Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, relates to an in-vehicle refrigerator assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of intelligent vehicles, some models are equipped with devices such as refrigerators, color TVs, and sofas to enhance the user's riding experience. The in-vehicle refrigerator can refrigerate or keep warm the items stored inside, making it highly practical and widely used in intelligent vehicles.

[0003] In the existing technology, the vehicle refrigerator is installed inside the elbow box of the passenger dashboard, which occupies a lot of space and greatly reduces the storage space in the passenger compartment; moreover, the refrigerator often has a separate evaporator and condenser directly installed inside for cooling or heating, resulting in high operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly and vehicle, aiming to solve the technical problems of existing vehicle-mounted refrigerators having large footprint and high operating costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: Firstly, a vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly is provided, comprising: A foot-blowing air duct is placed between the front seats and the vehicle floor, and is fixedly connected to the vehicle floor; one end of the foot-blowing air duct is used to connect to the vehicle air conditioning system, and the other end extends backward to the rear seats to deliver cooling or heating airflow to the rear seats; A storage compartment is located between the bottom of the front seats and the vehicle floor, and is fixedly connected to the vehicle floor; the front and rear ends of the storage compartment extend to be flush with the front and rear sides of the front seats; the storage compartment has a receiving cavity; and A connecting pipe is provided, with one end connected to the foot blowing duct and the other end extending into the storage box and connected to the receiving cavity; The airflow in the foot blowing duct is introduced into the storage box through the connecting pipe to achieve refrigeration or heat preservation within the containing cavity.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in this application embodiment can heat or cool the storage box by introducing the airflow in the foot blowing duct into the storage box. Furthermore, there is no need to install a separate evaporator or condenser in the storage box. The temperature inside the storage box can be adjusted while the in-vehicle air conditioner is turned on for cooling or heating, which can effectively reduce costs and improve the economic applicability of the in-vehicle refrigerator assembly. Furthermore, the interior of the storage box is only used to accommodate hot and cold air currents, avoiding the occupation of internal space by structures such as evaporators or condensers, thus improving the space utilization rate inside the storage box. In addition, by placing the storage box between the floor and the front seats, the use of the car refrigerator assembly in the interior space of the vehicle can be avoided, thereby improving the utilization rate of the interior space. The front and rear ends of the storage box extend to be flush with the front and rear sides of the front seats, which makes it convenient to store and retrieve items from the front and rear ends of the storage box. Therefore, the vehicle refrigerator assembly provided in this application can effectively improve the space utilization rate inside the vehicle compartment and storage box, making the overall vehicle interior structure compact and conducive to improving vehicle integration; and can effectively reduce cooling and heating costs, improving the economic applicability of the vehicle.

[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the connecting conduit includes: A flow guide is fixed on the foot blowing duct and is connected to the foot blowing duct; The connecting pipe has one end connected to the flow guide and the other end inserted into the storage box and connected to the receiving cavity.

[0008] The airflow in the foot-blowing duct is split by a deflector, with one path leading to the feet of the rear passengers and the other path leading to the storage compartment via a connecting pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flow guide includes: A guide section is fitted onto the foot blowing duct; the guide section is provided with an installation port; The connecting part is provided through both ends in the axial direction; one through end of the connecting part covers the mounting port, and the other through end is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0010] The guide section is arranged around and abuts against the foot blowing duct to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the guide and the foot blowing duct, and to prevent airflow from leaking from the connection between the guide and the foot blowing duct; the connecting section is used to guide the airflow led out by the guide section into the receiving cavity.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, a guide vane is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe, and the rotation axis of the guide vane is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting pipe. An opening is formed between the air guide plate and the inner wall of the connecting pipe; when the rotating shaft is rotated, the air guide plate changes from being perpendicular to the axis of the connecting pipe to being inclined to the axis of the connecting pipe, so that the size of the opening increases.

[0012] By setting up an air guide plate and rotatably connecting it to the connecting pipe, the direction of the air guide plate can be adjusted when the rotating shaft is rotated. This, in turn, adjusts the opening between the air guide plate and the inner wall of the connecting pipe, thereby adjusting the airflow rate in the connecting pipe to meet the temperature control requirements of the storage box.

