Abstract

The present invention relates to a curing and storage device and a method for controlling temperature and humidity thereof. The curing and storage device comprises a curing box, a temperature regulating mechanism and a humidity regulating mechanism. The temperature regulating mechanism can regulate the temperature in the curing box, and the humidity regulating mechanism can regulate the humidity in the curing box, so that the environment in the curing box can be kept at a constant temperature and humidity, thereby ensuring a better curing effect. Since the temperature regulating mechanism and the humidity regulating mechanism are both arranged on the side wall of the curing box, the position arrangement is relatively reasonable, the occupied space size is relatively small, and it can be helpful to reduce the volume size of the curing and storage device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of storage equipment, and in particular to a curing storage device and a temperature and humidity control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the number of people who smoke tobacco products is increasing. Tobacco products include cigars and cigarettes, etc. This article takes cigars as an example. Generally speaking, after cigars are produced, they need to be cured and aged for a period of time under a suitable temperature (16°C to 20°C) and a suitable relative humidity (60% to 70%) environment, so that the taste of the cigars can be more mellow and suitable for people to smoke. Therefore, the requirements for equipment for storing cigars are getting higher and higher. Traditional cigar curing and storage devices include storage cabinets and temperature and humidity adjustment mechanisms arranged in the storage cabinets. Although the temperature and humidity in the storage cabinets can be adjusted, the traditional cigar curing and storage devices are large in structure and heavy in weight, which is not convenient to carry. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a curing and storage device and a temperature and humidity control method thereof, which can adjust the temperature and humidity in the curing box and is small in size and easy to carry.

[0004] The technical scheme is as follows: a curing and storage device, comprising: a curing box; a temperature regulating mechanism, wherein the temperature regulating mechanism is arranged on the side wall of the curing box, the temperature regulating mechanism comprises a semiconductor refrigeration element, a first heat sink, a second heat sink, a first heat sink fan and a second heat sink fan, one end surface of the semiconductor refrigeration element is connected to the first heat sink, and the other end surface of the semiconductor refrigeration element is connected to the second heat sink, the first heat sink fan and the first heat sink are located on the outer wall of the curing box, the first heat sink fan is used to blow wind toward the first heat sink, the second heat sink and the second heat sink fan are located on the inner wall of the curing box, and the second heat sink fan is used to blow wind toward the second heat sink; and a humidity regulating mechanism, wherein the humidity regulating mechanism is arranged on the inner wall of the curing box, and the humidity regulating mechanism is used to adjust the relative humidity in the curing box.

[0005] In the above-mentioned curing and storage device, the temperature regulating mechanism can regulate the temperature in the curing box, and the humidity regulating mechanism can regulate the humidity in the curing box, so that the environment in the curing box can be kept in a constant temperature and humidity state, thereby ensuring a better curing effect. In addition, since the temperature regulating mechanism and the humidity regulating mechanism are both arranged on the side wall of the curing box, the position setting is relatively reasonable, the occupied space size is small, and it is conducive to reducing the volume size of the curing and storage device; in addition, since the temperature regulating mechanism adopts a semiconductor refrigeration element, on the one hand, the semiconductor refrigeration element can realize cooling, and the cold energy is transferred to the second heat sink, and the second heat sink fan brings the cold energy on the second heat sink into the curing box to reduce the temperature of the curing box. After the semiconductor refrigeration element switches the input positive and negative polarity, the semiconductor refrigeration element can realize heating, and the heat is transferred to the second heat sink, and the second heat sink fan brings the heat on the second heat sink into the curing box to increase the temperature of the curing box; on the other hand, the size of the semiconductor refrigeration element is small, which reduces the volume size of the temperature regulating mechanism to a certain extent, thereby helping to reduce the volume size of the curing and storage device, and is easy to carry.

[0006] A temperature and humidity control method for the curing and storage device comprises the following steps:

[0007] Get the relative humidity and temperature in the curing box;

[0008] When both the temperature and the relative humidity are not within the preset range, the temperature in the curing box is first adjusted to reach the preset range, and then the relative humidity is adjusted to the preset range.

[0009] In the temperature and humidity control method of the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device, the two parameters of the inner cavity temperature and relative humidity of the box are interrelated, that is, temperature adjustment will affect the humidity change, so temperature adjustment takes precedence over humidity control, that is, temperature adjustment is completed first to control the inner cavity temperature of the box within the required temperature range (such as 16-20°C); when the inner cavity temperature of the box has met the requirements, humidity control is completed, so that humidity adjustment (humidification / dehumidification) has no effect on the temperature in the box or has minimal effect.

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of 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 violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0033] As the relative humidity in the curing box is adjusted, the smaller the diameter of the atomized water molecule clusters, the more balanced the relative humidity adjustment of each part of the environment in the curing box can be. The evenly distributed humidity environment in the curing box is more beneficial to the storage and curing process of cigars.

[0034] Based on this, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a maintenance and storage device in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the curing and storage device in one embodiment of the present invention when the cover is opened is shown. One embodiment of the present invention provides a curing and storage device, which includes a curing box 10, a temperature adjustment mechanism 20 and a humidity adjustment mechanism.

[0035] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 , Figure 3 The figure shows an exploded schematic diagram of a curing and storage device in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of the temperature regulating mechanism in the curing storage device in one embodiment of the present invention is shown. The temperature regulating mechanism 20 is arranged on the side wall of the curing box 10. The temperature regulating mechanism 20 includes a semiconductor refrigeration element 21 (such as Fig. 9 As shown), the first heat sink 22, the second heat sink 23, the first heat dissipation fan 24 and the second heat dissipation fan 25. One end surface of the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 is connected to the first heat sink 22, and the other end surface of the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 is connected to the second heat sink 23. The first heat dissipation fan 24 and the first heat dissipation element 22 are located on the outer wall of the curing box 10. The first heat dissipation fan 24 is used to blow wind toward the first heat sink 22. The second heat sink 23 and the second heat dissipation fan 25 are located on the inner wall of the curing box 10, and the second heat dissipation fan 25 is used to blow wind toward the second heat sink 23. The humidity adjustment mechanism is arranged on the inner wall of the curing box 10, and the humidity adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the relative humidity in the curing box 10.

