Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of humidifying devices, and particularly to a storage box. Background Art

[0002] A storage box, such as a storage box or a cigar cabinet, etc., is used to store items and provide appropriate temperature and humidity for the stored items to extend the storage time of the items.

[0003] In the related art, a storage box includes a box body, an inner liner and a humidifying device. The inner liner is arranged in the box body, and the inner liner defines a storage cavity for storing items. The humidifying device is arranged in the box body, and the air outlet of the humidifying device is communicated with the storage cavity. When the humidifying device works, air with a set humidity is conveyed into the storage cavity through the air outlet to realize the adjustment of the air humidity in the storage cavity.

[0004] However, when the humidifying device is not working, the wet air in the humidifying device still enters the storage cavity through the air outlet. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a storage box, which can solve the technical problem that the wet air in the humidifying device still flows into the storage cavity when the humidifying device is not working in the related storage box.

[0006] The embodiments of the present application provide a storage box, including:

[0007] A box body having a cavity;

[0008] An inner liner located in the cavity, and the inner liner forms a storage cavity;

[0009] A humidifying device arranged in the cavity for humidifying the storage cavity; the humidifying device includes:

[0010] A housing configured with an installation cavity and a humidifying cavity;

[0011] The humidifying cavity has an air outlet for communicating the humidifying cavity and the storage cavity;

[0012] A water box arranged in the installation cavity, and the inner cavity of the water box is communicated with the humidifying cavity to supply water to the humidifying cavity;

[0013] A fan arranged in the housing, and the fan is configured to make the air in the humidifying cavity and the storage cavity circulate;

[0014] A flipping member rotatably arranged on the housing, and the flipping member is configured to: when the fan works, open the air outlet under the action of the wind force of the fan; when the fan stops working, close the air outlet under the action of its own gravity.

[0015] In the storage box according to the embodiments of the present application, when the fan is operating, the flipping member rotates under the action of the wind force of the fan and opens the air outlet, so that the moist air of the humidifying device can enter the storage chamber through the air outlet to humidify the storage chamber; when the fan stops operating, the flipping member rotates under the action of its own gravity and closes the air outlet, and overcomes the small air flow at the air outlet by its own gravity, so that the flipping member can still maintain the closed state of the air outlet under the influence of the small air flow, making it difficult for the moist air in the humidifying device to enter the storage cavity through the air outlet when the fan stops operating.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the flipping member is arranged outside the humidifying cavity;

[0017] The flipping member includes a flap, the flap is rotatably arranged relative to the housing, and the flap is configured to: when the fan is operating, rotate in a set direction under the action of the wind force of the fan and open the air outlet; when the fan stops operating, rotate in the opposite direction of the set direction under the action of the gravity of the flipping member and cover the side of the air outlet facing away from the humidifying cavity.

[0018] With such a setting, the structure of the flap is simple and it is easy to process and manufacture.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the flap has a hinged end and a movable end, the hinged end is rotatably arranged relative to the housing, and the movable end rotates around the hinged end to open or close the air outlet;

[0020] The flipping member further includes a counterweight, the counterweight is arranged at the hinged end of the flap, the counterweight is rotatably arranged relative to the housing, the center of gravity of the counterweight and the center of gravity of the flap are located on both sides of the vertical plane passing through the axis of the rotating shaft, and the torque of the counterweight rotating around the rotating shaft is less than the torque of the flap rotating around the rotating shaft.

[0021] With such a setting, when the fan is operating, the counterweight can provide assistance for the flipping member to rotate the flipping member around the rotating shaft in the set direction, thereby reducing the wind force required to open the air outlet, reducing the energy consumption and noise of the fan.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the counterweight includes a connecting arm and a counterweight portion, one end of the connecting arm is arranged at the hinged end, and the counterweight portion is arranged at the end of the connecting arm away from the hinged end.

[0023] With such a setting, the length of the force arm of the entire counterweight can be increased through the connecting arm. When the value of the torque of the counterweight remains unchanged, the gravity of the required counterweight can be reduced, thereby reducing the mass of the required counterweight portion and reducing the consumption of materials for the counterweight portion.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the counterweight portion includes a counterweight rod, and the axis of the counterweight rod is parallel to the axis of rotation of the flipping member.

[0025] With such a setting, on the one hand, the occupied space of the counterweight rod in the radial direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the occupied space of the flipping component; on the other hand, the axis of the counterweight rod is parallel to the rotation axis of the flipping component, making the torques at various positions along the axial direction of the counterweight rod approximately the same, reducing the variation range of the force exerted by the counterweight on the hinge end along the axial direction, improving the stability of the assistance of the counterweight to the flipping component, and improving the stability of the flipping component when rotating relative to the housing.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the flipping component further includes a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the housing, and both the flap and the counterweight are fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft.

