Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle refrigerator technology, and in particular to a vehicle refrigerator and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] The upper and lower chambers of the car refrigerator are separated by a partition. When the partition is open, items can be accessed from the top of the lower chamber; when the partition is closed, it serves as a support for items placed in the upper chamber. In related technologies, the partition is rotatably mounted to the refrigerator body, with its pivot engaging with a slot in the body. The friction between the pivot and the slot wall secures the partition in a fixed position. However, this mounting method makes it difficult for users to rotate the partition, resulting in operational difficulties. Furthermore, after prolonged rotation, the partition may loosen, making it impossible to secure in the desired position and affecting its functionality. Utility Model Content

[0034] As an integral part of a vehicle, a car refrigerator provides refrigeration or freezing functions for storing or freezing food or beverages. To maximize storage space, car refrigerators typically have two compartments arranged vertically, separated by a movable partition. When the partition is open, it allows users to easily access items in the lower compartment; when closed, the partition acts as a support plate, providing support for items placed in the upper compartment.
[0035] To facilitate opening or closing the partition, in related technologies, the partition is rotatably mounted on the body of the vehicle refrigerator. The partition's pivot engages with a slot located on the body, and the friction between the pivot and the slot wall secures the partition in a set position. However, due to the high friction, it is difficult for users to rotate the partition, making operation difficult and inconvenient. Furthermore, prolonged rotation of the partition can cause it to loosen, making it impossible to secure in the set position, resulting in a short lifespan and affecting its functionality.
[0036] Therefore, referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator for use in vehicles.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the vehicle refrigerator includes a body 100, a partition 200, and a limiting component 300.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 100 is provided with a first storage cavity 110, which is used to store food or beverages. The cabinet 100 includes a top plate 120 and a side plate 130. The top plate 120 is located above the first storage cavity 110 and is provided with a retrieval opening 121. The retrieval opening 121 is the upper opening of the first storage cavity 110, and is used to put items into or take items out of the first storage cavity 110. In this embodiment, the retrieval opening 121 is approximately rectangular. The direction of the long side of the retrieval opening 121 is defined as the first direction, and the direction of the short side of the retrieval opening 121 is defined as the second direction.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side panel 130 is connected to the top panel 120 and arranged around the access port 121, with the side panel 130 connected to the edge of the access port 121. The space enclosed by the side panel 130 defines a second storage cavity 140, which is connected to the first storage cavity 110 via the access port 121. Similarly, the second storage cavity 140 can be used to store food or beverages. This increases storage space and makes it more convenient for users.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the partition 200 is installed at the opening of the first storage cavity 110, that is, the partition 200 is installed at the access port 121, and one end of the partition 200 along the second direction is rotatably installed on the side plate 130, while the other end of the partition 200 along the second direction is a free end. For example, a rotating shaft is connected between the partition 200 and the side plate 130, and the rotating shaft and the side plate 130 or the partition 200 are clearance-fitted, so that the partition 200 rotates smoothly, making it easy for the user to open or close the partition 200, which is convenient for operation and has a long service life.
[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that in this embodiment, the vehicle refrigerator also includes a connecting assembly 400, which includes a shaft portion 410 and a second elastic member 420. The second elastic member 420 may be a coil spring, a gas spring, a rubber spring, etc. Specifically, a second mounting hole 220 is provided on one side of the rotating end of the partition 200 along a first direction. The opening of the second mounting hole 220 faces the side plate 130 along the first direction. The second elastic member 420 is accommodated within the second mounting hole 220. One end of the shaft portion 410 is inserted into the second mounting hole 220 and located at the end of the second elastic member 420 facing the opening of the second mounting hole 220. The shaft portion 410 can extend and retract within the second mounting hole 220. It is easily understood that applying a force along the first direction towards the partition 200 to the shaft portion 410 can cause the shaft portion 410 to retract towards the partition 200. Removing the external force allows the shaft portion 410 to extend relative to the partition 200 under the elastic force of the second elastic member 420. Correspondingly, the side plate 130 is provided with a shaft hole 133, and the other end of the shaft 410 is inserted into the shaft hole 133 and rotates with the side plate 130. Generally speaking, the shaft 410 and the shaft hole 133 are clearance fit.
