[0045] In the description of the present application, the meaning of one or more is one or more, the meaning of multiple is more than two, greater than, less than, more than, etc. are understood as not including the number, above, below, within, etc. are understood as including the number. If the first, second is described, it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the sequence of indicated technical features.

[0046] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be broadly understood, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical scheme.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 It can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 of the related art includes a housing 101, and the housing 101 is provided with an air outlet 102 and a water outlet 103. Referring to Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the inside of the housing 101 is provided with a mounting cavity 201, and the mounting cavity 201 is provided with a water storage member 202 for storing water. For example, the water storage member 202 is a water box, and the water box stores liquid. 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 water outlet 103 both penetrate the top wall of the housing 101, and then communicate with the mounting cavity 201, that is, the air outlet 102 and the water outlet 103 are both through holes 308, which communicate the mounting cavity 201 and the outside space of the housing 101. The high-humidity air formed by the evaporation of water flows out of the air outlet 102, and the user can supplement the liquid in the water box through the water outlet 103. Since the air outlet 102 and the water outlet 103 are both open structures, the air outlet 102 and the water outlet 103 cannot be closed. When humidification is not needed, even if the humidifying assembly 100 is not turned on, the process of natural evaporation of water is still ongoing, and the high-humidity air flows out of the air outlet 102 and the water outlet 103, increasing the humidity of the target space, resulting in excessive humidity.

[0048] It should be noted that the water storage member 202 can also include a humidifying material, which can be volcanic rock, non-woven fabric, etc. That is, the humidifying material can be a porous and dense structure water-absorbing material, and the diameter and volume of the pores on the porous and dense structure water-absorbing material are smaller than those of a normally dripping water droplet, so that the water droplet cannot flow through the porous and dense structure water-absorbing material, while the airflow can pass through.

[0049] The following will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 12 to illustrate how the humidifying assembly 100 and the refrigeration equipment of the embodiments of the present application solve the above problems.

[0050] Referring to Figure 3As shown in the figure, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a base 303 and a cover plate 302, that is, the shell 101 is formed by 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 located above the water storage member 202. There is a gap 1103 between the cover plate 302 and the liquid surface of the humidifying material or the water box, so as to form a humidifying channel. A plurality of air outlets 102 are arranged on the cover plate 302 in a spaced manner, and the high-humidity air flows out of the plurality of air outlets 102 respectively.

[0051] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the shell 101 can also be formed by a combination of a bottom plate and a cover, that is, the water storage member 202 and the fan 203 are installed on the bottom plate, the cover is arranged on the outer periphery and the top surface of the water storage member 202, and then is connected and fixed with the bottom plate to seal the bottom surface of the water storage member 202, thereby completing the installation and protection of the water storage member 202.

[0052] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application further comprises a humidity adjusting device arranged at the air outlet 102, and the humidity adjusting device comprises 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, so as to adjust the opening degree of the air outlet 102.

[0053] Referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, 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 one by one. The shell 101 is provided with a guide portion 306, the guide portion 306 is located on one side of the shell 101, the guide portion 306 supports the bottom of the sealing cover 601 and limits the side surface of the sealing cover 601. The humidity adjusting device further comprises a transmission gear 305, the sealing cover 601 is provided with a tooth portion 307, the tooth portion 307 is arranged in a straight line direction, the transmission gear 305 is engaged with the tooth portion 307, 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 outlet 102.

[0054] It can be understood that the sealing cover 601 forms a grid-shaped structure, which can facilitate the simultaneous control of the air outlet state of multiple air outlets 102. When the through hole 308 can completely cover the air outlet 102, that is, the edge of the air outlet 102 can be completely accommodated in the shape defined by the edge of the through hole 308, the through hole 308 has three positional relationships with the air outlet 102 during the movement of the sealing cover 601. The first positional relationship is that the through hole 308 is opposite to the air outlet 102, the through hole 308 is completely coincident with the air outlet 102, that is, the center of the through hole 308 is coincident with the center of the air outlet 102, and the edge of the air 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 is partially coincident 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 intersects with the edge of the through hole 308. 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.

