Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of storage devices. In particular, it relates to a storage box. Background Art
[0002] A storage box is a container used to store and protect items. For example, a cigar cabinet is stored in a storage box. Cigars will continue to age under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, and their flavor and aroma will become more complex and rich over time.
[0003] In the prior art, the storage box for storing cigars is usually called a cigar cabinet. The humidity in the storage box has a great influence on the quality of cigars. A humidifying water tank is often equipped in the storage box. The humidifying water tank includes a water tank body and a fan. Water is stored in the water tank body. In this way, the air flow in the storage box is guided by the fan to flow through the water tank body, and the water humidifies the air flow. Subsequently, the air flow carrying water vapor flows out of the water tank body and flows in the storage chamber of the storage box to humidify the storage chamber. A hygrometer is used to monitor the humidity inside the storage box.
[0004] However, the existing storage box has the problem of large humidity fluctuations. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a storage box, in which the humidity of the storage box is maintained at a stable value, the humidity fluctuation of the storage box is reduced, and the humidity stability of the storage box is improved.
[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a storage box. The storage box includes a box body, an inner liner, and a humidifying component. The box body has a cavity. The inner liner is located in the cavity, and the inner liner forms a storage cavity. The humidifying component is arranged in the cavity and is used to humidify the storage cavity. The humidifying component includes a liquid storage member, a humidifying part, an air duct, a fan assembly, a humidifying member, and a breathable pipe. The liquid storage member is used to supply liquid to the humidifying part; the humidifying part has a humidifying air outlet; the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and both the air inlet and the air outlet are communicated with the storage cavity; the fan assembly is used to suck the air flow in the storage cavity into the air duct through the air inlet and discharge the air flow from the air outlet to the storage cavity; the humidifying air outlet converges into the air duct so that the humidified air flow of the humidifying part is discharged from the air outlet of the air duct to the storage cavity. The humidifying member is located in the humidifying cavity of the humidifying part; the humidifying member extends along the height direction of the humidifying component.
[0007] The breathable pipe is arranged in the liquid storage cavity. Along the height direction of the humidifying component, the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the breathable pipe is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the humidifying member is located; the top end of the breathable pipe is communicated with the atmosphere.
[0008] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By providing a breather tube and utilizing the working principle of a Mariotte bottle, during the use of the humidifying component, since the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is communicated with the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage member, and the top end of the breather tube located in the liquid storage chamber is communicated with the atmosphere, the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is communicated with the atmosphere through the exhaust chamber of the exhaust part. In this way, during the process of the liquid storage member supplying liquid to the humidifying part, the liquid level in the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is always at the same horizontal plane as the bottom end of the breather tube. At the same time, on the basis that the humidifying member is fixedly installed on the humidifying part and the humidifying member has a fixed humidifying area, the height of the humidifying member immersed in the liquid in the humidifying chamber is fixed, achieving a constant amount of liquid evaporated by the humidifying member per unit time, thereby ensuring the stability of the humidity of the air flow humidified by the humidifying member, realizing the humidity in the storage chamber at a stable level, reducing the fluctuation of the humidity in the storage box, and improving the humidity stability of the storage box.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying component includes a housing. An air inlet and an air outlet are formed on the housing, and the housing has a mounting portion. The mounting portion has a first mounting cavity and a second mounting cavity. The second mounting cavity of the mounting portion is communicated with the storage cavity through the air inlet. The humidifying part has a humidifying chamber. The exhaust part has an exhaust chamber. The exhaust chamber of the exhaust part is communicated with the storage cavity through the air outlet.
[0010] Among them, the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is communicated with the second mounting cavity of the mounting portion. The humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is communicated with the exhaust chamber of the exhaust part. The second mounting cavity, the humidifying chamber, and the exhaust chamber form an air duct.
[0011] The liquid storage member is installed in the first mounting cavity, and the liquid storage member has a liquid storage chamber. The liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage member is communicated with the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part.
[0012] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By dividing the housing into three main areas, namely a mounting portion, a humidifying part, and an exhaust part, and placing the fan assembly, the liquid storage member, and the humidifying member in different areas, among which, the liquid storage member has a liquid storage function, the fan assembly has a guiding function, the humidifying member has a humidifying function, and the exhaust chamber of the exhaust part has an exhaust function. In this way, each area of the housing has a clear division of labor, ensuring the stability of the air flow guiding process, the liquid transportation process, the air flow humidifying process, and the air flow discharging process, capable of effectively controlling the humidity in the storage cavity, improving the humidifying ability of the humidifying component of the storage box, and improving the service performance of the storage box.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, a ventilation hole is provided at the top of the liquid storage member. The ventilation hole is communicated with the liquid storage chamber. The direction from the top end to the bottom end of the breather tube is parallel to the height direction of the humidifying component.
[0014] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The ventilation holes are directly connected to the atmosphere, ensuring that the air pressure in the liquid storage cavity is always balanced with the external atmospheric pressure. This can avoid air pressure changes caused by the flow of liquid in the liquid storage cavity and ensure that the liquid in the liquid storage cavity can flow out smoothly. Since no negative pressure is formed, the liquid can continuously flow into the humidification cavity, ensuring that the humidifying member can continuously obtain liquid supply and avoiding humidification interruption.
[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, a ventilation pipe fixing pipe is provided on the inner top wall of the liquid storage member. The top end of the ventilation pipe is fixedly connected to the ventilation pipe fixing pipe.