[0036] In the above-mentioned curing and storage device, the temperature regulating mechanism 20 can regulate the temperature in the curing box 10, and the humidity regulating mechanism can regulate the humidity in the curing box 10, so that the environment in the curing box 10 can be kept at a constant temperature and humidity, thereby ensuring a better curing effect. In addition, since the temperature regulating mechanism 20 and the humidity regulating mechanism are both arranged on the side wall of the curing box 10, the position setting is relatively reasonable, the occupied space size is small, and it can be helpful to reduce the volume size of the curing and storage device; in addition, since the temperature regulating mechanism 20 adopts the semiconductor refrigeration element 21, on the one hand, the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 can realize refrigeration, and the cold energy is transferred to the second heat sink 23, and the second heat dissipation fan 25 brings the cold energy on the second heat sink 23 into the curing box 10 to reduce the temperature of the curing box 10. After the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 switches the input positive and negative polarity, the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 can realize heating, and the heat is transferred to the second heat sink 23, and the second heat dissipation fan 25 brings the heat on the second heat sink 23 into the curing box 10 to increase the temperature of the curing box 10; on the other hand, the size of the semiconductor refrigeration element 21 is small, which reduces the volume size of the temperature regulating mechanism 20 to a certain extent, and then can help to reduce the volume size of the curing and storage device, and is easy to carry.

[0037] It should be noted that by utilizing the Peltier effect of semiconductor refrigeration materials and supplying direct current to TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler, semiconductor refrigeration element 21), the cooling function of the box 11 can be realized. By changing the polarity of the TEC input voltage, that is, changing the direction of the TEC current, the heating function of the box 11 can be realized without changing the structure.

[0038] Of course, in another embodiment, instead of switching the polarity of the TEC input voltage to achieve the switching between the cooling function and the heating function of the temperature regulating mechanism 20, the temperature regulating mechanism 20 may also adopt a composite structure of TEC cooling and PTC (PTC is a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, and its material properties should belong to semiconductors) heating, that is, the PTC is connected to the TEC cold end refrigerator, and only the TEC is energized during cooling and the PTC is de-energized; and during heating, the PTC is energized and the TEC is disconnected.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 3 Furthermore, the maintenance storage device further includes a first sensor 30 (such as Fig.13 As shown), a controller 41 and a display 42. The first sensor 30 is used to obtain the temperature and humidity information in the curing box 10, and the first sensor 30 is electrically connected to the controller 41. The controller 41 is electrically connected to the display 42, and the display 42 is used to display the temperature and humidity information in the curing box 10. The controller 41 is also electrically connected to the temperature regulating mechanism 20 and the humidity regulating mechanism. On the one hand, the temperature and humidity information in the curing box 10 is displayed in a timely manner through the display 42, which is convenient for grasping the environmental information in the curing box 10; on the other hand, if the temperature and humidity in the curing box 10 do not meet the requirements, the controller 41 controls the temperature regulating mechanism 20 and the humidity regulating mechanism to make timely adjustments so that the temperature and humidity in the curing box 10 meet the requirements.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the curing box 10 includes a box body 11 and a cover body 12 rotatably disposed on the box body 11. The box body 11 includes a bottom plate 111 and a first side plate 112 connected to the bottom plate 111.

[0041] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, a support plate 113 is connected to the side of the first side plate 112 away from the bottom plate 111. One side of the cover body 12 is rotatably connected to the support plate 113, and one side of the cover body 12 is provided with a notch 121 corresponding to the display 42. The display 42 is mounted on the support plate 113, and when the cover body 12 is covered on the box body 11, the display 42 is located at the notch 121. In this way, no matter the cover body 12 is in a state of being rotated open or in a state of being rotated closed on the box body 11, the temperature and humidity information in the curing box 10 can be observed and grasped through the display 42. Specifically, the shape of the notch 121 is adapted to the shape of the display 42. In addition, the display 42 is not only used to display the temperature and humidity information, but also has buttons, through which the temperature and humidity information can be set. Optionally, the display 42 is a touch screen.

[0042] Optionally, the cover 12 is connected to the box 11 by a hinge. Specifically, the cover 12 and the box 11 are connected by a damping hinge, so that the cover 12 can be closed and opened at multiple angles, which is convenient to use.

[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 is disposed on the first side plate 112. In this way, the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22 are located on the outer wall of the first side plate 112, and the second heat sink 23 and the second cooling fan 25 are located on the inner wall of the first side plate 112. The support plate 113 connected to the first side plate 112 can be designed to be wide enough to a certain extent. On the one hand, it can be used to install the display 42, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to a protective device on the top surface of the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22, so that the volume size of the entire maintenance and storage device is small.

[0044] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the curing and storage device also includes a first protective cover 60. The first protective cover 60 is arranged on the outside of the curing box 10 and is covered on the first side plate 112. The first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22 are located in the first protective cover 60. The first protective cover 60 is provided with a first vent 61. Specifically, there are at least two first vents 61 on the first protective cover 60, one of which is used for air intake and the other is used for air discharge. In this way, the first protective cover 60 can prevent the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22 from being exposed, and play a protective role for the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22; in addition, when the first cooling fan 24 is working, the first cooling fan 24 draws the airflow outside the first protective cover 60 into the first protective cover 60 through one of the first vents 61, dissipates the heat or cools the first heat sink 22, and then discharges it through the other first vent 61 on the first protective cover 60.

