In existing temperature and humidity controlled cigar cabinets, the independent output of cooling and humidifying air ducts leads to uneven temperature and humidity inside the cabinet, affecting the quality of cigars.
The design of the cooling and humidifying air ducts adopts a confluence structure, which allows the cooling and humidifying air to mix in the confluence air duct before entering the inner tank. The air duct is then separated into a cooling air duct and a confluence air duct by an air duct baffle. An air duct baffle is also set at the back of the inner tank to optimize airflow. The air is mixed evenly by using a cooling evaporator and a humidifying fan.
It achieves uniformity in air humidity and temperature drop within the cabinet, improving the stability of cigar storage quality, and features a simple and compact structure.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cigar cabinet with a merging structure, which is a cigar cabinet for controlling temperature and humidity, and belongs to the technical field of cigar cabinets. Background Technology
[0002] Existing temperature and humidity controlled cigar cabinets include a cabinet body, an inner liner, a cooling duct, and a humidifying duct. The outlet of the cooling duct is connected to the cigar storage area inside the inner liner, and the outlet of the humidifying duct is also connected to the cigar storage area inside the inner liner. The outlets of the cooling and humidifying ducts are independent and separate. During operation, the cooling duct outlet outputs cold air, and the humidifying duct outlet outputs humidified water vapor. This independent output of air to the cigar areas results in uneven temperature and humidity within the inner liner, which can negatively impact the quality of the cigars inside the cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cigar cabinet with a confluence structure, in which the temperature drop and humidity of the gas entering the cigar cabinet are uniform, which is conducive to the stable storage quality of cigars.
[0004] The present invention can adopt the following technical solution:
[0005] A cigar cabinet with a converging structure includes a cabinet body, a cabinet door, an inner liner, a cooling duct, a converging duct, and a humidifying duct. The cabinet door is located at the entrance of the cabinet body, the inner liner is located inside the cabinet, the cooling duct is located inside the inner liner, the converging duct is located inside the inner liner, and the humidifying duct is located inside the inner liner. The air inlet of the cooling duct is connected to the inner liner, and the lower end of the cooling duct has a cooling duct outlet. A cooling evaporator and a cooling fan are installed inside the cooling duct. The converging duct has a converging duct outlet connected to the inner liner, and the lower end of the converging duct has a converging duct inlet. A converging fan is installed at the converging duct inlet. The cooling duct outlet is connected to the converging duct inlet. The humidifying duct has a humidifying duct inlet connected to the inner liner, and a humidifying fan is installed inside the humidifying duct. The humidifying duct has a humidifying duct outlet, and the humidifying duct outlet is connected to the converging duct inlet.
[0006] The following improvements can be further implemented to solve the problem of this utility model:
[0007] Further improvements include: the cooling air duct and the converging air duct are located at the back of the inner liner.
[0008] Further improvements include: a channel is provided at the back of the inner liner, and an air duct partition is provided in the channel, which divides the channel into the cooling air duct and the converging air duct.
[0009] Further improvements include placing the cooling air duct closer to the back panel of the cabinet than the merging air duct.
[0010] Further improvements include: the air duct baffle is composed of an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section connected together in sequence. The middle section is set at an angle, which makes the upper space of the cooling air duct large and the lower space of the cooling air duct small, and the upper space of the converging air duct small and the lower space of the converging air duct large.
[0011] A further improvement is that the refrigeration evaporator is located in the upper space of the refrigeration duct.

[0013] A further improvement is that the cooling fan is located above the cooling evaporator.
[0014] Further improvements include placing the air inlet of the cooling duct at the top of the cooling duct.
[0015] The above technical solution has the following technical effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model makes the air entering the inner liner more uniform in terms of humidity and temperature drop, thereby making the air temperature and humidity inside the inner liner more uniform, which is conducive to the stable storage quality of cigars.
[0017] 2. The refrigeration air duct and the merging air duct of this utility model have a simple and compact structure. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Another enlarged view of a portion of the diagram. Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a cigar cabinet with a converging structure includes a cabinet body 1, a cabinet door, an inner liner 2, a cooling duct 4, a converging duct 3, and a humidifying duct 5. The cabinet door is located at the entrance of the cabinet body. The inner liner is located inside the cabinet body, the cooling duct 4 is located inside the inner liner, the converging duct 3 is located inside the inner liner 2, and the humidifying duct 5 is located inside the inner liner. The cooling duct inlet 41 is connected to the inner liner, and the lower end of the cooling duct has a cooling duct outlet 42. A cooling evaporator 43 and a cooling fan 44 are installed inside the cooling duct. The converging duct 3 has a converging duct outlet 32 connected to the inner liner, and the lower end of the converging duct has a converging duct inlet 31. A converging fan 33 is installed at the converging duct inlet 31. The cooling duct outlet 42 is connected to the converging duct inlet 31. The humidifying air duct 5 is provided with a humidifying air duct inlet 51 that is connected to the inner liner. A humidifying fan is provided inside the humidifying air duct. The humidifying air duct is provided with a humidifying air duct outlet 52 that is connected to the converging air duct inlet 31.
[0023] In this example, the cooling air duct 4 and the converging air duct 3 are located at the back of the inner liner.
[0024] In this example, the air inlet 41 of the cooling air duct is located at the upper end of the cooling air duct, which is also close to the inner top surface of the inner liner.
[0025] Working principle: During operation, the humidifying air duct sends humidified air to the converging air duct, and the cooling air duct sends cooled air to the converging air duct. After reaching the air inlet of the converging air duct, the air is then drawn in by the converging fan and enters the converging channel before entering the inner liner. The converging fan can mix and stir the humidified air and the cooled air, making the air entering the inner liner more uniform in terms of humidity and cooling, which is more conducive to controlling temperature and humidity and can help maintain the stable quality of cigars during storage.
[0026] Example 2: As Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the feature of this example is that a channel 100 is provided at the back of the inner liner, and an air duct partition 101 is provided in the channel. The air duct partition 101 divides the channel into the cooling air duct 4 and the converging air duct 3.
[0027] The cooling air duct 4 is closer to the back panel of cabinet 1 than the converging air duct.
[0028] The rest is the same as in Example 1.
[0029] Example 3: As Figure 3 As shown, the feature of this example is that the air duct partition 101 is composed of an upper section 1011, a middle section 1012, and a lower section 1013 connected together in sequence. The middle section is set at an inclination, which makes the upper space of the cooling air duct large and the lower space of the cooling air duct small, and the upper space of the converging air duct small and the lower space of the converging air duct large.
[0030] In this example, the refrigeration evaporator is located in the upper space of the refrigeration duct.
[0031] This structure is simple and compact, utilizing a large-volume refrigeration evaporator 43 placed at the top.
[0032] The rest is the same as in Example 1 or Example 2.
[0033] Example 4: The characteristic of this example is that the opening of the humidifying water tank is exposed in the humidifying air duct. Humidification is achieved by the evaporation of water in the humidifying water tank.
[0034] The rest is the same as in Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3.
[0035] Example 5: The feature of this example is that the cooling fan is located above the cooling evaporator. This allows for efficient use of space. The rest is the same as in Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4.
[0036] This invention can also be applied to flower bud cabinets.
[0037] 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.
