[0135] In this application, the storage cabinet also includes an electrical control component 60. The cooling and dehumidifying component 20, the cooling component 30, the heating component 40, and the humidifying component 50 are all electrically connected to the electrical control component 60 so as to control the start and stop of the cooling and dehumidifying component 20, the cooling component 30, the heating component 40, and the humidifying component 50 through the electrical control component 60.
[0136] Optionally, the electronic control component 60 is located within the second mounting cavity.
[0137] In this application, the storage cabinet also includes a drawer 70, which is removably installed in the first mounting cavity 102.
[0138] Optionally, drawer 70 is used to store cigar cutters and lighters.
[0139] In the specific implementation process, the refrigeration component 30 belongs to the temperature maintenance system inside the cabinet 10. Since the cold end temperature of the refrigeration component 30 is relatively high during operation, generally higher than the condensation temperature, the operation of the refrigeration component 30 has almost no impact on the humidity inside the cabinet 10.
[0140] It should be noted that, given a fixed humidity and temperature inside the cabinet, the temperature at which condensation occurs inside the cabinet can be calculated. For example, with a humidity of 70% and a temperature of 18°C, the calculated condensation temperature is 12°C. However, if the temperature inside the cabinet is 18°C, condensation will not occur.
[0141] The cold end of the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 is the cold end cooling plate 26. When the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 is working, the temperature of the cold end cooling plate 26 is relatively low (e.g., 2°C). In addition, with the action of the cold end fan 23, the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 can be used for rapid cooling and dehumidification.
[0142] Both the cooling and dehumidifying unit 20 and the cooling unit 30 use semiconductor refrigeration. The difference lies in their operating conditions: the cooling unit 30 is designed to stop working when its cold-end cold storage plate 31 reaches approximately 18°C, while the cooling and dehumidifying unit 20 continuously cools to ensure its cold-end temperature remains below 0°C. The lower the cold-end temperature, the faster the cooling rate inside the cabinet. The cooling and dehumidifying unit 20 uses a cold-end heat-conducting plate 26, resulting in a fast cold energy transfer rate. The cooling unit 30 uses a cold storage plate 31. Because the cold storage liquid can store cold energy, the cooling unit 30 is not suitable for rapid cooling. However, due to the phase change characteristics of the cold storage liquid material, the cold storage plate 31 can maintain a specific temperature for a relatively long time. Even when the second semiconductor refrigeration chip 32 is not working, the cold storage plate 31 can still be used to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet.
[0143] When the environment inside cabinet 10 is hot and humid, specifically referring to the high temperature and humidity environment in the receiving cavity 101, the cooling and dehumidification component 20 is activated for rapid cooling. When the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, the humidity inside cabinet 10 is assessed. If the humidity inside cabinet 10 is high, the cooling and dehumidification component 20 continues to operate, while the heating component 40 is activated to compensate for the temperature inside cabinet 10, maintaining the temperature inside cabinet 10 at the set temperature until the humidity inside cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity level. At this point, both the heating component 40 and the cooling and dehumidification component 20 cease operation. The refrigeration component 30 controls the temperature inside the cabinet 10. At this time, the operation of the refrigeration component 30 has little impact on the humidity inside the cabinet 10. If the humidity inside the cabinet 10 is lower than the set value, the refrigeration and dehumidification component 20 stops working, and the refrigeration component 30 controls the temperature inside the cabinet 10. At this time, the operation of the refrigeration component 30 has little impact on the humidity inside the cabinet 10. The humidification component 50 is then activated to adjust the humidity inside the cabinet 10. When the humidity inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set value, the humidification component 50 stops working.
[0144] When the environment inside the cabinet 10 is high temperature and low humidity, mainly referring to the environment inside the cavity 101 being high temperature and low humidity, the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 is turned on for rapid cooling, and the humidifying component 50 is turned on; when the temperature inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 stops working, and the cooling component 30 takes over to control the temperature inside the cabinet 10; when the humidity inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set value, the humidifying component 50 stops working.
[0145] When the cabinet 10 is in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment, which mainly refers to the accommodating cavity 101 being in a low-temperature and high-humidity environment, the cooling and dehumidification component 20 is turned on first to dehumidify, and then the heating component 40 is turned on to adjust and control the temperature inside the cabinet 10.
[0146] When the cabinet 10 is in a low temperature and low humidity environment, which mainly refers to the accommodating cavity 101 being in a low temperature and low humidity environment, the heating component 40 and the humidifying component 50 are turned on to adjust and control the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 10.
[0147] The temperature and humidity inside the cabinet 10 in this application mainly refer to the temperature and humidity of the accommodating cavity 101.
[0148] The control methods applicable to the above storage cabinets include:
[0149] Determine the temperature and humidity inside cabinet 10 of the storage cabinet;
[0150] When the temperature inside cabinet 10 exceeds the set temperature and the humidity inside cabinet 10 exceeds the set humidity, cabinet 10 is in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment. Step S11: Control the cooling and dehumidification component 20 of the storage cabinet to turn on until the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, then determine the humidity inside cabinet 10. Step S121: When the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature and the humidity inside cabinet 10 exceeds the set humidity, i.e., when the humidity inside cabinet 10 is high, control the cooling and dehumidification component 20 to continue working and control the heating component 40 of the storage cabinet to turn on, so that the humidity inside cabinet 10 is high. The temperature is maintained at the set temperature, and the humidity inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity. When the humidity inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity, the heating component 40 and the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 are both stopped working, and the cooling component 30 of the storage cabinet is turned on. Step S122: When the temperature inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, and when the humidity inside the cabinet 10 is less than the set humidity, the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 is stopped working, and the cooling component 30 and the humidifying component 50 are both turned on. When the humidity inside the cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity, the humidifying component 50 is stopped working.
[0151] It should be noted that steps S121 and S122 are performed after step S11. Steps S121 and S122 are steps performed under two different circumstances, and there is no order of precedence.
[0152] When the temperature inside cabinet 10 is higher than the set temperature and the humidity inside cabinet 10 is lower than the set humidity, cabinet 10 is in a high temperature and low humidity environment, and both the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 and the humidifying component 50 are turned on. When the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, the cooling and dehumidifying component 20 is turned off and the cooling component 30 is turned on. When the humidity inside cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity, the humidifying component 50 is turned off.
[0153] When the temperature inside cabinet 10 is lower than the set temperature and the humidity inside cabinet 10 is higher than the set humidity, cabinet 10 is in a low-temperature, high-humidity environment. The cooling and dehumidification component 20 is turned on until the humidity inside cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity. Then, the cooling and dehumidification component 20 stops working and the heating component 40 is turned on to adjust the temperature inside cabinet 10. That is, when the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, the heating component 40 stops working. After a period of time, if the temperature inside cabinet 10 falls below the set temperature again, the heating component 40 is turned on again.
[0154] When the temperature inside cabinet 10 is lower than the set temperature and the humidity inside cabinet 10 is lower than the set humidity, the environment inside cabinet 10 is a low-temperature, low-humidity environment. Both the heating element 40 and the humidifying element 50 are activated to adjust the temperature and humidity inside cabinet 10. Specifically, when the humidity inside cabinet 10 reaches the set humidity, the humidifying element 50 stops working. After a period of time, if the humidity inside cabinet 10 falls below the set humidity again, the humidifying element 50 is activated again. Similarly, when the temperature inside cabinet 10 reaches the set temperature, the heating element 40 stops working. After a period of time, if the temperature inside cabinet 10 falls below the set temperature again, the heating element 40 is activated again.
