Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of humidification equipment technology, and more particularly to a storage box. Background Technology
[0002] Storage boxes, such as storage cabinets or cigar cabinets, are used to store items and provide suitable temperature and humidity to extend their shelf life.
[0003] In related technologies, a storage box includes a box body, an inner liner, and a humidifier. The inner liner is located inside the box body and defines a storage cavity for storing items. The humidifier is located inside the box body and at the bottom of the inner liner. The air outlet of the humidifier is connected to the storage cavity. When the humidifier is working, it delivers air with a set humidity level from bottom to top into the storage cavity through the air outlet to regulate the humidity of the air inside the storage cavity.
[0004] However, when the humidifier humidifies the storage cavity, there is a large difference in humidity between the bottom and top of the inner liner. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a storage box that solves the technical problem of large humidity differences between the bottom and top of the inner liner when the humidification device of the storage box humidifies the inner liner.
[0006] This application provides a storage box, including:
[0007] Box-shaped enclosure, with a cavity;
[0008] The inner liner, located inside the cavity, forms a storage cavity;
[0009] The opening for taking out or putting in food is formed on the front side of the storage cavity;
[0010] The rear wall is located in the inner liner and is positioned opposite the loading and unloading port.
[0011] A humidification device, located at the bottom of the cavity, is used to humidify the storage cavity; the humidification device includes:
[0012] The exhaust port, located in the humidification device, is used to supply air into the storage chamber.
[0013] The conveying air duct is located on the rear wall and has a connected air inlet and air outlet.
[0014] The air intake is connected to the storage chamber;
[0015] The air outlet is connected to the storage chamber and is located above the air inlet.
[0016] The exhaust port is oriented towards the air inlet or partially connected to the air inlet, so that some of the air discharged from the exhaust port enters the air inlet and some air directly enters the storage chamber.
[0017] In this application's storage box, a portion of the airflow flowing from the exhaust port into the bottom of the storage cavity flows to the air inlet and upwards along the conveying duct to the air outlet. From the air outlet, it flows into the upper region of the storage cavity, improving the humidification efficiency of the upper region of the storage cavity. Due to the gravity of water molecules, humid air flows downwards at a faster rate than upwards. Therefore, the airflow flowing from the air outlet into the storage cavity can quickly flow downwards, allowing the airflow to rapidly diffuse throughout the entire storage cavity. This reduces the humidity difference between the upper and lower regions of the storage cavity and improves the uniformity of humidity within the storage cavity.
[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the humidification device further includes:
[0019] The shell has a humidification chamber and an exhaust chamber. The humidification chamber has an air outlet, and the exhaust chamber is connected to the humidification chamber through the air outlet. The exhaust chamber also has an exhaust port.
[0020] The humidifier also includes an air guide, which is located inside the exhaust chamber and is configured to guide the air out of the outlet to the exhaust port.
[0021] This design guides the airflow from the outlet, making it easier for the air to flow towards the exhaust port.
[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the air guide includes at least two air guide fins, and an air guide channel is formed between two adjacent air guide fins. One end of the air guide channel faces the air outlet, and the other end of the air guide channel faces the exhaust port.
[0023] With this configuration, after the humidified air in the humidification chamber is blown into the exhaust chamber from the air outlet, at least part of the humidified air flows from the end of the air guide channel toward the air outlet and flows along the air guide channel toward the direction closer to the exhaust port. Then, it flows out of the air guide channel from the end away from the air outlet. At least part of the humidified air that flows out of the air guide channel flows into the storage chamber through the exhaust port to humidify the storage chamber.
[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet is a strip-shaped air outlet that extends along a first direction and the air outlet is directed toward the side of the exhaust chamber.
[0025] There are two exhaust ports, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction at the top of the exhaust chamber;
[0026] The positions of the air outlet and the two exhaust outlets correspond;
[0027] The air guide fins and the air outlet are arranged opposite each other. There are multiple air guide fins, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction to form two air guide fin groups that correspond to the two exhaust outlets respectively.
[0028] In this configuration, the air inlet ends of both air guide fin assemblies face the air outlet; the air outlet ends of both air guide fin assemblies are away from the air outlet and extend towards their respective exhaust ports.
[0029] With this configuration, the two air guide fins guide the airflow blown out of the air outlet in two directions, causing the airflow to be discharged from two exhaust ports arranged along the first direction. This reduces the humidity variation of the air in the storage chamber along the first direction and improves the uniformity of humidity in the storage chamber.
[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the air guide fin that is away from the air outlet is tilted toward the corresponding exhaust port relative to the end that is closer to the air outlet.
[0031] The tilt angle of multiple air guide fins in the air guide fin assembly relative to the center line of the air outlet gradually increases from the end furthest from the corresponding exhaust port to the end closest to the corresponding exhaust port.
[0032] With this configuration, the first and second air guide fin groups can guide the airflow blown out from the air outlet in two directions, causing the airflow to be discharged from two exhaust ports arranged along the first direction. This reduces the humidity variation of the air in the storage chamber along the first direction and improves the uniformity of humidity in the storage chamber.
[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the exhaust port is located at one end of the top of the housing near the rear wall;
[0034] The shell also has a fan cavity, which has an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is located on the front side of the shell. The fan cavity is connected to the storage cavity through the air inlet and to the humidification cavity through the air outlet.
[0035] The humidification device also includes a fan, which is located inside the fan chamber and is configured to circulate the air in the storage chamber, humidification chamber and exhaust chamber in sequence.
