For example, the storage box of a car refrigerator, that is, the inner compartment of the refrigerator, is opened by a sliding assembly. The slider of the sliding assembly is fixedly connected to the storage box, which causes the sliding assembly to withstand large loads in three directions. There are high requirements for the strength of the sliding rail structure of the sliding assembly, which in turn leads to a high cost of the sliding assembly.

[0005] Furthermore, to prevent the refrigerator bucket from being dislodged from the refrigerator frame due to vehicle vibrations when the refrigerator is closed, a rotatable locking tongue is typically provided at the bottom of the refrigerator bucket. A drive motor or drive assembly is then provided to rotate the locking tongue to engage or release the locking tongue from the refrigerator bucket. For example, when the refrigerator needs to be opened to access items, another drive motor or drive assembly drives the locking tongue to rotate until it is released from the refrigerator bucket. The refrigerator bucket is then manually pulled outward, or an additional motor is provided to drive the bucket outward, allowing the refrigerator bucket to be removed from the opening of the refrigerator frame for access.

[0078] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the scheme of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features therein can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0079] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0080] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, some embodiments of the present application provide a sliding assembly 1, including a shell 11, a slider 12 and a driving assembly 13. A sliding groove 111 is formed on the shell 11, a part of the slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the other part of the slider is arranged outside the sliding groove and has an abutment surface 123 intersecting with the extension direction of the sliding groove. The driving assembly is transmission-connected to the slider.

[0081] In a specific implementation, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the slider 12 includes a sliding portion 121 located within the chute and a pushing portion 122 protruding from the chute 111. The sliding portion 121 is slidably connected to the chute 111. The pushing portion 122 has an abutting surface 123 that intersects the extension direction of the chute 111. The drive assembly is in transmission connection with the slider 12. The extension direction of the chute 111 is consistent with the translation direction of the storage box. When the drive assembly drives the slider 12 to move within the chute 111, the abutting surface 123 abuts against one side of the storage box, thereby pushing the storage box out translationally.

[0082] The slider 12 may also include a sliding portion 121 slidably connected to the slide groove 111 and a pushing portion 122 (not shown in the figure) extending from the slide groove 111 at one end close to the storage box in the extension direction of the slide groove 111, that is, the pushing portion 122 and the sliding portion 121 are distributed along the extension direction of the slide groove.

[0083] The storage box of a car refrigerator is opened by a linear slide module (sliding assembly). The slider of the linear slide module is fixedly connected to the storage box, which means that the linear slide module needs to withstand loads in three directions, which places high demands on the structural strength of the linear slide rail. If the slide rail is made of plastic, the service life of the slide rail will be shortened. If the slide rail is made of metal, it will not only easily transfer heat between the inside and outside of the refrigerator, but also be expensive.

[0084] When the sliding assembly provided in some embodiments of the present application is in use, the chute 111 and slider 12 of the housing 11 primarily bear the load in the direction of the storage box's translation, and do not bear the load in the direction of the storage box's gravity or the load in a third direction. The storage box's gravity direction and the storage box's translational direction both intersect perpendicularly with the third direction. This reduces the structural strength requirements for the slider 2 and the chute 11 of the housing 1. Both the housing 1 and the slider 2 are made of plastic, reducing costs. This also prevents the chute 11 and slider 2 of the housing 1 from bearing unnecessary loads, thereby extending the service life of the sliding assembly.

[0085] In a specific implementation, the housing 11 may be embedded in the side wall of the vehicle refrigerator, and the slider 12 may be made of thermoplastic crystalline polymer POM (Polyoxymethylene).

[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the bottom wall of the chute 111 is recessed along the depth of the chute 111 to form an oil reservoir 112. The oil reservoir 112 extends in the same direction as the chute 111 and is filled with lubricating grease. Multiple oil reservoirs 112 may be provided, spaced apart along the width of the chute 111. A lubricating oil film forms on the bottom wall of the chute 111, ensuring smoother sliding of the sliding portion 121 within the chute 111.

