[0020] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration device includes a cabinet 101, a refrigeration component and a humidification component 103. The cabinet 101 is provided with a storage compartment 102 and an air supply duct 501 for conveying airflow to the storage compartment 102. The refrigeration component is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage compartment 102. The refrigeration component is configured to generate a cooling airflow in a controlled manner and cause the cooling airflow to be conveyed to the storage compartment 102 through the air supply duct 501. In other words, the refrigeration component is used to refrigerate the storage compartment 102. The humidification component 103 is disposed in the cabinet 101, configured to generate a high-humidity airflow in a controlled manner, and convey the high-humidity airflow to the storage compartment 102. It can be understood that the moisture in the high-humidity airflow is relatively large, which can increase the humidity in the storage compartment 102.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 103 includes a water storage part 201, and the water storage part 201 is used to store water. For example, the water storage part 201 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 in the refrigeration equipment. The humidification component 103 also includes a fan 202, and the fan 202 sends air toward the water storage part 201, that is, the fan 202 is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is facing the water storage part 201. The fan 202 is powered on and works, and relatively dry air is sucked into the fan 202 and accelerated to the top of the bottom water storage part 201. The dry air quickly passes through the liquid surface in the water storage part 201, and the air with high humidity on the liquid surface is quickly taken away to the storage compartment 102 to mix with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the storage compartment 102.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the humidification component 103 also includes a shell 203, and the shell 203 includes a base 204. A first mounting groove 205 and a second mounting groove 206 are arranged in the base 204. A partition bar is arranged between the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206. The partition bar is located at the bottom of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206, so that the bottom of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206 cannot be connected, but the top of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206 can be connected. The fan 202 is arranged in the first mounting groove 205, and the water storage member 201 is arranged in the second mounting groove 206. When the water storage member 201 includes a water box, the water box is integrally formed with the shell 203 and becomes a part of the shell 203. The water box can also be arranged separately in the second mounting groove 206, that is, the water box can be an independent component.

[0031] It should be noted that the water storage member 201 may also include a humidifying material, which may be a material such as volcanic rock or non-woven fabric, 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, and at the same time, the air flow can pass through. After the fan 202 is started, the air flow blown out by the fan 202 enters the second mounting groove 206 from above the partition bar, and the dry air passes through the surface of the humidifying material, contacts the humidifying material, and takes away the moisture stored in the humidifying material, thereby forming high-humidity air. The high-humidity air reaches the storage compartment 102 and mixes with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity of the storage compartment 102. After the humid air above the humidifying material is taken away, it can quickly absorb the moisture at the bottom of the humidifying material and evaporate to the top thereof (the water vapor density is small), so that the air above the humidifying material remains in a high-humidity state.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the shell 203 also includes a cover plate 207, which is connected to the base 204 and is located above the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206. There is a gap between the cover plate 207 and the liquid level of the humidification material or the water box to form a humidification channel, which is used to guide the flow direction of the high-humidity gas.

[0033] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the shell 203 can also be formed by a combination of a base plate and a cover, that is, the water storage component 201 and the fan 202 are installed on the base plate, and the cover is arranged on the periphery and the top surface of the water storage component 201 and the fan 202, and then connected and fixed to the base plate, and the bottom surface of the water storage component 201 and the fan 202 is covered by the base plate, thereby completing the installation and protection of the water storage component 201 and the fan 202.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 includes a shelf 104, which is arranged in a horizontal direction. The shelf 104 divides the space in the cabinet 101 to form different storage spaces, which is more convenient for classified storage. The humidification component 103 is installed on the shelf 104. The humidification component 103 requires regular maintenance and cleaning to maintain its normal operation and extend its service life. The shelf 104 is located in the middle to facilitate regular inspection and maintenance of the humidification component 103.

[0035] In the related art, a plurality of vents are arranged at intervals on the cover plate 207, and high humidity air flows out from the plurality of vents respectively. It is understandable that the vents are arranged on the cover plate 207, and the humidification component 103 is arranged as a whole on the layer plate 104, which may face some problems, such as the risk of the vents being blocked. For example, wine bottles and other items may be placed on the layer plate 104, and when the humidification component 103 is placed near the wine bottles and other items, or when some items may fall from the shelf 106 above the layer plate 104 onto the layer plate 104, when the vents are blocked by the fallen items, these items may block the normal diffusion of moisture, resulting in uneven humidification or reduced efficiency. When the vents of the humidification component 103 are blocked, the moisture released by it cannot be evenly distributed in the internal space of the storage compartment 102, resulting in insufficient humidity in some areas, while other areas may be too wet. This not only affects the overall humidity balance in the refrigeration equipment, but may also cause some items to be damaged due to inappropriate humidity. In order to reach the preset humidity level, the humidification component 103 may continue to work, trying to overcome the resistance caused by the blocked air outlet, which will lead to energy waste and premature wear of the equipment. If the humidification component 103 is operated for a long time with the air outlet blocked, it may accelerate aging due to overheating, overload and other problems, shortening its service life. In addition, if the air outlet is blocked, it may also cause other maintenance problems for the humidification component 103.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the side wall of the storage compartment 102 is provided with an air outlet 209, and the cabinet 101 is provided with a first channel, one end of the first channel is connected to the humidification component 103, and the other end is connected to the air outlet 209. After the fan 202 is turned on, the airflow passes through the top of the water storage member 201 to form a high-humidity airflow, and the high-humidity airflow enters the first channel along the humidification channel, and flows into the storage compartment 102 from the air outlet 209 through the first channel, thereby increasing the humidity in the storage compartment 102. Since the air outlet 209 is set on the side wall of the storage compartment 102, the air outlet 209 is located at a higher position, and they are less likely to be blocked by wine bottles or other obstacles, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the humidification component 103 and reducing the risk of the air outlet 209 being blocked.

