Retrofitted refrigerators, while achieving integration with the vehicle, are typically expensive and require modifications to the original vehicle structure, posing electrical safety hazards. Portable refrigeration devices rely on the cigarette lighter for power, have small capacity and low cooling efficiency, and cannot be perfectly integrated into the armrest box, affecting both the vehicle's aesthetics and convenience.

[0004] Therefore, developing a front cabin armrest refrigerator that does not take up extra space, can be perfectly integrated with the original car interior, and has a high-efficiency cooling function has become an urgent need in current automotive interior design. Utility Model Content

The end of the door cover 4 away from the bearing 3 is limited by a movable latch, and a button for opening the movable latch is provided at a corresponding position on the top of the cabinet 1.

[0025] The bottoms of the cooling fan 11 and the compressor 14 are both fixed to the top of the bottom mounting bracket 9. A control plate 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the auxiliary mounting plate 6 near the compressor 14. Multiple condenser pipes 13 are evenly and fixedly connected through the side wall of the condenser 12. A return pipe 15 is evenly and fixedly connected through the output end of the condenser 12.

A refrigeration controller 17 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the bottom mounting bracket 9. An inclined surface 5 is provided on the top side wall of the housing 1 near the auxiliary mounting plate 6.

[0026] The top surface of the refrigerator body 1 is equipped with a frame 2, which consists of a flip cover and a cover base. The control panel is integrated on the cover base and is electrically connected to the internal circuit board. The cover base is also equipped with a push-button switch with two-level adjustment function to switch between weak cooling and strong cooling operation modes.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 of the front cabin armrest refrigerator adopts the original center armrest cabinet 1 design of the Toyota Vellfire. The refrigeration module includes a refrigeration compressor 14, a condenser heat dissipation component, and a circuit control system for controlling its operation. A frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1, and a bearing 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 2. A door cover 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the bearing 3, and the door cover 4 is engaged with the top of the cabinet 1 to achieve sealed refrigeration.

[0028] In terms of circuit integration, this embodiment draws power from the original vehicle's reserved interface, adds an independent control panel with internal circuit board electrical connection, and also has a push-button switch on the cover with two-level adjustment function to switch between weak cooling and strong cooling operation modes.

[0029] During installation, the refrigerator base is mounted using the original screw holes in the vehicle's armrest box, ensuring the refrigerator is stable and reliable. The wiring harness is concealed through the original vehicle's wiring channels, maintaining a neat and aesthetically pleasing interior. Furthermore, the bottom mounting bracket 9 has mounting ears 10 on both sides, facilitating the secure mounting of the entire refrigerator to the vehicle and preventing shaking during driving.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The front armrest refrigerator's working principle is mainly based on a compression refrigeration cycle. When the user connects the power and sets the desired temperature, the refrigeration compressor 14 starts working, compressing the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas, which is then sent to the condenser 12 for heat dissipation and cooling, becoming a high-temperature, high-pressure liquid. The condenser 12 dissipates heat to the external environment through the cooling fan 11 and the condenser pipe 13. The cooled high-pressure liquid is throttled and depressurized through a throttling device (such as an expansion valve), becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid, which enters the evaporator to absorb heat and evaporate into gas, thereby achieving a refrigeration effect. The air around the evaporator is cooled to form cold air, which is sent into the storage cavity through the return air pipe 15 to refrigerate the stored items. At the same time, the intelligent temperature control system monitors the temperature in the storage cavity in real time and automatically adjusts the working state of the compressor 14 according to the set value to maintain a constant refrigeration temperature.