[0016] The inner peripheral wall of the ventilation pipe fixing pipe is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the top end of the ventilation pipe. The orthographic projection of the ventilation pipe fixing pipe on the top wall of the liquid storage member surrounds the outer periphery of the ventilation hole.
[0017] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By fixedly connecting the top end of the ventilation pipe to the inner top wall of the liquid storage member through the ventilation pipe fixing pipe, the ventilation pipe fixing pipe can limit the ventilation pipe, avoid the movement or detachment of the ventilation pipe during use, and increase the structural stability. At the same time, this fixed connection method improves the sealing performance between the ventilation pipe and the ventilation pipe fixing pipe, avoids gas leakage, and is beneficial to maintaining the air pressure balance in the liquid storage cavity.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, a ventilation pipe support member is provided on the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member. The ventilation pipe support member includes a support seat and a support rod. The support seat is connected to the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member. The support rod is connected to the top end of the support seat.
[0019] The bottom end of the ventilation pipe is sleeved on the support rod and connected to the top end of the support seat.
[0020] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: When impurities in the liquid in the liquid storage cavity accumulate, due to the provision of the support seat, the height of the bottom end of the ventilation pipe is higher than the impurity layer deposited at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity, which can avoid the blockage of the bottom end of the ventilation pipe by impurities and ensure the smooth flow path of the liquid.
[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one of the following limitations is satisfied:
[0022] Along the width direction of the storage box, the ventilation pipe is located at the center line of the liquid storage member.
[0023] Along the length direction of the storage box, the ventilation pipe is located at the center line of the liquid storage member.
[0024] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Along the length direction of the storage box, the ventilation pipe is located at the center line of the liquid storage member, which can ensure that the air pressure distribution in the liquid storage cavity is more uniform and avoid problems of too high or too low local air pressure.
[0025] Along the length direction of the storage box, the air permeable pipe is located at the center line of the liquid storage member and is centered in the width direction. In this way, the position design of the air permeable pipe at the center line helps to balance the liquid flow in the liquid storage cavity, avoid the problems of liquid accumulation or poor flow on one side, and ensure that the humidifying member can continuously obtain liquid supply.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the box body has an opening; the liquid storage member is located on the side of the humidifying part close to the opening. The exhaust cavity is located at the top of the humidifying cavity.
[0027] The housing has a humidifying liquid inlet and a humidifying air outlet. The humidifying liquid inlet is located on the side of the humidifying member close to the liquid storage member. The humidifying cavity is communicated with the liquid storage cavity through the humidifying liquid inlet. The humidifying air outlet is located at the top of the humidifying member and on the side away from the opening. The humidifying cavity is communicated with the exhaust cavity through the humidifying air outlet.
[0028] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The humidifying cavity is communicated with the exhaust cavity through the humidifying air outlet. In this way, the gas is discharged from the humidifying air outlet at the top of the humidifying cavity, while the liquid enters the humidifying cavity through the humidifying liquid inlet, and the flow of the liquid in the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage member towards the humidifying and the flow of the humidified air flow in the humidifying cavity do not interfere with each other, optimizing the gas-liquid separation effect.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying member extends along the width direction and the height direction of the storage box, and both ends of the humidifying member along the length direction of the storage box are respectively connected to the side plates of the housing.
[0030] The humidifying member divides the humidifying cavity into a first humidifying cavity and a second humidifying cavity. The first humidifying cavity is located on the side of the humidifying cavity close to the opening. The first humidifying cavity is communicated with the humidifying liquid inlet. The second humidifying cavity is communicated with the humidifying air outlet.
[0031] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By respectively connecting both ends of the humidifying member along the length direction of the storage box to the side plates of the housing, the humidifying cavity is divided into a first humidifying cavity and a second humidifying cavity. The first humidifying cavity is responsible for the entry and preliminary humidification of the liquid, and the second humidifying cavity is responsible for the discharge of the gas, ensuring that the gas can be discharged smoothly and reducing the possibility of gas retention and blockage. At the same time, since both ends of the humidifying member along the length direction of the storage box are respectively connected to the side plates of the housing, it is ensured that all the air flows entering the first humidifying cavity pass through the humidifying treatment of the humidifying member, improving the humidity uniformity of the air flow. The uniform humidifying effect of the humidifying cavity, that is, the humidifying member, ensures the humidity stability in the storage room and avoids the problems of too high or too low humidity in local areas.
[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying assembly further includes a fan assembly. The fan assembly is located in the second installation cavity and at the bottom of the liquid storage member and the humidifying member. The air outlet of the fan assembly is communicated with the first humidifying cavity.
[0033] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: Since the fan assembly is usually heavy, arranging the fan assembly at the bottom of the liquid storage part and the humidifying part can lower the center of gravity of the entire humidifying assembly, improve the stability of the humidifying assembly, prevent tipping, and enhance the structural stability of the storage box.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, a humidifying air inlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the humidifying part. The top end of the humidifying air inlet pipe is higher than the bottom end of the air permeating pipe. The humidifying air inlet pipe is communicated with the first humidifying cavity, and the bottom end of the humidifying air inlet pipe is communicated with the air outlet of the fan assembly.
