Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage equipment, and particularly to a maintenance storage device, a humidifying mechanism thereof, and a humidifying method. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the number of people smoking tobacco products is increasing. Tobacco products such as cigars and cigarettes, etc. Here, cigars are taken as an example for illustration. Generally speaking, after cigars are produced, they need to be maintained and aged in an environment with a suitable temperature (16°C - 20°C) and a suitable relative humidity (60% - 70%) for a period of time before the taste of the cigars can be more mellow and suitable for people to smoke. Therefore, the requirements for the equipment for storing cigars are getting higher and higher. Traditional cigar maintenance storage devices include a maintenance box and a humidifying mechanism arranged in the maintenance box. The humidifying mechanism can adjust the relative humidity of the environment in the maintenance box. However, the traditional cigar maintenance storage device cannot achieve a relatively balanced adjustment of the relative humidity of the environment in each part of the maintenance box, and the storage and maintenance effect of the cigars is not good. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a maintenance storage device, a humidifying mechanism thereof, and a humidifying method, which can achieve a relatively balanced relative humidity of the environment in each part of the maintenance box and improve the maintenance effect.

[0004] The technical solution is as follows: A humidifying mechanism of a maintenance storage device, the humidifying mechanism of the maintenance storage device includes: an atomizing humidifying component, the atomizing humidifying component is provided with a humidifying air flow output end; an evaporation component, the evaporation component includes an evaporation housing and a water molecule attachment body arranged in the evaporation housing, the evaporation housing is provided with two first air inlets and a first air outlet, and one of the first air inlets is communicated with the humidifying air flow output end; and a humidifying fan, the air discharge port of the humidifying fan is arranged in butt joint with the other first air outlet, and the humidifying fan is used for discharging the evaporation air flow in the evaporation housing into the maintenance box through the first air outlet.

[0005] For the humidifying mechanism of the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device, when it is determined that the relative humidity in the maintenance box is relatively low (specifically, for example, lower than 60%) and humidification treatment is required, the atomizing humidification component is turned on. The atomizing humidification component sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation housing through the humidifying airflow output end, attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The function of the water molecule attachment body is to absorb the atomized water molecules and prevent the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the maintenance box. After the atomizing humidification component stops working, the humidifying fan is started, and the airflow generated by the humidifying fan is used to secondarily evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body and send them into the box along with the airflow generated by the humidifying fan, thereby increasing the humidity in the box. In addition, while increasing the humidity of the airflow in the maintenance box, the diameter of the molecular clusters in the airflow is effectively reduced. The water molecule diameter in the air in the maintenance box is smaller, which is easy to uniformly diffuse into the maintenance box, making the humidity adjustment in the maintenance box more balanced and improving the maintenance effect.

[0006] In one embodiment, the atomizing humidification component includes a water box, a humidifier and a nozzle; the humidifier includes a humidifying housing, the humidifying housing is arranged on the water box and is communicated with the water box, the humidifying housing is connected with the nozzle; the nozzle is communicated with the first air inlet.

[0007] In one embodiment, the water molecule attachment body is a silver ion substance or a nano-material body.

[0008] In one embodiment, the water molecule attachment body is silver ion particles or nano-particles.

[0009] In one embodiment, the evaporation housing is a silver ion box or a nano-material box.

[0010] In one embodiment, the humidifying mechanism of the maintenance and storage device further includes a humidifying system cover. The atomizing humidification component, the evaporation component and the humidifying fan are all covered inside the humidifying system cover. The humidifying system cover is provided with a second air outlet and a second air inlet. The air inlet of the humidifying fan is correspondingly arranged with the second air inlet, and the first air outlet is correspondingly arranged with the second air outlet.

[0011] In one embodiment, the humidifying mechanism of the maintenance and storage device further includes a first sensor and an alarm; the first sensor is arranged at the second air outlet, the first sensor is used to obtain the relative humidity at the second air outlet, and the alarm is used to perform an alarm action when the difference in the relative humidity obtained by the first sensor is less than a preset value.

[0012] A curing and storage device comprises a humidifying mechanism of the curing and storage device, and also comprises a curing box, a controller and a second sensor; the humidifying mechanism of the curing and storage device, the controller and the second sensor are all arranged on the curing box; the controller is electrically connected to the atomizing humidifying component, the humidifying fan and the second sensor respectively; the humidifying fan is used to draw and discharge the evaporative airflow in the evaporating shell into the curing box; the second sensor is used to obtain the relative humidity of the environment in the curing box.

