Intelligent storage cabinet with constant temperature structure

This utility model discloses an intelligent locker with a constant temperature structure, including a cabinet body, an inner liner, a rear frame, and a folding plate assembly. The upper part of the front upper and lower center cross-sections of the cabinet body has two rows of first storage compartments for ambient temperature storage, and the lower part of the upper and lower center cross-sections has two rows of low-temperature storage compartments for constant temperature storage. A second placement slot is provided on the rear part of the cabinet body corresponding to the two rows of low-temperature storage compartments. This utility model achieves rapid cleaning of the interior of the low-temperature storage compartment by pulling out the rear frame from the low-temperature storage compartment and scraping and cleaning the inner wall of the inner liner through the outer contour of the rear frame, allowing the liquid inside the inner liner to flow out through the liquid collection tank. This solves the problem of cumbersome cleaning of the cabinet interior. A temperature-sensing gas delivery valve on the connecting box is used to sense the temperature inside the low-temperature storage compartment, thereby controlling whether cold air from the first delivery pipe flows into the low-temperature storage compartment to maintain a constant temperature.
