[0043] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wine cabinet 1, including a housing 10, an evaporator 20, an air intake assembly 30 and a humidification assembly 40. The housing 10 defines an evaporation bin 110 and a wine storage chamber 120 that are connected. The evaporator 20 is disposed in the evaporation bin 110. The air intake assembly 30 is disposed in the housing 10, and the air intake assembly 30 is used to transport the gas outside the housing 10 to the evaporation bin 110.

The liquid storage part 410 is used to collect condensed water from the evaporator 20, and the humidification assembly 40 is used to humidify the wine storage chamber 120.

[0044] The wine cabinet 1 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is arranged in the housing 10 through the air intake assembly 30, and the gas outside the housing 10 is transported to the evaporation bin 110. The gas outside the housing 10 is transported to the evaporation bin 110 through the air intake assembly 30, and the gas outside the housing 10 passes through the evaporator 20 in the evaporation bin 110 and is liquefied, thereby forming condensed water. The liquid storage part 410 is located below the evaporator 20, and the liquid storage part 410 is used to collect the condensed water of the evaporator 20, and then the condensed water in the liquid storage part 410 is used to provide a water source for humidifying the wine cabinet 1. Compared with the related art that uses a method of reminding the user to add water to obtain a water source, the present disclosure introduces external air into the evaporation bin 110 through the air intake assembly 30, and uses the low temperature of the evaporator 20 to form condensed water, thereby automatically obtaining a water source, replacing manual water addition, improving user convenience, and improving user experience. Compared with the related art that uses the method of connecting an external water source pipeline to obtain water, the present disclosure uses the air intake component 30 to introduce external air into the evaporation chamber 110, and uses the low temperature of the evaporator 20 to form condensed water to automatically obtain water, which reduces the requirements for the installation conditions of the wine cabinet 1, reduces the risk of water leakage, and improves the user experience. At the same time, the wine cabinet 1 is provided with a humidification component 40. When the wine cabinet 1 requires a higher humidity and the humidity in the wine cabinet 1 is low, the condensed water in the liquid storage part 410 can be used to humidify the wine storage chamber 120.

[0045] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air intake assembly 30 includes an air intake channel 310 and a first fan 320.

The first fan 320 is disposed in the air intake channel 310, and is used to transport the gas outside the housing 10 to the evaporator 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, the air inlet channel 310 is arranged in the housing 10, one end of the air inlet channel 310 is connected to the outside of the housing 10, and the other end of the air inlet channel 310 is connected to the evaporation chamber 110, so that the gas outside the housing 10 can enter the evaporation chamber 110 through the air inlet channel 310. The other end of the air inlet channel 310 is arranged toward the evaporator 20, which can provide a direction for the gas flow, and then the gas outside the housing 10 can be directed to the evaporator 20. The gas is liquefied by the evaporator 20 to obtain condensed water, which provides a water source for humidifying the wine cabinet 1. In the present disclosure, the first fan 320 is arranged in the air inlet channel 310, and the gas outside the housing 10 is transported to the evaporator 20 through the operation of the first fan 320. The gas is liquefied through the evaporator 20 to form condensed water, which can provide a water source for humidifying the wine cabinet 1. At the same time, the operation of the first fan 320 accelerates the gas flow in the air inlet channel 310, thereby increasing the liquefaction speed and further increasing the humidification efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air intake assembly 30 further includes a shielding device 330. The shielding device 330 is disposed in the air intake passage 310 and is located at one side of the first fan 320.

[0048] In this embodiment, the shielding device 330 is disposed in the air inlet channel 310, and is located on one side of the first fan 320. By operating the shielding device 330, the air intake of the air inlet channel 310 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the flow of the gas entering the evaporation chamber 110.

[0049] Optionally, the shielding device 330 includes a blocking member and a driving member. The blocking member is arranged in the air inlet channel 310, and is located on one side of the first fan 320. The driving member is connected to the blocking member, and the driving member drives the blocking member to move, so as to open or close the air inlet channel 310.

[0050] In this embodiment, the blocking member is driven by the driving member to move, and the opening or closing of the air inlet channel 310 is controlled, so that the flow of gas entering the evaporation chamber 110 can be controlled. When the wine cabinet 1 needs to take water from the outside, the blocking member is driven by the driving member to move, and the air inlet channel 310 is opened, so that the external gas enters the evaporation chamber 110. When the wine cabinet 1 does not need to take water from the outside, the blocking member is driven by the driving member to move, and the air inlet channel 310 is closed to maintain a stable environment in the wine cabinet 1.

