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. The long strip water storage tank design lengthens the length of the water storage tank, making 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. However, since the humidification component has only one air outlet, that is, the air outlet is continuous and uninterrupted, and the size and position of the air outlet correspond to the size and position of the water storage tank, most of the wind blown by the humidification fan tends to flow out from the end of the air outlet close to the humidification fan, resulting in only a small part of the wind blown by the humidification fan reaching the other end of the water storage tank, the water in the water storage tank evaporates unevenly, and the water utilization rate is low, thereby reducing the humidification efficiency.

[0029] In the related art, the humidification component is provided with multiple air outlets, and the multiple air outlets are arranged at intervals. Although the airflow can be more dispersed when blown out, the direction of the airflow is difficult to control after it flows out from the air outlet. The airflow may converge in some parts, while only less airflow reaches other parts, which is not conducive to improving the uniformity of humidity distribution.

[0030] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 8 It is described how the humidifying assembly 100 and the refrigeration device according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above problems.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 of an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 101, a water storage member 102, a first fan 103 and an air distribution duct 113. 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, while 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, and the water storage member 102 is arranged in the second mounting groove 106. The water storage member 102 is a water box, and liquid is stored in the water box. The top of the water box is open, so that the liquid in the water box contacts the airflow blown out by the first fan 103. The water box is integrally formed with the housing 101 and becomes a part of the housing 101. The water box can also be separately arranged in the second mounting groove 106, that is, the water box can be an independent component. The air distribution duct 113 is connected to the first fan 103, and the air distribution duct 113 is provided with a plurality of first air outlets 201, and the plurality of first air outlets 201 are arranged at intervals in the direction away from the first fan 103, and all the first air outlets 201 face the water storage part 102, that is, the conveying airflow generated by the first fan 103 is divided into a plurality of branch airflows through all the third air outlets 108 and then passes through the water storage part 102. 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 is quickly blown out from the plurality of first air outlets 201 and passes through the surface of the liquid, and the air with high humidity on the surface of the liquid is quickly taken away to the target space to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the target space.

[0032] It is understandable that by replacing a single air outlet with multiple air outlets arranged at intervals, the airflow concentrated at one air outlet is dispersed to multiple air outlets, thereby making the airflow distribution more uniform along the length direction of the housing 101. Especially for the long strip structure, the airflow flow path is longer. In order to allow the airflow to flow more to the end away from the fan, it is necessary to reduce the air outlet area close to the fan end, thereby reducing the air volume of the airflow close to the fan end, so that the end away from the fan can have sufficient air volume, thereby improving the uniformity of the air outlet.

[0033] It should be noted that the 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 is quickly blown out from the multiple first air outlets 201 and passes through the surface of the humidifying material. 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 102 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 water storage member 102 can also be a humidifier, such as an ultrasonic humidifier, a steam-type (thermal evaporation) humidifier, 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. A steam humidifier heats 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.

[0034] It is understandable that, in some other embodiments, the first fan 103 may also be disposed outside the housing 101, and the housing 101 is correspondingly provided with a first air inlet hole connected to the first fan 103. Alternatively, the air distribution duct 113 is disposed outside the housing 101, and the housing 101 is correspondingly provided with a second air inlet hole connected to the air distribution duct 113.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that a partition 114 is also provided in the shell 101, and the partition 114 is arranged between two adjacent first air outlets 201, so as to limit the airflows of the two first air outlets 201 from forming high-humidity air and then converging with each other, that is, the partition 114 divides the second installation groove 106 into multiple independent humidification spaces 115 to prevent the local air volume and humidity from being too high, while the air volume and humidity in other parts are too low.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 5As shown, it can be understood that there are multiple partitions 114, and the multiple partitions 114 are arranged at equal intervals. The multiple partitions 114 are arranged along the length direction of the air distribution duct 113, that is, arranged in the direction away from the first fan 103. One or more first air outlets 201 are arranged between every two partitions 114, so that an independent humidification unit is formed between every two partitions 114. The space of the humidification unit is a humidification space 115 separated by the partition 114. Liquid is stored in the humidification space 115. The humidification unit includes a partial structure of the air distribution duct 113 and a partial structure of the water storage member 102. Therefore, the role of the partition 114 is to prevent the various humidification units from being easily affected or interfered with, forming multiple independent humidification paths, thereby ensuring the humidification uniformity of the humidification component 100 at various positions.

