Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ventilated and dehumidified filing cabinet, belonging to the field of filing cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] In current archival management practices, filing cabinets have significant shortcomings in ventilation and dehumidification, which directly affect the long-term preservation quality and security of archives. Specifically, filing cabinets often lack efficient ventilation systems, resulting in poor air circulation inside the cabinet, which easily creates a humid environment and leads to problems such as mold and insect infestation on the archives.

[0003] On the one hand, poor air circulation inside filing cabinets is a major cause of humidity buildup. Filing cabinet designs often neglect the importance of air circulation, leaving the air inside stagnant for extended periods, unable to effectively expel humid air or introduce dry fresh air. This design not only exacerbates the risk of dampness in the archives but can also lead to a decline in air quality inside the cabinet, posing a potential threat to archive preservation. On the other hand, existing dehumidification methods for filing cabinets are typically simplistic and inefficient. Some filing cabinets use built-in dehumidifiers or electric heating dehumidification, but these methods often suffer from slow dehumidification speeds, high energy consumption, and complex maintenance. Electric heating dehumidification, in particular, can damage the archives due to the high-temperature environment. Furthermore, while some filing cabinets are equipped with ventilation devices such as fans, the lack of professional gas handling components prevents effective purification of the air entering the cabinet, introducing dust, particles, and other impurities from the outside air, further affecting the preservation quality of the archives.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a ventilable and dehumidifying filing cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a partition 2 and a filing plate 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the cabinet body 1, and a ventilation component for ventilation is provided on the inner side of the cabinet body 1.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the ventilation assembly includes an exhaust fan 4 and an exhaust fan 5 fixedly connected to the inside of the cabinet 1, an exhaust pipe 6 fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 4, an exhaust pipe 7 fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 4, a connecting pipe 8 fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 5, and an air supply pipe 9 fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust fan 5.

[0026] The right side of the cabinet 1 is equipped with a gas treatment component for treating outside air. The gas treatment component includes a frame 10 fixedly connected to the right side of the cabinet 1, a filter screen 11 fixedly connected to the inside of the frame opening of the frame 10, and charcoal 12 disposed inside the frame 10.

[0027] It should be noted that the right end of the connecting pipe 8 passes through the inner right side wall of the cabinet 1 and the left side wall of the frame 10 and extends into the interior of the frame 10. This design allows the exhaust fan 5 to directly draw air processed by the gas handling components from inside the frame 10, ensuring that the air entering the filing cabinet is filtered and purified.

[0028] The file placement board 3 is located above the partition 2, and several ventilation holes are provided on the inner side of the file placement board 3. The design of the ventilation holes allows air to circulate up and down on the file placement board 3, which helps to ventilate and dehumidify the files and prevent the files from getting damp or moldy due to long-term storage.

[0029] A humidity sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 2. The top of the exhaust pipe 6 and the top of the air supply pipe 9 pass through the bottom and top of the partition 2 in sequence. The humidity sensor 13 can monitor the humidity in the filing cabinet in real time. When the humidity is too high, the exhaust fan 4 and the exhaust fan 5 can be started through the control system to perform ventilation and dehumidification. At the same time, the design of the exhaust pipe 6 and the air supply pipe 9 enables the air to form an effective circulation in the filing cabinet, improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0030] The left end of the exhaust pipe 7 penetrates the inner left side wall of the cabinet 1 and extends to the outside of the cabinet 1. The exhaust pipe 7 expels the humid air inside the cabinet 1 to the external environment, which helps to reduce the humidity inside the cabinet 1 and keep the archives dry.

[0031] A lighting lamp 14 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cabinet 1. The front of the cabinet 1 is hinged with a file retrieval door 101 and a fan maintenance door 102. The lighting lamp 14 provides good lighting conditions, making it easy for staff to see the contents of the files when retrieving them. The design of the file retrieval door 101 and the fan maintenance door 102 facilitates the storage and retrieval of files and the maintenance of equipment, improving the practicality and convenience of the filing cabinet.

[0032] Furthermore, the gas treatment medium within the frame 10 is not limited to charcoal; silica gel or molecular sieves can also be used. Silica gel, as a highly active adsorbent, is commonly used for drying and moisture prevention. Its chemically stable, non-toxic, and harmless properties make it ideal for gas treatment in filing cabinets to ensure a dry environment for document preservation. Molecular sieves, with their precise pore size distribution, can selectively adsorb based on molecular size, making them highly effective at removing moisture and other small molecular impurities from the air. They are suitable for applications with extremely high requirements for the document preservation environment.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0034] The frame 10 is filled with charcoal 12. The charcoal 12 can effectively remove odors and some harmful gases from the air, and also has a certain drying effect. The filter screen 11 further blocks dust, particles and other impurities from the outside air, ensuring the air quality entering the filing cabinet.

[0035] When the humidity sensor 13 detects that the humidity inside the filing cabinet exceeds the preset threshold, the control system automatically starts the exhaust fan 4 and the exhaust fan 5. The exhaust fan 4 extracts the humid air from the filing cabinet through the exhaust pipe 6. At the same time, the exhaust fan 5 extracts treated dry air from inside the frame 10 through the connecting pipe 8. The dry air extracted by the exhaust fan 5 enters the filing cabinet through the air supply pipe 9, effectively promoting air circulation around the files. The humid air is then discharged to the external environment by the exhaust fan 4 through the exhaust pipe 7, forming a closed-loop air circulation system.

[0036] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer, and the existing publicly available power connection technology will not be elaborated in the text.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
