[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.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., and orientations or positional relationships indicated are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, "several" means one or more, "more" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed" etc. are understood as not including the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood as including the number itself. 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] Reference Figure 1As shown, it can be understood that the humidification assembly 100 of the related art includes a housing 101, and the housing 101 is provided with an air outlet 102 and a drain outlet 103. Figure 2 As shown, the housing 101 is provided with an installation cavity 201 inside, and a water storage part 202 is provided inside the installation cavity 201, and the water storage part 202 is used to store water. For example, the water storage part 202 is a water box, and liquid is stored in the water box. The top of the water box is open, and the evaporation of water increases the humidity of the target space. The air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103 both penetrate the top wall of the housing 101, and then communicate with the installation cavity 201, that is, the air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103 are both through holes 308, connecting the installation cavity 201 and the external space of the housing 101. The high-humidity air formed by the evaporation of water flows out from the air outlet 102, and the user can replenish the liquid for the water box through the drain outlet 103. Since the air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103 are both open structures that are normally open, the air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103 cannot be closed. When humidification is not needed, even if the humidifying component 100 is not turned on, the air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103 are both in an open state, the natural evaporation process of water is still in progress, and high-humidity air flows out from the air outlet 102 and the drain outlet 103, increasing the humidity of the target space and causing excessive humidity.

[0027] It should be noted that the water storage component 202 may also include a humidifying material, which may be volcanic rock, non-woven fabric or the like, 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 normally dripping water droplets, so that water droplets cannot flow through the porous dense structure water-absorbing material, while allowing air flow to pass through.

[0028] Refer to the following Figures 3 to 12 It is described how the humidifying assembly 100 and the refrigeration device according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above problems.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that an embodiment of the present invention provides a humidification component 100, and the humidification component 100 includes a base 303 and a cover plate 302, that is, the shell 101 is composed of the base 303 and the cover plate 302. The water storage member 202 is located on the base 303, and the cover plate 302 is connected to the base 303, and the cover plate 302 is located above the water storage member 202. There is a gap 1103 between the cover plate 302 and the liquid level of the humidification material or water box to form a humidification channel. A plurality of air outlets 102 arranged at intervals are provided on the cover plate 302, and high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of air outlets 102 respectively.

[0030] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the shell 101 can also be formed by a combination of a base plate and a cover, that is, the water storage component 202 and the fan 203 are installed on the base plate, and the cover is arranged on the outer periphery and the top surface of the water storage component 202, and then connected and fixed to the base plate, and the bottom surface of the water storage component 202 is covered by the base plate, thereby completing the installation and protection of the water storage component 202.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention also includes a humidity regulating device arranged at the air outlet 102, and the humidity regulating device includes a driving member 304 and a sealing cover 601. The driving member 304 drives the sealing cover 601 to move relative to the shell 101 to adjust the opening degree of the air outlet 102.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the plurality of air outlets 102 are arranged in a straight line direction, the sealing cover 601 is provided with a plurality of through holes 308, the arrangement direction of the plurality of through holes 308 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlets 102, and the positions of the plurality of through holes 308 correspond to the positions of the plurality of air outlets 102. The housing 101 is provided with a guide portion 306, the guide portion 306 is located on one side of the housing 101, the guide portion 306 supports the bottom of the sealing cover 601 and limits the side of the sealing cover 601. The humidity regulating device also includes a transmission gear 305, the sealing cover 601 is provided with a tooth portion 307, the tooth portion 307 is extended in a straight line direction, the transmission gear 305 and the tooth portion 307 are meshed with each other, the driving member 304 drives the transmission gear 305 to rotate, the transmission gear 305 drives the sealing cover 601 to move through the tooth portion 307, and under the guidance and limiting action of the guide portion 306, the sealing cover 601 moves along the arrangement direction of the air outlets 102.

