Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The embodiments herein generally relate to frunks in vehicles and more particularly, to an integrated temperature regulating frunk for a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[002] Generally, a frunk is a front-end storage space which is used for storing charging cables and other accessories in an electric vehicle. Some vehicles have refrigerated center console for cooling any of eatables or drinkables or any other miscellaneous articles that are kept inside it. Other vehicles have a second row refrigerated console. Further, some more vehicles have dashboard cool boxes that use cool air from an air conditioning system to cool the inside of it. However, the storage space in the refrigerated center console or the dashboard cool boxes is limited due to space constraints in the vehicle. Though the frunk provides more storage space, storing eatables or drinkables in the frunk over a long time period may be problematic due to non-availability or difficulty in integrating a temperature regulating system in the frunk.
[003] Therefore, there exists a need for an integrated temperature regulating frunk for a vehicle, which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks.

a frunk casing insulator (407) adapted to be affixed to one of an inner portion or an outer portion of said second frunk casing (404) thereby insulating said second frunk casing (404);
a first temperature sensor (410) adapted to detect and communicate actual temperature of said first frunk casing (402) to said controller unit (40C),
wherein
said controller unit (40C) is configured to:
receive at least one user defined temperature input from at least one user interface module (40U);
receive actual temperature of said first frunk casing (402) from said temperature sensor (410);
calculate temperature required in said first frunk casing (402) based on said user defined temperature input, solar load and ambient temperature; and
operate said heater module (406) to heat said first frunk casing (402) through said temperature regulating fluid (40W) to maintain said first frunk casing (402) at the calculated required temperature.

15. The frunk (400) as claimed in claim 14, wherein said frunk (400) comprises a second temperature sensor (412) adapted to detect and communicate temperature of said temperature regulating fluid (40W) to said controller unit (40C),
wherein
said controller unit (40C) is configured to switch OFF electric current supply to said heater module (406) when the temperature of said temperature regulating fluid (40W) reaches a predefined temperature threshold;
said temperature regulating fluid is at least water;
said first frunk casing (402) is an inner frunk casing; and
said second frunk casing (404) is an outer frunk casing.
