Description

[0002] The storage of red wine generally requires storage at a humidity of 55%-75% to achieve a better storage effect. One of the existing wine cabinet products is to use a simple water collection box or add humidification materials such as volcanic rocks and non-woven fabrics to the water box, and use the passive method of natural evaporation of water to increase the humidity in the wine cabinet. The passive humidification method cannot control the humidity in the box, and the humidity in the box fluctuates greatly. The other is to use the wind blown by the humidification fan to drive the moisture from the humidification cover to the internal space of the liner. Due to space limitations or in order to improve the uniformity of humidity, the area where the humidification material is set is generally elongated, and the humidification fan is set at one end of the humidification material. Most of the wind is blown away from the end close to the humidification fan, resulting in less gas blown out from the area far away from the humidification fan, that is, there is more moisture residue at the end of the humidification material far away from the humidification fan, resulting in a problem of low humidification efficiency.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] In low temperature environments, the humidity inside refrigeration equipment tends to drop to a low level, causing the moisture on the surface of items to evaporate, causing the items to dry out and deteriorate in quality. The humidification component releases water vapor or atomized water droplets to increase the humidity inside the equipment, thereby keeping the items moist and preventing them from being damaged by drying out.

[0027] Take the wine cabinet as an example. The humidification component in the wine cabinet is designed to maintain a suitable humidity environment in the wine cabinet. Red wine in particular needs to be stored at a constant humidity to prevent the cork from drying out and the wine from evaporating, thus maintaining the taste and quality of the wine. In simple terms, the humidification component of the wine cabinet ensures that the wine will not change its taste due to the dry environment.

[0028] The active humidification type humidification component generally includes a humidification fan and a water storage tank. Water or humidification materials such as volcanic rocks and non-woven fabrics containing water are placed in the water storage tank. The humidification fan is located at one end of the water storage tank and blows air toward the other end of the water storage tank. The high-humidity air in the water storage tank is brought to the wine cabinet through the humidification fan. The long strip water storage tank design lengthens the length of the water storage tank, making the water surface area larger, which helps to increase the evaporation rate of water. During the humidification process, more water molecules can be exposed to the air, thereby accelerating evaporation. However, since the humidification component has only one air outlet, that is, the air outlet is continuous and uninterrupted, and the size and position of the air outlet correspond to the size and position of the water storage tank, most of the wind blown by the humidification fan tends to flow out from the end of the air outlet close to the humidification fan, resulting in only a small part of the wind blown by the humidification fan reaching the other end of the water storage tank, the water in the water storage tank evaporates unevenly, and the water utilization rate is low, thereby reducing the humidification efficiency.