[0033] It can be understood that the sealing cover 601 forms a grid-like structure, which can conveniently control the gas outlet states of multiple gas outlets 102 at the same time. When the through hole 308 can completely cover the gas outlet 102, that is, the edge of the gas outlet 102 can be completely accommodated in the shape defined by the edge of the through hole 308, during the movement of the sealing cover 601, the through hole 308 has three positional relationships relative to the gas outlet 102. The first positional relationship is that the through hole 308 is opposite to the gas outlet 102, and the through hole 308 and the gas outlet 102 are completely overlapped, that is, the center of the through hole 308 coincides with the center of the gas outlet 102, and the edge of the gas outlet 102 can be completely accommodated in the shape defined by the edge of the through hole 308. The second positional relationship is that the through hole 308 partially overlaps with the gas outlet 102, that is, the center of the through hole 308 is misaligned with the center of the gas outlet 102, and the edge of the gas outlet 102 and the edge of the through hole 308 intersect. The third positional relationship is that the through hole 308 is completely misaligned with the air outlet 102 , that is, the center of the through hole 308 is misaligned with the center of the air outlet 102 , and the edge of the air outlet 102 does not intersect with the edge of the through hole 308 .

[0034] It is understandable that when the through hole 308 is connected to the air outlet 102, high humidity air can flow out to the target space through the air outlet 102; conversely, when the through hole 308 is not connected to the air outlet 102, high humidity air cannot flow out to the target space. Since the driving member 304 can drive the sealing cover 601 to move along the arrangement direction of the air outlet 102, the degree of overlap between the through hole 308 and the air outlet 102 can be controlled by controlling the position of the sealing cover 601. The higher the degree of overlap between the through hole 308 and the air outlet 102, the higher the moisture flow rate flowing out to the target space per unit time. In other words, by controlling the movement position of the sealing cover 601, different humidification effects or different humidification efficiencies can be achieved.

[0035] Reference Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 is in a first state. In the first state, each through hole 308 is connected to a corresponding air outlet 102, and the sealing cover 601 does not block the air outlet 102, so that high-humidity air can flow out from the air outlet 102 to the maximum extent. At this time, the humidification efficiency of the humidification component 100 is the highest. In the first state, the humidification component 100 can quickly increase the humidity value of the target space. In dry seasons, such as winter, the humidity in the air is often low. If there is no effective humidity control system, or its humidity control system is not sufficient to cope with such seasonal changes, the humidity in the target space may also decrease. In this case, it is necessary to quickly increase the humidity. Taking a wine cabinet as an example, when a new wine cabinet is used for the first time or is reactivated after a long period of non-use, the internal humidity may be low and needs to be quickly adjusted to the ideal humidity range suitable for wine storage. When the environmental conditions in the wine cabinet change, such as the temperature rises and the relative humidity decreases, or the wine cabinet door is frequently opened to allow external dry air to enter, the internal humidity may decrease. At this time, it may be necessary to increase the humidity to maintain a stable environment.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 is in the second state, one side of the air outlet 102 is blocked by the sealing cover 601, and the other side is not blocked by the sealing cover 601. In the second state, the sealing cover 601 blocks part of the air outlet 102, thereby reducing the air outlet area. At this time, the humidification efficiency of the humidification component 100 is low. When the humidity inside the wine cabinet is close to the set target value, in order to prevent the humidity from continuing to rise beyond the ideal range, part of the air outlet 102 can be opened to reduce the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 102, thereby reducing the amount of moisture output by the humidification component 100 and maintaining the stability of the humidity. For some items that are very sensitive to humidity, such as some special types of wine or collectibles, excessive humidity may have an adverse effect on their quality. In this case, it is necessary to control the humidity more finely and avoid excessive humidity by reducing the size of the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 102. If the air circulation inside the wine cabinet is not smooth, moisture may accumulate in certain areas, resulting in excessive humidity in some areas. By reducing the size of the outlet area of ​​the air outlet 102, the speed of moisture delivery can be reduced, making the air circulation more uniform and avoiding local over-humidity. When the humidity in the wine cabinet is close to the target setting value, if the wine cabinet is reopened and the humidification component 100 is directly turned on with maximum efficiency, the humidity may rise rapidly, which may easily lead to excessive humidity in some local areas and affect the quality of the wine. At this time, first open some of the air outlets 102, reduce the size of the outlet area of ​​the air outlet 102, and gradually increase the humidity, which will help to smoothly transition to the target humidity, allowing the internal environment of the wine cabinet to gradually return to a normal temperature and humidity balance state, and avoid the impact of a sudden increase in humidity on the wine.