[0036] With this configuration, the air inlet of the fan chamber is located on the front side of the casing. Therefore, when the fan is working, the air in the storage chamber enters the fan chamber from the front side of the casing, flows through the humidification chamber and the exhaust chamber, and returns to the storage chamber through the exhaust port. When the airflow from the exhaust port flows towards the end of the storage chamber away from the take-in / take-out port, the airflow from the end of the storage chamber away from the take-in / take-out port flows towards the take-in / take-out port and continues to flow from the air inlet on the front side of the casing to the fan chamber. This cycle allows the humidified airflow to circulate from back to front along the depth direction of the storage chamber, increasing the coverage of the humidified airflow along the depth direction of the storage chamber and reducing the difference in air humidity along the depth direction in the storage chamber, thus improving the uniformity of air humidity in the storage chamber.
[0037] In some embodiments of this application, at least one air guide plate is provided inside the exhaust port, and the air guide plate is inclined relative to the horizontal direction.
[0038] With this configuration, the air guide plate can further guide the airflow from the exhaust port, allowing the airflow in the exhaust chamber to flow upwards from the exhaust port along the inclined direction of the air guide plate into the storage chamber.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, the top end of the air guide plate extends at an angle away from the front side of the housing from the bottom end.
[0040] This design allows the airflow in the exhaust chamber to flow upwards along the air guide plate from the exhaust port and toward the rear wall of the storage chamber, so that the humid air can flow to the end of the storage chamber near the rear wall to humidify the depth of the storage chamber.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the inner liner also has two sidewalls disposed opposite to each other, with the sidewalls and the rear wall being adjacent to each other;
[0042] There are two exhaust ports, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction on the top of the humidifier, and the two exhaust ports are respectively located close to the two side walls;
[0043] The top of the air guide plate inside the exhaust port is inclined and extends towards the corresponding side wall from the bottom.
[0044] With this configuration, the air guide plate can direct the airflow from the exhaust port toward both the rear wall and the side wall, increasing the airflow direction of the exhaust port and thus improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device in the storage chamber.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the humidification device further includes a humidification component disposed inside the humidification chamber, and the humidification component has water absorption and air permeability.
[0046] The housing includes:
[0047] The first partition separates the exhaust chamber and the humidification chamber. The exhaust chamber is located above the first partition. A third mounting port is provided on the first partition. A second mounting port is formed on the top of the exhaust chamber. The second mounting port and the third mounting port are arranged opposite to each other.
[0048] The cover plate component blocks the second mounting port and is detachably connected to the housing. The cover plate component is provided with an exhaust port.
[0049] The top of the air guide and the cover plate are detachably connected, the bottom of the air guide is connected to the humidifying component, and at least part of the humidifying component is installed in the humidifying chamber via a third mounting port.
[0050] This design increases the contact area between air and moisture, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device in the storage chamber. When the humidification component needs to be replaced, the cover plate is removed from the housing, and the humidification component is moved out through the third and second mounting ports along with the cover plate. Then, the humidification component is removed from the cover plate, and a new humidification component is installed on the cover plate. Finally, the whole assembly of the new humidification component and the cover plate is installed onto the housing through the second mounting port. The humidification component passes through the third mounting port and is inserted into the humidification chamber, thus facilitating the replacement of the humidification component.

[0111] Regarding storage boxes in related technologies, there is a technical problem where the humidity difference between the bottom and top of the inner liner is large when the humidification device humidifies the inner liner. This application provides a storage box with a conveying air duct on the rear wall of the inner liner. The conveying air duct has a connected air inlet and outlet, both of which are connected to the storage cavity. The outlet is located above the inlet. The exhaust port of the humidification device faces the inlet or is partially connected to the inlet, so that some of the air discharged from the exhaust port enters the inlet, and some air directly enters the storage cavity. A portion of the airflow flowing from the exhaust port into the bottom of the storage cavity flows to the inlet, then upwards along the conveying air duct to the outlet, and from the outlet to the upper area of the storage cavity. This improves the humidification efficiency of the upper area of the storage cavity and reduces the humidity difference between the upper and lower parts of the storage cavity.
[0112] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0113] It should be noted that, in this application embodiment, "front side" refers to the side of the storage box facing the user when it is in normal use. "Rear side" refers to the side opposite to the front side, that is, the side of the storage box facing away from the user when it is in normal use. "Left side" refers to the side of the storage box located on the user's left when it is in normal use. "Right side" refers to the side of the storage box located on the user's right when it is in normal use.
[0114] The storage box in this application embodiment can be a refrigerator, a cigar cabinet, or other humidifying device that can be used to store items.
[0115] refer to Figure 1 The storage box in this application embodiment may include a box body 110, which forms a cavity with an opening on the front side.
[0116] The storage box may also include an inner liner 20 disposed within the cavity. The inner liner 20 may be configured with a storage cavity 210. The front side of the storage cavity 210 may have a retrieval port 211, through which a user may place items into the storage cavity 210 or retrieve items from the storage cavity 210.
[0117] The inner liner 20 may have a rear wall 213, which is opposite to the opening 211.
[0118] The inner liner 20 may have two sidewalls 212 arranged opposite to each other, with the rear end of the sidewall 212 adjacent to the rear wall 213 and the front end of the sidewall 212 facing away from the rear wall 213.
[0119] The storage box may also include a door 120, which is rotatably connected to the box body 110 to open or close the storage cavity 210.
[0120] In the implementation of the storage box as a refrigerator, the storage box may include a refrigeration device, which may be installed inside the box body 110 to provide cooling to the storage cavity 210.
[0121] The storage box may also include a humidification device 40, which is installed inside the box body 110. The humidification device 40 is used to humidify the storage cavity 210 to increase the air humidity inside the storage cavity 210 and meet the humidity requirements for storing items inside the storage cavity 210.
