Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigar box technology, and in particular to a cigar box that facilitates the rinsing and conditioning of cigars. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the demand for cigar warmers in overseas markets is very small, while the domestic market is experiencing a boom in the cigar warmer market. The quality of various warmer boxes varies greatly, posing challenges to the warming process. Cigars stored in humidors for extended periods often fail to meet the temperature and humidity requirements of domestic consumers when removed from the humidor. Furthermore, domestic consumers have diverse temperature and humidity preferences for warming cigars, creating an urgent need for a product that can satisfy users with different tastes and warming preferences under various temperature and humidity conditions, allowing cigars to reach their ideal state and providing the best taste and aroma.
[0003] A cigar warmer box with announcement number CN213486864U is designed to quickly warm up cigars, enhance their aroma, and appropriately reduce their moisture content. This helps prevent cigars from becoming soft, difficult to smoke due to excessive moisture, causing a feeling of blockage, and producing black ash, thus maximizing the advantages of cigars and providing a better smoking experience. However, in practical use, similar structures still have many shortcomings. For example, traditional cigar storage methods mostly rely on leaving cigars exposed or using simple sealed boxes, which cannot meet the requirements for humidity and temperature control.
[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a convenient cigar box for waking and nourishing cigars, which solves the problem that traditional cigar storage methods mostly rely on exposed placement or simple closed boxes, failing to meet humidity and temperature requirements.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic technical solution proposed by this invention is as follows: A convenient cigar box for waking and nourishing cigars includes a box body, a battery box, a hydrogel box, and a multi-layer wooden box. It also includes a lifting plate that is movably installed inside the box body. The multi-layer wooden box is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate. The battery box is movably inserted into the bottom of the box body. A temperature control mechanism is embedded in the inner wall of the box body. Two toothed racks are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box body. A box cover is installed on one side of the top of the box body via a hinge. Sliding grooves are opened on both sides inside the box cover. The hydrogel box is movably inserted into the inner wall of the box cover. An air inlet is provided on one side of the lifting plate, and an air outlet is provided on one side of the bottom of the lifting plate. Two cover-opening linkage rods are respectively installed on both sides of the top of the lifting plate through shaft bolts. One end of the two cover-opening linkage rods is movably connected to the box cover through a sliding groove. The multi-layered wooden box consists of a base box, two first-layer boxes, two second-layer boxes, and two sets of gears. The two first-layer boxes are placed on both sides of the top of the base box, and the two second-layer boxes are placed on top of the two first-layer boxes respectively. The two sets of gears are rotatably mounted on both sides of the base box. The two sets of gears are connected to the shafts of the two first-layer boxes respectively through drive shafts, and the two sets of gears are meshed with two racks respectively. Driven shafts are installed on both sides of the two first-layer boxes through bolts. One end of the two sets of driven shafts is connected to the shafts on both sides of one of the second-layer boxes through bolts, and the other end of the two sets of driven shafts is connected to the shafts on both sides of the base box through bolts.
[0007] Preferably, the temperature control mechanism consists of a heat spreader, several TEC sheets, heat dissipation fins, heat pipes, and thermocouples. The inner side of the heat spreader is attached to one end of several TEC sheets, and the several TEC sheets are arranged in a rectangular array. The other end of the heat dissipation fin corresponding to each TEC sheet is connected to a fan. The other end of each TEC sheet is attached to one side of a single heat dissipation fin, and a heat pipe is inserted between the heat dissipation fins.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom box, the two first-layer boxes, and the two second-layer boxes all have U-shaped grooves inside.
[0009] Preferably, the cover-opening linkage rod consists of a traction shaft and a slider shaft. One end of the traction shaft is movably connected to one side of the top of the lifting plate via a bolt, and the other end of the traction shaft is movably connected to one end of the slider shaft via a bolt. The slider end of the slider shaft extends into the groove and is movably connected.
[0010] Preferably, a filter inlet / outlet box is embedded in the side wall of the housing, and a charging cable is embedded in the side wall of the housing near the filter inlet / outlet box; a touch screen is embedded in the top of the housing cover, and a sealing ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing.
