Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application pertains to the field of temperature and humidity control for cigar cabinets, and particularly relates to a method, system, medium, and product for controlling a cigar cabinet with constant temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, cigars are becoming increasingly popular as a high-end leisure consumer product. Cigars have extremely strict requirements for storage conditions, needing to be stored under constant temperature and humidity; otherwise, they are prone to cracking, mold, and other quality deterioration problems. Therefore, high-quality cigar storage equipment is of great importance in maintaining the quality of cigars.

[0003] Existing cigar cabinets typically use a combination of refrigeration compressors for cooling and electric heating wires for heating to regulate temperature, and ultrasonic or evaporative humidifiers for humidity control. This method of temperature and humidity regulation requires frequent starting and stopping of the compressor and heating device, resulting in high energy consumption and significant fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

[0004] However, this control method suffers from problems such as low adjustment precision, high energy consumption, and high noise. Furthermore, the imprecise control can easily cause fluctuations in temperature and humidity, affecting the quality of stored cigars. In addition, frequent compressor starts and stops also reduce the equipment's lifespan; these issues require further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a method, system, medium, and product for controlling a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet, addressing the technical problems of low temperature and humidity control accuracy, high energy consumption, and high noise in existing cigar cabinets. This method uses a semiconductor refrigeration chip to replace the traditional compressor, combined with zoned heating and intelligent control strategies, to achieve precise regulation of the cigar storage environment.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for controlling a cigar cabinet with constant temperature and humidity, applied to a cigar cabinet, wherein the cigar cabinet includes a cabinet, a semiconductor cooling chip, a heating wire, a humidification device, a cooling fan, a heat dissipation fan, and a blower; the method includes: Real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity data inside the cigar cabinet; Based on the temperature data and the preset temperature value, the semiconductor refrigeration chip is controlled to output cooling power, or the heating wire is controlled to output heating power. Wherein, when the temperature data is greater than the preset temperature value, the semiconductor refrigeration chip outputs maximum power when the temperature difference between the temperature data and the preset temperature value is greater than a preset first threshold. When the temperature difference is between the first threshold and a preset second threshold, the power output is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature difference change trend. When the temperature difference is less than the second threshold, the minimum power is output. The preset temperature value is set according to the optimal temperature range for current cigar storage. Based on the humidity data and the preset humidity value, the humidification device is controlled to humidify, or the semiconductor cooling chip is controlled to dehumidify; The cooling fan, the heat dissipation fan, the humidification device, and the blower are controlled to operate continuously to maintain uniform temperature and humidity.

[0007] In the above implementation, temperature regulation is divided into three stages—maximum power, dynamic regulation, and minimum power—by setting different temperature difference thresholds, achieving precise temperature control and rapid response. The use of a semiconductor refrigeration chip to replace the traditional compressor avoids energy waste and noise pollution caused by frequent start-stop cycles, extending the equipment's service life. The combined coordinated control of the humidification device and the semiconductor refrigeration chip, along with the continuous operation of multiple fans, expands the humidity regulation range and ensures uniform temperature and humidity distribution within the chamber. In some embodiments, in conjunction with the first aspect, the semiconductor cooling chip is disposed on one side of the cigar cabinet, and the heating wire includes pre-embedded heating wires disposed on both sides of the inner box and a bottom heating wire, and the heating wire is disposed within the foam layer.

[0008] In the above embodiment, the semiconductor cooling chip achieves unidirectional cooling by being set on one side of the cigar cabinet, while the pre-embedded heating wires on both sides can form a uniform temperature field distribution, and the bottom heating wire is mainly used to accelerate the evaporation of moisture absorbed by the humidifying cotton; at the same time, setting the heating wire inside the foam layer not only improves the heating efficiency, but also avoids the safety hazards that may be caused by the direct exposure of the heating wire. In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the humidification device includes a built-in water receiving box, humidifying cotton, and a humidifying fan. One end of the humidifying cotton is immersed in the water in the built-in water receiving box to absorb moisture, and the other end extends to the humidification area. The moisture absorbed by the humidifying cotton is accelerated to evaporate by heating the bottom heating wire, and the moisture is circulated into the box by the humidifying fan.