[0122] In some possible implementations of this application, the housing 110 may include a front wall located on the front side. The opening of the cavity is formed in the front wall.
[0123] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the storage box may also include a shelf 30, which is disposed in the storage cavity 210 and is used to place items.
[0124] The number of shelves 30 can be one or more. In the implementation with multiple shelves 30, the multiple shelves 30 can be arranged at Z-intervals along the height direction of the storage box. Multiple shelves 30 can increase the overall size of the platform on which items can be placed, thereby increasing the amount of items that can be stored in the storage box. The arrangement of multiple shelves 30 at Z-intervals along the height direction of the storage box can also improve the utilization rate of the space within the storage cavity 210.
[0125] The shelf 30 may be provided with ventilation holes 301, which can improve the air circulation above and below the shelf 30 and reduce the temperature and humidity difference between the top and bottom of the shelf 30.
[0126] In some possible implementations of this application's embodiments, the humidifying device 40 may include a housing 50. The housing 50 is disposed within the casing 110. For example, refer to... Figure 1 The shell 50 can be positioned between the bottom of the inner liner 20 and the bottom wall of the box body 110, so that the shell 50 is located on the bottom wall of the box body 110, and the box body 110 can support the shell 50. Moreover, the shell 50 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 20, and the height of the inner liner 20 is higher than the shell 50, so that the inner liner 20 is positioned in the upper part of the box body 110, reducing the degree of squatting required when the user takes out or puts out items in the storage cavity 210, and improving the user's comfort when taking out or putting out items.
[0127] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The housing 50 may be configured with a mounting cavity 510. The mounting cavity 510 may be located at the front of the housing 50, that is, the mounting cavity 510 is close to the front wall of the housing.
[0128] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 A first mounting opening 511 may be formed on the front side of the mounting cavity 510, that is, a first mounting opening 511 is formed on the side of the housing 50 near the front wall of the box.
[0129] In some other embodiments, a first mounting port 511 may be formed on the top of the mounting cavity 510, and the first mounting port 511 may communicate with the storage cavity 210.
[0130] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The humidification device 40 may include a water box 60 for storing water. The water box 60 is detachably disposed in the mounting cavity 510 through the first mounting port 511 so that the water box 60 can be removed from the mounting cavity 510 to facilitate the addition of water to the water box 60.
[0131] In the implementation where the first mounting port 511 is located on the front side of the mounting cavity 510, refer to Figure 4 The water box 60 is removably installed in the mounting cavity 510 via the first mounting port 511. When it is necessary to remove the water box 60 from the mounting cavity 510 to add water, the water box 60 can be directly pulled out from the mounting cavity 510, which is convenient and quick.
[0132] In the embodiment where the first mounting port 511 is located at the top of the mounting cavity 510, the water box 60 is installed into the mounting cavity 510 from top to bottom through the first mounting port 511. When it is necessary to remove the water box 60 from the mounting cavity 510 for adding water, the water box 60 can be pulled out upwards, which is convenient and quick.
[0133] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 50 may also be configured with a humidification chamber 520. The humidification chamber 520 may be located on the side of the mounting cavity 510 away from the front wall of the housing. After the water box 60 is provided in the mounting cavity 510, the water box 60 and the humidification chamber 520 are connected to supply water to the humidification chamber 520.
[0134] The housing 50 may have a second partition 530 located between the mounting cavity 510 and the humidification cavity 520. The mounting cavity 510 and the humidification cavity 520 may be separated by the second partition 530.
[0135] The second partition 530 may be provided with a humidification docking component 540, and the water box 60 may be provided with a liquid storage docking component 620 on the side facing the second partition 530. When the humidification docking component 540 and the liquid storage docking component 620 are docked, the water box 60 and the humidification chamber 520 are connected. At this time, the water in the water box 60 can flow into the humidification chamber 520 through the liquid storage docking component 620 and the humidification docking component 540 to supply water into the humidification chamber 520.
[0136] The top of the humidification chamber 520 may have an air outlet 521, which is configured to communicate with the storage chamber 210 to allow air to circulate between the humidification chamber 520 and the storage chamber 210.
[0137] refer to Figure 5 The humidifying device 40 may also include a flap 580, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 50. When the fan 70 is working, the flap 580 opens the air outlet 521 under the action of the airflow from the fan 70. When the fan 70 stops working, the flap 580 closes the air outlet 521 under its own weight.
[0138] In the configuration where the inlet of the fan 70 is connected to the storage chamber 210 and the outlet of the fan 70 is connected to the humidification chamber 520, the flap 580 can be located outside the humidification chamber 520, covering the side of the air outlet 521 away from the humidification chamber 520. When the fan 70 is working, the air from the fan 70 flows from the humidification chamber 520 to the storage chamber 210. The air pressure on the side of the flap 580 facing the humidification chamber 520 is greater than the air pressure on the side of the flap 580 away from the humidification chamber 520. Under the action of the air pressure difference on both sides, the flap 580 rotates relative to the housing 50 towards the side away from the humidification chamber 520, and opens the air outlet 521, allowing the air in the humidification chamber 520 to flow from the air outlet 521 into the storage chamber 210.
[0139] When the fan 70 stops working, the air pressure difference on both sides of the flap 580 decreases. The flap 580 overcomes the small airflow at the air outlet 521 by its own gravity, so that the flap 580 can still keep the air outlet 521 closed under the influence of the small airflow. This makes it difficult for the humid air in the humidification chamber 520 to enter the storage chamber 210 through the air outlet 521 when the fan 70 stops working, making it difficult for the air in the humidification chamber 520 to form a circulating flow path with the air in the storage chamber 210.
