[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1: Figures 1 to 6As shown, a cigar box-type closed water supply structure for a cigar cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a water tank 2, a water supply cigar box 3, a water pipe 4, a water receiving trough 5, and a water guide device 6. The water tank 2 and the water pipe 4 are located in the cabinet body. The top surface of the water supply cigar box is open, and the water supply cigar box 3 is placed on a guide rail, and the guide rail 7 is connected to the two inner sides of the cabinet body. The water guide device 6 is arranged in the water supply cigar box 3. The inner end of the water guide device 6 is provided with a water outlet for the water guide device, and the water outlet of the water guide device is provided with a diversion structure 8, which guides the water out. The water guide device is provided with a water supply box 9, which is located in the water supply cigar box. The water supply box 9 is provided with a water receiving box outlet connected to the water guide device. The water guide device is a long strip of water guide trough. A water trough 5 is located below the water cigar box, with the diversion structure 8 facing the trough's opening. The trough is long and narrow, and as the water cigar box is pulled along the guide rails, the diversion structure remains aligned with the trough's opening. The trough has a water outlet, which connects to one end of a water pipe 4, the other end of which is housed in the water tank 2. In this example, an improvement is to provide a hole in the cigar box corresponding to the diversion structure, allowing the diversion structure to pass through. The water inlet of the water box is equipped with a water filling cap 10. The trough is parallel to the guide rails.

[0034] Working Principle: When not adding water, the water-adding cigar box 3 of the present invention is located inside the cabinet, just like any other conventional cigar box 300. Its appearance is also similar to other cigar boxes. To add water to the water tank, the water-adding cigar box is pulled out, the water-adding cover is opened, and the water-adding box is aligned with the water-adding box. During water addition, water flows through the water-adding box into the water-guiding device. From the water-guiding device's outlet, water flows through the diversion structure to the water receiving trough, and then through the water-guiding box into the water tank. After adding water, the water-adding cigar box can be pushed back. Compared to the prior art, the process of removing the cigar box before adding water and reinstalling it after adding water can be omitted. Adding water is simple and convenient. There is no need to remove the cigar box from the water tank, eliminating the complex and tedious process. The space occupied by the water-adding box is eliminated, while the water-adding cigar box can also store cigars, saving space and embellishing its appearance.

[0035] In addition, in order to get more space in the water humidor, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the water box and water guide device can be removed and placed outside the cabinet to create more space for storing cigars. When water needs to be added, they can be installed again.

[0036] Example 2: The characteristics of this example are as follows: Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11As shown, the water guide device 6 is a tubular body 8, with the flow-guiding structure formed by bending one end of the tubular body. The outer end of the tubular body is directly and detachably connected to the outlet of the water filling box 9, achieving communication. The tubular body can be a flexible tube or a rigid tube. The structure is simple and easy to implement. This structure facilitates water filling, and the remaining features are similar to those of Example 1. The principles are similar to those of Example 1.

[0037] Example 3: This example is characterized in that a water adding fixed box 11 is provided inside the water adding cigar box. The top surface of the water adding fixed box is provided with a water adding fixed box opening, and the water adding box is arranged inside the water adding fixed box. The water adding cover 10 is exposed outside the water adding fixed box opening. This structure is convenient for fixing and isolates the water adding box inside the water adding cigar box, leaving extra space for cigars, and having an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The rest is the same as Example 2 or Example 1. In addition, in order to obtain a larger space in the water adding cigar box, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the water adding box, the water guiding device and the water adding fixing box can be removed and placed outside the cabinet to obtain a larger space for storing cigars.

[0038] Example 4: The characteristics of this example are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the water trough outlet 12 is located at the inner end of the trough, and the water conduit is installed on the inner back panel of the cabinet. This structure can conceal the water conduit, making the cabinet look beautiful. It achieves a compact structure and allows for a reasonable internal layout. The rest of the structure is the same as the above embodiments.

[0039] Example 5: This example features a water inlet located at the front of the water cigar box. This facilitates easy access to the water inlet upon pulling out the water cigar box, preventing obstruction by the upper cigar box and providing more space for water addition. The remaining features are the same as those of the previous examples.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
