Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a vehicle-mounted refrigerator and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for storage of items while using vehicles is increasing. Car refrigerators are an important component in vehicles, used to preserve food and other items. However, most existing car refrigerators are single-unit units, which cannot be flexibly adjusted to adapt to diverse storage needs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, this application provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator and a vehicle to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.
[0004] This application provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, comprising:
[0005] The body includes a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity;
[0006] The isolator is connected to the body. When the isolator is in the closed state, it can isolate the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity. The isolator can also move relative to the body to the open state so that the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity can communicate with each other.
[0007] The vehicle refrigerator provided in this application includes a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity. When the first and second receiving cavities are separated by a separator, they are two independent cavities that can be used to store different types of items, such as food or medicine that require specific temperature or odor control. When the separator is opened, the first and second receiving cavities are connected, allowing the user to freely access items in both cavities. This makes the vehicle refrigerator suitable for diverse storage needs.
[0008] As one possible implementation, one of the body and the spacer is connected to a rotating shaft, and the other is provided with a mounting hole; the rotating shaft cooperates with the mounting hole to allow the spacer to rotate relative to the body so as to connect the first receiving cavity and the second receiving cavity.
[0009] In the above scheme, a rotating shaft is set to achieve a rotational connection between the isolator and the main body. When the user operates, the isolator can be pushed or pulled to make it rotate relative to the main body, thereby opening or closing.
[0010] As one possible implementation, a damping element can be installed between the hinge and the body to provide a better user experience when opening or closing the isolation element.
[0011] As one possible implementation, the separator includes a main body and a magnetic member; the magnetic member is connected to the outside of the main body, or the magnetic member is embedded inside the main body, and the magnetic member is used to magnetically fix it to the main body.
[0012] In the above solution, the isolator includes a magnetic component. When the isolator is closed, the magnetic component can be magnetically attached to the main body. When it is necessary to open the isolator, pushing or pulling the isolator will detach the magnetic component from the main body. This structure is simple and reliable, and the isolator will not open when the vehicle experiences bumps.
[0013] As one possible implementation, the vehicle refrigerator also includes: a seal, which is connected to an isolation element, or the seal is connected to the body.
[0014] In the above scheme, when the isolation element is closed, the sealing element is squeezed between the isolation element and the body, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0015] As a specific implementation method, the seal is a sealing strip.
[0016] As one possible implementation, the seal is positioned circumferentially on the outside of the isolator.
[0017] In the above scheme, the sealing element can be arranged circumferentially along the isolator to improve the sealing effect between the isolator and the body.
[0018] As one possible implementation, the volume of the first receiving cavity is smaller than the volume of the second receiving cavity.
[0019] In the above solution, by setting the volume of the first receiving cavity to be smaller than that of the second receiving cavity, the two cavities can be used for different functions. Moreover, when taking or placing items, the user's arm can pass through the larger second receiving cavity to retrieve or place items in the smaller first receiving cavity, making the operation more convenient.
[0020] As one possible implementation, along the height direction of the vehicle, the bottom of the first receiving cavity is higher than the bottom of the second receiving cavity; the body forms a stepped portion corresponding to the position of the bottom of the first receiving cavity and the bottom of the second receiving cavity.
[0021] In the above solution, in this embodiment, by setting the bottom of the first receiving cavity higher than the bottom of the second receiving cavity, two cavities with different volumes are formed to suit the storage needs of different items, thus making reasonable and effective use of the space inside the vehicle refrigerator. Moreover, in the corresponding position below the second step, some arrangement space can be saved, which is conducive to the compactness of the vehicle component layout.
[0022] As one possible implementation, the spacer is equipped with a handle for opening it. Specifically, the user can first pass through the second receiving cavity and then pull the handle to open the spacer, at which point they can retrieve or place items located in the first receiving cavity.
[0023] As one possible implementation, the second receiving cavity has an opening, and the vehicle refrigerator also includes a door panel connected to the body for opening or closing the opening.
[0024] In the above solution, after opening the door panel, the user can access items in the second receiving cavity located on the outer side. If it is necessary to access items in the first receiving cavity located on the inner side, the partition can be opened to access the items in the first receiving cavity.