[0055] It can be understood that when the through hole 308 is in communication with the air outlet 102, the high-humidity air can flow out of the air outlet 102 to the target space; on the contrary, when the through hole 308 is not in communication with the air outlet 102, the 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 outlets 102, the position of the sealing cover 601 can be controlled, and then the coincidence degree of the through hole 308 and the air outlet 102 can be controlled. The higher the coincidence degree of the through hole 308 and the air outlet 102, the higher the humidity 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.

[0056] Referring to Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 is in the first state, in which each through hole 308 is in communication with one air outlet 102, and the sealing cover 601 does not shield the air outlet 102, so that the high-humidity air can flow out of the air outlet 102 to the maximum extent, and at this time, the humidifying efficiency of the humidifying assembly 100 is the highest. In the first state, the humidifying assembly 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 the humidity control system is not sufficient to cope with such seasonal changes, the humidity in the target space may also decrease. In this case, the humidity needs to be quickly increased. For example, a wine cabinet, when it is used for the first time or 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 causing the relative humidity to decrease, or the wine cabinet door is frequently opened allowing dry external air to enter, the internal humidity may decrease, and at this time, the humidity may need to be increased to maintain a stable environment.

[0057] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 is in the second state, in which one side of the air outlet 102 is shielded by the sealing cover 601, and the other side is not shielded by the sealing cover 601. In the second state, the sealing cover 601 shields part of the air outlet 102, thereby reducing the air outlet area, and at this time, the humidifying efficiency of the humidifying assembly 100 is lower. When the humidity inside the wine cabinet approaches the set target value, in order to prevent the humidity from continuing to rise above 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 humidifying assembly 100 and maintaining the stability of the humidity. For some items that are very sensitive to humidity, such as certain special types of wine or collectibles, excessive humidity can have an adverse effect on their quality. In this case, the humidity needs to be controlled more finely, and the size of the air outlet area of the air outlet 102 is reduced to avoid excessive humidity. If the air circulation inside the wine cabinet is not smooth, moisture may accumulate in certain areas, causing local humidity to be too high. By reducing the size of the air outlet area of the air outlet 102, the delivery speed of the moisture can be reduced, the air circulation can be made more uniform, and local over-humidification can be avoided. When the humidity inside the wine cabinet has approached the target set value, the wine cabinet is re-opened, and if the humidifying assembly 100 is directly opened at the maximum efficiency, it may cause the humidity to rise rapidly, which can easily cause the humidity in some local positions to be too high, affecting the quality of the wine. At this time, part of the air outlet 102 is opened to reduce the size of the air outlet area, and the humidity is gradually increased, which helps to smoothly transition to the target humidity, gradually restores the internal environment of the wine cabinet to a normal temperature and humidity balance state, and can avoid the impact of sudden humidity increase on the wine.

[0058] It can be understood that the humidifying assembly 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 sealing cover 601 is controlled to completely block the air outlet 102 to avoid the humidity formed by the natural evaporation of water from entering the target space to continue to increase the humidity of the target space.

[0059] Referring to Figure 6 It can be understood that the sealing cover 601 provided by the embodiment of the application is provided at the air outlet 102 to realize the conversion of the opening and closing states of the air outlet 102. The sealing cover 601 is in the form of a plate as a whole, and 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 humidity inside the mounting cavity 201 cannot flow out from the air outlet 102. In addition, the appearance material and color of the sealing cover 601 can be set to be close to or coordinated with the appearance material and color of the shell 101 to improve the aesthetic appearance. The side surface of the sealing cover 601 is further connected with a rotating shaft 602, and the rotating shaft 602 is used to be rotatably connected with 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 is increased, and the air outlet 102 is exposed, so that the high-humidity air can be discharged from the air outlet 102.

[0060] Referring to Figure 7 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 surface of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located, that is, the sealing cover 601 and the end surface of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located have an included angle greater than zero, and the humidity can pass through the opening formed between the sealing cover 601 and the air outlet 102 to realize the communication between the inside and outside of the shell 101.

[0061] Referring to Figure 8 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 surface of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located, that is, the included angle between the sealing cover 601 and the end surface of the shell 101 where the air outlet 102 is located is zero or close to zero, and the humidity cannot pass through the opening formed between the sealing cover 601 and the air outlet 102.

[0062] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it can be understood that the shell 101 is provided with a first limiting portion 701, and the sealing cover 601 abuts against the first limiting portion 701 when the sealing cover 601 is in the closed state. 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 starts to move away from the first limiting portion 701, thereby reaching the open state.

