Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of archives management, and more particularly to an adjustable archive cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] High-density filing cabinets are a new type of equipment suitable for storing books, documents, goods, financial documents, and other items in the libraries, archives, and sample rooms of government agencies, enterprises, and institutions. Compared with traditional bookshelves, shelves, and filing cabinets, they have a larger storage capacity, save space, and are more traditional.

[0003] Existing filing cabinets generally lack adjustment functions, which affects the flexibility of storage and retrieval. Furthermore, existing cabinets lack insect repellent and dehumidification functions, and both dampness and insects can affect the storage of archives. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, designing an adjustable filing cabinet is something we need to consider. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable filing cabinet. This cabinet has an adjustable function, which facilitates the storage and retrieval of files. It is also equipped with a semiconductor cooling chip, which uses the cold end for dehumidification and the hot end for insect repellent, achieving the effect of dehumidification and insect prevention, effectively protecting the storage of internal files.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An adjustable filing cabinet includes a shell. Inside the shell, from top to bottom, are arranged a storage chamber, a rectangular cavity, a strip-shaped cavity, and a gas distribution cavity. Multiple horizontal plates are horizontally arranged inside the storage chamber. The left and right sides of each horizontal plate are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the storage chamber. Each horizontal plate has a T-shaped groove at its upper end. Each T-shaped groove contains multiple T-shaped blocks for left and right sliding. The upper end of each T-shaped block passes through the corresponding T-shaped groove and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. A gas circulation mechanism is provided both inside the storage chamber and outside the shell. A dehumidification and insect-repelling mechanism is provided inside the rectangular cavity. An adjustment mechanism is provided inside the strip-shaped cavity.

[0007] Preferably, each of the T-shaped grooves has a magnetic strip embedded in its inner bottom, and each of the T-shaped blocks is magnetic and is attracted to the adjacent surfaces of the corresponding magnetic strips by opposite polarities.

[0008] Preferably, the gas circulation mechanism includes a fan installed on the left side of the housing, the outlet of the fan extending into the gas distribution chamber, multiple connecting pipes connecting the left and right sides of the storage chamber, the left ends of the connecting pipes on the left side connecting to the inlet of the fan, a partition vertically arranged in the middle of the rectangular cavity dividing the rectangular cavity into a dehumidification space on the left and an insect-repelling space on the right, the top space of the gas distribution chamber connecting to the dehumidification space and the driving space through two connecting channels, the strip-shaped cavity passing through the two connecting channels, the top spaces of the driving space and the dehumidification space connecting to two air outlet pipes, the other ends of the two air outlet pipes connecting to a vertical pipe, and the right end of the connecting pipe on the right side connecting to the vertical pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the dehumidification and insect repelling mechanism includes a semiconductor cooling chip embedded in a partition, with the cold end of the semiconductor cooling chip located in the dehumidification space and the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip located in the insect repelling space. Both the cold and hot ends of the semiconductor cooling chip are equipped with temperature-conducting plates. Insect repelling components are installed on the right side wall of the insect repelling space, and a water storage tank is provided at the bottom of the left side space of the dehumidification space.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a slider slidably connected in the strip cavity, the slider having a vertically penetrating opening that engages with two connecting channels, the right side of the slider being elastically connected to the right inner wall of the strip cavity via a spring, an electromagnet being installed on the right inner wall of the strip cavity, the slider being magnetic and attracting the adjacent surfaces of the electromagnet after it is energized with opposite polarities.

[0011] Preferably, a smart control switch is installed on the right side of the housing, and the smart control switch is electrically connected to the fan and the semiconductor cooling chip.

[0012] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed in the air outlet duct on the right side, a temperature-conducting box is installed at the top of the insect-repelling space, a sliding block for left and right sliding is provided in the temperature-conducting box, an air bladder is provided between the left side of the sliding block and the left inner wall of the temperature-conducting box, the air bladder is filled with high-temperature expansion liquid, and a touch delay switch is installed on the right inner wall of the temperature-conducting box, the touch delay switch is used to control the electromagnet and the solenoid valve.

[0013] Preferably, an adsorption element is installed at the lower end of the air outlet duct located on the left side.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. The distance between the two limit plates can be adjusted according to the number of files to ensure that files of different quantities can be limited. The distance between the limit plates can also be adjusted when retrieving the files to facilitate subsequent retrieval.

[0016] 2. Open the sliding door, store the files, and then close the door. After closing the door, turn on the intelligent control switch. The fan and semiconductor cooling chip will start working. In the initial state, a circulating airflow will be generated from the storage chamber to the fan, the gas distribution chamber, the dehumidification space, and back to the storage chamber. After the airflow passes through the dehumidification space, the temperature drops, which can precipitate the excess water vapor in the space and let it flow into the water storage tank in the form of water droplets, thus achieving the purpose of cooling and drying the air.

