[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a cigar drying box with a drying function, comprising a box body 1 and a visible cover 2.

[0022] The box 1 is used to store cigars, and a desiccant storage box 3 is provided inside the box 1; The desiccant storage box 3 is used to store desiccant; by storing desiccant in the desiccant storage box 3, the desiccant absorbs the moisture inside the box 1, maintaining a suitable dry environment inside the box and ensuring the quality of cigars.

[0023] The visible cover 2 is placed on top of the box body 1 and is used to observe the interior of the box body 1. A portion of the interior of the visible cover 2 is made of a transparent material, such as glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate (PC). The transparency of the visible cover 2 allows users to directly observe the condition of the cigars inside the box body 1 without opening the cover, thus reducing the ingress of moisture.

[0024] An indicator storage box 4 is provided on the outside of the box body 1. The indicator storage box 4 is used to store the indicator and is in communication with the inside of the box body 1. The indicator stored in the indicator storage box 4 will change color according to the humidity inside the box body 1. Users can intuitively judge the humidity inside the box body 1 by observing the color of the indicator so as to take appropriate measures in time.

[0025] The working principle is as follows: Cigars are placed in box 1, desiccant is placed in the pre-positioned desiccant storage box 3 to absorb moisture, and an indicator is placed inside the indicator storage box 4. The box is then sealed with the visible lid 2. The desiccant in the desiccant storage box 3 absorbs moisture released by the cigars and seeping into box 1 from the outside, reducing the humidity inside box 1. During this process, the user can observe the condition of the cigars without opening the lid. The indicator changes color according to the humidity level inside box 1. By observing the indicator color and its correlation with humidity, the user can determine the humidity level inside box 1. If an abnormality is detected, the desiccant should be replaced or the storage environment adjusted.

[0026] In this embodiment, the box body 1 is provided with an inner box 5 for holding cigars. At least two inner boxes 5 are provided, and the two inner boxes 5 are abutting between the inner wall of the box body 1 and the outer wall of the desiccant storage box 3, and the inner boxes 5 are connected to the desiccant storage box 3.

[0027] The inner box 5 creates a dedicated space inside the box 1 for storing cigars, ensuring orderly storage. The inner box 5 is connected to the desiccant storage box 3, allowing the moisture absorbed by the desiccant in the desiccant storage box 3 to act on the cigars in the inner box 5, thus maintaining a dry environment for the cigars.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner box 5 is provided with an inner cover 51 on the upper part. The inner cover 51 is hinged to the inner box 5 and is used to seal the inner box 5. The inner cover 51 is opened and closed by means of the hinge structure. It is convenient to open and close the inner cover 51, and when closed, it can seal the inner box 5, reducing the entry of moisture and affecting the cigar.

[0029] The inner box 5 has a first connecting hole 52 on the side near the desiccant storage box 3, and the outer wall of the desiccant storage box 3 has a second connecting hole 31 corresponding to the first connecting hole 52. The first connecting hole 52 and the second connecting hole 31 are aligned and interconnected. The first connecting hole 52 and the second connecting hole 31 form a gas flow channel, allowing the desiccant in the desiccant storage box 3 to effectively absorb the moisture released by the cigars in the inner box 5 through this channel, maintaining a dry environment in the inner box 5. This achieves communication between the inner box 5 and the desiccant storage box 3.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a handle groove 511 is provided on the side where the inner cover 51 is hinged to the inner box 5. The handle groove 511 is designed to provide a convenient gripping area for the fingers, allowing the user to easily lift the inner box 5 or open the inner cover 51, thus improving ease of operation. Preferably, both the inner box 5 and the inner cover 51 are made of transparent materials such as glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate (PC), making it easy to observe the condition of the cigars inside the inner box 5.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a sealing sheet 53 is provided on the inner side of the inner box 5 corresponding to the first connecting hole 52. The sealing sheet 53 is rotatably connected to the inner box 5. The opening and closing action of the sealing sheet 53 is realized by the rotatable connection. The first connecting hole 52 can be opened or closed as needed.

