[0038] During operation, frost will form on the surface of the evaporator of a car refrigerator. This frost is melted by heating or other methods to prevent it from interfering with the evaporator's normal operation. The defrost water produced after the frost melts also needs to be drained from the outside of the car promptly to prevent excessive accumulation, which could affect the refrigerator's normal operation and promote bacterial growth. Similarly, the surface of the fan inside the car refrigerator that blows cold air into the storage space may also frost; the defrost water produced after this also needs to be drained.

[0039] In related technologies, vehicle refrigerators are additionally equipped with a drip tray containing heating elements such as heating wires or heating rods. Defrost water, produced after frost melts, is drained into the drip tray, and the heating elements then evaporate the water, thus cleaning it up. However, this method of handling defrost water is relatively complex, requires a large amount of materials, and is costly.

[0040] Therefore, referring to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides a vehicle-mounted refrigerator for use in vehicles.

[0041] Reference Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator includes a housing 100, a mounting base 200, and a compressor 300. Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator also includes at least a condenser 500, an evaporator 600, and a first fan 400. In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator employs an air-cooled refrigeration system, and also includes a second fan 700.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that, specifically, the cabinet 100 includes an inner liner 110, which has a storage cavity 114, an air duct cavity 115, and an air outlet 116 and an air return vent 117 connecting the storage cavity 114 and the air duct cavity 115. The air outlet 116 is located above the air return vent 117, and the storage cavity 114 is located in front of the air duct cavity 115. Typically, the storage cavity 114 includes a refrigeration space or a freezing space, or both, and is used to store food, beverages, etc., requiring refrigeration or freezing. The evaporator 600 and the second fan 700 are both located within the air duct cavity 115 and positioned vertically near the air outlet 116. The second fan 700 is located on the side of the evaporator 600 near the air outlet 116, with its air inlet side facing the evaporator 600 and its air outlet side facing the air outlet 116. A water collection tank 112 is provided on the wall of the air duct cavity 115, located below the evaporator 600 and used to collect defrost water dripping from the evaporator 600. A drain outlet 113 is provided on the bottom wall of the water collection tank 112 to drain the defrost water from the water collection tank 112. The air inlet and air outlet sides of the second fan 700 are opposite sides of the second fan 700 along its rotation axis. Of course, when the surface of the second fan 700 also frosts, the defrost water produced after the frost melts is also collected in the water collection tank 112.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the condenser 500, compressor 300, and first fan 400 are all located outside the air duct cavity 115. Specifically, the condenser 500, compressor 300, and first fan 400 are located below the rear side of the air duct cavity 115 and below the evaporator 600 and the second fan 700. The first fan 400 is located between the condenser 500 and the compressor 300, with the air inlet side of the first fan 400 facing the condenser 500 and the air outlet side of the first fan 400 facing the compressor 300. The air inlet side and the air outlet side of the first fan 400 are opposite sides of the first fan 400 along its rotation axis.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the compressor 300, condenser 500 and evaporator 600 are connected to form a refrigerant circulation path. It is easy to understand that the refrigerant circulation path here is simplified and is not limited to including the three components of compressor 300, condenser 500 and evaporator 600.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that when the car refrigerator is working, the compressor 300 compresses the refrigerant to a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant flows from the compressor 300 to the condenser 500. At the condenser 500, the refrigerant releases heat and exchanges heat with the air around the condenser 500 to lower the temperature of the refrigerant. The low-temperature refrigerant flows from the condenser 500 to the evaporator 600. At the evaporator 600, the refrigerant absorbs heat and exchanges heat with the air around the evaporator 600 to lower the temperature of the air around the evaporator 600. The refrigerant then flows back from the evaporator 600 to the compressor 300, thus completing one cycle of refrigerant circulation. Inside the air duct cavity 115, the second fan 700 blows the cold air around the evaporator 600 through the air outlet 116 towards the storage cavity 114, cooling the food and beverages inside. The air in the storage cavity 114 then flows back to the air duct cavity 115 through the return air outlet 117, where the evaporator 600 cools the air again, thus completing the air circulation between the air duct cavity 115 and the storage cavity 114. This cycle achieves cooling within the storage cavity 114.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it is understandable that during the operation of the vehicle refrigerator, the compressor 300 generates a large amount of heat, causing its temperature to rise. Simultaneously, the condenser 500 releases heat, raising the temperature of the air surrounding it. It is easy to understand that the temperature of the compressor 300 is higher than the temperature of the air surrounding the condenser 500. The first fan 400, located between the compressor 300 and the condenser 500, draws air from the condenser 500 side and blows it towards the compressor 300. This quickly removes the hot air surrounding the condenser 500, thus rapidly removing heat from both the condenser and the compressor 300. This cooling of the compressor 300 prevents it from shutting down due to high temperature and improves its operational reliability.