[0017] 3. As the temperature at the hot end continues to rise, the solenoid valve and electromagnet are energized. The energized electromagnet attracts the entire slider to move to the right, opening the connection channel on the right side. This generates a circulating airflow from the storage chamber to the fan, then to the gas distribution chamber, the insect-repelling space, and back to the storage chamber. This circulating airflow will discharge the insect-repelling gas that evaporates in the storage space into the storage chamber. Since the dehumidification space is sealed at this time, the temperature of the overall flowing gas will gradually rise as it passes through the insect-repelling space. The increased gas temperature increases the spacing between the driving gas molecules, resulting in better odor diffusion and thus improving the insect-repelling effect, achieving a better insect prevention purpose.

[0018] 4. Before opening the sliding door, the user can activate the intelligent control switch and set a short circuit conduction time to ensure that the temperature in the insect repellent space is insufficient for the thermal expansion liquid to fully expand. During this time period, the fan and semiconductor cooling chip will work, and the pungent odor generated by the insect repellent can be absorbed by the adsorption component in the circulating airflow from the storage chamber to the fan, gas distribution chamber, dehumidification space, and storage chamber, thus avoiding affecting the user's experience.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 An adjustable filing cabinet includes a shell 1. Inside the shell 1, from top to bottom, there are a storage chamber 5, a rectangular cavity 3, a strip cavity 22, and a gas distribution cavity 24. The front of the shell 1 is also provided with a sliding door (not shown) to facilitate the storage of files into the storage chamber 5. Multiple horizontal plates 7 are arranged horizontally inside the storage chamber 5. The left and right sides of each horizontal plate 7 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the storage chamber 5. The upper end of each horizontal plate 7 is provided with a T-shaped groove 18. Multiple T-shaped blocks 20 for left and right sliding are provided in each T-shaped groove 18. The upper end of each T-shaped block 20 passes through the corresponding T-shaped groove 18 and is fixedly connected with a limit plate 21. A magnetic strip 19 is embedded in the bottom of each T-shaped groove 18. Each T-shaped block 20 is magnetic and its adjacent surfaces are attracted by opposite polarities to the corresponding magnetic strip 19.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, a gas circulation mechanism is provided both inside the storage chamber 5 and outside the shell 1. The gas circulation mechanism includes a fan 8 installed on the left side of the shell 1. The fan 8 is an existing circulating fan. The air outlet of the fan 8 extends into the gas distribution chamber 24. Multiple connecting pipes 6 are connected to the left and right sides of the storage chamber 5. The left ends of the connecting pipes 6 on the left side are all connected to the air inlet of the fan 8. A partition 9 is vertically provided in the middle of the rectangular cavity 3. The partition 9 divides the rectangular cavity 3 into a dehumidification space on the left and an insect-repelling space on the right. The top space of the gas distribution chamber 24 is connected to the dehumidification space and the driving space through two connecting channels 25. The strip cavity 22 passes through the two connecting channels 25. The top spaces of the driving space and the dehumidification space are connected to two air outlet pipes 12. The other ends of the two air outlet pipes 12 are connected to a vertical pipe 16. The right end of the connecting pipe 6 on the right side is connected to the vertical pipe 16.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present invention, a dehumidification and insect repelling mechanism is provided in the rectangular cavity 3. The dehumidification and insect repelling mechanism includes a semiconductor cooling chip 10 embedded in the partition 9. The cold end of the semiconductor cooling chip 10 is located in the dehumidification space, and the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip 10 is located in the insect repelling space. Both the cold and hot ends of the semiconductor cooling chip 10 are equipped with temperature guiding plates 11. An insect repelling component 15 is installed on the right side wall of the insect repelling space. The insect repelling component 15 is made of a material similar to camphor balls. High temperature can make it evaporate faster and the insect repelling effect better. A water storage tank 4 is provided at the bottom of the left side space of the dehumidification space. A sealing port is installed on the front side of the water storage tank 4. A sealing plug is provided on the sealing port to facilitate the subsequent release of water.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, an adjustment mechanism is provided inside the strip cavity 22. The adjustment mechanism includes a slider 23 slidably connected inside the strip cavity 22. An opening 26 is vertically provided through the slider 23. The opening 26 cooperates with two connecting channels 25. The right side of the slider 23 is elastically connected to the right inner wall of the strip cavity 22 by a spring 27. An electromagnet 28 is installed on the right inner wall of the strip cavity 22. The slider 23 is magnetic and its adjacent surfaces are attracted by opposite polarities to the electromagnet 28 after it is energized.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, a smart control switch 17 is installed on the right side of the housing 1. The smart control switch 17 is an existing touch screen switch that can control the power-on time of the switch. The smart control switch 17 is electrically connected to the fan 8 and the semiconductor cooling chip 10. A solenoid valve 13 is installed in the air outlet duct 12 located on the right side. A temperature conducting box 14 is installed at the top of the insect repellent space. A sliding block 29 for left and right sliding is provided in the temperature conducting box 14. The sliding block 29 is made of conductive material. A conductive plate is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the temperature conducting box 14. The conductive plate is electrically connected to the ground through a wire. An air bladder 30 is provided between the left side of the sliding block 29 and the left inner wall of the temperature conducting box 14. The air bladder 30 is filled with a high-temperature expansion liquid, which is a hexane solution with a boiling point of 69°C. A touch delay switch 31 is installed on the right inner wall of the temperature conducting box 14. After being touched, the touch delay switch 31 will be powered on for a period of time and then automatically turn off. The touch delay switch 31 is used to control the electromagnet 28 and the solenoid valve 13.