[0009] In the above embodiments, by adopting a structural design in which one end of the humidifying cotton is immersed in water and the other end extends to the humidification area, combined with heating from the bottom heating wire and air delivery from the humidifying fan, continuous absorption and efficient evaporation of moisture are achieved, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of humidification. Compared with traditional ultrasonic humidification, it can avoid direct contact between atomized particles and cigars, which is more conducive to the long-term storage of cigars. In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the cigar cabinet further includes a water guide channel, a drain pipe, and an external water box. The water guide channel is used to collect condensate generated during the humidification process and guide it to the internal water box. The drain pipe is connected to the internal water box to drain excess water to the external water box.

[0010] In the above embodiment, a water guide trough is set up to collect condensate and return it to the built-in water receiving box. At the same time, a drain pipe and an external water box are used to treat excess water, forming a complete water circulation system. This not only avoids the waste of condensate but also prevents water overflow from damaging the cigars, and realizes the automatic circulation and water level regulation of the humidification system. In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the humidification device is controlled to humidify or the semiconductor cooling chip is controlled to dehumidify based on the humidity data and a preset humidity value, specifically including: When the humidity data is less than the preset humidity value, the humidifier is turned on to humidify; when the humidity difference between the humidity data and the preset humidity value is greater than the preset third threshold, the bottom heating wire is heated and the humidifier fan speed of the humidifier is increased; when the humidity difference is less than the preset fourth threshold, the power of the bottom heating wire and the humidifier fan speed are reduced. When the humidity data is greater than the preset humidity value, the semiconductor cooling chip is controlled to dehumidify, and the speed of the cooling fan is adjusted to control the dehumidification rate.

[0011] In the above implementation, by setting a third and a fourth threshold for the humidity difference, segmented control of the humidification process is achieved: when the humidity difference is large, rapid humidification is achieved by increasing the power of the bottom heating wire and the speed of the humidifying fan; when the humidity difference is small, the power and speed are reduced to avoid humidity overshoot; at the same time, when the humidity is too high, the semiconductor cooling chip is used for dehumidification, and the dehumidification rate is controlled by adjusting the speed of the cooling fan, thus forming a complete two-way humidity regulation mechanism. In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the method further includes: The environmental stability level is determined based on the temperature and humidity data, and the optimal storage environment parameters and storage sensitivity data for different cigar categories are queried. Fluctuation analysis is performed on the environmental stability level to obtain environmental risk level data, and the probability of maintaining the quality of the cigar storage environment is determined based on the optimal storage environment parameters, the storage sensitivity data, and the environmental risk level data. Based on the quality retention probability, the influence coefficient of temperature and humidity fluctuations on cigar quality, and storage time, the risk of quality deterioration of the cigar under the current storage environment is assessed, and suggestions for optimizing the storage environment are generated. Based on the storage environment optimization suggestions, adjust the cigar storage area and placement inside the cigar cabinet, placing highly sensitive cigars in the most stable environment.

[0012] In the above implementation, intelligent management of the cigar storage environment is achieved by establishing an environmental stability assessment and quality deterioration risk prediction model; based on the storage sensitivity characteristics of different cigar categories, combined with environmental fluctuation analysis and quality maintenance probability calculation, potential storage risks can be detected in a timely manner; at the same time, by generating optimization suggestions and adjusting storage locations, a differentiated storage strategy is established, which effectively prevents the problem of cigar quality deterioration. In conjunction with some embodiments of the first aspect, in some embodiments, the interior of the cigar cabinet is divided into multiple storage areas, each storage area is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor, and the pre-embedded heating wire includes multiple independently controlled heating units, with at least one set of heating units corresponding to each storage area; the method further includes: Collect temperature and humidity data from each storage area to obtain the temperature and humidity distribution gradient; Based on the temperature and humidity distribution gradient, the speed and air outlet angle of the blower are adjusted, and the speed ratio of the cooling fan and the heat dissipation fan is controlled. When the temperature and humidity difference between the various storage areas exceeds the preset range, the power output of each heating unit is adjusted to achieve zoned temperature compensation. When the humidification device is working, the airflow direction and speed of the humidification fan are adjusted according to the humidity differences in each area.

[0013] In the above implementation, by setting independent temperature and humidity sensors and heating units in each storage area, the system achieves precise monitoring and control of the zoned environmental parameters. Based on the temperature and humidity distribution gradient data, the system can dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the blower, cooling fan and radiator fan, and accurately compensate for the temperature and humidity differences in the area. Combined with the adjustable humidifying fan air delivery mode, a complete multi-zone collaborative control mechanism is formed to ensure the balance of the internal environment of the cigar cabinet. Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet control system, comprising: one or more processors and a memory; the memory is coupled to one or more processors, the memory is used to store computer program code, the computer program code includes computer instructions, and one or more processors call the computer instructions to cause the system to perform the method described in the first aspect and any possible implementation thereof.

