Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted refrigerator technology, specifically to a vehicle-mounted refrigerator in the driver's cab. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of modern agricultural mechanization, the demand for longer operating hours and improved driving comfort in combine harvesters has significantly increased. As the core operating space for the driver, the cab is gradually becoming more enclosed and needs to meet the food storage requirements during long working hours; therefore, onboard refrigerators are becoming an important feature.
[0003] Agricultural harvester cabs are highly integrated in function, but space is limited. Therefore, most single-seat cab agricultural machines do not currently have onboard refrigerators, and even double-seat cab machines rarely have them. How to make full use of the limited cab space to install an onboard refrigerator while ensuring easy access for personnel to retrieve food is a problem that needs to be solved.
[0004] Currently, some combine harvester cab refrigerators are integrated into the roof. Due to the limited roof space, the refrigerator capacity is limited; furthermore, items inside the refrigerator are prone to slipping off on bumpy roads, posing a safety hazard. In addition, some combine harvester cab refrigerators are located under the passenger seat, separate from the seat. To open the refrigerator, one must pull it out from under the passenger seat or fold the passenger seat back before opening the top cover to retrieve refrigerated items. This operation is cumbersome and inconvenient. Utility Model Content