[0047] It is understandable that during the operation of the vehicle refrigerator, frost will form on the outer surface of the evaporator 600. After defrosting, the defrosting water produced by the melting frost is collected in the water collection tank 112 and discharged through the drain outlet 113.

[0048] It is understandable that the outer surface of the second fan 700 may also frost up during the operation of the vehicle refrigerator. Similarly, after defrosting, the defrosting water produced by the melting of frost is collected in the water collection tank 112 and discharged through the drain outlet 113.

[0049] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the vehicle refrigerator may employ a direct cooling system, in which case the vehicle refrigerator does not include the second fan 700. The vehicle refrigerator employing the direct cooling system also has an automatic defrosting function. Similarly, the defrost water generated by the melting frost is discharged through the drain outlet 113, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the mounting base 200 is connected to the housing 100. Specifically, the mounting base 200 is located on the lower rear side of the outside of the air duct cavity 115. The mounting base 200 is engaged with the housing 100 via a snap-fit ​​structure, or the mounting base 200 is fixed to the housing 100 by screws or other fasteners. The compressor 300 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 200 and located on the upper side of the mounting base 200, thereby the mounting base 200 provides support for the compressor 300, that is, the mounting base 200 supports the compressor 300.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the mounting base 200 is provided with a water storage cavity 230, the upper end of which is open and faces upward, that is, the water storage cavity 230 is integrated into the mounting base 200. The water storage cavity 230 is used to store defrosting water discharged from the drain outlet 113.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the water storage chamber 230 is located directly below the drain outlet 113. The vehicle refrigerator also includes a drain pipe 120, which can be a rigid pipe or a flexible hose. The drain pipe 120 is fixedly installed in the inner liner 110, and the upper end of the drain pipe 120 is connected to the drain outlet 113, while the lower end of the drain pipe 120 faces the water storage chamber 230. This allows defrost water discharged from the drain outlet 113 to be guided into the water storage chamber 230 through the drain pipe 120, reducing the risk of defrost water splashing. Typically, the lower end of the drain pipe 120 extends into the water storage chamber 230 to further reduce the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the water storage chamber 230 is arranged adjacent to the compressor 300. Alternatively, the lower structure of the compressor 300 is located within the water storage chamber 230, and the sidewalls of the water storage chamber 230 are arranged around the outer periphery of the compressor 300.

[0054] Therefore, by integrating the water storage chamber 230 for receiving defrost water into the mounting base 200 for supporting the compressor 300, the heat generated during the operation of the compressor 300 is transferred to the defrost water in the water storage chamber 230 through the air outside the compressor 300. The heat generated by the compressor 300 evaporates the defrost water stored in the water storage chamber 230, thereby achieving timely cleaning of defrost water and avoiding excessive accumulation of defrost water that could affect the normal operation of the vehicle refrigerator and breed bacteria.

[0055] It is easy to understand that when the car refrigerator shakes due to sudden braking, turning, acceleration, or driving over uneven roads, timely cleaning of the defrost water can reduce the risk of defrost water splashing onto the outside of the water storage chamber 230 due to vibration. This reduces the risk of defrost water splashing onto the electronic components around the car refrigerator, effectively protecting the car's electronic components and improving reliability and driving safety.