[0087] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1 , a gap is provided between the side walls of the slide groove 111 on both sides along its width direction and the slider 12, so that the slider 12 does not rotate along its circumferential direction, while also avoiding friction caused by contact between the side walls of the slide groove 111 and the slider 12, thereby allowing the slider 12 to slide more smoothly in the slide groove 111.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the drive assembly 13 includes a screw rod 131 and a motor 132. A threaded hole is provided on the slider 12. The slider 12 is sleeved on the screw rod 131 through the threaded hole to form a screw-nut pair with the screw rod 131. Part of the screw rod 131 is located in the slide groove 111 and extends along the length direction of the slide groove 111. One end of the screw rod 131 is connected to the motor 132.

[0089] For example, a brass bushing 17 or a bearing is provided on the housing 11 at one end of the slide groove 111 , and the other end of the screw rod 131 is connected to the housing 11 through the brass bushing 17 or the bearing.

[0090] Considering the limited space inside the car refrigerator, the motor 132 is located outside the car refrigerator, and the motor 132 and the screw rod 131 are both made of metal. The screw rod 131 is located inside the car refrigerator. The low temperature environment inside the car refrigerator and the high temperature environment outside the car refrigerator can easily exchange heat through the screw rod 131 and the motor 132, resulting in "cold leakage" of the car refrigerator.

[0091] Therefore, in some embodiments, the drive assembly also includes a coupling sleeve 14, as shown in Figure 3, the coupling sleeve 14 is passed through the side wall of the vehicle refrigerator, and the output shaft of the motor 132 is connected to the screw rod 131 through the coupling sleeve 14. The thermal conductivity of the coupling sleeve 14 is smaller than the thermal conductivity of the screw rod 131 and the motor 132. The coupling sleeve 14 is made of plastic. In specific implementation, the material of the coupling sleeve 14 can be a composite material of PA6 (Polyamide 6, also known as nylon 6) and GF (Glass Fiber). Two blind holes extending along the axial direction of the screw rod 131 are formed on the coupling sleeve 14. The two blind holes are not connected. The output shaft of the motor 132 is inserted in one blind hole, and the end of the screw rod 131 is inserted in the other blind hole. That is to say, the coupling sleeve 14 with low thermal conductivity has a partition effect on the heat conduction between the motor 132 and the screw rod 131. The heat exchange between the low temperature environment inside the car refrigerator and the high temperature environment outside the car refrigerator is effectively reduced, thereby improving the effective utilization of energy.

[0092] Some embodiments of the present application further provide a storage box, which includes the above-mentioned sliding assembly. An abutment portion (not shown in the figure) is formed on one side of the lower portion of the storage box, and the abutment portion is used to abut against the abutment surface 123.

[0093] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, which includes the above-mentioned storage box.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5, a portion of the drive assembly is located outside the vehicle refrigerator, and another portion of the drive assembly penetrates into the interior of the vehicle refrigerator from the mounting hole on the vehicle refrigerator. The portion of the drive assembly located outside the vehicle refrigerator is covered with a mounting shell 133, and the mounting shell 133 is connected to the outer wall of the vehicle refrigerator. Exemplarily, a connecting portion 151 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting shell 133 along the radial extension of the screw rod 131, and the connecting portion 151 is connected to the outer wall of the vehicle refrigerator by a fastener. A connecting sleeve 15 is formed at a position corresponding to the mounting hole of the mounting shell 133, and the connecting sleeve 15 extends into the mounting hole. The connecting sleeve 15 is sleeved on the periphery of the coupling sleeve 14. The mounting shell 133 may include a first mounting shell and a second mounting shell connected to the connecting sleeve 15, and the first mounting shell and the second mounting shell are detachably connected to facilitate installation.

[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the mounting hole is tapered, with a tapered sealing sleeve 16 disposed between the mounting hole and the connecting sleeve 15 . The tapered sealing sleeve 16 is sealed to the mounting hole and the connecting sleeve 15 , respectively. This prevents gas or water vapor from passing through the mounting hole. The tapered sealing sleeve 16 can be made of rubber to absorb motor vibrations and effectively prevent heat exchange between the inside and outside of the refrigerator.

[0096] In practice, the diameter of the mounting holes gradually decreases along the thickness of the vehicle refrigerator's sidewalls from the outside to the inside. This is primarily because the inner wall of the vehicle refrigerator has other layered structures that facilitate refrigeration, making it difficult to create a large opening there. Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 15 and conical sealing sleeve 16 are inserted into the mounting holes from the outside of the vehicle refrigerator. This makes it easier to insert the connecting sleeve 15 and conical sealing sleeve 16 into the mounting holes by arranging the mounting holes from larger to smaller.