[0045] See also Figures 4 to 7 , Figures 4 to 6The different perspective structural diagrams of the curing and storage device of an embodiment after hiding the curing box are respectively illustrated. Similarly, the curing and storage device also includes a second protective cover 70. The second protective cover 70 is arranged inside the curing box 10 and is covered on the first side plate 112. The second cooling fan 25 and the second heat sink 23 are located in the second protective cover 70, and the second protective cover 70 is provided with a second vent 71. Specifically, there are at least two second vents 71 on the second protective cover 70, one of which is used for air intake and the other is used for air discharge. In this way, the second protective cover 70 can prevent the second cooling fan 25 and the second heat sink 23 from being exposed, and play a protective role for the second cooling fan 25 and the second heat sink 23; in addition, when the second cooling fan 25 is working, the second cooling fan 25 sucks the airflow outside the second protective cover 70 into the second protective cover 70 through one of the second vents 71, dissipates the heat or cools the second heat sink 23, and then discharges it through another second vent 71 on the second protective cover 70.

[0046] Specifically, the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22 are located on the outer wall of the curing box 10 , which means that the first cooling fan 24 and the first heat sink 22 are located on a side surface of the first side plate 112 facing the first protective cover 60 .

[0047] See also Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Figure 8 1 is a schematic diagram showing a structure after the first cooling fan 24 and the second cooling fan 25 are removed from the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 of an embodiment; Fig. 9 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the decomposition after the first cooling fan and the second cooling fan in the temperature adjustment mechanism of an embodiment are removed. Furthermore, the maintenance and storage device also includes a cooling member 26 and a heat insulating sleeve 27. A through hole 114 is provided on the first side plate 112, and the heat insulating sleeve 27 is arranged at the through hole 114. The cooling member 26 is arranged in the heat insulating sleeve 27, and the cooling member 26 is arranged between the semiconductor refrigeration member 21 and the second heat dissipation member 23. In this way, the cooling member 26 and the heat insulating sleeve 27 can facilitate the semiconductor refrigeration member 21 to transfer heat or cold to the second heat dissipation member 23, and at the same time can prevent heat or cold from being transferred to the side wall of the box body 11.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In addition, the heat insulation sleeve 27 is mainly used for heat insulation between the cold and hot parts of the temperature regulating mechanism 20 to reduce heat loss. In order to reduce the thickness of the temperature regulating mechanism 20, the first cooling fan 24 and the second cooling fan 25 are preferably centrifugal fans to enhance heat exchange, and axial fans can also be used to enhance heat exchange.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 Specifically, the heat insulating sleeve 27 includes a frame sleeve 271 sleeved outside the cooling member 26, and a heat preservation sleeve 272 sleeved outside the frame sleeve 271. The frame sleeve 271 is, for example, a plastic sleeve, a rubber sleeve, a wooden sleeve, an iron sleeve, etc., which are not limited. The heat preservation sleeve 272 is, for example, a protective cotton, which can be used as long as it can play a heat preservation role, which is not limited.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the first heat sink 22 is an aluminum heat sink or a copper heat sink. The second heat sink 23 is an aluminum heat sink or a copper heat sink. The controller 41 includes a control circuit board, which is arranged on the first side plate 112 and located on the air outlet side of the first heat dissipation fan 24. In this way, the first heat dissipation fan 24 not only dissipates heat for the first heat sink 22, but also dissipates heat for the control circuit board, taking away the heat generated on the control circuit board. In addition, the first heat sink 22 and the second heat sink 23 use aluminum heat sinks or copper heat sinks, which can quickly conduct heat and play a good heat dissipation or cooling effect. Specifically, the first heat sink 22 and the control circuit board are sequentially arranged on the air outlet path of the first heat dissipation fan 24, that is, the wind blown out by the first heat dissipation fan 24 passes through the first heat sink 22 and the control circuit board in sequence, and is discharged outward, thereby sequentially dissipating heat for the first heat sink 22 and the control circuit board. In addition, the maintenance and storage device also includes a power supply 28. The power supply 28 is arranged in the first protective cover 60, and the power supply 28 supplies power to all electrical components in the maintenance and storage device.

[0051] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the box body 11 further includes a second side plate 115, a third side plate 116 and a fourth side plate 117 connected to the bottom plate 111. The first side plate 112 is arranged opposite to the fourth side plate 117, and the second side plate 115 is arranged opposite to the third side plate 116. The two ends of the first side plate 112 are respectively connected to the second side plate 115 and the third side plate 116, and the two ends of the fourth side plate 117 are respectively connected to the second side plate 115 and the third side plate 116. In other words, the box body 11 is in the shape of a cuboid or a cube. Of course, the box body 11 can also be in other shapes, which is not limited.

[0052] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3, further, the humidity regulating mechanism includes a humidification regulating component 80 and a dehumidification regulating component 90. It should be noted that the humidification regulating component 80 and the dehumidification regulating component 90 can be independently arranged or integrated into one. The following is a detailed description taking the mutually independently arranged structures as an example. Further, the humidification regulating component 80 is arranged on the second side plate 115, and the dehumidification regulating component 90 is arranged on the third side plate 116. In this way, since the humidification regulating component 80 and the dehumidification regulating component 90 are respectively arranged on the second side plate 115 and the third side plate 116, on the one hand, the mutual influence between the two can be reduced, and on the other hand, the overall volume size of the maintenance and storage device can also be reduced.