[0056] It is easy to understand that by integrating the water storage chamber 230 into the mounting base 200, there is no need to configure an additional independent water receiving structure (such as a water receiving tray), which simplifies the structure for handling defrost water, effectively reduces material costs, and thus reduces the production cost of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the first fan 400 is located between the compressor 300 and the condenser 500. The water storage chamber 230 includes a cavity located on the air outlet side or air inlet side of the first fan 400. For example, the entire water storage chamber 230 is located on the air outlet side of the first fan 400. Alternatively, the entire water storage chamber 230 is located on the air inlet side of the first fan 400. Therefore, by providing the first fan 400, the first fan 400 can drive the airflow within the water storage chamber 230, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of defrost water, improving the efficiency of defrost water removal, preventing defrost water accumulation, and helping to reduce the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0058] It is understandable that when the first fan 400 is located above the water storage chamber 230 or its lower structure is located within the water storage chamber 230, a portion of the cavity of the water storage chamber 230 is located on the air outlet side of the first fan 400, and another portion is located on the air inlet side of the first fan 400. Therefore, the first fan 400 can further accelerate the evaporation rate of defrost water, improve the efficiency of defrost water removal, prevent defrost water accumulation, and help reduce the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the condenser 500 is located on the air inlet side of the first fan 400. When the water storage chamber 230 is entirely located on the air inlet side of the first fan 400, the water storage chamber 230 is located between the first fan 400 and the condenser 500. Therefore, during the operation of the vehicle refrigerator, the first fan 400 blows the hot air around the condenser 500 towards the compressor 300 and the water storage chamber 230. The hot air transfers heat to the defrost water, thereby further accelerating the evaporation rate of the defrost water, improving the efficiency of defrost water cleaning, avoiding defrost water accumulation, and helping to reduce the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0060] Understandably, the first fan 400 is an existing configuration of the vehicle refrigerator and is used to remove heat from the condenser 500 and cool the compressor 300. This solution cleverly utilizes the first fan 400 to accelerate the evaporation of defrost water, eliminating the need for additional fans and helping to reduce the production cost of the vehicle refrigerator.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that at least a portion of the compressor 300 is located within the water storage chamber 230, and the compressor 300 and the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230 are spaced apart. Specifically, in this embodiment, the compressor 300 is mounted on the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, the lower structure of the compressor 300 is located within the water storage chamber 230, and the upper structure of the compressor 300 protrudes outward from the outside of the water storage chamber 230 through an opening in the water storage chamber 230. For example, the compressor 300 and the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230 are spaced apart by a pad or support block. Therefore, reducing the distance between the compressor 300 and the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230 facilitates the transfer of heat generated by the compressor 300 to the defrost water, thereby further accelerating the evaporation rate of the defrost water, improving the efficiency of defrost water cleaning, preventing defrost water accumulation, and reducing the risk of defrost water splashing.

[0062] It is easy to understand that, due to the spaced arrangement between the compressor 300 and the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, the defrosting water stored in the water storage chamber 230 can be prevented from wetting the compressor 300 and affecting its normal operation, thus effectively improving the reliability of the compressor 300.

[0063] Understandably, to secure the compressor 300, fasteners such as screws or bolts are typically used to connect the compressor 300 to the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, meaning that mounting holes need to be provided in the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230. Consequently, defrost water can easily leak through the gap between the mounting hole wall and the fasteners, affecting the operation of electronic components located outside the water storage chamber 230.