[0035] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: The top end of the humidifying air inlet pipe is higher than the bottom end of the air permeating pipe and is communicated with the first humidifying cavity. In this way, it prevents liquid from entering the fan assembly through the humidifying air inlet pipe, avoids liquid from entering the fan assembly and causing damage or performance degradation of the fan assembly. The bottom end of the humidifying air inlet pipe is communicated with the air outlet of the fan assembly. Airflow is introduced into the humidifying cavity through the air outlet of the fan assembly, and the airflow enters the first humidifying cavity through the humidifying air inlet pipe, which helps to evenly distribute the airflow and ensure the humidifying effect.
[0036] An embodiment of the present application provides a storage box. The storage box includes a box body, an inner container, and a humidifying assembly. The box body has a cavity. The inner container is located in the cavity, and the inner container forms a storage cavity. The humidifying assembly is arranged in the cavity, and the humidifying assembly is used to humidify the storage cavity. The humidifying assembly includes a liquid storage part, a humidifying part, an air duct, a fan assembly, a humidifying member, and an air permeating pipe. The liquid storage part is used to supply liquid to the humidifying part; the humidifying part has a humidifying air outlet; the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and both the air inlet and the air outlet are communicated with the storage cavity; the fan assembly is used to suck the airflow in the storage cavity into the air duct through the air inlet and discharge the airflow from the air outlet to the storage cavity; the humidifying air outlet converges into the air duct so that the humidified airflow of the humidifying part is discharged from the air outlet of the air duct to the storage cavity. The humidifying member is located in the humidifying cavity of the humidifying part; the humidifying member extends along the height direction of the humidifying assembly;
[0037] The humidifying member is installed in the humidifying cavity. The humidifying member extends along the height direction of the humidifying assembly.
[0038] The air permeating pipe is arranged in the liquid storage cavity. The air permeating pipe is used to make the air pressure in the liquid storage cavity equal to the atmospheric pressure.
[0039] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects: By fixedly installing the humidifying member in the housing, the position of the humidifying member will not change. At the same time, the humidifying member has a fixed humidifying area, and the height of the humidifying member immersed in the liquid in the humidifying chamber is fixed, ensuring the stability of the humidifying effect of the humidifying member. The air permeable tube is arranged based on the working principle of the Mariotte bottle, and the liquid level in the humidifying chamber is always flush with the liquid level at the bottom end of the air permeable tube in the liquid storage chamber. In this way, the height of the humidifying member immersed in the liquid in the humidifying chamber is always fixed, realizing the fixed amount of liquid evaporated per unit time in the humidifying member, thereby ensuring the fixed humidity of the air flow humidified by the humidifying member, achieving a fixed humidity level in the storage chamber, and preventing the cigars from drying out or becoming overly humid.

[0061] A storage box is a container for storing and protecting items. For example, a cigar cabinet is stored in a storage box. Cigars will continue to age under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, and the flavor and aroma will become more complex and rich over time.
[0062] A storage box for storing cigars is usually called a cigar cabinet. A cigar cabinet is a device specifically designed for storing and preserving cigars. Cigars will continue to age under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, and the flavor and aroma will become more complex and rich over time. The main function of a storage box for storing cigars is to provide a suitable environment of temperature and humidity for cigars, so as to ensure that cigars are stored under the best conditions.
[0063] In the prior art, the humidity of a storage box for storing cigars has a great impact on the quality of cigars. A humidifying water tank is equipped in the storage box for storing cigars. The humidifying water tank includes a water tank body and a fan. Water is stored in the water tank body. In this way, the air flow in the storage room is guided by the fan to flow through the water tank body, and the water humidifies the air flow. Subsequently, the air flow carrying water vapor flows out of the water tank body and flows in the storage room of the storage box to humidify the storage room. A hygrometer monitors the humidity of the storage room. A humidity sensor monitors the humidity, and a feedback control component adjusts the humidity.
[0064] However, the design of the water tank may result in uneven contact area between air and water. At the same time, when the water level in the water tank is too low, the air flow cannot be fully humidified when passing through the water tank, resulting in a decrease in the humidity of the storage box. An overly high water level may cause excessive water vapor to be carried out when the air flow passes through the water tank, resulting in too high humidity in the storage box. Therefore, the existing storage box has the problem of large humidity fluctuations.
[0065] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a storage box. The storage box includes a box body, an inner liner, and a humidifying component. The box body has an opening and a cavity, and the opening communicates with the cavity. The inner liner is located in the cavity, and the inner liner forms a storage cavity. The humidifying component is arranged in the cavity, and the humidifying component is used to humidify the storage cavity. The humidifying component includes a liquid storage member, a humidifying part, an air duct, a fan assembly, a humidifying member, and a ventilation pipe. The liquid storage member is used to supply liquid to the humidifying part; the humidifying part has a humidifying air outlet; the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and both the air inlet and the air outlet communicate with the storage cavity; the fan assembly is used to suck the air flow in the storage cavity into the air duct through the air inlet and discharge the air flow from the air outlet to the storage cavity; the humidifying air outlet converges into the air duct so that the air flow humidified by the humidifying part is discharged from the air outlet of the air duct to the storage cavity. The humidifying member is located in the humidifying cavity of the humidifying part; the humidifying member extends along the height direction of the humidifying component.
[0066] The ventilation pipe is arranged in the liquid storage cavity. Along the height direction of the humidifying component, the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the ventilation pipe is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the humidifying member is located; the top end of the ventilation pipe communicates with the atmosphere.