[0097] 8 , 14 , 18 , 22 and 23 , some embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle-mounted refrigerator, comprising the above-mentioned sliding assembly 1 , locking assembly 2 , refrigerator frame assembly 3 and refrigerator inner compartment 4 for storing items.

[0098] 12 to 17 , the refrigerator frame assembly 3 has an inner cavity 31 and an opening 32 communicating with the inner cavity 31 . The refrigerator bucket 4 is located in the inner cavity 31 and can move relative to the refrigerator frame assembly 3 in a direction toward the opening 32 or in a direction away from the opening 32 .

[0099] 8 and 27 , the locking assembly 2 is provided on the outer wall of the refrigerator bucket 4. Part of the locking assembly 2 can be rotated relative to the refrigerator bucket 4 to be locked with the refrigerator frame assembly 3 to limit the movement of the refrigerator bucket 4 toward the direction close to the opening 32, or rotated relative to the refrigerator bucket 4 to release the locking engagement with the refrigerator frame assembly 3.

[0100] 22 and 26 , at least a portion of the sliding assembly 1 is used to drive a portion of the locking assembly 2 to rotate until the locking engagement with the refrigerator frame assembly 3 is released, and then push the portion of the locking assembly 2 to move, thereby driving the refrigerator inner bucket 4 to move out of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 through the opening 32 .

[0101] In a specific implementation, the refrigerator frame assembly 3 may have an inner cavity 31 for accommodating the refrigerator compartment 4. An opening 32 communicating with the inner cavity 31 may be provided on one side of the refrigerator frame assembly 3. This allows the refrigerator compartment 4 to be pulled out through the opening 32 and out of the inner cavity 31 for easy access. At this point, the vehicle refrigerator is considered to be in the open state, as shown in Figures 28 and 29 . Alternatively, after accessing or placing items, the refrigerator compartment 4 can be pushed back into the inner cavity 31 through the opening 32. At this point, the vehicle refrigerator is considered to be in the closed state, as shown in Figure 18 .

[0102] For example, when the opening 32 is located on the right side of the refrigerator frame assembly 3, if the refrigerator inner compartment 4 is moved to the right, the refrigerator inner compartment 4 can be removed from the inner cavity 31 to open the vehicle refrigerator. If the refrigerator inner compartment 4 is moved to the left, the refrigerator inner compartment 4 can be retracted from the opening 32 into the inner cavity 31 to close the vehicle refrigerator.

[0103] In specific implementation, a locking assembly 2 is provided on the outer wall of the refrigerator bucket 4, and part of the locking assembly 2 can be rotated relative to the refrigerator bucket 4, so that it can be rotated to lock with the refrigerator frame assembly 3. At this time, the refrigerator bucket 4 cannot move toward the direction close to the opening 32 to be pulled out, thereby locking the refrigerator bucket 4 in a closed state; when the part of the locking assembly 2 is rotated relative to the refrigerator bucket 4 and rotated to release the locking cooperation with the refrigerator frame assembly 3, the refrigerator bucket 4 can be moved toward the direction close to the opening 32 to be pulled out, thereby realizing the opening operation of the vehicle-mounted refrigerator.

[0104] Exemplarily, the locking assembly 2 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the refrigerator bucket 4, and can be arranged at the end of the refrigerator bucket 4 away from the opening 32, so as to facilitate transmission cooperation with the driving assembly 1 located in the inner cavity 31, and then can be rotated and unlocked under the drive of the driving assembly 1, so that after the locking assembly 2 and the refrigerator frame assembly 3 are unlocked, they are driven by the driving assembly 1 to move toward the direction close to the opening 32, thereby driving the refrigerator bucket 4 to move toward the direction close to the opening 32 and finally move out of the inner cavity 31 through the opening 32.

[0105] For example, it can be configured that when the driving assembly 1 drives the locking assembly 2 to rotate clockwise, the locking assembly 2 can be released from the locking engagement with the refrigerator frame assembly 3. When the locking assembly 2 rotates counterclockwise, the locking assembly 2 can be re-locked with the refrigerator frame assembly 3.