[0013] In the above-mentioned curing and storage device, if the second sensor detects that the relative humidity of the environment in the curing box is low (specifically, for example, lower than 60%) and humidification treatment is required, the controller turns on the atomizing humidifying component, and the atomizing humidifying component sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation shell through the humidifying airflow output end, and attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The water molecule attachment body is used to absorb the atomized water molecules and prevent the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the curing box through the air outlet. After the atomizing humidifying component stops working, the controller restarts the humidifying fan, and uses the airflow generated by the humidifying fan to perform secondary evaporation on the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body, and sends them into the box along with the wind flow generated by the humidifying fan, thereby increasing the humidity in the box. In addition, while increasing the humidity of the air flow in the curing box, the diameter of the molecular clusters in the air flow is effectively reduced. The diameter of the water molecules in the air in the curing box is smaller, and it is easy to diffuse evenly into the curing box, so that the humidity regulation in the curing box is more balanced, which can improve the curing effect.

[0014] In one embodiment, the dehumidification mechanism also includes a dehumidification mechanism, which includes a dehumidification box and a dehumidification fan; a dehumidification object is installed inside the dehumidification box, and the dehumidification box is provided with a third air inlet and a third air outlet, and the air outlet of the dehumidification fan is docked with the third air inlet, and the dehumidification fan is used to draw the airflow in the maintenance box into the dehumidification box; the dehumidification fan is electrically connected to the controller.

[0015] In one embodiment, the maintenance and storage device also includes a dehumidification system cover and a third sensor. The dehumidification system cover is connected to the inner wall of the maintenance box. The dehumidification box and the dehumidification fan are both arranged in the dehumidification system cover. The dehumidification system cover is provided with a fourth air inlet and a fourth air outlet. The third sensor is arranged at the fourth air outlet to obtain the relative humidity at the fourth air outlet. The third sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0016] In one embodiment, the curing and storage device further includes a circulation fan, which is disposed in the curing box and is electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] A humidifying method for the maintenance storage device includes the following steps:

[0018] Obtain the relative humidity inside the maintenance box;

[0019] When it is determined that the relative humidity inside the maintenance box is lower than the first preset value, turn on the atomizing humidifying component so that the humidifying atomized water molecules enter the evaporation housing;

[0020] Turn off the humidifying component, turn on the humidifying fan to evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body for the second time and discharge them into the maintenance box.

[0021] In the above humidifying method for the maintenance storage device, the first preset value is specifically, for example, lower than 60%. When humidification treatment is required, turn on the atomizing humidifying component. The atomizing humidifying component sends the humidifying atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation housing through the humidifying airflow output end, and attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The function of the water molecule attachment body is to absorb the atomized water molecules and block the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the maintenance box. After the atomizing humidifying component stops working, start the humidifying fan again. Use the airflow generated by the humidifying fan to evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body for the second time, and send them into the box along with the air current generated by the humidifying fan to increase the humidity inside the box.

[0031] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Since during the adjustment of the relative humidity inside the maintenance box, the smaller the diameter of the atomized water molecule clusters, the more balanced the adjustment of the relative humidity of the environment at each part inside the maintenance box can be achieved, and the inner cavity environment of the maintenance box with uniform humidity distribution is more beneficial to the storage and maintenance process of cigars.

[0033] Based on this, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 shows a structural schematic diagram after the cover body 22 of the maintenance and storage device in an embodiment of the present invention is opened; Figure 2The structural schematic diagram of the humidifying mechanism 10 of the maintenance and storage device in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. A humidifying mechanism 10 of a maintenance and storage device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes an atomizing humidifying component 11, an evaporation component 12, and a humidifying fan 13. The atomizing humidifying component 11 is provided with a humidifying air flow output end. The evaporation component 12 includes an evaporation housing 121 and a water molecule attachment body disposed within the evaporation housing 121. The evaporation housing 121 is provided with two first air inlets 122 and a first air outlet. One of the first air inlets 122 is in communication with the humidifying air flow output end. The air discharge port of the humidifying fan 13 is disposed in butt joint with the other first air inlet 122, and the humidifying fan 13 is configured to discharge the evaporation air flow within the evaporation housing 121 into the maintenance box 20 through the first air outlet.