[0067] By setting up a breather tube and utilizing the working principle of a Mariotte bottle, during the use of the humidifying component, since the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part and the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage member are connected, and the top end of the breather tube located in the liquid storage chamber is connected to the atmosphere, the humidifying chamber of the humidifying part is connected to the atmosphere through the exhaust chamber of the exhaust part. In this way, during the process of the liquid storage member supplying liquid to the humidifying part, the liquid level in the humidifying chamber is always at the same horizontal plane as the bottom end of the breather tube. At the same time, on the basis that the humidifying member is fixedly installed with the humidifying part and the humidifying member has a fixed area, the height of the humidifying member immersed in the liquid of the humidifying chamber is fixed, achieving a fixed amount of liquid evaporated by the humidifying member per unit time, thereby ensuring the fixed humidity of the air flow humidified by the humidifying member, achieving a fixed humidity level in the storage room, reducing the humidity fluctuation of the storage box, and improving the humidity stability of the storage box.

The liquid storage cavity 520a of the liquid storage member 520 is communicated with the humidifying cavity 510d of the humidifying part. The design of the liquid storage member 520 ensures that the humidifying member 530 can continuously obtain liquid supply, avoiding humidifying interruption caused by insufficient liquid. The humidifying member 530 is installed in the humidifying cavity 510d. The humidifying member 530 extends along the height direction of the humidifying component 500. The fixedly installed humidifying member 530 ensures that its humidifying area will not change due to position change, thus providing a stable humidifying effect. The exhaust part is located at the top of the humidifying part. The humidifying cavity 510d is communicated with the exhaust cavity 510g. A air outlet is provided on the housing 510. The exhaust cavity 510g is communicated with the storage cavity through the air outlet.
[0081] Among them, the ventilation pipe 521 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 520a. Along the height direction of the humidifying component 500, the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the ventilation pipe 521 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the humidifying member 530 is located. The top end of the ventilation pipe 521 is communicated with the atmosphere. The ventilation pipe 521 maintains the pressure balance inside and outside the liquid storage cavity 520a by communicating with the atmosphere. When the liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d drops, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a flows into the humidifying cavity 510d, and at the same time, air is supplemented through the ventilation pipe 521 to prevent the formation of negative pressure and ensure smooth liquid flow.
[0082] Exemplarily, a Mariotte bottle is a device for maintaining a fixed liquid outflow rate, and its working principle is based on the principles of air pressure balance and hydrostatic pressure. The structure of a Mariotte bottle generally includes a closed bottle body, an air inlet pipe, and a liquid outlet pipe. In the embodiment of the present application, the liquid storage member 520 and the air permeable pipe 521 are designed based on the working principle of the Mariotte bottle. The direction from the top end to the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 is parallel to the height direction of the humidifying assembly 500.
[0083] Exemplarily, when the temperature of the storage room is constant and the air flow velocity is constant, the humidity of the storage room depends on the humidity of the humidifying assembly 500. Whether the humidifying assembly 500 can discharge a stable-humidity air flow through the exhaust cavity 510g and the air outlet depends on whether the liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d is stable, whether the humidifying area of the humidifying member 530 is fixed, and whether the height at which the humidifying member 530 is immersed in the humidifying cavity 510d is fixed.
[0084] During the process of the humidifying assembly 500 humidifying the storage room, first, the bottom end of the humidifying member 530 is located below the liquid level of the humidifying cavity 510d, and the humidifying member 530 absorbs the liquid in the humidifying cavity 510d to humidify the air flow. The liquid level of the humidifying cavity 510d is flush with the plane where the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 is located. Subsequently, since the humidifying member 530 absorbs the liquid in the humidifying cavity 510d during the process of humidifying the air flow, the liquid level of the humidifying cavity 510d will drop. At this time, the liquid level height difference between the liquid storage cavity 520a and the humidifying cavity 510d increases, and the pressure balance inside and outside the air permeable pipe 521 is broken. The negative pressure inside the liquid storage cavity 520a and the sum of the liquid level height differences between the liquid storage cavity 520a and the humidifying cavity 510d are greater than 1 atmosphere. Then, due to the pressure difference, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a flows into the humidifying cavity 510d to supplement the liquid in the humidifying cavity 510d. The air permeable pipe 521 allows air to enter the liquid storage cavity 520a to supplement the gas volume reduced due to the outflow of the liquid and prevent the formation of excessive negative pressure. The liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a flows into the humidifying cavity 510d to raise the liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d to be flush with the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521. The humidifying member 530 continues to absorb the liquid in the humidifying cavity 510d for humidifying. When the liquid level drops, the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a will automatically supplement to maintain the liquid level stability in the humidifying cavity 510d, and the liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d is always flush with the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521.
[0085] In this way, through the above process, the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 510d is always at the same horizontal plane as the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521. Thus, the height of the humidifying member 530 immersed in the liquid in the humidifying chamber 510d is constant. Based on the fixed humidifying area of the humidifying member 530, the amount of liquid evaporated by the humidifying member 530 per unit time is made constant, thereby ensuring the stability of the humidity of the air flow humidified by the humidifying member 530, achieving a stable humidity level in the storage chamber, reducing the humidity fluctuation in the storage box, and preventing the cigars from drying out or becoming overly humid.
