[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0032] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a humidity and temperature control cabinet with a converging structure includes a cabinet body 1, an inner liner 2, a converging air duct 3, a heating and circulating air duct 4, a cooling air duct 5, and a humidifying air duct 6 for humidifying the air. The inner liner is located inside the cabinet body 1, while the converging air duct 3, the heating and circulating air duct 4, and the cooling air duct 5 are located inside the inner liner 2. A cooling evaporator 53 (or a semiconductor-cooled aluminum evaporator) is installed inside the cooling air duct 5, and a cooling fan 54 is also installed inside the cooling air duct 5.
[0033] The converging air duct 3 is vertically arranged, with the air inlet 31 located at the bottom of the converging air duct. A heater 43 is installed inside the converging air duct. A converging fan 34 is installed near the air inlet of the converging air duct. The air outlet 32 of the converging air duct is connected to the inner liner storage area.
[0034] The air outlet 52 of the cooling air duct is connected to the air inlet of the converging air duct, and the air inlet 51 of the cooling air duct is connected to the inner storage area. The air outlet 62 of the humidifying air duct is connected to the air inlet of the converging air duct, and the air inlet 61 of the humidifying air duct is connected to the inner storage area. The air outlet 42 of the heating circulating air duct is connected to the air inlet of the converging air duct, and the air inlet 41 of the heating circulating air duct is connected to the inner storage area.
[0035] The heating circulation duct 4 is located within the humidification duct 6, and a heating fan 44 is installed inside the heating circulation duct 4. The air inlet of the heating circulation duct is exposed outside the humidification duct.
[0036] The humidifying air duct 6 is equipped with a humidifying fan 64, and the humidifying air duct is located at the bottom of the inner liner.
[0037] Working Principle: During operation, when heating and humidification are required, the heating fan and humidifying fan operate simultaneously, while the heater operates to provide heating. This heats and humidifies the inner liner. Humid air enters the converging air duct and mixes with the hot air already there, resulting in a more consistent and uniform temperature and humidity of the air entering the inner liner from the duct's outlet. When cooling and humidification are needed, the humidifying fan and cooling fan operate simultaneously. Cold and humid air enters the converging air duct after passing through the converging fan. The fan's agitation further ensures a more uniform mixture, resulting in a more consistent and uniform temperature and humidity of the air entering the inner liner from the duct's outlet. This achieves both cooling and humidification of the inner liner. The heating circulation duct 4 is located within the humidification duct 6, allowing for a more compact internal structure and more space for storage. For individual heating, simply turn on the heater and heating fan.
[0038] Example 2: The feature of this example is that the heating circulation air duct 4 is formed by combining the trough-shaped body 401 with part of the inner top wall (top part 72) of the humidification air duct.
[0039] The heater 43 is located above the converging fan.
[0040] This design is compact and easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0041] The rest can be found in Example 1.
[0042] Example 3: The characteristic of this example is that...
[0043] The air inlet 41 of the heating circulation duct is located at the bottom of the inner liner near the cabinet door.
[0044] The air inlet 61 of the humidification duct is located at the bottom of the inner liner near the cabinet door.
[0045] The air inlet 51 of the cooling duct is located at the top of the inner liner near the back panel of the cabinet.
[0046] The rest is the same as in Example 1 or Example 2.
[0047] Example 4: The characteristic of this example is that...
[0048] The humidifying water tank 8 is located under the base inside the inner tank. The air inlet 61 of the humidifying air duct is exposed through the opening of the humidifying water tank 8. The airflow through the humidifying air duct flows through the opening of the humidifying water tank 8, and the opening of the humidifying water tank is connected to the inner tank. This structure utilizes the contact between the airflow and the water in the humidifying water tank to achieve humidification.
[0049] In this example, the base 7 is composed of a top component 72, a middle component 73, and a bottom component 74, arranged from top to bottom. The humidifying air duct 6 is composed of a first air duct and a second air duct. The first air duct is composed of the top component, the middle component, and the inner wall of the liner. The second air duct is composed of the bottom component 74 and the middle component. The middle component 73 has a through hole (through hole 730) to connect the first air duct and the second air duct. The bottom component has a bottom component inlet, which forms the air inlet of the humidifying air duct and connects with the second air duct. The humidifying fan 64 is located between the middle component and the bottom component inlet. The heating circulation air duct 4 is located in the first air duct.
[0050] The rest is the same as in Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3.
[0051] Example 5: The characteristic of this example is that...
[0052] The base 7, located inside the inner liner, has a gap space 71 that communicates with the inner liner. The air inlet of the humidification air duct and the air inlet of the heating circulation air duct are located in this gap space.
[0053] This results in a compact structure.
[0054] The rest is the same as in Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3.
[0055] Example 6: As Figure 8 As shown, the characteristics of this example are:
[0056] The humidifying water tank 8 is located under the base inside the inner tank, and part of the humidifying air duct is exposed through the opening of the humidifying water tank 8. The airflow passing through the humidifying air duct flows through the opening of the humidifying water tank 8. This structure utilizes the contact between the airflow and the water in the humidifying water tank to achieve humidification.
[0057] The humidifying water tank is located below the open space.
[0058] In this example, the base 7 is composed of a top component 72, a middle component 73, and a bottom component 74, arranged from top to bottom. The humidifying air duct 6 is composed of a first air duct and a second air duct. The first air duct is composed of the top component, the middle component, and the inner wall of the liner. The second air duct is composed of the bottom component 74 and the humidifying water tank. The middle component 73 has a through hole 730, and the bottom component 74 has a through hole 740, which connect the first air duct and the second air duct. The middle component has a middle component inlet, and the bottom component has a bottom component inlet. The middle component inlets and the bottom component inlets are interconnected to form the air inlet of the humidifying air duct, which is connected to the second air duct. The humidifying fan 64 is located between the middle component inlet and the bottom component inlet. The heating circulation air duct 4 is located in the first air duct. This structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, and allows air to enter the humidifying water tank in a circuitous manner, carrying away the moisture in the water tank, which is more conducive to humidification. The difference between this example and Example 4 is the different airflow direction structure of the humidification channel, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown.
[0059] The rest are the same as in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 5.
[0060] This invention can be applied to cigar cabinets as well as flower bud cabinets.
[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
