[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a smart temperature-controlled box for preserving fresh-cut flowers, including a preservation box 1. The preservation box 1 is internally equipped with a cooler 5, a temperature and humidity sensor 6, a humidifier 7, and a heater 8. The surface of the preservation box 1 is provided with an air inlet channel 23 and an air outlet channel 24. A circular groove 9 is formed on the surface of the preservation box 1, the bottom of which is connected to the air inlet channel. A dustproof plate 10 is provided inside the circular groove 9. A handle 20 and a locking block 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the dustproof plate 10. A locking pin 15 is slidably connected inside the locking block 14. A pull rod 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking pin 15, and a spring 17 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 16. The surface of the food storage box 1 is fixedly connected to a card holder 13, and a locking pin 15 is inserted into the inside of the card holder 13. A dustproof net 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the end of the air outlet channel 24. There are two sets of locking pins 15, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle of the surface of the dustproof plate 10. The surface of the food storage box 1 is equipped with an intelligent controller 4. The cooler 5, temperature and humidity sensor 6, humidifier 7 and heater 8 are all electrically connected to the intelligent controller 4. A fan 21 is installed inside the air outlet channel 24. The fan 21 is located inside the dustproof net 22. The surface of the food storage box 1 is rotatably connected to a door 2. A transparent observation window 3 is embedded in the surface of the door 2.

[0025] In this embodiment, the dustproof plate 10 installed at the air inlet channel can prevent dust and impurities from the external environment from entering the preservation box 1 with the air, avoiding dust adhering to the surface of the fresh-cut flowers and affecting their appearance and quality. It also reduces the interference of dust accumulation inside the box on the normal operation of the refrigeration, heating, and ventilation systems. The dustproof plate 10 is fixed by a simple connection structure composed of a locking block 14, locking pins 15, a pull rod 16, a spring 17, and a mounting base 13. Compared with some dustproof structures that use complex connection methods such as multiple screws, this structure makes disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the dustproof plate 10 simpler and faster, saving time and effort and facilitating daily maintenance. The two sets of locking pins 15 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the center of the surface of the dustproof plate 10, ensuring that the dustproof plate 10 is installed and fixed in the circular groove 9 with more even and balanced force, stably preventing dust from entering. The intelligent controller 4 is electrically connected to the cooler 5, temperature and humidity sensor 6, humidifier 7, and heater 8. Based on the real-time temperature and humidity monitoring data from the temperature and humidity sensor 6, the intelligent controller 4 automatically analyzes and precisely controls the operation of the cooler 5, humidifier 7, and heater 8, achieving precise adjustment of the internal temperature and humidity. This simulates the most suitable environmental conditions for preserving cut flowers, effectively extending their shelf life and improving their preservation quality. A fan 21 inside the air outlet 24 facilitates smooth air exchange between the inside and outside air, improving air exchange efficiency. The transparent observation window 3 embedded in the door 2 allows users to directly observe the condition of the cut flowers and the equipment's operation without opening the door, facilitating daily observation and reducing temperature and humidity fluctuations caused by frequent door openings, thus helping to maintain a stable preservation environment.