[0027] With such a setting, when assembling the flipping component and the housing, only the rotating shaft and the housing need to be rotatably assembled, which simplifies the assembly structure between the flap component and the housing.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, a protruding portion is formed on the side of the flap facing the air outlet, and the protruding portion protrudes from the flap towards the air outlet;

[0029] When the flap covers the air outlet, at least part of the protruding portion extends into the air outlet.

[0030] With such a setting, the protruding portion can improve the structural strength of the flap, making the flap not easily deformed. The protruding portion can also increase the surface area of the windward side of the flap, increasing the flow path of the air flowing along the protruding portion to the edge of the air outlet, reducing the energy of the air flowing to the edge of the air outlet, making the air not easily flow out from the gap between the flap and the edge of the air outlet, and reducing the possibility of the air flow in the humidification chamber flowing into the storage chamber.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying device further includes a humidifying component, the humidifying component is arranged in the humidification chamber, the humidifying component has water absorption and air permeability, and part of the humidifying component is arranged below the liquid level of the humidification chamber;

[0032] The humidifying component divides the part above the liquid level of the humidification chamber into a first humidification chamber and a second humidification chamber, the first humidification chamber is communicated with the outlet of the fan, and the second humidification chamber is communicated with the air outlet.

[0033] With such a setting, when the fan works, the air in the storage chamber flows through the inlet and outlet of the fan and then flows to the first humidification chamber, passes through the humidifying fiber above the liquid level of the humidification chamber and then flows to the second humidification chamber. When the air passes through the humidifying fiber, part of the water adsorbed by the humidifying fiber is carried away, increasing the humidity of the air. The wet air in the second humidification chamber flows from the air outlet to the storage chamber to humidify the storage chamber. The humidifying fiber increases the contact area between the air and the water, thereby improving the humidifying efficiency of the humidifying device for the storage chamber.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the humidifying component includes a bracket and humidifying fibers. The bracket is formed with a mounting frame, and the humidifying fibers are disposed within the mounting frame.

[0035] With such an arrangement, the mounting frame reduces the shielding of the bracket on the windward side and the leeward side of the humidifying fibers, and improves the flow rate of air when it flows through the humidifying fibers.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing is further configured with an exhaust cavity, which communicates with the humidifying cavity through the air outlet when the flipping component opens the air outlet;

[0037] The exhaust cavity has an exhaust port, and the exhaust port communicates with the storage cavity.

[0038] With such an arrangement, the exhaust cavity collects the airflow discharged from the air outlet and discharges it into the storage cavity through the exhaust port, improving the stability of the airflow conveyed from the exhaust port to the storage cavity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0086] Regarding the storage box in the related art, there is a technical problem that when the humidifying device does not work, the wet air in the humidifying device will still enter the storage cavity through the air outlet. The embodiment of this application provides a storage box. By arranging a flipping component at the air outlet of the humidifying cavity, when the fan of the humidifying device works, the flipping component rotates and opens the air outlet under the action of the wind force of the fan, so that the wet air of the humidifying device can enter the storage room through the air outlet to humidify the storage room; when the fan stops working, the flipping component rotates and closes the air outlet under the action of its own gravity, and overcomes the small air flow at the air outlet by its own gravity, so that the flipping component can still maintain the closed state of the air outlet under the influence of the small air flow, so that when the fan stops working, it is difficult for the wet air in the humidifying device to enter the storage cavity through the air outlet.

[0087] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0088] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the "front side" refers to the side facing the user when the storage box is in normal use. The "rear side" refers to the side opposite to the front side, that is, the side facing away from the user when the storage box is in normal use. The "left side" refers to the side on the user's left hand when the storage box is in normal use. The "right side" refers to the side on the user's right hand when the storage box is in normal use.

[0089] The storage box of the embodiment of this application can be a refrigerator, a cigar cabinet or other humidifying devices that can be used to store items.

[0090] Reference Figure 1 , the storage box according to the embodiment of the present application may include a box body 110, and the box body 110 forms a cavity with an opening on the front side.

[0091] The storage box may further include an inner container 20, and the inner container 20 is disposed in the cavity. The inner container 20 may be configured with a storage cavity 210. The front part of the storage cavity 210 may have a pick-up opening 211, and the user may place items into the storage cavity 210 through the pick-up opening 211, or take out items from the storage cavity 210 through the pick-up opening 211.