[0022] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. In the field of high-end consumer goods storage equipment, cigar cabinets, as a type of professional storage equipment, have extremely high requirements for the precision and stability of temperature and humidity control.

[0023] In related technologies, traditional cigar cabinets mainly use a combination of refrigeration compressors and electric heating wires to regulate temperature, and control humidity through ultrasonic or evaporative humidifiers. This method not only has the problems of high energy consumption and significant noise, but also causes large fluctuations in temperature and humidity due to the frequent start-stop of the compressor, making it difficult to meet the strict requirements of high-quality cigars for storage environment.

[0024] This application is primarily applied to professional cigar storage scenarios, particularly for the storage needs of high-end cigar clubs, cigar retailers, and individual collectors. In these scenarios, the storage environment of cigars directly affects their quality preservation and value maintenance. To address the aforementioned technical issues, this application provides a method, system, medium, and product for controlling a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet. An embodiment is described below in conjunction with... Figures 1-3 The following describes a method for controlling a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet according to an embodiment of this application: Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet in an embodiment of this application.

[0025] S101. Real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity data inside the cigar cabinet.

[0026] Among them, cigar cabinets, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cigar cabinet includes a cabinet 1, a semiconductor cooling chip 2, a heating wire 3, a humidifier 4, a cooling fan 5, a heat dissipation fan 6, and a blower 7. The heating wire 3 includes pre-embedded heating wires 31 on both sides of the inner cabinet and a bottom heating wire 32, both placed within a foam layer. The semiconductor cooling chip 2 and its matching cooling fan 5 and heat dissipation fan 6 are located on one side of the cabinet 1. Both the cooling fan 5 and heat dissipation fan 6 are equipped with heat-dissipating aluminum 8 for heat conduction. The humidification system consists of a built-in water collection box 41 at the bottom, humidifying cotton 42, and a humidifying fan 43. One end of the humidifying cotton 42 is immersed in the built-in water collection box 41 to absorb moisture, and the other end extends to the humidification area. The bottom heating wire 32 heats the water to evaporate it, and the humidifying fan 43 delivers the moisture into the cabinet. The water circulation system includes a water guide trough 9, a drain pipe 10, and an external water box 11. The water guide trough 9 collects condensate from inside the chamber and guides it to the internal water collection box 41 for recycling. Excess water is drained to the external water box 11 through the drain pipe 10. With the continuous operation of the blower 7, in conjunction with the cooling fan 6 and the humidifying fan 43, a complete circulation path for cold and humidity is formed, achieving uniform regulation of temperature and humidity inside the chamber.

[0027] S102. Based on the temperature data and preset temperature value, control the output cooling power of the semiconductor refrigeration chip, or control the output heating power of the heating wire.

[0028] Specifically, when the temperature data is greater than the preset temperature value, and the temperature difference between the temperature data and the preset temperature value is greater than the preset first threshold, the semiconductor cooling chip 2 outputs maximum power. When the temperature difference is between the first threshold and the preset second threshold, the power output is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature difference change trend. When the temperature difference is less than the second threshold, the minimum power is output. The preset temperature value is set according to the current optimal temperature range for cigar storage.

[0029] Specifically, when the temperature exceeds the preset temperature value by 1-2℃ (first threshold), the semiconductor cooling chip 2 outputs maximum power for cooling. When the temperature difference gradually decreases and falls between 1-2℃ and 0.5℃ (second threshold), the system dynamically adjusts the power output according to the temperature difference trend, gradually reducing the semiconductor chip power by decreasing the output voltage. When the temperature difference is less than 0.5℃, it maintains minimum power operation to keep the temperature balanced. When the temperature is 1-2℃ below the preset temperature value, heating control is activated: the heating wires on both sides inside the chamber 1 begin to heat up. As the temperature gradually approaches the set temperature, the heating power is reduced by gradually decreasing the output voltage until the set temperature is reached and temperature balance is maintained. Through this controllable power adjustment mechanism, precise control and stable maintenance of the temperature inside the chamber are achieved. The cooling fan 5, the radiating fan 6, and the blower 7 operate continuously to ensure uniform temperature distribution inside the chamber. The preset temperature value is set according to the optimal temperature range for cigar storage.