[0037] It is understandable that the humidifying component 100 can also be in a third state. In the third state, the sealing cover 601 completely blocks the air outlet 102. When the humidity value of the target space has reached or exceeded the set target value, the humidity regulating device is controlled so that the position of the sealing cover 601 can completely block the air outlet 102, thereby preventing moisture formed by natural evaporation of water from entering the target space and continuing to increase the humidity of the target space.

[0038] Reference Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that the embodiment of the invention provides another sealing cover 601, which is arranged at the air outlet 102 to realize the conversion of the open and closed states of the air outlet 102. The sealing cover 601 is plate-shaped as a whole. When the plane of the sealing cover 601 is perpendicular to the axis of the air outlet 102, the plane of the sealing cover 601 can cover the air outlet 102, so that the moisture inside the installation cavity 201 cannot flow out from the air outlet 102. And the appearance material and color of the sealing cover 601 can be set to be close to the appearance material and color of the shell 101, or coordinated, to improve the aesthetic appearance. The side of the sealing cover 601 is also connected to a rotating shaft 602, and the rotating shaft 602 is used to be rotatably connected to the shell 101. When the driving member 304 drives the rotating shaft 602 to rotate, the sealing cover 601 can be driven to rotate together, so that the local distance between the sealing cover 601 and the shell 101 increases, thereby exposing the air outlet 102, so that high-humidity air can be discharged from the air outlet 102.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 As shown, it can be understood that the sealing cover 601 in the figure is in an open state, that is, the sealing cover 601 opens the air outlet 102, and the plane of the sealing cover 601 is not parallel to the end face of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located, that is, the sealing cover 601 and the end face of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located have an angle greater than zero, and moisture can pass through the opening formed between the sealing cover 601 and the air outlet 102 to achieve communication between the inside and outside of the shell 101.

[0040] Reference Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that the sealing cover 601 in the figure is in a closed state, that is, the sealing cover 601 closes the air outlet 102, and the plane of the sealing cover 601 is parallel to the end face of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located, that is, the angle between the sealing cover 601 and the end face of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located is zero or close to zero, and moisture cannot pass through the opening formed between the sealing cover 601 and the air outlet 102.

[0041] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it can be understood that the housing 101 is provided with a first limiting portion 701, and when the sealing cover 601 is in a closed state, the sealing cover 601 abuts against the first limiting portion 701. The sealing cover 601 is limited by the first limiting portion 701, so that the sealing cover 601 is kept in a substantially horizontal position, thereby better covering the air outlet 102. The first limiting portion 701 is located below the sealing cover 601, and under the action of the driving member 304, the sealing cover 601 begins to separate from the first limiting portion 701, thereby reaching an open state.

[0042] Reference Figures 6 to 8 As shown, it can be understood that the sealing cover 601 includes a second limiting portion 603, which is protruding toward the direction close to the first limiting portion 701. When the sealing cover 601 is in a closed state, the second limiting portion 603 is pressed on the top of the first limiting portion 701. The sealing cover 601 and the housing 101 form a step-shaped matching structure, that is, a mutually staggered connection structure, to achieve a better sealing effect and make the structure more compact.

[0043] It is understandable that when Figure 6 When there are multiple sealing covers 601, each sealing cover 601 may be individually configured with a driving member 304 for independent driving, or a transmission member may be provided, and the transmission member is connected to the same side rotation shaft 602 of each sealing cover 601, for example, the transmission member is a synchronous belt or a connecting rod mechanism. When the driving member 304 drives the transmission member to move, the transmission member simultaneously drives the multiple sealing covers 601 to flip, thereby opening or closing the air outlet 102.