[0034] For the above-mentioned humidifying mechanism 10 of the maintenance and storage device, when it is determined that the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20 is relatively low (specifically, for example, lower than 60%) and humidification treatment is required, the atomizing humidifying component 11 is turned on. The atomizing humidifying component 11 sends the humidified atomized water molecule air flow into the evaporation housing 121 through the humidifying air flow output end, attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The function of the water molecule attachment body is to absorb the atomized water molecules and block the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the maintenance box 20. After the atomizing humidifying component 11 stops working, the humidifying fan 13 is started again. The air flow generated by the humidifying fan 13 is used to secondarily evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body and send them into the box along with the air flow generated by the humidifying fan 13 to increase the humidity inside the box. In addition, while increasing the humidity of the air flow inside the maintenance box 20, the diameter of the molecular clusters in the air flow of the air is effectively reduced. The diameter of the water molecules in the air inside the maintenance box 20 is relatively small, which is easy to uniformly diffuse into the maintenance box 20, making the humidity adjustment inside the maintenance box 20 more balanced and improving the maintenance effect.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 which schematically shows the structural schematic diagram of the humidifying mechanism of the maintenance and storage device described in an embodiment of the present invention. Further, the atomizing humidifying component 11 includes a water box 111, a humidifier, and a nozzle 113. The humidifier includes a humidifying housing 112. The humidifying housing 112 is disposed on the water box 111 and is in communication with the water box 111, and the humidifying housing 112 is connected to the nozzle 113. The nozzle 113 is in communication with the first air inlet 122. Specifically, the humidifier is an ultrasonic humidifier. The ultrasonic humidifier further includes an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator is, for example, integrally disposed in the controller, and of course, it can also be separately disposed. The ultrasonic generator causes the atomizing sheet to generate high-frequency oscillations. During the high-frequency vibration of the atomizing sheet, the water introduced from the water box 111 onto the atomizing sheet is thrown away from the water surface to generate floating water mist, and the water mist is sprayed into the evaporation housing 121 through the nozzle 113.

[0036] In one embodiment, the water molecule adherent is a silver ion substance or a nano material substance. Both the silver ion substance and the nano material substance have good adsorption and atomization of water molecules, achieving the effect of secondary evaporation. In this embodiment, the water molecule adherent is selected as the silver ion substance, which can not only effectively adsorb atomized water molecules, but also has the function of sterilization.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , further, the water molecule adherent is a silver ion particle or a nano particle. Thus, when the silver ion particles or nano particles are installed in the evaporation housing 121, an air flow gap is formed between the particles. After the humidified atomized water molecule air flow enters the evaporation housing 121, on the one hand, it is beneficial for the atomized water molecules to contact the outer surface of the particles and be adsorbed by the outer surface of the particles; on the other hand, the water molecule adherent installed in the evaporation housing 121 has a certain blocking effect on the atomized water molecule air flow, but can be discharged to the inner cavity of the maintenance box 20 through the first air outlet of the evaporation housing 121 under the exhaust pressure of the humidifying fan 13.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the evaporation housing 121 is a silver ion box or a nano material box. Thus, after the atomized water molecules enter the evaporation housing 121, they can not only be adsorbed by the water molecule adherent, but also be adsorbed by the inner wall of the evaporation housing 121. In this embodiment, the evaporation housing 121 is selected as the silver ion box.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the humidifying mechanism 10 of the maintenance and storage device further includes a humidifying system cover 14. The atomizing and humidifying assembly 11, the evaporation assembly 12 and the humidifying fan 13 are all covered inside the humidifying system cover 14. The humidifying system cover 14 is provided with a second air outlet 141 and a second air inlet 142. Specifically, the number of the second air outlets 141 is the same as that of the first air outlets, and the positions are also the same. In addition, the air inlet of the humidifying fan 13 is correspondingly arranged with the second air inlet 142.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in addition, specifically, the silver ion box of the evaporation assembly 12 is detachably installed inside the humidifying system cover 14, so that it is convenient to take out the silver ion box to replace the silver ion particles. Of course, the silver ion box can also be integrated with the humidifying system cover 14, or can be independently designed and placed inside the humidifying system cover 14, which is not limited here.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, in addition, the water box 111 can be independently designed. For example, it can be fixed to the humidification system cover 14 by means of snap fasteners, or directly integrated with the humidification system cover 14. In this embodiment, the water box 111 can be independently designed, which is convenient for disassembly, movement and water injection. An injection port is provided at the upper part of the water box 111 for adding water to the water box 111. There is a sealing member 114, such as a rubber plug, on the injection port for sealing the water box 111 after water injection, meeting the water sealing requirement of the humidification mechanism 10 of the conservation and storage device during portable movement. In order to improve the water atomization effect and extend the service life of the atomization sheet, the water in the water box 111 is preferably pure water or distilled water.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , further, the humidification mechanism 10 of the conservation and storage device further includes a first sensor 15 and an alarm. The first sensor 15 is arranged at the second air outlet 141. The first sensor 15 is used to obtain the relative humidity at the second air outlet 141, and the alarm is used to perform an alarm action when the difference in the relative humidity obtained by the first sensor 15 is less than a preset value. Specifically, both the first sensor 15 and the alarm are electrically connected to the controller. The controller receives the relative humidity sensed by the first sensor 15 at the second air outlet 141. If it is determined that the change value of the relative humidity within a preset time interval (for example, 60S) is less than the preset value (for example, 10%), it indicates that the water box 111 is short of water or the atomization humidification component 11 is faulty. At this time, the atomization humidification component 11 is controlled to stop working, and the water source is replenished or the atomization humidification component 11 is maintained, so as to timely remind the staff. If it is determined that the change value of the relative humidity within a preset time interval (for example, 60S) is greater than the preset value, the humidification fan 13 is turned on, and the humidification air flow is circulated into the entire conservation box 20 through the humidification fan 13 to reduce the relative humidity in the entire conservation box 20.