[0053] See also Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 , Fig.10 A schematic diagram of the structure of a humidification adjustment component and a humidification system cover of a maintenance and storage device according to an embodiment is shown; Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the structure in which the humidification regulating component of the maintenance and storage device described in one embodiment is installed behind the humidification system cover is shown. In one embodiment, the humidification regulating component 80 includes an atomizing humidification component 81, an evaporation component 82 and a humidification fan 83. The atomizing humidification component 81 is provided with a humidified airflow output terminal. The evaporation component 82 includes an evaporation shell 821 and a water molecule attachment body arranged in the evaporation shell 821. The evaporation shell 821 is provided with two first air inlets 822 and a first air outlet (not shown), one of which is connected to the humidification airflow output terminal. The air outlet of the humidification fan 83 is connected to the other first air inlet 822, and the humidification fan 83 is used to discharge the evaporation airflow in the evaporation shell 821 into the maintenance box 10 through the first air outlet.

[0054] When it is determined that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is low (specifically, for example, lower than 60%) and humidification treatment is required, the atomizing humidifying component 81 is turned on, and the atomizing humidifying component 81 sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation shell 821 through the humidified 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 10. After the atomizing humidifying component 81 stops working, the humidifying fan 83 is started again, and the airflow generated by the humidifying fan 83 is used to perform secondary evaporation on the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body, and the water molecules are sent into the box with the wind flow generated by the humidifying fan 83 to increase the humidity in the box. In addition, while increasing the air humidity of the air flow in the curing box 10, 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 10 is small, and it is easy to diffuse evenly into the curing box 10, so that the humidity regulation in the curing box 10 is more balanced, which can improve the curing effect.

[0055] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 Furthermore, the atomizing and humidifying assembly 81 includes a water box 811, a humidifier and a nozzle 813. The humidifier includes a humidifying housing 812 connected to the water box 811, and an atomizing sheet arranged in the humidifying housing 812. The humidifying housing 812 is connected to the nozzle 813. The nozzle 813 is connected to the first air inlet 822. Specifically, the humidifier is an ultrasonic humidifier, and the ultrasonic humidifier also includes an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator is integrated in the controller, for example, and can also be arranged separately. The ultrasonic generator is used to make the atomizing sheet generate high-frequency oscillations. During the high-frequency vibration of the atomizing sheet, the water introduced into the atomizing sheet by the water box 811 is thrown off the water surface to generate floating water mist, and the water mist is sprayed into the evaporation shell 821 through the nozzle 813.

[0056] In one embodiment, the water molecule attachment body is a silver ion or a nano material. Both the silver ion and the nano material have good adsorption of atomized water molecules and achieve secondary evaporation. In this embodiment, the water molecule attachment body is a silver ion, which can not only effectively adsorb atomized water molecules, but also has a bactericidal effect.

[0057] Furthermore, the water molecule attachment body is a silver ion particle or a nanoparticle. In this way, when the silver ion particles or nanoparticles are installed in the evaporation shell 821, airflow gaps are formed between the particles. After the humidified atomized water molecule airflow enters the evaporation shell 821, on the one hand, it is conducive to the atomized water molecules contacting the outer surface of the particles and being adsorbed by the outer surface of the particles; on the other hand, the water molecule attachment body installed in the evaporation shell 821 has a certain blocking effect on the atomized water molecule airflow, but under the action of the humidification fan 83, it can be discharged to the inner cavity of the curing box 10 through the first air outlet of the evaporation shell 821.

[0058] In one embodiment, the evaporation shell 821 is a silver ion box or a nano material box. In this way, after the atomized water molecules enter the evaporation shell 821, they can be adsorbed not only by the water molecule attachment body but also by the inner wall of the evaporation shell 821. In this embodiment, the evaporation shell 821 is a silver ion box.

[0059] See also Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11, further, the humidity adjustment mechanism also includes a second sensor 51 and a humidification system cover 52. The controller includes a prompter. The humidification system cover 52 is provided with a second air outlet 521 and a second air inlet 522, the humidification adjustment component 80 is arranged in the humidification system cover 52, and the air inlet of the humidification fan is arranged corresponding to the second air inlet 522. The first air outlet is arranged corresponding to the second air outlet 521, and the first air outlet directly discharges the humidified gas to the outside through the second air outlet 521. In one embodiment, the atomizing humidification component 81, the evaporation component 82 and the humidification fan 83 are all covered inside the humidification system cover 52. Specifically, the silver ion box of the evaporation component 82 is detachably mounted inside the humidification system cover 52, so that it is easy 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 humidification system cover 52, or it can be independently designed and placed inside the humidification system cover 52, which is not limited here.

[0060] See also Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 In addition, the water box 811 can be designed independently, for example, it can be fixed to the humidification system cover 52 by snap-fitting, or it can be directly integrated with the humidification system cover 52. In this embodiment, the water box 811 can be designed independently, which is convenient for disassembly, movement and water filling. A water filling port is provided on the upper part of the water box 811 for adding water to the water box 811. A sealing member 814, such as a rubber plug, is provided on the water filling port for sealing the water box 811 after the water filling is completed, so as to meet the water sealing requirements of the humidification mechanism of the maintenance storage device during the portable movement. In order to improve the water atomization effect and extend the service life of the atomizer sheet, the water in the water box 811 is preferably pure water or distilled water.

The prompter is used to perform a prompt action when the difference of the relative humidity obtained by the second sensor 51 is less than a preset value. Further, the prompter is specifically an alarm or a display, and the alarm is used to perform an alarm action when the difference of the relative humidity obtained by the second sensor 51 is less than a preset value.