[0140] In the configuration where the inlet of the fan 70 is connected to the humidification chamber 520 and the outlet of the fan 70 is connected to the storage chamber 210, the flap 580 can be located inside the humidification chamber 520, covering the side of the air outlet 521 closest to the humidification chamber 520. When the fan 70 is working, the air from the fan 70 flows from the storage chamber 210 to the humidification chamber 520. The air pressure on the side of the flap 580 away from the humidification chamber 520 is greater than the air pressure on the side of the flap 580 facing the humidification chamber 520. Under the action of the air pressure difference on both sides, the flap 580 rotates relative to the housing 50 towards the humidification chamber 520 and opens the air outlet 521, allowing the air in the storage chamber 210 to flow from the air outlet 521 into the humidification chamber 520.
[0141] When the fan 70 stops working, the air pressure difference on both sides of the flap 580 decreases. The flap 580 overcomes the small airflow at the air outlet 521 by its own weight, so that the flap 580 can still keep the air outlet 521 closed under the influence of the small airflow. This makes it difficult for the air in the storage chamber 210 to form a circulation path with the air in the humidification chamber 520 when the fan 70 stops working.
[0142] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The humidification connector 540 may include a first tube 542, which is disposed on the second partition 530. One end of the first tube 542 extends into the humidification chamber 520, and the other end of the first tube 542 extends out of the humidification chamber 520.
[0143] The humidifying connector 540 may include a first stop 545, which is disposed at the end of the first tube 542 away from the water box 60. The first stop 545 may be configured with a water outlet, and the first tube 542 is connected to the humidifying chamber 520 through the water outlet, so that water in the first tube 542 can flow from the water outlet into the humidifying chamber 520.
[0144] The humidifying connection 540 may include a first seal 543, which is movably disposed within the first tube 542.
[0145] The humidifying docking member 540 may include a first spring 544, which is disposed between the first seal 543 and the first stop 545. The direction of the elastic force of the first spring 544 on the first seal 543 is from the first stop 545 to the first seal 543.
[0146] Before the humidifying docking part 540 and the liquid storage docking part 620 are docked, the first sealing part 543 stops and seals the end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop part 545 under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 544.
[0147] The liquid storage docking component 620 may include a second tube 621, which is disposed on the side of the water box 60 facing the humidification docking component 540. One end of the second tube 621 extends into the water box 60, and the other end of the second tube 621 extends out of the water box 60.
[0148] The liquid storage connection 620 may include a second stop 624, which is disposed at the end of the second tube 621 opposite to the second partition 530. The second stop 624 may be configured with a water inlet, and the second tube 621 is connected to the water box 60 through the water inlet, so that water in the water box 60 can flow into the second tube 621 through the water inlet.
[0149] The liquid storage docking component 620 may include a second seal 622, which is disposed inside the second tube body 621.
[0150] The liquid storage docking member 620 may include a second spring 623, which is disposed between the second seal member 622 and the second stop member 624. The direction of the elastic force of the second spring 623 on the second seal member 622 is from the second stop member 624 to the second seal member 622.
[0151] Before the liquid storage docking part 620 and the humidification docking part 540 are docked, the second sealing part 622 stops and seals the end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop part 624 under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 623.
[0152] After the humidifying connector 540 and the liquid storage connector 620 are connected, the end of the first tube 542 facing away from the first stop 545 and the end of the second tube 621 facing away from the second stop 624 are nested together. The end of the second tube 621 facing away from the second stop 624 can be sleeved over the first tube 542. Alternatively, the end of the first tube 542 facing away from the first stop 545 can be sleeved over the second tube 621.
[0153] After the humidifying docking part 540 and the liquid storage docking part 620 are docked, the first sealing part 543 and the second sealing part 622 abut against each other. The first sealing part 543 moves toward the first stop 545 and opens the end of the first tube 542 away from the first stop 545. At this time, the first spring 544 is compressed. The second sealing part 622 moves toward the second stop 624 and opens the end of the second tube 621 away from the second stop 624. At this time, the second spring 623 is compressed.
[0154] After the humidifying connector 540 and the liquid storage connector 620 are connected, the first sealing member 543 opens the end of the first tube 542 away from the first stop member 545, and the second sealing member 622 opens the end of the second tube 621 away from the second stop member 624. The end of the first tube 542 away from the first stop member 545 and the end of the second tube 621 away from the second stop member 624 are nested together. Therefore, the first tube 542 and the second tube 621 are connected and sealed. At this time, the water in the water box 60 can flow into the humidifying chamber 520 through the second tube 621 and the first tube 542 to supply water into the humidifying chamber 520.
[0155] When the water tank 60 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 510, as the liquid storage docking part 620 and the humidification docking part 540 separate, the interaction force between the first seal 543 and the second seal 622 is released. Under the elastic force of the first spring 544, the first seal 543 moves away from the first stop 545, stopping and sealing the end of the first tube 542 away from the first stop 545, making it difficult for water in the humidification cavity 520 to overflow from the end of the first tube 542 away from the first stop 545. Under the elastic force of the second spring 623, the second seal 622 moves away from the second stop 624, stopping and sealing the end of the second tube 621 away from the second stop 624, making it difficult for water in the water tank 60 to overflow from the end of the second tube 621 away from the second stop 624.
[0156] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 50 may also include an exhaust chamber 550, located above the humidification chamber 520. The humidification chamber 520 and the exhaust chamber 550 are connected via an air outlet 521. (Reference) Figure 7 The top of the exhaust chamber 550 forms a second mounting port 552.