[0092] The storage box may further include a door body 120, and the door body 120 may be rotatably connected to the box body 110 to open or close the storage cavity 210.

[0093] In an implementation where the storage box is a refrigerator, the storage box may include a refrigeration device, and the refrigeration device may be disposed in the box body 110 for providing cold to the storage cavity 210.

[0094] The storage box may further include a humidifying device 40, and the humidifying device 40 is disposed in the box body 110. The humidifying device 40 is used to humidify the storage cavity 210 to increase the air humidity in the storage cavity 210 and meet the humidity requirements for storing items in the storage cavity 210.

[0095] In some possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, reference Figure 1 , the box body 110 may include a front wall of the box located on the front side. The opening of the cavity is formed on the front wall of the box.

[0096] In some possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the storage box may further include a shelf 30, and the shelf 30 is disposed in the storage cavity 210 for placing items.

[0097] The number of the shelves 30 may be one or multiple. In an implementation where there are multiple shelves 30, the multiple shelves 30 may be arranged at intervals along the height direction Z of the storage box. The multiple shelves 30 can increase the overall size of the platform for placing items, so that the amount of items that can be stored in the storage box can be increased. The multiple shelves 30 are arranged at intervals along the height direction Z of the storage box, and can also improve the utilization rate of the space in the storage cavity 210.

[0098] The shelf 30 may be configured with ventilation holes 301, and the ventilation holes 301 can improve the air circulation above and below the shelf 30 and reduce the temperature or humidity difference above and below the shelf 30.

[0099] In some possible implementations of the embodiment of the present application, the humidifying device 40 may include a housing 50. The housing 50 is disposed in the box body 110. Exemplarily, referenceFigure 1 The housing 50 can be disposed between the bottom of the inner container 20 and the bottom wall of the box body 110. In this way, the housing 50 is located on the bottom wall of the box body 110, and the box body 110 can support the housing 50. Moreover, since the housing 50 is located at the bottom of the inner container 20, the height of the inner container 20 is higher than that of the housing 50, so that the inner container 20 is disposed at an upper position within the box body 110, reducing the degree of squatting when the user takes and places items in the storage cavity 210 and improving the comfort of the user when taking and placing items.

[0100] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 And Figure 4 The housing 50 can be configured with an installation cavity 510. The installation cavity 510 can be located at the front of the housing 50, that is, the installation cavity 510 is close to the front wall of the box.

[0101] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 An installation opening 511 can be formed on the front side of the installation cavity 510, that is, an installation opening 511 is formed on the side of the housing 50 close to the front wall of the box.

[0102] In some other embodiments, an installation opening 511 can be formed on the top of the installation cavity 510, and the installation opening 511 can communicate with the storage cavity 210.

[0103] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 4 The humidifying device 40 can include a water box 60 for storing water. The water box 60 is detachably disposed in the installation cavity 510 through the installation opening 511, so that the water box 60 can be removed from the installation cavity 510 to facilitate adding water to the water box 60.

[0104] In the implementation manner where the installation opening 511 is located on the front side of the installation cavity 510, reference Figure 4 The water box 60 is slidably disposed in the installation cavity 510 through the installation opening 511. When it is necessary to take out the water box 60 from the installation cavity 510 for adding water, the water box 60 can be directly pulled out from the installation cavity 510, which is convenient and fast.

[0105] In the implementation manner where the installation opening 511 is located on the top of the installation cavity 510, the water box 60 is installed in the installation cavity 510 from top to bottom through the installation opening 511. When it is necessary to take out the water box 60 from the installation cavity 510 for adding water, the water box 60 can be pulled out upward, which is convenient and fast.

[0106] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 4 The housing 50 can also be configured with a humidifying cavity 520.

[0107] In the implementation manner where the installation opening 511 is located on the front side of the installation cavity 510, reference Figure 4, the humidifying chamber 520 can be located on the side of the installation chamber 510 away from the front wall of the box, that is to say, the humidifying chamber 520 is located behind the installation chamber 510.

[0108] In the implementation where the installation opening 511 is located at the top of the installation chamber 510, the humidifying chamber 520 can be located at the bottom of the installation chamber 510.

[0109] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 , after the water tank 60 is arranged in the installation chamber 510, the water tank 60 is communicated with the humidifying chamber 520 to supply water to the humidifying chamber 520.

