Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage equipment technology, specifically a moisture-proof storage device for cigarettes. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of tobacco warehousing management, the proper storage of confiscated cigarettes is a crucial aspect. Because cigarettes are hygroscopic, their quality is highly susceptible to changes in ambient humidity. When the storage environment is too humid, cigarettes easily absorb moisture from the air, causing the tobacco to mold and spoil. This not only severely affects the taste and quality of the cigarettes but also results in economic losses.

[0003] The existing equipment has the following disadvantages: common methods of moisture prevention in tobacco storage mainly rely on traditional warehouse ventilation and desiccant dehumidification. Traditional warehouse ventilation mainly relies on natural ventilation or simple mechanical ventilation, which makes it difficult to ensure uniform air circulation in all areas of the warehouse. When using desiccant, it needs to be replaced regularly and has low dehumidification efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a moisture-proof cigarette storage device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture-proof storage device for cigarettes to solve the problems mentioned above, such as difficulty in ensuring uniform air circulation in different areas of the warehouse, the need for regular replacement of desiccants, and low dehumidification efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cigarette moisture-proof storage device, comprising a storage box for storing cigarettes, and further comprising:

[0007] A dehumidification unit is installed at the top of the storage box to remove moisture from inside the storage box;

Detailed Implementation

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cigarette moisture-proof storage device, including a storage box 1 for storing cigarettes, and further including: a dehumidification unit 2, which is set at the top of the storage box 1 for discharging moisture inside the storage box 1; a ventilation unit 3, which is adjustablely set at the bottom of the storage box 1 for opening the bottom of the storage box 1 when dehumidifying the inside of the storage box 1. In order to ensure the dehumidification efficiency of the storage box 1, a heating component is installed inside the ventilation unit 3. A temperature and humidity sensor is installed inside the storage box 1 for real-time monitoring of the humidity and temperature inside the storage box 1, and the temperature and humidity sensor is electrically connected to the ventilation unit 3 and the dehumidification unit 2 through a PLC control element.

[0036] It should be noted that during operation, when the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the humidity inside storage box 1 exceeds the set value, it transmits a signal to the PLC control element. The PLC control element then controls the dehumidification unit 2 and the ventilation unit 3 to open, and activates the heating component on the ventilation unit 3. The power component on the dehumidification unit 2 generates negative pressure, causing the humid air inside storage box 1 to flow towards the top of storage box 1 and then be discharged from the top. The heating component generates heat, further improving the dehumidification efficiency inside storage box 1, thus maintaining the cigarettes stored inside storage box 1 in a dry storage environment. The dehumidification unit 2 at the top can promptly extract moisture from the inside of the storage box 1 and quickly expel humid air from the storage box 1, effectively reducing the humidity inside the storage box 1 and providing a dry storage environment for confiscated cigarettes. This greatly reduces the risk of cigarettes becoming moldy and deteriorating due to moisture. The ventilation unit 3 is adjustable and located at the bottom of the storage box 1. When dehumidifying the inside of the storage box 1, the bottom of the storage box 1 can be opened to allow air circulation. This bottom ventilation design can form an air circulation from bottom to top, making the air inside the storage box 1 flow more evenly and avoiding localized excessive humidity, further improving the moisture-proof effect.

[0037] In one embodiment, the storage box 1 is hinged to a door 11 at the front end, and a partition 12 is vertically arranged inside the storage box 1. Placement platforms 13 are spaced apart inside the storage box 1 and are symmetrically arranged about the partition 12. An exhaust hole 1201 is provided at the position between the two placement platforms 13 on the partition 12.

[0038] This design is for reference. Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 7 The storage box 1 has vertically installed partitions 12, which divide the internal space into relatively independent areas. Combined with the symmetrically arranged placement platforms 13 about the partitions 12, a neat and orderly storage pattern can be formed. This partition design allows different types of confiscated cigarettes to be placed separately, avoiding the chaos caused by mixing different types of cigarettes. Since the confiscated cigarettes are placed in an orderly manner on the symmetrical placement platforms 13 on both sides of the partitions 12, the staff can quickly and accurately find the location of the required cigarettes when storing, inventorying and retrieving them. The partitions 12 are hollow and have exhaust holes 1201 on both sides. The exhaust holes 1201 are located between the two placement platforms 13. When the dehumidification unit 2 is working, an upward negative pressure will be formed inside the partitions 12. Then, the humid air between the placement platforms 13 will be drawn into the space between the partitions 12 through the exhaust holes 1201 and then discharged from the top of the partitions 12, thereby improving the overall dehumidification efficiency and effectively preventing the confiscated cigarettes from becoming moldy and deteriorating due to moisture.

