[0021] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the predetermined purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features and effects of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "embodiment" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments may be combined in any suitable form.

[0022] The utility model discloses a cigar storage cabinet (also referred to as a "cigar cabinet") with balanced humidity on the upper and lower layers, comprising a cabinet body 1 with a refrigeration device and a shelf (not shown) detachably mounted in a storage cavity of the cabinet body 1, and cigars are placed on the shelf for storage. An evaporator 2 connected to the refrigeration device is provided on the inner wall of the storage cavity of the cabinet body 1, so that the refrigeration device provides refrigeration to the storage cavity through the evaporator 2, so that the storage cavity has a temperature suitable for cigar storage.

[0023] For example, stop bars 10 are provided on both side walls of the cabinet body 1 , and the shelves are inserted from the opening side of the cabinet body 1 , and the stop bars 10 provide support for the shelves.

[0024] A support plate 6 is provided at the lower section of the storage chamber, and a receiving chamber 11 is provided between the support plate 6 and the bottom of the storage chamber, and a water tank 5 is provided in the receiving chamber 11;

[0025] A humidification air duct 7 is provided on the support plate 6 and is opposite to the water tank 5. A humidification fan is located in the humidification air duct 7. The humidification fan generates airflow to the water tank 5 to evaporate the water in the water tank 5 to humidify the storage cavity of the cabinet 1, so as to meet the storage humidity requirement of the cigars.

[0026] In order to improve the efficiency of humidification by the water tank 5, a first circulation fan 91 is provided between the lower end of the evaporator 2 and the support plate 6, and a second circulation fan 92 is provided between the upper end of the evaporator 2 and the top of the accommodating chamber 11, and the first circulation fan 91 and the second circulation fan 92 are staggered. By staggering the first circulation fan 91 and the second circulation fan 92 at different heights in the storage chamber, the humidified airflow generated by the humidification fan on the water tank 5 forms a cycle in the storage chamber, thereby sending the humidified airflow at the bottom of the storage chamber to the middle and upper sections of the storage chamber, playing a role in balancing the humidity in the storage chamber, so that the upper and lower layers of the shelves have the same humidity conditions to meet the storage needs of cigars.

[0027] The humidification air duct 7 includes a first humidification air duct 71 and a second humidification air duct 72 arranged side by side. Correspondingly, the humidification fan includes a first humidification fan 81 arranged in the first humidification air duct 71 and a second humidification fan 82 arranged in the second humidification air duct 72, and the first humidification fan 81 rotates in the opposite direction relative to the second humidification fan 82. That is, when the first humidification fan 81 blows air to the water tank 5, the second humidification fan 82 draws air to the water tank 5, so that the water tank 5 forms a circulation of humidification airflow through the first humidification air duct 71 and the second humidification air duct 72, so as to better balance the humidity at various positions in the cabinet 1.

[0028] An air outlet plate 4 is provided at the top of the humidifying air duct 7 to prevent cigars or foreign objects from falling into the humidifying air duct 7 and interfering with the operation of the first humidifying fan 81 and the second humidifying fan 82, thereby improving the working reliability.

[0029] Correspondingly, the air outlet plate 4 is provided with a first air outlet slot 41 connected to the first humidification air duct 71 and a second air outlet slot 42 connected to the second humidification air duct 72 .

[0030] In addition, the lower end of the humidification air duct 7 has a sealing strip 73, and the humidification air duct 7 is sealed and connected to the water tank 5 through the sealing strip 73, which is beneficial to improving the evaporation capacity of the first humidification fan 81 and the second humidification fan 82 on the water in the water tank 5 to improve the humidification efficiency of the cigar cabinet.

[0031] Moreover, the first circulation fan 91 and the second circulation fan 92 are both configured to have air intake from the front side and air outlet from the top side. For example, taking the first circulation fan 91 as an example, its air inlet is arranged on the front side, and the air outlet 90 is arranged on the top side of the first circulation fan 91, so as to realize the structure of air intake from the front side and air outlet from the top side, which is conducive to quickly transporting the airflow with higher humidity at the lower end of the cabinet 1 to the upper end of the cabinet 1, so as to improve the humidity balancing ability of different upper and lower positions in the cabinet 1.

[0032] A water collecting tank 3 is provided on the support plate 6, and the water collecting tank 3 is located below the evaporator 2 and above the water tank 5; a drain pipe 31 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 3 to drain water into the water tank 5. Therefore, when the cigar cabinet is in operation, condensed water generated by the evaporator 2 will drip into the water collecting tank 3, and then be drained into the water tank 5 through the drain pipe 31, replenishing the water tank 5, thereby reducing the need for manual active replenishment of the water tank 5.

[0033] Especially see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 5 includes a box body 51 with a water holding cavity and a humidifying curtain 52 detachably installed in the box body 51, and the box body 51 usually has a water tank panel 50. The humidifying curtain 52 is usually a wet curtain paper or wet curtain cloth to improve the evaporation capacity of the water in the water tank 5 under the action of the humidifying fan.

[0034] Among them, the two opposite inner side walls of the box body 51 are provided with stoppers 511 , the humidification curtain 52 is vertically arranged in the box body 51 , and the ends of the humidification curtain 52 are inserted into the stoppers 511 .

[0035] In addition, there are two humidifying curtains 52, and the two humidifying curtains 52 are arranged at intervals. In addition, the lower end of the humidifying air duct 7 also has a guide bar 74, and the lower end of the guide bar 74 extends between the two humidifying curtains 52. By providing the guide bar 74, when the first circulation fan 91 or the second circulation fan 92 blows into the box body 51, it is more likely to flow through the surface of the humidifying curtain 52, thereby improving the water evaporation capacity of the humidifying curtain 52 and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0036] It is understandable that a humidity sensor is provided in the cabinet 1 for detecting the humidity in the storage chamber. The cabinet 1 also has a circuit board for controlling the start and stop of the first humidification fan 81, the second humidification fan 82, the first circulation fan 91 and the second circulation fan 92.

[0037] When the humidity in the cabinet 1 is lower than the humidity required for cigar preservation, the first humidifying fan 81, the second humidifying fan 82, the first circulation fan 91 and the second circulation fan 92 are turned on: for example, the second humidifying fan 82 supplies air to the box 51, so that the airflow flows through the surface of the humidifying curtain 52 as much as possible under the action of the guide strip 74 to form a high-humidity airflow; the first humidifying fan 81 draws air from the box 51, and draws the high-humidity airflow from the box 51 and sends it upward through the first air slot 41; at this time, under the action of the first circulation fan 91 closer to the water tank 5, the high-humidity airflow is transported upward from the lower end of the storage chamber; at the same time, under the action of the second circulation fan 92 closer to the top of the storage chamber, the high-humidity airflow moves to the top of the storage chamber, and then under the action of the second humidifying fan 82 sending air downward, the high-humidity airflow forms a cycle from the bottom to the top of the storage chamber, thereby quickly balancing the humidity in the storage chamber, ensuring that the shelves at different heights in the storage chamber have the same humidity to improve the storage environment of the cigars.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