[0064] Therefore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230 is provided with multiple second mounting portions 212, which protrude upward from the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230. For example, the second mounting portion 212 can be a protrusion structure or a convex bulge structure, such that the upper end face of the second mounting portion 212 is located above the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230. The multiple second mounting portions 212 are arranged at intervals in a ring. Generally, the upper end face of the second mounting portion 212 is provided with a mounting hole, the bottom of the compressor 300 abuts against the upper end face of the second mounting portion 212, and fasteners pass through the mounting holes of the second mounting portion 212 and are fixedly connected to the compressor 300, thereby fixing the compressor 300 to the mounting base 200. By providing a second mounting portion 212 protruding upward from the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, and with the mounting hole of the second mounting portion 212 located on its upper end face, the compressor 300 is supported by the second mounting portion 212. This arrangement of the compressor 300 and the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230 at a distance prevents defrost water stored in the water storage chamber 230 from wetting the compressor 300 and affecting its normal operation, effectively improving the reliability of the compressor 300. Furthermore, the upper opening of the mounting hole of the second mounting portion 212 is located above the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, effectively preventing defrost water from leaking through the mounting hole of the second mounting portion 212 to electronic components located outside the water storage chamber 230, thereby improving reliability. In this embodiment, four second mounting portions 212 are used, which helps improve the installation stability of the compressor 300. Of course, the number of second mounting portions 212 can also be three, five, or more.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that both the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 are mounted on the mounting base 200. Therefore, the condenser 500, compressor 300, and first fan 400 are integrated into the mounting base 200. During assembly, the condenser 500, compressor 300, and first fan 400 can be installed on the mounting base 200 respectively, forming a single module. Then, the entire module is installed into the housing 100, and the mounting base 200 is fixed to the housing 100. This avoids the operating space being limited by the space of the housing 100 when installing the condenser 500, compressor 300, and first fan 400, effectively reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that at least a portion of the structure of the first fan 400 and at least a portion of the structure of the condenser 500 are located within the water storage cavity 230, and the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 are respectively arranged at intervals from the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 are respectively installed on the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230, the lower part of the first fan 400 and the lower part of the condenser 500 are located within the water storage cavity 230, and the upper part of the first fan 400 and the upper part of the condenser 500 protrude from the outside of the water storage cavity 230 through the opening of the water storage cavity 230. For example, the bottom wall of the first fan 400 and the water storage chamber 230 are spaced apart by pads or support blocks, and similarly, the bottom wall of the condenser 500 and the water storage chamber 230 are spaced apart by pads or support blocks. Therefore, the distance between the bottom wall of the first fan 400 and the water storage chamber 230, as well as the distance between the condenser 500 and the water storage chamber 230, can be reduced. Furthermore, the water storage chamber 230 includes spaces located below the air outlet side and the air inlet side of the first fan 400, thereby further accelerating the airflow speed within the water storage chamber 230, accelerating the evaporation rate of the defrost water, and improving the efficiency of defrost water removal. In addition, it facilitates the transfer of heat from the condenser 500 to the defrost water, thereby further accelerating the evaporation rate of the defrost water and improving the efficiency of defrost water removal.

[0067] It is easy to understand that, since the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 are arranged at intervals from the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, the defrosting water stored in the water storage chamber 230 can be prevented from wetting the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 and affecting their normal operation, thus effectively improving the reliability of the first fan 400 and the condenser 500.

[0068] It is easy to understand that the condenser tube of the condenser 500 can also contact the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 230, so that the heat of the condenser tube can be more easily transferred to the defrost water stored in the water storage chamber 230, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of the defrost water and improving the efficiency of cleaning the defrost water.