[0043] It should be noted that the change value of the relative humidity within a preset time interval (for example, 60S) is the difference between the relative humidity at the second air outlet 141 obtained by the first sensor 15 at, for example, the 0S and the relative humidity at the second air outlet 141 obtained at, for example, the 60S.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , specifically, the first sensor 15 is a temperature and humidity probe. The first sensor 15 can not only obtain the relative humidity at the second air outlet 141, but also be used to obtain the ambient temperature at the second air outlet 141.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4The exploded schematic diagram of the dehumidification structure of the maintenance and storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In one embodiment, a maintenance and storage device includes the humidifying mechanism 10 of the maintenance and storage device in any of the above embodiments, and further includes a maintenance box 20, a controller (not shown), and a second sensor (not shown). The humidifying mechanism 10, the controller, and the second sensor of the maintenance and storage device are all provided on the maintenance box 20. The controller is electrically connected to the atomizing humidifying component 11, the humidifying fan 13, and the second sensor respectively. The humidifying fan 13 is used to pump and discharge the evaporation airflow in the evaporation housing 121 into the maintenance box 20. The second sensor is used to obtain the relative humidity of the environment inside the maintenance box 20.

[0046] For the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device, when the second sensor obtains that the relative humidity of the environment inside the maintenance box 20 is relatively low (specifically, for example, lower than 60%) and humidification treatment is required, the controller turns on the atomizing humidifying component 11. The atomizing humidifying component 11 sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation housing 121 through the humidifying airflow output end, attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The function of the water molecule attachment body is to absorb the atomized water molecules and prevent the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the maintenance box 20 through the air outlet. After the atomizing humidifying component 11 stops working, the controller then starts the humidifying fan 13, and uses the airflow generated by the humidifying fan 13 to secondarily evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body, and send them into the box along with the air flow generated by the humidifying fan 13 to increase the humidity inside the box. In addition, while increasing the humidity of the airflow in the maintenance box 20, the diameter of the molecular clusters in the airflow is effectively reduced. The diameter of the water molecules in the air inside the maintenance box 20 is smaller, which is easy to uniformly diffuse into the maintenance box 20, making the humidity adjustment inside the maintenance box 20 more balanced and improving the maintenance effect.

[0047] Specifically, the second sensor is a temperature and humidity probe. The second sensor can not only obtain the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20, but also be used to obtain the ambient temperature inside the maintenance box 20.