[0029] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 10 It is described how the humidifying assembly 100 and the refrigeration device according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above problems.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that a humidification component 100 of an embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 101, a water storage component 102, a first fan 103 and a cover plate 104, and a first mounting groove 105 and a second mounting groove 106 are provided in the shell 101, and a partition bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. The partition bar 107 is located at the bottom position of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, so that the bottom of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 cannot be connected, while the top of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 can be connected. The first fan 103 is arranged in the first mounting groove 105, and the water storage member 102 is arranged in the second mounting groove 106. The water storage member 102 includes humidifying materials such as volcanic rock and non-woven fabric, that is, the humidifying material can be a porous dense structure water-absorbing material. The diameter and volume of the holes on the porous dense structure water-absorbing material are smaller than the diameter and volume of the water droplets that normally drip, so that the water droplets cannot flow through the porous dense structure water-absorbing material, and the air flow can pass through at the same time. The airflow blown out by the first fan 103 enters the second mounting groove 106 from above the partition bar 107, contacts with the humidifying material and takes away the moisture stored in the humidifying material, thereby forming high-humidity air. The cover plate 104 is connected to the housing 101 and is located above the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. There is a gap between the cover plate 104 and the water storage member 102 to form a humidification channel. A plurality of first air outlets 108 arranged at intervals are arranged on the cover plate 104, and the high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of first air outlets 108 respectively. When the first fan 103 is powered on and works, relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 and accelerated. The dry air quickly passes through the surface of the humidifying material, and the air with high humidity on the surface of the humidifying material is quickly taken away from the first air outlet 108 on the cover plate 104 to the target space to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the target space. After the humid air above the humidifying material is taken away, it can quickly absorb the moisture at the bottom of the water storage part 102 and evaporate to the top (the water vapor density is small), so that the air above the humidifying material remains in a high humidity state. Since the multiple first air outlets 108 are arranged at intervals in the direction away from the first fan 103, the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 108 is small, so that the high humidity air cannot be concentrated from the first air outlets 108 close to the first fan 103. More high humidity air will flow in the direction away from the first fan 103, so that more moisture stored in the humidifying material can be taken away, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0031] It should be noted that the water storage member 102 may also include a water box, in which liquid is stored, and the top of the water box is open, so that the liquid in the water box contacts the airflow blown out by the first fan 103. The water box can be separately arranged in the second mounting groove 106, that is, the water box can be an independent component. The water box can also be integrally formed with the housing 101 and become a part of the housing 101. The water storage member 102 can also be a humidifier, such as an ultrasonic humidifier or a steam (thermal evaporation) humidifier, wherein the ultrasonic humidifier uses a high-frequency vibrating ultrasonic transducer (usually a ceramic or metal element) to atomize water into micron-sized particles, and then blows the water mist into the air through a fan. This technology does not generate heat, so it is called a "cold mist" humidifier. A steam humidifier heats water to boiling through a heating element to generate steam, and then releases the steam into the air. This type of humidifier is also called a "hot mist" humidifier.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 includes an air outlet area B, and along the direction away from the first fan 103, the air outlet area B is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108. Along the direction away from the first fan 103, multiple air outlet units are defined as air outlet unit b1, air outlet unit b2, air outlet unit b3, air outlet unit b4, air outlet unit b5, air outlet unit b6, and air outlet unit b7 in sequence. The air outlet volume of air outlet unit b2 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b1, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b3 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b2, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b4 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b3, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b5 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b4, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b6 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b5, and the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b7 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b6, so that the air outlet volume of air outlet area B increases along the direction away from the first fan 103, so that more airflow passes through the end of the humidification material away from the first fan 103, increases the contact area and contact time between the humidification material and the airflow, and thus makes the humidity of the airflow blown out by the humidification component 100 higher.

[0033] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are different, and the farther away from the first fan 103, the larger the air outlet area of ​​the corresponding first air outlet 108. Specifically, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b1, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b2, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b4 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b3, and the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b5 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b6. The air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b4, the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b5, and the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b7 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6, thereby ensuring that the humid air of the entire humidification material is more fully taken away.

[0034] It can be understood that the air volume of the two first air outlets 108 farthest from the first fan 103 accounts for 55% to 70% of the total air volume of the air outlet area B, that is, Figure 3 The air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 108 of the middle air outlet unit b7 and the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b6 account for 55% to 70% of the total air volume of the air outlet area B. More than half of the air volume flows out from the last two first air outlets 108, so that most of the air flow is fully in contact with the surface of the water storage member 102 before being blown out to the target space, thereby increasing the humidity entering the target space and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that the number of the first air outlets 108 in the air outlet area B can also be 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or more.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are the same, and the distance between two adjacent first air outlets 108 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first fan 103, so that in the direction away from the first fan 103, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1, and the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2. For example, Figure 3As shown, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, and the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3. And along the direction away from the first fan 103, the distances between two adjacent first air outlets 108 are respectively divided into L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5, satisfying: L1>L2>L3>L4>L5. As a result, the airflow blown out from the first fan 103 is less in the air outlet unit b1, and more is blown out from the air outlet unit b3. The airflow blown out from the air outlet unit b3 basically contacts the surface of the humidification material in the length direction, so that most of the blown airflow has a higher humidity. The airflow blown out of the air outlet units b1 and b2 can increase the overall air volume and humidity of the humidification component 100.

