If it is described as first, second, it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or the sequence of indicated technical features.

[0038] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as setting, mounting, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and the person skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application according to the specific content of the technical scheme.

[0039] In a low temperature environment, the humidity in the refrigeration equipment is often reduced to a low level, causing the evaporation of water on the surface of the goods, causing the goods to dry and the quality to decrease. The humidifying assembly increases the humidity inside the equipment by releasing water vapor or atomized water droplets, thereby maintaining the moisture state of the goods and preventing them from being damaged due to drying.

[0040] Taking a wine cabinet as an example, the humidifying assembly in the wine cabinet is a device designed to maintain a suitable humidity environment in the wine cabinet. Red wine, in particular, needs to be stored in a constant humidity environment, which can prevent the cork from drying out and the wine from evaporating, thereby maintaining the taste and quality of the wine. In short, the humidifying assembly of the wine cabinet is to ensure that the wine does not become stale due to a too dry environment.

[0041] The active humidifying type humidifying assembly generally includes a humidifying fan and a water storage tank, and the water storage tank is placed with water or humidifying materials such as volcanic rock and non-woven fabric. The humidifying fan is located at one end of the water storage tank and blows air towards the other end of the water storage tank, and the humidifying fan brings high-humidity air in the water storage tank to the wine cabinet. The design of the long strip-shaped water storage tank lengthens the length of the water storage tank, making the water surface area larger, which helps to increase the evaporation rate of water. During the humidification process, more water molecules can be exposed to the air, thereby accelerating evaporation.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 It can be understood that the refrigeration equipment includes a cabinet body 101, a refrigeration assembly, and a humidifying assembly 103, the cabinet body 101 is provided with a storage compartment 102 and an air supply duct 701 for supplying air flow to the storage compartment 102, the refrigeration assembly is used to provide a refrigeration environment for the storage compartment 102, and the refrigeration assembly is configured to generate a cooling air flow under control and to promote the cooling air flow to the storage compartment 102 through the air supply duct 701. That is, the refrigeration assembly is used to refrigerate the storage compartment 102. The humidifying assembly 103 is arranged in the cabinet body 101 and is configured to generate a high-humidity air flow under control and to deliver the high-humidity air flow to the storage compartment 102. It can be understood that the humidity in the high-humidity air flow is large, which can increase the humidity in the storage compartment 102.

[0043] It can be understood that the refrigeration equipment of the embodiments of the present application can be a refrigerator, a wine cabinet, or the like.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 103 comprises a water storage member 201 for storing water. For example, the water storage member 201 is a water box in which liquid is stored, and the top of the water box is open, so that the evaporation of water increases the humidity in the refrigeration equipment. The humidifying assembly 103 further comprises a fan 202 for sending air towards the water storage member 201, i.e. the fan 202 is provided with an air outlet 301 facing the water storage member 201. When the fan 202 is powered on, the relatively dry air is sucked into the fan 202 and accelerated to above the water storage member 201, and the dry air quickly passes through the liquid surface in the water storage member 201, and the air with high humidity on the liquid surface is quickly taken away to mix with the air in the storage compartment 102, thereby increasing the relative humidity in the storage compartment 102.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 103 further comprises a housing 203 comprising a base 204 provided with a first mounting groove 205 and a second mounting groove 206, and a partition 207 between the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206. The partition 207 is located at the bottom of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206, so that the bottoms of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206 cannot be connected, and the tops of the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206 can be connected. The fan 202 is arranged in the first mounting groove 205, and the water storage member 201 is arranged in the second mounting groove 206. When the water storage member 201 comprises a water box, the water box is integrally formed with the housing 203 and becomes a part of the housing 203. The water box can also be separately arranged in the second mounting groove 206, i.e. the water box can be an independent element.