[0157] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The humidifier 40 may also include a cover plate component 80. The cover plate component 80 covers the second mounting port 552. The cover plate component 80 and the housing 50 are detachably connected. The cover plate component 80 is provided with an exhaust port 811, and the exhaust chamber 550 is connected to the storage chamber 210 through the exhaust port 811. The exhaust chamber 550 collects the airflow discharged from the air outlet 521 and discharges it from the exhaust port 811 into the storage chamber 210, thereby improving the stability of the airflow delivered from the exhaust port 811 into the storage chamber 210.
[0158] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the humidification device 40 may also include a fan 70, which is disposed inside the housing 50.
[0159] The inlet of the fan 70 can be connected to the storage chamber 210, and the outlet of the fan 70 can be connected to the humidification chamber 520. When the fan 70 is working, the air in the storage chamber 210 flows to the humidification chamber 520 through the inlet and outlet of the fan 70. As the air flows through the humidification chamber 520, it carries away some of the moisture in the humidification chamber 520, increasing the humidity of the air flowing out of the air outlet 521 of the humidification chamber 520. The humid air gathers from the air outlet 521 into the exhaust chamber 550, and then flows back into the storage chamber 210 from the exhaust port 811, thereby increasing the humidity of the air in the storage chamber 210. This cycle continues to regulate the humidity of the air in the storage chamber 210. Because the fan 70 can increase the airflow rate between the storage chamber 210, the humidification chamber 520, and the exhaust chamber 550, the fan 70 can increase the humidity regulation rate of the storage chamber 210.
[0160] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The housing 50 may also be configured with a fan cavity 570, which is located below the mounting cavity 510. The air inlet 571 of the fan cavity 570 is located on the front side of the housing 50. The fan cavity 570 is connected to the storage cavity 210 through the air inlet 571 and to the humidification cavity 520 through the exhaust port 572. The fan 70 is installed inside the fan chamber 570. When the fan 70 is working, the air in the storage chamber 210 enters the fan chamber 570 through the air inlet 571 and flows from the air outlet 572 to the humidification chamber 520. When the air flows through the humidification chamber 520, it carries away some of the moisture in the humidification chamber 520, which increases the humidity of the air flowing out from the air outlet 521 of the humidification chamber 520. The humid air is collected from the air outlet 521 to the exhaust chamber 550, and then flows from the exhaust port 811 into the storage chamber 210 to increase the humidity of the air in the storage chamber 210. This cycle is repeated to regulate the humidity of the air in the storage chamber 210.
[0161] In the implementation where the first mounting port 511 is located on the front side of the mounting cavity 510, refer to Figure 4 The exhaust chamber 550 and the humidification chamber 520 can both be located on the side of the mounting cavity 510 away from the first mounting port 511. The exhaust chamber 550 is located above the humidification chamber 520, and the exhaust port 811 is located at the top of the housing 50. (Refer to...) Figure 8The exhaust port 811 is located at the top of the housing 50 and away from the front side of the housing 50. Since the air inlet 571 of the fan cavity 570 is located on the front side of the housing 50, when the fan 70 is working, the air in the storage cavity 210 enters the fan cavity 570 from the front side of the housing 50, flows through the humidification cavity 520 and the exhaust cavity 550, and returns to the storage cavity 210 through the exhaust port 811. When the airflow from the exhaust port 811 flows towards the end of the storage cavity 210 away from the take-up and put-down port 211, the airflow from the end of the storage cavity 210 away from the take-up and put-down port 211 flows towards the take-up and put-down port 211, and continues to flow from the air inlet 571 on the front side of the housing 50 to the fan cavity 570. This cycle allows the humidified airflow to circulate from back to front along the depth direction Y of the storage cavity 210, increasing the coverage of the humidified airflow along the depth direction Y of the storage cavity 210, reducing the difference in air humidity along the depth direction Y in the storage cavity 210, and improving the uniformity of air humidity in the storage cavity 210.
[0162] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The exhaust chamber 550 and the humidification chamber 520 are separated by a first partition 560. A third mounting port 561 is provided on the first partition 560, and the third mounting port 561 and the second mounting port 552 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0163] The humidifying device 40 may also include a humidifying component 90. The humidifying component 90 is absorbent and breathable. Exemplarily, the humidifying component 90 may include humidifying fibers 920 or humidifying cotton, etc. The humidifying fibers 920 may be fibers that are absorbent and breathable.
[0164] The humidifying component 90 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the cover plate component 80. Part of the humidifying component 90 is mounted in the humidifying chamber 520 via the third mounting port 561. The bottom end of the humidifying component 90 is positioned below the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 520. The humidifying component 90 above the liquid level divides the humidifying chamber 520 above the liquid level into a first humidifying chamber 522 and a second humidifying chamber 523. The first humidifying chamber 522 is connected to the outlet of the fan 70, and the second humidifying chamber 523 is connected to the exhaust chamber 550.
[0165] The humidifying component 90 is absorbent. The humidifying component 90 below the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 520 absorbs water and transports the water upward to the humidifying component 90 above the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 520.
[0166] Taking humidifying fiber 920 as an example, humidifying fiber 920 has many capillary structures. When part of the humidifying fiber 920 is immersed in water, the humidifying fiber 920 can quickly absorb water under the action of wetting and capillary structure. Water molecules rise in the capillary structure of the humidifying fiber 920, so that the humidifying fiber 920 above the liquid surface also adsorbs water.
[0167] The humidifying component 90 is breathable. When the fan 70 is working, the air in the storage chamber 210 flows through the inlet and outlet of the fan 70 to the first humidifying chamber 522, passes through the humidifying fibers 920 above the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 520, and then flows to the second humidifying chamber 523. As the air passes through the humidifying fibers 920, it carries away some of the moisture absorbed by the fibers, increasing the humidity of the air. The humidified air in the second humidifying chamber 523 flows from the air outlet 521 to the storage chamber 210 to humidify the storage chamber 210. The humidifying fibers 920 increase the contact area between air and moisture, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifying device 40 in the storage chamber 210.