The dehumidification box 91 is provided with a dehumidifying object inside, and the dehumidification box 91 is provided with a third air inlet and a third air outlet. The air outlet of the dehumidification fan 92 is connected to the third air inlet, and the dehumidification fan 92 is used to move the curing box 10 (such as Figure 2 The airflow in the dehumidification box 91 is drawn into the dehumidification box 91. Specifically, the dehumidification fan 92 is electrically connected to the controller 41.

[0064] See also Figure 12 to Figure 14 In one embodiment, the humidity adjustment mechanism further includes a dehumidification system cover 53 and a third sensor 56. The dehumidification system cover 53 is provided with a fourth air inlet 531 and a fourth air outlet 532. The dehumidification adjustment component 90 is arranged in the dehumidification system cover 53. The third sensor 56 is arranged at the fourth air outlet 532 for obtaining the relative humidity at the fourth air outlet 532. Specifically, the alarm is also used to perform an alarm action when the difference in relative humidity obtained by the third sensor 56 is less than a preset value.

[0065] The third sensor 56 can sense the humidity of the air after being processed by the dehumidification box 91, and is mainly used to determine whether the adsorption capacity of the dehumidification material in the dehumidification box 91 is invalid. A specific judgment method is: judge the change of the humidity sensing value twice at a preset time interval (for example, 60s), that is, the difference between the two humidity values. When it is less than a certain value (such as 10%, which depends on the accuracy of the humidity sensor), it is considered that the water absorption property of the dehumidification material in the dehumidification box 91 is invalid, and the controller 41 controls the alarm to operate, and alarms to replace the dehumidification material in the dehumidification box 91. Optionally, in order to facilitate the replacement of the dehumidification material in the dehumidification box 91, the dehumidification box 91 is detachably fixed on the dehumidification system cover 53 using, for example, a snap-on structure.

[0066] It should be noted that the third sensor 56 may also be disposed at other locations, such as Fig.14 As shown in the figure, it is located adjacent to the circulation fan 54. After the circulation fan 54 sucks the dehumidified gas into the dehumidification system cover 53, the humidity of the air after being processed by the dehumidification box 91 is sensed by the third sensor 56 to determine whether the adsorption capacity of the dehumidifying material in the dehumidification box 91 is invalid.

[0067] See also Figure 2 , Fig.16 and Fig.17 , Fig.16A cross-sectional view of a maintenance and storage device at one position according to an embodiment is shown; Fig.17 A cross-sectional view of a curing storage device according to an embodiment is shown at another position. In one embodiment, the curing box 10 includes an inner wall plate 13, an outer wall plate 14, and an insulation layer 15 disposed between the inner wall plate 13 and the outer wall plate 14. In this way, the curing box 10 has a better insulation effect.

[0068] In order to reduce the thickness between the inner wall panel 13 and the outer wall panel 14, increase the effective volume of the inner cavity, and ensure the thermal insulation performance at the same time, VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panel) board, polyurethane foam board or VIP and polyurethane composite structure board can be added to the insulation layer 15 to enhance the thermal insulation effect.

[0069] Further, it should be noted that the bottom of the inner wall panel 13, the bottom of the insulation layer 15 and the bottom of the outer wall panel 14 constitute the bottom plate 111, and the four side portions of the inner wall panel 13, the four side portions of the insulation layer 15 and the four side portions of the outer wall panel 14 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, respectively constituting the first side panel 112, the second side panel 115, the third side panel 116 and the fourth side panel 117.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the curing box 10 is provided with a handle assembly 16, which is mainly used for carrying the curing box 10 during the moving process. In addition, a switch lock 17 for opening, closing and locking the box body 11 and the cover body 12 is provided on the handle assembly 16. To ensure privacy, the switch lock 17 is specifically a password lock, and the exclusive use of the curing box 10 is ensured by setting a password.

[0071] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig.15 , Fig.15 The schematic diagram of the structure of the cigar rack in the curing and storage device described in one embodiment is illustrated. Further, in order to facilitate the fixing and storage of cigars and to avoid the displacement of cigars during the movement of the curing box 10, a cigar rack 18 is provided in the curing box 10. In order to better maintain and age the cigars, the material of the cigar rack 18 is preferably cedar wood. The cigar rack 18 is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the curing box 10 by fasteners such as self-tapping screws. In order to improve the space utilization rate, the cigar rack 18 can be divided into two layers, and the two layers of cigar racks 18 are connected by support columns 19 with self-locking snap functions. Specifically, four snap holes 181 are respectively provided at the four corners of the cigar rack 18, and there are four support columns 19, and the two cigar racks 18 are detachably connected through the four support columns 19. In addition, a plurality of sockets 182 are provided on the cigar rack 18, and the cigars are inserted and fixed in the sockets 182 and taken out as needed.

[0072] In one embodiment, the cigar rack 18 has at least two layers, and the at least two layers of cigar racks 18 are stacked in sequence from top to bottom.

[0073] When the inner cavity space of the curing box 10 is large, in order to ensure the uniformity of the temperature and humidity distribution inside the entire curing box 10, the flow of airflow on each inner wall and space is strengthened. In one embodiment, the curing storage device also includes a circulation fan 54. The circulation fan 54 is disposed in the curing box 10, and the circulation fan 54 is electrically connected to the controller 41. In this way, the controller 41 controls the circulation fan 54 to work, so that the airflow in the curing box 10 circulates and fills the entire curing box 10, which is conducive to achieving a relatively balanced relative humidity in the curing box 10.