[0025] This application also provides a vehicle, wherein the vehicle-mounted refrigerator includes any of the above-mentioned features.
[0026] Since the vehicle-mounted refrigerator has the aforementioned technical effects, the vehicle itself should also have the corresponding technical effects, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0027] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0045] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0046] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0047] Most existing car refrigerators are single-unit storage systems, which have several shortcomings. Firstly, different items have varying height and width requirements for storage space, and a single unit cannot flexibly adapt to diverse needs. For example, when storing taller bottled beverages, the shorter storage space cannot be fully utilized. Conversely, storing thinner foods results in wasted space. Secondly, the storage space of car refrigerators is not sufficiently categorized for storing items, easily leading to problems such as items being squeezed together and cross-contamination of odors, affecting food preservation and the user experience.
[0048] like Figure 1The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle refrigerator provided in this embodiment, cut along the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the vertical direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the ground when the vehicle is on a horizontal surface. The vehicle refrigerator 100 includes a body 1 for storing items. The vehicle refrigerator 100 may also include a door panel 3 connected to the body 1. The body 1 has an opening, and the door panel 3 is positioned at the opening. Items stored in the body 1 can be accessed or removed by opening the door panel 3 through the opening.
[0049] The vehicle refrigerator 100 also includes an isolation member 2, and the main body 1 includes a first receiving cavity 11 and a second receiving cavity 12. The isolation member 2 is connected to the main body 1. When closed, the isolation member 2 can isolate the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12, and the isolation member 2 can also move relative to the main body 1 to an open state, so that the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 communicate. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the isolation member 2 is in the closed state, at which time the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 are isolated from each other.
[0050] The vehicle refrigerator provided in this application embodiment can achieve partitioned storage of various items. For example, if medications requiring specific temperatures are stored together with unclean or bacteria-carrying items, the medications may become contaminated. In this case, the medications can be placed in the first and second storage cavities, respectively. Similarly, if topical medications are stored with contaminants, microorganisms may enter the medicine bottle and cause the medication to spoil. In this case, the topical medications can also be placed separately from other items.
[0051] For food, storing raw ingredients separately from cooked foods can prevent bacteria and parasites from raw foods from contaminating cooked foods, reducing safety risks. Storing strongly scented foods like onions and durians separately from easily absorbing odors like bread and milk can effectively prevent cross-contamination of flavors and preserve the individual characteristics of each food.
[0052] When the separator 2 is in the open state, the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 are connected, allowing items to be placed or removed from the first receiving cavity 11 located on the inner side. As one possible implementation, the second receiving cavity 12 can also be located on the inner side, without specific limitations here.
[0053] It should be noted that, Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the vehicle refrigerator 100 is in the state when the vehicle is on a level surface. Figure 1 In this context, the Z-direction represents the vehicle's height, and the X-direction represents the vehicle's front-to-back direction. Relative to the door panel 3, the first receiving cavity 11 is located inside the second receiving cavity 12. After opening the door panel 3, the user can directly access items in the second receiving cavity 12, or they can open the partition 2 before accessing items in the first receiving cavity 11.
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The image shows a cross-sectional view of the vehicle refrigerator provided in this application embodiment, with the Y direction representing the width of the vehicle. In one specific implementation, the isolator 2 is connected to a rotating shaft 4, and the body 1 has a mounting hole. The rotating shaft 4 engages with the mounting hole, allowing the isolator 2 to rotate relative to the body 1, thereby connecting the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12.
[0055] In other embodiments, the body 1 may be connected to a rotating shaft, and the isolation member 2 may be provided with a mounting hole. The rotating shaft cooperates with the mounting hole so that the isolation member 2 can rotate relative to the body 1 to communicate with the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12.
[0056] The rotational connection between the isolator 2 and the main body 1 is achieved by setting the pivot 4. When the user operates, the isolator 2 can be pushed or pulled to rotate relative to the main body 1, thereby opening or closing.
[0057] As one possible implementation, a damping element can be provided between the pivot 4 and the body 1, thereby improving the user experience when opening or closing the isolation element.
