[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] In low temperature environments, the humidity inside refrigeration equipment tends to drop to a low level, causing the moisture on the surface of items to evaporate, causing the items to dry out and deteriorate in quality. The humidification component releases water vapor or atomized water droplets to increase the humidity inside the equipment, thereby keeping the items moist and preventing them from being damaged by drying out.

[0027] Take the wine cabinet as an example. The humidification component in the wine cabinet is designed to maintain a suitable humidity environment in the wine cabinet. Red wine in particular needs to be stored at a constant humidity to prevent the cork from drying out and the wine from evaporating, thus maintaining the taste and quality of the wine. In simple terms, the humidification component of the wine cabinet ensures that the wine will not change its taste due to the dry environment.

[0028] The active humidification type humidification component generally includes a humidification fan and a water storage tank. Water or humidification materials such as volcanic rocks and non-woven fabrics containing water are placed in the water storage tank. The humidification fan is located at one end of the water storage tank and blows air toward the other end of the water storage tank. The high-humidity air in the water storage tank is brought to the wine cabinet through the humidification fan. Due to limited space, the area of ​​the humidification component is also limited. There is only one layer of water storage tank on the horizontal air outlet path, resulting in a small humidification area and low humidification efficiency.

[0029] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 9 It is described how the humidifying assembly 100 and the refrigeration device according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above problems.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification assembly 100 of an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 101, a first water storage member 115, a second water storage member 102, a first fan 103 and a cover plate 104. A first mounting groove 105 and a second mounting groove 106 are provided in the housing 101. A partition bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. The partition bar 107 is located at the bottom of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, so that the bottoms of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 cannot be connected, but the tops of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 can be connected. The first fan 103 is arranged in the first mounting groove 105, the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 are arranged in the second mounting groove 106, the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 are water boxes, liquid is stored in the water boxes, and the top of the water boxes is open, so that the liquid in the water boxes is in contact with the airflow blown out by the first fan 103. The second water storage member 102 is integrally formed with the housing 101 and becomes a part of the housing 101. The first water storage member 115 is separately arranged in the second installation groove 106, that is, the first water storage member 115 is an independent component. It can be understood that the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 can also be integrally formed with the housing 101 at the same time, or can be independent components at the same time.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, the cover plate 104 is connected to the housing 101 and is located above the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. There is a gap between the cover plate 104 and the housing 101 to form a humidification channel 302. The cover plate 104 is provided with a first air outlet 108. The area where the first air outlet 108 is located is defined as the air outlet area, and high humidity air flows out from the first air outlet 108. Specifically, the humidification channel 302 includes a first channel 303 and a second channel 304. The first channel 303 is located between the first water storage member 115 and the cover plate 104, and the second channel 304 is located between the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102. The first channel 303 and the second channel 304 are connected to the first air outlet 108 respectively. The first water storage member 115 is placed in the second water storage member 102, and the first water storage member 115 is in contact with the cover plate 104 to form the first channel 303. A second channel 304 is formed between the lower part of the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102. The first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 are arranged in the up-down direction, and the first channel 303 and the second channel 304 are arranged in the up-down direction. The first fan 103 is powered on and works. After the relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 and accelerated, the dry air passes through the first channel 303 and the second channel 304 respectively, that is, passes through the surface of the liquid in the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 respectively. The air with high humidity on the surface of the liquid is quickly taken away from the first air outlet 108 on the cover plate 104 to the target space to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the target space.

[0032] It is understandable that along the flow path of the airflow, the single-layer humidification structure is improved to a double-layer humidification structure, that is, the liquid surface area of ​​the first water storage member 115 is increased on the basis of the liquid surface area of ​​the second water storage member 102, thereby increasing the humidification area. The horizontal plane space where the humidification component 100 is installed on the refrigeration equipment is small. This embodiment does not increase the area of ​​the humidification component 100 on the horizontal plane, but the height space where the humidification component 100 is installed on the refrigeration equipment is sufficient. The humidification component 100 of this embodiment can make full use of the space in the height direction.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the first channel 303 and the second channel 304 may also be connected in series, that is, the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 first passes through the first channel 303, then passes through the second channel 304, and finally flows out from the first air outlet 108.

