Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wine storage equipment, and more specifically to a double-layer wine cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Red wine is a beverage with high requirements for its storage environment, and its quality is greatly affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Traditional red wine storage methods often use single temperature control devices, such as single-layer constant-temperature wine cabinets. While these offer some temperature regulation, they typically only allow for a uniform temperature setting, failing to meet the diverse temperature and humidity needs of different types of red wine. Furthermore, although some wine cabinets incorporate humidity control modules, they generally suffer from inaccurate humidity control and uneven humidity distribution, leading to a decline in wine quality after long-term storage. In addition, existing wine cabinets often employ simple natural convection or single-fan airflow methods, making it difficult to achieve independent temperature and humidity control in different areas, hindering refined storage management. Moreover, some existing wine cabinet technologies suffer from airflow mixing issues in their structural design. For example, in double-layer wine cabinets, poorly designed internal partitions result in frequent air exchange between the upper and lower layers, making independent temperature and humidity regulation impossible and affecting storage effectiveness. Therefore, designing a wine cabinet that can achieve independent and precise temperature and humidity control, multi-zone coordinated adjustment, and intelligent control has become a pressing issue in the current technological field. Utility Model Content

[0022] A double-layer wine cabinet, please refer to Figure 1 , 2The system includes a cabinet 100, which contains an inner cavity 110 and a cabinet door 120 that can close the inner cavity 110. The front of the inner cavity 110 is open, and the cabinet door 120 is connected to the cabinet from the side. The cabinet door 120 can be flipped open and closed. The inner cavity 110 may contain red wine and shelves for storing red wine. The cabinet 100 is integrally formed into an outer shell, which encloses the inner cavity 110. The inner cavity 110 is a one-piece molded shell structure. A partition plate 130 is provided in the inner cavity 110 and divides the interior of the inner cavity (110) into two areas: an upper layer 101 and a lower layer 102. The partition plate 130 is provided with a first fan 131 that runs through it from top to bottom. The first fan 131 blows air from the upper layer to the lower layer 102. The cabinet 100 houses a refrigeration assembly, which includes a compressor 140 and an evaporator 150 and a condenser 160 connected to the compressor 140. The compressor 140 is located on the lower side of the cabinet 100, outside the inner cavity 110. The specific connection structure between the compressor 140, the condenser 160, and the evaporator 150 is not shown in the figure. The refrigeration assembly is used for refrigeration.

[0023] Furthermore, an inner wall panel 111 is vertically installed inside the inner cavity 110, positioned at the rear of the inner cavity 110. A partition 103 is formed between the inner wall panel 111 and the rear side wall of the inner cavity 110. The space in front of the inner wall panel 111 is a wine-containing area, and a partition plate 130 is installed in the middle of this area, dividing the wine-containing area into an upper layer 101 and a lower layer 102. The evaporator 150 is located in the cavity 103, specifically behind the inner wall panel 111. After the low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air, thus vaporizing into a gaseous state. This gas is then drawn away by the compressor and enters the next refrigeration cycle. Since the evaporator 150 is located in the cavity 103, the air in the cavity 103 is cooled first, forming cold air in the cavity 103. The inner wall panel 111 is provided with a second fan 112 and a third fan 113 corresponding to the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102, respectively. The inner wall panel 111 is provided with through holes corresponding to the second fan 112 and the third fan 113, that is, the second fan 112 and the third fan 113 are located in the cavity 103. Therefore, the cold air in the cavity 103 can be blown to the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102 through the second fan 112 and the third fan 113, respectively. Combined with the first fan 131, the different temperatures of the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102 can be adjusted. Under normal circumstances, temperature sensors need to be set on the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102 to monitor the real-time temperature in order to facilitate accurate temperature adjustment.

[0024] Furthermore, the cabinet 100 is equipped with a humidification component, which includes at least a water tank, a humidification module, and a humidity sensor. A pipe connects the humidification component to the inner cavity 110. The water tank is equipped with a water level sensor and a water shortage alarm function to ensure the safe and continuous operation of the humidification component. Multiple humidity sensors are provided, extending and arranged in the upper layer 101, lower layer 102, and cavity 103 to monitor humidity at different locations. The water tank is located at the bottom rear of the cabinet 100 and can be connected to an external water source or manually filled. The humidification module is an ultrasonic humidification module that uses high-frequency vibration to atomize the water in the water tank into microparticles, which are then transported to the cavity 103 through pipes. The second fan 112 and the third fan 113 can blow more humid air to the upper layer 101 and lower layer 102 respectively to increase the humidity of the upper layer 101 and lower layer 102, thereby achieving humidity control.