[0058] In other embodiments, the isolator 2 can also be closed in other ways, such as by setting a hinge structure or a torsion spring structure between the isolator 2 and the body 1, as long as the isolator can be opened and closed.
[0059] like Figure 3 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the structure of the separator in a vehicle refrigerator according to an embodiment of this application. In one specific implementation, the separator 2 includes a main body and a magnetic member 25. The main body can be an integrally formed structure or a split structure. In this embodiment, the main body includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22, which are interlocked. The magnetic member 25 can be connected to the outside of the main body, or it can be embedded inside the main body, used for magnetic fixation to the main body. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the magnetic member 25 is embedded in the second housing 22. In other embodiments, the magnetic member 25 may also be embedded in the first housing.
[0060] By configuring the main body as a separate first shell 21 and second shell 22, the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can be injection molded separately, and then the magnetic chuck 25 and other components can be installed, making the manufacturing process of the separator 2 simpler. In one embodiment, during the injection molding process of the second shell 22, a slot is directly formed, and the magnetic chuck 25 is locked in the slot to fix the magnetic chuck 25.
[0061] It is understandable that the magnetic suction element 25 can be located on the top of the isolator 2, that is, in the height direction Z, the isolator 2 is fixed to the body 1 by the magnetic suction element 25. Of course, the magnetic suction element 25 can also be located in other positions of the isolator 2, as long as it cooperates with the body 1.
[0062] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific implementation, a first step portion 13 is formed on the body 1. The first step portion 13 is used to limit the isolation member 2 when it is in the closed state. Specifically, the first step portion 13 protrudes into the body 1 in the height direction Z so as to block the isolation member 2 when it is closed.
[0063] The magnetic attractor 25 can be located on one side of the second housing 22 and close to the top of the second housing 22, so that it can cooperate with the first step portion 13. When the isolator 2 is closed, the magnetic attraction force is greater, and even if the vehicle is in a relatively bumpy state, the isolator 2 will not open due to the shaking of the vehicle.
[0064] In one possible implementation, the vehicle refrigerator 100 further includes a seal (not shown) connected to the separator 2, or the seal is connected to the body 1. When the separator 2 is closed, the seal improves the sealing between the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12, preventing cross-contamination of odors between the items in the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12.
[0065] For example, the sealant can be a sealing strip, which can be disposed circumferentially on the outside of the spacer 2. When the spacer 2 is closed, the sealant is pressed between the spacer 2 and the body 1, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0066] In one specific embodiment, the volume of the first receiving cavity 11 is smaller than the volume of the second receiving cavity 12. In this embodiment, by setting the volume of the first receiving cavity 11 to be smaller than the volume of the second receiving cavity 12, the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 can be used for different functions. Moreover, when taking or placing items, the user's arm can pass through the larger second receiving cavity 12 to take or place items in the smaller first receiving cavity 11, making the operation more convenient.
[0067] Specifically, the first receiving cavity 11 can be used to store medicines, such as insulin. Unopened insulin should be stored at a temperature of 2-8℃, as insulin is a protein hormone, and excessively high temperatures can denature the protein, reducing its biological activity and weakening its hypoglycemic effect. It can also be used to store traditional Chinese medicine decoctions prepared in hospitals. These decoctions are usually vacuum-packed and can be stored for 7-14 days at 0℃-5℃. If the temperature exceeds this range, especially in high-temperature environments, the rate of microbial growth will accelerate, potentially causing the decoction to spoil and develop off-odors, sediment, discoloration, etc.
[0068] The first compartment 11 can also store food items such as chocolate. The ideal storage temperature for chocolate is generally 15℃-20℃. Excessive temperature can cause the chocolate to melt, deform, and develop sugar bloom or oil separation, affecting its taste and quality. It can also be used to store probiotic foods, such as yogurt and probiotic supplements, which typically need to be stored at a low temperature of 2℃-10℃ to maintain the activity of the probiotics. The first compartment can also be used to store items such as cigars that require specific storage temperatures.