[0046] It should be noted that the water storage member 201 can further comprise a humidifying material, which can be volcanic rock, non-woven fabric or other materials, i.e. the humidifying material can be a porous and dense structure water-absorbing material, the diameter and volume of the pores on the porous and dense structure water-absorbing material are smaller than those of a normally dripping water droplet, so that the water droplet cannot flow through the porous and dense structure water-absorbing material, and at the same time, air flow can pass through. After the fan 202 is started, the air flow blown by the fan 202 enters the second mounting groove 206 from above the partition 207, the dry air passes through the surface of the humidifying material, contacts the humidifying material and takes away the water stored in the humidifying material, thereby forming high-humidity air. The high-humidity air reaches the storage compartment 102 and mixes with the air, thereby increasing the relative humidity in the storage compartment 102. After the high-humidity air above the humidifying material is taken away, the humidifying material quickly absorbs the water at the bottom of the humidifying material and evaporates to the above (water vapor has small density), so that the air above the humidifying material maintains a high-humidity state.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the shell 203 further comprises a cover plate 208 connected to the base 204 and located above the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206, and a gap is formed between the cover plate 208 and the liquid surface of the humidifying material or the water box to form a humidifying channel. A plurality of air outlet holes 217 are arranged on the cover plate 208, and the high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of air outlet holes 217 respectively. Since the plurality of air outlet holes 217 are arranged in a direction away from the fan 202, the air outlet area of each air outlet hole 217 is small, so that the high-humidity air cannot flow out from the air outlet holes 217 close to the fan 202, and more high-humidity air will flow in a direction away from the fan 202, so as to carry away more moisture stored in the humidifying material, thereby improving the humidifying efficiency.

[0048] In other embodiments, the shell 203 can also be formed by combining a bottom plate and a cover, that is, the water storage member 201 and the fan 202 are mounted on the bottom plate, the cover is arranged on the outer periphery and the top surface of the water storage member 201 and the fan 202, and then connected and fixed with the bottom plate to seal the bottom surface of the water storage member 201 and the fan 202, thereby completing the installation and protection of the water storage member 201 and the fan 202.

[0049] Referring to Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the air outlet holes 217 can also be arranged on the side wall of the storage compartment 102, and the cabinet 101 is provided with an air outlet channel, one end of the air outlet channel being communicated with the humidifying assembly 103 and the other end being communicated with the air outlet holes 217. After the fan 202 is turned on, the airflow forms a high-humidity airflow above the water storage member 201, the high-humidity airflow flows along the air outlet channel, and flows into the storage compartment 102 from the air outlet holes 217, thereby increasing the humidity in the storage compartment 102. Arranging the air outlet holes 217 on the bottom of the storage compartment 102 may face some problems, such as the risk of the air outlet holes 217 being blocked. This usually occurs when the humidifying assembly 103 is placed near wine bottles or other objects, which may block the normal diffusion of humidity, resulting in uneven humidification or reduced efficiency. In addition, if the air outlet holes 217 are blocked, it may also cause other maintenance problems of the humidifying assembly 103. Since the air outlet holes 217 are arranged on the side wall of the storage compartment 102, the air outlet holes 217 are located at a higher position, and they are less likely to be blocked by wine bottles or other obstacles, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the humidifying assembly 103 and reducing the risk of the air outlet holes 217 being blocked when arranged on the layer plate 104.

[0050] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 comprises a barrel body 501 and a thermal insulation layer, the thermal insulation layer is wrapped on the outer layer of the barrel body 501, the inside of the barrel body 501 forms the storage compartment 102, and the air outlet channel is located between the thermal insulation layer and the barrel body 501. Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the cabinet body 101 comprises a first air duct 502, and the first air duct 502 defines an air outlet channel.

[0051] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the cabinet body 101 can also not be provided with the first air duct 502, that is, the air outlet channel can also be directly defined by the cabinet body 501 and the heat preservation layer, for example, a wind guide groove is arranged on the heat preservation layer, and a slot of the wind guide groove is attached to an outer surface of the cabinet body 501, so as to form the air outlet channel.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet body 101 comprises a layer plate 104, the layer plate 104 is arranged in a horizontal direction, the layer plate 104 separates the space in the cabinet body 101 to form different storage spaces, which is more convenient for classified storage, and the humidifying assembly 103 is installed on the layer plate 104. When the humidifying assembly 103 is used for a period of time, the water stored in the water storage member 201 is reduced and needs to be supplemented.

[0053] In the related art, the cover plate 208 is provided with an air suction port 209, and the fan 202 is provided with an air inlet 210, which is located directly below the air suction port 209. Since the water storage member 201 is close to the air suction port 209, when the user adds water to the water storage member 201, it is possible to misoperate to let the water splash out and then flow into the air suction port 209 and fall into the air inlet 210 of the fan 202, causing damage to the fan 202. It is also possible that the user may misoperate to cause wine or other liquids to splash on the layer plate 104 during use of the refrigeration device, so that the liquid enters the air suction port 209 along the layer plate 104 and then falls into the air inlet 210 of the fan 202, causing damage to the fan 202.