[0034] It should be noted that the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 may also include humidifying materials such as volcanic rocks and non-woven fabrics, that is, the humidifying material may be a porous dense structure water-absorbing material, and the diameter and volume of the holes on the porous dense structure water-absorbing material are smaller than the diameter and volume of the normally dripping water droplets, so that the water droplets cannot flow through the porous dense structure water-absorbing material, while allowing airflow to pass through. The airflow blown out by the first fan 103 enters the second mounting groove 106 from above the partition bar 107, contacts the humidifying material and takes away the moisture stored in the humidifying material, thereby forming high-humidity air. The first fan 103 is powered on, and after the relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 to accelerate, the dry air quickly passes through the surface of the humidifying material and is blown out from the first air outlet 108, and the air with high humidity on the surface of the humidifying material is quickly taken to the target space and mixed with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the target space. After the humid air above the humidifying material is taken away, it can quickly absorb the moisture at the bottom of the water storage member and evaporate to the top (the water vapor density is small), so that the air above the humidifying material remains in a high humidity state. The first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 can also be humidifiers, such as ultrasonic humidifiers and steam (thermal evaporation) humidifiers, wherein the ultrasonic humidifier uses a high-frequency vibrating ultrasonic transducer (usually a ceramic or metal element) to atomize water into micron-sized particles, and then blows the water mist into the air through a fan. This technology does not generate heat, so it is called a "cold mist" humidifier. The steam humidifier heats the water to boiling through a heating element to generate steam, and then releases the steam into the air. This type of humidifier is also called a "hot mist" humidifier.

[0035] It is understandable that, in some other embodiments, the first fan 103 may also be disposed outside the housing 101 , and a first air inlet hole connected to the first fan 103 is correspondingly disposed on the housing 101 .

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it is understandable that the second mounting groove 106 is designed in a long strip shape, which lengthens the length of the water storage member and makes the water surface area larger, which helps to increase the evaporation rate of water. During the humidification process, more water molecules can be exposed to the air, thereby accelerating evaporation.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the number of the first air outlets 108 of the humidifying component 100 is multiple, and the air outlet area is divided into the first air outlet area D1 and the second air outlet area D2, and the multiple first air outlets 108 are respectively distributed in the first air outlet area D1 and the second air outlet area D2. Along the air flow direction, the length of the first water storage member 115 is less than the length of the second water storage member 102, so that the airflow of the first channel 303 is blown out from the first air outlet area D1, and the airflow of the second channel 304 is blown out from the second air outlet area D2, reducing mutual interference.

[0038] It is understandable that the humidifying component 100 may also have only one first air outlet 108, that is, the airflow in the first channel 303 and the second channel 304 is blown out from the same first air outlet 108. However, if the humidifying component 100 has only one first air outlet 108, that is, the first air outlet 108 is continuous and uninterrupted, the size and position of the first air outlet 108 correspond to the size and position of the second mounting groove 106, most of the wind blown out by the first fan 103 tends to flow out from the end of the first air outlet 108 close to the first fan 103, resulting in only a small part of the wind blown out by the first fan 103 reaching the other end of the second mounting groove 106, the water in the second mounting groove 106 evaporates unevenly, the water utilization rate is low, and the humidification efficiency is reduced.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that a plurality of first air outlets 108 arranged at intervals are provided on the cover plate 104, and high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of first air outlets 108 respectively. Since the plurality of first air outlets 108 are arranged at intervals in a direction away from the first fan 103, the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 108 is small, so that the high-humidity air cannot be concentratedly flowed out from the first air outlets 108 close to the first fan 103, and more high-humidity air will flow in a direction away from the first fan 103, thereby taking away more moisture stored in the humidification material, and allowing more airflow to be blown out from the micropores 114 to take away the moisture on the fabric layer 113, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the cover plate 104 includes a fabric layer 113, and the fabric layer 113 is woven from a plurality of woven strips. The fabric layer 113 is woven from a high-strength material that can be woven, so that it can be manufactured using a weaving process, and can also maintain a relatively stable structure and is not easily deformed. Specifically, the material of the fabric layer 113 includes at least one of polyester fiber, aramid fiber, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, basalt fiber, polyphenylene sulfide fiber, polyimide fiber, polytetrafluoroethylene fiber, carbon fiber, glass fiber, nylon or polyacrylonitrile fiber, that is, the fabric layer 113 can be woven from a single material or from a plurality of materials. For example, one of the woven strips is a polyester fiber material, and the other woven strip is a carbon fiber material.