[0074] Specifically, the second sensor 51 and the alarm are both electrically connected to the controller 41. The controller 41 receives the relative humidity at the second air outlet 521 sensed by the second sensor 51. If the relative humidity change value at a preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is less than a preset value (e.g., 10%), it indicates that the water box 811 is short of water or the atomizing humidification component 81 is faulty. At this time, the atomizing humidification component 81 is controlled to stop working, replenish water or maintain the atomizing humidification component 81, so that the staff can be reminded in time. If the relative humidity change value at a preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is greater than a preset value, the humidification fan 83 is turned on, and the humidification airflow is circulated to the entire curing box 10 through the humidification fan 83 to reduce the relative humidity in the entire curing box 10.

[0075] It should be noted that the relative humidity change value of the preset time interval (for example, 60S) is the difference between the relative humidity at the second air outlet 521 obtained by the second sensor 51 at, for example, the 0S, and the relative humidity at the second air outlet 521 obtained at, for example, the 60S.

[0076] Specifically, the first sensor 30 is a temperature and humidity probe.

[0077] Specifically, the second sensor 51 is a temperature and humidity probe, and the second sensor 51 can not only obtain the relative humidity at the second air outlet 521 , but also be used to obtain the ambient temperature at the second air outlet 521 .

[0078] Specifically, the third sensor 56 is a temperature and humidity probe, and the third sensor 56 can not only obtain the relative humidity at the fourth air outlet 532 , but also be used to obtain the ambient temperature at the fourth air outlet 532 .

[0079] See also Figures 2 to 4When the controller 41 determines that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is high (for example, the relative humidity is greater than 80%), the dehumidification fan 92 is controlled to work accordingly, and the dehumidification fan 92 draws the air with high humidity in the curing box 10 into the dehumidification box 91, and the dehumidification box 91 dehumidifies the air and discharges it into the curing box 10 to reduce the relative humidity in the curing box 10. 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.

[0080] See also Figures 2 to 4 , further, the circulation fan 54 has an independent air inlet and outlet. The circulation fan 54 can be set at the front end or the rear end of the dehumidification system cover 53, and there is no restriction here. The circulation fan 54 is not controlled by the relative humidity parameters in the curing box 10, and always maintains a constant pressure working state. Its function is to strengthen the flow of airflow in the inner cavity of the curing box 10. In the non-dehumidification mode, since the dehumidification fan 92 is not working, the airflow in the curing box 10 does not pass through the dehumidification material of the dehumidification box 91, and the humidity of the airflow in the curing box 10 does not change; when the dehumidification mode is started, the dehumidification fan 92 works, and the airflow will pass through the dehumidification box 91, thereby reducing the relative humidity of the airflow and achieving the purpose of changing the humidity. Further, the humidification system cover 52 and the dehumidification system cover 53 are plastic covers, and are specifically fixed to the inner wall of the box body 11 using self-tapping screws or snap-on structures. The humidification system cover 52 and the dehumidification system cover 53 can also be made of other materials, and can also be fixed to the inner wall of the curing box 10 by other means.

[0081] See also Figure 2 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 Furthermore, a wind baffle 55 is provided in the dehumidification system cover 53, and the wind baffle 55 divides the dehumidification system cover 53 into two spaces. The dehumidification box 91 and the dehumidification fan 92 are arranged in one of the spaces, and the fourth air inlet 531 and the fourth air outlet 532 on the dehumidification system cover 53 are connected to the space. The circulation fan 54 is arranged in the other space, and the dehumidification system cover 53 is also provided with a fifth air inlet 533 and a fifth air outlet 534 connected to the other space. When the circulation fan 54 is working, the airflow in the curing box 10 enters through the fifth air inlet 533 and is discharged from the fifth air outlet 534, which can realize the driving of the airflow in the curing box 10 to circulate.

[0082] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, a temperature and humidity control method for a storage device according to any of the above embodiments comprises the following steps:

[0083] Obtaining relative humidity and temperature in the curing box 10;

[0084] When both the temperature and the relative humidity do not conform to the preset range, the temperature in the curing box 10 is first adjusted to reach the preset range, and then the relative humidity is adjusted to the preset range.

[0085] In the temperature and humidity control method for the above-mentioned maintenance and storage device, the two parameters of the inner cavity temperature and relative humidity of the box body 11 are interrelated, that is, temperature adjustment will affect the humidity change, so temperature adjustment takes precedence over humidity control, that is, temperature adjustment is completed first to control the inner cavity temperature of the box body 11 within the required temperature range (such as 16-20°C); when the inner cavity temperature of the box body 11 has met the requirements, humidity control is completed, so that humidity adjustment (humidification / dehumidification) has no effect on the temperature in the box body 11 or the effect is minimal.

[0086] Furthermore, adjusting the temperature in the curing box 10 to reach a preset range specifically includes the following steps:

[0087] S110, obtaining the temperature in the curing box 10;

[0088] S120, when it is determined that the temperature in the curing box 10 is lower than the first set value, the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 is turned on to heat the curing box 10;

[0089] S130 , when it is determined that the temperature in the curing box 10 is higher than the second set value, the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 is turned on to cool the curing box 10 .

[0090] Taking the preset range of controlling the temperature in the curing box 10 to be 16° C. to 20° C. as an example, a specific control embodiment includes the following steps:

[0091] When the temperature in the curing box 10 is T<15℃ or T<Tset (Tset is the temperature setting value), the TEC heating mode is started (heating and cooling are based on cooling and heating of the inner cavity of the box 11), that is, the TEC voltage polarity is controlled so that the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 delivers hot air to the inner cavity of the box 11.

[0092] According to the special requirements of cigar maintenance and aging temperature uniformity, it is necessary to avoid heat concentration at the air outlet, which would cause large temperature fluctuations in the inner cavity of the box 11. TEC The control mode is adopted to gradually increase from small to large. Specifically, the TEC starting voltage U is first set TEC0 , (U can be selected TEC0 ≥0V), according to the temperature parameters collected by the temperature sensor set at the air inlet, gradually increase U linearly TEC The increase rate is, for example, 1 V / min to 6 V / min.

