Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tobacco product storage equipment technology, and in particular to a cigar cabinet structure that can be monitored in real time. Background Technology
[0002] The aging and maintenance of cigars require extremely strict control over the storage environment (such as temperature and humidity), and is typically carried out in a professional humidor. However, existing humidors have significant limitations. First, the doors are usually opaque or, due to internal structure constraints, users cannot directly observe the physical condition of the cigars (such as mold, cracking, or color changes) without opening the door. Regular manual inspection is necessary, which not only disrupts the stable temperature and humidity environment inside the humidor but is also extremely inconvenient. Second, to ensure uniform aging, traditional methods require manual periodic rotation of the cigars to prevent uneven aging due to gravity or prolonged contact with the support surface. This manual operation is not only tedious and time-consuming, but the rotation cycle and angle are also difficult to control precisely, relying on personal experience and affecting the stability and improvement of cigar quality. Therefore, existing humidors are insufficient in terms of intelligent and automated maintenance, failing to meet the needs of high-end cigar enthusiasts for convenient, precise, and efficient maintenance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to solve at least some of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a cigar cabinet structure that can automatically flip cigars, monitor the status of cigars in real time, and improve the cigar preservation effect.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A cigar cabinet structure with real-time monitoring includes a cabinet body and a door that rotates and opens / closes with the cabinet body. The cabinet body contains several bracket assemblies, each bracket assembly including a support frame and several parallel, synchronously rotating support shafts. Cigars are supported by adjacent support shafts. A camera for observing the cigar's condition is located on the upper side of each bracket assembly within the cabinet body. A control module connected to the camera is also located within the cabinet body. This control module includes a wireless transmission module for sending camera detection signals to a terminal. By adopting this technical solution: the synchronous rotation of the support shafts causes the cigars on them to rotate, achieving automatic and uniform aging; the camera can capture images of the cigars and remotely transmit them to a user terminal (e.g., a mobile phone or computer) via the wireless transmission module. Users can remotely and directly observe whether there is mold, cracking, or color changes on the cigar surface through the camera images, without the need for frequent opening of the cabinet for inspection.
[0005] Preferably, the upper part of the cabinet is provided with an upper guide plate, the lower part of the cabinet is provided with a lower guide plate, and the rear side of the cabinet is provided with a rear partition. An upper cavity is formed between the upper guide plate and the top surface of the cabinet, a lower cavity is formed between the lower guide plate and the bottom surface of the cabinet, and a rear cavity is formed between the rear partition and the rear side of the cabinet. The upper end of the rear cavity is connected to the upper cavity, and the lower end of the rear cavity is connected to the lower cavity. Both the upper and lower guide plates are provided with several guide holes. A humidification component and a cooling component are provided in the lower cavity. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are provided on the control module. When the detected value of the temperature sensor is greater than a preset value, the cooling component starts cooling. When the detected value of the humidity sensor is less than a preset value, the humidification component starts humidifying. The gas inside the cabinet circulates between the lower chamber, rear chamber, and upper chamber, promoting uniform temperature and humidity in all areas of the cabinet. Temperature and humidity sensors detect and adjust the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet in real time, achieving automatic and precise control of temperature and humidity, providing a stable and ideal aging environment for cigars.
[0006] Preferably, a lower partition is provided on the lower side of the lower guide plate, forming a guide cavity between the lower partition and the lower guide plate. An air duct connecting the guide cavity and the lower cavity is provided in the middle of the lower partition, and a fan is installed within the air duct. When the fan is started, the airflow in the guide cavity flows into the lower cavity. The fan-driven airflow enhances the circulation from the guide cavity through the lower cavity, the rear cavity, and the upper cavity, further improving the air circulation efficiency and temperature and humidity uniformity within the cabinet.
[0007] Preferably, the control module is equipped with a gas detection sensor. When the detected value of the gas detection sensor exceeds a preset value, the wireless transmission module sends an alarm signal to the terminal. The gas sensor can monitor abnormal gases inside the cabinet (such as the odor produced by mold), promptly alerting the user and facilitating intervention to protect the cigars.