[0041] It is understandable that the fabric layer 113 has a certain water absorption capacity, and the water absorption capacity mainly depends on the type of fibers used in the fabric, the structure of the fabric, and the post-treatment process. The fiber material used in the fabric is a key factor in determining water absorption. Natural fibers such as cotton, wool, linen, and silk generally have good water absorption because they contain a large number of hydrophilic groups in their molecular structure, which can absorb water. Certain post-treatment processes, such as the addition of water absorbents, can significantly improve the water absorption capacity of the fabric. For example, a specially treated polyester-nylon composite silk fabric can improve its wicking effect, thereby enhancing water absorption performance. The surface properties of the fabric, such as roughness and porosity, also affect its water absorption. The rougher the surface and the better the porosity of the fabric, the better the water absorption. In some structures, under the action of water tension, water can also be temporarily stored in the micropores 114. The fabric layer 113 serves as the first water storage member 115, and the second water storage member 102 is integrally formed with the shell 101 and becomes a part of the shell 101.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification channel 302 has only one channel, and the fabric layer 113 and the second water storage member 102 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the humidification channel 302. When the airflow passes through the humidification channel 302, it can simultaneously take away the moisture in the fabric layer 113 and the second water storage member 102, thereby increasing the humidity of the airflow and improving the humidification efficiency. In addition, in this embodiment, there is no need to significantly increase the height of the humidification component 100, which reduces the occupied space of the humidification component 100.

[0043] It can be understood that the first air outlet 108 is an opening on the fabric layer 113, which can increase the coverage area of ​​the fabric layer 113 and further increase the overall coverage area of ​​the micropores 114, which is equivalent to increasing evaporation by using the micropores 114 on a large surface area. One advantage of the large-area micropores 114 is that they can provide continuous and uniform humidification, resulting in good uniformity in humidity distribution.

[0044] It is understandable that the fabric layer 113 is provided with a plurality of micropores 114, which are gaps between a plurality of woven strips, and the micropores 114 penetrate the cover plate 104 to connect the humidification channel 302. The air outlet area of ​​the micropores 114 is much smaller than the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 108. For example, the air outlet area of ​​the micropores 114 ranges from 0.5 square microns to 100 square microns, and the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 108 can reach more than 20 square millimeters. A small portion of the gas can flow to the outside of the humidification component 100 through the micropores 114, and most of the gas flows out of the first air outlet 108 to the outside of the humidification component 100, which not only makes the humidification direction of the humidification component 100 controllable, but also increases the humidification air outlet area and improves the humidification efficiency.

[0045] It is understandable that when the first fan 103 is powered on and relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 to accelerate, the dry air quickly passes through the lower bottom surface of the fabric layer 113 and the water surface of the second water storage member 102, and the high-humidity air is quickly taken away from the first air outlet 108 to the target space, mixed with the air in the target space, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the room. A small amount of air passes through the micropores 114, and at the same time takes away the moisture adsorbed on the fabric, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 includes a closed area C and an air outlet area D, an air inlet 112 is provided on the cover plate 104, the first fan 103 sucks air through the air inlet 112, the fabric layer 113 is provided in the air outlet area D, and the closed area C is located between the first fan 103 and the air outlet area D. The closed area C is not provided with an air outlet, so that the air outlet area D is far away from the air inlet 112, reducing the probability that the humid air is sucked back to the first fan 103 and cannot be fully mixed with the air in the target space.