[0013] In some embodiments, a drive motor is fixed on the foot blowing duct, and the power output end of the drive motor extends into the connecting pipe and is poweredly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0014] By setting up a drive motor, the rotation shaft of the air guide plate can be rotated, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment of the tilt angle of the air guide plate.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, a temperature sensor is provided inside the receiving cavity; a heating wire is provided inside the connecting pipe, and the heating wire extends axially along the connecting pipe; wherein the heating wire is used to heat the airflow entering the connecting pipe.

[0016] By installing a heating wire, the airflow introduced into the storage box can be auxiliaryly heated to further increase the storage temperature inside the storage box. This helps to expand the high-temperature adjustment range inside the storage box and meet high-temperature requirements. Furthermore, the heating wire is installed in the connecting pipe, so it does not occupy the internal space of the storage box and can ensure the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage box.

[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the vehicle floor is provided with an upwardly protruding mounting platform, and the storage box is fixed on the mounting platform; The foot blowing duct is installed inside the mounting platform, and part of it is located below the storage box; One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the foot blowing duct, and the other end extends vertically out of the mounting platform and is connected to the receiving cavity.

[0018] By setting up a mounting platform on the vehicle floor and fixing the storage box on the mounting platform, the bottom of the storage box can be raised to allow for the installation of foot blowing ducts and other wiring harnesses within the mounting platform. Furthermore, the foot blowing ducts and the storage box are spaced vertically, which facilitates the installation of vertically extending connecting pipes between the foot blowing ducts and the storage box. This helps to achieve a reasonable internal layout of the vehicle refrigerator assembly and improves the structural compactness of the vehicle refrigerator assembly.

[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the storage box includes: The box body is arranged through the front and rear direction of the vehicle body, and the two through ends of the box body are flush with the front and rear sides of the front seat; the box body is provided with the receiving cavity; Two sets of drawers are located opposite each other at the two through ends of the box body and are slidably connected to the box body along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body.

[0020] The cabinet is designed to run through the front and back, allowing for easy sliding connection of drawers. With the cabinet and two sets of opposite drawers, the front and back sides of the storage box can be opened and closed, facilitating the storage and retrieval of items.

[0021] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is provided between the mating surfaces of each drawer and the cabinet.

[0022] By setting a sealing ring, the sealing between the box and the drawer can be enhanced, reducing air leakage and improving the heat preservation or cooling effect inside the storage box.

[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle that includes the aforementioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly.

[0024] The vehicle provided in this application, having included the aforementioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly, possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly. It can effectively improve the space utilization rate inside the vehicle compartment, make the internal structure of the vehicle compact, and facilitate the integration of the vehicle. Furthermore, it can effectively reduce the cost of refrigeration and heating, thereby improving the economic applicability of the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0029] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other element. It should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0030] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] It should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", "up", and "down" in this embodiment are based on the vehicle's own orientation. The front of the vehicle represents "front", the rear of the vehicle represents "rear", the top of the vehicle represents "up", the bottom of the vehicle represents "down", the "inner" side refers to the side facing the driver's cab, and the "outer" side refers to the side facing the driver's cab.

[0032] In addition, the front-rear direction of the vehicle body as defined in the embodiments of this application refers to the front-rear direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving; the left-right direction of the vehicle body as defined refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving; and the up-down direction of the vehicle body as defined refers to the up-down direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving.

[0033] It should be noted that vehicles are usually equipped with an onboard air conditioning system, which can cool or heat the vehicle and deliver the airflow generated by cooling or heating to the passenger compartment. Specifically, the generated airflow can be delivered to the area below the driver's seat and the front passenger seat through the foot-blowing duct 1, close to the feet of the driver and front passenger; it can also be delivered to the rear seats through the rearward-extending foot-blowing duct 1, close to the feet of the rear passengers.