[0110] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the humidifying chamber 520 can have an air outlet 521, and the air outlet 521 is communicated with the storage chamber 210 so that the air in the humidifying chamber 520 and the storage chamber 210 is communicated.

[0111] The housing 50 can have a partition 530, and the partition 530 is located between the installation chamber 510 and the humidifying chamber 520. The installation chamber 510 and the humidifying chamber 520 can be separated by the partition 530.

[0112] The partition 530 can be provided with a humidifying docking member 540, and a liquid storage docking member 620 can be provided on the side of the water tank 60 facing the partition 530. When the humidifying docking member 540 and the liquid storage docking member 620 are docked, the water tank 60 is communicated with the humidifying chamber 520, and at this time, the water in the water tank 60 can flow into the humidifying chamber 520 through the liquid storage docking member 620 and the humidifying docking member 540 to supply water to the humidifying chamber 520.

[0113] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the humidifying docking member 540 can include a first pipe body 542, the first pipe body 542 is arranged on the partition 530, one end of the first pipe body 542 extends into the humidifying chamber 520 and is communicated with the humidifying chamber 520, and the other end of the first pipe body 542 extends outside the humidifying chamber 520.

[0114] The humidifying docking member 540 can include a first stop member 545, and the first stop member 545 is arranged at the end of the first pipe body 542 away from the water tank 60.

[0115] The humidifying docking member 540 can include a first sealing member 543, and the first sealing member 543 is movably arranged in the first pipe body 542.

[0116] The humidification docking member 540 may include a first spring 544 disposed between a first seal 543 and a first stopper 545, and the direction of the elastic force of the first spring 544 on the first seal 543 is from the first stopper 545 to the first seal 543.

[0117] Before the humidification docking member 540 and the liquid storage docking member 620 are docked, the first seal 543 is stopped and sealed at one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stopper 545 under the action of the elastic force of the first spring 544.

[0118] The liquid storage docking member 620 may include a second tube body 621 disposed on one side of the water box 60 facing the humidification docking member 540. One end of the second tube body 621 extends into the water box 60, and the other end of the second tube body 621 extends outside the water box 60.

[0119] The liquid storage docking member 620 may include a second stopper 624 disposed at one end of the second tube body 621 away from the partition 530.

[0120] The liquid storage docking member 620 may include a second seal 622 disposed inside the second tube body 621.

[0121] The liquid storage docking member 620 may include a second spring 623 disposed between the second seal 622 and the second stopper 624, and the direction of the elastic force of the second spring 623 on the second seal 622 is from the second stopper 624 to the second seal 622.

[0122] Before the liquid storage docking member 620 and the humidification docking member 540 are docked, the second seal 622 is stopped and sealed at one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stopper 624 under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 623.

[0123] After the humidification docking member 540 and the liquid storage docking member 620 are docked, one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stopper 545 and one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stopper 624 are nested with each other. One end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stopper 624 may be sleeved outside the first tube body 542. Alternatively, one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stopper 545 is sleeved outside the second tube body 621.

[0124] After the humidification docking member 540 and the liquid storage docking member 620 are docked, the first seal 543 and the second seal 622 abut against each other. The first seal 543 moves towards the first stop member 545 and opens one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop member 545. At this time, the first spring 544 is compressed; the second seal 622 moves towards the second stop member 624 and opens one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop member 624. At this time, the second spring 623 is compressed.

[0125] Since after the humidification docking member 540 and the liquid storage docking member 620 are docked, the first seal 543 opens one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop member 545, the second seal 622 opens one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop member 624, and one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop member 545 and one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop member 624 are nested with each other, the first tube body 542 and the second tube body 621 are conductively and sealingly connected. At this time, the water in the water box 60 can flow into the humidification chamber 520 through the second tube body 621 and the first tube body 542 to supply water to the humidification chamber 520.

[0126] When the water box 60 is pulled out from the installation cavity 510, when the liquid storage docking member 620 and the humidification docking member 540 are separated, the mutual acting force between the first seal 543 and the second seal 622 is released. The first seal 543 moves in the direction away from the first stop member 545 under the elastic force of the first spring 544, stops and seals one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop member 545, so that the water in the humidification chamber 520 is difficult to overflow from one end of the first tube body 542 away from the first stop member 545. The second seal 622 moves in the direction away from the second stop member 624 under the elastic force of the second spring 623, stops and seals one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop member 624, so that the water in the water box 60 is difficult to overflow from one end of the second tube body 621 away from the second stop member 624.