[0011] Preferably, a control circuit board is fixedly installed on the back wall inside the housing. The control circuit board is electrically connected to the charging cable via wires, and an electrode socket is fixedly installed on the front of the control circuit board.
[0012] Preferably, an electrode plug is fixedly installed on the back of the battery box, and the electrode plug corresponds to the electrode socket on the front of the control circuit board.
[0013] Preferably, a water inlet is threaded onto one side of the hydrogel box.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The technical solution of this invention provides a cigar box that combines the functions of cigar preservation and cigar awakening. Through a temperature control mechanism and a fan, it can preserve cigars for a long time and awaken them for a short time, so that the cigars are preserved in a constant temperature and humidity environment, avoiding uneven temperature of the cigars. It can realize the dual functions of cigar preservation anytime and anywhere and cigar awakening. In addition, the hydrogel in the hydrogel box changes the humidity in the environment by diffusing water molecules, which prevents the wrapper from drying out, cracking and peeling, thus improving the storage quality of cigars. When the lid is opened manually, it flips around the hinge. During this process, the slider of the lid-opening linkage moves along a slide. When the lid continues to flip and reaches the end of the slide, the lid-opening linkage is pulled further, causing the lifting plate to move upward. This upward movement of the lifting plate causes the top multi-layered wooden box to move upward and extend into the box. The upward-moving multi-layered wooden box is automatically opened by two meshing racks, realizing the linkage opening and closing of the multi-layered wooden box and the lid. By automatically opening, the horizontally unfolded multi-layered wooden box makes it easier to take out cigars and fully display their storage condition, avoiding inconvenience in taking out cigars and the inability to fully display their storage condition, thus improving the convenience of use and the display effect.

[0017] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have been clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] A convenient cigar box for waking and nourishing cigars includes a box body 1, a battery box 2, a hydrogel box 3, and a multi-layer wooden box 4. It also includes a lifting plate 8 that is movably installed inside the box body 1. The multi-layer wooden box 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting plate 8, and the battery box 2 is movably inserted into the bottom of the box body 1. A temperature control mechanism 5 is embedded in the inner wall of the box body 1. The temperature control mechanism 5 consists of a heat spreader 501, several TEC sheets 502, heat dissipation fins 503, heat pipes 504, and thermocouples 505. The inner side of the heat spreader 501 is attached to one end of several TEC sheets 502, and the several TEC sheets 502 are arranged in a rectangular array. The other end of the heat dissipation fins 503 corresponding to each TEC sheet 502 is connected to a fan 6. The other end of each TEC sheet 502 is attached to one side of a single heat dissipation fin 503. Heat pipes 504 are inserted in the middle of the heat dissipation fins 503. Thermocouple 505 is fixedly installed on one side of heat spreader 501. The temperature measuring point of thermocouple 505 is connected to several TEC sheets 502. The actual current of each TEC is adjusted to make the cold junction temperature of each TEC consistent. When the temperature inside the chamber 1 is lower than the set temperature, the TEC sheets 502 heat up based on the signal detected by thermocouple 505. When the temperature inside the chamber 1 is higher than the set temperature, the TEC sheets 502 cool down based on the signal detected by thermocouple 505. The cooling of the TEC sheets 502 lowers the temperature of heat spreader 501, and heat spreader 501 acts as a cold source to lower the temperature inside the chamber 1. The fan 6 is powered on to generate airflow to dissipate heat from the heat sink fins 503. The temperature control mechanism 5 and fan 6 allow for long-term storage and maintenance of cigars, as well as short-term awakening of cigars. This ensures that cigars are maintained in a constant temperature environment, enabling them to be maintained anytime and anywhere, and to awaken them. Furthermore, the hydrogel box 3 controls humidity to prevent the wrapper from drying out, cracking, and peeling, thus maintaining the cigars in a constant humidity environment and improving their storage quality. Two racks 105 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the box body 1. A box cover 101 is installed on one side of the top of the box body 1 via a hinge. Sliding grooves 1011 are opened on both sides inside the box cover 101. The hydrogel box 3 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the box cover 101. Among them, the box body 1 and the box lid 101 are