[0034] In addition, refrigerators in traditional vehicles often need to be cooled or heated separately. They are two independent structures from the vehicle's air conditioning system, and the processes of cooling and heating in the air conditioning system and the cooling or heating process in the refrigerator are also controlled separately.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The following describes the vehicle refrigerator assembly and vehicle provided in this application. The vehicle refrigerator assembly includes a foot-blowing duct 1, a storage box 2, and a connecting pipe 3. The foot-blowing duct 1 is located between the front seat 5 and the vehicle floor 4, and is fixedly connected to the vehicle floor 4. One end of the foot-blowing duct 1 is used to connect to the vehicle air conditioning system, and the other end extends rearward to the rear seat to deliver cooling or heating airflow to the rear seat. The storage box 2 is located between the bottom of the front seat 5 and the vehicle floor 4, and is fixedly connected to the vehicle floor 4. The front and rear ends of the storage box 2 extend to be flush with the front and rear sides of the front seat 5. The storage box 2 has a receiving cavity. One end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the foot-blowing duct 1. The other end of the connecting pipe 3 extends into the storage box 2 and is connected to the receiving cavity. The airflow in the foot-blowing duct 1 is introduced into the storage box 2 through the connecting pipe 3 to achieve refrigeration or heat preservation in the receiving cavity.

[0036] In this application, the vehicle refrigerator is connected to the vehicle's air conditioning system through the foot-blowing duct 1. This allows for simultaneous cooling of the vehicle interior through the foot-blowing duct 1 and simultaneous heating of the vehicle interior through the foot-blowing duct 1. The temperature inside the refrigerator can be adjusted by controlling the cooling and heating of the air conditioning system.

[0037] It should be noted that the cooling and heating in this application are achieved through the hot and cold airflow within the foot-blowing duct 1. The cooling and heating effects are relative. For example, in summer when the external temperature is as high as 38 or 39 degrees Celsius, the cooling airflow in this application is relatively low compared to the external temperature, thus achieving cooling. In winter, when the external temperature is as low as 0 degrees Celsius, the heating airflow in this application is relatively high compared to the external temperature, thus achieving heating. The cooling and heating effects described in this application are not intended to achieve a freezing effect below 0 degrees Celsius or a heating effect reaching the boiling point.

[0038] Therefore, the vehicle refrigerator assembly and the internal air conditioning system provided in this application share a set of refrigeration and heating equipment, which can greatly reduce the area occupied in the interior of the vehicle and improve the space utilization rate; and reduce the cost of separate manufacturing through structures such as evaporators or condensers.

[0039] Furthermore, by utilizing the airflow within the foot-blowing duct 1 to refrigerate or insulate the storage compartment 2, the function of a car refrigerator is realized, and the existing air duct system in the vehicle can be utilized, resulting in significant energy savings.

[0040] Specifically, the airflow for cooling or heating is guided to form a split at the connecting pipe 3, which is divided into two paths: one path flows to the passenger foot area to realize the original cooling or heating function of the carriage, and the other path is introduced into the storage box 2. Specifically, the airflow rate flowing into the storage box 2 accounts for 0-30%.

[0041] For example, the front seats 5 typically include a driver's seat and a passenger seat, and there are two foot blowing ducts 1; wherein, the driver's seat and the passenger seat correspond to one foot blowing duct 1, one connecting pipe 3 and one storage box 2 respectively.

[0042] It should be understood that foot-blowing air ducts 1 are provided at both the driver's seat and the passenger seat, that is, the driver's seat corresponds to one foot-blowing air duct 1 and the passenger seat corresponds to another foot-blowing air duct 1, so as to deliver cold or hot air to the driver and the passenger respectively. In this application, a storage box 2 is provided at the driver's seat and the passenger seat respectively, and the air is delivered independently through separate foot-blowing air ducts 1 and connecting pipes 3, so that the two storage boxes 2 can be cooled or heated at the same time.

[0043] For example, the front seats 5 typically include a driver's seat and a passenger seat, and the foot ventilation ducts 1 are provided with two ducts; among them, a connecting pipe 3 and a storage box 2 are provided at the driver's seat, while no connecting pipe 3 and storage box 2 are provided at the passenger seat.