[0127] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 4 , the humidifying device 40 may further include a blower 70. The blower 70 is disposed in the housing 50. When the blower 70 operates, the air in the humidification chamber 520 and the air in the storage chamber 210 circulate.

[0128] In some embodiments, with reference to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6, the inlet 701 of the blower 70 can communicate with the storage chamber 210, the outlet 702 of the blower 70 can communicate with the humidification chamber 520, and the humidification chamber 520 communicates with the storage chamber 210 through the air outlet 521. When the blower 70 operates, the air in the storage chamber 210 flows through the inlet 701 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 to the humidification chamber 520. When the air flows through the humidification chamber 520, part of the moisture in the humidification chamber 520 is carried away, increasing the humidity of the air flowing out of the air outlet 521 of the humidification chamber 520. The humid air flows from the air outlet 521 into the storage chamber 210 to increase the air humidity in the storage chamber 210. Such a cycle is carried out to adjust the air humidity in the storage chamber 210.

[0129] The humid air flowing out of the humidification chamber 520 directly flows through the air outlet 521 to the storage chamber 210, which can reduce the degree of humidity reduction of the humid air during the process of flowing to the storage chamber 210.

[0130] In some other embodiments, the inlet 701 of the blower 70 can communicate with the humidification chamber 520, the outlet 702 of the blower 70 can communicate with the storage chamber 210, and the humidification chamber 520 communicates with the storage chamber 210 through the air outlet 521. When the blower 70 operates, the air in the storage chamber 210 flows through the air outlet 521 to the humidification chamber 520. When the air flows through the humidification chamber 520, part of the moisture in the humidification chamber 520 is carried away, increasing the humidity of the air flowing from the humidification chamber 520 to the inlet 701 of the blower 70. The humid air flows from the outlet 702 of the blower 70 into the storage chamber 210 to increase the air humidity in the storage chamber 210. Such a cycle is carried out to adjust the air humidity in the storage chamber 210.

[0131] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the humidifying device 40 may further include a humidifying component 90. The humidifying component 90 has water absorption and air permeability. Exemplarily, the humidifying component 90 may be a humidifying fiber 920 or a humidifying cotton, etc. The humidifying fiber 920 may be a fiber with water absorption and air permeability.

[0132] The humidifying component 90 is arranged in the humidification chamber 520. Part of the humidifying component 90 is arranged below the liquid level of the humidification chamber 520. The humidifying component 90 divides the humidification chamber 520 above the liquid level into a first humidification chamber 522 and a second humidification chamber 523.

[0133] The humidifying component 90 has water absorption. The humidifying component 90 below the liquid level of the humidification chamber 520 absorbs water and transports the water at the bottom of the humidifying component 90 upward to the humidifying component 90 above the liquid level of the humidification chamber 520.

[0134] Taking the humidifying fiber 920 as an example, there are many capillary structures in the humidifying fiber 920. When a part of the humidifying fiber 920 is immersed in water, under the action of the wetting effect and the capillary structure, the humidifying fiber 920 can quickly absorb water, and the water molecules rise in the capillary structure of the humidifying fiber 920, so that the humidifying fiber 920 above the liquid level is also adsorbed with moisture.

[0135] In an implementation manner where the humidifying component 90 includes the humidifying fiber 920, the humidifying component 90 may further include a bracket 910, and the bracket 910 is installed in the humidifying chamber 520. The bracket 910 is configured with an installation frame 911, and the humidifying fiber 920 is disposed within the installation frame 911. The installation frame 911 reduces the shielding of the bracket 910 on the windward side and the leeward side of the humidifying fiber 920, and improves the flow rate of air when flowing through the humidifying fiber 920.

[0136] In an implementation manner where the inlet 701 of the blower 70 is in communication with the storage chamber 210 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 is in communication with the humidifying chamber 520, the first humidifying chamber 522 may be in communication with the outlet 702 of the blower 70, and the second humidifying chamber 523 may be in communication with the air outlet 521.

[0137] When the blower 70 operates, the air in the storage chamber 210 flows through the inlet 701 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 and then flows to the first humidifying chamber 522, passes through the humidifying fiber above the liquid level of the humidifying chamber 520 and then flows to the second humidifying chamber 523. When the air passes through the humidifying fiber, it carries away part of the moisture adsorbed by the humidifying fiber, increasing the humidity of the air. The wet air in the second humidifying chamber 523 flows from the air outlet 521 to the storage chamber 210 to humidify the storage chamber 210. The humidifying fiber increases the contact area between the air and the moisture, thereby improving the humidifying efficiency of the humidifying device 40 for the storage chamber 210.

