[0029] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the temperature and humidity control cabinet provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes: a cabinet 001, an evaporator 002, a compressor 003 and a condenser 004; the cabinet 001 has a first heat exchange chamber 101, a second heat exchange chamber 102 and a control chamber 103, the first heat exchange chamber 101 is separated from the second heat exchange chamber 102, and are respectively adjacent to the control chamber 103; the evaporator 002 is installed between the first heat exchange chamber 101 and the control chamber 103, the compressor 003 and the condenser 004 are fluidically connected and are respectively installed in the second heat exchange chamber 102; the evaporator 002 and the condenser 004 are respectively configured as the side walls of the control chamber 103.
[0033] Specifically, the cabinet 001 is configured as a rectangular box, and the first heat exchange chamber 101 and the second heat exchange chamber 102 are distributed along the horizontal plane in an approximately L-shaped structure, so that the first heat exchange chamber 101 is located in front of the control chamber 103, and the second heat exchange chamber 102 is located on the left side of the control chamber 103. The evaporator 002 and the condenser 004 can exchange heat with the control chamber 103 respectively. The layout structure of the temperature and humidity control cabinet is more compact, which reduces the floor space of the temperature and humidity control cabinet, and has higher heat exchange efficiency, which is conducive to reducing equipment energy consumption.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a first fan 005 is installed in the first heat exchange chamber 101 , and the first fan 005 is located on the side of the evaporator 002 away from the regulating chamber 103 ; a first vent 104 is provided on the top of the first heat exchange chamber 101 .
[0035] By evaporating the heat exchange medium in the evaporator 002 to absorb heat and exchanging heat between the evaporator 002 and the control chamber 103, the temperature inside the control chamber 103 can be reduced on the one hand, and the humid air in the control chamber 103 that contacts the evaporator 002 can be condensed on the other hand, thereby reducing the humidity inside the control chamber 103. The first fan 005 drives the airflow to circulate in the first heat exchange chamber 101, and the external air can be sucked into the evaporator 002 through the first vent 104, and condensed to form water droplets after heat exchange in the evaporator 002, thereby reducing the humidity of the external air.
[0036] See also Figure 3 A water receiving pan 006 is installed at the bottom of the evaporator 002, and a pipe 601 extending to the outside of the cabinet 001 is connected to the bottom of the water receiving pan 006. Water droplets condensed at the evaporator 002 can be collected by the water receiving pan 006 and finally discharged into the floor drain through the pipe 601.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a second fan 007 is installed in the second heat exchange chamber 102. The second fan 007 is arranged opposite to the condenser 004 and can drive the air flow to flow through the condenser 004. The air absorbs the heat of the condenser 004, thereby achieving heating and drying of the air.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the second heat exchange chamber 102 is provided with a second vent 105 and a third vent 106, and the second vent 105 and the third vent 106 are arranged at intervals; the second vent 105 is opposite to the compressor 003, and the second fan 007 and the condenser 004 are both located between the third vent 106 and the compressor 003.
[0039] In this embodiment, the air inside the regulating chamber 103 that contacts the condenser 004 is heated and dried, and the second fan 007 can drive the airflow to flow in from the second vent 105 and out from the third vent 106. The air flowing in from the second vent 105 first flows through the compressor 003, which not only dissipates heat for the compressor 003, but also the absorbed heat can be transferred to the condenser 004, further increasing the temperature at which the condenser 004 heats the air, thereby improving the utilization rate of thermal energy.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the regulating chamber 103 is provided with a fourth vent 107 and a fifth vent 108; the fourth vent 107 is located on the side of the regulating chamber 103 away from the evaporator 002, and the fourth vent 107 and the third vent 106 have the same orientation; the fifth vent 108 is located on the side of the regulating chamber 103 away from the condenser 004.
[0041] When installing the temperature and humidity control cabinet, the third vent 106 can be placed toward and near the wall, and the hot air exhausted from the third vent 106 can be returned to the fourth vent 107. The airflow entering through the fourth vent 107 exchanges heat with the condenser 004 and is then exhausted through the second vent 105.
[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second ventilation opening 105 is equipped with a first air valve 008, and the third ventilation opening 106 is equipped with a second air valve 009. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the fourth vent 107 is equipped with a third air valve 010. Among them, the first air valve 008, the second air valve 009 and the third air valve 010 can all be configured as a shutter-type opening and closing structure, and the opening size can be adjusted by an electronically controlled driving device to achieve the regulation of the ventilation area. The controller can control the opening of the first air valve 008, the second air valve 009 and the third air valve 010 according to the internal and external temperature difference and humidity difference, so as to ensure that the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the temperature and humidity control cabinet is working are adapted.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet 001 is provided with a front panel 109, which is located on the side of the evaporator 002 away from the control chamber 103, and a human-machine interaction device is installed on the front panel 109. The location of the front panel 109 is defined as the front of the cabinet 001, then the first vent 104 is set on the top cover of the cabinet 001, and the fifth vent 108 is located on the right side wall of the cabinet 001. The human-machine interaction device is installed on the front panel 109, and the working state of the temperature and humidity control cabinet can be debugged through the human-machine interaction device.
[0044] In this embodiment, the human-machine interaction device includes a display screen 011 and a keypad 012, which are respectively connected to the controller. The display screen 011 can display temperature, humidity and equipment operating status, and the set temperature and humidity can be adjusted through the keypad 012.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
