[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a kitchen cabinet with detection function, including an outer shell 1, partitions 2 and a movable door 3. Multiple partitions 2 are installed inside the outer shell 1. The movable door 3 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer shell 1. A moisture collection box 4 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 1. A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the moisture collection box 4. A drying box 6 is slidably connected to the top surface of the support plate 5. A through groove 7 is opened on the side wall of the outer shell 1 to accommodate the drying box 6. A groove 8 is opened on the bottom wall of the through groove 7. A trigger block 9 is slidably connected in the groove 8. The trigger block 9 is elastically connected to the bottom wall of the groove 8. A touch switch 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the groove 8. A warning light 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the outer shell 1. A first spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the trigger block 9. The other end of the first spring 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the groove 8. The touch switch 10 is electrically connected to the warning light 11.
[0026] In practice, when the inside of the outer casing 1 is damp, the moisture inside the outer casing 1 enters the moisture collection box 4 through the ventilation hole 19 on the partition 2. After the desiccant in the drying box 6 absorbs excess moisture, it slides out from the through groove 7 to the outside of the outer casing 1. As the drying box 6 gradually slides into the through groove 7, the drying box 6 presses down the trigger block 9 along the inclined surface set on the trigger block 9. The trigger block 9 is squeezed downward by the drying box 6 and enters the groove 8. The first spring 12 is compressed. The trigger block 9 continues to descend until it contacts the touch switch 10. At this time, the warning light 11, which is electrically connected to the touch switch 10, lights up to indicate that the desiccant needs to be replaced.
[0027] See Figure 3The support plate 5 has a slot 13. A movable block 14 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the moisture collection box 4. The bottom end of one side of the movable block 14 is set as an inclined surface. The slot 13 is provided with an inclined surface that fits against the movable block 14 on the side near the movable block 14. A second spring 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 14. The other end of the second spring 15 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the moisture collection box 4. A third spring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 5. The other end of the third spring 16 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the moisture collection box 4.
[0028] When the desiccant inside the drying box 6 absorbs excessive moisture, its gravity will press the support plate 5 downwards. Due to the inclined design of the support plate 5 and the movable block 14, the movable block 14 is driven to slide towards the through groove 7. At this time, the second spring 15 is stretched, and the movable block 14 pushes the drying box 6 out of the through groove 7 to the outside of the outer shell 1, where the desiccant is replaced. After the replacement, the mass of the drying box 6 and the newly replaced desiccant inside is reduced compared to before. At this time, the second spring 15 will automatically shorten and pull the movable block 14 through its elastic force, causing the drying box 6 to retract into the outer shell 1, while simultaneously raising the support plate 5 to its initial position.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the outer shell 1 is rotatably connected to a movable plate 17 via a spring hinge. The movable plate 17 can completely cover the through groove 7. Two guide plates 18 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the support plate 5. The two guide plates 18 are symmetrically arranged. The side walls of the two guide plates 18 are slidably connected to the drying box 6. Multiple ventilation holes 19 are provided on the partition 2. When the moisture collection box 4 is inside the outer shell 1, the movable plate 17 is closed under the action of the spring hinge to prevent external moisture and dust from entering the interior of the outer shell 1 and affecting the quality of the stored items. The guide plates 18 can effectively guide the moisture collection box 4 to move along a predetermined trajectory and prevent it from deviating from the predetermined path. The ventilation holes 19 allow the air between the various partitions inside the outer shell 1 to circulate fully, so that the desiccant can absorb moisture more fully.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] When the inside of the outer casing 1 is damp, the moisture inside the outer casing 1 enters the moisture collection box 4 through the ventilation hole 19 on the partition 2. The desiccant in the drying box 6 absorbs excess moisture, and its gravity will press the support plate 5 downward. Due to the inclined design of the support plate 5 and the moving block 14, the moving block 14 is driven to slide towards the through groove 7. At this time, the second spring 15 is stretched, and the moving block 14 pushes the drying box 6 out of the through groove 7 to the outside of the outer casing 1, and then the desiccant is replaced. After the replacement is completed, the mass of the drying box 6 and the newly replaced desiccant inside it is reduced compared to before. At this time, the second spring 15 will automatically shorten and pull the moving block 14 through the elastic force, driving the drying box 6 back into the outer casing 1, and at the same time driving the support plate 5 to rise to the initial position.
[0032] As the desiccant box 6 gradually slides into the through groove 7, the desiccant box 6 presses down the trigger block 9 along the inclined surface provided on the trigger block 9. The trigger block 9 is squeezed downward by the desiccant box 6 and enters the groove 8. The first spring 12 is compressed. The trigger block 9 continues to descend until it contacts the touch switch 10. At this time, the warning light 11, which is electrically connected to the touch switch 10, lights up to indicate that the desiccant needs to be replaced. The warning light 11 can be powered by a battery. The battery can be installed in the battery slot that is pre-opened in the housing 1 near the warning light 11. The power switch of the warning light 11 is controlled by the touch switch 10.