both composed of a cedar wood inner cavity, a heat dissipation plate 501 and an outer packaging. The cedar wood inner cavity provides aroma enhancement for the cigars, and the touch screen 102 is on the outermost outer packaging. An air inlet 801 is provided on one side of the lifting plate 8, and an air outlet 802 is provided on one side of the bottom of the lifting plate 8. Two cover-opening linkage rods 803 are respectively installed on both sides of the top of the lifting plate 8 through shaft bolts. One end of the two cover-opening linkage rods 803 is movably connected to the box cover 101 through the slide groove 1011. The cedar wood interior of the housing 1 has an air duct. One end of the air duct is connected to the interior of the embedded temperature control mechanism 5, and the other end is dynamically connected to the air inlet 801 on one side of the lifting plate 8. The interior of the embedded temperature control mechanism 5 is connected to the filter air inlet / outlet box 103, so that the fan 6 can filter the outside air and deliver it to the interior of the embedded temperature control mechanism 5. Specifically, the fan 6 generates suction when it is powered on, filters the outside air through the filter air inlet / outlet box 103, and delivers it to the heat dissipation fins 503 to dissipate heat. The generated hot air is delivered to the air inlet 801 through the air duct, and the hot air is discharged to the bottom of the housing 1 through the air outlet 802 in the lifting plate 8. The discharged hot air is discharged from the housing 1 through the filter air inlet / outlet box 103, realizing air cooling and ensuring that there is no air flow in the interior of the housing 1 where the multi-layer wooden boxes 4 are placed. The multi-layer wooden box 4 consists of a base box 401, two first-layer boxes 402, two second-layer boxes 403, and two sets of gears 404. The two first-layer boxes 402 are placed on both sides of the top of the base box 401, and the two second-layer boxes 403 are placed on top of the two first-layer boxes 402 respectively. The two sets of gears 404 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the base box 401. The two sets of gears 404 are connected to the shafts of the two first-layer boxes 402 respectively through drive shafts 405, and the two sets of gears 404 are meshed with two racks 105 respectively. Driven shafts 406 are installed on both sides of the two first-layer boxes 402 through shaft bolts. One end of the two sets of driven shafts 406 is connected to the shafts on both sides of one of the second-layer boxes 403 through shaft bolts, and the other end of the two sets of driven shafts 406 is connected to the shafts on both sides of the base box 401 through shaft bolts. It should be noted that by opening the box lid 101, the box lid 101 is flipped around the hinge. The flipped box lid 101 moves the slider end of the opening linkage rod 803 within the slide groove 1011. When one end of the opening linkage rod 803 moves to the end of the slide groove 1011, the flipped box lid 101 continues to unfold through the slide groove 1011, pulling the opening linkage rod 803 to open. The unfolded opening linkage rod 803 pulls the lifting plate 8 to move upward. The moving lifting plate 8 drives the top multi-layer wooden box 4 to move upward. The moving multi-layer wooden box 4 is driven by two meshing racks 105, which drive the multi-layer wooden box 4 to move upward and unfold automatically, making it convenient to display the cigars inside the multi-layer wooden box 4 and to easily take out the cigars inside the multi-layer wooden box 4. The multi-layer wooden box 4 unfolds automatically. Specifically, when the two sets of gears 404 in the upward-moving multi-layer wooden box 4 are respectively engaged with the two racks 105, the two sets of gears 404 that continue to move upward rotate through the engaged racks 105. The rotating two sets of gears 404 drive the two first-layer boxes 402 to move away from each other through the drive shaft 405. The two relatively distant first-layer boxes 402 drive the two second-layer boxes 403 to move away from each other through the two sets of driven shafts 406, thus achieving the purpose of opening the two first-layer boxes 402 and the two second-layer boxes 403 synchronously. The two sets of gears 404 can ensure that the two first-layer boxes 402 and the two second-layer boxes 403 always maintain synchronous movement during the opening and closing process, improving the stability and reliability of operation and making it easier to retrieve the cigars stored in the bottom box 401.
[0019] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom box 401, the two first-layer boxes 402 and the two second-layer boxes 403 all have U-shaped grooves inside; It should be noted that the bottom box 401, the two first-layer boxes 402 and the two second-layer boxes 403 are made of cedar wood, which provides aroma enhancement to the cigars, and the U-shaped grooves can fix the position of the cigars, preventing them from rolling during storage, making them convenient to handle and carry.