[0048] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The diagrams illustrate the structure of the dehumidification structure of the curing and storage device according to one embodiment of the present invention from different perspectives. Furthermore, the curing and storage device further includes a dehumidification mechanism 40. The dehumidification mechanism 40 includes a dehumidification box 41 and a dehumidification fan 42. The dehumidification box 41 contains a dehumidifying material and is provided with a third air inlet 411 and a third air outlet 412. The air outlet of the dehumidification fan 42 is connected to the third air inlet 411. The dehumidification fan 42 is configured to draw air from the curing box 20 into the dehumidification box 41. The dehumidification fan 42 is electrically connected to a controller. Thus, when the controller determines that the relative humidity in the curing box 20 is high (e.g., greater than 80%), it controls the dehumidification fan 42 to operate accordingly. The dehumidification fan 42 draws the high-humidity air from the curing box 20 into the dehumidification box 41, where it is dehumidified and discharged into the curing box 20, thereby reducing the relative humidity within the curing box 20. Specifically, the dehumidifying material is dry particles, dry powder, etc., and can also be hydrophilic particles, such as activated alumina balls or molecular sieves, etc.

[0049] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, the curing box 20 includes a housing 21 and a lid 22 pivotably mounted on the housing 21. The humidifying mechanism 10 and the dehumidifying mechanism 40 are disposed on two opposing inner walls of the housing 21. This arrangement of the humidifying mechanism 10 and the dehumidifying mechanism 40 is optimally positioned, reducing the size of the curing storage device.

[0050] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6, in one embodiment, the dehumidifying mechanism 40 further includes a dehumidifying system cover 43 and a third sensor 46. The dehumidifying system cover 43 is connected to the inner wall of the maintenance box 20. The dehumidifying box 41 and the dehumidifying fan 42 are both disposed inside the dehumidifying system cover 43. The dehumidifying system cover 43 is provided with a fourth air inlet 431 and a fourth air outlet 432. The third sensor 46 is disposed at the fourth air outlet 432 for obtaining the relative humidity at the fourth air outlet 432, and the third sensor 46 is electrically connected to the controller. In this way, the third sensor 46 can sense the humidity of the air after being processed by the dehumidifying box 41, mainly for judging whether the adsorption capacity of the dehumidifying material in the dehumidifying box 41 fails. A specific judgment method is as follows: judge the change in the humidity sensing values at two time intervals (for example, 60 s), that is, the difference between the two humidity values. When it is less than a certain value (such as 10%, this value depends on the accuracy of the humidity sensor), it is considered that the water absorption characteristic of the dehumidifying material in the dehumidifying box 41 fails, and the controller controls the alarm to act and alarms to replace the dehumidifying material in the dehumidifying box 41. Optionally, for the convenience of replacing the dehumidifying material in the dehumidifying box 41, the dehumidifying box 41 is detachably fixed to the dehumidifying system cover 43 by, for example, a snap structure. When the inner cavity space of the maintenance box 20 is relatively large, in order to ensure the uniformity of the temperature and humidity distribution inside the entire maintenance box 20 and strengthen the flow of the air flow on each inner wall and in the space. In one embodiment, the maintenance and storage device further includes a circulation fan 50. The circulation fan 50 is disposed inside the maintenance box 20, and the circulation fan 50 is electrically connected to the controller. In this way, the controller controls the circulation fan 50 to operate, so that the air flow inside the maintenance box 20 circulates and fills the entire maintenance box 20, which is beneficial to achieving a relatively balanced relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20.

[0051] It should be noted that the third sensor 46 can also be disposed at other positions, such as Figure 5 shown adjacent to the circulation fan 50 in