[0037] It should be noted that the liquids between the humidifying units can also be connected, that is, a connecting hole can be provided on the partition 114, so that the liquid levels between the humidifying units are kept at the same height. When the air distribution duct 113 is placed horizontally, the air outlet centers of all the first air outlets 201 are basically on the same horizontal line, and the liquid levels between the humidifying units are kept at the same height, which can make the humidification capacity of each humidifying unit close, that is, the humidity of the airflow blown out from each position of the humidifying component 100 is basically equal, so that the humidity distribution of the target space is more uniform.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the partition 114 is provided with a notch 301 for accommodating the air distribution duct 113, which can play the role of avoiding the air distribution duct 113, making the overall structure of the humidification component 100 more compact and occupying less space. It can also play the role of fixing the air distribution duct 113, so that the air distribution duct 113 is fixed in the notch 301, not easy to shake, and ensure the stability of the air outlet. It can also limit the airflow on the upper side of the air distribution duct 113, and extend the distance between the humidification units that is not easy to affect or interfere.

[0039] In order to ensure that the humidity of each humidification unit is roughly equal, the total air output of each humidification unit must be roughly equal. It is understandable that the wind pressure in the air distribution duct 113 is uneven, and the closer the wind pressure is to the first fan 103, the greater the wind pressure is, and the farther away from the first fan 103, the smaller the wind pressure is. The wind pressure is proportional to the square of the wind speed, which can be specifically expressed by the Bernoulli equation, that is, the closer the first air outlet 201 is to the first fan 103, the greater the wind pressure and the greater the wind speed. The air output is equal to the wind speed multiplied by the ventilation area of ​​the air outlet, so the air output can be adjusted by controlling the air outlet area. Specifically, it can be achieved by increasing the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 or increasing the number of first air outlets 201 in the direction away from the first fan 103. For example, when the number of first air outlets 201 contained in all humidification units is equal, the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 of the humidification unit close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 of the humidification unit far from the first fan 103. When the air outlet areas of the single first air outlet 201 contained in all humidification units are equal, the number of first air outlets 201 of the humidification unit close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the number of first air outlets 201 of the humidification unit far from the first fan 103.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that, among any two first air outlets 201, the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 away from the first fan 103 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 close to the first fan 103. That is, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 201 are different, and the trend of change is increasing in the direction away from the first fan 103. Specifically, the air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 at one end of the air distribution duct 113 close to the first fan 103 is the smallest, but its wind speed is the largest. The air outlet area of ​​the first air outlet 201 at one end of the air distribution duct 113 away from the first fan 103 is the largest, but the wind speed is the smallest. In this way, the difference in air volume of each first air outlet 201 is small, so that the airflow blown out by the fan can maintain a relatively uniform contact with the entire humidification material, making the air outlet humidity distribution of the humidification component 100 more uniform.