[0106] Some embodiments of the present application include a vehicle refrigerator comprising a sliding assembly 1, a locking assembly 2, a refrigerator frame assembly 3, and a refrigerator compartment 4 for storing items. The refrigerator frame assembly 3 includes an inner cavity 31 and an opening 32 communicating with the inner cavity 31. The refrigerator compartment 4 is positioned within the inner cavity 31 and can move relative to the refrigerator frame assembly 3 toward or away from the opening 32. The locking assembly 2 is disposed on the outer wall of the refrigerator compartment 4. A portion of the locking assembly 2 can rotate relative to the refrigerator compartment 4 to lock with the refrigerator frame assembly 3, thereby restricting movement of the refrigerator compartment 4 toward the opening 32, or to release the locking assembly 2 from the refrigerator frame assembly 3. At least a portion of the sliding assembly 1 is positioned within the inner cavity 31 and in transmission engagement with the locking assembly 2. When the refrigerator compartment 4 needs to be moved out of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 through the opening 32 to open the vehicle refrigerator, the sliding assembly 1 can drive a portion of the locking assembly 2 to rotate and release the locking assembly 2 from the refrigerator frame assembly 3. When the sliding assembly 1 drives the locking assembly 2 to rotate until it is unlocked from the refrigerator frame assembly 3, so that the refrigerator bucket 4 can move, the sliding assembly 1 can continue to move by pushing the locking assembly 2, thereby driving the refrigerator bucket 4 to move and move out of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 through the opening 32, and then the unlocking and moving operations of the refrigerator bucket 4 can be achieved through a set of sliding assemblies 1, thereby simplifying the structure of the vehicle refrigerator and reducing costs.

[0107] 18 , 22 , 24 , 25 and 28 , in some embodiments, the sliding assembly 1 includes a motor 132 , a screw rod 131 and a slider 12 .

[0108] The motor 132 is in transmission cooperation with the screw rod 131, and the slider 12 is set on the screw rod 131 and is in transmission cooperation with the locking assembly 2; the motor 132 is used to rotate the screw rod 131, and drives the slider 12 to move relative to the screw rod 131 in a direction toward the opening 32, so as to push the locking assembly 2 to rotate and unlock, and then push the refrigerator inner bucket 4 to move.

[0109] In a specific implementation, the motor 132 is used to rotate the screw rod 131. The slider 2 is disposed on and cooperates with the screw rod 131, so that when the screw rod 131 rotates, it drives the slider 2 in its initial position to move along the axial direction of the screw rod 131. This allows the slider 12 to move until it contacts the locking assembly 2, thereby pushing the locking assembly 2 to rotate and unlock the refrigerator frame assembly 3. A schematic diagram of the slider 12 in its initial position can be seen in S1 of FIG28. After unlocking, the slider 12 continues to move, pushing the locking assembly 2 toward the opening 32, thereby driving the refrigerator compartment 4 connected to the locking assembly 2 toward the opening 32 and ultimately out of the interior cavity 31. At this point, a certain handle gap 7 is formed between the refrigerator compartment 4 and the refrigerator frame assembly 3, as shown in FIG28. At this point, the refrigerator compartment 4 can be considered to be in the first open position, i.e., the partially open position. At this time, the slider 2 has moved to its maximum travel position. A schematic diagram of the slider 2 in its maximum travel position can be seen in S2 of FIG28.

[0110] After a certain handle gap 7 is formed, the user can conveniently put his hand into the handle gap 7 and continue to pull the refrigerator drawer 4 outward so that the refrigerator drawer 4 can be in the second open position, that is, the fully open position, to facilitate taking and placing items, as shown in Figure 29.

[0111] When the items are taken in and out, the user manually pushes the refrigerator bucket 4 into the inner cavity 31 in the opposite direction to achieve the reset operation of the refrigerator bucket 4.

[0112] As shown in Figure 25, in some embodiments, a shell 11 is further provided outside the refrigerator bucket 4, and a slide groove 111 extending along the moving direction of the refrigerator bucket 4 is provided at a position corresponding to the slider 12 on the shell 11. The slider 12 can slide along the slide groove 111, thereby guiding the movement of the slider 12, and the slide groove 111 is fitted with the slider 12, which can also prevent the slider 12 from rotating around the screw rod 131.