[0044] For example, the front seats 5 typically include a driver's seat and a passenger seat, and the foot ventilation ducts 1 are provided with two ducts; among them, a connecting pipe 3 and a storage box 2 are provided at the passenger seat, while no connecting pipe 3 and storage box 2 are provided at the driver's seat.

[0045] Additionally, it should be noted that the front seat 5 can be slidably adjusted in the fore-and-aft direction, and the adjustment mechanism of the front seat 5 is located on the left and right sides of the seat. Therefore, the adjustment of the seat will not interfere with the vehicle refrigerator assembly.

[0046] It should be noted that when there is no airflow into storage box 2, storage box 2 can be used for room temperature storage. When there is airflow, storage box 2 can meet the needs of refrigeration or heat preservation.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle refrigerator assembly provided in this application can heat or cool the cavity by introducing the airflow in the foot blowing duct 1 into the storage box 2. Furthermore, there is no need to install separate evaporators and condensers in the storage box 2. The temperature inside the storage box 2 can be adjusted while the vehicle air conditioner is turned on for cooling or heating, which can effectively reduce costs and improve the economic applicability of the vehicle refrigerator assembly. Furthermore, the interior of the storage box 2 is only used to accommodate hot and cold airflow, avoiding the occupation of internal space by structures such as evaporators and condensers, thus improving the space utilization rate inside the storage box 2.

[0048] In addition, by placing the storage box 2 between the floor 4 and the front seat 5, the space occupied by the vehicle refrigerator assembly can be avoided, thereby improving the utilization rate of the interior space. The front and rear ends of the storage box 2 extend to be flush with the front and rear sides of the front seat 5, which makes it convenient to store and retrieve items from the front and rear ends of the storage box 2.

[0049] Therefore, the vehicle refrigerator assembly provided in this application can effectively improve the space utilization rate inside the vehicle compartment and the storage box 2, making the internal structure of the whole vehicle compact and conducive to improving the integration of the vehicle; and can effectively reduce the cost of cooling and heating, and improve the economic applicability of the vehicle.

[0050] Optionally, the foot-warming air duct 1 is located on the left side of the seat, with the connecting pipe 3 extending to the right to the bottom of the front seat 5 and into the storage compartment 2. Optionally, the foot-warming air duct 1 is located on the right side of the seat, with the connecting pipe 3 extending to the left to the bottom of the front seat 5 and into the storage compartment 2. Regardless of whether the foot-warming air duct 1 is located on the left, right, or bottom, the connecting pipe 3 can be adjusted in its direction and length to allow hot or cold air to circulate into the storage compartment 2.

[0051] Optionally, the foot blowing duct 1 is located at the bottom of the seat, and the connecting pipe 3 is located at the bottom of the seat and extends vertically.

[0052] Please see Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, the connecting pipe 3 includes a flow guide 31 and a connecting pipe 32; the flow guide 31 is fixed on the foot blowing duct 1 and communicates with the foot blowing duct 1; one end of the connecting pipe 32 is communicated with the flow guide 31; the other end of the connecting pipe 32 passes into the storage box 2 and communicates with the receiving cavity.

[0053] In this application, the airflow in the foot blowing duct 1 is divided by the air guide 31. One path is guided to the feet of the rear passengers through the foot blowing duct 1, and the other path is guided into the storage box 2 through the connecting pipe 32.

[0054] The connecting pipe 3 in this application is used to connect the foot blowing duct 1 and the storage box 2. Therefore, a connecting port should be provided on the foot blowing duct 1. The airflow in the foot blowing duct 1 enters the guide 31 through the connecting port and is discharged through the connecting pipe 32 via the guide 31.

[0055] Optionally, the air guide 31 is a three-way connector, with both ends of the three-way pipe connected to the foot blowing duct 1 to divide the foot blowing duct 1 into a front section and a rear section. The other end is connected to the connecting pipe 32, and the airflow in the front section is split by the air guide 31, with one stream directed to the rear section to regulate the temperature of the feet of the passenger behind the seat, and the other stream entering the connecting pipe 32.