[0039] In one embodiment, a guide plate 14 is provided at the top of the partition 12. The guide plate 14 is located outside the dehumidification unit 2. The top of the partition 12 is provided with a top opening 1202 that communicates with the guide plate 14.

[0040] This design is for reference. Figure 7 ,as well as Figure 8 The air guide plate 14 is located at the top of the partition 12 and outside the dehumidification unit 2. When the ventilation unit 3 is turned on and the dehumidification unit 2 is turned on, when the outside air enters the storage box 1, the moisture inside the storage box 1 is drawn into the partition 12. Under the action of the air guide plate 14, the humid gas can be directly discharged from the top of the partition 12 to the storage box 1. The top opening 1202 is connected to the air guide plate 14. With the work of the dehumidification unit 2, an orderly air circulation system can be formed in the storage box 1.

[0041] In one embodiment, the dehumidification unit 2 includes: a mounting box 21 disposed on the inner top wall of the storage box 1; a ventilation hood 26 disposed on the top of the storage box 1; a fan 22 disposed inside the mounting box 21 for extracting humid air from inside the storage box 1; and a sealing assembly disposed on the mounting box 21 for sealing the top of the ventilation hood 26.

[0042] This design is for reference. Figure 7 ,as well as Figure 8 The mounting box 21 is located on the top wall inside the storage box 1, and the fan 22 is placed inside the mounting box 21, so that the fan 22 can directly act on the air inside the storage box 1. When the fan 22 is turned on, it can draw the humid air inside the storage box 1 upward. The bottom end of the partition 12 is sealed, and exhaust holes 1201 are opened on both sides. When the fan 22 is turned on, a negative pressure will be formed inside the partition 12, which will draw the humid air above the placement platform 13 into the partition 12 through the exhaust holes 1201, and then discharge it from the top opening 1202 of the storage box 1. This forms an airflow direction that moves from bottom to top and into the exhaust holes 1201 between each partition 12, and discharges from the top opening 1202 of the partition 12. This allows the humid air to pass through the partition 12 more smoothly and be discharged from the storage box 1, further improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0043] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly includes: a first power member 24 disposed at the upper end of the mounting box 21; and a sealing cover 25 disposed at the power output end of the first power member 24 and located above the ventilation cover 26 for sealing the mounting box 21. The first power member 24 includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear guide, an electric push rod, and a pneumatic cylinder.

[0044] This design is for reference. Figure 7 ,as well as Figure 8The first power component 24 drives the sealing cover 25 to seal the ventilation cover 26, ensuring a tight fit between the sealing cover 25 and the ventilation cover 26, forming a reliable sealing barrier. When the storage box 1 is not dehumidified, it can effectively prevent external dust, water vapor, moisture and small insects from entering the storage box 1. The protective net 23 is fixed inside the ventilation cover 26, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the installation box 21 when the ventilation cover 26 is opened.

[0045] In one embodiment, the ventilation unit 3 includes: a sealing box 31 with openings at both the top and bottom ends, located at the bottom of the storage box 1 and between the placement platform 13 and the inner wall of the storage box 1, for sealing the bottom of the storage box 1; a second power component 32, disposed on the sealing box 31; and a sealing plate 33, disposed at the power output end of the second power component 32 and abutting against the upper opening of the sealing box 31, for sealing the top of the sealing box 31. The lower end of the sealing box 31 has an air inlet 3101. The second power component 32 includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear guide rail, an electric push rod, and a pneumatic cylinder.

[0046] This design is for reference. Figure 4-6 The sealed box 31 has openings at both the top and bottom and is located between the placement platform 13 and the inner wall of the storage box 1. This layout allows the sealing plate 33 to move upward under the control of the second power component 32, so that when the air inlet 3101 at the bottom of the storage box 1 is opened, air can be guided to flow along a specific path. When dehumidification is required, air can enter from the air inlet 3101 at the bottom of the sealed box 31, pass through the area below the placement platform 13, and then be discharged from the partition 12, forming an orderly airflow circulation. The combined use of the sealed box 31 and the sealing plate 33 can form a good sealing environment when dehumidification is not required, which can effectively prevent external moisture from entering the interior of the storage box 1, protect the confiscated cigarettes from moisture erosion, prevent the cigarettes from becoming moldy and deteriorating, and extend the shelf life of the confiscated cigarettes.