[0051] Optionally, the air intake assembly 30 further includes a filter 340 . The filter 340 is disposed in the air intake passage 310 , and is used to filter the gas entering the evaporation chamber 110 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the filter 340 is disposed in the air inlet passage 310, and can filter the gas entering the evaporation chamber 110, and remove dust, odor, impurities, etc. in the gas. The filter 340 can improve the cleanliness and purity of the gas entering the evaporation chamber 110, so as not to affect the air quality in the wine cabinet 1 itself.

[0053] More specifically, the filter element 340 includes activated carbon, HEPA (High-efficiency particulate arrestance, high-efficiency particulate filter) and the like.

[0054] More specifically, whether the filter element 340 is clogged can be determined by monitoring the rotation speed and power of the first fan 320. If the filter element 340 is clogged, the user is reminded to replace or clean it.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of the air intake assembly 30 is one or more.

[0056] In this embodiment, the number of air intake components 30 is one or more, which can meet the needs of wine cabinets 1 with different capacities and requirements, and can improve the user experience. A wine cabinet 1 with a small capacity or a wine cabinet 1 with low humidity requirements can be equipped with one air intake component 30. For a large or professional wine cabinet 1, multiple air intake components 30 can be provided.

[0057] More specifically, a plurality of air intake assemblies 30 may be distributed at different positions of the wine cabinet 1 so as to more flexibly control the air intake channel 310 , thereby more flexibly controlling the gas entering the evaporation bin 110 .

[0058] Optionally, combined Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the humidifying assembly 40 further includes a heating element 420. The heating element 420 is disposed in the liquid storage element 410 and is used to heat the water in the liquid storage element 410.

[0059] In this embodiment, the heating element 420 is disposed in the liquid storage element 410 to heat the water in the liquid storage element 410, thereby providing steam, and then the humidification component 40 can humidify the wine storage chamber 120 with the steam.

[0060] More specifically, the heating member 420 includes a heating rod.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wine cabinet 1 further includes a second fan 50. The second fan 50 is disposed at the air outlet of the humidifying component 40, and the second fan 50 is used to deliver the moisture generated by the humidifying component 40 into the wine storage chamber 120.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second fan 50 is arranged at the air outlet of the humidification component 40. Through the operation of the second fan 50, the moisture generated by the humidification component can be effectively sent into the wine storage chamber 120 through the air outlet, thereby improving the efficiency of humidifying the wine storage chamber 120.

[0063] More specifically, the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 can be precisely controlled by adjusting the air volume and rotation speed of the second fan 50 to control the amount and speed of moisture delivery.

[0064] Optionally, the second fan 50 includes a centrifugal fan or an axial flow fan.

[0065] More specifically, the second fan 50 is a centrifugal fan. The airflow enters the rotating blade channel. Under the action of centrifugal force, the gas is compressed and flows in the radial direction, thereby changing the direction of the airflow. Therefore, the gas is transported into the wine storage chamber 120 under the action of the centrifugal fan, thereby increasing the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120.

[0066] It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the type of the second fan 50 , and in actual applications, the second fan 50 is selected according to different requirements.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the box body 10 also includes a humidification channel 130 and a damper mechanism 140. The two ends of the humidification channel 130 are respectively connected to the air outlet of the humidification component 40 and the wine storage chamber 120, and the second fan 50 is arranged in the humidification channel 130. The damper mechanism 140 is arranged in the humidification channel 130 to control the opening or closing of the humidification channel 130.

[0068] In this embodiment, the two ends of the humidification channel 130 are respectively connected to the air outlet of the humidification component 40 and the wine storage chamber 120, so that moisture can enter the wine storage chamber 120 through the humidification channel 130, thereby realizing humidification in the wine storage chamber 120. The second fan 50 is arranged in the humidification channel 130. Through the operation of the second fan 50, a certain wind pressure and air volume are generated, so that the moisture flows faster in the humidification channel 130, thereby increasing the speed of humidification. The damper mechanism 140 is arranged in the humidification channel 130. Through the operation of the damper mechanism 140, the opening or closing of the humidification channel 130 can be controlled. When the wine storage chamber 120 needs to be humidified, the damper mechanism 140 is controlled to work to open the humidification channel 130. When the wine storage chamber 120 does not need to be humidified, the damper mechanism 140 is controlled to work to close the humidification channel 130. By adjusting the damper mechanism 140 , the amount of moisture delivered can be controlled, thereby better controlling the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 .

[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the wine cabinet 1 further includes a water collecting member 60 . The water collecting member 60 is disposed below the evaporator 20 and is used to receive condensed water on the evaporator 20 . The water collecting member 60 is in communication with the liquid storage member 410 .

[0070] In this embodiment, the water collecting member 60 is disposed below the evaporator 20 to collect the condensed water on the evaporator 20. The present disclosure connects the water collecting member 60 with the liquid storage member 410, and can transport the condensed water in the water collecting member 60 to the liquid storage member 410, thereby providing a water source for humidification. At the same time, the condensed water in the water collecting member 60 can be prevented from overflowing.

