Description

Kühlbox für Kraftfahrzeug Cool box for motor vehicles
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlbox für Kraftfahrzeuge. Durch große Glasflächen und aufgrund aus aerodynamischen Gründen häufig flach angeordneter Windschutzscheiben heizen sich heutzutage in Kraftfahrzeuge, insbesondere Pkw bei Sonneneinstrahlung sehr stark auf. Gegenstände wie insbesondere Getränke oder Nahrungsmittel zum Verzehr durch die Fahrgäste des Kraftfahrzeugs werden dadurch innerhalb kurzer Zeit so stark erhitzt, dass sie eine zum Verzehr ungeeignete Temperatur aufweisen oder etwa im Falle von Schokolade zum Verzehr ungeeignet werden. Es besteht daher der Bedarf an einer einfachen, kostengünstigen und effektiven Kühlmöglichkeit für Gegenstände, insbesondere Getränke und Nahrungsmitteln in Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention relates to a cool box for motor vehicles. Due to large glass surfaces and due to aerodynamic reasons, windshields are often arranged flatly, motor vehicles, especially cars, heat up very strongly in direct sunlight. Objects such as, in particular, drinks or foodstuffs for consumption by the passengers of the motor vehicle are heated to such an extent within a short time that they have an unsuitable temperature for consumption or, for example, are unsuitable for consumption in the case of chocolate. There is therefore a need for a simple, inexpensive and effective cooling option for objects, in particular drinks and food in motor vehicles.
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine an einem Kraftfahrzeug entfernbar anbringbare Kühlbox vorgeschlagen, die Lüftungsschlitze zum Durchströmen von Kühlluft aus einer Klimaanlage des Kraftfahrzeugs durch die Kühlbox zum Kühlen von in der Kühlbox befindlichen Gegenständen aufweist. Mit der von der Klimaanlage gelieferten Kühlluft können die in der geschlossenen Kühlbox befindlichen Gegenstände schnell und effektiv auf eine insbesondere für Lebensmittel und Getränke geeignete Temperatur von zwischen ungefähr 5° Celsius und 20° Celsius gekühlt werden. Die Kühlluft strömt durch Lufteinlässe in die Kühlbox ein und aus Luftauslässen wieder aus dieser heraus, so dass die Kühlwirkung der Klimanlage für den Innenraum des Kraftfahrzeuges nicht beeintächtigt wird.According to the invention, a cool box that can be removably attached to a motor vehicle is proposed, which has ventilation slots for the flow of cooling air from an air conditioning system of the motor vehicle through the cool box for cooling objects located in the cool box. With the cooling air supplied by the air conditioning system, the objects in the closed cool box can be quickly and effectively cooled to a temperature of between approximately 5 ° Celsius and 20 ° Celsius, which is particularly suitable for food and beverages. The cooling air flows through air inlets into the cooling box and out of the air outlets again, so that the cooling effect of the air conditioning system for the interior of the motor vehicle is not impaired.
Vorzugsweise kann die Kühlbox keilförmig ausgebildet sein, um sie zwischen Windschutzscheibe und der Oberseite des Armaturenbrettes anzubringen, wo bei Kraftfahrzeugen in der Regel Luftauslässe der Klimanlage ausgebildet sind. Die Kühlluft strömt dann durch Einlassöffnungen in einem Bodenteil der Kühlbox ein und durch Auslassöffnungen in einem Deckelteil, das in den Fahrzeuginnenraum weist, wieder aus. Durch das Deckelteil kann die Kühlbox geöffnet und verschlossen werden und es können zu kühlende Gegenstände hineingelegt und entnommen werden. Alternativ kann die Külluft auch durch im Bodenteil der Kühlbox angeordnete Austrittsöffnungen ausströmen.Preferably, the cool box can be wedge-shaped in order to mount it between the windshield and the top of the dashboard, where air outlets of the air conditioning system are generally formed in motor vehicles. The cooling air then flows in through inlet openings in a bottom part of the cool box and out again through outlet openings in a cover part which points into the vehicle interior. The cooler can be opened and closed by the cover part and objects to be cooled can be placed and removed. Alternatively, the cooling air can also flow out through outlet openings arranged in the base part of the cool box.
Die zur Windschutzscheibe weisende Oberfläche der keilförmigen Kühlbox kann mit einer reflektierenden Oberflächenbeschichtung, die ein Aufheizen der Kühlbox durch Sonneneinstrahlung vermindert und/oder einer Beschriftung oder einem Logo versehen sein.The surface of the wedge-shaped cool box facing the windshield can be provided with a reflective surface coating, which prevents the cool box from heating up as a result of solar radiation and / or can be provided with lettering or a logo.
Zur Befestigung an der Windschutzscheibe können Saugnäpfe oder dgl. vorhanden sein.Suction cups or the like can be provided for fastening to the windshield.
Um eine Kühlwirkung auch im stehenden Kraftfahrzeug bei ausgeschalteter Klimaanlage noch für eine gewisse Zeit lang zu erhalten, kann eine Isolierschicht an der Innenseite der zur Windschutzscheibe weisenden Vorderwand der keilförmigen Kühlbox angebracht sein. Weiterhin können Kühlelemente hoher Wärmekapazität zur Speicherung der Kälte sowie verschließbare Lüftungsschlitze zu diesem Zweck vorgesehen sein.In order to maintain a cooling effect for a certain period of time even when the air conditioning system is switched off when the air conditioning system is switched off, an insulating layer can be attached to the inside of the front wall of the wedge-shaped cool box facing the windshield. Furthermore, cooling elements of high heat capacity for storing the cold as well as closable ventilation slots can be provided for this purpose.