[0168] In an implementation where the humidifying component 90 includes humidifying fibers 920, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 The humidifying component 90 may also include a bracket 910.
[0169] The bracket 910 may include an upper frame 911. The upper frame 911 is located within the exhaust chamber 550, and the top of the upper frame 911 is detachably connected to the cover plate component 80.
[0170] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 The upper frame 911 may include a plug-in component 912. The plug-in component 912 is located on the top of the upper frame 911 and has a slot 913. The slot 913 may be a cuboid slot, a cylindrical slot, or a slot of other shapes. The opening of the slot 913 may face upward or toward the side of the plug-in component 912.
[0171] The upper frame 911 may also include a stop member 914. The stop member 914 includes a resilient connecting arm 915, the extension direction of which may be approximately parallel to the center line of the slot 913.
[0172] In the implementation where the slot 913 faces upward, the bottom end of the flexible connecting arm 915 can be located on the plug-in component 912.
[0173] In the implementation where the slot of the slot 913 faces the side of the plug-in member 912, one end of the resilient connecting arm 915 extending in the direction of extension can be disposed on the plug-in member 912 below the slot 913.
[0174] The stop member 914 may also include a third stop member 916. The third stop member 916 is disposed at the end of the elastic connecting arm 915 away from the insertion member 912, the third stop member 916 corresponds to at least a portion of the slot 913, and the third stop member 916 and the slot 913 are spaced apart.
[0175] The bottom of the cover plate component 80 has a plug-in portion 821, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the slot 913. The plug-in portion 821 is inserted into the slot 913.
[0176] In the implementation where the slot of the slot 913 faces upward, the insertion part 821 is inserted into the slot 913 from top to bottom through the slot.
[0177] In the implementation where the slot of the slot 913 faces the side of the plug-in member 912, the plug-in part 821 is inserted into the slot 913 horizontally via the slot, which reduces the vertical space occupied by the plug-in part 821 and the plug-in member 912.
[0178] After the plug part 821 is inserted into the slot 913, the third stop 916 stops the plug part 821 at the end away from the slot 913, so that the plug part 821 is not easily moved out of the slot 913.
[0179] When it is necessary to remove the upper frame 911 from the cover plate component 80, the third stop 916 is moved. Under the action of the elastic connecting arm 915, the third stop 916 releases the stop on the insertion part 821. At this time, the insertion part 821 can be moved out of the slot 913, thereby separating the upper frame 911 from the cover plate component 80.
[0180] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the upper frame 911 and the cover plate component 80 can be connected by fastening bolts to achieve a detachable connection between the upper frame 911 and the cover plate component 80.
[0181] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the frame may further include a lower frame 918. The lower frame 918 is disposed at the bottom of the upper frame 911. The lower frame 918 and the upper frame 911 may be integrally disposed.
[0182] At least a portion of the lower frame 918 is disposed within the humidification chamber 520 via the third mounting port 561.
[0183] refer to Figure 9 The humidifying fiber 920 is disposed in the lower frame 918. Exemplarily, the lower frame 918 may be formed with at least one mounting frame 919, in which the humidifying fiber 920 is disposed, so as to dispose the humidifying fiber 920 in the lower frame 918.
[0184] In other implementations, the edge of the humidifying fiber 920 can be fixed to the lower frame 918 by fastening bolts.
[0185] The humidifying fiber 920 is located inside the humidifying chamber 520. The humidifying fiber 920 and the lower frame 918 inside the humidifying chamber 520 together divide the humidifying chamber 520 above the liquid level into a first humidifying chamber 522 and a second humidifying chamber 523.
[0186] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The bottom of the upper frame 911 may have a sealing plate 917. The bottom surface of the sealing plate 917 faces the third mounting port 561. The sealing plate 917 overlaps the top of the first partition 560 and blocks the third mounting port 561 to separate the humidification chamber 520 and the exhaust chamber 550, so that the airflow in the humidification chamber 520 is not easily allowed to flow from the third mounting port 561 into the exhaust chamber 550.
[0187] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The cover plate component 80 may include a cover plate 810. The cover plate 810 covers the second mounting port 552. An exhaust port 811 is formed in the cover plate 810. The cover plate 810 and the housing 50 are detachably connected.
[0188] In some implementations, a first limiting member 553 may be provided on the peripheral edge of the second mounting port 552. The first limiting member 553 may be block-shaped, sheet-shaped, column-shaped, or other shapes. The first limiting member 553 protrudes from the peripheral edge of the second mounting port 552 toward the inside of the second mounting port 552.
[0189] The circumferential edge of the cover plate 810 may be provided with a flexible snap-fit structure 812.
[0190] The resilient snap-fit structure 812 may include a resilient arm 813, which may be a long strip, a sheet, or a rod. The resilient arm 813 may extend at an angle relative to the horizontal direction. The bottom end of the resilient arm 813 is connected to the bottom of the cover plate 810. The top end of the resilient arm 813 extends above the cover plate 810 to facilitate the user to move the top end of the resilient arm 813. In its natural state, the top end of the resilient arm 813 extends further away from the cover plate 810 than its bottom end.
[0191] The elastic snap-fit structure 812 may further include a second limiting member 814, which may be block-shaped, sheet-shaped, column-shaped, or other shapes. The second limiting member 814 is disposed on the side of the elastic arm 813 facing the peripheral edge of the second mounting opening 552. The second limiting member 814 is snapped onto the bottom of the first limiting member 553, and the elastic connecting arm 915 and the first limiting member 553 are elastically engaged, so that the second limiting member 814 and the peripheral edge of the second mounting opening 552 are tightly engaged, thereby making the cover plate 810 and the housing 50 detachably connected.