[0008] Preferably, the bracket has a rectangular frame structure, comprising parallel support bars distributed front to back, and connecting bars fixedly connected to both ends of the support bars. Both ends of the support shaft are rotatably connected to the support bars. Connecting grooves are provided on the outer sides of the connecting bars. Connecting rails, which slidably connect to the connecting grooves, are fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the cabinet. A locking mechanism is provided at the front end of the connecting bars for locking with the connecting rails. The bracket assembly adopts a modular structure, allowing it to slide into and out of the cabinet as a whole, facilitating the placement and removal of cigars and internal cleaning. The locking mechanism ensures a secure lock and guarantees safe use.
[0009] Preferably, the shaft located in the middle is configured as the drive shaft, and the remaining shafts are configured as driven shafts that rotate synchronously with the drive shaft. A drive shaft driven by a motor is located inside the cabinet corresponding to the drive shaft. A power transmission assembly is provided between the drive shaft and the drive shaft. When the bracket assembly is connected to the cabinet along the connecting rail and locked by the locking mechanism, the drive shaft transmits torque by connecting to the inner end of the drive shaft through the power transmission assembly. The drive shaft inside the cabinet connects and disconnects power through the power transmission assembly. When the bracket assembly is installed inside the cabinet and locked by the locking assembly, power transmission is automatically achieved through the power transmission assembly. The bracket assembly is easy to install and disassemble.
[0010] Preferably, the power transmission assembly includes a bevel gear sleeve fixed to the inner end of the drive shaft and a bevel gear located at the end of the drive shaft. When the bevel gear extends into the bevel gear sleeve and meshes with it, the motor drives the drive shaft to rotate. The meshing method between the bevel gear and the bevel gear sleeve enables rapid alignment and disengagement of the drive shaft and the drive shaft in the axial and radial directions, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the bracket assembly, and providing stable and efficient transmission.
[0011] Preferably, the support shaft includes a shaft body and a bushing sleeve fitted around the shaft body and rotating synchronously with it. The bushing sleeve is made of cedar wood, and its surface has several annular grooves. Both ends of the shaft body have belt grooves, and the shaft body rotates synchronously in the same direction via belts connected within the belt grooves. The support bar has several tensioning pulleys for tensioning the belts. The shaft body provides strength and support for the support shaft, the cedar wood bushing sleeve provides a suitable contact surface for the cigars, which is beneficial for aging; the annular grooves reduce the contact area between the cigars and the bushing sleeve and enhance air circulation around the cigars, which is beneficial for aging; the belt drive structure is simple, flexible, and quiet, and can reliably achieve synchronous rotation of multiple support shafts.
[0012] Preferably, sliding seats are fixed to the lower sides of both ends of the bracket, and a grid frame is provided between the sliding seats. The grid frame is slidably connected to the sliding seats, and the bottom surface of the grid frame has several grid holes. The grid frame contains several storage compartments for storing activated carbon packets or cedar wood shavings packets. Activated carbon or cedar wood shavings can absorb odors and regulate the humidity of the microenvironment. Cedar wood can also further create a mellowing environment inside the cabinet. The pull-out grid frame facilitates the replacement of activated carbon packets or cedar wood shavings packets, and its grid hole structure does not affect the airflow circulation below, demonstrating ingenious design.
[0013] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a locking pin and a handle that is vertically fixedly connected to the rear end of the locking pin. The locking pin passes through the connecting strip and is rotatably connected to the connecting strip. Locking protrusions are provided on both sides of the front end of the locking pin. The side of the connecting strip is provided with a locking hole and a guide groove that communicates with the locking hole. When the locking protrusion enters the locking hole from the horizontal direction along the guide groove and rotates to the vertical direction, the locking protrusion locks with the locking hole. The side of the connecting strip is provided with a limiting pin. The locking pin is provided with a torsion spring that drives the locking protrusion to be in a vertical state. When the handle is pushed outward to a horizontal state and is limited by the limiting pin, the locking protrusion is in a horizontal state and can slide along the guide groove. When the bracket assembly needs to be disassembled or assembled, move the handle to the horizontal position. At this time, the locking protrusion is also in a horizontal position and can slide along the guide groove. After the bracket assembly is installed in place, the locking protrusion is exactly in the locking hole. When the handle is released, under the action of the torsion spring, the handle drives the locking protrusion to rotate to a vertical position, locking the locking protrusion with the locking hole and preventing it from coming out of the guide groove. Quick locking and unlocking can be achieved through simple rotation and tossing operations. The torsion spring provides self-resetting force to ensure stable locking, and the limit pin facilitates rotational limitation during unlocking. The structure is ingenious, and the operation is convenient and reliable.