[0056] For example, the connecting pipe 3 can be a flexible metal corrugated pipe or a high-strength plastic hose. This corrugated pipe has good flexibility, allowing it to adapt to vehicle vibrations and deformations during operation, preventing pipe damage caused by rigid connections. At the same time, the metal material ensures the strength and durability of the pipe, reducing maintenance costs.

[0057] Furthermore, the air guide 31 can be fixed to and connected to the foot blowing duct 1 using a welding process. The welding points are specially treated to ensure a strong weld and good sealing to prevent airflow leakage. The air guide 31 can be made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, high-strength, and has good thermal conductivity, facilitating smooth airflow conduction.

[0058] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the flow guide 31 includes a guiding part 311 and a connecting part 312; the guiding part 311 is sleeved on the foot blowing duct 1; the guiding part 311 is provided with an installation port; the connecting part 312 is axially connected at both ends; one of the through ends of the connecting part 312 covers the installation port, and the other through end is connected to the connecting pipe 32.

[0059] The guide part 311 is sleeved and abuts against the foot blowing air duct 1 to ensure the sealing of the connection between the guide 31 and the foot blowing air duct 1, and to prevent airflow from leaking from the connection between the guide 31 and the foot blowing air duct 1; the connecting part 312 is used to guide the airflow led out by the guide part 311 into the receiving cavity.

[0060] The mounting port is used to communicate with the interior of the foot blowing duct 1, so that the airflow in the foot blowing duct 1 enters the connection part 312 from the mounting port. It should be understood that the foot blowing duct 1 is a flat pipe structure, and the cross-section of the flat pipe is rectangular. In this application, a guide part 311 is provided, which can be arranged around the perimeter of the rectangular pipe to close the communication port on the foot blowing duct 1 and prevent airflow leakage.

[0061] Furthermore, the arrangement of the guide section 311 and the connecting section 312 can effectively guide the airflow from the foot blowing duct 1 into the connecting pipe 3, and make the airflow distribution more reasonable, thereby improving the efficiency of temperature regulation of the storage box 2.

[0062] Optionally, the lower through end of the connecting part 312 is arranged vertically and vertically corresponding to the connection port of the foot blowing duct 1 and the installation port of the guide part 311, so that the airflow in the foot blowing duct 1 enters the connecting pipe 32 through the connection port and the installation port.

[0063] Specifically, the connecting part 312 and the conducting part 311 are integrally formed; optionally, the connecting part 312 is fixed to the conducting part 311 by welding; optionally, the connecting part 312 and the conducting part 311 are fixed by bolts or rivets, and a sealing structure is provided at the connection between the connecting part 312 and the conducting part 311.

[0064] Furthermore, the connecting part 312 is a rectangular tube or a circular tube. Specifically, the shape of the connecting part 312 can be selectively set according to actual needs.

[0065] Please see Figure 5 In some possible embodiments, a guide plate 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3, and the rotation axis 61 of the guide plate 6 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3; wherein, an opening is formed between the guide plate 6 and the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3; when the rotation axis 61 is rotated, the guide plate 6 switches from being perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3 to being inclined to the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3, so that the opening size changes from small to large.

[0066] By setting up an air guide plate 6 and rotatably connecting it to the connecting pipe 3, the direction of the air guide plate 6 can be adjusted when the rotating shaft 61 is rotated, thereby adjusting the opening between the air guide plate 6 and the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3, thus adjusting the airflow rate in the connecting pipe 3 to meet the temperature control requirements of the storage box 2 and improve the flexibility and accuracy of temperature regulation.

[0067] Specifically, the air guide plate 6 is arranged perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3 and is in a closed state that closes the connecting pipe 3; in the closed state, the opening size is 0; at this time, the storage box 2 can be stored at room temperature to avoid the waste of cold air or heat.

[0068] The air guide plate 6 is also in an open state, inclined to the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3 and forming an opening between it and the inner wall of the connecting pipe 3; in the open state, when the rotating shaft 61 is rotated, the opening size gradually increases or decreases. At this time, airflow can enter the storage box 2 for heat preservation or refrigeration.