[0086] Figure 7 Schematically shows a schematic structural view of a second perspective of the humidifying assembly 500 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0087] Exemplarily, referring to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the housing 100 has an opening. The installation portion is located on the side of the housing 510 close to the opening. In this way, the user can disassemble and install the liquid storage member 520 located in the installation portion, which is convenient for the user to add liquid to or clean the liquid storage member 520, and the operation is more convenient. Inside the installation portion, the fan assembly 540 is located at the bottom of the liquid storage member 520. In this way, the fan assembly 540 located at the bottom of the housing 100 conveys the air flow to the humidifying chamber 510d through the fan air outlet 541c, and the air flow humidified by the humidifying member 530 then enters the storage chamber through the exhaust chamber 510g and the air outlet. The air flow is distributed along the natural upward path, preventing water vapor from accumulating in a certain area.
[0088] As a realizable embodiment, the liquid storage member 520 is located on the side of the humidifying portion close to the opening. The exhaust chamber 510g is located at the top of the humidifying chamber 510d. Considering that the air duct assembly of the storage box is on the side away from the opening, the humidifying chamber 510d and the exhaust chamber 510g are arranged on the side of the housing 510 away from the opening. In this way, the air flow humidified by the humidifying chamber 510d flows to the exhaust chamber 510g, and then the humidified air flow flows to the air duct assembly through the air outlet on the housing 510. This structure has the advantages of corresponding positions and being convenient for connection.
[0089] The housing 510 has a humidifying liquid inlet and a humidifying air outlet. The humidifying liquid inlet is located on the side of the humidifying member 530 close to the liquid storage member 520. The humidifying chamber 510d is communicated with the liquid storage chamber 520a through the humidifying liquid inlet. The humidifying air outlet is located at the top of the humidifying member 530 and on the side away from the opening. The humidifying chamber 510d is communicated with the exhaust chamber 510g through the humidifying air outlet. In this way, the gas is discharged from the humidifying air outlet at the top of the humidifying chamber 510d, while the liquid enters the humidifying chamber 510d through the humidifying liquid inlet. The flow of the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 520a of the liquid storage member 520 towards the humidifying chamber and the flow of the air flow humidified by the humidifying chamber 510d do not interfere with each other, optimizing the gas-liquid separation effect.
[0090] Referring to Figures 5 to 6As shown, the housing 510 includes a side plate 511 and a cover plate 512. The cover plate 512 is connected to the top of the side plate 511. The inner bottom wall of the box body 100, the side plate 511, and the cover plate 512 form an installation cavity 510a. The cover plate 512 and the side plate 511 are formed with a take-in and put-out opening on one side close to the opening. The take-in and put-out opening design allows the user to easily access the liquid storage part 520 and the fan assembly 540 in the installation cavity 510a, which is convenient for regular inspection, cleaning and maintenance, and reduces the difficulty and time of maintenance.
[0091] The housing 510 further includes a first partition 513. The first partition 513 extends along a first direction. The first direction intersects the height direction of the humidifying assembly 500. The first direction refers to Figure 6 Direction indicated by X in the middle. The first partition 513 is located in the installation cavity 510a. The first partition 513 divides the installation cavity 510a into a first installation cavity 510b and a second installation cavity 510c. The first installation cavity 510b is located at the top of a portion of the second installation cavity 510c. A liquid storage part 520 is detachably installed in the first installation cavity 510b. A fan assembly 540 is installed in the second installation cavity 510c. The installation cavity 510a is divided into a first installation cavity 510b and a second installation cavity 510c by the first partition 513, and the liquid storage part 520 and the fan assembly 540 are respectively located in different areas, with clear functional divisions to avoid mutual interference.
[0092] The shell 510 also includes a second partition 514. The second partition 514 extends along the height direction of the humidification component 500. The bottom of the second partition 514 is connected to the first partition 513, and the top of the second partition 514 is connected to the cover plate 512. In this way, the second partition 514 extends along the height direction of the humidification component 500 (i.e., the height direction of the box body 100). The first partition 513, the second partition 514, the cover plate 512 and the side plate 511 together form a humidification chamber 510d. By enclosing the first partition 513, the second partition 514, the cover plate 512 and the side plate 511, an independent humidification chamber 510d is formed, which prevents accidental leakage of the humidified airflow and ensures the stability and efficiency of the humidification effect.
[0093] The cover plate 512 includes a first plate body 512a and a second plate body 512d. The first plate body 512a includes a first extension section 512b and a second extension section 512c. The second extension section 512c is connected to the side of the first extension section 512b facing away from the outlet. The first extension section 512b is located at the top of the installation cavity 510a. Part of the second extension section 512c is bent toward the direction close to the humidification cavity 510d, which helps to guide the humidified airflow into the exhaust cavity 510g, optimize the airflow path, and improve the uniformity and efficiency of the humidification effect.
[0094] The second plate body 512d is connected to the side of the second extension section 512c away from the humidification chamber 510d, and together with the bent second extension section 512c and the side plate 511, forms an exhaust chamber 510g. An air outlet is formed on the second plate body 512d to ensure that the humidified air flow can be smoothly discharged, preventing the humidified air flow from accumulating in the exhaust chamber 510g and affecting the humidification effect.
[0095] Referring Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 510 further includes an air inlet plate 515. The air inlet plate 515 is connected to a part of the side plate 511 and the side of the first partition plate 513 close to the opening. The air inlet plate 515 is located on the side of the second installation cavity 510c close to the opening.