[0037] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the air outlet 209 may also be disposed on the top of the storage compartment 102 , and the air outlet 209 is disposed from top to bottom.

[0038] Reference Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that three layers of air outlet holes 209 are arranged on the side wall of the storage compartment 102, and the three layers of air outlet holes 209 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cabinet 101, and the length of each layer of air outlet holes 209 is basically the same. The side wall of the storage compartment 102 includes an air outlet area B, and the air outlet area B is divided into multiple air outlet layers along the height direction of the cabinet 101. Specifically, along the direction from top to bottom, the three layers of air outlet holes 209 are defined as the first air outlet layer b1, the second air outlet layer b2 and the third air outlet layer b3 in sequence, and the total area of ​​all air outlet holes 209 in the first air outlet layer b1 is greater than the total area of ​​all air outlet holes 209 in the second air outlet layer b2, and the total area of ​​all air outlet holes 209 in the second air outlet layer b2 is greater than the total area of ​​all air outlet holes 209 in the third air outlet layer b3, so that the air outlet volume of the air outlet area B increases from bottom to top.

[0039] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the side wall of the storage compartment 102 may be provided with one layer of air outlet holes 209 , two layers of air outlet holes 209 , or more than four layers of air outlet holes 209 , and one layer of air outlet holes 209 may also be located on the top wall of the storage compartment 102 .

[0040] In the related art, the air outlet distribution of the humidification component 103 is usually uniformly arranged in the up and down direction. However, air with high humidity is usually denser than dry air, because after water vapor molecules enter the air, the mass of the same volume of air increases. In the vertical direction, the temperature usually decreases with decreasing height, forming a temperature gradient. The density of high humidity air increases during the cooling process, thereby sinking. In addition, during the humidification process, most of the wind blown out by the fan 202 tends to flow out from the air outlet close to the fan 202, resulting in only a small part of the wind blown out by the fan 202 flowing out from the air outlet far away from the fan 202, and the humidity of the gas flowing out of each air outlet is uneven. That is, the air outlet of the lower layer is close to the fan 202, and the air flow rate of the blown air is higher, and the air outlet of the upper layer is far away from the fan 202, and the air flow rate of the blown air is lower. If the air outlet distribution of the humidification component 103 is uniformly arranged in the up and down direction, due to the influence of the sinking of high humidity air and the limitation of its own structure, the humidity in the lower area will be higher, while the humidity in the upper area will be lower.

[0041] In this embodiment, the air outlet volume of the air outlet area B is designed to increase from bottom to top, so that more air flows out through the upper air outlet 209, reducing the influence of the sinking of high-humidity air and the limitations of its own structure, thereby achieving a dynamic humidification balance in each area and improving humidity uniformity.

[0042] Reference Figure 2As shown, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the air outlet holes 209 are different, and the higher the height of the layer where the air outlet hole 209 is located, the larger the air outlet area of ​​the corresponding air outlet hole 209. Specifically, the air outlet area of ​​any air outlet hole 209 in the first air outlet layer b1 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​any air outlet hole 209 in the second air outlet layer b2, and the air outlet area of ​​any air outlet hole 209 in the second air outlet layer b2 is greater than the air outlet area of ​​any air outlet hole 209 in the third air outlet layer b3. By increasing the air outlet area of ​​a single air outlet hole 209 layer by layer, the air outlet volume of the air outlet area B is increased in a bottom-up direction, thereby ensuring the humidity uniformity of different height areas.