[0042] Therefore, when installing the partition 200, the shaft 410 is pressed into the second mounting hole 220, aligning the shaft 410 with the shaft hole 133. Then, the force applied to the shaft 410 is removed. Under the elastic force of the second elastic element 420, the shaft 410 extends relative to the partition 200 and inserts into the shaft hole 133, allowing the partition 200 to be rotatably mounted on the side plate 130. This operation is convenient. It is easy to understand that this installation method is used on both sides of the partition 200 along the first direction. When disassembling the partition 200, the shaft 410 is pressed into the second mounting hole 220 to remove the partition 200, making disassembly and assembly convenient. Furthermore, since the partition 200 is typically a consumable part, this installation method ensures good maintainability and simplifies disassembly and assembly.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, there are two partitions 200 arranged side-by-side along the second direction, with their opposite ends rotatably mounted on the side panel 130, forming a double-door structure. The user can selectively open one partition 200 or both partitions 200 simultaneously. When one partition 200 is opened, items can be stored in the first storage cavity 110, while the other partition 200 can hold items placed in the second storage cavity 140. When both partitions 200 are opened simultaneously, the access opening 121 is larger, facilitating easy access to items in the first storage cavity 110. Therefore, the two partitions 200 can adapt to different usage scenarios and have good applicability.
[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the two partitions 200 are respectively provided with grooves 230 on opposite sides along the second direction, so that the user can put his / her hand into the grooves 230 to grasp the partitions 200, thereby making it easy to open or close the partitions 200.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that, generally speaking, the air outlet of the vehicle refrigerator's refrigeration system faces the first storage cavity 110, meaning that cold air flows through the air outlet to the first storage cavity 110 to meet the cooling needs of the first storage cavity 110. The two partitions 200 are each provided with multiple vent holes 240. When the partitions 200 are closed, the vent holes 240 allow the second storage cavity 140 to connect with the first storage cavity 110, thus allowing cold air to flow from the first storage cavity 110 through the vent holes 240 to the second storage cavity 140 to meet the cooling needs of the second storage cavity 140.
[0046] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that by separating the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 140 with a partition 200, food or beverages can be categorized and stored in the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 140 for easy use. Furthermore, the temperatures of the first storage cavity 110 and the second storage cavity 140 can be set to different temperatures to meet different refrigeration or freezing needs.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the inner wall of the side panel 130 is provided with a first limiting part 131, which is located at the edge of the pick-up and put-out port 121 and on one side of the pick-up and put-out port 121 along the first direction. Correspondingly, the limiting component 300 is installed at the other end of the partition 200 along the second direction and is located on one side of the partition 200 along the first direction. The limiting component 300 and the first limiting part 131 are located on the same side of the pick-up and put-out port 121 along the first direction, so that the limiting component 300 and the first limiting part 131 are arranged correspondingly in the first direction. The first limiting part 131 is located on the movement trajectory of the limiting component 300 as the partition 200 rotates.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the limiting assembly 300 includes a second limiting portion 310 and a first elastic member 320. Specifically, the first elastic member 320 can be a coil spring, a gas spring, a rubber spring, etc., and the elastic force direction of the first elastic member 320 is parallel to the first direction. The first elastic member 320 is connected between the second limiting portion 310 and the partition 200, that is, in the first direction, the second limiting portion 310 is located at the end of the first elastic member 320 away from the partition 200.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the first elastic member 320 is configured to be compressible under the action of an external force, and the first elastic member 320 can automatically return to its original state after the external force is removed. The second limiting part 310 is configured to extend and retract relative to the partition 200 along the elastic direction of the first elastic member 320. Specifically, in the first direction, applying a force toward the partition 200 to the second limiting part 310 can drive the second limiting part 310 to retract toward the partition 200, and the first elastic member 320 is compressed; after the force on the second limiting part 310 is removed, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, the first elastic member 320 drives the second limiting part 310 to extend away from the partition 200.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that since the first limiting part 131 is located at the edge of the take-up and put-out port 121, when the partition 200 rotates to the position where the take-up and put-out port 121 is closed, the second limiting part 310 engages with the first limiting part 131. The engagement of the second limiting part 310 with the first limiting part 131 can be understood as the second limiting part 310 and the first limiting part 131 mutually constraining each other in a direction perpendicular to the first direction without the application of external force. For example, the second limiting part 310 and the first limiting part 131 can be two mutually attracted ferromagnets, or a combination of a magnet and iron, or a combination of a socket and a pin, etc.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that when the partition 200 is in the closed access port 121 position, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, the second limiting part 310 and the first limiting part 131 maintain a limiting fit, thereby making the partition 200 stably fixed in the closed access port 121 position, so that the partition 200 can provide stable support for the items placed in the second storage cavity 140 and realize the closure of the access port 121.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that during the process of rotating the partition 200 to the position where the retrieval port 121 is closed, the second limiting part 310 can first retract towards the partition 200. After the partition 200 reaches the position where the retrieval port 121 is closed, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, the second limiting part 310 extends relative to the partition 200 and engages with the first limiting part 131. When it is necessary to open the partition 200, the second limiting part 310 is driven to compress the first elastic member 320 and retract towards the partition 200, causing the second limiting part 310 to disengage from the first limiting part 131. Then, the partition 200 can be rotated upward to open the partition 200, thereby enabling the storage and retrieval of items in the first storage cavity 110, which is convenient to operate.