[0069] Furthermore, when the connecting part 312 is a rectangular tube, the air guide plate 6 is a rectangular plate that matches the shape of the rectangular tube, and a rotating shaft 61 is provided on one side of the rectangular plate so that the air guide plate 6 can rotate around its rotating shaft 61.

[0070] Optionally, when the connecting part 312 is a circular tube, the air guide plate 6 is a circular plate that matches the shape of the circular tube, and the radial outer edge of the circular plate is provided with a rotating shaft 61 so that the air guide plate 6 can rotate around its rotating shaft 61.

[0071] For example, the rotating shaft 61 can also be set at the center of the air guide plate 6; specifically, when the air guide plate 6 is a rectangular plate, the rotating shaft 61 is set parallel to the long side or short side of the rectangle and extends through the center of the rectangular plate. The two sides of the rectangular plate are symmetrical with respect to the rotating shaft 61, and openings are formed on both sides of the rectangular plate when the rectangular plate rotates.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, a drive motor 7 is fixed on the foot blowing duct 1, and the power output end of the drive motor 7 extends into the connecting pipe 3 and is poweredly connected to the rotating shaft 61.

[0073] By setting a drive motor 7, the rotation shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6 can be rotated by the drive motor 7, thereby realizing the adaptive adjustment of the tilt angle of the air guide plate 6.

[0074] In addition, a drive motor 7 is fixed on the foot blowing duct 1, and the power output end extends into the connecting pipe 3 and is connected to the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6. This realizes the automatic control of the rotation of the air guide plate 6, which allows for convenient and quick adjustment of airflow without manual operation, thus improving the ease of use.

[0075] Specifically, the drive motor 7 is fixed on the top wall of the foot blowing duct 1 and is poweredly connected to the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6 through a gear transmission mechanism.

[0076] Specifically, the drive motor 7 is a micro stepper motor, which is connected to the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6 through a gear transmission mechanism. This allows for precise control of the rotation angle of the air guide plate 6 as needed, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the opening size. For example, when rapid cooling is required, the opening size is increased to allow more cold air to enter the storage box 2; when heat preservation is required, the opening size is decreased to reduce the exchange of hot and cold air.

[0077] Optionally, a gear transmission mechanism is provided on the power output shaft of the drive motor 7. The power output end of the gear transmission mechanism is connected to the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6, and is used to drive the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6 to rotate. The gear transmission mechanism is used to adjust the speed.

[0078] Optionally, the power output shaft of the drive motor 7 is directly connected to the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6, so that the drive motor 7 directly drives the rotating shaft 61 of the air guide plate 6 to rotate.

[0079] Please see Figure 5In some possible embodiments, a temperature sensor is provided inside the cavity; an electric heating wire 8 is provided inside the connecting pipe 3, and the electric heating wire 8 extends along the axial direction of the connecting pipe 3; wherein, the electric heating wire 8 is used to heat the airflow entering the connecting pipe 3.

[0080] By setting the heating wire 8, the airflow introduced into the storage box 2 can be auxiliaryly heated to further increase the storage temperature in the storage box 2, which is conducive to expanding the high temperature adjustment range in the storage box 2 and meeting the high temperature requirements; in addition, the heating wire 8 is set in the connecting pipe 3, which does not occupy the internal space of the storage box 2, and can ensure the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage box 2.

[0081] In this embodiment, the heating wire 8 can reheat the airflow entering the connecting pipe 3, enabling more precise control of the temperature inside the storage box 2. It can not only cool and keep warm, but also heat as needed, meeting diverse usage scenarios and improving the functionality of the car refrigerator.

[0082] It is important to understand that the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature inside the containment cavity in real time to ensure the smooth operation of the insulation and refrigeration process.

[0083] Specifically, the heating wire 8 includes a heating structure for achieving heating, and a power supply and connecting wires electrically connected to the heating structure. The heating wire 8 is used to generate heat after being energized, so as to further heat the airflow flowing through the heating wire 8, thereby increasing the temperature inside the storage box 2.

