[0019] See Figure 1-5 As shown, a dry and ventilated laboratory medicine cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, with multiple storage drawers 2 inside the cabinet body 1 and slidably connected by slide rails. Multiple fans 3 are installed on the inner wall of the cabinet body 1. Multiple ventilation holes 4 are opened on the storage drawers 2. A drying box 5 is installed at the bottom inside the cabinet body 1. The drying box 5 includes a housing 51 connected to the cabinet body 1. Multiple ventilation holes 52 are provided through the housing 51. A discharge pipe 53 and a feed pipe 54 are installed on one side of the housing 51, and the discharge pipe 53 and feed pipe 54 are L-shaped. The cabinet 51 is filled with desiccant granules. The cabinet body 1 is hinged to one side with a cabinet door 6. A humidity detection device 7 is installed on one side of the cabinet door 6. The storage drawers 2 are installed inside the cabinet body 1 by pulling them out. Each storage drawer 2 has three fans on one side. The ventilation holes 4 are for the moisture in each storage drawer 2 to be absorbed by the desiccant granules through the ventilation holes 4 and the air vents 52. When the desiccant granules are saturated, the desiccant granules in the drying box 5 can be sucked out by connecting an external vacuum cleaner to the discharge pipe 53.

[0020] A transparent observation window 61 is installed on the cabinet door 6 of the medicine cabinet; this facilitates observation of the condition of the cabinet door 6 and ensures that the screen of the humidity detector 72 in the humidity detection device 7 can be directly seen.

[0021] The humidity detection device 7 includes a box body 71, inside which a humidity detector 72 is installed. A box cover 73 is installed on the box body 71. The box cover 73 is a transparent acrylic sheet. Strong magnets 74 are installed at the four corners of the box cover 73 and the box body 71. The box cover 73 is located outside the transparent observation window 61, and the box body 71 and the humidity detector 72 are located inside the transparent observation window 61. The box cover 73 and the box body 71 are attracted to each other by the strong magnets 74. Several strip holes 75 are opened on one side of the box body 71. The humidity detection device 7 can detect the humidity and temperature inside the medicine cabinet body 1. The box cover 73 is magnetically connected to the box body 71, which facilitates replacement when the internal humidity detector 72 is damaged. The transparent acrylic sheet ensures that the screen of the humidity detector 72 can be directly seen.

[0022] The fan 42 automatically adjusts its speed based on the data from the humidity detector 72, making daily use more convenient and eliminating the need for frequent manual checks and adjustments.

[0023] The bottom of the medicine cabinet body 1 is equipped with casters 8 to facilitate the movement of the medicine cabinet body 1.

[0024] Working Principle: The fan 42 draws air out of the medicine cabinet body 1. When the air pressure inside the medicine cabinet body 1 is lower than the external air pressure, outside air will naturally enter the space through gaps in the door to compensate for the pressure difference. Fresh outside air continuously flows in while old air is drawn out, thus constantly refreshing the indoor air and achieving ventilation. The desiccant particles in the drying box 5 absorb moisture from the medicine cabinet body 1. Multiple ventilation holes 52 on the surface of the box 51 and ventilation holes 4 on the storage drawers 2 ensure that the desiccant particles in the drying box 5 can efficiently absorb moisture from the medicine cabinet body 1, ensuring that each storage drawer 2 can absorb moisture. When the desiccant particles are saturated, an external vacuum cleaner connected to the discharge pipe 53 can remove the desiccant particles from the drying box 5. New desiccant particles are then placed into the drying box 5 through the inlet pipe 54. The humidity detection device 7 can detect the humidity and temperature inside the medicine cabinet body 1. The box cover 73 is magnetically connected to the box body 71, facilitating replacement when the internal humidity detector 72 is damaged.
