[0022] 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. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention.

[0024] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.

[0025] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0026] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a self-circulating water system, including: a circulation module equipped with a compressor, a water tank evaporator 201, and a condensate evaporator 202.

[0029] The refrigerant output of the circulation module passes through the electric switching valve 204 and capillary tube 203. One path enters the water tank evaporator 201 and then returns to the circulation module through the capillary tube 203. The other path enters the condensate evaporator 202 and then returns to the circulation module through the capillary tube 203.

[0030] The electric switching valve 204 is used to switch the connection between the capillary tube 203 and the water tank evaporator 201 and the condensate evaporator 202.

[0031] The water tank evaporator 201 is located inside the water storage tank 3, and the condensate evaporator 202 is located inside the condensate chamber 4.

[0032] The water storage tank 3 is also equipped with a circulation pump and a humidification pump. The circulation pump is connected to the compartment evaporator 107, which is used to cool the compartment. The humidification pump is connected to the humidification spray nozzle 108, which is used to humidify the compartment.

[0033] The condensation chamber 4 and the water storage tank 3 are connected by a water valve 106.

[0034] The condensate evaporator 202 of this invention stores the condensed water into the water storage tank 3 through the water valve 106. The water tank evaporator 201 cools the water in the water storage tank 3, and part of it is used for spraying, while the other part is used as a refrigerant for cooling the compartment evaporator 107.

[0035] Condensate is usually free of minerals and other chemical additives and is relatively pure. Using the condensate from the evaporator 202 for humidification and cooling water circulation can reduce the requirements for water treatment and equipment scaling, providing a healthier humidification and cooling environment, and is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0036] This invention can complete the humidification requirement without an external water source, which improves the system's flexibility and independence, helps to expand the product's application locations and scope, and saves water resources and reduces maintenance costs.

[0037] The circulation module includes a compressor 208, a bottom-cooled condenser 207, an anti-condensation pipe 206, and a dryer filter 205 connected in sequence; the dryer filter 205 is connected to the input end of the capillary tube 203 through the electric switching valve 204; the output end of the capillary tube 203 is connected to the input end of the compressor 208.

[0038] This invention improves the working efficiency of the entire system by sequentially arranging the compressor 208, the bottom-cooled condenser 207, the anti-condensation pipe 206, and the dryer filter 205.

[0039] The water valve 106 is equipped with a filter device.

[0040] The filtration device of this invention can remove other impurities that have entered the condensate chamber 4.

[0041] The bottom of the water storage tank 3 is equipped with a drain pump 103, which is used to drain excess water from the water storage tank 3 to the outside of the entire device.

[0042] This invention uses a drainage pump 103 to prevent water from overflowing from the water storage tank 3.

[0043] The water storage tank 3 is also equipped with a water tank temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor.

[0044] This invention obtains the temperature of the water inside the water tank through a water tank temperature sensor, and then controls the start and stop of the cooling of the compartment evaporator 107. The start and stop time of the condensate evaporator 202 is controlled by real-time feedback of the water volume through a liquid level sensor.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water storage tank 3 is equipped with an upper chamber circulation pump 101, a lower chamber circulation pump 102, a lower chamber humidification pump 104 and an upper chamber humidification pump 105.

[0046] The upper chamber circulation pump 101 and the lower chamber circulation pump 102 are respectively connected to the chamber evaporators 107 in the upper chamber 1 and the lower chamber 2; the lower chamber humidification pump 104 and the upper chamber humidification pump 105 are respectively connected to the humidification spray nozzles 108 in the upper chamber 1 and the lower chamber 2.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 2 of this utility model provides a cigar cabinet, including the above-mentioned self-circulating water system and at least one compartment.

[0048] The bottom of the lowest compartment is provided with a condensate chamber 4, and the bottom of the condensate chamber 4 is connected to the water storage tank 3 through a condensate pan 305.

[0049] This invention places the condensate chamber 4 and the water storage tank 3 adjacent to each other, which not only reduces the length of the connecting pipes between the two, but also speeds up the process of condensate from the condensate chamber 4 entering the water storage tank 3.

[0050] Each compartment has an air outlet 302 and an air return outlet 303 on its rear wall. A compartment evaporator 107 is provided behind the air outlet 302. A humidifying spray nozzle 108 is provided on the top of the compartment evaporator 107. A fan 304 is provided behind the compartment evaporator 107.

[0051] This invention enables the fan 304 to blow low-temperature and / or humid gas from the side of the evaporator 107 into the corresponding compartment, and to exhaust the air in the compartment through the return air vent 303, thereby accelerating the cooling and humidification process.

[0052] Each room is equipped with a room humidity sensor and a room temperature sensor.

[0053] This invention uses room humidity sensors and room temperature sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity of each room in real time, thereby accurately activating the corresponding humidification pump and circulation pump.

[0054] A mechanical chamber 306 is provided on one side of the water storage tank 3 and the condensate chamber 4. The mechanical chamber 306 contains components such as a compressor 208 and a bottom-cooled condenser 207.

[0055] This utility model places components such as the compressor 208 and the bottom-cooled condenser 207 inside the machine room 306, which can reduce the length of the pipeline and save floor space. The centralized layout can also reduce the number of bends, thereby reducing refrigerant resistance loss.

[0056] The water storage tank 3 is also equipped with a humidification pump and a circulation pump, which are the same number as the number of rooms.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cigar cabinet has an upper compartment 1 and a lower compartment 2.

[0058] The working principle is as follows:

[0059] When the temperature inside the room is high, the humidity is suitable, and the water level in the water tank 3 is higher than the minimum water level line, the self-circulating water system needs to be cooled. At this time, the electric switching valve 204 switches to the water tank evaporator 201 to cool the water in the water tank 3, turns on the circulation pump, and uses the room evaporator 107 to cool the room.

[0060] When the humidity inside the room is low, the temperature is suitable, and the water level in the water tank 3 is higher than the minimum water level line, the self-circulating water system needs to be humidified. At this time, the humidification pump is turned on, and the condensate in the water tank 3 is sprayed onto the surface of the evaporator 107 of the room through the humidification spray nozzle 108 to increase the humidity of the room.

[0061] When the indoor humidity is low and the temperature is high, the self-circulating water system needs to cool and humidify simultaneously, at which point both the circulation pump and the humidification pump are turned on. If the water level in the water tank 3 drops below the minimum water level line, humidification is suspended to prioritize cooling. Once the room temperature meets the requirements, condensation is resumed until the water level in the water tank 3 returns to normal before humidification resumes.

[0062] When the internal temperature of the compartment is suitable and the water level inside the water storage tank 3 is below the minimum water level line, the electric switching valve 204 switches to the condensate evaporator 202. By reducing the surface temperature of the condensate evaporator 202, water vapor in the compartment is condensed and discharged into the water storage tank 3 through the water valve for compartment cooling and humidification. If the water level inside the tank is below the water level line but the internal temperature is high and cooling is required, the cooling demand is prioritized, and condensation is only performed after the compartment temperature reaches the required level.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
