[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0037] A household intelligent drying storage cabinet includes:

[0038] Storage box body 1;

[0039] Top seat 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box body 1;

[0040] The rotating assembly has two sets. Each set of rotating assemblies includes a rotating hole 7, a rotating disk 8, a rotating shaft 9, and a heat insulation plate 10. The rotating hole 7 is opened in the top seat 5 and is connected to the interior of the storage box body 1. The rotating disk 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating hole 7 through the rotating shaft 9. The heat insulation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the two rotating disks 8.

[0041] The drying assembly is provided in multiple sets, which are respectively located in two sets of rotating assemblies. Each set of drying assemblies includes a heating plate 11, an arc panel 12, a heater 13, and anhydrous calcium chloride granules. The heating plate 11 and the arc panel 12 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two rotating disks 8. The arc panel 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the heating plate 11, and the heater 13 is fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two rotating disks 8. The heating part of the heater 13 is in contact with the surface of the heating plate 11. The heating plate 11 and the arc panel 12 form a drying bag, and the anhydrous calcium chloride granules are placed inside the drying bag.

[0042] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a top seat 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box body 1. Two sets of rotating components are provided inside the top seat 5, and each set of rotating components contains two sets of drying components. The two sets of drying components are symmetrically arranged. When each set of rotating components is running, it drives the two sets of drying components to rotate. The two sets of drying components rotate 180 degrees and alternately connect to the inside of the storage box body 1. The heating plate 11 and the arc panel 12 in each set of drying components form a drying bag, and anhydrous calcium chloride particles are placed inside the drying bag. When the arc panel 12 in one set of drying components rotates into the storage box body 1, the anhydrous calcium chloride particles fall onto the inner surface of the arc panel 12. The moisture inside the storage box body 1 is absorbed by the anhydrous calcium chloride particles through the holes on the surface of the arc panel 12. When the rotating components are running, the drying bag is rotated 180 degrees. Anhydrous calcium chloride granules that have absorbed moisture fall onto the inner surface of the heating plate 11. Simultaneously, the ball bearing 15 in the gravity control component falls onto the surface of the contact unit 16. When the contact unit 16 contacts the ball bearing 15, a signal is sent to the control module. The control module then controls the heater 13 to operate, heating the surface of the heating plate 11. The heat evaporates the moisture in the anhydrous calcium chloride granules, allowing the anhydrous calcium chloride granules to be reused. By using this device, the drying component absorbs moisture from the storage box body 1, maintaining a dry environment inside the storage box body 1, which is beneficial for the storage of items. The rotating component drives the drying component to flip, allowing for reuse. The rotating component operates periodically, requiring regular replacement of the drying component inside the storage box body 1 to maintain its good water absorption performance.

[0043] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-8 The surfaces of multiple curved panels 12 are provided with multiple holes, and the diameter of the anhydrous calcium chloride particles is smaller than the diameter of the holes.

[0044] In this embodiment, anhydrous calcium chloride particles will not fall out of the holes inside the drying bag.

[0045] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-8Each of the multiple heaters 13 is equipped with a gravity control component. Each gravity control component includes a control groove 14, a ball bearing 15, a contact unit 16, and a control module. The control groove 14 is opened inside the heater 13. The ball bearing 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the control groove 14. The contact unit 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the control groove 14. The control module is fixedly connected inside the heater 13. The control module controls the operation of the heater 13. The control module is electrically connected to the contact unit 16.

[0046] In this embodiment: the gravity control component cooperates with the rotation component. When the rotation component is running, the ball bearing 15 in the gravity control component slides in the control groove 14. When the ball bearing 15 contacts the contact unit 16, the contact unit 16 sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the heater 13 to run.