[0063] With reference to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, it can be understood that the sealing cover 601 includes a second limiting portion 603, which is protrudingly arranged towards the direction close to the first limiting portion 701, and the second limiting portion 603 is pressed above the first limiting portion 701 when the sealing cover 601 is in the closed state. The sealing cover 601 and the shell 101 form a stepped matching structure, that is, a staggered connection structure, to achieve a better sealing effect and make the structure more compact.

[0064] It can be understood that when Figure 6 When the number of the sealing cover 601 is multiple, one driving member 304 can be configured for each sealing cover 601 to drive individually, or one transmission member can be provided, which is connected with each sealing cover 601 on the same side of the rotating shaft 602, 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 multiple sealing covers 601 to overturn, thereby realizing opening or closing the air outlet 102.

[0065] It should be noted that the humidity adjusting device is used to adjust the flow of humidity flowing out of the mounting cavity 201 to the outside space of the shell 101, and the humidity adjusting device includes the driving member 304 and the sealing cover 601, and 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, other embodiments can also be realized. For example, the center of the sealing cover 601 is rotationally connected with the shell 101, and the driving member 304 drives the sealing cover 601 to rotate around the center of the sealing cover 601. In the rotating process of the sealing cover 601, the through hole 308 on the sealing cover 601 is connected with the air outlet 102 at times and disconnected at times, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the opening degree of the air outlet 102.

[0066] With reference to Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 further comprises a fan 203, the fan 203 is arranged in the housing 101, the fan 203 is located at one end of the housing 101, the water storage member 202 is located at the other end of the housing 101, the fan 203 blows air towards the water storage member 202, and the high-humidity air in the water storage member 202 is brought into the refrigeration equipment by the fan 203. That is, the fan 203 is provided with an air outlet, the air outlet faces the water storage member 202. The fan 203 is powered on and works, the relatively dry air is sucked into the fan 203 and accelerated, and then reaches above the water storage member 202, the dry air quickly passes through the liquid surface in the water storage member 202, and the air with high humidity of the liquid surface is quickly taken away to mix with the air in the storage compartment 1302, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the storage compartment 1302. The long strip-shaped water storage member 202 is designed to lengthen the length of the water storage member 202, so that the water surface area is larger, which helps to improve the evaporation rate of water. During the humidification process, more water molecules can be exposed to the air, thereby accelerating evaporation.

[0067] In the related art, the humidifying assembly 100 uses a passive method of natural water evaporation to increase the humidity of the target space. The passive humidification method cannot accurately control the humidity of the target space, and can cause large fluctuations in the humidity of the target space. In the present embodiment, the fan 203 cooperates with the humidity adjusting device to accurately control the humidity of the target space by using an active humidification method, and effectively reduces the humidity fluctuations in the target space.

[0068] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 comprises a connecting air pipe 309, the connecting air pipe 309 is used to guide the airflow blown by the fan 203 to the outer surface of the water storage member 202. The connecting air pipe 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 faces the gap between the cover plate 302 and the water storage member 202. The fan 203, the connecting air pipe 309 and the water storage member 202 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 101.

[0069] In the related art, the air outlet of the humidifying assembly 100 has only one, that is, the air outlet is continuous and uninterrupted, the size and position of the air outlet correspond to the size and position of the water box, most of the air blown by the fan 203 is easily discharged from the end of the air outlet close to the fan 203, resulting in only a small part of the air blown by the fan 203 reaching the other end of the water box. The water evaporation in the water box is uneven, the water utilization rate is low, and the humidification efficiency is reduced.

[0070] Referring to Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the plurality of air outlets 102 are spaced apart in a direction away from the fan 203. The air outlet area of a single air outlet 102 is small, so that the high-humidity air cannot be concentrated to flow out from several air outlets 102 close to the fan 203, and more high-humidity air will flow in a direction away from the fan 203, so as to carry away more moisture stored by the humidifying material, thereby improving the humidifying efficiency.