Fig. 1 zeigt in Seitenansicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Kühlbox für Kraftfahrzeuge. Die Kühlbox ist keilförmig ausgebildet und zwischen einer Oberseite des Armaturenbretts und der Windschutzscheibe 21 des Kraftfahrzeugs mittels geeigneter Befestigungsmitttel, beispielsweise mittels Saugnäpfen 7 angebracht und befestigt. Jede andere Befestigungsvariante an der Windschutzscheibe oder am Armaturenbrett ist jedoch ebenso denkbar.Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the cool box according to the invention in a perspective view. Fig. 1 shows a side view of an embodiment of the cool box according to the invention for motor vehicles. The cool box is wedge-shaped and is attached and fastened between an upper side of the dashboard and the windshield 21 of the motor vehicle by means of suitable fastening means, for example by means of suction cups 7. However, any other fastening variant on the windshield or on the dashboard is also conceivable.
Die Kühlbox 10 ist zur Anpassung an die Neigung der Windschutzscheibe 21 keilförmig ausgebildet, wobei zwischen Bodenteil 1 und Vorderwand 2 der Kühlbox ein spitzer Winkel α eingeschlossen wird. Beidseitig von Bodenteil und Vorderteil sind Seiteteile 3 vorgesehen, die zusammen mit dem offen- und verschließbaren Deckelteil 4 einen geschlossenen Hohlraum bilden, in dem zu kühlende Gegenstände 30 wie beispielsweise eine Getränkedose oder -flasche untergebracht und gekühlt werden können. Im Bodenteil 1 sind Luftschlitze 5 ausgeformt, durch die Kühlluft von einem Luftauslass 20 der Klimaanlage des Kraftfahrzeugs in die Kühlbox strömen kann. Die Kühlluft umströmt dann den zu kühlenden Gegenstand 30 und entweicht aus den im Deckelteil 4 der Kühlbox ausgeformten Luftschlitzen 6. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Luftschlitze 5 zum Einströmen der Kühlluft (Lufteinlassöffnungen) quer und die Luftauslassöffnungen 6 im Deckelteil 4 längs zur Längsachse der Kühlbox ausgebildet, wie insbesondere in Figur 2 gut sichtbar ist. Eine andere Anordnung der Luftschlitze ist jedoch ebenso möglich.The cool box 10 is wedge-shaped to adapt to the inclination of the windshield 21, an acute angle α being included between the base part 1 and the front wall 2 of the cool box. Side parts 3 are provided on both sides of the base part and front part, which together with the openable and closable cover part 4 form a closed cavity in which objects 30 to be cooled, such as a beverage can or bottle, can be accommodated and cooled. Air slots 5 are formed in the base part 1, through which cooling air can flow from an air outlet 20 of the air conditioning system of the motor vehicle into the cool box. The cooling air then flows around the object 30 to be cooled and escapes from the air slots 6 formed in the cover part 4 of the cool box. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the air slots 5 are designed to flow in the cooling air (air inlet openings) transversely and the air outlet openings 6 in the cover part 4 are formed longitudinally to the longitudinal axis of the cool box , as can be seen particularly well in FIG. 2. A different arrangement of the louvers is also possible.
Bei dem in Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Deckelteil 4 als Schiebedeckel ausgebildet, was eine leichte und kostengünstige Herstellbarkeit der Kühlbox 10 ermöglicht. Andere Deckeltypen wie etwa ein Klappdeckel sind jedoch ebenfalls denkbar.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the cover part 4 is designed as a sliding cover, which enables the cool box 10 to be manufactured easily and inexpensively. However, other types of lids, such as a hinged lid, are also conceivable.

An der Innenseite der der Windschutzscheibe 21 zugewandten Vorderwand 2 kann eine Isolierschicht 9 ausgebildet sein, um eine bessere Isolierung des Innenraums der Kühlbox gegenüber der ggf. warmen Windschutzscheibe zu ermöglichen. Darüber hinaus können Kühlelemente 8 zur Speicherung der Kälte sowie verschließbare Luftschlitze, insbesondere die Luftauslässe vorgesehen sein, um einen Kühleffekt für eine gewisse Zeitdauer auch nach ausgeschalteter Klimaanlage zu erreichen. Die genannten Mittel haben jedoch zur Folge, dass die Herstellung der Kühlbox insgesamt aufwendiger und teurer wird.The cool box 10 is preferably made of plastic. This enables inexpensive production. However, other materials are also possible. An insulating layer 9 can be formed on the inside of the front wall 2 facing the windshield 21 in order to enable better insulation of the interior of the cool box from the possibly warm windshield. In addition, cooling elements 8 for storing the cold and closable air slots, in particular the air outlets, can be provided in order to achieve a cooling effect for a certain period of time even after the air conditioning system has been switched off. However, the means mentioned result in the production of the cool box becoming more complex and expensive overall.
Darüber hinaus kann auf der der Windschutzscheibe zugewandten Oberfläche der Vorderwand 2 der Kühlbox eine reflektierende Oberflächenbeschichtung vorhanden sein, um ein Aufheizen durch Sonnenausstrahlung zu verringern. An dieser Oberfläche kann außerdem eine Beschriftung oder ein Logo zu Werbezwecken angebracht sein, dass durch die Windschutzscheibe gut sichtbar ist. Auch auf dem Deckel 4 kann zwischen den Luftauslässen 6 eine Werbebeschriftung angebracht werden.In addition, a reflective surface coating can be present on the surface of the front wall 2 of the cool box facing the windshield in order to reduce heating due to solar radiation. A label or logo for advertising purposes can also be attached to this surface so that it is clearly visible through the windshield.