[0037] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, along the direction away from the first fan 103, the air outlet area B is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108. The first air outlet 108 of each air outlet unit is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, and all the first air outlets 108 may be the same or different. Along the direction away from the first fan 103, the number of first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit gradually increases. For example, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, and the two first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3, and the three first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units. This embodiment is similar to Figure 4 Compared with the embodiment shown in the figure, the same thing is that the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit is increased in the direction away from the first fan 103, and the difference is Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units. In this embodiment, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units. This embodiment can also achieve that the air volume at the end away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air volume at the end close to the first fan 103, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0038] It should be noted that, in order to achieve that the air volume at the end away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air volume at the end close to the first fan 103, the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 108 can be increased in the direction away from the first fan 103, or the number of first air outlets 108 can be increased in the direction away from the first fan 103. In addition to increasing the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 108 Figure 3The length of the first air outlet 108 is increased along the direction perpendicular to the arrangement of the air outlet units, and the width of the first air outlet 108 can also be increased along the arrangement of the air outlet units. Figure 4 The number of the first air outlets 108 is increased along the straight line as shown, and the number of the first air outlets 108 can also be increased along a curve or other route. The above illustrated embodiments are only for ease of understanding and are not specifically limited herein.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 includes a closed area A, an air inlet 112 is provided on the cover plate 104, the first fan 103 sucks air through the air inlet 112, and the closed area A is located between the first fan 103 and the air outlet area B. The closed area A is not provided with an air outlet, so that the air outlet area B is far away from the air inlet 112, reducing the probability that the humid air is sucked back into the first fan 103 just after being blown out from the air outlet area B.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the distance between the cover plate 104 and the surface of the humidifying material is h, and h satisfies 10mm≤h≤15mm; or, the water storage part 102 has liquid, and the distance between the cover plate 104 and the surface of the liquid is h, and h satisfies 10mm≤h≤15mm. When h is less than 10mm, the cross-sectional area through which the airflow passes is small, the air volume is small, and the noise may increase. When the airflow blows onto the liquid surface, the waves that may be blown up may block the wind, and even water droplets may be blown out of the first air outlet 108, and the target space may be soaked with water. When h is greater than 15mm, the cross-sectional area through which the airflow passes is large, the wind speed is low, and the air volume of the airflow reaching the end of the water storage part 102 away from the first fan 103 is small, which reduces the humidification efficiency. When 10mm≤h≤15mm, it can ensure that the airflow has a larger wind speed, the noise is also smaller, and the humidification efficiency is high.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 includes a connecting air duct 109, which is used to guide the air flow blown out by the first fan 103 to the outer surface of the water storage member 102. The connecting air duct 109 is provided with a first pipe opening 110 and a second pipe opening 201, the first pipe opening 110 is connected to the outlet of the first fan 103, and the second pipe opening 201 is toward the gap between the cover plate 104 and the water storage member 102. The first fan 103, the connecting air duct 109 and the water storage member 102 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 101. The outlet size of the first fan 103 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 105 in the height direction of the shell 101, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 105 in the width direction of the shell 101, so that the outlet of the first fan 103 is concentrated on one side in the width direction and maintains a large air volume in the height direction. Since a partition bar 107 is correspondingly provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the water storage component 102 has a certain height, in the height direction of the shell 101, the height of the first pipe opening 110 is greater than the height of the second pipe opening 201, and the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the gap between the cover plate 104 and the water storage component 102. In the width direction of the shell 101, the width of the second pipe opening 201 is greater than the width of the first pipe opening 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the humidification material of the water storage component 102 and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0042] Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 of another embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 101, a water storage member 102, a first fan 103 and an air distribution duct 501. A first mounting groove 105 and a second mounting groove 106 are provided in the shell 101. A partition bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. The partition bar 107 is located at the bottom of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, so that the bottoms of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 cannot be connected, while the tops of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 can be connected. The first fan 103 is arranged in the first mounting groove 105, and the water storage member 102 is arranged in the second mounting groove 106. The water storage member 102 includes humidification materials such as volcanic rock and non-woven fabrics. The airflow blown out by the first fan 103 enters the second mounting groove 106 from above the partition bar 107, contacts the humidification material, and takes away the moisture stored in the humidification material, thereby forming high-humidity air. The air distribution duct 501 is connected to the first fan 103 and is provided with a plurality of third air outlets 601 , all of which face the water storage component 102 , i.e. the conveying airflow generated by the first fan 103 is divided into a plurality of branch airflows through all the third air outlets 601 and then passes through the water storage component 102 .