[0041] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the distance between two adjacent first air outlets 201 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first fan 103, so that the purpose of making the air volume of each length unit of the air distribution duct 113 uniform can be achieved by gradually increasing the number of first air outlets 201 in the direction away from the first fan 103. In addition to increasing the air outlet area of ​​a single first air outlet 201, Figure 2The width of the first air outlet 201 is increased along the length direction perpendicular to the air distribution duct 113 as shown, and the length of the first air outlet 201 can also be increased along the length direction of the air distribution duct 113. In addition to increasing the number of first air outlets 201 along the length direction of the air distribution duct 113, the number of first air outlets 201 can also be increased along the width of the first air outlet 201. The above illustrated embodiments are only for easy understanding and are not specifically limited here. Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 includes a connecting duct 109. In this embodiment, the connecting duct 109 is used to guide the air flow blown out by the first fan 103 to the air distribution duct 113. The connecting duct 109 is provided with a first pipe opening 110 and a second pipe opening 501, the first pipe opening 110 is connected to the outlet of the first fan 103, and the second pipe opening 501 is connected to the air distribution duct 113. The first fan 103, the connecting duct 109 and the air distribution duct 113 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 101, and the air distribution duct 113 is arranged on one side of the width direction of the shell 101 and is located above the water storage member 102. 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 maintains a large air volume 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 water storage member 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 501, and the airflow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the air distribution duct 113. In the width direction of the shell 101, the width of the second pipe opening 501 is smaller than the width of the first pipe opening 110, thereby reducing the occupied space of the air distribution duct 113 and increasing the surface area of ​​the liquid, that is, the airflow blown out from the air distribution duct 113 can contact a larger area of ​​liquid, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the cross-sectional area of ​​the connecting air duct 109 gradually decreases along the flow direction of the airflow, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first pipe opening 110 is the largest, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second pipe opening 501 is the smallest, so that the first fan 103 can have a larger air output transmitted to the connecting air duct 109, and the connecting air duct 109 then guides the airflow to the branch air duct 113. During the gas flow process, when the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel gradually decreases, according to the continuity equation of the fluid, the flow velocity will increase accordingly, and the internal air pressure will also increase accordingly, thereby allowing the airflow to more easily reach the end of the branch air duct 113 away from the first fan 103.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 can also include a cover plate 104, which is connected to the housing 101 and is located above the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106. The cover plate 104 is provided with a plurality of third air outlets 108 arranged at intervals, and the position of each third air outlet 108 is arranged corresponding to the position of a humidification unit, and high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of third air outlets 108 respectively. An air inlet 112 is provided on the cover plate 104, and the first fan 103 inhales air through the air inlet 112. The first fan 103 is powered on and works, and relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 from the air inlet 112 to accelerate, and the dry air quickly passes through the surface of the liquid, and the air with high humidity on the surface of the liquid is quickly taken away from the third 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.

[0044] Reference Figures 6 to 8 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 601, a refrigeration component and a humidification component 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention. The cabinet 601 is provided with a storage room and an air supply duct 701 for conveying airflow to the storage room. The refrigeration component is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage room. The refrigeration component includes an evaporator 801 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 701. In other words, the refrigeration component is used to cool the storage room. The humidification component 100 is arranged in the cabinet 601, configured to generate a high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner, and convey the high-humidity airflow to the air supply duct 701, 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.

[0045] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that the air supply duct 701 includes a second air outlet 702 and a return air outlet 802 connected to the storage compartment, the second air outlet 702 is located at the top of the storage compartment, and the return air outlet 802 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 701, and the third air outlet 108 is arranged near the return air outlet 802. 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 701 through the return air outlet 802, and enters the storage compartment through the second air outlet 702. After the secondary acceleration of the second fan, the high humidity airflow comes out of the second air outlet 702 and mixes more fully with the air in the storage compartment, thereby further improving the efficiency of humidification.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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 801 is located in the air supply duct 701, the evaporator 801 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.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 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 801. The water receiving groove 111 is located below the evaporator 801 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 water storage member 102. The cover plate 104 is provided with a water inlet 401, which is located on the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 111, and the water inlet 401 is located above the water storage member 102. The water flow of the water receiving groove 111 falls from the water inlet 401 into the water storage member 102 to replenish water for the water storage member 102.

[0049] In some other embodiments, part of the third air outlet 108 may also extend to the water receiving groove 111. When the water in the water receiving groove 111 flows to the third air outlet 108 located in the water receiving groove 111, the water will fall from the third air outlet 108, thereby replenishing water for the water storage member 102. For example, when the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the generated defrosting water falls to the water receiving groove 111 under the action of gravity, and the defrosting water returns to the water storage member 102 along the water receiving groove 111 for reuse, which can effectively reduce the frequency of users adding water.

[0050] It is understandable that by providing the water receiving tank 111 below the evaporator 801, the condensed water generated by the evaporator 801 is effectively collected and guided, and then the water resources are used for evaporation, thereby achieving the purpose of humidifying the air. This design not only improves the utilization rate of water resources, but also reduces the frequency of users adding water.

[0051] It should be noted that when the humidifying assembly 100 is not provided with the cover plate 104 , the second mounting groove 106 can also be used to receive the condensed water / defrosting water of the evaporator 801 , so as to replenish water for the water storage component 102 .

[0052] It can be understood that when a connecting hole is set on the partition 114, as long as the water flow from the water receiving tank 111 flows into one of the humidification units, water can also be replenished in other humidification units, so that the liquid levels between each humidification unit are maintained at the same height, and there is no need to set multiple water inlets 401 on the cover plate 104.

[0053] 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.