[0096] A plurality of air inlet holes are arranged at intervals on the air inlet plate 515. The design of the plurality of air inlet holes on the air inlet plate 515 ensures that the fan assembly 540 can obtain sufficient gas flow in the storage chamber. The air inlet holes communicate with the second installation cavity 510c. By arranging the air inlet holes at intervals, it is ensured that the air flow can uniformly enter the second installation cavity 510c, improving the ventilation effect and preventing the situation of poor air flow in local areas.
[0097] Figure 8 Schematically shows a schematic structural diagram of the fan assembly 540 provided by an embodiment of the present application.
[0098] As an implementable embodiment, referring Figure 8 As shown, the humidification assembly 500 further includes a fan assembly 540. The fan assembly 540 is located in the second installation cavity 510c and at the bottom of the liquid storage member 520 and the humidifying member 530. The fan air outlet 541c of the fan assembly 540 communicates with the first humidification chamber 510e.
[0099] Exemplarily, the fan assembly 540 includes a fan mounting seat 541 and a fan 542. The fan mounting seat 541 has a fan mounting cavity 541a. The fan mounting cavity 541a has a fan air inlet 541b and a fan air outlet 541c. The fan 542 is installed at the fan air inlet 541b, and the fan mounting cavity 541a communicates with the humidification chamber 510d through the fan air outlet 541c. The fan mounting seat 541 provides a fixed installation position, enabling the fan 542 to be stably installed at the fan air inlet 541b, preventing the fan 542 from shifting or vibrating during operation. By providing the fan air inlet 541b and the fan air outlet 541c on the fan mounting cavity 541a, the air flow path is clarified, ensuring that the air flow in the storage chamber can smoothly enter from the fan air inlet 541b, be pressurized by the fan 542 and discharged from the fan air outlet 541c into the humidification chamber 510d.
[0100] Exemplarily, during the humidification process of the humidification component 500, the fan 542 is started. First, the fan 542 guides the air flow in the storage chamber through the fan air inlet 541b to the fan installation cavity 541a; subsequently, the air flow in the fan installation cavity 541a flows into the humidification chamber 510d through the fan air outlet 541c. The humidifying member 530 in the humidification chamber 510d humidifies the air flow so that the air flow can fully absorb the liquid, ensuring that the humidity of the air flow is close to the preset value. By providing the fan 542 and using the forced circulation of the fan 542, the air flow in the storage chamber can continuously flow and undergo humidification treatment. The forced air circulation can avoid dead corners in the air circulation in the storage chamber, ensuring that the humidity in each corner can be effectively controlled and providing a more uniform storage environment. This design helps to maintain a stable humidity in the storage chamber, avoid humidity fluctuations, and provide a stable storage environment.
[0101] Figure 9 A schematic structural view showing a first perspective of the liquid storage box 520c of the liquid storage member 520 provided by an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 10 A schematic structural view showing a second perspective of the liquid storage box 520c of the liquid storage member 520 provided by an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 11 A schematic structural view showing the liquid storage cover 520d provided by an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.
[0102] As an implementable embodiment, referring to Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a ventilation hole 520b is provided at the top of the liquid storage member 520. The ventilation hole 520b communicates with the liquid storage cavity 520a. The direction from the top end to the bottom end of the ventilation pipe 521 is parallel to the height direction of the humidification component 500. In this way, the ventilation hole 520b directly communicates with the atmosphere, ensuring that the air pressure in the liquid storage cavity 520a is always balanced with the external atmospheric pressure. This can avoid air pressure changes caused by the flow of the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a and ensure that the liquid in the liquid storage cavity 520a can flow out smoothly. Since no negative pressure is formed, the liquid can continuously flow into the humidification chamber 510d, ensuring that the humidifying member 530 can continuously obtain liquid supply and avoiding humidification interruption.
[0103] Exemplarily, the liquid storage member 520 includes a liquid storage box 520c and a liquid storage cover 520d. The liquid storage box 520c has a liquid storage cavity 520a with one end open. The liquid storage cover 520d covers the opening of the liquid storage cavity 520a of the liquid storage box 520c.
[0104] Exemplarily, a ventilation hole 520b is provided on the liquid storage cover 520d. A liquid replenishing port is provided on the liquid storage cover 520d, and a liquid replenishing cover covers the liquid replenishing port, facilitating the user to replenish the liquid storage box 520c through the liquid replenishing port.
[0105] As an achievable implementation manner, an air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 is provided on the inner top wall of the liquid storage member 520. The top end of the air-permeable pipe 521 is fixedly connected to the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522.
[0106] The inner peripheral wall of the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the top end of the air-permeable pipe 521. The orthographic projection of the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 on the top wall of the liquid storage member 520 surrounds the outer periphery of the air-permeable hole 520b. This surrounding design ensures that the air flow channel around the air-permeable hole 520b is unobstructed and avoids air flow obstruction. The unobstructed air flow channel helps to keep the air pressure in the liquid storage cavity 520a balanced with the external atmospheric pressure and ensures that the liquid can flow smoothly.
[0107] Exemplarily, the inner diameter of the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 is not less than the outer diameter of the air-permeable pipe 521. The inner periphery of the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 wraps around the outer periphery of the top end of the air-permeable pipe 521. By fixedly connecting the top end of the air-permeable pipe 521 to the inner top wall of the liquid storage member 520 through the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522, the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 can limit the air-permeable pipe 521 and prevent the air-permeable pipe 521 from moving or falling off during use, increasing the structural stability. At the same time, this fixed connection method improves the sealing performance between the air-permeable pipe 521 and the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522, avoids gas leakage, and is beneficial to maintaining the air pressure balance in the liquid storage cavity 520a.