[0071] It can be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 comprises a detection device and a control device, for example, the detection device is a humidity sensor. The control device is in communication connection with the driving member 304 and the detection device, for example, the control device and the driving member 304 can be in communication connection in a wired or wireless manner, and the control device and the detection device can be in communication connection in a wired or wireless manner. The wired communication connection can be a wire connection, and the wireless communication connection can be a Bluetooth connection, a local area network connection, an Internet connection, etc. The control device is connected for controlling the driving member 304 to start or stop according to the humidity value detected by the detection device. When the detected humidity value is much smaller than the set value, the driving member 304 is controlled to start, so that the opening degree of the air outlet 102 is maximum, and the humidifying efficiency is improved. When the detected humidity value is smaller than the set value and has approached the set value, the driving member 304 is controlled to start, so that the opening degree of the air outlet 102 is smaller, which can not only reach the set humidity value, but also avoid local over-high humidity. When the detected humidity value is equal to or greater than the set value, the driving member 304 is controlled to stop, so as to avoid the humidity formed by the natural evaporation of water from continuing to flow into the target space.

[0072] It can be understood that the control device can also control the driving member 304 to start or stop according to the humidity set by the user, for example, when the driving member 304 is a stepping motor, the control device controls the stepping motor to rotate different steps according to different humidity set values, so as 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 to a position, so that the air outlet 102 is in a completely open state. When the user sets medium humidity, the sealing cover 601 is limited by the number of steps of the stepping motor, and part of the air outlet 102 is opened, so that the air outlet area of the air outlet 102 is reduced, and the humidifying efficiency of the humidity is reduced.

[0073] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the top surface of the shell 101 is provided with a water collecting groove 301, which is a structure for collecting and guiding water flow. Referring to Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the water receiving groove 301 is provided with a drain port 103, the drain port 103 is located at the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301, the drain port 103 penetrates through the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301 and communicates with the installation cavity 201, so that the liquid can enter the water storage part 202 through the drain port 103, and the operation of supplementing the liquid is realized. For example, after the humidifying assembly 100 is used for a period of time, the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202 is reduced, and the user can pour liquid on the water receiving groove 301, the liquid on the water receiving groove 301 flows towards the drain port 103, and then enters the water storage part 202, thereby increasing the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202. Because the area of the water receiving groove 301 is much larger than the area of the drain port 103, a large amount of liquid can be contained in a short time, and then the liquid slowly flows into the drain port 103. That is, the user can first pour the liquid to be supplemented in the water receiving groove 301, thereby reducing the operation time of the user to supplement the liquid.

[0074] Referring to Figure 10 As shown, it can be understood that the water receiving groove 301 is provided with a drain port 103, the drain port 103 is located at the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301, the drain port 103 penetrates through the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301 and communicates with the installation cavity 201, so that the liquid can enter the water storage part 202 through the drain port 103, and the operation of supplementing the liquid is realized. For example, after the humidifying assembly 100 is used for a period of time, the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202 is reduced, and the user can pour liquid on the water receiving groove 301, the liquid on the water receiving groove 301 flows towards the drain port 103, and then enters the water storage part 202, thereby increasing the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202. Because the area of the water receiving groove 301 is much larger than the area of the drain port 103, a large amount of liquid can be contained in a short time, and then the liquid slowly flows into the drain port 103. That is, the user can first pour the liquid to be supplemented in the water receiving groove 301, thereby reducing the operation time of the user to supplement the liquid.

[0075] Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it can be understood that the water receiving groove 301 is provided with a drain port 103, the drain port 103 is located at the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301, the drain port 103 penetrates through the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 301 and communicates with the installation cavity 201, so that the liquid can enter the water storage part 202 through the drain port 103, and the operation of supplementing the liquid is realized. For example, after the humidifying assembly 100 is used for a period of time, the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202 is reduced, and the user can pour liquid on the water receiving groove 301, the liquid on the water receiving groove 301 flows towards the drain port 103, and then enters the water storage part 202, thereby increasing the liquid content stored in the water storage part 202. Because the area of the water receiving groove 301 is much larger than the area of the drain port 103, a large amount of liquid can be contained in a short time, and then the liquid slowly flows into the drain port 103. That is, the user can first pour the liquid to be supplemented in the water receiving groove 301, thereby reducing the operation time of the user to supplement the liquid.