[0084] Furthermore, the vehicle refrigerator assembly also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the temperature sensor and the heating wire 8; the controller can analyze the temperature signal from the temperature sensor and control the heating and de-energizing of the heating wire 8.

[0085] Optionally, the controller is also electrically connected to the drive motor 7 of the air guide plate 6 to facilitate the controller in controlling the tilt angle of the air guide plate 6.

[0086] For example, in the two connecting pipes 3 corresponding to the front seat 5, the connecting pipe 3 under the driver's seat does not have a heating wire 8, but only the connecting pipe 3 under the passenger seat has a heating wire 8. The temperature sensor can be set in the storage box 2 under the two different seats, or it can be set only in the storage box 2 of the seat with the heating wire 8.

[0087] When higher temperatures or rapid heating are required, items can be placed in the glove compartment 2 of the passenger seat. The controller then activates the heating element 8, which monitors the heating temperature in real time via a temperature sensor. Once the heating element 8 starts working, it stops heating when the set temperature is reached. When the temperature signal from the sensor falls below the set temperature, the controller resumes heating, maintaining the set temperature in the glove compartment 2 – a constant temperature state. To cancel this constant temperature state, the controller can turn off the heating element 8.

[0088] It should be understood that although an electric heating wire 8 is provided in this application to heat the storage box 2, it is small in size and is located in the connecting pipe 3, so it does not occupy the internal space of the storage box 2; and the power of the electric heating wire 8 is not high, so even if there is an increase in heating cost, the actual increase in cost is still very small.

[0089] For example, in the two connecting pipes 3 corresponding to the front seat 5, the heating wires 8 may not be installed in either the connecting pipe 3 of the driver's seat or the passenger seat.

[0090] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the vehicle floor 4 is provided with an upwardly protruding mounting platform 41, and the storage box 2 is fixed on the mounting platform 41; the foot blowing duct 1 passes through the mounting platform 41 and is partially placed below the storage box 2; one end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the foot blowing duct 1, and the other end passes through the mounting platform 41 in a vertical direction and is connected to the receiving cavity.

[0091] By setting a mounting platform 41 on the vehicle floor 4 and fixing the storage box 2 on the mounting platform 41, the bottom of the storage box 2 can be raised upward so that the foot blowing duct 1 and other wiring harness structures can be installed inside the mounting platform 41. Furthermore, the foot blowing duct 1 and the storage box 2 are arranged vertically and horizontally, which facilitates the installation of vertically extending connecting pipes 3 between the foot blowing duct 1 and the storage box 2. This is beneficial for achieving a reasonable internal layout of the vehicle refrigerator assembly and improving the structural compactness of the vehicle refrigerator assembly.

[0092] It should be understood that the top surface of the mounting platform 41 separates the storage box 2 and the foot blowing duct 1 vertically, making reasonable use of the space under the front seat 5, so that the entire vehicle refrigerator assembly is compact and does not take up too much extra space in the vehicle.

[0093] The connecting pipe 3 connects the foot blowing duct 1 and the storage box 2 vertically, ensuring the stability of the connection of the connecting pipe 3. One end of the connecting pipe 3 extends vertically out of the mounting platform 41 and connects with the receiving cavity, which facilitates the smooth flow of air into the storage box 2.

[0094] Specifically, the mounting platform 41 is provided with a clearance hole suitable for the foot blowing duct 1 to pass through, so that the foot blowing duct 1 can enter the receiving cavity from the bottom of the storage box 2 through the connecting pipe 3.

[0095] It should be noted that the extension direction of the foot blowing duct 1, as well as the connection structure and working principle between the foot blowing duct 1 and the vehicle air conditioning system, are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0096] In the actual vehicle refrigerator assembly, the upward-protruding mounting platform 41 on the floor 4 can be made of high-strength sheet metal in one piece to provide sufficient strength to securely fix the storage box 2. At the same time, weight-reducing holes can be provided to reduce overall weight. Furthermore, the mounting platform 41 is designed as a cuboid, its dimensions precisely adapted to the size of the storage box 2 and the space under the front seats 5, ensuring that there is a suitable gap between the storage box 2 and other vehicle components after installation, without affecting the normal operation of the vehicle.