[0108] Exemplarily, the top end of the air-permeable pipe 521 is snap-connected to the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522. The snap-connection method between the air-permeable pipe 521 and the air-permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 realizes detachable installation, which is convenient for later maintenance of the air-permeable pipe 521.
[0109] As an achievable implementation manner, an air-permeable pipe support member 523 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member 520. The air-permeable pipe support member 523 includes a support base 523a and a support rod 523b. The support base 523a is connected to the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member 520. The support rod 523b is connected to the top end of the support base 523a.
[0110] The bottom end of the air-permeable pipe 521 is sleeved on the support rod 523b and is connected to the top end of the support base 523a.
[0111] Exemplarily, refer to Figures 5 to 9As shown, the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member 520 through the air permeable pipe support member 523. At the same time, the top end of the air permeable pipe 521 is fixed to the inner top wall of the liquid storage member 520 through the air permeable pipe fixing pipe 522. In this way, both ends of the air permeable pipe 521 are fixed by the air permeable pipe support member 523 and the air permeable pipe fixing pipe 522 respectively, which avoids the movement or detachment of the air permeable pipe 521 during use, prevents the problem of air pressure imbalance in the liquid storage chamber 520a caused by the position change of the air permeable pipe 521, thereby improving the control of the liquid level in the humidifying chamber 510d, avoiding abnormal fluctuations in the liquid level of the liquid storage chamber 520a, and further avoiding poor humidifying effect of the humidifying member 530 on the air flow due to abnormal fluctuations in the liquid level of the humidifying chamber 510d.
[0112] Exemplarily, referring to Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the support base 523a is connected to the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage member 520. The support base 523a has a certain height. In this way, when impurities in the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 520a accumulate, due to the provision of the support base 523a, the height of the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 is higher than the impurity layer deposited at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 520a, which can avoid clogging of the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 by impurities and ensure the smooth flow path of the liquid. The support rod 523b is arranged above the support base 523a, and at least part of the support rod 523b extends into the air permeable pipe 521. In this way, the support rod 523b can effectively support the air permeable pipe 521, avoid tilting or displacement of the air permeable pipe 521 caused by liquid impact, and ensure that the air permeable pipe 521 is always in the preset position. In addition, since the support member occupies a small bottom area, it is more convenient to clean the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 520a, and it is easy to remove the accumulated impurities.
[0113] As an implementable embodiment, along the width direction of the storage box, the air permeable pipe 521 is located at the center line of the liquid storage member 520. The width direction of the storage box refers to Figure 6 the direction shown by Y in
[0114] . The air permeable pipe 521 is located at the center line of the liquid storage member 520, which can ensure more uniform air pressure distribution in the liquid storage chamber 520a and avoid the problem of too high or too low local air pressure. Figure 6 In some embodiments, along the length direction of the storage box, the air permeable pipe 521 is located at the center line of the liquid storage member 520. The length direction of the storage box refers to
[0115] In some other embodiments, along the length direction of the storage box, the air permeable pipe 521 is located at the center line of the liquid storage cavity 520a and is centered in the width direction. In this way, the position design of the air permeable pipe 521 at the center line helps to balance the liquid flow in the liquid storage cavity 520a, avoid the problems of liquid accumulation or poor flow on one side, and ensure that the humidifying member 530 can continuously obtain liquid supply.
[0116] As an implementable embodiment, the humidifying member 530 extends along the width direction and the height direction of the storage box, that is, extends along the Figure 6 plane formed by the directions shown by X and Z in the figure. The two ends of the humidifying member 530 along the length direction of the storage box are respectively connected to the side plates 511 of the housing 510.
[0117] The humidifying member 530 divides the humidifying cavity 510d into a first humidifying cavity 510e and a second humidifying cavity 510f. The first humidifying cavity 510e is located on the side close to the opening in the humidifying cavity 510d. The first humidifying cavity 510e is communicated with the humidifying liquid inlet. The second humidifying cavity 510f is communicated with the humidifying air outlet.
[0118] Exemplarily, during the humidifying process of the humidifying assembly 500, the fan 542 is started. The fan 542 guides the air flow in the storage room to the fan installation cavity 541a through the fan air inlet 541b; subsequently, the air flow in the fan installation cavity 541a flows into the first humidifying cavity 510e through the fan air outlet 541c. Then, the humidifying member 530 humidifies the air flow; subsequently, the humidified air flow enters the second humidifying cavity 510f, flows to the exhaust cavity 510g through the humidifying air outlet, and is finally discharged through the exhaust cavity 510g. By connecting the two ends of the humidifying member 530 along the length direction of the storage box to the side plates 511 of the housing 510 respectively, the humidifying cavity 510d is divided into a first humidifying cavity 510e and a second humidifying cavity 510f. The first humidifying cavity 510e is responsible for the entry and preliminary humidification of the liquid, and the second humidifying cavity 510f is responsible for the discharge of the gas, ensuring that the gas can be discharged smoothly and reducing the possibility of gas retention and blockage. At the same time, since the two ends of the humidifying member 530 along the length direction of the storage box are respectively connected to the side plates 511 of the housing 510, it is ensured that all the air flows entering the first humidifying cavity 510e are humidified by the humidifying member 530, improving the humidity uniformity of the air flow. The uniform humidifying effect of the humidifying cavity 510d, that is, the humidifying member 530, ensures the humidity stability in the storage room and avoids the problems of too high or too low humidity in local areas.