[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that a limiting component 300 is also installed on the other side of the partition 200 along the first direction. Correspondingly, a first limiting part 131 is provided on the inner wall of the side plate 130 along the other side of the first direction. Further details are omitted here. Therefore, when the partition 200 is in the closed position of the access port 121, both sides of the partition 200 along the first direction are in a limiting engagement with the side plate 130, thereby improving the connection stability of the partition 200 and providing stable support for items placed in the second storage cavity 140.
[0054] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the inner walls of both sides of the side plate 130 along the first direction are respectively provided with third limiting portions 132, which are located above the rotation axis of the partition 200. Furthermore, the third limiting portions 132 are located on the movement trajectory of the second limiting portion 310 as the partition 200 rotates. It is easy to understand that the third limiting portion 132 is arranged at an interval from the first limiting portion 131. The structure of the third limiting portion 132 is the same as the structure of the first limiting portion 131.
[0055] Reference Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that when the partition 200 rotates to the position where the access port 121 is open, the third limiting part 132 and the second limiting part 310 engage in a limiting fit. It is easy to understand that when the partition 200 rotates from the position where the access port 121 is closed to the position where the access port 121 is open, the partition 200 rotates upwards by approximately 90°. Similarly, the limiting fit between the third limiting part 132 and the second limiting part 310 can be understood as the second limiting part 310 and the first limiting part 131 mutually constraining each other in a direction perpendicular to the first direction without the application of external force. For example, the second limiting part 310 and the third limiting part 132 can be two mutually attracted ferromagnets, or a combination of a magnet and iron, or a combination of a socket and a pin, etc.
[0056] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that when the partition 200 is in the position of the open access port 121, the second limiting part 310 and the third limiting part 132 maintain a limiting fit under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, thereby making the partition 200 stably fixed in the position of the open access port 121, realizing the opening of the access port 121, and facilitating the storage and retrieval of items in the first storage cavity 110 for a long time.
[0057] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that, similarly, during the process of rotating the partition 200 to the position of opening the access port 121, the second limiting part 310 can first retract towards the partition 200. After the partition 200 reaches the position of opening the access port 121, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, the second limiting part 310 extends relative to the partition 200 and engages with the third limiting part 132. When it is necessary to close the partition 200, the second limiting part 310 is driven to compress the first elastic member 320 and retract towards the partition 200, causing the second limiting part 310 to disengage from the partition 200, and then the partition 200 can be rotated downwards, making the operation convenient.
[0058] It is understood that in some embodiments, multiple limiting portions may be provided on the inner walls of both sides of the side plate 130 along the first direction, and the multiple limiting portions on the same side are arranged at intervals along the movement trajectory of the second limiting portion 310 as the partition 200 rotates. The structure of the limiting portion here is the same as the structure of the first limiting portion 131, and the limiting portion here cooperates with the second limiting portion 310. Therefore, the partition 200 can be stably fixed at the positions corresponding to the multiple limiting portions, so that the partition 200 is in different opening positions, which has good applicability.
[0059] Reference Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, both the first limiting part 131 and the third limiting part 132 are configured as insertion holes, with the openings of the insertion holes facing the partition 200 in the first direction. Correspondingly, the second limiting part 310 is configured as a pin that engages with the insertion hole, and the pin can extend and retract relative to the partition 200 in the first direction. Therefore, when the partition 200 is in a fixed state, for example, when the partition 200 is fixed in the position where the access port 121 is closed, the pin can be inserted into the first limiting part 131 configured as an insertion hole; for example, when the partition 200 is fixed in the position where the access port 121 is open, the pin can be inserted into the third limiting part 132 configured as an insertion hole. When it is necessary to rotate the partition 200, a force is applied to the pin in the first direction toward the partition 200, causing the pin to disengage from the first limiting part 131 or the third limiting part 132.
[0060] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that a first guide surface 311 is provided at the end of the pin facing away from the partition 200, and correspondingly, the wall of the insertion hole includes a second guide surface. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface are respectively configured as hemispherical surfaces, that is, the first guide surface 311 is a hemispherical surface protruding in the direction away from the partition 200 along the first direction, and the second guide surface is a hemispherical surface recessed into the insertion hole. The first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface guide each other. Specifically, during the process of the partition 200 rotating to the position of closing the access port 121 or opening the access port 121, sufficient force is applied to the partition 200 along the rotation direction of the partition 200. Under the guiding action of the first guide surface 311, the pin can be guided to retract into the partition 200 until the pin is aligned with the insertion hole. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 320, the pin extends relative to the partition 200 and is inserted into the insertion hole, thereby fixing the partition 200. Since the second guide surface is a hemispherical surface, the insertion depth of the pin into the insertion hole is large enough. When the partition 200 is in the position of closing the take-out port 121, the connection stability between the partition 200 and the side plate 130 is good, which can ensure that the partition 200 provides stable support for the items placed in the second storage cavity 140.