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6, Further, the circulation fan 50 has independent air inlets and outlets. The circulation fan 50 can be arranged at the front end or the rear end of the dehumidification system cover 43, which is not limited herein. The circulation fan 50 is not controlled by the relative humidity parameter inside the maintenance box 20 and always maintains a constant pressure working state. Its function is to strengthen the airflow inside the cavity of the maintenance box 20. In the non-dehumidification mode, since the dehumidification fan 42 does not work, the airflow inside the maintenance box 20 does not pass through the dehumidifying material in the dehumidification box 41, and the humidity of the airflow inside the maintenance box 20 does not change; when the dehumidification mode is started, the dehumidification fan 42 works, and the airflow will pass through the dehumidification box 41, thereby reducing the relative humidity of the airflow and achieving the purpose of changing the humidity. Further, the humidification system cover 14 and the dehumidification system cover 43 are plastic covers, and are specifically fixed on the inner wall of the box body 21 using self-tapping screws or snap structures. The humidification system cover 14 and the dehumidification system cover 43 can also be made of other materials and can also be fixed on the inner wall of the maintenance box 20 by other means.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and ​ , Further, a wind baffle 435 is provided inside the dehumidification system cover 43. The wind baffle 435 divides the dehumidification system cover 43 into two spaces. The dehumidification box 41 and the dehumidification fan 42 are arranged in one of the spaces. The fourth air inlet 431 and the fourth air outlet 432 on the dehumidification system cover 43 are communicated with this space. The circulation fan 50 is arranged in the other space. The dehumidification system cover 43 is also provided with a fifth air inlet 433 and a fifth air outlet 434 communicated with the other space. When the circulation fan 50 works, the airflow inside the maintenance box 20 enters through the fifth air inlet 433 and is discharged from the fifth air outlet 434, which can realize driving the airflow inside the maintenance box 20 to circulate.

[0054] Please refer to ​ , ​ and ​ , In one embodiment, a humidification method for a maintenance and storage device according to any of the above embodiments includes the following steps:

[0055] S10. Obtain the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20;

[0056] S20. When it is determined that the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20 is lower than the first preset value, turn on the atomizing humidification component 11 so that the humidifying atomized water molecules enter the evaporation housing 121;

[0057] S30. Turn off the humidification component, turn on the humidification fan 13 to secondarily evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule adherent and discharge them into the maintenance box 20. Among them, the first preset value is specifically, for example, 60%.

[0058] For the humidifying method of the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device, when humidifying treatment is required, the atomizing humidifying component 11 is turned on. The atomizing humidifying component 11 sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation housing 121 through the humidifying airflow output end, attaches the atomized water molecules to the water molecule attachment body. The function of the water molecule attachment body is to absorb the atomized water molecules and block the atomized water molecules from directly entering the inner cavity of the maintenance box 20. After the atomizing humidifying component 11 stops working, the humidifying fan 13 is started, and the airflow generated by the humidifying fan 13 is used to secondarily evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body and send them into the box along with the airflow generated by the humidifying fan 13 to increase the humidity in the box, so that the relative humidity in the maintenance box 20 is controlled between 60% and 70%.

[0059] Please refer to ​ 、 ​ and ​ Furthermore, before turning on the atomizing humidifying component 11, it includes step S12: obtaining the relative humidity inside the humidifying system cover 14, denoted as the first detection value;

[0060] After turning on the atomizing humidifying component 11 and before turning off the humidifying component, it also includes the following steps:

[0061] S22. When the atomizing humidifying component 11 is turned on for the first preset working time, obtain the relative humidity inside the humidifying system cover 14, denoted as the second detection value, and judge whether the relative humidity (the second detection value) inside the humidifying system cover 14 is higher than the first internal setting value;

[0062] The first preset working time is set according to the actual situation and is related to the humidifying capacity of the atomizing humidifying component 11, and is not limited. The first internal setting value is, for example, 80%, and is also not limited.

[0063] If the relative humidity inside the humidifying system cover 14 is higher than the first internal setting value, then enter step S30; if the relative humidity inside the humidifying system cover 14 is lower than the first internal setting value, then enter step S24.

[0064] Furthermore, the humidifying method of the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device also includes:

[0065] Step S24. The atomizing humidifying component 11 continues to work with a time delay for the second preset working time, and obtains the relative humidity inside the humidifying system cover 14 again, denoted as the third detection value;

[0066] Among them, the second preset working time is, for example, 2S to 4S, specifically, for example, 3S.

[0067] Step S25. Obtain the relative humidity change value inside the humidifying system cover 14 according to the third detection value and the first detection value;

[0068] Step S26: Determine whether the water box 111 is short of water or the atomizing humidification component 11 is faulty according to the relative humidity change value.