[0113] In a specific implementation, a plurality of grooves may be provided on a side of the slide 111 that contacts the slider 12 , and the grooves are filled with grease, thereby lubricating the movement of the slider 12 and facilitating smooth sliding of the slider 12 .

[0114] In some embodiments, the screw rod 131 is a transmission screw, and the slider 12 is a transmission nut that cooperates with the transmission screw, so that when the transmission screw is rotated under the drive of the motor 132, the transmission nut disposed on the transmission screw can be driven to reciprocate along the transmission screw. Since in some embodiments of the present application, the motor 132 is primarily used to drive the refrigerator inner compartment 4 toward the direction near the opening 32 to achieve the opening operation, the motor 32 can drive the transmission screw to rotate and then drive the transmission nut toward the direction near the opening 32, thereby pushing the refrigerator inner compartment 4 toward the direction near the opening 32 to achieve the opening operation.

[0115] Of course, when the transmission nut needs to be reset, the driving direction of the motor 132 can be switched to drive the transmission screw to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the transmission nut can move in a direction away from the opening 32 until it is reset.

[0116] 6 to 9 , in some embodiments, a sliding base 5 that slides with the refrigerator bucket 4 is provided in the refrigerator frame assembly 3 , and the sliding base 5 can be locked or unlocked with the locking assembly 2 .

[0117] That is, the refrigerator frame assembly 3 is provided with a sliding base 5, and the refrigerator bucket 4 can slide with the sliding base 5, so that when the locking assembly 2 is locked with the sliding base 5, the refrigerator bucket 4 is locked and cannot slide relative to the sliding base 5 to be removed through the opening 32. When the locking assembly 2 is unlocked from the sliding base 5, the refrigerator bucket 4 can slide relative to the sliding base 5 and can eventually be removed through the opening 32.

[0118] Exemplarily, the sliding base 5 and the refrigerator frame assembly 3 can be connected by fasteners 6 such as bolts, and the fasteners 6 can be provided in plurality to improve the connection reliability.

[0119] 6 , 7 and 22 , in some embodiments, a locking surface 51 is provided at one end of the sliding base 5 away from the opening 32 , and the locking assembly 2 can be rotated to engage with the locking surface 51 to limit the movement of the refrigerator compartment 4 .

[0120] For example, the opening 32 may be provided on the right side of the refrigerator frame assembly 3. In this case, the end of the sliding base 5 away from the opening 32 may be considered the left end of the sliding base 5. In this case, the left end surface of the sliding base 5 may be formed as a locking surface 51. When the locking assembly 2 rotates counterclockwise until it engages with the locking surface 51, the locking assembly 2 and the sliding base 5 are locked together, thereby restricting the refrigerator inner bucket 4 from moving toward the direction approaching the opening 32. When the locking assembly 2 rotates counterclockwise under the push of the slider 2 and disengages from the locking surface 51, the locking assembly 2 and the sliding base 5 are released from the locking engagement, thereby allowing the refrigerator inner bucket 4 to move toward the direction approaching the opening 32.

[0121] Exemplarily, the locking surface 51 may be a plane, an inclined surface, or a curved surface.

[0122] 6 and 7 , in some embodiments, the sliding base 5 includes a sliding base 52 and a sliding rail assembly 53 disposed on the sliding base 52 .

[0123] The slide rail assembly 53 includes a first slide rail 531 and a second slide rail 532 that slides with the first slide rail 531 . The first slide rail 531 is connected to the slide base 52 , the second slide rail 532 is connected to the refrigerator inner bucket 4 , and the locking surface 51 is set on the slide base 52 .

[0124] In specific implementation, the sliding base 52 and the first slide rail 531 can be connected together by fasteners 6 such as bolts. At this time, the first slide rail 531 and the sliding base 52 can be considered to be relatively fixed. Then the second slide rail 532 and the refrigerator inner bucket 4 can be connected together by fasteners 6 such as bolts. At this time, the second slide rail 532 and the refrigerator inner bucket 4 can be considered to be relatively fixed, while the first slide rail 531 and the second slide rail 532 slide relatively, and the locking surface 51 is set on the sliding base 52.

[0125] When the locking assembly 2 is engaged with the locking surface 51, the refrigerator inner bucket 4 connected to the locking assembly 2 cannot move relative to the sliding base 52 in the direction toward the opening 32, that is, the second slide rail 532 cannot slide relative to the first slide rail 531 connected to the sliding base 52.

