As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the car refrigerator 1 provided by the present utility model includes a refrigerator body 10, a refrigerating chamber 20 and a refrigerating mechanism 30 disposed in the refrigerator body 10.


The refrigerating chamber 20 includes a bottom wall 21, two opposite side walls 22 extending vertically upward from the bottom wall 21, a top wall 23 disposed in parallel with and spaced from the bottom wall 21, and a first wall 24 and a second wall 25 disposed between the bottom wall 21 and the top wall 23. The first wall 24 is obliquely disposed. Specifically, the included angle ∠α between the first wall 24 and the bottom wall 21 is an obtuse angle, and the degree of ∠α is between 130° and 140°, preferably 135°.


Compared with a common refrigerator with a cuboid refrigerator, the car refrigerator 1 of the present utility model is designed with the inclined first wall 24, so that the car refrigerator 1 and the refrigerating cha 20 therein can be adapted to the space inside the vehicle, specifically the space between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, thereby maximizing the volume of the refrigerator 20 and improving the capacity of the car refrigerator 1.


In this embodiment, a first groove 240 is formed at the junction of the first wall 24 and the bottom wall 21. Preferably, the included angle 2B between the surface of the first groove 240 connected with the first wall 24 and the surface connected with the bottom wall 21 is approximately 90°. In this way, when it is necessary to refrigerate beverages, beverage containers such as kettles and wine bottles can be placed on the first wall 24 obliquely, and the bottom of the beverage container can abut against the first groove 240, so that the inclined first wall 24 can be used to support the beverage container to be placed obliquely, and the car refrigerator 1 can accommodate high beverage containers, without the need to worry about the possibility that beverage containers fall down due to braking or bumping of the vehicle. Further, the surface of the first wall 24 is provided with two elongated grooves 241 disposed in parallel and at intervals, so that there will be no collision between two beverage containers placed on the first wall 24 side by side.


In an improved embodiment, two sides of the first wall 24 are also provided with clamping grooves 242, and when small articles need to be placed, an organizer, such as a hanging basket, can be clamped with the clamping grooves 242. It can be appreciated that the organizer and the first wall 24 can also be connected by magnetic attraction.


On the other hand, the second wall 25 is step-shaped, and includes a lower part 251 connected to the bottom wall 21, an upper part 253 connected to the top wall 23, and a platform part 252 connected to the lower part 251 and the upper part 253. The refrigerating mechanism 30 is located above the platform part 252, and the accommodating space 250 is located below the platform part 252. In this embodiment, the accommodating space 250 is provided with a movable ice shelf. Since the accommodating space 250 is located directly below the refrigerating mechanism, the refrigerating effect at this position is the best. The ice shelf is placed in the accommodating space 250 as a drawer, and there can be two sections of cold storage and freezing in the car refrigerator 1.


The refrigerating mechanism 30 includes a compressor 31 and a fan 32. The compressor 31 and the fan 32 are disposed substantially side by side above the platform part 252 and located outside the refrigerating chamber 20. The refrigerating mechanism 30 is disposed on the platform part 252, which makes full use of the space of the refrigerator body 10, so that the car refrigerator 1 is compact while having a large capacity.


The refrigerating mechanism 30 further includes a power adapter 33 that is point-linked with the compressor 31 and the fan 32. The car refrigerator 1 further includes a refrigerator body fitting 40 that is detachably connected with the refrigerator body 10. The power adapter 33 is accommodated in the refrigerator body fitting 40, that is, the power adapter 33 does not occupy the space inside the refrigerator body 10.


In order to facilitate heat dissipation of the refrigerating mechanism 30, the refrigerator body 10 and the refrigerator body fittings 40 jointly form a heat dissipation structure 50. Specifically, the refrigerator body 10 is provided with a first ventilation hole 51 near the compressor 31, and a second ventilation hole 52 near the fan 32. The refrigerator body fitting 40 is provided with a third ventilation hole 53 near the first ventilation hole 51 and a fourth ventilation hole 54 near the second ventilation hole 52. A first baffle 11 is provided between the first ventilation hole 51 and the second ventilation hole 52, and a second baffle 41 is provided between the third ventilation hole 53 and the fourth ventilation hole 54. When the fan 32 is started, air enters the refrigerator body fitting 40 from outside the refrigerator body fitting 40 through the fourth ventilation hole 54, then enters the refrigerator body 10 through the second ventilation hole 52, flows through the compressor 31, enters the refrigerator body fitting 40 with the heat of the compressor 31 through the first ventilation hole 51, and then is discharged through the third ventilation hole 53.


In this embodiment, since the compressor 31 and the fan 32 are located in the upper space in the refrigerator body 10, the refrigerator body fitting 40 is located roughly below the compressor 31 and the fan 32, the first ventilation hole 51 and the second ventilation hole 52 are located on the extension surface 2521 of the platform part 252, and the third ventilation hole 53 and the fourth ventilation hole 54 are located on both sides of the refrigerator body fitting 40. That is, the air enters the refrigerator body fitting 40 from one side of the refrigerator body fitting 40, passes upward through the extension surface of the platform part 252 to enter the refrigerator body 10, and then passes down through the extension surface 2521 of the platform part 252 to enters the refrigerator body fitting 40 and is discharged from the other side.


As shown in FIG. 5, in an improved embodiment, the refrigerator body fitting 40 has a guide surface 42 for guiding the direction of air flow. The guide surface 42 is an inclined surface extending obliquely upward from below the third ventilation hole 53 and the fourth ventilation hole 54 towards the second baffle 41.


It can be appreciated that in other embodiments, the compressor 31 and the fan 32 can be located on the same plane as the refrigerator body fitting 40. In this case, the first ventilation hole 51 and the second ventilation hole 52 can be disposed on the surface of the compressor 31 and the fan 32 facing the refrigerator body fitting 40. As long as the refrigerator body fitting 40 with the third ventilation hole 53 and the fourth ventilation hole 54 is used to assist the compressor 31 to dissipate heat, it belongs to the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.


Further, as shown in FIGS. 6-8, the refrigerator body 10 includes a pivotable refrigerator door 12 disposed at the top, and the rotating shaft 13 of the refrigerator door 12 is close to the first wall 24. In this embodiment, the car refrigerator 1 is located between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, the first wall 24 is located close to the front of the car, and the second wall 25 is close to the driver, so the door opening direction of the refrigerator door 12 allows the driver to conveniently observe and take articles in the refrigerator.


The rotating shaft 13 is a damping rotating shaft, and the refrigerator door 12 can suspend when pivoting around the rotating shaft 13, that is, when the user can lift the refrigerator door 12 to any height by hand, the refrigerator door 12 can stay at that height.


Preferably, the included angle between the refrigerator door 12 and the top surface of the refrigerator body 10 is between 0° and 60°.


It can be appreciated that the surface of the refrigerator door 12 facing the refrigerating chamber 20 is actually at least a part of the top wall 23 of the refrigerating chamber 20, and the top of the refrigerator body 10 is also provided with a display control panel 14 for the driver to control the car refrigerator 1.