[0138] In an implementation manner where the humidifying component 90 includes a humidifying fiber, referring to Figure 4 , the humidifying component 90 may further include a bracket, an installation frame is formed on the bracket, the humidifying fiber is disposed within the installation frame, reducing the shielding of the bracket on the windward side and the leeward side of the humidifying fiber, and improving the flow rate of air when flowing through the humidifying fiber.

[0139] In an implementation manner where the inlet 701 of the blower 70 is in communication with the storage chamber 210 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 is in communication with the humidifying chamber 520, the housing 50 may further be configured with an exhaust chamber 550, and the exhaust chamber 550 is in communication with the humidifying chamber 520 through the air outlet 521 when the flipping member 80 opens the air outlet 521. The exhaust chamber 550 has an exhaust port 551, and the exhaust port 551 is in communication with the storage chamber 210. In an implementation manner where the housing 50 is disposed at the bottom of the inner container 20, the exhaust port 551 may be configured at the top of the housing 50.

[0140] The exhaust cavity 550 collects the airflow discharged from the air outlet 521 and discharges it from the exhaust port 551 into the storage cavity 210, improving the stability of the airflow transported from the exhaust port 551 into the storage cavity 210.

[0141] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the humidifying device 40 may further include a flipping member 80, and the flipping member 80 is rotatably disposed on the housing 50. When the blower 70 is operating, the flipping member 80 is opened at the air outlet 521 under the action of the wind force of the blower 70. When the blower 70 stops operating, the flipping member 80 closes the air outlet 521 under the action of its own gravity.

[0142] In the implementation manner where the inlet 701 of the blower 70 communicates with the storage cavity 210 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 communicates with the humidifying cavity 520, the flipping member 80 may be located outside the humidifying cavity 520, and the flipping member 80 covers the side of the air outlet 521 facing away from the humidifying cavity 520. When the blower 70 is operating, the air discharged from the blower 70 flows from the humidifying cavity 520 to the storage cavity 210. The air pressure on the side of the flipping member 80 facing the humidifying cavity 520 is greater than the air pressure on the side of the flipping member 80 facing away from the humidifying cavity 520. Under the action of the air pressure difference on both sides, the flipping member 80 rotates relative to the housing 50 to the side away from the humidifying cavity 520 and opens the air outlet 521, so that the air in the humidifying cavity 520 flows from the air outlet 521 into the storage cavity 210.

[0143] When the blower 70 stops operating, the air pressure difference on both sides of the flipping member 80 decreases, and the flipping member 80 overcomes the small airflow at the air outlet 521 through its own gravity, so that the flipping member 80 can still maintain the closed state of the air outlet 521 under the influence of the small airflow. When the blower 70 stops operating, it is difficult for the humid air in the humidifying cavity 520 to enter the storage cavity 210 through the air outlet 521, and it is difficult for the air in the humidifying cavity 520 to form a circulating flow path with the air in the storage cavity 210.

[0144] In the implementation manner where the inlet 701 of the blower 70 communicates with the humidifying cavity 520 and the outlet 702 of the blower 70 communicates with the storage cavity 210, the flipping member 80 may be located inside the humidifying cavity 520, and the flipping member 80 covers the side of the air outlet 521 close to the humidifying cavity 520. When the blower 70 is operating, the air discharged from the blower 70 flows from the storage cavity 210 to the humidifying cavity 520. The air pressure on the side of the flipping member 80 facing away from the humidifying cavity 520 is greater than the air pressure on the side of the flipping member 80 facing the humidifying cavity 520. Under the action of the air pressure difference on both sides, the flipping member 80 rotates relative to the housing 50 towards the humidifying cavity 520 and opens the air outlet 521, so that the air in the storage cavity 210 can flow from the air outlet 521 into the humidifying cavity 520.

[0145] When the fan 70 stops working, the air pressure difference on both sides of the flipping member 80 decreases. The flipping member 80 overcomes the small air flow at the air outlet 521 by its own gravity, so that the flipping member 80 can still maintain the closed state of the air outlet 521 under the influence of the small air flow. When the fan 70 stops working, it is difficult for the air in the storage cavity 210 to form a circulating flow path with the air in the humidifying cavity 520.

[0146] In the following embodiments, taking the inlet 701 of the fan 70 communicating with the storage cavity 210 and the outlet 702 of the fan 70 communicating with the humidifying cavity 520 as an example, the flipping member 80 will be further described.

[0147] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 9 , the flipping member 80 may include a rotating shaft 830 and a flap 810.