[0126] When the locking assembly 2 is disengaged from the locking surface 51, the refrigerator inner bucket 4 connected to the locking assembly 2 can move relative to the sliding base 52 in a direction toward the opening 32, that is, the second slide rail 532 can slide relative to the first slide rail 531 connected to the sliding base 52.

[0127] In a specific implementation, the sliding base 52 can be connected to the refrigerator frame assembly 3 or can also be connected to other components of the vehicle refrigerator. The sliding base 52 and the first slide rail 531 can be considered to be always fixed, while the second slide rail 532 can move with the refrigerator compartment 4, so that the second slide rail 532 can move relative to the first slide rail 531 along the movement direction of the refrigerator compartment 4.

[0128] Illustratively, the sliding base 52 , the first sliding rail 531 and the second sliding rail 532 may be made of alloy or plastic.

[0129] In specific implementation, in order to ensure the smooth movement of the refrigerator inner bucket 4, at least two slide rail assemblies 53 can be set, and at least two slide rail assemblies 53 are arranged at intervals perpendicular to the moving direction of the refrigerator inner bucket 4, so that the movement stability of the refrigerator inner bucket 4 can be improved through the sliding cooperation between at least two second slide rails 532 and at least two first slide rails 531.

[0130] Exemplarily, the number of the slide rail assemblies 53 may be two as shown in FIG1 . Alternatively, in other implementations, the number of the slide rail assemblies 53 may be three or more.

[0131] 6 and 28 to 30 , in some embodiments, a damper 54 is provided on the sliding base 5 for rolling engagement with the refrigerator bucket 4. The damper 54 and the refrigerator bucket 4 are rolled together so that the damper 54 can apply a damping force to the refrigerator bucket 4 in the opposite direction of movement of the refrigerator bucket 4, thereby preventing the refrigerator bucket 4 from making instantaneous large movements during movement and affecting the smoothness of movement of the refrigerator bucket 4.

[0132] For example, when the refrigerator compartment 4 moves toward the opening 32 to open, the damper 54 can apply a damping force to the refrigerator compartment 4 in a direction away from the opening 32. When the refrigerator compartment 4 moves away from the opening 32 to close, the damper 54 can apply a damping force to the refrigerator compartment 4 in a direction toward the opening 32.

[0133] Exemplarily, the damper 54 can be located at the bottom of the refrigerator bucket 4 and roll-fit with the bottom surface of the refrigerator bucket 4. Alternatively, the damper 54 can also be provided on the side of the refrigerator bucket 4.

[0134] In addition, the damper 54 may be a damping device commonly used in the prior art, and some embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0135] In addition, in order to ensure that the damper 54 can always fit in rolling engagement with the refrigerator inner bucket 4, a damper spring 57 can be provided at the bottom of the damper 54, so that the damper 54 can be pushed upward under the elastic action of the damper spring 57 so as to always maintain contact with the bottom wall of the refrigerator inner bucket 4.

[0136] 6 and 28 to 30 , in some embodiments, a first buffer member 55 is provided on the sliding base 5 , and the first buffer member 55 is used to cooperate with the refrigerator bucket 4 when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves to the outside of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 .

[0137] That is to say, as shown in Figure 29, when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves to the outside of the refrigerator frame assembly 3, when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves outward to the maximum open position, the first buffer member 55 cooperates with the refrigerator bucket 4 to avoid a hard collision between the refrigerator bucket 4 and the sliding base 5 during the process of being pulled out, thereby generating collision noise.

[0138] Exemplarily, the first buffer member 55 can be located at the left end of the sliding base 5 so as to abut against the refrigerator inner bucket 4 and limit the refrigerator inner bucket 4 to prevent the refrigerator inner bucket 4 from continuing to be pulled out and falling off after being fully pulled out.

[0139] Exemplarily, the first buffer component 55 may be, for example, a buffer pad or a buffer foam.

[0140] 6 and 28 to 30 , in some embodiments, a second buffer member 56 is provided on the sliding base 5 , and the second buffer member 56 is used to cooperate with the refrigerator bucket 4 when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves into the refrigerator frame assembly 3 .

