When placing food inside a food warmer, the position of the food warmer's partitions needs to be frequently adjusted to accommodate food of different heights. This brings inconvenience to people when using the food warmer. In addition, the food inside the warmer easily evaporates moisture, making the interior of the warmer relatively humid, prone to bacterial growth, and not conducive to food preservation. Therefore, a food warmer with a vapor absorption structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

The end of the rotating shaft 207 away from the forward and reverse motor 205 is rotatably connected to the interior of the movable frame 204, and the gear 206 is meshed with the rack 203. In the above scheme, by starting the forward and reverse motor 205, the rotating shaft 207 and the gear 206 are driven to rotate. Under the meshing action of the gear 206 and the rack 203, the movable frame 204 can be moved up and down inside the fixed frame 201, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the first partition 4 and the second partition 6, so as to facilitate the placement and storage of foods of different shapes and sizes.

[0035] A condensing device 13 is provided inside the condensing box 3. Both ends of the condensing device 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the condensing box 3. A fixing plate 14 is fixed to the side of the condensing box 3 away from the thermal insulation cabinet shell 1. An exhaust fan 15 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing plate 14. The input end of the exhaust fan 15 is connected to the condensing box 3, and the air inlet end of the condensing box 3 is connected to the interior of the thermal insulation cabinet shell 1.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5, the two movable frames 204 are fixed with a first slide rail 5 on the side close to each other, and a first partition 4 slides inside the two first slide rails 5, and two groups of second slide rails 27 are fixed to the inner wall of the thermal insulation cabinet shell 1, and a second partition 6 slides inside each group of second slide rails 27. The first partition 4 and the second partition 6 are both provided with equidistantly arranged air holes 7.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 An air outlet pipe 8 is embedded in the interior of the insulation cabinet shell 1. The top of the air outlet pipe 8 extends to the upper surface of the insulation cabinet shell 1. A cannula 9 is inserted into the top of the air outlet pipe 8. A hose 10 is fixed to the top of the cannula 9. The other end of the hose 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the condensation box 3. The insulation cabinet shell 1 and the condensation box 3 are connected through the air outlet pipe 8, the cannula 9 and the hose 10.

[0038] A socket 11 is fixed to one side of the heat preservation cabinet housing 1 close to the condensation box 3, and a connector 12 is fixed to one side of the condensation box 3 close to the heat preservation cabinet housing 1.

The control switch 18 controls the operation of the exhaust fan 15 to extract water vapor from the inside of the insulation cabinet shell 1. When the water vapor passes through the condensing device 13, it will liquefy and condense into small water droplets. The small water droplets will flow downward and gather together due to their own gravity, and finally flow to the bottom of the condensation box 3.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heat preservation cabinet shell 1 includes an outer shell plate 21, a heat preservation layer 20 and an inner heat-resistant plate 19.

[0045] A plurality of universal wheels 26 are provided at the bottom of the thermal insulation cabinet housing 1 to facilitate the movement of the thermal insulation cabinet 1 .

[0046] When the utility model is in use: first, according to the size and shape of the food, the forward and reverse motors 205 in the two adjustment mechanisms 2 are controlled by the control switch 18 to operate, driving the rotating shaft 207 and the gear 206 to rotate, so that the gear 206 and the rack 203 are meshed, driving the movable frame 204 to move up and down inside the fixed frame 201, and enabling the first partition 4 between the two fixed frames 201 to move up and down, making it easy to adjust the distance between the first partition 4 and the second partition 6, thereby facilitating the storage of foods of different shapes and sizes;

[0047] When storing food, exhaust fan 15 draws water vapor from inside cabinet housing 1 into condenser chamber 3. The water vapor encounters condenser 13 inside condenser chamber 3, where it is cooled and liquefied into liquid water, which accumulates at the bottom of condenser chamber 3. This keeps the interior of cabinet housing 1 dry, preventing bacterial growth and facilitating food preservation. Furthermore, the water level inside condenser chamber 3 can be observed through transparent panel 17. When water accumulates excessively, it can be drained through drain pipe 16.