[0119] Exemplarily, along the length direction of the storage box, the opposite ends of the humidifying member 530 are connected to the side plate 511 of the housing 510 by pasting sponges. The side plate 511 of the housing 510 provides stable support for the humidifying member 530, preventing the humidifying member 530 from shaking and shifting during use. At the same time, as a part of the internal support structure, the humidifying member 530 helps to improve the compressive and anti-deformation capabilities of the humidifying assembly 500.
[0120] Exemplarily, the humidifying member 530 includes humidifying fibers 531. The part of the humidifying fibers 531 close to the bottom of the humidifying chamber 510d is located below the liquid level of the humidifying part, that is, the height of the bottom end of the humidifying fibers 531 is lower than the height of the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521. In this way, the humidifying fibers 531 can fully absorb the liquid in the humidifying chamber 510d, ensuring the high efficiency and continuity of the humidifying effect. The humidifying fibers 531 suck the liquid from the bottom to the top through capillary action to ensure that the air flow can be humidified at all positions of the humidifying fibers 531, improving the humidifying efficiency. At the same time, on the basis of the air flow driven by the fan assembly 540, the humidifying fibers 531 can effectively absorb the liquid and uniformly release the humidified air flow, preventing water vapor from accumulating in the humidifying chamber 510d and ensuring the stability of the humidifying effect. The top of the humidifying fibers 531 is fixedly connected to the top of the humidifying chamber 510d to ensure that the fibers maintain a stable position in the humidifying chamber 510d, preventing the humidifying fibers 531 from moving or falling off in the humidifying chamber 510d and improving the safety and reliability of the humidifying assembly 500.
[0121] As an implementable embodiment, a humidifying air inlet pipe 537 is provided at the bottom of the humidifying part. The top end of the humidifying air inlet pipe 537 is higher than the bottom end of the air permeable pipe 521 and is communicated with the first humidifying chamber 510e. In this way, it is prevented that the liquid enters the fan assembly 540 through the humidifying air inlet pipe 537, avoiding the liquid entering the fan assembly 540 and causing damage or performance degradation of the fan assembly 540. The bottom end of the humidifying air inlet pipe 537 is communicated with the fan air outlet 541c of the fan assembly 540. The air flow is introduced into the humidifying chamber 510d through the fan air outlet 541c of the fan assembly 540, and the air flow enters the first humidifying chamber 510e through the humidifying air inlet pipe 537, which helps to evenly distribute the air flow and ensure the humidifying effect.
[0122] In a second aspect, the storage box includes a box body 100, an inner container and a humidifying assembly 500. The box body 100 has an opening and a cavity. The opening is communicated with the cavity. The inner container is located in the cavity. The inner container forms a storage cavity. Among them, the storage chamber formed by the inner container is used for storing cigars. The humidifying assembly 500 is arranged in the cavity. The humidifying assembly 500 is arranged close to the bottom of the cavity. The humidifying assembly 500 is used for humidifying the storage cavity to maintain the humidity of the cigar storage environment, preventing the cigars from drying or being over-wet, thereby ensuring the quality of the cigars.
[0123] The humidifying component 500 includes a liquid storage member 520, a humidifying part, an air duct, a fan assembly 540, a humidifying member 530, and a breather tube 521. The liquid storage member 520 is used to supply liquid to the humidifying part; the humidifying part has a humidifying air outlet; the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet, and both the air inlet and the air outlet are communicated with the storage cavity; the fan assembly 540 is used to suck the air flow in the storage cavity into the air duct through the air inlet and discharge the air flow from the air outlet to the storage cavity; the humidifying air outlet converges into the air duct so that the humidified air flow from the humidifying part is discharged from the air outlet of the air duct to the storage cavity. The humidifying member 530 is located in the humidifying cavity of the humidifying part; the humidifying member 530 extends along the height direction of the humidifying component 500; the breather tube 521 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 520a, and along the height direction of the humidifying component 500, the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the breather tube 521 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the bottom end of the humidifying member 530 is located; the top end of the breather tube 521 is communicated with the atmosphere.
[0124] Exemplarily, by fixedly installing the humidifying member 530 on the housing 510, the position of the humidifying member 530 will not change. At the same time, the humidifying member 530 has a constant humidifying area, and the height of the humidifying member 530 immersed in the liquid in the humidifying cavity 510d is fixed, ensuring the stability of the humidifying effect of the humidifying member 530. At the same time, the breather tube 521 is arranged based on the working principle of a Mariotte bottle, and the liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d is always flush with the liquid level at the bottom end of the breather tube 521 in the liquid storage cavity 520a. The liquid level in the humidifying cavity 510d is always flush with the liquid level at the bottom end of the breather tube 521. The height of the humidifying member 530 immersed in the humidifying cavity 510d is fixed, and the effective humidifying area of the humidifying member 530 above the liquid level is always fixed, realizing the stability of the amount of evaporated liquid per unit time in the humidifying cavity 510d, thereby ensuring the stability of the humidity of the air flow humidified by the humidifying member 530, achieving a stable humidity level in the storage room, reducing the humidity fluctuation of the storage box, and preventing the cigars from drying or being overly humid.