[0141] That is to say, when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves inward, when the refrigerator bucket 4 moves to the closed position, the second buffer member 56 cooperates with the refrigerator bucket 4 to avoid a hard collision between the refrigerator bucket 4 and the sliding base 5 during the process of being pushed inward, thereby avoiding collision noise.

[0142] Exemplarily, the second buffer member 56 may be located at the right end of the sliding base 5 so as to abut against the refrigerator inner compartment 4 and limit the position of the refrigerator inner compartment 4 .

[0143] Exemplary, the second buffer member 56 can be a buffer pad or a spring buffer nail. In addition, when the second buffer member 56 is a spring buffer nail, the spring buffer nail can be clamped or screwed on the sliding base 5, and the second buffer member 56 can also be set to multiple.

[0144] 19 to 22 , in some embodiments, the locking assembly 2 includes a connecting member 21 and a locking member 22 .

[0145] The connecting member 21 is arranged on the inner bucket 4 of the refrigerator, and the locking member 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 21 and the locking member 22 is transmission-matched with the driving assembly 1 so as to rotate to lock or release the locking cooperation with the refrigerator frame assembly 3 under the drive of the driving assembly 1.

[0146] In specific implementation, the connecting member 21 is connected to the inner bucket 4 of the refrigerator and is relatively fixed, and the locking member 22 is arranged on the connecting member 21 and rotates with the connecting member 21, so that the driving component 1 can drive the locking member 22 to rotate to lock or release the locking cooperation with the refrigerator frame assembly 3.

[0147] Specifically, the connecting member 21 can be a connecting shaft, and part of the outer wall of the connecting shaft can be set to have a key groove or a protrusion to cooperate with the inner bucket 4 of the refrigerator, thereby limiting the rotation of the connecting shaft relative to the inner bucket 4 of the refrigerator, and the outer wall of the remaining part of the connecting shaft is a smooth outer wall, so that the locking member 22 can be mounted on this part of the outer wall to achieve rotational cooperation with the connecting shaft.

[0148] As shown in FIG21 , in some embodiments, the locking assembly 2 further includes an elastic member 23. The elastic member 23 is sleeved on the connecting member 21, and the two ends of the elastic member 23 respectively abut against the refrigerator inner bucket 4 and the locking member 22, so that the locking member 22 can rotate under the elastic force of the elastic member 23 until it is locked with the refrigerator frame assembly 3.

[0149] That is to say, when the refrigerator bucket 4 is in the closed state, the two ends of the elastic member 23 respectively press against the refrigerator bucket 4 and the locking member 22, thereby applying a counterclockwise rotational force to the locking member 22, thereby ensuring that the locking member 22 can be rotated to reliably lock with the refrigerator frame assembly 3 to prevent the refrigerator bucket 4 from sliding out easily.

[0150] Exemplarily, the elastic member 23 may be a torsion spring, for example.

[0151] 19 to 21 , in some embodiments, the locking member 22 is provided with a hook 221 , and the hook 221 can be engaged with or unlocked from the refrigerator frame assembly 3 .

[0152] That is, when the hook 221 engages the locking surface 51 of the sliding base 52 of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 as the locking member 22 rotates, the locking member 22 and the refrigerator frame assembly 3 are locked together to prevent the refrigerator inner compartment 4 from being removed. When the hook 221 is released from the locking surface 51 of the sliding base 52 of the refrigerator frame assembly 3 as the locking member 22 rotates, the locking member 22 and the refrigerator frame assembly 3 are released from the locking relationship to allow the refrigerator inner compartment 4 to be removed.

[0153] For example, the surface of the hook 221 that engages with the locking surface 51 can form a mating surface that matches the locking surface 51. For example, when the locking surface 51 is a flat surface, the mating surface of the hook 221 can also be a flat surface. Alternatively, when the locking surface 51 is an inclined surface, the mating surface of the hook 221 can be a matching inclined surface, thereby ensuring a reliable engagement between the two.

[0154] In some embodiments, there are at least two locking members 22, spaced apart along the length of the connector 21, and all of the locking members 22 are integrally connected. In other words, by locking or releasing the at least two locking members 22 from the refrigerator frame assembly 3, the locking reliability of the refrigerator compartment 4 can be further improved.