[0043] It should be noted that the water storage member 102 may also be a water box, in which liquid is stored, and the top of the water box is open, so that the liquid in the water box contacts the airflow blown out by the first fan 103. The water box may be separately arranged in the second mounting groove 106, that is, the water box may be an independent component. The water box may also be integrally formed with the housing 101 and become a part of the housing 101. The water storage member 102 may also be a humidifier, such as an ultrasonic humidifier or a steam (thermal evaporation) humidifier.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that, among any two third air outlets 601, the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 far away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 close to the first fan 103. That is, the air outlet areas of all the third air outlets 601 are different, and the trend of change is increasing in the direction away from the first fan 103. Among them, the wind pressure in the air distribution duct 501 is also uneven, the closer to the first fan 103, the greater the wind pressure, and the farther away from the first fan 103, the smaller. The wind pressure is proportional to the square of the wind speed, which can be specifically expressed by the Bernoulli equation. Specifically, the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 at one end of the air distribution duct 501 close to the first fan 103 is the smallest, but its wind speed is the largest. The air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 at one end of the air distribution duct 501 far away from the first fan 103 is the largest, but the wind speed is the smallest. In this way, the difference in air volume of each third air outlet 601 is small, so that the air flow blown out by the fan can maintain a relatively uniform contact with the entire humidification material, making the humidity distribution of the air outlet of the humidification component 100 more uniform.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 includes a connecting duct 109. In this embodiment, the connecting duct 109 is used to guide the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 to the air distribution duct 501. The connecting duct 109 is provided with a first pipe opening 110 and a second pipe opening 201, the first pipe opening 110 is connected to the outlet of the first fan 103, and the second pipe opening 201 is connected to the air distribution duct 501. The first fan 103, the connecting duct 109 and the air distribution duct 501 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 101, and the air distribution duct 501 is arranged on one side of the width direction of the shell 101 and is located above the water storage member 102. The outlet size of the first fan 103 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 105 in the height direction of the shell 101, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 105 in the width direction of the shell 101, so that the outlet of the first fan 103 is concentrated on one side in the width direction and maintains a large air volume in the height direction. Correspondingly, a partition bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the water storage member 102 has a certain height. Therefore, in the height direction of the shell 101, the height of the first pipe opening 110 is greater than the height of the second pipe opening 201, and the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the air distribution duct 501. In the width direction of the shell 101, the width of the second pipe opening 201 is smaller than the width of the first pipe opening 110, thereby reducing the occupied space of the air distribution duct 501, and the airflow blown out from the air distribution duct 501 can contact a larger area of ​​humidification material, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0046] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the distance between two adjacent third air outlets 601 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first fan 103, so that the purpose of making the air volume of each length unit of the air distribution duct 501 uniform can be achieved by gradually increasing the number of third air outlets 601 in the direction away from the first fan 103. In addition, the air outlet area of ​​a single third air outlet 601 is increased. Figure 6 The width of the third air outlet 601 is increased along the length direction perpendicular to the air distribution duct 501, and the length of the third air outlet 601 can also be increased along the length direction of the air distribution duct 501. In addition to increasing the number of the third air outlets 601 along the length direction of the air distribution duct 501, the number of the third air outlets 601 can also be increased along the width of the third air outlet 601. The above illustrated embodiments are only for easy understanding and are not specifically limited here. Reference Figures 5 to 7As shown, it can be understood that a plurality of equally spaced partitions 502 are further provided in the housing 101, and the plurality of partitions 502 are arranged along the length direction of the air distribution duct 501, that is, arranged in a direction away from the first fan 103. One or more third air outlets 601 are provided between every two partitions 502, so that an independent humidification unit is formed between every two partitions 502, and the function of the partition 502 is to prevent the various humidification units from being easily affected or interfered with, thereby ensuring the humidification uniformity of the humidification assembly 100 at various positions.

[0047] It is understandable that in order to ensure that the humidity of each humidification unit is approximately equal, this can be achieved by increasing the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 or increasing the number of the third air outlet 601 in the direction away from the first fan 103. For example, when the number of third air outlets 601 contained in all humidification units is equal, the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 of the humidification unit close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the air outlet area of ​​the third air outlet 601 of the humidification unit away from the first fan 103. When the air outlet area of ​​the single third air outlet 601 contained in all humidification units is equal, the number of the third air outlet 601 of the humidification unit close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the number of the third air outlet 601 of the humidification unit away from the first fan 103.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that the partition 502 is provided with a notch 701 for accommodating the air distribution duct 501, which can play the role of avoiding the air distribution duct 501, making the overall structure of the humidification component 100 more compact and occupying less space. It can also play the role of fixing the air distribution duct 501, so that the air distribution duct 501 is fixed in the notch 701, not easy to shake, and ensure the stability of the air outlet. It can also limit the airflow on the upper side of the air distribution duct 501, and extend the distance between the humidification units that is not easy to affect or interfere.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 can also include a cover plate 104, which is connected to the housing 101 and is located above the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. The cover plate 104 is provided with a plurality of first air outlets 108 arranged at intervals, and the position of each first air outlet 108 is arranged corresponding to the position of a humidification unit, and high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of first air outlets 108 respectively. The first fan 103 is powered on, and after the relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 for acceleration, the dry air quickly passes through the surface of the humidification material, and the air with high humidity on the surface of the humidification material is quickly taken away from the first air outlet 108 on the cover plate 104 to the target space to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the target space.