[0030] The preset temperature setting is a key parameter determined based on the optimal temperature range for cigar storage. Depending on the storage requirements of different types of cigars, temperature settings typically follow different principles. For example, for Cuban cigars, the optimal storage temperature range is between 16-18℃, and the system defaults to a preset temperature of 17℃. For Nicaraguan and Dominican cigars, the suitable temperature range is slightly higher, between 18-20℃, and the preset temperature is usually set to 19℃. For more common machine-made cigars, the storage temperature can be relatively more flexible, maintaining quality within a range of 15-21℃; in this case, the preset temperature can be set to 18℃ depending on the specific type. When multiple types of cigars are stored in the cabinet simultaneously, the system prioritizes the type with the most stringent temperature requirements, selecting its optimal storage temperature as the preset value. For example, when storing Cuban and Nicaraguan cigars together, a temperature range of 16-18℃ will be used, with the preset temperature set to 17℃ to ensure all cigars are stored in a suitable environment. The system will also adjust the preset temperature value appropriately based on seasonal changes and storage duration. In summer, the preset temperature can be slightly lowered by 0.5-1℃ to cope with larger external temperature differences; in winter, the preset temperature can be appropriately increased by 0.5-1℃ to reduce energy consumption. For cigars stored for a long time, the preset temperature should be set to the middle of the recommended range to provide a more stable storage environment.

[0031] S103. Based on the humidity data and preset humidity value, control the humidifier to humidify, or control the semiconductor cooling chip to dehumidify.

[0032] Specifically, when the humidity data is less than the preset humidity value, the humidifier 4 is turned on to humidify; when the humidity difference between the humidity data and the preset humidity value is greater than the preset third threshold, the bottom heating wire 32 is heated and the speed of the humidifying fan 43 is increased; when the humidity difference is less than the preset fourth threshold, the power of the bottom heating wire 32 and the speed of the humidifying fan 43 are reduced; when the humidity data is greater than the preset humidity value, the semiconductor cooling chip 2 is controlled to dehumidify, and the speed of the cooling fan 6 is adjusted to control the dehumidification rate.

[0033] S104. Control the cooling fan, heat dissipation fan, humidification device and blower to work continuously to maintain uniform temperature and humidity.

[0034] In one embodiment, different types of cigars have varying sensitivities to storage environments, and environmental fluctuations can lead to cigar quality degradation, requiring special handling. To address this, this application first determines the environmental stability level based on real-time collected temperature and humidity data, and then queries the optimal storage environment parameters and storage sensitivity data required for different cigar types. Next, it performs fluctuation analysis on the environmental stability level to obtain environmental risk level data. Combining the optimal storage environment parameters, storage sensitivity data, and environmental risk level data, it calculates the probability of maintaining cigar quality under the current storage environment. Based on this probability, and considering both the impact coefficient of temperature and humidity fluctuations on cigar quality and storage duration, it assesses the risk of quality degradation under the current storage environment and generates corresponding storage environment optimization suggestions. Finally, based on these suggestions, it adjusts the storage areas and placement within the cigar cabinet, prioritizing the placement of highly sensitive cigars with high environmental requirements in the most stable environment to maximize cigar quality protection.

[0035] Specifically, the environmental stability level is assessed based on the amplitude and frequency of temperature and humidity fluctuations, and is divided into three levels: stable, fluctuating, and unstable. The environmental risk level data is derived from the dynamic fluctuation analysis of environmental stability, reflecting the potential impact of environmental changes on cigar quality. The storage sensitivity data characterizes the sensitivity of different cigar categories to environmental changes, including two dimensions: temperature sensitivity and humidity sensitivity. The quality retention probability is a comprehensive indicator, calculated by the degree of matching between environmental parameters and optimal storage requirements.

[0036] Specifically, the system first collects temperature and humidity data in real time through a sensor network, records the data every 10 minutes and calculates the fluctuation range over 24 hours to establish an environmental stability assessment model. Then, based on the stability distribution in different areas, it draws a heat map of the environment stability inside the cabinet to identify the most suitable storage area. At the same time, it queries the product database to obtain the optimal storage parameters and sensitivity data for various types of cigars, and calculates the probability of quality maintenance by combining the real-time environmental data. Finally, based on the calculation results, the system automatically generates an optimized storage location plan.