[0071] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the wine cabinet 1 further includes a drain pipe which is connected to the water collecting part 60 and the liquid storage part 410 .

[0072] In this embodiment, the drain pipe connects the water collecting part 60 and the liquid storage part 410 , and can flow the condensed water in the water collecting part 60 into the liquid storage part 410 through the drain pipe, thereby providing a water source for humidifying the wine storage chamber 120 .

[0073] Optionally, the wine cabinet 1 further includes a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is disposed in the wine storage cavity 120 and is used to detect the humidity in the wine storage cavity 120.

[0074] In this embodiment, the humidity sensor is disposed in the wine storage chamber 120, and can sense the moisture content in the air in the wine storage chamber 120, so as to obtain the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120, and then can control the working state of the air intake component 30 and the humidification component 40 according to the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120, which helps to achieve precise control of the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120.

[0075] Optionally, the wine cabinet 1 also has a water level sensor. The water level sensor is arranged in the water collecting member 60 and is used to detect the water level of the water collecting member 60.

[0076] In this embodiment, the water level sensor is disposed in the water collecting member 60, and can detect the water level in the water collecting member 60. When the water level is too low, the air intake assembly 30 is controlled to work to start the automatic water extraction operation. When the water level meets the humidification requirement, the air intake assembly 30 is controlled to stop working.

[0077] Optionally, the wine cabinet 1 further comprises a controller, which is disposed in the housing 10 . The controller is connected to the water level sensor, the humidity sensor, the first fan 320 , the second fan 50 , the damper mechanism 140 and the heating element 420 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the controller is connected to the water level sensor, the humidity sensor, the first fan 320, the second fan 50, the damper mechanism 140 and the heater 420, and can receive detection data from the water level sensor and the humidity sensor to control the working states of the first fan 320, the second fan 50, the damper mechanism 140 and the heater 420 according to the detection data, thereby controlling the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120.

[0079] More specifically, in practical applications, the humidity range suitable for wine storage is 30% to 80%. The wine cabinet 1 can set the humidity to H according to the storage requirements of different wines, for example, H is 50%, 45%, or 40%. The humidity range required by the wine cabinet 1 is set to [HM, H+M], where M is a set threshold value, and the value range of M is 3% to 8%, for example, M is 3%, 5%, or 8%.

[0080] Combination Figure 1 The wine cabinet 1 shown, in some embodiments, provides a method for controlling the humidity of the wine cabinet 1, comprising:

[0081] When the humidity sensor detects that the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 is less than HM, it indicates that humidification is required in the wine storage chamber 120. Further, the water level in the water collecting member 60 is detected by a water level sensor.

[0082] When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the liquid storage part 410 is lower than the preset water level, it means that the water in the liquid storage part 410 is relatively small and external water needs to be taken. At this time, the controller controls the first fan 320 to start, and the air intake assembly 30 transports the gas outside the box 10 to the evaporation chamber 110. The gas passes through the evaporator 20 with a lower temperature and is liquefied to form liquid water. The liquid water is collected by the water collecting part 60 and flows into the liquid storage part 410.

[0083] When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the liquid storage part 410 is greater than or equal to the preset water level, it means that the water in the liquid storage part 410 can be used for humidification. At this time, the controller controls the first fan 320 to be turned off and the external water intake is turned off. At the same time, the controller controls the heating element 420 to heat, the second fan 50 to be turned on, and the damper mechanism 140 to be turned on. In this way, through the operation of the heating element 420, the heating element 420 heats the condensed water in the liquid storage part 410 to form moisture. Through the operation of the second fan 50, the moisture is sent into the wine storage chamber 120 through the damper mechanism 140, thereby increasing the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120.

[0084] When the humidity sensor detects that the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 is in the range of [HM, H+M], it means that the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 is within the required humidity range of the wine cabinet 1, and the wine storage chamber 120 does not need humidification. At this time, the controller controls the first fan 320 to turn off, turns off the external water intake, and controls the second fan 50 to turn off, the damper mechanism 140 to turn off, and the heating element 420 to stop working, thereby stopping the humidification operation.

[0085] Optionally, the wine cabinet 1 further includes a third fan. The third fan is arranged in the wine storage cavity 120.

[0086] In this embodiment, the third fan is disposed in the wine storage chamber 120. The third fan works to change the direction of the airflow in the wine storage chamber 120, so that the gas flows in the wine storage chamber 120, thereby improving the uniformity of gas distribution in the wine storage chamber 120, making the humidity in the wine storage chamber 120 balanced, and improving the user experience.
