Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air circulation technology, specifically to an edge-wind uniform humidity air circulation system and a cigar cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] The edge micro-wind uniform humidity air circulation system is an air flow control solution designed specifically for high-end cigar storage. Through edge distributed air ducts and ultra-low speed airflow exchange, it achieves uniform humidity distribution inside the cabinet, while ensuring that the cigar storage area has almost zero wind, perfectly matching the quiet and stable environment required for cigar aging.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN113044408A, published on June 29, 2021, discloses a precision constant temperature and humidity cigar cabinet. It includes a base. The invention utilizes a humidifying fan to extract moisture, and humidifying cotton to disperse water molecules, drawing the moisture into the cabinet. The cabinet contains an inner and outer air duct plate. During cooling, water droplets are generated; the inner air duct plate acts as a buffer against these droplets. Since evaporating water vapor produces relatively strong cold air, the inner air duct plate acts as a buffer. The cold air buffered by the inner air duct plate circulates through the first and second fans of the outer air duct plate. Humidity and temperature probes are installed on the outer air duct plate. Heating wires are evenly distributed on both sides of the cabinet's foam layer, resulting in gentler and more uniform heating. A control module uses electrical signals to control the humidifying fan, compressor, evaporator coil, heating wires, temperature probe, humidity probe, first fan, and second fan, precisely controlling the temperature and humidity changes within the cabinet.

[0004] The aforementioned device controls the humidifying fan, compressor, coil evaporator, heating wire, temperature probe, humidity probe, first fan, and second fan via electrical signals to precisely control the temperature and humidity changes in the cabinet, thereby creating air circulation within the cabinet to achieve uniform humidity. However, this solution causes exposed cigars to be exposed to a windy environment for a long time, leading to cigar breakage and loss of flavor. Therefore, we propose an edge micro-wind uniform humidification air circulation system and a cigar cabinet. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that most existing cigar cabinets and decanters in the prior art use a turbine fan installed on the back panel to create air circulation inside the cabinet to achieve uniform humidity. However, this solution causes exposed cigars to be exposed to a windy environment for a long time, resulting in cigars cracking and losing flavor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a body, a base plate at the bottom of the body, an air inlet at the top of the base plate, a circulating air duct inside the body, the circulating air duct being positioned between the base plate and the top of the body, an air outlet at the upper end of the circulating air duct, and an air inlet at the lower end of the circulating air duct. Air inside the body enters through the air inlet, passes through the circulating air duct, and exits at the air outlet, thus facilitating the even distribution of circulated air to the largest possible spatial angle. A circulating fan is installed inside the circulating air duct.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the air outlet of the air duct is configured as a 90° fan-shaped air outlet, and the number of air outlets is set to several, all of which are located at the top of the circulating air duct.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a circulating air duct is fixedly connected inside the machine body, and the number of the circulating air ducts is set to several, with the several circulating air ducts fixedly connected to the four sides of the inside of the machine body.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the number of circulating fans is set to several, and the several circulating fans are all arranged inside the circulating air duct.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the machine body is further provided with a humidity control device. The humidity control device includes a circulation box fixedly connected inside the machine body. The surface of the circulation box is provided with circulation and humidity equalization holes. A dehumidification module is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the circulation box. A humidification module is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circulation box. The humidification module is located above the dehumidification module. An exhaust hole is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the dehumidification module. The exhaust hole penetrates the bottom plate. A control board is fixedly connected to the surface of the machine body. The control board is located directly in front of the humidification module.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the humidification module has a water inlet at the top, the control panel is electrically connected to the circulation box, and the power cord of the circulation fan is led out from the control board behind the dehumidification module and connected to all the circulation fans on the four sides of the bottom surface. The control board is electrically connected to the circulation fans.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a damping hinge is fixedly connected to the front of the machine body, and a closing door is hinged to the end of the damping hinge away from the machine body. A control panel is fixedly connected to the front of the closing door, and a main control circuit board is fixedly connected to the inside of the machine body. The main control circuit board is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0013] This utility model provides an edge-mounted micro-wind and uniformly humidified air circulation system and a cigar cabinet, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) This utility model has a circulating air duct fixedly connected around the body of the machine. By starting the circulating fan inside the circulating air duct, the moisture can be blown from the bottom of the machine to the top of the machine. The moisture is then blown evenly along the top of the machine to all parts of the machine through the 90° fan-shaped air outlet, and then slowly settles. This cycle repeats, keeping the humidity inside the cabinet uniform. At the same time, it ensures that there is no obvious air flow in the middle of the cabinet where cigars are placed. The air flow only passes through the top surface of the cabinet and the edges of the four corners at the bottom of the cabinet. This is conducive to the long-term preservation of cigars in a windless environment and solves the problem of uneven humidity caused by natural settling of moisture.

[0015] (2) The inside of the body of this utility model is fixedly connected with a circulating air duct. This design can hide the circulation system and achieve a simple and beautiful visual effect. At the same time, the air outlet of the air duct is designed as a 90° fan shape, which can make the airflow cover a wider area and avoid local excessive moisture or dryness.

Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , 3

[0026] An edge-ventilated, humidified air circulation system includes a body 1, a base plate 2 at the bottom of the body 1, an air inlet 13 above the base plate 2, and a circulation duct 12 inside the body 1, positioned between the base plate 2 and the top of the body 1. The upper end of the circulation duct 12 has an air outlet 15, and the lower end has an air inlet 13. Air from the body 1 enters through the air inlet 13, passes through the circulation duct 12, and exits through the air outlet 15, facilitating even air distribution across a large spatial angle after circulation. A circulation fan 14 is installed inside the circulation duct 12. The circulation duct 12 is fixed to the side of the cabinet, with its first end forming an airflow inlet and its second end forming an airflow outlet. The circulation duct 12 is an airflow circulation system configured to transport airflow from the lower part of the cabinet to the upper part and distribute it evenly.

[0027] The air outlet 15 is designed as a 90° fan-shaped air outlet. In practice, the air outlet angle can be changed according to the actual physical angle of the air outlet location. Several air outlets 15 are set, all located at the top of the circulating air duct 12. The air outlets 15 are designed in a fan shape at different angles to the vertical direction of the circulating air duct 12. This design is to allow the airflow to spread out as much as possible at the top, covering a wider area and avoiding local overheating or overcooling.

[0028] The unit 1 has several circulating air ducts 12 fixedly connected inside. These circulating air ducts 12 are fixedly connected to the circumference of the inside of the unit 1. By welding the circulating air ducts 12 to the circumference of the inside of the unit 1, the moisture can be evenly extended to the top of the unit 1, then blown into various parts of the unit, and then slowly settled, circulating repeatedly to keep the humidity inside the cabinet uniform.

[0029] The number of circulating fans 14 is set to several, and the several circulating fans 14 are all set inside the circulating air duct 12.

[0030] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 2

[0031] The unit 1 is equipped with a humidity control device, which includes a circulation box 7 fixedly connected inside the unit 1. The surface of the circulation box 7 is provided with circulation and humidity equalization holes 8. A dehumidification module 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the circulation box 7. A humidification module 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circulation box 7. The humidification module 9 is located above the dehumidification module 10. A discharge hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the dehumidification module 10. The discharge hole 11 penetrates the bottom plate 2. A control plate 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the unit 1. The control plate 16 is located directly in front of the humidification module 9. The humidification module 9 contains a piezoelectric ceramic plate and a guide tube is fixedly connected to its top. Water molecules are added through the water inlet 17, which breaks them into 1-5μm ultrafine cold mist at a frequency of 1.7MHz. This ultrafine cold mist can reach the air inlet 13 through the guide tube. The air inlet 13 is designed in a fan shape at different angles to the vertical direction of the circulating air duct 12. With the help of the circulating fan 14 inside the circulating air duct 12, the ultrafine cold mist can diffuse 360° without dead angles, which is convenient for the preservation of cigars. At the same time, a humidity sensor is installed inside the dehumidification module 10. The humidity sensor monitors the humidity inside the machine body 1 in real time. The controller determines that when the humidity is >70% RH, the dehumidification module 10 is activated to condense and dehumidify. Finally, the dehumidified air is discharged through the circulating humidity equalization hole 8, realizing the dry air recirculation. When the humidity is <60% RH: humidification module 9 is activated to maintain the humidity inside the machine 1 at the required level for cigar storage, thus ensuring the quality of cigar storage.

[0032] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1 , 4

[0033] The humidification module 9 has a water inlet 17 on its top. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the circulation box 7. The power cord for the circulation fans is led out from the control board 16 behind the dehumidification module 10 and connected to all four sides of the bottom surface of the circulation fans 14. The control board 16 is electrically connected to the circulation fans 14. This setup allows the control panel 6 to control the temperature and humidity inside the machine body 1, as well as the operation of the circulation fans 14, thereby effectively ensuring the preservation conditions for cigars.

[0034] A damping hinge 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the body 1. A closing door 5 is hinged to the end of the damping hinge 4 away from the body 1. A control panel 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the closing door 5. A main control circuit board 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the body 1. The main control circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the control panel 6.

[0035] This invention provides an edge-driven, low-humidity air circulation system and a cigar cabinet. The specific working principle is as follows: Since circulating air ducts 12 are fixed around the perimeter of the cigar cabinet body 1, activating the circulating fan 14 inside the ducts blows moisture from the lower part of the cigar cabinet body 1 to the top. The moisture is then evenly distributed throughout the cigar cabinet body 1 via fan-shaped air outlets 15 at different angles perpendicular to the ducts 12, allowing it to slowly settle and circulate repeatedly, maintaining uniform humidity within the cabinet. This airflow only passes through the top surface and the four corners of the lower part of the cabinet, facilitating cigar preservation. Simultaneously, no significant airflow is formed in the large central area of ​​the cabinet, which is beneficial for long-term preservation of cigars in a windless environment. The circulating air ducts 12 are fixedly connected around the perimeter of the cigar cabinet body 1. Through a concealed three-dimensional air duct layout and low-speed laminar flow diffusion technology, imperceptible uniform humidity is achieved within the cigar storage space, while also maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.

[0036] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural, procedural, or functional transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
