Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine cabinet technology, and more specifically to a wine cabinet with a display panel that changes color synchronously. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most wine cabinets on the market are equipped with internal lighting, and some mid-to-high-end wine cabinets even use RGB lighting structures, allowing users to set different colors to create ambiance or indicate different functional statuses. However, the control panel lighting of existing wine cabinets is usually a single color, such as white backlighting, lacking linkage or visual consistency with the color-changing internal lighting. Especially in wine cabinets with color-changing lighting, although the internal lighting can be programmed to display red, blue, green, etc., the control panel itself still maintains a fixed color display, creating a visual disconnect. This not only affects the overall aesthetics but also reduces the user's intuitive perception of the lighting status. In addition, the buttons and display areas of the current control panel usually use fixed backlighting, unable to respond to changes in the wine cabinet's lighting color tone, lacking interactivity and intelligent design. Therefore, there is still room for improvement to enhance the user experience and aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0024] A wine cabinet with a display panel that changes color synchronously, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown, this wine cabinet mainly consists of a cabinet body and cabinet doors. Cabinet body 1 is the main structure of the wine cabinet, with an open front for installing the cabinet doors. The cabinet body is made of metal or high-strength plastic, possessing excellent sealing and insulation properties. Cabinet doors 2 are located on the front of cabinet body 1, with opening and closing functions for convenient access to wine bottles. Cabinet doors 2 have a glass panel 21, made of high-transmittance tempered glass or double-glazed glass, providing UV protection and heat insulation to ensure uniform lighting inside the wine cabinet and prevent UV rays from affecting the wine quality. Inside cabinet body 1, there are partition panels 7 to divide the cabinet space into upper and lower layers. The partition panels are made of heat-insulating material, ensuring structural strength and preventing temperature interference. Cabinet body 1 also has multiple shelves 9 arranged horizontally within the upper and lower layers for placing and securing multiple wine bottles. Shelves 9 can be made of solid wood, metal, or durable plastic, designed with grooves or fixing slots to prevent bottles from rolling and colliding, ensuring wine storage safety and easy access. A control panel 3 is located on the front side of the partition panel 7, near the cabinet door. Users can observe and operate the control panel through the glass panel 21. The control panel 3 includes a display panel 31 and touch buttons 32. The display panel 31 displays information such as the wine cabinet temperature, humidity, and light color. It uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, supporting color display. The touch buttons 32 are capacitive touch designs with backlighting elements, allowing for color variation synchronized with the wine cabinet lights, making operation intuitive and convenient. The wine cabinet lights 4 are color-changing light strips inside the cabinet 1, distributed on both sides of the open side of the cabinet 1. However, their structure is not limited to this embodiment. The light strips use RGB LEDs, supporting multi-color lighting to ensure uniform and soft internal light. A fan 8 is installed on the partition panel 7 to regulate the temperature and humidity balance between the upper and lower layers of the cabinet 1. The fan 8 is controlled by a synchronous control module to ensure a stable internal environment. Temperature sensors are arranged at different locations inside the cabinet, collecting temperature and humidity data in real time and transmitting it to the synchronous control module.

[0025] The synchronization control module (not shown in the figure) is the core control unit of this wine cabinet. It is electrically connected to the wine cabinet light 4, display panel 31, touch button 32 backlight light source, fan 8 and temperature and humidity sensor. It is responsible for the synchronization control of light color and the detection and adjustment of environmental parameters.

[0026] Furthermore, to ensure the wine cabinet's internal temperature and humidity are suitable for wine storage, it also includes: Refrigeration components: including a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and refrigerant circulation system, maintaining a stable low-temperature environment inside the cabinet, typically controlled within the range of 10-15 degrees Celsius. Heating components (optional): to prevent excessively low temperatures from damaging the wine's quality in a low-temperature environment. Humidification system: maintaining the relative humidity inside the cabinet at 50%-80% to prevent the cork from drying out and cracking; typically includes a water tank and humidifier. Door seals: sealing strips are installed around the cabinet doors to improve sealing performance, prevent cold air loss, and ensure stable temperature and humidity.

[0027] Furthermore, both the display panel 31 and the touch buttons 32 are equipped with backlighting elements. The backlight light source uses adjustable RGB LEDs, supporting multiple color displays. The display panel can be a color LCD or OLED screen, while the touch buttons integrate color backlighting, making the button outlines and text clearly visible in dark environments. The synchronous control module adjusts the color output of the wine cabinet light 4 according to the color command selected by the user via the touch buttons 32. PWM modulation or digital signal control is used to ensure that the light strips, display panel, and buttons emit consistent and color-different colors. After receiving the color adjustment command, the control module simultaneously controls the backlight sources of the wine cabinet light 4 and the control panel, enabling them to switch colors synchronously in real time, achieving a visually unified effect. Users can operate via the touch buttons 32 to: turn the wine cabinet light 4 on / off; adjust the light color and brightness; view current temperature and humidity data; and select the working mode (automatic or manual) of the fan 8. The control panel display panel 31 displays environmental data and the current lighting status in real time, providing feedback to the user's operations.

[0028] Furthermore, the partition panel 7 divides the interior of cabinet 1 into upper and lower sections to meet the storage needs of different wines. A fan 8 is installed on the partition panel 7 to regulate airflow between the upper and lower sections, preventing excessive temperature and humidity differences. The fan is jointly controlled by temperature and humidity sensors and a synchronous control module. The temperature and humidity sensors are located on both the upper and lower sections to monitor environmental conditions. The synchronous control module automatically starts and stops the fan 8 according to preset parameters.

[0029] When the temperature or humidity difference between the upper and lower floors exceeds the set threshold, fan 8 starts to balance the environment; when the environment is stable, fan 8 automatically shuts off to save energy and reduce noise. Users can also manually select the fan 8 mode via control panel 3, including automatic, normally open, normally closed, etc.

[0030] Furthermore, a typical operating procedure is as follows: the user connects the power supply to the wine cabinet, and the control panel 3 and the wine cabinet light 4 light up; the user selects the color of the wine cabinet light 4 through the touch button 32, and the wine cabinet light 4 and the backlight of the control panel change color synchronously; the control panel display panel 31 displays the current temperature and humidity status, which the user can monitor in real time; the temperature and humidity sensor detects the environment inside the cabinet, and the fan 8 starts and stops according to the module instructions to ensure a balanced internal environment; if the user needs to adjust the temperature and humidity, they can input parameters through the control panel 3, and the system will automatically perform the adjustment.

[0031] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