[0047] Along the direction away from the first fan 103 , the air outlet area D is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances at the position where the first air outlet 108 is provided, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108 . Along the direction away from the first fan 103, multiple air outlet units are defined as air outlet unit b1, air outlet unit b2, air outlet unit b3, air outlet unit b4, air outlet unit b5, air outlet unit b6, and air outlet unit b7 in sequence. The air outlet volume of air outlet unit b2 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b1, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b3 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b2, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b4 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b3, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b5 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b4, the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b6 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b5, and the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b7 is greater than the air outlet volume of air outlet unit b6, so that the air outlet volume of the air outlet area D increases along the direction away from the first fan 103, allowing more airflow to pass through the end of the liquid surface away from the first fan 103, increasing the contact area and contact time between the liquid surface and the airflow, so that the humidity of the airflow blown out by the humidification component 100 is higher.

[0048] Reference Figure 5As shown, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are different, and the farther away from the first fan 103, the larger the air outlet area of ​​the corresponding first air outlet 108. Specifically, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b1, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b2, the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b4 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b3, and the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b5 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit b6. The air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b4, the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b5, and the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b7 is larger than the air outlet area of ​​any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6, thereby ensuring that the humid air on the entire liquid surface is more fully taken away.

[0049] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are the same, and the distance between two adjacent first air outlets 108 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first fan 103, so that in the direction away from the first fan 103, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1, and the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2. For example, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, and the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3. And in the direction away from the first fan 103, the distances between two adjacent first air outlets 108 are L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5, respectively, satisfying: L1>L2>L3>L4>L5. As a result, the airflow blown out from the first fan 103 is less blown out from the air outlet unit b1, and more blown out from the air outlet unit b3. The airflow blown out from the air outlet unit b3 basically contacts the surface of the liquid surface in the length direction, so that most of the blown airflow has a high humidity. The airflow blown out from the air outlet unit b1 and the air outlet unit b2 can increase the overall air volume and humidity of the humidification component 100.

[0050] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, along the direction away from the first fan 103, the air outlet area D is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108. The first air outlet 108 of each air outlet unit is arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, and all the first air outlets 108 may be the same or different. Along the direction away from the first fan 103, the number of first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit gradually increases. For example, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, and the two first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3, and the three first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units. This embodiment is similar to Figure 5 Compared with the embodiment shown in the figure, the same thing is that the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit is increased in the direction away from the first fan 103, and the difference is Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units. In this embodiment, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units. This embodiment can also achieve that the air volume at the end away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air volume at the end close to the first fan 103, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0051] It should be noted that, in order to achieve that the air volume at the end away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air volume at the end close to the first fan 103, the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 108 can be increased in the direction away from the first fan 103, or the number of first air outlets 108 can be increased in the direction away from the first fan 103. In addition to increasing the length of the first air outlet 108 along the direction perpendicular to the arrangement of the air outlet units, the width of the first air outlet 108 can also be increased along the arrangement direction of the air outlet units. In addition to increasing the number of first air outlets 108 along a straight line, the number of first air outlets 108 can also be increased along a curve or other lines. The above illustrated embodiments are only for easy understanding and are not specifically limited here.

[0052] It should be noted that Figure 5 The solution of the cover plate 104 shown can also be applied to Figure 1 In the embodiment of .

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 includes a connecting air duct 109, which is used to guide the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 to the outer surface of the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102. The connecting air duct 109 is provided with a first pipe opening 110 and a second pipe opening 301, the first pipe opening 110 is connected to the outlet of the first fan 103, and the second pipe opening 301 is toward the humidification channel 302, and the first fan 103 and the connecting air duct 109 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 101. The outlet size of the first fan 103 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 105 in the height direction of the shell 101, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 105 in the width direction of the shell 101, so that the outlet of the first fan 103 is concentrated on one side in the width direction, and a large air volume is maintained in the height direction. Since a partition bar 107 is correspondingly provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the second water storage component 102 has a certain height, in the height direction of the shell 101, the height of the first pipe opening 110 is greater than the height of the second pipe opening 301, and the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the humidification channel 302. In the width direction of the shell 101, the width of the second pipe opening 301 is greater than the width of the first pipe opening 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the airflow and the humidification materials of the first water storage component 115 and the second water storage component 102, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0054] Reference Figures 7 to 9 As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration equipment of the second embodiment of the present invention can be specifically a refrigerator, a wine cabinet and other products. The refrigeration equipment includes a cabinet 401, a refrigeration component and a humidification component 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the cabinet 401 is provided with a storage room and an air supply duct 501 for conveying airflow to the storage room, the refrigeration component is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage room, and the refrigeration component includes an evaporator 601 and a compressor, which is configured to generate a cooling airflow in a controlled manner and promote the cooling airflow to be sent to the storage room through the air supply duct 501. In other words, the refrigeration component is used to cool the storage room. The humidification component 100 is arranged in the cabinet 401, configured to generate a high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner, and convey the high-humidity airflow to the air supply duct 501, so that the high-humidity airflow flows into the storage room with the cooling airflow. It can be understood that the moisture in the high-humidity airflow is large, which can increase the humidity in the storage room.