[0097] When the foot-blowing duct 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, a sealing rubber ring is used for sealing to prevent airflow leakage and improve energy utilization efficiency. The sealing rubber ring is made of a material with good elasticity and temperature resistance, which can adapt to different temperature environments inside the vehicle and ensure a long-term effective sealing effect.

[0098] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the storage box 2 includes a box body 21 and two sets of drawers 22; the box body 21 is arranged through the front and rear directions of the vehicle body, and the two through ends of the box body 21 are flush with the front and rear sides of the front seat 5; the box body 21 is provided with a receiving cavity; the two sets of drawers 22 are arranged opposite to the two through ends of the box body 21 and are slidably connected to the box body 21 in the front and rear directions of the vehicle body.

[0099] The box body 21 is arranged through the front and back direction, and the drawer 22 can be easily slidably connected in the front and back direction. By setting the box body 21 and two sets of opposite drawers 22, the front and back sides of the storage box 2 can be opened and closed, making it convenient to store and retrieve the corresponding items.

[0100] Furthermore, the design of the two drawers 22 at the front and rear allows for dual access to items, making it convenient for passengers in different positions to retrieve their belongings. The design of the two drawers 22 makes full use of the space under the seats, which is more reasonable than the layout of traditional car refrigerators and improves the ease of use.

[0101] The drawer 22 is slidably disposed within the receiving cavity of the storage box 2. Optionally, a slide or groove is provided in the box body 21, and the drawer 22 is provided with a sliding part that matches the slide or groove. When the drawer 22 slides in the front-to-back direction in the box body 21, the sliding part of the drawer 22 slides in the corresponding slide or groove.

[0102] It should be noted that the number of drawers 22 in the two sets on the front and back sides can be equal or unequal. Specifically, the number of drawers 22 in each set can be selectively set according to actual needs.

[0103] For example, a drawer 22 is provided at the front and rear ends of the box 21, and the two drawers 22 slide open in opposite directions.

[0104] For example, a partition is provided inside the housing 21, and the number of drawers 22 in each group is two; when the partition extends forward and backward, the two drawers 22 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the vehicle body; when the partition extends left and right, the two drawers 22 are spaced apart along the up and down direction.

[0105] For example, the drawer 22 located on the front side is pulled outward along the direction of the seat slide rail mechanism, and optionally, the pulling stroke is 170mm; the drawer 22 located on the rear side is smoothly pulled out along the seat, and optionally, the pulling stroke is 200mm; furthermore, the setting of the pulling stroke needs to be adaptively adjusted according to the space in front of and behind the seats in the carriage.

[0106] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is provided between the mating surfaces of each drawer 22 and the box 21.

[0107] By setting a sealing ring, the sealing between the box 21 and the drawer 22 can be enhanced, reducing air leakage, which is beneficial to improving the heat preservation or cooling effect inside the storage box 2 and reducing energy loss.

[0108] For example, the outer side panel of each drawer 22 facing outward of the receiving cavity is positioned on the through end face of the box body 21, and the sealing ring is fixed to the outer side panel of the drawer 22 for abutting the outer side panel against the through end face of the box body 21 through the sealing ring when the drawer 22 is closed.

[0109] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle that includes the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly.

[0110] The vehicle provided in this application, having included the aforementioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly, possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned vehicle-mounted refrigerator assembly. It can effectively improve the space utilization rate inside the vehicle compartment, make the internal structure of the vehicle compact, and facilitate the integration of the vehicle. Furthermore, it can effectively reduce the cost of refrigeration and heating, thereby improving the economic applicability of the vehicle.

[0111] In addition, the inclusion of an in-vehicle refrigerator assembly enables the vehicle to have real-time cooling and heating functions, improving the vehicle's comfort and practicality, providing passengers with a better riding experience, and also increasing the vehicle's market competitiveness.

[0112] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