[0032] A return torsion spring is provided between the sealing plate 53 and the inner box 5. The return torsion spring is used to keep the sealing plate 53 sealing the first connecting hole 52. With the help of the elastic force of the return torsion spring, the first connecting hole 52 can be automatically sealed under normal conditions, preventing moisture from entering the inner box 5 at will and ensuring a dry environment for the cigars inside the inner box 5.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the inner box 5 in this embodiment is provided with a guide groove 54, which communicates with the first communicating hole 52; The outer wall of the desiccant storage box 3 is provided with a guide strip 32, which is used to slide and connect with the guide groove 54 and abut against the sealing sheet 53. The sliding engagement structure between the guide groove 54 and the guide strip 32 achieves precise guidance and positioning, making it easy for the inner box 5 to be accurately placed into the box body 1.

[0034] In use, the inner box 5 is slidably inserted into the box body 1 along the guide groove 54 and comes into contact with the inner bottom wall of the box body 1. At this point, the guide strip 32 enters the first connecting hole 52 and comes into contact with the sealing sheet 53, pushing the sealing sheet 53 open and separating it from the first connecting hole 52, thus connecting the first connecting hole 52 with the second connecting hole 31. This allows the desiccant in the desiccant storage box 3 to effectively absorb the moisture released by the cigars in the inner box 5, maintaining a dry storage environment for the cigars. When the inner box 5 is removed separately, the sealing sheet 53 separates from the guide strip 32. With the help of the elastic force of the return torsion spring, the sealing sheet 53 automatically seals the first connecting hole 52 under normal conditions, preventing moisture from entering the inner box 5 at will.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing sheet 53 is provided with a protrusion 531, which extends into the first connecting hole 52, so that the guide strip 32 can contact the sealing sheet 53, thereby enabling the guide strip 32 to push open the sealing sheet 53, so that the sealing sheet 53 is separated from the first connecting hole 52, and the first connecting hole 52 and the second connecting hole 31 are connected.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the desiccant storage box 3 in this embodiment is provided with a drying chamber 33 for placing desiccant; the desiccant is placed in the dedicated space of the drying chamber 33; the desiccant is stored in a centralized manner, which is convenient for management and to exert its moisture absorption function.

[0037] The desiccant storage box 3 is equipped with a lid 34, which covers the top of the desiccant storage box 3 and seals the drying chamber 33. The lid 34's sealing structure prevents external moisture from entering the drying chamber 33, ensuring the desiccant effectively absorbs moisture inside the box 1 and maintains a dry cigar storage environment.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the lid 34 of this embodiment is provided with a vent 35. The vent 35 creates a gas flow channel; it allows moisture inside the box 1 to enter the drying chamber 33 through the vent 35 and be absorbed by the desiccant, while also preventing the desiccant from leaking out, ensuring that the desiccant effectively plays its moisture-absorbing role to maintain the dryness of the cigar storage environment.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the indicator storage box 4 in this embodiment includes a visible cavity 41, a sealing cover 42, and a connecting tube 43; wherein, the visible cavity 41 is made of glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate (PC). The visible cavity 41 facilitates observation of the internal indicator, allowing users to intuitively see the color change of the indicator to determine the humidity.

[0040] The visible cavity 41 is used to store the indicator, and the sealing cap 42 is placed on top of the visible cavity 41. The sealing structure of the sealing cap 42 prevents external factors from interfering with the indicator and ensures that the indicator responds normally to changes in humidity.

[0041] The connecting pipe 43 is located at the bottom of the visible cavity 41 and communicates with the interior of the box 1. The connecting pipe 43 establishes a gas flow path, allowing moisture inside the box 1 to enter the visible cavity 41 through the connecting pipe 43, enabling the indicator to accurately sense and reflect the humidity level inside the box.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the box 1 in this embodiment is slidably equipped with a small tool drawer 11, which is used to store small tools. Small tools such as cigar cutters and lighters are tools used for smoking cigars. The sliding structure allows for flexible opening and closing and storage of the drawer; it facilitates the user's access to and storage of small tools such as cigar cutters and lighters, enabling centralized management of small tools, preventing loss, and improving ease of use.