[0076] It can be understood that the deformation member 1002 can be made of a silica gel material. The silica gel material can have a certain elasticity and can produce elastic deformation under the action of an external force. After the external force disappears, it can quickly recover to the original state. 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 deformation member 1002 can also be made of other materials that can produce elastic deformation.

[0077] Referring to Figure 11 It can be understood that in the first state, that is, in the initial state, the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 are close to each other, so that the edges of the first adjusting part 1101 and the edges of the second adjusting part 1102 are attached to reduce the gap 1103. The gap 1103 is close to zero, so that the drain port 103 can be covered. Foreign matter outside 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 or coordinated with the appearance material and color of the shell 101, improving the appearance of the appearance.

[0078] Referring to Figure 12 It can be understood that in the second state, when an external force acts on the deformation member 1002, the one with deformation ability in the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 will produce deformation, so that the edges of the first adjusting part 1101 and the edges of the second adjusting part 1102 are no longer completely attached, that is, the edges of the first adjusting part 1101 and the edges of the second adjusting part 1102 are at least partially separated, thereby increasing the gap 1103 between the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102. Gases and liquids and other fluids can enter or exit the drain port 103 through the gap between the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102, realizing the communication between the inside and outside of the shell 101.

[0079] Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 12 It can be understood that the deformation member 1002 further comprises a connecting part 1104, the connecting part 1104 is annular, the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 are located in the annular space of the connecting part 1104, the side of the first adjusting part 1101 away from the second adjusting part 1102 is connected to the connecting part 1104, and the side of the second adjusting part 1102 away from the first adjusting part 1101 is connected to the connecting part 1104. The connecting part 1104 is used to connect the shell 101, and the connecting part 1104 is located at the periphery of the drain port 103, so that the deformation member 1002 is fixed on the shell 101, and the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 are located in the axial direction of the drain port 103, so as to cover the drain port 103.

[0080] It should be noted that inFigure 11 and Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 are substantially equal in size, and the gap 1103 between the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 is located in the middle of the drain outlet 103. In other embodiments, the size of the first adjusting part 1101 may be larger than the size of the second adjusting part 1102, such that the gap 1103 between the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 is closer to the side where the second adjusting part 1102 is located. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the number of gaps 1103 is not limited to one. For example, there may be two first adjusting parts 1101, with both first adjusting parts 1101 and one second adjusting part 1102 connected to the connecting part 1104, and each of the two first adjusting parts 1101 forming one gap 1103 with one second adjusting part 1102.

[0081] Understandably, when a large amount of liquid flows into the drain outlet 103, the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 deform under the influence of gravity, thereby increasing the gap 1103 between them. This opens the drain outlet 103, allowing liquid to enter the mounting cavity 201 and replenish the water storage component 202. When the liquid in the water tank 301 decreases to a certain level, the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 overcome the gravity of the remaining water droplets and automatically reset, closing the drain outlet 103, preventing other small debris from entering, and improving aesthetics.

[0082] Reference Figure 10 As shown, it can be understood that a boss 1001 is provided on the lower side of the drain outlet 103, and the deformable member 1002 is sleeved on the boss 1001. Specifically, the connecting part 1104 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the boss 1001 and is fixed to the boss 1001 by its own tension. The first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102 are located below the boss 1001. After setting the boss 1001, the depth of the drain outlet 103 is increased, so that more liquid can be stored in the drain outlet 103. This helps to increase the weight of the liquid used to open the gap 1103 between the first adjusting part 1101 and the second adjusting part 1102, making it easier to open the drain outlet 103 when replenishing liquid and improving the efficiency of liquid replenishment.

[0083] It should be noted that the deformable component 1002 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can open the drain outlet 103 by the force of the fluid, and can automatically close the drain outlet 103 after the force of the fluid weakens, thereby reducing the use of the drive mechanism, reducing costs, reducing space occupation, and reducing the failure rate.

That is, the refrigeration assembly is used for refrigerating the storage compartment 1302. The humidifying assembly 100 is arranged in the cabinet 1301 and is configured to generate high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner and to convey the high-humidity airflow to the storage compartment 1302. It can be understood that the humidity in the high-humidity airflow is large, which can increase the humidity in the storage compartment 1302. Due to the use of the above-mentioned humidifying assembly 100, the opening degree of the air outlet 102 can be controlled according to the humidity requirement, so that the precision of the humidity control can be improved.
