[0002] Bathroom mirror cabinets are a common piece of furniture in modern bathroom renovations. They combine the functions of a mirror and a storage cabinet, providing convenience for daily use and increasing bathroom storage space. Here is some important information about bathroom mirror cabinets: Types: Bathroom mirror cabinets are mainly divided into wall-mounted and floor-standing types. Wall-mounted mirror cabinets require a load-bearing wall or a solid brick wall for easy cleaning, while floor-standing mirror cabinets are not limited by wall type, but the bottom is difficult to clean and prone to moisture. Materials: Bathroom mirror cabinets are made of various materials, including solid wood, stainless steel, and glass. When choosing, the humidity level of the bathroom should be considered. For example, solid wood is not suitable for damp bathrooms. Functions: Depending on different needs, bathroom mirror cabinets can be double-door, sliding, or single-door. The layout of the internal space is also important and should be chosen according to commonly used toiletries.

[0003] Currently, existing wall-mounted bathroom mirror cabinets with lighting functions generally have an electrical box installed inside, where the control switches and fuses are also installed. However, since bathrooms are generally humid, moisture will enter the bathroom mirror cabinet and seep into the electrical box, affecting the normal use of the circuit components inside. Based on this, a circuit component protection device for bathroom mirror cabinets is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple and reasonably designed circuit component protection device for bathroom mirror cabinets in order to solve the above problems.

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0020] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a circuit component protection device for a bathroom mirror cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door 2, a mirror 3, a shelf 4, and an electrical box 5. The cabinet door 2 is installed on the front of the cabinet body 1, and the mirror 3 is installed on the cabinet body 1. A touch switch is installed on the mirror 3, and lighting is installed around the mirror 3. The touch switch is used to control the lighting (the touch switch and lighting are existing technologies and are not shown in the figure, so they will not be described in detail). The shelf 4 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet body 1, and the electrical box 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mirror 3. The top of the electrical box 5 has multiple vent holes 6, and a one-way valve is installed in each vent hole 6, so that the gas inside the electrical box 5 can only be discharged through the vent holes 6. The bottom of the electrical box 5 has multiple air inlets 7, which allow air to enter. A one-way valve is installed in the inlet 7, allowing outside air to enter the electrical box 5 only through the inlet 7. Furthermore, the reason for placing the inlet 7 at the bottom and the outlet 6 at the top is that humid air containing moisture tends to settle more easily. Placing the inlet 7 at the bottom effectively prevents humid air from entering the electrical box 5. A baffle 8 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1, located at the top of the electrical box 5. A guide block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1. An exhaust port 10 is opened at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a one-way valve is installed inside the exhaust port 10, allowing gas and water inside the cabinet 1 to be discharged only through the exhaust port 10. The guide blocks 9 are located on both sides of the exhaust port 10. A ventilation mechanism is installed inside the cabinet 1.

[0021] When in use, opening cabinet door 2 allows cosmetics, toiletries, etc. to be placed in shelf 4. When lighting is needed, touching the touch switch will turn on the lights installed around cabinet mirror 3 to provide illumination for the user.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation mechanism includes an exhaust pipe 11 fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1. A mounting bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the exhaust pipe 11. A motor 13 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket 12. A rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13. The rotating shaft 14 passes through the mounting bracket 12 and is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 12. A fan blade 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 14. An electric heating mesh 16 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the exhaust pipe 11. The fan blade 15 is located below the electric heating mesh 16. The rotating shaft 14 passes through the electric heating mesh 16. A drying mechanism is mounted on the top of the rotating shaft 14. A baffle 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the exhaust pipe 11. The drying mechanism includes an exhaust pipe fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 14 by a fixing bolt 19. The bottom of the suction cage 18 is attached to the top of the cabinet 1. A dehumidifying plate 20 is inserted into the bottom of the suction cage 18. The dehumidifying plate 20 is filled with desiccant and has multiple through holes to facilitate air circulation. The bottom of the dehumidifying plate 20 is attached to the top of the baffle 17. The rotating shaft 14 passes through the dehumidifying plate 20 and is attached to it. The side wall of the suction cage 18 above the dehumidifying plate 20 is set as a filter screen. A cleaning rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1. The cleaning rod 21 is attached to the outer surface of the suction cage 18. When the dehumidifying plate 20 needs to be replaced, the fixing bolt 19 is unscrewed, the suction cage 18 can be removed, and then the dehumidifying plate 20 can be replaced. The operation is simple and quick.

[0023] When the internal cavity of cabinet 1 needs to be dried, the electric heating grid 16 and motor 13 are activated. Motor 13 will drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the fan blades 15 to rotate. The fan blades 15 will draw air from top to bottom. The outside air is first filtered by the filter part of the air extraction cage 18, and then dried by the desiccant in the dehumidification plate 20. The clean and dry air will be heated by the electric heating grid 16, and the heated clean and dry air will enter the cabinet 1 through the air extraction pipe 11, acting on the cabinet mirror 3. The heating cabinet mirror 3 prevents water vapor from condensing on its outer surface, thus ensuring the mirror's function. The water vapor is then discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 10, replacing the gas inside the cabinet 1 and reducing the moisture content of the gas inside the cabinet 1. This prevents moisture from seeping into the electrical box 5. When water droplets condense inside the cabinet 1 where the cabinet mirror 3 is installed, the baffle 8 prevents the water droplets from entering the electrical box 5. The water droplets will flow downwards and be guided to the exhaust port 10 through the guide block 9, and then discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 10.

[0024] During this process, clean and dry air entering the cabinet 1 will enter the electrical box 5 through the air inlet 7 at the bottom of the electrical box 5, heating the humid gas inside the electrical box 5, making the inside of the electrical box 5 relatively dry, preventing moisture from seeping into the components. The gas entering the electrical box 5 will be discharged through the air outlet 6 at the top of the electrical box 5, replacing the gas inside the electrical box 5, which provides good protection for the internal components of the electrical box 5 and extends the service life of the internal components of the electrical box 5.

[0025] At the same time, the rotation of the shaft 14 will drive the suction cage 18 to rotate, so that the cleaning rod 21 cleans the outer surface of the suction cage 18, avoiding the blockage of the suction cage 18 from affecting the ventilation and drying efficiency.

[0026] In addition, it should be noted that the electric heating mesh 16 and the motor 13 are not to be operated continuously, but only to be activated when the internal cavity of the cabinet 1 needs to be dried.

[0027] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