[0026] Example 2: As Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, a sealing gasket 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the dustproof plate 10. The sealing gasket 18 is located between the bottom of the circular groove 9 and the dustproof plate 10. A limiting groove 11 is opened at the bottom of the circular groove 9. A magnet 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting groove 11. A limiting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the dustproof plate 10. The limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 and is magnetically connected to the magnet 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, the sealing gasket 18, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the dustproof plate 10, is located between the bottom of the circular groove 9 and the dustproof plate 10. It can fill the tiny gaps that may exist between the two, further preventing dust from entering the box from the gaps, enhancing the overall dustproof performance of the air intake channel 23, and better ensuring the cleanliness of the air inside the box and the freshness of the cut flowers. The limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 and magnetically connected to the magnet 12. On the one hand, it can play an auxiliary positioning role for the dustproof plate 10, so that the locking pin 15 can be quickly aligned with the card seat 13, improving the convenience of inserting the locking pin 15 into the card seat 13. On the other hand, it can also make the edge of the dustproof plate 10 fit more closely with the circular groove 9, further enhancing the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 18.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the temperature and humidity sensor 6 first monitors the temperature and humidity inside the preservation box 1 in real time and transmits the relevant data to the intelligent controller 4. The intelligent controller 4 is pre-set with the optimal temperature and humidity range required for preserving cut flowers. Upon receiving the data from the temperature and humidity sensor 6, it performs comparative analysis. If the temperature inside the box is detected to be higher than the set upper limit of the suitable temperature, the intelligent controller 4 will control the cooler 5 to start working. The cooler 5 lowers the temperature inside the box through cooling, bringing it back to the suitable temperature range. Conversely, if the temperature is lower than the set lower limit, the intelligent controller 4 will control the heater 8 to start. The heater 8 provides heat to the inside of the box, raising the temperature to the suitable range, thereby achieving precise temperature control inside the box. Regarding humidity regulation, when the humidity sensor detects that the humidity inside the box is lower than the set lower limit of the suitable humidity, the intelligent controller 4 will control the humidifier 7 to start. The humidifier 7 releases water vapor into the box, increasing the air humidity.If the humidity exceeds the set upper limit, it can be adjusted through natural ventilation or during subsequent air exchange (with the air outlet channel 24 and air inlet channel 23 working together), combined with the dehumidification mechanism inside the box (such as condensation dehumidification that may occur during the refrigeration process) and the entry of relatively dry outside air, to maintain the humidity within a suitable range for fresh-cut flower preservation. When air circulates inside the preservation box 1, the fan 21 installed inside the air outlet channel 24 operates according to certain rules (which can be preset and controlled by the intelligent controller 4, such as timed start-up, or start-up as needed based on parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the box), causing the air inside the box to be discharged to the outside through the air outlet channel 24. Outside air enters the chamber through the air intake channel 23. During intake, the air first passes through the dustproof plate 10 at the circular groove 9. The dustproof plate 10 uses its structure to block external dust from entering, preventing dust from adhering to the surface of the cut flowers and affecting their appearance and quality. It also reduces the accumulation of dust inside the chamber, minimizing interference with the normal operation of the refrigeration, heating, and ventilation systems. When the dustproof plate 10 needs to be disassembled for cleaning, pull the lever 16. The lever 16 causes the locking pin 15 to slide inside the locking block 14 and compress the spring 17. The locking pin 15 then disengages from the locking seat 13. Finally, grasp the handle 20 on the dustproof plate 10 to remove it from the circular groove 9. Compared to dustproof structures using complex connection methods such as multiple screws, this design makes disassembling, cleaning, or replacing the dustproof plate 10 much simpler and faster, saving time and effort and facilitating daily maintenance. When the dustproof plate 10 is installed at the air inlet channel on the preservation box 1, the sealing gasket 18 fixedly connected to the surface of the dustproof plate 10 is located between the bottom of the circular groove 9 and the dustproof plate 10, filling any small gaps that may exist between them. This further prevents dust from outside air from entering the box through the gaps, enhancing the overall dustproof performance of the air inlet channel 23 and better ensuring the cleanliness of the air inside the box and the preservation environment for fresh-cut flowers. The limiting rod 19 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 and is connected to the magnetic... The magnetic connection of iron 12 serves two purposes: firstly, it assists in positioning the dustproof plate 10, allowing the locking pin 15 to quickly align with the card holder 13, improving the ease of insertion of the locking pin 15 into the card holder 13; secondly, it ensures a closer fit between the edge of the dustproof plate 10 and the circular groove 9, further enhancing the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 18. During use, the observation window 3 on the surface of the door 2 allows for easy monitoring of the interior, and minimizing the number of times the door is opened helps maintain relatively stable environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the box. Overall, this creates a suitable temperature and humidity environment with clean, well-ventilated air for cut flowers, effectively extending their shelf life and improving their preservation quality.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