[0014] Therefore, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The automatic and periodic flipping of cigars is realized through the synchronously rotating support shaft, which replaces the tedious manual operation and ensures the uniformity and consistency of cigar aging; (2) The combination of camera and control module and wireless transmission module realizes remote, real-time and non-invasive visual monitoring of the cigar status in the cabinet, which greatly improves the convenience of use and the accuracy of maintenance; (3) Through the optimized air duct design, the closed-loop control of temperature sensor and cooling component, humidity sensor and humidification component, a stable and uniform temperature and humidity environment in the cabinet is maintained, which is conducive to the stable aging of cigars; (4) The bracket component adopts a modular pull-out design, combined with a convenient locking mechanism and power transmission component, which greatly facilitates the storage and retrieval of cigars, internal cleaning and equipment maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions and the beneficial technical effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and several exemplary embodiments.
[0031] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention; the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor should they be construed as implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Features specified with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly indicate that at least one of those features is included.
[0032] like Figures 1-6 The cigar cabinet structure shown includes a cabinet body 1 and a cabinet door 2 that rotates and opens with the cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 is provided with several layers of pull-out bracket assemblies 3. The number of bracket assemblies 3 is set according to the actual size of the cabinet body. In this embodiment, five layers of bracket assemblies are provided.
[0033] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket assembly 3 includes a bracket 31 and several support shafts 32 that are parallel to each other and can rotate synchronously within the bracket 31. The cigars 7 are mounted in parallel between two adjacent support shafts 32.
[0034] Inside the cabinet 1, a camera 4 is installed on the upper side of each shelf assembly 3 to take overhead photos of the cigars on the shelf below (e.g., surface color, whether they are cracked, or whether they are moldy). The cabinet 1 also houses a control module 5, with the cameras 4 electrically connected to it. The control module 5 integrates a wireless transmission module, such as a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module, to wirelessly transmit the images or video signals captured by the cameras 4 to the user's mobile phone, tablet, or other terminal device. Users can remotely view the visual condition of each layer of cigars in the cabinet in real time without opening the cabinet, avoiding environmental disturbance. Simultaneously, all support shafts 32 can be driven to rotate synchronously, causing the cigars on them to rotate slowly, achieving automatic and uniform aging, replacing inefficient and inaccurate manual operation. During rotation, the cameras can observe the condition of the cigars from all angles, thus better monitoring their quality.
[0035] like Figures 4-6As shown, the upper part of the cabinet 1 has an upper guide plate 11, the lower part has a lower guide plate 12, and the rear side has a rear partition 13. The upper guide plate 11 and the top surface of the cabinet 1 form an upper cavity 112, the lower guide plate 12 and the bottom surface of the cabinet 1 form a lower cavity 121, and the rear partition 13 and the rear side of the cabinet 1 form a rear cavity 131. The upper end of the rear cavity 131 communicates with the upper cavity 112, and the lower end of the rear cavity 131 communicates with the lower cavity 121. Both the upper guide plate 11 and the lower guide plate 12 have several guide holes 111. A humidification component 15 and a cooling component 16 are installed inside the lower cavity 121. Below the lower guide plate 12, a lower partition plate 14 is also provided, forming an annular guide cavity 142 between the lower partition plate 14 and the lower guide plate 12. An air duct connecting the guide cavity and the lower cavity 121 is opened in the middle of the lower partition plate 14. A fan 141 is installed in the air duct. When the fan 141 is started, it forcibly draws in the airflow from the guide cavity and pumps it into the lower cavity 121. In some embodiments, the surface of the upper guide plate 11 is provided with a dustproof cloth 113, which can effectively filter out particulate matter in the gas during gas circulation, ensuring an excellent cigar aging environment.