[0148] The flap 810 may have a hinged end 811, and the hinged end 811 may be rotatably arranged relative to the housing 50 through the rotating shaft 830.

[0149] The flap 810 may have a movable end 812, and the movable end 812 rotates around the rotating shaft 830 to open or cover the air outlet 521.

[0150] The air outlet 521 may be a long-strip air outlet 521. Correspondingly, the flap 810 may be a long-strip plate. The extending direction of the flap 810 may be the same as the extending direction of the air outlet 521, and the axis of the rotating shaft 830 may be the same as the extending direction of the air outlet 521 to improve the adaptability between the flap 810 and the air outlet 521.

[0151] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the rotating shaft 830 is rotatably arranged on the housing 50, and the hinged end 811 of the flap 810 may be fixedly arranged on the rotating shaft 830. The rotating shaft 830 rotates synchronously with the flap 810 to enable the flap 810 to open or cover the air outlet 521.

[0152] In other embodiments, the rotating shaft 830 may also be fixedly arranged on the housing 50, and the hinged end 811 of the flap 810 may be rotatably arranged relative to the rotating shaft 830. The flap 810 can rotate around the rotating shaft 830 to enable the flap 810 to open or cover the air outlet 521.

[0153] The structure of the flipping member 80 composed of the rotating shaft 830 and the flap 810 is simple and easy to assemble, simplifying the structure of the flipping member 80 and the storage box.

[0154] The flap 810 is configured to rotate in a set direction D under the action of the wind force of the fan 70 when the fan 70 is operating, and open the air outlet 521; when the fan 70 stops operating, it rotates in the opposite direction of the set direction D under the action of the gravity of the flipping member 80, and covers the side of the air outlet 521 facing away from the humidification chamber 520.

[0155] The structure of the flap 810 is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0156] The flap 810 can cover the air outlet 521 horizontally or obliquely (refer to Figure 9 ).

[0157] In the implementation mode where the flap 810 covers the air outlet 521 horizontally, the hinge end 811 and the movable end 812 can be respectively located at both ends of the flap 810 along the horizontal direction.

[0158] In the implementation mode where the flap 810 covers the air outlet 521 obliquely, refer to Figure 9 , the hinge end 811 is located above the movable end 812.

[0159] When the fan 70 is operating, the flap 810 rotates in the set direction D under the action of the wind force of the fan 70, and opens the air outlet 521.

[0160] When the fan 70 stops operating, the flap 810 rotates in the opposite direction of the set direction D around the rotating shaft 830 under the action of its own gravity, and covers the side of the air outlet 521 facing away from the humidification chamber 520, making it difficult for the air in the humidification chamber 520 to flow from the air outlet 521 into the storage chamber 210.

[0161] In some possible implementation modes of the embodiments of the present application, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the flipping member 80 may further include a counterweight 820, and the counterweight 820 may be disposed at the hinge end 811 of the flap 810.

[0162] The counterweight 820 is rotatably disposed relative to the housing 50.

[0163] In the implementation mode where the rotating shaft 830 is rotatably disposed in the housing 50 and the hinge end 811 of the flap 810 is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 830, refer to Figure 9 , the counterweight 820 may be fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 830, so that the counterweight 820 is indirectly disposed at the hinge end 811 of the flap 810 through the rotating shaft 830, and the whole formed by the flap 810, the rotating shaft 830 and the counterweight 820 is rotatably disposed relative to the housing 50 through the rotating shaft 830, and only the rotating shaft 830 and the housing 50 need to be rotatably assembled, which simplifies the assembly structure between the flap 810 component and the housing 50.

[0164] In the implementation where the rotating shaft 830 is fixedly arranged on the housing 50 and the hinged end 811 of the flap 810 is rotatably arranged relative to the rotating shaft 830, the counterweight 820 can be directly arranged at the hinged end 811 of the flap 810, so that the whole formed by the flap 810 and the counterweight 820 is rotatably arranged relative to the rotating shaft 830.