[0093] There are two control modes at this time:

[0094] The first control method, U TEC From UTEC0 Continuously increasing, at a certain working voltage U TEC1 ≤U TECmax (TEC maximum operating voltage, such as 12V) working condition, satisfying T = Tset, then U TEC =U TEC1 The state continues until Tset changes, T, U TEC Their relationship curves with time t are as follows Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown;

[0095] The second control method, from U TEC0 Continue to increase to U TECmax , still cannot satisfy T=Tset, at this time, U TEC1 =U TECmax The state will continue until the temperature T≈Tset+ΔT (ΔT=1~2℃), U TEC The PID control mode is adopted with T until T≈Tset is achieved, T, U TEC Their relationship curves with time t are as follows Fig. 20 and Fig.21 shown.

[0096] When the temperature in the box is T>20°C or T>Tset, the TEC cooling mode is started, that is, the polarity of the TEC voltage is controlled to be opposite to that in the heating mode, so that the temperature adjustment mechanism 20 delivers cold air to the inner cavity of the box body 11.

[0097] Voltage U TEC The control curve with temperature T is as follows Fig. 22 As shown, in the temperature range of Tset-ΔT to Tset+ΔT, U TEC -T adopts PID control method, U TEC in U TECmin ~U TECmax Interval, that is, a value U between the minimum and maximum cooling capacity of TEC TEC1 When the corresponding TEC cooling capacity is equal to the heat leakage, the dynamic balance of cooling capacity and heat is achieved. At this time, the temperature in the box will be stable between Tset-ΔT and Tset+ΔT, preferably ΔT=0.5~1℃, that is, the temperature in the box is controlled at the set temperature Tset±0.5~Tset±1℃.

[0098] For a certain type of special use condition, such as the first initial setting temperature is 18°C, and the box 11 is stabilized at 18°C ​​through the heating mode. At this time, the setting value is suddenly reduced from 18°C ​​to 17°C. According to the above control procedure, the temperature control system should switch the working mode to cooling. When TEC changes from heating to cooling mode by changing the positive and negative voltage polarity, the difference between 17°C and 18°C ​​is small, which often causes temperature overshoot, that is, after the 18°C ​​full-power cooling process begins, due to the thermal inertia of the temperature in the box, the induced temperature lags behind the actual box temperature, and it has been working in the full-power cooling state, causing the final box temperature to be lower than 17°C. If the above control procedure is followed, it will start to switch to heating mode again, resulting in TEC constantly switching between heating and cooling working modes, which will first cause temperature fluctuations in the box; secondly, due to the continuous switching of TEC between hot and cold, the internal stress will continue to change, which will reduce the service life and stability of TEC. Therefore, in order to avoid the above working conditions, a buffer control program is added when switching from heating mode to cooling mode. One of the implementation plans is: after the TEC positive and negative polarity switching is completed, the initial working voltage is set to a part of the full working voltage, such as 50% U TECmax , such as U TECmax =12V, then U TEC0 =6V, and stabilize for a period of time, such as 30s~60S, to give the temperature field in the box a buffer change balance process, and then adjust the TEC working voltage to the maximum cooling state, that is, the full working voltage state, thereby effectively solving the problem of repeated switching of the heating-cooling mode mentioned above, and improving the service life, working reliability and stability of TEC.

[0099] One embodiment of the speed control of the heat dissipation and cooling fan is: the second heat dissipation fan 25 preferably adopts constant voltage operation, and the working voltage is relatively high, such as 12V, which is mainly used to ensure the full exchange of the airflow in the inner cavity of the box 11, and ensure the uniform distribution of the temperature and humidity in the inner cavity. For the first heat dissipation fan 24 located outside the box 11, taking into account heat exchange, working noise and service life, a variable voltage working mode is adopted, that is, the working voltage of the first heat dissipation fan 24 is consistent with the TEC working voltage, and preferably a parallel mode with the TEC is adopted. In the cooling mode, the TEC working voltage is high, the heat generation is large, and the required heat dissipation is also large. Therefore, the first heat dissipation fan 24 works at a high speed, that is, the heat exchange is large, which achieves matching with the heat generation, and the TEC cooling capacity and conversion efficiency are also improved; on the contrary, the low voltage TEC corresponds to a low fan voltage, which matches the heat exchange, reduces the noise, and improves the service life of the first heat dissipation fan 24. The same is true for the TEC heating mode. The TEC working voltage is high, the speed of the first heat dissipation fan 24 is high, and the TEC cooling capacity is large. According to the aforementioned energy conservation, the corresponding TEC heat generation is large, which improves the heating efficiency.

[0100] Furthermore, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to reach a preset range specifically includes the following steps:

[0101] S210, obtaining the relative humidity in the curing box 10;

[0102] S220, when it is determined that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is lower than the first preset value, the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is turned on to allow the humidified atomized water molecules to enter the evaporation housing 821;

[0103] S230, turn off the humidification component, turn on the humidification fan 83 to evaporate the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body for a second time and discharge them into the curing box 10. The first preset value is specifically, for example, 60%.

[0104] In this way, when humidification is required, the atomizing humidifying component 81 is turned on, and the atomizing humidifying component 81 sends the humidified atomized water molecule airflow into the evaporation shell 821 through the humidified 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 10. After the atomizing humidifying component 81 stops working, the humidifying fan 83 is started again, and the airflow generated by the humidifying fan 83 is used to perform secondary evaporation on the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment body, and the water molecules are sent into the box with the wind flow generated by the humidifying fan 83, so as to increase the humidity in the box, so that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is controlled at 60% to 70%.