[0036] The control module 5 is equipped with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor to detect the environmental parameters of the storage area inside the cabinet. When the temperature sensor detects a value higher than the preset temperature (e.g., 20°C), the control module 5 activates the cooling component 16 to cool down the cigars. When the humidity sensor detects a value lower than the preset humidity (e.g., 70%RH), the humidification component 15 is activated to humidify the cigars. Driven by a fan, the airflow moves upward from the lower cavity 121 through the rear cavity 131, then through the upper cavity 112 and is evenly delivered into the storage area through the guide hole 111. The airflow then flows back to the lower cavity 121 through the guide hole 111, forming a cycle. This ensures efficient temperature and humidity regulation and a high degree of environmental uniformity at all points within the cabinet, providing an extremely stable aging foundation for the cigars.
[0037] In some embodiments, a dustproof film 112 is provided on the upper side of the upper baffle 11. Air can pass through the dustproof film, but dust cannot pass through the dustproof film, thereby reducing the amount of dust entering the cabinet and adsorbing on the surface of the cigar.
[0038] In some embodiments, the control module 5 may also integrate a gas detection sensor, which may be a metal oxide semiconductor sensor or an electrochemical sensor, to detect the concentration of dimethyl disulfide (a characteristic gas of mold) inside the cabinet. When cigars become moldy, the concentration of dimethyl disulfide will increase. When the concentration of dimethyl disulfide gas in the cabinet exceeds a preset threshold, the wireless transmission module will push an alarm message to the user terminal, thereby enabling early warning of cigar mold problems.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the bracket 31 has a rectangular frame structure. The bracket 31 includes two parallel support bars 311 and a connecting bar 312 fixedly connected to both ends of the support bars 311. The two ends of the support shaft 32 are rotatably connected to the support bars 311 via bearings or other structures. A connecting groove is provided on the outer side of the connecting bar 312 (the side closest to the side wall of the cabinet 1). Connecting rails 17, which slide and engage with the connecting groove, are fixed to the inner walls of both sides of the cabinet 1. A locking mechanism 6 is installed at the front end of the connecting bar 312 to lock it to the connecting rail 17 after the bracket assembly 3 is pushed into place. The bracket assembly 3 can be easily pulled out or pushed in along the connecting rail 17 like a drawer, greatly facilitating the placement, inspection, and cleaning of cigars. The locking mechanism 6 ensures reliable locking, preventing the bracket assembly 3 from accidentally sliding out when the cabinet door 2 is closed or the support shaft 32 rotates, thus ensuring safety.
[0040] like Figures 11-14 As shown, the locking mechanism 6 includes a locking pin 61 and a handle 611 vertically fixedly connected to the rear end of the locking pin 61. The locking pin 61 passes through the connecting strip 312 and is rotatably connected to the connecting strip 312. Locking protrusions 612 are provided on both sides of the front end of the locking pin 61. The side of the connecting rail 17 is provided with a locking hole 171 and a guide groove 172 communicating with the locking hole 171. When the locking protrusion 612 enters the locking hole 171 from the horizontal direction along the guide groove 172 and rotates to the vertical direction, the locking protrusion 612 locks with the locking hole 171. The side of the connecting strip 312 is provided with a limiting pin 614. The locking pin 61 is provided with a torsion spring 613 that drives the locking protrusion 612 to be in a vertical state. When the handle 611 is pushed outward to a horizontal state and is limited by the limiting pin 614, the locking protrusion 612 is in a horizontal state and can slide along the guide groove 172. When bracket assembly 3 needs to be installed, first move handle 611 outward to a horizontal position (e.g., Figure 13 and Figure 14 (As shown in the diagram), at this point, the locking protrusion 612 rotates to a horizontal position. Then, align the horizontal locking protrusion 612 with the guide groove 172 and push the entire bracket assembly 3 in until the locking protrusion 612 reaches the locking hole 171. Release the handle 611, and under the action of the torsion spring 613, the handle drives the locking pin 61 to rotate automatically to... Figure 11 and Figure 12 The state shown allows the locking protrusion 612 to return to a vertical position and lock into the locking hole 171, thus completing the locking.