[0165] Reference Figure 9 , the center of gravity O2 of the counterweight 820 and the center of gravity O1 of the flap 810 are located on both sides of the vertical plane M passing through the axis of the rotating shaft 830, and the torque of the counterweight 820 rotating relative to the rotating shaft 830 is less than the torque of the flap 810 rotating relative to the rotating shaft 830. Exemplarily, the torque of the flap 810 rotating relative to the rotating shaft 830 is the product of the gravity G1 of the flap 810 and the lever arm L1 of the flap 810; the torque of the counterweight 820 rotating relative to the rotating shaft 830 is the product of the gravity G2 of the counterweight 820 and the lever arm L2 of the counterweight 820. G1*L1 > G2*L2. Therefore, the existence of the counterweight 820 will not change the normal operation of the flap 810. When the fan 70 is operating, the flap 810 rotates along the set direction D under the action of the wind force of the fan 70 and opens the air outlet 521; when the fan 70 stops operating, the flap 810 rotates along the opposite direction of the set direction D under the action of the gravity of the flipping member 80 and covers the side of the air outlet 521 away from the humidification chamber 520. Moreover, when the fan 70 is operating, the counterweight portion 822 can provide assistance for the flipping member 80 to rotate the flipping member 80 around the rotating shaft 830 along the set direction D, thereby reducing the wind force required to open the air outlet 521 and reducing the energy consumption and noise of the fan 70.

[0166] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the counterweight 820 may include a connecting arm 821, and the connecting arm 821 may be plate-shaped or rod-shaped. One end in the extending direction of the connecting arm 821 may be arranged close to the rotation axis of the flipping member 80.

[0167] The counterweight 820 may include a counterweight portion 822. The counterweight portion 822 is arranged at one end of the connecting arm 821 far from the rotation axis of the flipping member 80.

[0168] By the connecting arm 821, the length of the lever arm L2 of the whole counterweight 820 can be increased. When the value of G2*L2 remains unchanged, the gravity G2 of the required counterweight 820 can be reduced, thereby reducing the mass of the required counterweight portion 822 and reducing the material consumption of the counterweight portion 822.

[0169] In some embodiments, the counterweight portion 822 may be a counterweight rod, and the axis of the counterweight rod may be parallel to the rotation axis of the flipping member 80. On the one hand, it can reduce the occupied space of the counterweight rod in the radial direction, thereby reducing the occupied space of the flipping member 80; on the other hand, the axis of the counterweight rod is parallel to the rotation axis of the flipping member 80, making the torques at various positions along the axial direction of the counterweight rod substantially consistent, reducing the variation range of the force exerted by the counterweight member 820 on the hinge end 811 along the axial direction, improving the stability of the assistance of the counterweight member 820 to the flipping member 80, and improving the stability of the flipping member 80 when rotating relative to the housing 50.

[0170] In some other embodiments, the counterweight portion 822 may be a counterweight block. The structure of the counterweight block is simple and it is convenient for processing and manufacturing. The counterweight block is arranged at one end of the connecting arm 821 away from the rotation axis of the flipping member 80. The counterweight block may be arranged at the middle position of the flipping member 80 along the axis direction to improve the stability of the flipping member 80 when rotating relative to the housing 50.

[0171] In some possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 9 , a protruding portion 813 may be formed on the side of the flap 810 facing the air outlet 521, and the protruding portion 813 protrudes from the flap 810 towards the air outlet 521. The side of the flap 810 facing the air outlet 521 is the windward side of the flap 810. The protruding portion 813 can improve the structural strength of the flap 810 and make the flap 810 not easily deformed.

[0172] When the flap 810 covers the air outlet 521, at least part of the protruding portion 813 extends into the air outlet 521. When the fan 70 stops working, when the smaller air flow in the humidifying chamber 520 flows to the windward side of the flap 810, at least part of the air flow first flows to the protruding portion 813 and flows along the protruding portion 813 towards the edge of the air outlet 521. Since the protruding portion 813 increases the surface area of the windward side of the flap 810, the flow path of the air flow flowing along the protruding portion 813 to the edge of the air outlet 521 increases, reducing the energy of the air flow flowing to the edge of the air outlet 521, making it difficult for the air flow to flow out from the gap between the flap 810 and the edge of the air outlet 521, and reducing the possibility of the air flow in the humidifying chamber 520 flowing into the storage chamber 210.

[0173] In some other possible implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, the flipping member 80 may include a first rotating plate and a second rotating plate. Both the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are rotatably connected to the housing 50.

[0174] When the fan 70 stops working, the first rotating plate covers part of the air outlet 521 under the action of its own gravity, and the second rotating plate covers another part of the air outlet 521 under the action of its own gravity. The first rotating plate and the second rotating plate separate the humidifying chamber 520 and the storage chamber 210.

[0175] When the fan 70 is operating, the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate rotate relative to the housing 50 under the action of the wind force of the fan 70, and the air outlet 521 is opened so that the humidifying chamber 520 communicates with the storage chamber 210.

[0176] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