[0044] It should be noted that the humidity regulating device is used to regulate the flow rate of humidity flowing out of the installation cavity 201 to the external space of the shell 101. The humidity regulating device includes a driving member 304 and a sealing cover 601. The driving member 304 drives the sealing cover 601 to move relative to the shell 101 to adjust the opening degree of the air outlet 102. In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, it can also be implemented through other embodiments. For example, the center of the sealing cover 601 is rotatably connected to the shell 101, and the driving member 304 drives the sealing cover 601 to rotate around the center of the sealing cover 601. During the rotation of the sealing cover 601, the through hole 308 on the sealing cover 601 is sometimes connected to the air outlet 102, and sometimes disconnected, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the opening degree of the air outlet 102.

[0045] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 also includes a fan 203, which is arranged in the housing 101, the fan 203 is located at one end of the housing 101, and the water storage part 202 is located at the other end of the housing 101. The fan 203 blows air toward the water storage part 202, and the high-humidity air in the water storage part 202 is brought to the refrigeration device through the fan 203. That is, the fan 203 is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is directed toward the water storage part 202. When the fan 203 is powered on, relatively dry air is sucked into the fan 203 and accelerated to the top of the bottom water storage part 202. The dry air quickly passes through the liquid surface in the water storage part 202, and the air with high humidity on the liquid surface is quickly taken away to the storage room 1302 to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the storage room 1302. The long strip-shaped water storage part 202 design lengthens the length of the water storage part 202, making the water surface area larger, which helps to increase the evaporation rate of water. During the humidification process, more water molecules are exposed to the air, which speeds up evaporation.

[0046] In the related art, the humidification component 100 increases the humidity of the target space by a passive method of natural evaporation of water. The passive humidification method cannot accurately control the humidity of the target space and will cause large fluctuations in the humidity in the target space. In this embodiment, the fan 203 cooperates with the humidity regulating device to accurately control the humidity of the target space by an active humidification method, effectively reducing the humidity fluctuation in the target space.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 100 includes a connecting air duct 309, and the connecting air duct 309 is used to guide the airflow blown out by the fan 203 to the outer surface of the water storage member 202. The connecting air duct 309 is provided with a first pipe opening and a second pipe opening, the first pipe opening is connected to the outlet of the fan 203, and the second pipe opening is toward the gap between the cover plate 302 and the water storage member 202, and the fan 203, the connecting air duct 309 and the water storage member 202 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 101.

[0048] In the related art, the humidifying component 100 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 box. Most of the wind blown out by the fan 203 tends to flow out from one end of the air outlet close to the fan 203, resulting in only a small part of the wind blown out by the fan 203 reaching the other end of the water box. The water in the water box evaporates unevenly, and the water utilization rate is low, thereby reducing the humidification efficiency.

[0049] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the multiple air outlets 102 are arranged at intervals in the direction away from the fan 203. The air outlet area of ​​a single air outlet 102 is small, so that high-humidity air cannot be concentrated and flowed out from several air outlets 102 close to the fan 203, and more high-humidity air will flow in the direction away from the fan 203, so as to take away more moisture stored in the humidification material, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0050] It is understandable that the humidification assembly 100 includes a detection device and a control device, for example, the detection device is a humidity sensor. The control device is respectively connected to the drive member 304 and the detection device in communication. For example, the control device and the drive member 304 can be connected in a wired or wireless manner, and the control device and the detection device can be connected in a wired or wireless manner. Among them, the wired communication connection can be a wire connection, and the wireless communication can be a Bluetooth connection, a local area network connection, and an Internet connection. The connection control device is used to control the drive member 304 to start or stop according to the humidity value detected by the detection device. When the detected humidity value is much less than the set value, the control drive member 304 is turned on, so that the opening degree of the air outlet 102 is maximized, and the humidification efficiency is improved. When the detected humidity value is less than the set value and is close to the set value, the control drive member 304 is turned on, so that the opening degree of the air outlet 102 is small, which can both reach the set humidity value and avoid excessive local humidity. When the detected humidity value is equal to or greater than the set value, the driving member 304 is controlled to be closed to prevent the humidity formed by the natural evaporation of water from continuing to flow into the target space.