[0050] Reference Figures 8 to 10 As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration equipment of the second embodiment of the present invention can be specifically a refrigerator, a wine cabinet and other products. The refrigeration equipment includes a cabinet 801, a refrigeration component and a humidification component 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet 801 is provided with a storage room and an air supply duct 901 for conveying airflow to the storage room, the refrigeration component is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage room, and the refrigeration component includes an evaporator 1001 and a compressor, which is configured to generate a cooling airflow in a controlled manner and promote the cooling airflow to be sent to the storage room through the air supply duct 901. In other words, the refrigeration component is used to refrigerate the storage room. The humidification component 100 is arranged in the cabinet 801, configured to generate a high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner, and convey the high-humidity airflow to the air supply duct 901, so that the high-humidity airflow flows into the storage room with the cooling airflow. It can be understood that the moisture in the high-humidity airflow is large, which can increase the humidity in the storage room.

[0051] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, it can be understood that the air supply duct 901 includes a second air outlet 902 and a return air outlet 1002 connected to the storage compartment, the second air outlet 902 is located at the top of the storage compartment, and the return air outlet 1002 is located at the bottom of the storage compartment. The refrigeration device includes a second fan for promoting air circulation between the storage compartment and the air supply duct 901, and the first air outlet 108 is located near the return air outlet 1002. When the second fan and the humidification component 100 are both in working state, the high humidity airflow generated by the humidification component 100 is sent to the air supply duct 901 through the return air outlet 1002, and enters the storage compartment through the second air outlet 902. After the secondary acceleration of the second fan, the high humidity airflow comes out of the second air outlet 902 and mixes more fully with the air in the storage compartment, thereby further improving the efficiency of humidification.

[0052] It is understandable that the first fan 103 has a relatively small power and a relatively weak driving capability, and it is difficult to effectively deliver the high-humidity airflow generated by it to the upper area of ​​the storage compartment. The second fan is used to deliver cooling airflow to the storage compartment, and has a relatively large power and a relatively strong driving capability. Therefore, the second fan can be cleverly used to deliver air to cause the high-humidity airflow generated by the humidification assembly 100 to flow at a high speed, thereby effectively delivering it to the entire space of the storage compartment.

[0053] It should be noted that when the humidifying component 100 is in working state, mainly in the stage of stopping cooling, even if the evaporator 1001 is located in the air supply duct 901, the evaporator 1001 is in a non-working state, and the second fan is kept turned on to accelerate the high-humidity air blown out by the humidifying component 100 and interact with the indoor air of the storage room, thereby reducing the probability of frost of the high-humidity airflow due to low temperature.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 is provided with a water receiving groove 111, and the water receiving groove 111 is located below the evaporator 1001, and is used to collect and guide water flow. Specifically, the water receiving groove 111 collects the collected condensed water / defrost water into a water flow and guides it to the water storage part 102. Part of the first air outlet 108 extends to the water receiving groove 111. When the water flow of the water receiving groove 111 flows to the first air outlet 108 located in the water receiving groove 111, the water flow will fall from the first air outlet 108, thereby replenishing water for the water storage part 102. For example, when the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the defrost water generated falls into the water receiving groove 111 under the action of gravity, and the defrost water returns to the water storage part 102 along the water receiving groove 111 for reuse, which can effectively reduce the frequency of users adding water.

[0055] In some other embodiments, a water inlet may be further provided on the cover plate 104 , the water inlet is located on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough 111 , and the water inlet is located above the water storage component 102 , and the water flow of the water receiving trough 111 falls into the water storage component 102 from the water inlet to replenish water for the water storage component 102 .

[0056] By setting a water receiving tank 111 below the evaporator 1001, the condensed water generated by the evaporator 1001 is effectively collected and guided, and then the water resources are used to evaporate through the humidification material, thereby achieving the purpose of humidifying the air. This design not only improves the utilization rate of water resources, but also reduces the frequency of users adding water.

[0057] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