[0054] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that the refrigeration assembly comprises an evaporator 801, and in the related art, the humidifying assembly 103 is located below the evaporator 801. When the refrigeration device defrosts, defrosting water generated under the action of gravity falls to the humidifying assembly 103, which can supplement water for the humidifying assembly 103, so as to recover the defrosting water, effectively reducing the frequency of water addition by the user, and realizing recycling of the defrosting water.

[0055] Specifically, referring to Figure 2As shown, the cover plate 208 is provided with a water collecting groove 216 located below the evaporator 801 for collecting and guiding water flow, and the water collecting groove 216 collects the collected condensed water / defrosting water into a water flow and drains to the water storage member 201. For example, when the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the defrosting water generated falls to the water collecting groove 216 under the action of gravity, and the defrosting water is reused by returning to the water storage member 201 along the water collecting groove 216, which can effectively reduce the frequency of water addition by the user. The humidifying assembly 103 is also provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet is located at the bottom wall of the water collecting groove 216, and the water flow of the water collecting groove 216 falls into the inside of the water storage member 201 from the water inlet to supplement water for the water storage member 201.

[0056] By arranging the water collecting groove 216 below the evaporator 801, the condensed water generated by the evaporator 801 can be effectively collected and guided, and then the water resources are evaporated by the humidifying material to achieve the purpose of humidifying the air. This design not only improves the utilization rate of water resources, but also reduces the frequency of water addition by the user.

[0057] It can be understood that since the air inlet 209 is located at the top surface of the humidifying assembly 103, when the condensed water of the evaporator 801 falls, it may flow into the fan 202 from the air inlet 209, causing damage to the fan 202.

[0058] In the above related technologies, when the humidifying assembly 103 is supplemented with water, the fan 202 is easily damaged, and the main reason is that when the air inlet 210 of the fan 202 is arranged to be upwardly open, the air inlet 210 and the air inlet 209 overlap in the horizontal projection plane, and the liquid can directly fall into the air inlet 210 after entering the air inlet 209. In order to solve the problem, the air inlet 210 and the air inlet 209 are staggered in the embodiment of the utility model, so that the liquid entering the air inlet 209 can not directly fall into the air inlet 210 of the fan 202, thereby preventing the fan 202 from being damaged due to water immersion.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the air inlet 210 and the air inlet 209 in the humidifying assembly 103 of the embodiment of the utility model have the same orientation, that is, the air inlet 210 and the air inlet 209 are both arranged upwardly, the axis of the air inlet 210 and the axis of the air inlet 209 are arranged in a horizontal direction, and the edge of the air inlet 210 and the edge of the air inlet 209 do not intersect in the horizontal projection plane. When the water flows downward along the edge of the air inlet 209, it will avoid the edge of the air inlet 210, thereby avoiding the water entering the inside of the fan 202 along the edge of the air inlet 210, and reducing the failure of the fan 202 caused by water immersion.

[0060] Referring to Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that since the upper part of the air inlet 210 is covered by the cover plate 208, the external water droplets are blocked by the cover plate 208 and cannot directly enter the air inlet 210 of the fan 202. The fan 202 is lowered in the vertical direction as a whole, so as to leave a certain space for air to pass between the top of the fan 202 and the cover plate 208, that is, the cover plate 208 and the top of the fan 202 are provided with an air inlet space 302, the air inlet 210 and the air inlet space 302 are communicated, and the air suction port 209 is also communicated with the air inlet space 302. The top of the partition strip 207 and the cover plate 208 form an air outlet 303, and the air outlet 303 is communicated with the air inlet space 302. After the fan 202 is started, dry air enters the air inlet space 302 from the air suction port 209, then enters the air inlet 210, is accelerated by the fan 202, and is blown out from the air outlet 301 to the air outlet 303, and then reaches the water storage member 201. The specific air flow direction is as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the arrows in the figure represent the direction of air flow.