[0105] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 , further, before the atomizing humidifying component 81 is turned on, the method includes step S212: obtaining the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52, which is recorded as a first detection value;

[0106] After the atomizing humidifying component 81 is turned on and before the humidifying component is turned off, the following steps are also included:

[0107] S222, when the atomizing humidifying component 81 is turned on for the first preset working time, the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52 is obtained, recorded as the second detection value, and it is determined whether the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52 (the second detection value) is higher than the first internal setting value;

[0108] The first preset working time is set according to actual conditions and is related to the humidification capacity of the atomizing and humidifying component 81, and is not limited. The first internal value is, for example, 80%, and is not limited either.

[0109] If the relative humidity in the humidification system cover 52 is higher than the first internal setting value, the process proceeds to step S230; if the relative humidity in the humidification system cover 52 is lower than the first internal setting value, the process proceeds to step S224.

[0110] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11Further, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to reach a preset range also includes:

[0111] Step S224, the atomizing and humidifying component 81 continues to delay working for the second preset working time, and obtains the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52 again, which is recorded as the third detection value;

[0112] The second preset working time is, for example, 2S to 4S, and specifically, 3S.

[0113] Step S225, obtaining a relative humidity change value in the humidification system cover 52 according to the third detection value and the first detection value;

[0114] Step S226: determine whether the water box 811 is short of water or the atomizing humidification component 81 is faulty according to the relative humidity change value.

[0115] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 Specifically, if the relative humidity change value of the preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is less than the preset value (e.g., 10%), it is prompted that the water box 811 is short of water or the atomizing humidification component 81 is faulty. At this time, the atomizing humidification component 81 is controlled to stop working, replenish water or maintain the atomizing humidification component 81, so that the staff can be reminded in time. If the relative humidity change value of the preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is greater than the preset value, the humidification fan 83 is turned on, and the humidification airflow is circulated to the entire curing box 10 through the humidification fan 83 to reduce the relative humidity in the entire curing box 10, and enter step S212.

[0116] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 Further, after step S230, the following step is further included: the humidifying fan 83 is turned on for a third preset working time and then turned off, and the process returns to step S210. The third preset working time is, for example, 25S to 35S, specifically, 30S.

[0117] See also Figure 2 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 Further, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to a preset range also includes the following steps: when it is determined that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is higher than a second preset value, turning on the dehumidification fan 92 to increase the relative humidity in the curing box 10. The second preset value is, for example, 75%, that is, when it is determined that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is higher than 75%, a dehumidification action is performed to achieve the relative humidity in the curing box 10 being controlled at 60% to 70%.

[0118] As the volume of the inner cavity of the curing box 10 increases and there is a positional difference between the second air outlet 521 of the humidification system cover 52 and the fourth air outlet 532 of the dehumidification system cover 53 and the first sensor 30, when the humidification or dehumidification mode is started, as the airflow in the inner cavity of the curing box 10 changes, the humidity in the curing box 10 will show a dynamic distribution unevenness, until the humidification or dehumidification working mode is stopped for a certain period of time, the humidity in the curing box 10 can gradually tend to a uniform static equilibrium distribution, that is, there is a delayed equilibrium process from the start of humidification or dehumidification to the final static equilibrium distribution of humidity. The humidity that ultimately needs to be achieved is the final static equilibrium humidity in the curing box 10. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify whether the humidity sensing value in the curing box 10 is a static equilibrium value or a dynamically changing value, so as to correctly use the humidification and dehumidification modes. Based on this, further, the humidification method of the curing storage device also includes the following steps:

[0119] When the humidity in the inner cavity of the curing box 10 differs greatly from the set value, a continuous humidification or dehumidification mode is adopted;

[0120] When the humidity value in the curing box 10 is close to the set value (for example, within 2%), intermittent humidification or intermittent dehumidification and delayed balance mode are adopted.

[0121] Specifically, the humidification or dehumidification operation is performed for 5 seconds, and then balanced for 30 seconds, and then the humidification or dehumidification operation is performed again, and this process is repeated continuously so that the humidity in the curing box 10 gradually reaches the set value.

[0122] In order to avoid humidity adjustment overshoot when approaching the set humidity value, resulting in alternating dehumidification and humidification, that is, when humidification is just completed and the humidity exceeds the set value, the humidity adjustment system switches to dehumidification mode again, and the dehumidification humidity overshoots and enters humidification again, causing humidification and dehumidification to form a vicious cycle in the inner cavity of the box 11, and eventually the water in the humidification water box 811 is exhausted and the dehumidification adsorbent is ineffective. Based on this, further, the humidification method of the maintenance storage device also includes the following steps:

[0123] Increase the difference between the upper and lower limits of humidification and dehumidification, that is, assuming the set humidity value is RHset, the humidification limit is RHset-ΔRH (humidification from low humidity ends at this value, and is set as the upper limit for starting humidification. Humidification starts when it is less than this value), and the dehumidification limit is RHset+ΔRH (dehumidification from high humidity ends at this value, and is set as the lower limit for starting dehumidification. Dehumidification starts when it is greater than this value). Increase ΔRH (this value is related to the required humidity control accuracy), increase the switching value between the two different modes of humidification and dehumidification, and reduce the risk of forming a vicious cycle of dehumidification and humidification.

[0124] Furthermore, a delay is added when switching between the dehumidification and humidification modes. That is, when humidification or dehumidification is switched to another mode, the mode is first stopped for a period of time (such as 5 minutes), and then whether to switch is determined based on the humidity parameters in the box, thereby fully ensuring that the humidity in the maintenance box 10 is in a stable state, thereby effectively solving the vicious cycle problem of dehumidification and humidification.
