Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other, and the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments.

[0018] See Figure 1-8This embodiment describes a cigarette humidifier box, comprising a box body and a humidification mechanism. The box body includes an upper box body 8 and a lower box body 7. The upper box body 8 is disposed on top of the lower box body 7 and is connected to it to ensure overall airtightness. The humidification mechanism is disposed on one side inside the lower box body 7. The humidification mechanism includes a water storage box 1, a fan 3, a peristaltic pump 4, and a water-retaining cotton 5. The water storage box 1 provides a water source to increase humidity in the humidifier box. The water outlet 18 of the water storage box is connected to the water inlet 20 of the peristaltic pump through a pipeline, providing a water source for the peristaltic pump 4 to operate. A water-filling channel is provided for the water-storing cotton. The water-storing cotton 5 is placed inside the water-storing cotton box 25, which has an opening at the top for placing and replacing the water-storing cotton 5. The peristaltic pump outlet 21 is connected to the water-storing cotton box 25 through a pipe. The water-storing cotton box 25 is connected to the internal space of the lower box 7. The fan 3 is located on one side of the water-storing cotton box 25 and is connected to the water-storing cotton box 25 through the fan nozzle 19. The water inside the water-storing cotton 5 enters the fan 3 through the fan nozzle 19. The air outlet of the fan 3 is connected to the internal space of the lower box 7.

[0019] In this embodiment, the internal space of the lower box 7 is divided into a humidification mechanism area 13 and a cigarette placement area 14 by a support 10. The humidification mechanism is set in the humidification mechanism area 13. The water storage box 1, fan 3, peristaltic pump 4 and water storage cotton box 25 are all connected to the support 10. The support 10 clearly divides the internal space of the box into the humidification mechanism area 13 and the cigarette placement area 14. The components of the humidification mechanism are concentrated on the support 10. This design makes the whole device compact, rationally laid out, and highly integrated, which is easy to assemble and maintain. At the same time, it effectively reduces the overall volume and makes it lightweight and portable.

[0020] In this embodiment, a plurality of evaporation holes 23 are provided on the support 10 on one side of the water storage cotton box 25. The water storage cotton box 25 is connected to the cigarette placement area 14 through the evaporation holes 23, and the water in the water storage cotton 5 can enter the cigarette placement area 14 through the evaporation holes 23.

[0021] In this embodiment, a fan air hole 24 is provided on the bracket 10 on one side of the air outlet of the fan 3. The air outlet of the fan 3 is connected to the cigarette placement area 14 through the fan air hole 24. The fan 3 absorbs moisture from the water-storing cotton 5 and blows the moisture towards the cigarette placement area 14 through the fan air hole 24 on the bracket where the fan 3 is placed. The fan 3 actively blows the moisture towards the cigarette placement area through the fan nozzle 19 and the fan air hole 24 on the bracket 10. Compared with the passive evaporation method, it can spread the moisture to the entire storage space more quickly and evenly, avoiding local dryness or wetness.

[0022] In this embodiment, the top of the water storage box 1 is provided with a water inlet 16. The water inlet 16 is a hole for adding water to the water storage box. It is closed when not filled with water. A pressure balancing port 17 is provided on one side of the water storage box 1. The pressure balancing port 17 is connected to a one-way valve 2 through a pipeline. The one-way valve 2 allows air to enter the water storage box 1 to maintain the pressure balance between the water storage box 1 and the outside atmospheric pressure.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bracket 10 is provided with a first mounting hole 22, and the humidity monitoring instrument 6 is connected to the bracket 10 through the first mounting hole 22. The humidity monitoring instrument 6 is used to monitor the humidity in the humidification box. The water storage cotton box 25 is provided with a second mounting hole 26 on one side, and the fan nozzle 19 is connected to the water storage cotton box 25 through the second mounting hole 26.

[0024] By setting up a humidity meter 6 to monitor the humidity in the cigarette storage area 14 in real time, and combining the humidity display and the fan controller to drive the fan 3 to work, the moisture in the water storage cotton 5 is accurately blown to the cigarette storage area 14. This realizes the automated and closed-loop control of the humidity in the cigarette storage area 14, ensuring that the humidity is maintained at the optimal level, effectively preventing the loss of moisture from the cigarettes, significantly extending the shelf life of cigarettes, especially cigars, and ensuring their taste and quality.

[0025] In this embodiment, a peristaltic pump controller 12 is provided on the support 10. The peristaltic pump controller 12 is connected to the peristaltic pump 4 through a wire and is used to control the peristaltic pump 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, a metal monitoring strip 11 is provided inside the water storage cotton 5. The metal monitoring strip 11 monitors the water content inside the water storage cotton 5. The metal monitoring strip 11 is connected to the peristaltic pump controller 12 through a wire to provide feedback on the humidity of the water storage cotton 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, a humidity display and fan controller 9 is provided on one side of the lower box 7. The humidity display and fan controller 9 is installed in a hole opened on one side of the lower box 7. The humidity monitoring instrument 6 and the fan 3 are both connected to the humidity display and fan controller 9 through wires. The humidity display and fan controller 9 includes an external humidity display screen and an internal fan controller. The external humidity display screen can display the humidity inside the humidification box through the detection of the humidity monitoring instrument 6, so as to observe the humidity inside the box. The fan controller is used to control the start, stop and speed of the fan 3. When the humidity decreases, the humidity display and fan controller 9 drives the fan 3 to maintain the humidity of the cigarette storage area 14 at a fixed level.

[0028] The moisture content of the water-storing cotton 5 is monitored in real time by a metal monitoring strip 11 installed inside the water-storing cotton 5. The signal is fed back to the peristaltic pump controller 12, which controls the peristaltic pump 4 to draw an appropriate amount of water from the water storage box 1 to replenish the water-storing cotton 5. This achieves the automatic maintenance of the humidity of the water-storing cotton 5, ensuring that it continuously and stably provides a water source for humidification and reducing human intervention.

[0029] In this embodiment, a support cover 15 is provided above the moisturizing mechanism. The support cover 15 is connected to the support 10 to ensure that the humidity of the water-storing cotton 5 decreases slowly.

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present invention. The embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the present invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the present invention.