[0041] like Figures 7-10As shown, the support shaft 32 located in the middle is configured as the drive shaft 331, and the other support shafts 32 are configured as driven shafts 332 that rotate synchronously through the drive shaft 331. Inside the cabinet 1, corresponding to the drive shaft 331, there is a drive shaft 18 driven by a motor 181. A power transmission assembly 182 is provided between the drive shaft 18 and the drive shaft 331. When the bracket assembly 3 is connected to the cabinet 1 along the connecting rail 17 and locked by the locking mechanism 6, the drive shaft 18 transmits torque by connecting to the inner end of the drive shaft 331 through the power transmission assembly 182. Fixing the motor 181 to the cabinet 1, rather than to each movable bracket assembly 3, simplifies the structure of the bracket assembly 3, reduces weight and circuit complexity. Power is only activated when the bracket assembly 3 is installed in place; this "plug-and-play" design is safe and ingenious.
[0042] The power transmission assembly 182 includes a bevel sleeve 1821 fixed to the inner end of the drive shaft 331 and a bevel gear 1822 located at the end of the drive shaft 18. When the bracket assembly 3 is pushed into place, the bevel gear 1822 extends into and meshes with the bevel sleeve 1821. After meshing, the rotational power of the motor 181 can be efficiently transmitted to the drive shaft 331, ensuring stable and reliable transmission. In some embodiments, the motor 181 can be a stepper motor or a low-speed synchronous motor, controlled by the control module 5 according to a preset cycle and angle, for example, rotating the cigar 180 degrees every seven days via the motor.
[0043] The support shaft 32 includes a shaft body 33 and a bushing 321 that is sleeved on the outside of the shaft body 33 and rotates synchronously with the shaft body 33. The bushing 321 is made of cedar wood, and its surface has several annular grooves 322. Both ends of the shaft body 33 have belt grooves 333. The belt grooves 333 of the shaft body 33 are connected by a belt 334 to achieve synchronous and unidirectional rotation. The support bar 311 is provided with several tensioning pulleys 335 for tensioning the belt 334. The shaft body 33 can be made of aluminum alloy, which provides stable support strength and is lightweight. The belt grooves 333 at the ends of all shaft bodies 33 are connected in series by an annular belt 334, thereby achieving synchronous and unidirectional rotation from the drive shaft 331 to all driven shafts 332. The tensioning pulleys 335 tension the belt 334 to ensure stable power transmission and prevent slippage. The cedar wood bushing 321 provides a traditional and ideal contact material for the cigar, which is conducive to the aging of flavor; the annular groove 322 reduces the contact area with the cigar, thereby promoting the microcirculation of air around the cigar.
[0044] like Figure 9As shown, sliding seats 34 are fixed to the lower sides of both ends of the bracket 31. A grid frame 35 is provided between the two sliding seats 34. The grid frame 35 is slidably connected to the sliding seats 34. The bottom surface of the grid frame 35 has several grid holes 351, and its interior is divided into multiple storage compartments 352, which can be used to store activated carbon bags or cedar wood shavings bags. The pull-out grid frame 35 makes it convenient for users to regularly replace maintenance materials. Activated carbon can absorb any odors that may exist in the cabinet, while cedar wood shavings can emit a natural fragrance and help regulate the humidity of the microenvironment. The grid holes 351 at the bottom ensure that airflow can pass smoothly without affecting the circulation effect of the main air duct, while allowing the effect of the maintenance materials to be evenly diffused.
[0045] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the working principle of this invention is as follows: The user places the cigar 7 on the support shaft 32 of the bracket assembly 3, aligns the connecting groove with the connecting rail, pushes it into the cabinet, and locks it in place using the locking mechanism 6. The control module 5 monitors the environment through temperature and humidity sensors and automatically controls the humidification assembly 15 and the cooling assembly 16 to operate. Combined with the three-dimensional circulating air duct driven by the fan 141, a stable environment with constant temperature and humidity is provided for the cigars. The control module 5 can periodically start the motor 181 according to a set program, driving the drive shaft 331 through the power transmission assembly 182, and then driving all the support shafts 32 to rotate synchronously and slowly through the belt 334, realizing the automatic rotation of the cigars and ensuring uniform aging; for example, it can be set to rotate once a week or once a month, rotating 180 degrees each time. The camera 4 located above each layer continuously or periodically captures the status of the cigars, and the images are sent to the user's mobile app via a wireless network, allowing the user to view them remotely at any time without opening the cabinet. If the gas sensor detects an abnormality, it will also send an alarm to remind the user that the cigars may be moldy and require early intervention and maintenance.