[0043] In the related art, there is only one air outlet on each layer of the humidification component 103, that is, the air outlet is continuous and uninterrupted, and most of the air blown out by the fan 202 tends to flow out from one end of the air outlet close to the fan 202, resulting in only a small part of the air blown out by the fan 202 reaching the other end, and the air outlet on the same layer is uneven, thereby reducing the humidification efficiency. Figure 2 As shown, the number of air outlet holes 209 on each layer of the embodiment of the present invention is multiple. Since the multiple air outlet holes 209 are arranged at intervals in the direction away from the fan 202, the air outlet area of ​​a single air outlet hole 209 is small, so that high-humidity air cannot be concentrated and flowed out from several air outlet holes 209 close to the fan 202. More high-humidity air will flow in the direction away from the fan 202, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that, in some embodiments, the density of each layer of air outlet holes 209 increases from bottom to top. Specifically, along the arrangement direction of the air outlet holes 209 in the same layer, the spacing between two adjacent air outlet holes 209 of the first air outlet layer b1 is L1, the spacing between two adjacent air outlet holes 209 of the second air outlet layer b2 is L2, and the spacing between two adjacent air outlet holes 209 of the third air outlet layer b3 is L3, satisfying: L1<L2<L3. In other words, when the length of each layer of air outlet holes 209 is substantially equal, the number of air outlet holes 209 in each layer of air outlet holes 209 gradually increases from bottom to top, so that the airflow blown out from the fan 202 is less in the air outlet unit b3, and more in the air outlet unit b2, and more is blown out from the air outlet unit b1, so that the air volume of the air outlet area B increases from bottom to top, ensuring the humidity uniformity of different height areas.

[0045] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the density of the air outlet holes 209 in each layer is the same, and the number of the air outlet holes 209 in each layer increases from bottom to top. For example, the number of the air outlet holes 209 in the third air outlet layer b3 is 7, the number of the air outlet holes 209 in the second air outlet layer b2 is 8, and the number of the air outlet holes 209 in the first air outlet layer b1 is 13. This embodiment can also achieve that the air volume of the air outlet area B increases from bottom to top, ensuring the humidity uniformity of different height areas.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration device includes a rack 106, on which items are placed, and the rack 106 supports the items, and the user can place different items on the rack 106 of the refrigeration device as needed. For example, in a refrigerator or a freezer, people may place food, drinks or other items that need to be refrigerated on the rack 106. One of the main functions of the rack 106 is to support the items placed thereon. To achieve this purpose, the rack 106 is usually made of a sturdy material, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to ensure that it can withstand a certain weight without deformation or damage. In addition, some racks 106 are also designed with special supporting members or sliding supports to accommodate items of different sizes and shapes.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the first channel is provided with an air outlet 209 located below the rack 106. When the air outlet 209 is set at a position close to the top of the storage compartment 102, this position is relatively high, and generally wine bottles will not be placed at this height, so it can be ensured that the air outlet 209 is not blocked. When the air outlet 209 is set on the side wall of the storage compartment 102 and is located below the rack 106, even if wine bottles and other items are placed on the rack 106, since the air outlet 209 is located below, it will not be blocked by the wine bottles and other items.

[0048] It is understandable that the rack 106 is made of wood, which has unique moisture absorption and release properties and can regulate the humidity environment in the refrigeration equipment to a certain extent. Wood, as a natural material, has a certain ability to absorb and release moisture. In a wine cabinet, the wooden rack 106 can help regulate the humidity to a certain extent, especially when the humidity fluctuates slightly, its slight regulating effect may help maintain the relative stability of the humidity in the wine cabinet. When the humidity in the wine cabinet suddenly rises or falls, the wooden rack 106 can be used as a "buffer" material to slow down the change of humidity, thereby providing a more stable storage environment for the wine.

[0049] It is understandable that the rack 106 is provided with a moisture permeable hole 107, and high humidity air can pass through the moisture permeable hole 107, so that the upper and lower areas of the rack 106 can be connected. The moisture permeable hole 107 provided on the rack 106 is intended to promote the circulation of high humidity air between the upper and lower areas of the rack 106. This design can ensure uniform distribution of humidity and temperature, and prevent local areas from mildew or odor due to excessive humidity or temperature. Through the design of the moisture permeable hole 107, damage to items caused by uneven humidity or temperature can be effectively avoided. Especially when storing items that are sensitive to humidity, such as wine bottles under the wooden rack 106, the moisture permeable hole 107 can reduce the risk of damage caused by a humid environment.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 is provided with a second channel, the humidification component 103 is connected to the second channel, the second channel is provided with an air return hole 105, the air return hole 105 is located on the side wall of the storage compartment 102, and the air return hole 105 and the air outlet 209 are respectively located on opposite sides of the storage compartment 102. The air return hole 105 is generally arranged on one side of the storage compartment 102, close to the bottom. Such a design helps the sinking high-humidity air to mix with the dry air in the storage compartment 102 and enter from the bottom, and improve the overall humidification effect through internal circulation to ensure uniform humidity distribution. The air outlet 209 is arranged on the other side of the storage compartment 102, close to the top. By arranging the air return hole 105 and the air outlet 209 on opposite sides of the storage compartment 102, the air flow short circuit phenomenon can be avoided, that is, the high-humidity air is directly discharged, and directly flows back to the humidification component 103 from the air return hole 105 without being fully mixed with the dry air, thereby improving the humidification efficiency and stability. The air return hole 105 and the air outlet hole 209 are designed to be diagonal, which can extend the flow path of the air flow as much as possible and allow the high-humidity air and the dry air in the storage compartment 102 to be fully mixed.