[0055] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, it can be understood that the air supply duct 501 includes a second air outlet 502 and a return air outlet 602 connected to the storage compartment, the second air outlet 502 is located at the top of the storage compartment, and the return air outlet 602 is located at the bottom of the storage compartment. The refrigeration device includes a second fan for promoting air circulation between the storage compartment and the air supply duct 501, and the first air outlet 108 is arranged near the return air outlet 602. For example, the return air outlet 602 is located at the rear side of the storage compartment, and the humidification component 100 is also located at the rear side of the storage compartment, and the wind flowing out from the first air outlet 108 can more easily enter the return air outlet 602. When the second fan and the humidification component 100 are both in working state, the high humidity airflow generated by the humidification component 100 is sent to the air supply duct 501 through the return air outlet 602, and enters the storage compartment through the second air outlet 502. After secondary acceleration by the second fan, the high-humidity airflow comes out from the second air outlet 502 and mixes more fully with the air in the storage room, thereby further improving the humidification efficiency.

[0056] It is understandable that the first fan 103 has a relatively small power and a relatively weak driving capability, and it is difficult to effectively deliver the high-humidity airflow generated by it to the upper area of ​​the storage compartment. The second fan is used to deliver cooling airflow to the storage compartment, and has a relatively large power and a relatively strong driving capability. Therefore, the second fan can be cleverly used to deliver air to cause the high-humidity airflow generated by the humidification assembly 100 to flow at a high speed, thereby effectively delivering it to the entire space of the storage compartment.

[0057] It should be noted that when the humidifying component 100 is in working state, mainly in the stage of stopping cooling, even if the evaporator 601 is located in the air supply duct 501, the evaporator 601 is in a non-working state, and the second fan is kept turned on to accelerate the high-humidity air blown out by the humidifying component 100 and interact with the indoor air of the storage room, thereby reducing the probability of frost of the high-humidity airflow due to low temperature.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 is provided with a water receiving groove 111, which is located below the evaporator 601 and is used to collect and guide water flow. Specifically, the water receiving groove 111 collects the collected condensed water / defrosting water into a water flow and guides it to the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102.

[0059] exist Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 111 is provided with a diverting rib 201 to divert a portion of the water flow to the first water storage member 115 and another portion of the water flow to the second water storage member 102. The water receiving groove 111 is also provided with a first water inlet 202 and a second water inlet 203, which are located on both sides of the diverting rib 201. The defrost water can flow back to the first water storage member 115 from the first water inlet 202 and back to the second water storage member 102 from the second water inlet 203 through the diversion of the diverting rib 201. When the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the generated defrost water falls to the water receiving groove 111 under the action of gravity, and the defrost water returns to the first water storage member 115 and the second water storage member 102 along the water receiving groove 111 for reuse, which can effectively reduce the frequency of users adding water.

[0060] It is understandable that the first water inlet 202 and the second water inlet 203 may be connected to the first air outlet 108 , or the first water inlet 202 and the second water inlet 203 may be part of the first air outlet 108 .

[0061] exist Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, when the water in the water receiving groove 111 flows to the connection portion between the water receiving groove 111 and the woven layer, the water will fall from the micropores 114 or the first air outlet 108, thereby replenishing water for the water storage element.

[0062] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