[0061] When it is necessary to rotate the partition 200, sufficient force is applied to the partition 200 in the direction of rotation. Under the guidance of the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface, the pin is guided to retract into the partition 200 until it disengages from the insertion hole, allowing the partition 200 to rotate freely. It is easy to understand that whether fixing or rotating the partition 200, the user does not need to directly operate the pin to retract it, making operation convenient and user-friendly.
[0062] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface can be inclined or curved surfaces, wherein the second guide surfaces at the first limiting part 131 and the third limiting part 132 are respectively located on opposite sides of the movement trajectory along the second limiting part 310 as it rotates with the partition 200, which will not be described in detail here.
[0063] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the second limiting part 310 may be a steel ball, i.e., a steel ball with a hemispherical surface, which will not be described in detail here.
[0064] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first limiting part 131 and the third limiting part 132 are configured as the first magnet, and correspondingly, the second limiting part 310 is configured as the second magnet attracted to the first magnet. It is readily understood that the first magnet and the second magnet are of opposite poles. Therefore, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet allows the partition 200 to be stably fixed in the position where the access port 121 is open or closed. When it is necessary to rotate the partition 200, sufficient force is applied to the partition 200 along the rotation direction to separate the first magnet and the second magnet, allowing the partition 200 to rotate freely, making operation convenient.
[0065] It is understood that in some embodiments, the first limiting portion 131 and the third limiting portion 132 are both configured as one of a third magnet and a ferromagnetic element, and the second limiting portion 310 is configured as the other of a third magnet and a ferromagnetic element. For example, the first limiting portion 131 and the third limiting portion 132 are both third magnets, and the second limiting portion 310 is a ferromagnetic element. Alternatively, the first limiting portion 131 and the third limiting portion 132 are both ferromagnetic elements, and the second limiting portion 310 is a third magnet. It is readily understood that the ferromagnetic element can be attracted by a magnet, that is, the ferromagnetic element can be attracted by the third magnet. The ferromagnetic element can be iron, cobalt, nickel, and their alloys and some oxides. Similarly, the magnetic attraction between the third magnet and the ferromagnetic element can stably fix the partition 200 in the position where the access port 121 is open or closed. When it is necessary to rotate the partition 200, apply sufficient force to the partition 200 in the direction of rotation of the partition 200 to separate the third magnet from the ferromagnetic component, and then the partition 200 can be rotated freely, which is convenient to operate.
[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the partition 200 is provided with a first mounting hole 210, the opening of which faces the side plate 130 in a first direction. A first elastic member 320 is accommodated within the first mounting hole 210, and a second limiting portion 310 is located at one end of the first elastic member 320 facing the opening of the first mounting hole 210, and the second limiting portion 310 is movably disposed in the first mounting hole 210 in the first direction. This ensures that the limiting assembly 300 is securely mounted on the partition 200. It is easy to understand that regardless of whether the partition 200 is in the closed or open position of the access port 121, or during rotation, a portion of the structure of the second limiting part 310 is located within the first mounting hole 210. This can be achieved by increasing the length of the first mounting hole 210, or by providing a limiting structure between the second limiting part 310 and the partition 200 to prevent the second limiting part 310 from detaching from the partition 200, or by fixing both ends of the first elastic member 320 to the bottom wall of the second limiting part 310 and the first mounting hole 210, respectively. Therefore, when the partition 200 is in the closed position of the access port 121, the partial structure of the second limiting part 310 located within the first mounting hole 210 provides stable support for the partition 200, thereby providing stable support for the items placed in the second storage cavity 140.
[0067] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that a positioning part 312 is provided at one end of the second limiting part 310 facing the first elastic member 320. The positioning part 312 has a columnar structure. The first elastic member 320 is a helical spring and is sleeved on the positioning part 312, thereby positioning the first elastic member 320 in the second limiting part 310, preventing the first elastic member 320 from shifting and failing, and improving reliability.
[0068] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the outer peripheral wall of the positioning part 312 is also provided with a snap-fit part 313, which protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the positioning part 312. The spring wire at the end of the coil spring is snapped into the snap-fit part 313, thereby fixing the second limiting part 310 and the first elastic member 320 to each other. During installation, the second limiting part 310 and the first elastic member 320 can be connected as a whole firstly, and then the entire second limiting part 310 and the first elastic member 320 can be installed into the first mounting hole 210 for easy assembly.