[0031] In this invention, during actual use, the distance between the two limiting plates 21 can be adjusted according to the number of files to ensure that files of different quantities can be limited. Furthermore, the distance between the limiting plates 21 can be adjusted when the files are removed to facilitate subsequent removal.

[0032] When in use, open the sliding door, store the files, and then close the door. After closing the door, activate the intelligent control switch 17 (the activation time of the intelligent control switch 17 can be controlled according to actual needs; this is existing technology). After the intelligent control switch 17 is activated, the fan 8 and the thermoelectric cooler 10 begin to work. The left side of the thermoelectric cooler 10 cools, while the right side heats. This results in the temperature of the temperature-conducting plate 11 on the left being lower, and the temperature of the temperature-conducting plate 11 on the right being higher. In the initial state, such as... Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the opening 26 in the slider 23 is in the position of Figure 3 In this state, the connecting channel 25 on the left is in an unobstructed state, which will generate a circulating airflow from storage chamber 5 → fan 8 → gas distribution chamber 24 → dehumidification space → storage chamber 5. After the airflow passes through the dehumidification space, the temperature decreases, which can precipitate the excess water vapor in it and let it flow into the water storage tank 4 in the form of water droplets, thus achieving the purpose of cooling and drying the air.

[0033] During the above process, as the temperature of the hot end continues to rise, the insect repellent component 15 in the drive space will continuously evaporate. As the temperature rises, the thermal expansion fluid in the airbag 30 will expand, causing the sliding block 29 to move to the right. After the sliding block 29 moves to the right and contacts the touch delay switch 31, the touch delay switch 31 will be energized for a period of time and then automatically close. At this time, the solenoid valve 13 and the electromagnet 28 are energized. The electromagnet 28 is energized, attracting the entire slider 23 to move to the right, opening the connection channel 25 on the right side. At this time, a circulating airflow will be generated from the storage chamber 5 to the fan 8 to the gas distribution chamber 24 to the insect repellent space and back to the storage chamber 5. This circulating airflow will discharge the insect repellent gas evaporated in the drive space into the storage chamber 5. Since the dehumidification space is sealed at this time, the temperature of the overall flowing gas will gradually rise as it passes through the insect repellent space. The increase in gas temperature will increase the distance between the driving gas molecules, and the odor diffusion effect will be better, thereby improving the insect repellent effect and achieving a better insect prevention purpose.

[0034] When the closing time of the intelligent control switch 17 is reached, the semiconductor cooling chip 8 and the fan 8 stop moving, and the heat dissipation of the gas slowly dissipates. As the heat source decreases, the temperature of the thermal expansion fluid slowly decreases, eventually becoming liquid again and returning to its initial state. The solenoid valve 13 closes, and the slider 23 returns to its initial state. Figure 3 state. Example

[0035] Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that an adsorption element 2 is installed at the lower end of the air outlet pipe 12 on the left side, and the adsorption element 2 can be activated carbon.

[0036] In this embodiment, before the user needs to open the sliding door, the intelligent control switch 17 can be activated first, and a short circuit conduction time can be set to ensure that the temperature in the insect repellent space is not high enough to allow the thermal expansion liquid to fully expand. During this time period, the fan 8 and the semiconductor cooling chip 10 work, and in the circulating airflow from storage chamber 5 to fan 8 to gas distribution chamber 24 to dehumidification space to storage chamber 5, the pungent odor generated by the insect repellent 15 can be absorbed by the adsorption component 2 to avoid affecting the user's experience. This time period can be 10 seconds.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