[0069] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle-mounted refrigerator also includes a bracket 510, to which the first fan 400 and condenser 500 are respectively fixed. The bracket 510 can be an independent structure, or the bracket 510 and the first fan 400 can be an integral structure, or the bracket 510 and the condenser 500 can be an integral structure. The lower end of the bracket 510 protrudes from the bottom wall of the first fan 400 and the bottom wall of the condenser 500.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230 is provided with multiple first mounting portions 211, which protrude upward from the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230. For example, the first mounting portion 211 can be a protrusion structure or a convex bulge structure, such that the upper end face of the first mounting portion 211 is located above the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230. The multiple first mounting portions 211 are arranged at intervals along a straight line. Generally, the upper end face of the first mounting portion 211 is provided with a mounting hole, the bottom of the bracket 510 abuts against the upper end face of the first mounting portion 211, and fasteners pass through the mounting holes of the first mounting portions 211 and are fixedly connected to the bracket 510, thereby realizing the fixation of the first fan 400 and the condenser 500 to the mounting base 200 through the bracket 510. By providing a first mounting portion 211 protruding upward from the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230, and with the mounting hole of the first mounting portion 211 located on its upper end face, on the one hand, the first mounting portion 211 supports the bracket 510, allowing the first fan 400 and condenser 500 to be spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230, thus preventing defrost water stored in the water storage cavity 230 from wetting the first fan 400 and condenser 500 and affecting their normal operation, effectively improving the reliability of the first fan 400 and condenser 500; on the other hand, the upper opening of the mounting hole of the first mounting portion 211 is located above the bottom wall of the water storage cavity 230, effectively preventing defrost water from leaking through the mounting hole of the first mounting portion 211 to electronic components outside the water storage cavity 230, thereby improving reliability. In this embodiment, there are two first mounting portions 211. Of course, the number of first mounting portions 211 can also be three, four, or more.

[0071] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner liner 110 is provided with a vent 111, which is located on the side of the condenser 500 away from the first fan 400. A clearance groove 221 is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber 230 facing the vent 111. The clearance groove 221 is arranged corresponding to the vent 111 in the direction of the rotation axis of the first fan 400. That is, on a projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first fan 400, the projection of the groove wall of the clearance groove 221 falls within the vent 111, or the projection of a portion of the groove wall of the clearance groove 221 coincides with the projection of a portion of the inner wall of the vent 111. Since the lower part of the first fan 400 and the lower part of the condenser 500 are located inside the water storage chamber 230, by setting the clearance groove 221, the side wall of the water storage chamber 230 can be prevented from obstructing the airflow through the vent 111 to the condenser 500, thereby reducing the airflow resistance and improving the heat dissipation effect of the first fan 400 on the condenser 500.

[0072] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that in this embodiment, the mounting base 200 is a one-piece molded part, which is obtained by processes such as injection molding, casting, and stamping, making it easy to process. Specifically, the mounting base 200 includes a base plate 210 and a side plate 220 connected to the base plate 210. The side plate 220 is arranged around the base plate 210 and connected to the periphery of the base plate 210, and the side plate 220 protrudes upward from the base plate 210. Therefore, a water storage cavity 230 is defined between the base plate 210 and the side plate 220. The first mounting part 211 and the second mounting part 212 are both provided on the base plate 210, that is, the compressor 300 and the bracket 510 are respectively mounted on the base plate 210. The clearance groove 221 is provided on the structure of the side plate 220 facing the vent 111. The lower part of the compressor 300, the lower part of the first fan 400, and the lower part of the condenser 500 are all located in the water storage cavity 230. The mounting base 200 of this structure has a large opening area in its water storage chamber 230, which helps to further accelerate the evaporation rate of defrost water and improve the efficiency of defrost water removal. In this embodiment, the mounting base 200 is a sheet metal part, which is easy to process.

[0073] In other embodiments, the mounting base 200 may also be formed by welding the base plate 210 and the side plate 220 together.

[0074] It is understood that in some embodiments, the mounting base 200 is a sheet metal structure, and a recessed cavity is provided in the middle of the mounting base 200, which is the water storage cavity 230. The compressor 300 and the bracket 510 are respectively connected to the plate structure located on the outer periphery of the cavity in the mounting base 200, and the cavity is located between the compressor 300 and the first fan 400. In this way, the defrost water is received by the water storage cavity 230, and the defrost water stored in the water storage cavity 230 is evaporated by the heat around the water storage cavity 230 and the air flow driven by the first fan 400, thereby realizing timely cleaning of defrost water and avoiding excessive accumulation of defrost water that would affect the normal operation of the vehicle refrigerator and breed bacteria. Alternatively, a partition is provided in the cavity defined by the bottom plate 210 and the side plate 220 to define an independent water storage cavity 230, which will not be described in detail here.