[0155] In addition, all the locking members 22 are connected as one, so that the movements of all the locking members 22 are synchronized, thereby ensuring that the refrigerator inner compartment 4 can be reliably switched to a locked state or an unlocked state.

[0156] 20 , the number of locking members 22 may be two or more, and all locking members 22 may be connected together via a connecting structure 24. The connecting structure 24 may be, for example, a connecting rod or a connecting shaft as shown in FIG20 .

[0157] 19 to 22 , in some embodiments, a first stop portion 41 is provided on the refrigerator inner bucket 4, and a second stop portion 222 is provided on the locking member 22. The second stop portion 222 can abut against the second stop portion 222 when the locking member 22 rotates along a preset direction to lock with the refrigerator frame assembly 3, so as to limit the locking member 22 from continuing to rotate along the preset direction.

[0158] For example, the counterclockwise rotation direction of the locking member 22 is set as the preset direction, and the locking member 22 can be locked with the refrigerator frame assembly 3 when rotating counterclockwise. Therefore, when the locking member 22 is rotated counterclockwise to lock with the refrigerator frame assembly 3, the first stop portion 41 just abuts against the second stop portion 222, thereby preventing the locking member 22 from continuing to rotate counterclockwise and causing excessive rotation.

[0159] For example, the first stop portion 41 can be a raised portion provided at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment 4, with the side of the raised portion facing the opening 32 forming a stop surface. An elastic pad is provided on a side of the locking member 22 adjacent to the stop surface, and the elastic pad abuts against the stop surface to restrict further rotation of the locking member 22 in a predetermined direction.

[0160] For example, the second stopping portion 222 and the hook 221 of the locking member 22 may be respectively arranged at intervals on both sides of the locking member 22 along the rotation direction of the locking member 22 .

[0161] 12 to 15 , in some embodiments, the refrigerator frame assembly 3 includes a refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 and a skeleton assembly 34 wrapped around the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 . The inner cavity 31 and the opening 32 are both arranged on the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 . The refrigerator inner bucket 4 can be stored in the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 or removed from the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 .

[0162] In addition, the skeleton assembly 34 and the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 can be connected and fixed by fasteners 7 such as bolts or can also be fixed by snapping.

[0163] As shown in Figure 18, in some embodiments, a mounting hole 341 is provided at a position on the skeleton assembly 34 corresponding to the sliding component 1, which allows part of the sliding component 1 to extend into the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33, so that part of the sliding component 1 can extend into the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 through the mounting hole 341 to perform transmission cooperation with the locking component 2.

[0164] Exemplarily, the mounting hole 341 can be located at the end of the skeleton assembly 34 away from the opening 32, that is, at the left end of the skeleton assembly 34, so as to facilitate the reasonable arrangement of the drive component 1 and to facilitate the drive component 1 to drive the refrigerator inner bucket 4 to move out through the opening 32.

[0165] For example, the sliding assembly 1 and the skeleton assembly 34 may also be connected by fasteners 6 such as bolts or by snap-connection.

[0166] In specific implementation, referring to Figures 12 and 13, the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 includes an outer shell 331, a back plate 332 and a front frame 333. An opening 32 is provided at one end of the outer shell 331, the back plate 332 is located at the end of the outer shell 331 away from the opening 32, the front frame 333 is located at the end of the outer shell 331 where the opening 32 is provided, and a through hole 334 communicating with the opening 32 is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 32 on the front frame 333, so that the refrigerator inner bucket 4 stored in the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 can be moved out through the opening 32 and the through hole 334 to realize the opening operation or pushed into the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 from the through hole 334 and the opening 32 to realize the closing operation.

[0167] In specific implementation, referring to Figures 14 and 15, the skeleton assembly 34 includes a first skeleton 342 and a second skeleton 343 arranged in sequence along the height direction of the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33. The first skeleton 342 and the second skeleton 343 enclose an installation cavity, and the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 is located in the installation cavity.

[0168] Exemplarily, the first frame 342 can be located above the second frame 343, the first frame 342 and the second frame 343 can be connected by fasteners 7 such as bolts, and the first frame 342 and the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 or the second frame 343 and the refrigerator inner frame assembly 33 can also be connected and fixed by fasteners 6 such as bolts.

[0169] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned vehicle refrigerator.