[0051] It is understandable that the control device can also control the driver 304 to start or stop according to the humidity set by the user. For example, when the driver 304 is a stepper motor, the control device controls the stepper motor to rotate different steps according to different humidity setting values ​​to adjust the air outlet area of ​​different air outlets 102. When the user sets high humidity, the sealing cover 601 moves to one side so that the air outlet 102 is fully open; when the user sets medium humidity, the sealing cover 601 opens part of the air outlet 102 by limiting the number of steps of the stepper motor, so that the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 102 becomes smaller, thereby reducing the humidification efficiency of the humidity.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the top surface of the housing 101 is provided with a water receiving groove 301, and the water receiving groove 301 is a structure for collecting and guiding water flow. Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the water receiving tank 301 is provided with a drain port 103, and the drain port 103 is located at the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 301. The drain port 103 penetrates the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 301 and is connected to the installation cavity 201, so that the liquid can enter the water storage part 202 through the drain port 103 to achieve the operation of replenishing the liquid. For example, after the humidification component 100 has been used for a period of time, the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202 is reduced, and the user can pour the liquid on the water receiving tank 301, and the liquid on the water receiving tank 301 flows toward the drain port 103, and then enters the water storage part 202, increasing the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202. Since the area of ​​the water receiving tank 301 is much larger than the area of ​​the drain port 103, it can accommodate a large amount of liquid in a short time, and then let the liquid slowly flow into the drain port 103. That is, the user can first pour the liquid to be replenished into the water receiving tank 301, reducing the operation time of the user to replenish the liquid.

[0053] Reference Fig.10 As shown, it can be understood that a deformable member 1002 is provided at the drain port 103, and the deformable member 1002 is used to realize the conversion of the open and closed states of the drain port 103 by changing its shape. By providing the deformable member 1002, the drain port 103 can be opened when the humidifying component 100 needs to be supplemented with liquid, so that the supplemented liquid can flow into the water storage member 202 through the drain port 103. After the humidifying component 100 has finished supplementing the liquid, the deformable member 1002 can also close the drain port 103, thereby preventing the high-humidity air generated by the natural evaporation of water from flowing out of the drain port 103, increasing the humidity of the target space, and causing excessive humidity.

[0054] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, it can be understood that the deformable member 1002 includes a first adjusting portion 1101 and a second adjusting portion 1102, the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 are adjacent to each other, and a gap 1103 is formed between the edge of the first adjusting portion 1101 facing the second adjusting portion 1102 and the edge of the second adjusting portion 1102 facing the first adjusting portion 1101. That is, the adjacent parts of the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 are separated and not integrated. The first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 can both have the ability to deform, or only the first adjusting portion 1101 has the ability to deform, or only the second adjusting portion 1102 has the ability to deform.

[0055] It is understandable that the deformable member 1002 can be made of a silicone material. The silicone material can have a certain elasticity and can produce elastic deformation under the action of an external force, and can quickly return to its original state after the external force disappears. Within the elastic deformation range, there is usually a linear relationship between the external force and the deformation, that is, when the external force increases, the deformation will also increase; when the external force decreases, the deformation will also decrease. Of course, the deformable member 1002 can also be made of other materials that can produce elastic deformation.

[0056] Reference Fig.11 As shown, it can be understood that in the first state, that is, in the initial state, the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102 are close to each other, so that the edge of the first adjustment portion 1101 and the edge of the second adjustment portion 1102 are fitted to reduce the gap 1103, and the gap 1103 is close to zero at this time, so that the drain port 103 can be covered. External debris is not easy to enter the drain port 103, and the appearance material and color of the sealing cover 601 can be set to be close to the appearance material and color of the housing 101, or coordinated to improve the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0057] Reference Fig.12 As shown, it can be understood that in the second state, when an external force acts on the deformable member 1002, the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 that have the ability to deform will be deformed, so that the edge of the first adjusting portion 1101 and the edge of the second adjusting portion 1102 are no longer completely fitted, that is, the edge of the first adjusting portion 1101 and the edge of the second adjusting portion 1102 are separated at least in a local area, thereby increasing the gap 1103 between the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102. Fluids such as gas and liquid can enter or leave the drain port 103 through the gap between the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102, thereby achieving communication between the inside and outside of the shell 101.