[0037] In some embodiments, optionally, the cabinet can be divided into three storage areas, A / B / C, according to environmental stability, for storing cigars of extra-sensitive, sensitive, and general sensitivity, respectively; optionally, a dynamic adjustment strategy can be adopted to adjust the storage location in real time according to seasonal changes and usage frequency; optionally, a time-segmented control mechanism can be established to adjust control parameters at different times to optimize storage performance.

[0038] In practical use, various special situations may arise that require handling, such as environmental fluctuations caused by frequent door openings, mixed storage of different types of cigars, and excessively long storage times. To address these issues, some implementations record the frequency and duration of door openings to automatically adjust cooling or heating power and increase fan speed to quickly restore the environment. Simultaneously, a compatibility matrix between cigar types is established, isolation areas are set up, and placement spacing is optimized. Alternatively, a storage period warning mechanism can be established to periodically assess quality status and adjust storage parameters promptly, ensuring the stability of the storage environment and the maintenance of cigar quality.

[0039] In one embodiment, since the temperature and humidity distribution may be uneven in different areas inside the cigar cabinet, and cigars in different locations have different environmental requirements, precise zone control is needed. To address this, this application divides the interior of the cigar cabinet 1 into multiple storage areas. Each area is equipped with a temperature and humidity sensor to monitor environmental parameters in real time. Simultaneously, the pre-embedded heating wire 31 uses multiple independently controllable heating units to ensure that each storage area corresponds to at least one heating unit. The system collects temperature and humidity data from each storage area to obtain the temperature and humidity distribution gradient. Based on this gradient data, it dynamically adjusts the speed and airflow angle of the blower 7 and controls the speed ratio of the cooling fan 5 and the radiator fan 6. When the temperature and humidity difference between storage areas exceeds a preset range, the system automatically adjusts the power output of each heating unit to achieve zoned temperature compensation. During the operation of the humidification device 4, it also adjusts the airflow direction and speed of the humidification fan 43 according to the humidity differences in each area to ensure a balanced environment throughout the storage space.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the temperature and humidity distribution gradient refers to the temperature and humidity difference distribution between each storage area; the zone temperature compensation is to balance the temperature difference between areas by independently controlling the power output of each heat-generating unit; the speed ratio refers to the relative speed relationship between the cooling fan 5 and the heat dissipation fan 6, which is used to adjust the airflow distribution; the preset range refers to the maximum temperature and humidity difference value allowed by the system.

[0041] The system first collects environmental data in real time through temperature and humidity sensors distributed in each storage area and calculates the temperature and humidity gradient between areas. Based on the gradient data, it adjusts the operating parameters of the blower 7, including the speed and air outlet angle. At the same time, it controls the speed ratio of the cooling fan 5 and the heat dissipation fan 6. When the temperature difference between areas exceeds the preset range, it adjusts the power of each heating unit accordingly to achieve temperature compensation. For the humidification process, it automatically adjusts the air direction and speed of the humidification fan 43 according to the humidity difference.

[0042] Optionally, the system can adopt horizontal partitioning (three layers: top, middle, and bottom), vertical partitioning (three zones: left, middle, and right), or grid partitioning (3×3 nine-square grid); the fan control can adopt constant speed mode or variable speed mode; temperature compensation can be selected as independent control of a single zone or linkage control of adjacent zones; the humidification mode can be selected as continuous humidification or intermittent humidification.

[0043] In situations such as environmental fluctuations caused by frequent door openings, mixed storage of different types of cigars, and excessively long storage times, the system employs dynamic power allocation to address uneven loads, automatically increasing the cooling or heating power in high-load areas. For frequent door openings, it prioritizes adjusting environmental parameters in affected areas through buffer zones and rapid response mechanisms. Furthermore, for seasonal temperature differences, the system automatically adjusts preset ranges and control parameters to ensure environmental stability in each area.

[0044] In the above embodiments, this application provides a method for controlling a constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet. Through real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity data, intelligent adjustment of cooling and heating power, precise zone control, and environmental stability assessment, it achieves precise control of the cigar storage environment. This method not only considers the different storage requirements of different types of cigars but also designs comprehensive solutions for various special situations. The system employs a multi-level temperature and humidity control strategy, combined with environmental stability analysis and quality maintenance assessment, effectively ensuring the quality of stored cigars. Through zone control and dynamic adjustment mechanisms, it solves the problem of uneven temperature and humidity distribution in traditional cigar cabinets, improving the stability and uniformity of the storage environment.