[0020] like Figure 6 As shown, the cover opening linkage rod 803 consists of a traction shaft rod 8031 and a slider shaft rod 8032. One end of the traction shaft rod 8031 is movably connected to one side of the top of the lifting plate 8 through a shaft bolt, and the other end of the traction shaft rod 8031 is movably connected to one end of the slider shaft rod 8032 through a shaft bolt. The slider end of the slider shaft rod 8032 extends into the slide groove 1011 for movable connection. It should be noted that when the box cover 101 flips, the box cover 101 causes the slider end of the slider shaft 8032 to move in the slide groove 1011 through the slide groove 1011. When the slider end of the slider shaft 8032 moves to the end of the slide groove 1011, the box cover 101, through the connection between the slide groove 1011 and the slider end, pulls the slider shaft 8032 to move with the box cover 101. The moving slider shaft 8032 drives the lifting plate 8 to move upward through the traction shaft 8031, realizing the synchronous flipping of the box cover 101 and the lifting of the lifting plate 8.
[0021] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a filter inlet / outlet box 103 is embedded in the side wall of the housing 1, and a charging cable 104 is embedded in the side wall of the housing 1 near the filter inlet / outlet box 103; a touch screen 102 is embedded in the top of the housing cover 101, and a sealing ring 1012 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1. It should be noted that the touch screen 102 displays the temperature and humidity of the cabinet 1, as well as the battery level of the battery box 2. The touch screen 102 is designed to control the temperature display, so that the touch screen 102 can control the temperature inside the cabinet 1. The touch screen 102 sets the storage, curing temperature, curing time and timed curing. The thermocouple 505 detects the temperature and humidity signals in real time and transmits them to the control board of the touch screen 102. The control board then adjusts according to the temperature and humidity to control the temperature of the hot and cold ends of each TEC piece to be uniform, so as to achieve temperature uniformity of the multi-layer wooden box 4. The sealing ring 1012 increases the sealing between the lid 101 and the box body 1, preventing moisture and air from the external environment from entering the box body 1; The charging cable 104 is electrically connected to the charging module on the front of the control circuit board 7 via a wire. The input voltage of the charging cable 104 is regulated by the charging module. The charging cable 104 is connected to an external power source and transmits current to the battery box 2 through the charging module on the front of the control circuit board 7, which can meet the charging power needs of the battery box 2.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a control circuit board 7 is fixedly installed on the back wall inside the housing 1. The control circuit board 7 is electrically connected to the charging cable 104 through wires, and an electrode socket is fixedly installed on the front of the control circuit board 7. An electrode plug is fixedly installed on the back of the battery box 2, and the electrode plug corresponds to the electrode socket on the front of the control circuit board 7. It should be noted that the control circuit board 7 controls the output circuit of the battery box 2 to supply power to the temperature control mechanism 5 and the fan 6, which can meet the power supply requirements for lithium battery storage, access, charging and power supply. The electrode socket on the front of the control circuit board 7 is connected to the electrode plug on the back of the battery box 2, so that the control circuit board 7 and the battery box 2 are electrically connected, which makes it easy for the battery box 2 to be powered by the control circuit board 7. The control circuit board 7 can control the output circuit of the battery box 2 to ensure the power supply safety of the temperature control mechanism 5 and the fan 6.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a water inlet is threaded onto one side of the hydrogel box 3; It should be noted that a water tank is installed on the outside of the box 1. The water tank is connected to the internal hydrogel box 3 through a water pipe, so that after the hydrogel absorbs water, it releases the moisture into the box 1 through an adjustable window. The hydrogel changes the humidity by diffusing water molecules into the environment. Compared with the traditional water spraying method, the humidity is more uniform and the traditional water droplet form is changed into water molecule form, resulting in more uniform humidity. In addition, the hydrogel can be selected according to the user's needs, with or without ammonia removal. The maximum water content of the hydrogel can be selected in each system from 50% to 90%.
[0024] Based on the explanations and teachings of the foregoing specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and alterations to the present invention should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on the present invention.