[0058] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, it can be understood that the deformable member 1002 further includes a connecting portion 1104, which is annular, and the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 are located in the annular space of the connecting portion 1104. The side of the first adjusting portion 1101 away from the second adjusting portion 1102 is connected to the connecting portion 1104, and the side of the second adjusting portion 1102 away from the first adjusting portion 1101 is connected to the connecting portion 1104. The connecting portion 1104 is used to connect the housing 101, and the connecting portion 1104 is located at the periphery of the drain port 103, so that the deformable member 1002 is fixed on the housing 101, and the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 are located in the axial direction of the drain port 103, so that the drain port 103 can be covered.

[0059] It should be noted that in Fig.11 and Fig.12 In the illustrated embodiment, the sizes of the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102 are substantially equal, and the gap 1103 between the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102 is located in the middle of the drain outlet 103. In some other embodiments, the size of the first adjustment portion 1101 may be larger than the size of the second adjustment portion 1102, so that the gap 1103 between the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102 is close to the side where the second adjustment portion 1102 is located. In addition, in some other embodiments, the number of gaps 1103 is not limited to one, for example, the number of first adjustment portions 1101 is two, two first adjustment portions 1101 and one second adjustment portion 1102 are connected to the connecting portion 1104, and the two first adjustment portions 1101 and one second adjustment portion 1102 respectively form two gaps 1103.

[0060] It is understandable that when more liquid flows into the drain port 103, the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 are deformed under the gravity of the liquid, thereby increasing the gap 1103 between the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 to open the drain port 103, and the liquid can enter the installation cavity 201 through the drain port 103, and then replenish the water for the water storage member 202. When the liquid in the water receiving tank 301 is reduced to a certain extent, the first adjusting portion 1101 and the second adjusting portion 1102 can overcome the gravity of the remaining water droplets and achieve automatic reset, thereby closing the drain port 103, blocking other small debris from entering, and also improving the aesthetics.

[0061] Reference Fig.10 As shown, it can be understood that a boss 1001 is provided at the lower side of the drain port 103, and the deformable member 1002 is sleeved on the boss 1001. Specifically, the connecting portion 1104 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 1001, and is fixed on the boss 1001 by its own tensioning force, and the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102 are located below the boss 1001. After the boss 1001 is provided, the depth of the drain port 103 is increased, so that more liquid can be stored in the drain port 103, which helps to increase the weight of the liquid used to open the gap 1103 between the first adjustment portion 1101 and the second adjustment portion 1102, so that it is easier to open the drain port 103 when replenishing liquid, thereby improving the efficiency of replenishing liquid.

[0062] It should be noted that the deformable member 1002 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can utilize the force of the fluid to open the drain outlet 103, and can automatically close the drain outlet 103 after the force of the fluid weakens, thereby reducing the use of the driving mechanism, reducing costs, reducing occupied space, and reducing failure rates.

[0063] Reference Fig.13As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration device of the embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 1301, a refrigeration component and a humidification component 100, the cabinet 1301 is provided with a storage room 1302 and an air supply duct for conveying airflow to the storage room 1302, the refrigeration component is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage room 1302, and the refrigeration component is configured to generate a cooling airflow in a controlled manner and to cause the cooling airflow to be conveyed to the storage room 1302 through the air supply duct. In other words, the refrigeration component is used to refrigerate the storage room 1302. The humidification component 100 is arranged in the cabinet 1301, configured to generate a high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner, and convey the high-humidity airflow to the storage room 1302. It can be understood that the moisture in the high-humidity airflow is relatively large, which can increase the humidity in the storage room 1302. Due to the use of the humidification component 100 of the above embodiment, the opening degree of the air outlet 102 can be controlled according to the humidity requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of humidity control.

[0064] It can be understood that the refrigeration equipment in the embodiment of the present invention may specifically be a refrigerator, a wine cabinet or the like.

[0065] 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.