[0051] It is understandable that the sum of the areas of all the return holes 105 is greater than the sum of the areas of all the outlet holes 209. In the refrigeration equipment, the area design of the return holes 105 needs to ensure sufficient air circulation. A larger area of ​​the return holes 105 helps to increase the amount of dry air entering the humidification component 103. A larger area of ​​the return holes 105 can promote more air circulation and improve the humidification efficiency of the humidification component 103. A larger area of ​​the return holes 105 can reduce the pressure loss during air flow, thereby reducing energy consumption. A larger area of ​​the return holes 105 can reduce the noise during air flow and improve the quietness of the system.

[0052] Reference Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 includes a body 301 and an insulation layer, the insulation layer is coated on the outer layer of the body 301, the interior of the body 301 forms a storage compartment 102, and the air outlet channel is located between the insulation layer and the body 301. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cabinet 101 includes a first air duct 302, and the first air duct 302 defines a first channel. When using the refrigeration device, the user will not see a messy air duct layout, thereby improving the overall aesthetics.

For example, an air guide groove is provided on the insulation layer, and the notch of the air guide groove is fitted to the outer surface of the tank body 301, thereby forming the first channel.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that the first air duct 302 includes a first air guide section 304, which is located at the junction of the adjacent two side walls of the storage compartment 102 and is arranged along the height direction of the cabinet 101. The bottom end of the first air guide section 304 is connected to the humidification component 103. Specifically, the opening at the bottom end of the first air guide section 304 is defined as a first port 401, and the first port 401 faces the humidification component 103. A first air guide portion 402 is provided between the humidification component 103 and the first air guide section 304. One end of the first air guide portion 402 is connected to the first port 401, and the other end is connected to the second installation groove 206 where the water storage component 201 is located. After the airflow blown out by the fan 202 passes through the water storage component 201, it enters the first air guide section 304 through the first air guide portion 402 and flows upward. The first air guide section 304 is located at the corners on both sides of the back of the gallbladder body 301 to reduce the occupied storage area.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the first air duct 302 includes a second air guide section 305, the second air guide section 305 is located outside the side wall of the storage room 102, and is arranged in the horizontal direction, the air outlet 209 is connected to the second air guide section 305, and multiple air outlets 209 are arranged in the depth direction of the refrigeration equipment, so that the high-humidity air behind the storage room 102 can be transmitted to the front of the storage room 102. The first air guide section 304 is arranged in the height direction of the cabinet 101, and the high-humidity air is transported to multiple second air guide sections 305 at different heights. The second air guide section 305 is arranged in the horizontal direction, so that the high-humidity air is blown out from different heights and different depths, thereby improving the uniformity of humidification.

[0056] Reference Figure 4As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 includes a second air duct 303, and the second air duct 303 defines a return air channel. The bottom end of the second air duct 303 is connected to the humidification component 103, specifically, the opening at the bottom end of the second air duct 303 is defined as a second port 403, and the second port 403 faces the humidification component 103. A second air guide 404 is provided between the humidification component 103 and the second air duct 303, and one end of the second air guide 404 is connected to the second port 403, and the other end is connected to the first installation slot 205 where the fan 202 is located.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration component includes an evaporator 601. In the related art, the humidification component 103 is located below the evaporator 601. When the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the defrost water generated falls to the humidification component 103 under the action of gravity, and water can be added to the humidification component 103, thereby recycling the defrost water, which can effectively reduce the frequency of users adding water and realize the recycling of defrost water.

[0058] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 207 is provided with a water receiving groove 208, which is located below the evaporator 601 and is used to collect and guide water flow. The water receiving groove 208 collects the condensed water / defrosting water into a water flow and guides it to the water storage part 201. For example, when the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the generated defrosting water falls to the water receiving groove 208 under the action of gravity, and the defrosting water returns to the water storage part 201 along the water receiving groove 208 for reuse, which can effectively reduce the frequency of users adding water. The humidification component 103 is also provided with a water inlet, which is located on the bottom wall of the water receiving groove 208. The water flow of the water receiving groove 208 falls from the water inlet into the interior of the water storage part 201 to replenish water for the water storage part 201.

[0059] By setting a water receiving tank 208 under the evaporator 601, the condensed water generated by the evaporator 601 is effectively collected and guided, and then the water resources are used to evaporate through the humidification material, 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.

[0060] 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.