[0069] Specifically, if it is determined that the relative humidity change value within a preset time interval (such as 60S) is less than a preset value (such as 10%), it is prompted that the water box 111 is short of water or the atomizing humidification component 11 is faulty. At this time, the atomizing humidification component 11 is controlled to stop working, and the water source is replenished or the atomizing humidification component 11 is maintained, so as to timely remind the staff. If it is determined that the relative humidity change value within a preset time interval (such as 60S) is greater than the preset value, the humidifying fan 13 is turned on, and the humidifying air flow is circulated throughout the maintenance box 20 through the humidifying fan 13 to reduce the relative humidity within the entire maintenance box 20, and then enter step S12.

[0070] Further, after step S30, the following steps are also included: the humidifying fan 13 is turned off after operating for a third preset working time, and returns to step S10. The third preset working time is, for example, 25S to 35S, specifically 30S for example.

[0071] Further, the humidifying method of the maintenance storage device further includes the following steps: when it is determined that the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20 is higher than a second preset value, the dehumidifying fan 42 is turned on to increase the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20. The second preset value is, for example, 75%, that is, when it is determined that the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20 is higher than 75%, a dehumidifying operation is performed to control the relative humidity inside the maintenance box 20 to 60% - 70%.

[0072] As the inner cavity volume of the maintenance box 20 increases and there is a positional gap between the second air outlet 141 of the humidifying system cover 14, the fourth air outlet 432 of the dehumidifying system cover 43 and the second sensor, when starting the humidifying or dehumidifying mode of operation, with the change of the air flow inside the maintenance box 20, the humidity inside the maintenance box 20 will show dynamic distribution non-uniformity. It is not until a certain time after stopping the humidifying or dehumidifying working mode that the humidity inside the maintenance box 20 can gradually tend to a uniform static balance distribution, that is, there is a delay balance process from starting the humidifying or dehumidifying to the final static balance distribution of humidity. And the humidity that needs to be finally achieved is the final static balance humidity inside the maintenance box 20. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify whether the humidity sensing value in the maintenance box 20 is a static balance value or a dynamic change value, so as to correctly apply the humidifying and dehumidifying modes. Based on this, further, the humidifying method of the maintenance storage device further includes the following steps:

[0073] When the humidity inside the maintenance box 20 differs greatly from the set value, a continuous humidifying or dehumidifying mode is adopted;

[0074] When the humidity value inside the maintenance box 20 is close to the set value (such as within 2%), an intermittent humidifying or intermittent dehumidifying, and a delay balance mode are adopted.

[0075] Specifically, for example, humidification or dehumidification work is carried out for 5S, balancing for 30S, then humidification or dehumidification work is carried out again, and this is repeated continuously to gradually make the humidity in the curing box 20 reach the set value.

[0076] To avoid overshoot of humidity adjustment when approaching the set humidity value, resulting in alternating dehumidification and humidification work, that is, just after humidification is completed, the humidity exceeds the set value, then the humidity adjustment system switches to the dehumidification mode again, and the dehumidification overshoot enters humidification again, causing a vicious cycle of humidification and dehumidification in the inner cavity of the box body 21, and finally exhausting the water in the humidification water box 111 and invalidating the dehumidification adsorption material. Based on this, further, the humidification method of the curing and storage device further includes the following steps:

[0077] Increase the upper and lower limit difference of humidification and dehumidification. That is, assume the set humidity value is RHset, then the humidification limit value is RHset - ΔRH (humidification stops when reaching this value from low humidity, and at the same time it is set as the upper limit value for starting humidification, and humidification is started when the value is less than this value), and the dehumidification limit value is RHset + ΔRH (dehumidification stops when reaching this value from high humidity, and at the same time it is set as the lower limit value for starting dehumidification, and dehumidification is started when the value is greater than this value). Increase ΔRH (this value is related to the required humidity control accuracy), widen the switching value between the two different modes of humidification and dehumidification, and reduce the risk of forming a vicious cycle of dehumidification - humidification.

[0078] Further, a delay is added when switching between the two modes of dehumidification and humidification. That is, when switching from humidification or dehumidification to another mode, first stop the work of this mode for a period of time (such as 5 minutes), and then determine whether to switch according to the humidity parameter in the box, fully ensuring that the humidity in the curing box 20 is in a stable state, thereby effectively solving the problem of the vicious cycle of dehumidification and humidification.