[0025] Furthermore, the second fan 112, the second fan 113, the humidification component, and the cooling component can simultaneously cool and humidify the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102. If the humidification component is not working, only cooling is performed, and so on, allowing for separate control of the temperature and humidity of the two layers. The first fan 131 can quickly balance the temperature and humidity of the two layers, and various operating states can be combined to produce different effects, enabling flexible adjustment of the temperature and humidity inside the wine cabinet. The partition 130 has a hollow structure, and in addition to the first fan 131, it can also be filled with heat-insulating material to improve its heat insulation performance. Under normal circumstances, the partition 130 needs to be sealed and installed in the inner cavity 110, and the front of the partition 130 should be sealed as much as possible when the cabinet door 120 is closed, for example, by installing sealing strips around the partition 130 to achieve a barrier between the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102, preventing the diffusion of air or humidity. If there is a gap between the front of the partition 130 and the cabinet door 120, or if the first fan 131 has a through-hole in the corresponding position, the air exchange speed will be too fast, increasing the difficulty of temperature and humidity control. This is because temperature and humidity diffuse along a gradient: hot air will conduct to the cold area, and humid air will diffuse to the dry area. Without physical barriers or airflow guidance, the two areas will gradually tend to the same temperature and humidity state. If there are gaps or ventilation ducts in the partition, air exchange will occur. At this time, the temperature and humidity of the upper and lower layers can be controlled, but they will interfere with each other. Relative independence must be achieved by relying on duct design, forced airflow guidance, precise sensing, and feedback control. In order to achieve different temperatures and humidity in a non-completely sealed structure, the upper and lower layers need to be equipped with their own evaporators to work with the second fan 112, the third fan 113, and humidity sensors for adjustment. At the same time, the first fan 131 must be able to precisely control the airflow direction and on / off time to prevent cross-mixing. A closable damper can also be installed at the air outlet of the partition 130. It can automatically close when the temperature and humidity difference is large, or open briefly when balancing air exchange. In addition, high-precision sensors are used to monitor the status of each layer. This allows the control logic to intelligently correct for temperature and humidity differences, and even dynamically compensate for mutual interference.

[0026] Furthermore, a control panel 132 is provided on the front side of the partition 130, connecting the refrigeration and humidification components. The control panel 132 includes a control circuit board, which connects to the humidification component, the refrigeration component, and sensors. After receiving sensor data, the control board outputs control signals through logical judgment to drive the hardware devices. The control panel 132 has multiple touch buttons and an information display panel. Users can set the temperature and humidity of the upper layer 101 and the lower layer 102 through the control panel 131. The condenser 160 has a serpentine coil structure and is located on the back of the cabinet 100 and on both sides of the outer cavity 110. The condenser 160 located outside the inner cavity 110 operates in the opposite manner to the evaporator 150. The condenser 160 cools and releases heat from the high-pressure, high-temperature gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator 150, turning it back into a liquid state for use in the next refrigeration cycle. The condenser 160 is located on multiple sides outside the inner cavity 110 to improve heat dissipation efficiency and avoid affecting the temperature of the inner cavity 110 during heat dissipation. The cabinet door 120 features a double-layered, hollow glass structure to ensure its heat insulation performance. The inner surface of the glass is coated with an anti-UV coating to protect the wine in the inner cavity 110 from light damage. The cabinet body 100 is equipped with a wireless communication module that connects to the control panel 131. The wireless communication module is a small hardware device of existing technology used for wireless data transmission and reception. It supports various protocols, among which the Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth dual-mode module is the most common. Wine cabinets equipped with a Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth dual-mode module can connect to mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablets via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With the help of an APP, users can remotely monitor and control the temperature and humidity parameters inside the wine cabinet, making it convenient for users to adjust the storage status of the wine cabinet.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