[0192] The top end of the elastic arm 813 in the extension direction can move elastically toward the cover plate 810. The elastic arm 813 drives the second limiting member 814 to move toward the cover plate 810, so that the second limiting member 814 and the first limiting member 553 are separated. At this time, the cover plate 810 can be removed from the housing 50 by moving the cover plate 810 upward.
[0193] In some other implementations, the cover plate 810 and the housing 50 can be detachably connected by fastening bolts.
[0194] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The top of the upper frame 911 can be detachably mounted on the bottom of the cover plate 810.
[0195] In some other possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The cover plate component 80 may also include a connector 820. The connector 820 is disposed at the bottom of the cover plate 810, and the connector 820 and the humidifying component 90 are detachably connected. By detachably connecting the connector 820 and the humidifying component 90, the structure constructed on the cover plate 810 can be reduced, thereby improving the structural strength of the cover plate 810.
[0196] In an implementation where the cover plate component 80 has a plug portion 821 at its bottom, the plug portion 821 may be located at the bottom of the connector 820.
[0197] In some possible implementations of this application, the circumferential edge of the cover plate 810 may be constructed with a receiving notch 815, which is recessed from the circumferential edge of the cover plate 810 into the interior of the cover plate 810. The first limiting member 553 corresponds to the receiving notch 815. The elastic snap-fit structure 812 is disposed within the receiving notch 815 to reduce the length of the elastic snap-fit structure 812 extending beyond the circumferential edge of the cover plate 810, thereby reducing the gap between the circumferential edge of the cover plate 810 and the circumferential edge of the second mounting opening 552, and improving the shielding effect of the cover plate 810 on the second mounting opening 552.
[0198] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the peripheral edge of the second mounting port 552 can be located outside the top opening of the exhaust cavity 550, and the bottom edge of the cover plate 810 abuts against the end face of the top of the exhaust cavity 550. In this way, the end face of the top of the exhaust cavity 550 can support the cover plate 810 and stop at the bottom of the cover plate 810, so that the cover plate 810 is not easy to fall into the exhaust cavity 550 after installation.
[0199] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The rear wall 213 of the inner liner 20 may be provided with an air inlet 214. The number of air inlets 214 may be one or more. For example, refer to Figure 8 There can be two air intakes 214.
[0200] The rear wall 213 of the inner liner 20 may also be provided with an air outlet 215. The number of air outlets 215 may be one or more. For example, refer to Figure 8 There can be two air outlets 215.
[0201] The air outlet 215 can be located above the air inlet 214, so that the air inlet 214 is closer to the housing 50 and the exhaust port 811 on the housing 50 than the air outlet 215.
[0202] The humidifier 40 may also include a conveying air duct 100, which is disposed on the rear wall 213 and connects the air inlet 214 and the air outlet 215.
[0203] The exhaust port 811 is oriented towards the air inlet 214, or is partially connected to the air inlet 214, so that some of the air discharged from the exhaust port 811 enters the air inlet 214, and some of the air discharged from the exhaust port 811 directly enters the storage chamber 210. The air entering the air inlet 214 from the exhaust port 811 is transported upward along the conveying duct 100 to the air outlet 215, and flows from the air outlet 215 to the upper area of the storage chamber 210, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the upper area of the storage chamber 210.
[0204] For example, the exhaust port 811 and the air inlet 214 can be connected by a connecting pipe located inside the storage cavity 210. A connecting hole can be provided on the wall of the connecting pipe so that some air inside the connecting pipe can flow from the connecting hole into the storage cavity 210, thereby connecting the exhaust port 811 partially with the air inlet 214.
[0205] Due to the gravitational pull of water molecules, humid air flows downwards at a faster rate than it flows upwards. Therefore, the airflow from the outlet 215 into the storage cavity 210 can flow downwards quickly, allowing the airflow to spread rapidly throughout the entire storage cavity 210. This reduces the humidity difference between the upper and lower regions of the storage cavity 210 and improves the uniformity of humidity within the storage cavity 210.
[0206] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 10 The humidifier 40 may also include an air guide 10 disposed in the exhaust chamber 550 and configured to guide the air out of the air outlet 521 to the exhaust port 811.
[0207] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the air guide 10 can be constructed on the upper frame 911, so that the upper frame 911 can be used to connect with the cover plate component 80 and guide the air outlet 521 to the exhaust port 811.
[0208] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 10 The air guide 10 may include at least two air guide fins 11, with an air guide channel 12 formed between two adjacent air guide fins 11. One end of the air guide channel 12 faces the air outlet 521, and the other end of the air guide channel 12 faces the exhaust port 811. After the humidified air in the humidification chamber 520 is blown into the exhaust chamber 550 from the air outlet 521, at least a portion of the humidified air flows from the end of the air guide channel 12 toward the air outlet 521 and flows along the air guide channel 12 toward the direction close to the exhaust port 811. Then, it flows out of the air guide channel 12 from the end away from the air outlet 521. At least a portion of the humidified air flowing out of the air guide channel 12 flows into the storage chamber 210 through the exhaust port 811 to humidify the storage chamber 210.
[0209] The air guide channel 12 can guide at least part of the airflow from the air outlet 521, so that the airflow from the air outlet 521 can flow to the exhaust port 811 as much as possible, reducing the stagnation of airflow in the exhaust chamber 550, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the storage chamber 210.