[0069] The second chamber 12 has a larger volume and can be used to store champagne or other beverages. Champagne bottles are generally Φ70.6×243.5-Φ882×300 mm in size, and the typical storage temperature is between 7-12℃. Exceeding the storage temperature will cause problems such as deterioration of aroma and taste, and accelerated aging. It can also store some larger-volume beverages, such as 555ml, 500ml, or 330ml bottles of drinking water.
[0070] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Optionally, along the vehicle's height direction Z, the bottom of the first receiving cavity 11 is higher than the bottom of the second receiving cavity 12, and the body 1 forms a second step 14 corresponding to the positions of the bottoms of the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12. In related technologies, when storing taller bottled beverages, the lower space cannot be fully utilized, while placing thinner food items results in wasted space. In this embodiment, by setting the bottom of the first receiving cavity 11 to be higher than the bottom of the second receiving cavity 12, two cavities with different volumes are formed to suit the storage needs of different items, making reasonable and effective use of the space inside the vehicle refrigerator. Moreover, the corresponding position below the second step 14 can save some layout space, which is beneficial to the compactness of the vehicle component layout.
[0071] Reference Figure 3The isolator 2 is provided with a handle 23 for opening the isolator 2. A certain space is formed below the handle 23. By reaching into this space and pulling the handle 23, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic member 24 and the main body 1 can be released, thereby opening the isolator 2. At this time, items stored in the first receiving cavity 11 can be placed or removed. The handle 23 can be formed on the isolator 2 by integral injection molding, or it can be a separate component installed on the isolator 2. No limitation is made here.
[0072] like Figure 4 The image shown is a schematic diagram of an isolation component in a vehicle-mounted refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application, taken at one angle. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the handle 23 is attached to the first housing 21 as a separate component. In this embodiment, the first housing 21 faces outward, i.e., towards the user.
[0073] like Figure 5 The image shown is a schematic diagram of the insulating component in a vehicle-mounted refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application from another angle. Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the isolation member 2 further includes a buffer member 24, which is installed on the second housing 22. In this embodiment, the second housing 22 faces inward, that is, it is the side away from the user relative to the first housing 21.
[0074] When the isolator 2 is closed, the second housing 22 faces the first step portion 13 and can abut against the first step portion 13. The buffer 24 can prevent the isolator 2 from making hard contact with the first step portion 13, thus playing a buffering role and protecting the isolator 2.
[0075] In order to ensure the space of the first receiving cavity 11, the size of the first step portion 13 is not too large. Accordingly, a buffer member 24 can be set at the upper position of the second housing 22 so as to cooperate with the first step portion 13.
[0076] Figure 6 This is a front view of the separator in the vehicle refrigerator provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 Sectional view along line AA in the middle, Figure 8 for Figure 6 BB-direction sectional view.
[0077] like Figures 6 to 8As shown, both the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be injection molded parts. The first housing 21 and the second housing 22 are injection molded separately and then fastened together. The handle 23 can also be an injection molded part, connected to the first housing 21 by screws 26. The buffer 24 can be a fastener such as a screw or bolt, directly installed on the second housing 22 by threaded connection. A rubber pad can be attached to the head of the screw or bolt to provide a buffering effect when the isolator 2 closes and abuts against the first step 13.
[0078] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The main body 1 has an opening (not shown) through which items can be placed or removed. Specifically, the opening can be located in the second receiving cavity 12, that is, the second receiving cavity 12 has an opening, and the door panel 3 is connected to the main body for opening or closing the opening. When placing or removing items, the user's arm can pass through the larger second receiving cavity 12 and then open the separator 2 to place or remove items in the smaller first receiving cavity 11, resulting in a better user experience.
[0079] This application also provides a vehicle, including the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 provided in any embodiment of this application. The vehicle provided in this application has the advantages of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator 100 described above, and can meet diverse storage needs.
[0080] In summary, this system allows users to separate items requiring temperature control into different spaces while using the vehicle, preserving the original condition of items or food as much as possible. It also allows for the separate placement of items of different heights or sizes, keeping the interior of the car refrigerator organized and preventing items from piling up during driving.
[0081] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to mutually. In particular, the device embodiments and terminal embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description in the method embodiments.
[0082] The above descriptions are merely specific implementations of the embodiments of this application, but the protection scope of the embodiments of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
