[0002] The existing technology, Chinese patent 202122362280.9, describes a cigar cabinet. The cigar cabinet includes a water tank, a water-immersion evaporator, a heat exchanger, and a spray pipe. The water-immersion evaporator is located inside the water tank and cools the water to obtain cold water. The heat exchanger is located above the water tank. The inlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the water tank via a first water pipe, and the outlet of the heat exchanger is connected to the water tank via a second water pipe. The spray pipe is located above the heat exchanger and is connected to the water tank via a third water pipe to spray humidifying cold water onto the surface of the heat exchanger. The top of the water tank has a through hole, allowing some of the cold water sprayed onto the heat exchanger to drip back onto the water tank and flow back into the water tank through the through hole. The problem is that this method of humidification using a heat exchanger, evaporator, and spray pipe results in a complex structure and limited functionality. Utility Model Content

The air duct 4 is located inside one end of the water receiving tray 2, and the finned heat exchanger 5 is located inside the air duct 4, with both ends of the coil extending out of the air duct 4, i.e., the inlet pipe 51 and the outlet pipe 52 extend out of the air duct 4 respectively. The heat exchange fan 72 is located at one end of the air duct 4 and is opposite to the finned heat exchanger 5. The mounting bracket 6 is located on the water receiving tray 2. The other end of the water tray 2 is inside and opposite to the drain hole. The absorbent cotton is placed inside the base 6. The humidifying fan 71 is opposite to the base 6. The water pump is fixed to the water tray 2 through the bracket and extends out of the water tank 1. The water pump is connected to the inlet pipe 51 and the outlet pipe 52 is corresponding to the base 6. The top cover is fastened to the water tank 1. The finned heat exchanger and the base extend into the top cover. The humidifying fan 71 and the heat exchange fan 72 are connected to the humidifying hole 32 and the heat exchange hole 33, respectively.

[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model: the air outlet of the air duct 4 is located in the heat exchange fan cavity 82, and the heat exchange fan 72 is located inside the heat exchange fan cavity 82.

[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model: the frame 6 is hollow with an upper opening and is right-angled, and the wall panel is lattice-shaped; The drainage holes are distributed in a right-angled pattern; The horizontal right-angled side of the bracket 6 connects with the air duct 4, and the vertical right-angled side is parallel to the air duct 4, forming a rear-opening water cavity.

[0023] Example 2 like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a cigar cabinet includes a cabinet body 9, a compressor, a condenser, a PTC heater 10, and a humidification and cooling device for a cigar cabinet as described above. The cabinet 9 includes a device cavity 91 at the rear, a longitudinal air duct 92, and a functional cavity 93 at the bottom. The longitudinal air duct 92 and the functional cavity 93 are connected. The top plate of the functional cavity 93 is provided with a return air hole group 931 and a water injection hole 932. The PTC heater 10 is located at the bottom of the longitudinal air duct 92, and the PTC heater 10 and the heat exchange fan 72 work synchronously. The humidification and cooling device of the cigar cabinet is located in the functional cavity 93. The cover return air hole group 31 and the return air hole group 931 are connected, and the longitudinal air duct 92 of the humidification hole 32 and the heat exchange hole 33 are connected. The water injection hole 932 and the water filling hole 34 are connected.

[0024] When using this invention, the temperature and humidity are set via the control panel while the freezer is operating. When the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the temperature inside the cabinet 9 is higher than the set temperature, the compressor works, causing the evaporator in the water tank 1 to cool down. This causes the water temperature sensor 7 in the water tank 1 to detect that the water temperature is 10°C lower than the set temperature. At the same time, the water pump and heat exchange fan 72 control the input voltage of the water pump 2 to achieve the water flow. The cold water in the water tank 1 enters the water chamber through the water pump, inlet pipe 51, finned heat exchanger 5, and outlet pipe 52. The water entering the water chamber is humidified by the absorbent cotton and then flows back to the water tank through the water tray 2. The air inside the cabinet 9 enters the finned heat exchanger 5 for heat exchange through the return air hole group 931 and the cover return air hole group 31. The cold air enters the cabinet 9 through the longitudinal air duct 92. When the temperature is accurately reduced to the set temperature, the water pump and heat exchange fan 72 stop working.

[0025] When the temperature inside the cabinet is lower than the set temperature, the PTC heater 10 and the heat exchange fan 72 work to raise the temperature inside the cabinet 9 to the set temperature, and then the PTC heater 10 and the heat exchange fan 72 stop working.

[0026] When the humidity inside cabinet 9 is lower than the set humidity, the humidifying fan 71 starts. The air inside cabinet 9 returns to the cabinet through the return air vent group 931, the cover return air vent group 31, the water-absorbing cotton in the base frame 6, the humidifying fan 71, and the longitudinal air duct 92 to achieve humidification. When the humidity inside cabinet 9 is higher than the set humidity, the PTC heater 10, the heat exchange fan 82, and the water pump are turned on. The water vapor in the high-humidity air inside cabinet 9 is condensed into liquid water by the finned heat exchanger 5 and flows back to the insulated water tank 1. The designed heating capacity must be greater than the cooling capacity. If the temperature rises during the dehumidification process, the PTC heater 10 must be stopped. When the humidity reaches the set value, the PTC heater 10, the heat exchange fan 72, and the water pump stop working.