[0210] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 and Figure 10 The air outlet 521 can be a strip-shaped air outlet 521, which can extend along the first direction D1. The first direction D1 can be consistent with the width direction X of the storage box, or have an angle with respect to the width direction X of the storage box. The air outlet 521 is directed to the side of the exhaust chamber 550, or in other words, the air outlet 521 is a side air outlet.
[0211] There can be two exhaust ports 811, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 on the top of the exhaust chamber 550. The positions of the air outlet 521 and the two exhaust ports 811 correspond.
[0212] The air guide fins 11 and the air outlet 521 are arranged opposite to each other. There are multiple air guide fins 11, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 and form two air guide fin groups 13 that correspond to the two exhaust ports 811 respectively.
[0213] The air inlet ends of the two air guide fin groups 13 are both facing the air outlet 521; the air outlet ends of the two air guide fin groups 13 are both away from the air outlet 521 and extend towards the corresponding exhaust port 811.
[0214] For example, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 10 The exhaust port 811 may include a first exhaust port 811a. The air guide fin assembly 13 may include a first air guide fin assembly 13a, which corresponds to the first exhaust port 811a. The air inlet end of the first air guide fin assembly 13a faces the air outlet 521, and the air outlet end of the first air guide fin assembly 13a faces the first exhaust port 811a.
[0215] The exhaust port 811 may also include a second exhaust port 811b. The air guide fin assembly 13 may also include a second air guide fin assembly 13b, which corresponds to the second exhaust port 811b. The air inlet end of the second air guide fin assembly 13b faces the air outlet 521, and the air outlet end of the second air guide fin assembly 13b faces the second exhaust port 811b.
[0216] In the airflow discharged from the outlet 521, the portion of the airflow discharged from the outlet 521 corresponding to the first guide fin group 13a flows towards the first exhaust port 811a under the guidance of the first guide fin group 13a. The portion of the airflow discharged from the outlet 521 corresponding to the second guide fin group 13b flows towards the second exhaust port 811b under the guidance of the second guide fin group 13b. (Reference) Figure 8 The airflow from the first exhaust port 811a and the second exhaust port 811b is discharged into the storage cavity 210 to humidify the storage cavity 210.
[0217] The first air guide fin group 13a and the second air guide fin group 13b can guide the airflow blown out from the air outlet 521 in two directions, so that the airflow is split into two paths and discharged from the two exhaust ports 811 arranged along the first direction D1, thereby reducing the humidity variation of the air in the storage cavity 210 along the first direction D1 and improving the humidity uniformity in the storage cavity 210.
[0218] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the end of the air guide fin 11 facing away from the air outlet 521 is inclined toward the corresponding exhaust port 811 relative to the end near the air outlet 521, so that the end of the air guide channel 12 formed between two adjacent air guide fins 11 facing away from the air outlet 521 is inclined toward the corresponding exhaust port 811 relative to the end near the air outlet 521, so as to improve the guiding effect of the air guide channel 12.
[0219] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 10 The tilt angle α of the plurality of guide fins 11 in the guide fin assembly 13 relative to the center line of the air outlet 521 gradually increases from the end away from the corresponding exhaust port 811 to the end closer to the corresponding exhaust port 811. For example, referring to Figure 10 α2 is greater than α1, so that the width of the air guide channel 12 formed between two adjacent air guide fins 11 gradually increases from the end near the air outlet 521 to the end away from the air outlet 521 along the first direction D1, so that the airflow flowing along the air guide channel 12 in the direction away from the air outlet 521 diffuses out, reduces the resistance of the air guide fins 11 to the airflow, thereby increasing the airflow speed and thus improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device 40 to the storage chamber 210.
[0220] In other embodiments, the tilting direction of the multiple air guide fins 11 in the air guide fins 11 may also be the same, so as to arrange multiple air guide fins 11 and facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the humidification device 40.
[0221] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 At least one air guide plate 551 can be provided inside the exhaust port 811. The air guide plate 551 can be inclined relative to the horizontal direction. The air guide plate 551 can further guide the air out of the exhaust port 811, so that the airflow in the exhaust chamber 550 can flow upward from the exhaust port 811 along the inclined direction of the air guide plate 551 into the storage chamber 210.
[0222] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 The top of the air guide plate 551 can be inclined and extended away from the front side of the housing 50 from the bottom, so that the airflow in the exhaust chamber 550 can flow from the exhaust port 811 along the air guide plate 551 inclined upward and toward the rear wall 213 of the storage chamber 210, so that the humid air can flow to the end of the storage chamber 210 near the rear wall 213 to humidify the depth of the storage chamber 210.
[0223] Furthermore, since the air inlet 214 is constructed on the rear wall 213 of the inner liner 20, the top end of the air guide plate 551 extends at an angle toward the rear wall 213, which makes it easier for at least part of the exhaust air from the exhaust port 811 to flow toward the air inlet 214, and then flow upward along the conveying air duct 100 from the air outlet 215 to the upper region of the storage cavity 210.
[0224] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The top of the air guide plate 551 extends at an angle toward the corresponding side wall 212, so that the air guide plate 551 can guide the air out of the exhaust port 811 toward the rear wall 213 and the air out of the exhaust port 811 toward the side wall 212, thereby increasing the air out direction of the exhaust port 811 and thus improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device 40 to the storage chamber 210.
[0225] In some possible implementations of this application, the air guide 10 can also be an air duct, with one end of the air duct facing the air outlet 521 and the other end facing the exhaust port 811. After the humidified air in the humidification chamber 520 is blown into the exhaust chamber 550 from the air outlet 521, at least part of the humidified air flows along the air duct toward the exhaust port 811 and flows from the exhaust port 811 into the storage chamber 210 to humidify the storage chamber 210.