[0061] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the humidifying assembly 103 includes a flow guide part 211 for guiding the air flow blown out by the fan 202 to the outer surface of the water storage member 201. The flow guide part 211 is provided with a first end part 212 and a second end part 213, the first end part 212 of the flow guide part 211 is connected to the lower edge of the air outlet 301, and the second end part 213 is connected to the lower edge of the air outlet 303, and the fan 202, the flow guide part 211 and the water storage member 201 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 203. The outlet size of the fan 202 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 205 in the height direction of the shell 203, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 205 in the width direction of the shell 203, so that the outlet of the fan 202 is concentrated on one side in the width direction, and a large air volume is maintained in the height direction. Since correspondingly, the partition strip 207 is arranged between the first mounting groove 205 and the second mounting groove 206, and the water storage member 201 has a certain height, that is, the lower edge of the air outlet 301 is lower than the lower edge of the air outlet 303. Therefore, in the height direction of the shell 203, the height of the first end part 212 is lower than the height of the second end part 213, and the air flow blown out by the fan 202 is guided to the gap between the cover plate 208 and the water storage member 201.

[0062] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it can be understood that the housing 203 is provided with an overflow port 214, the height of which is lower than the height of the air inlet 210. The overflow port 214 is located on the side of the fan 202 near the air intake 209, that is, there is a buffer space 304 between the fan 202 and the side wall of the housing 203. The overflow port 214 is located at the bottom of the buffer space 304. The buffer space 304 and the air intake space 302 together increase the air intake volume of the fan 202. During normal operation, when the fan 202 is started, the external airflow enters from the air intake 209, fills the buffer space 304 and the air intake space 302, then enters the air inlet 210, is accelerated by the fan 202 and blown out from the air outlet 301 to the air supply outlet 303, and then reaches the water storage component 201.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 203 is provided with ribs 215, which surround the outer periphery of the overflow port 214, thus forming an overflow space 305. When water flows into the air intake 209, the water collects in the overflow space 305 and then flows out from the overflow port 214. When the user adds water, causing water to overflow, or liquid is spilled on the shelf 104, or when a large amount of condensate falls from the evaporator 801, and a large amount of water flows into the air intake 209 in a short time, the overflow port 214 cannot discharge all the water in time. The overflow space 305 can restrict the water from overflowing outward and affecting the normal operation of the fan 202.

[0064] It should be noted that the overflow space 305 can be formed by the surrounding reinforcement 215 alone, for example, the surrounding reinforcement 215 is annular. The overflow space 305 can also be formed by the surrounding reinforcement 215 and the side wall of the shell 203 together, for example, the surrounding reinforcement 215 is semi-circular, and the two ends of the surrounding reinforcement 215 are respectively connected to the side wall of the shell 203.

[0065] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the air inlet 210 and the air intake 209 may have different orientations.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the cabinet 101 is provided with an air intake 209, which is located on the side wall of the storage room 102. The humidification component 103 is installed on the shelf 104, and the air intake 209 and the air inlet 210 are located in different positions in the storage room 102. Since the air intake 209 has been moved from the shelf 104 to the side wall at a higher position, it is difficult for water droplets to enter the air intake 209.

[0067] Understandably, cabinet 101 is equipped with a return air duct, which connects the air intake vent 209 and the air inlet vent 210. Since the air inlet vent 210 and the air intake vent 209 are located in different positions within storage compartment 102, and are relatively far apart, the return air duct connects them, ensuring that the air intake vent 209 and the air inlet vent 210, despite their different orientations, allow for airflow communication. The air intake vent 209 is oriented horizontally, while the air inlet vent 210 is oriented vertically. Even if water droplets enter the air intake vent 209, the water will flow along the bottom of the return air duct. The air inlet vent 210 is positioned higher than the bottom of the return air duct, further preventing water droplets from entering it.

[0068] Understandably, the return air duct is located between the insulation layer and the condenser body 501. (Refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cabinet 101 includes a second air duct 503, which defines a return air passage.

[0069] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the cabinet 101 may not be provided with a second air duct 503, that is, the return air channel may be directly defined by the liner 501 and the insulation layer. For example, an air guide groove is provided on the insulation layer, and the groove opening of the air guide groove is attached to the outer surface of the liner 501 to form a return air channel.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the air intake 209 and the humidification component 103 can both be located on the side wall of the storage room 102. The air intake 209 and the air inlet 210 are located on the same side wall and are staggered. For example, the height of the air intake 209 is lower than the height of the air inlet 210; or the air intake 209 and the air inlet 210 are located on two adjacent side walls.

[0071] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
