The embodiments disclosed herein are not necessarily limited to the contents of this document.
[0043] Lockers, such as wine cabinets, medicine cabinets, merchandise cabinets, or refrigerators, are configured to store different items, providing a storage environment tailored to each. Different items have varying requirements for the temperature and humidity of the locker's storage environment. For items with high humidity requirements, the humidity inside the locker must meet a preset level; otherwise, the quality of the stored items may be affected.
[0044] A locker is usually provided with a humidifying device to ensure the humidity requirement inside the locker. The humidifying device includes at least one storage compartment, and the at least one storage compartment is configured to store items.
[0045] The humidifying device also includes a water storage box, which is arranged in the storage compartment. The humid air is distributed in the storage compartment through natural evaporation of water in the water storage box or fan-assisted blowing to improve the humidity inside the storage compartment.
[0046] However, in the related art, a water storage box generally humidifies a single storage compartment and cannot humidify multiple storage compartments. If a storage cabinet includes multiple storage compartments, the humidifier includes multiple water storage boxes, each of which is corresponding to the multiple storage compartments, increasing the manufacturing cost of the humidifier.
[0047] To solve the above problems, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG1 , some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a storage cabinet 1000 with multiple storage compartments, which helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the humidification device by reducing the number of water storage boxes used.
[0048] The storage cabinet 1000 includes a cabinet body 100 , and the cabinet body 100 includes a plurality of storage compartments 1100 .
[0049] 1 , the plurality of storage compartments 1100 include a first storage compartment 110. For example, the first storage compartment 110 includes one or more storage layers; or, for another example, the first storage compartment 110 includes at least one storage compartment.
[0050] In some embodiments, the plurality of storage compartments 1100 further includes a second storage compartment 120, which is disposed below the first storage compartment 110 (as shown in FIG1 ). The structure of the second storage compartment 120 is similar to that of the first storage compartment 110 and will not be described in detail herein.
[0051] In some embodiments, the cabinet 100 further includes a first partition 140 , which is fixedly connected to the inner container of the cabinet 100 and is disposed between the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120 , and is configured to separate the first storage compartment 110 from the second storage compartment 120 .
[0052] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the locker 1000 further includes a refrigeration device 13. The refrigeration device 13 is configured to provide cold air to the storage compartment 1100 to reduce the compartment temperature of the storage compartment 1100 and maintain the interior of the storage compartment 1100 at a low temperature.
[0053] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 13 can use compressor refrigeration or semiconductor refrigeration to provide cooling to the storage compartment 1100. The cooling output of the refrigeration device 13 can be adjusted as needed. For example, the cooling output of the refrigeration device 13 can be adjusted based on the system load required by the locker 1000, as well as the ambient temperature, the internal temperature of the storage compartment 1100, and the internal humidity of the storage compartment 1100 to meet the internal temperature and internal humidity requirements of the storage compartment 1100.
[0054] In some embodiments, when the refrigeration device 13 uses a compressor for cooling, the cooling output of the refrigeration device 13 can be adjusted by adjusting at least one of the operating speed or operating frequency of the compressor. When the refrigeration device 13 uses semiconductor cooling, the cooling output of the refrigeration device 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the input voltage.
[0055] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 13 includes, for example, a compressor, a condenser, a filter (e.g., a filter drier), a throttle valve, and an evaporator. In this case, the refrigeration device 13 uses a compressor refrigeration method. The operating process of the refrigeration device 13 includes a compression process, a condensation process, a throttling process, and an evaporation process.
[0056] The compression process includes: when the locker 1000 is powered on and there is a cooling demand in the storage room, the compressor starts working, and the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant is compressed by the compressor into a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated gas phase refrigerant and then discharged into the condenser.
[0057] The condensation process includes: high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed into low-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant through the condenser.
[0058] The throttling process includes: the condensed liquid refrigerant flows into the throttle valve, and after throttling by the throttle valve, it becomes a high-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant.
[0059] The evaporation process involves the flow of high-temperature, low-pressure, gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant into the evaporator, where it evaporates and becomes a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-phase refrigerant. The gas-phase refrigerant from the evaporator circulates to the compressor.
[0060] In this way, the heat inside the storage room can be transferred to the air outside the cabinet to achieve cooling of the air inside the storage room.
[0061] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2 , the storage cabinet 1000 further includes a humidifying device 200 , which is configured to adjust the humidity of the air inside the storage compartment 1100 .
[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , the humidifying device 200 includes a first water storage box 210 , in which water is stored and configured to provide humidified air to at least one of the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120 .
[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2 , the humidifying device 200 further includes a first fan 220 (first humidifying fan), which is configured to blow air toward the first water storage box 210 to blow the humid air in the first water storage box 210 into the first storage compartment 110 .
[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the humidifying device 200 also includes a second fan 230 (second humidifying fan), which is separated from the first fan 220 and is configured to blow air toward the first water storage box 210 to blow the humid air in the first water storage box 210 into the second storage compartment 120.
[0065] At this time, the humid air can be distributed in the storage cabinet 1000 by natural evaporation of the water in the first water storage box 210 or with the assistance of a fan.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the first water storage box 210 between the adjacent first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120, and supplying air to the first water storage box 210 through the first fan 220 and the second fan 230 respectively, it is possible to simultaneously supply humid air to the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120. In this way, the humidity of multiple storage compartments 1100 can be adjusted by using one water storage box for humidification, thereby reducing the number of water storage boxes and helping to reduce the manufacturing cost of the humidification device.
[0067] In some embodiments, the first storage compartment 110 may further include at least one jet hole (e.g., a through hole), which is disposed on the inner wall of the first storage compartment 110. When the humidifying device 200 is in operation, the water in the first water storage box 210 is ejected from the jet hole to form a fine spray-like mist, thereby humidifying the first storage compartment 110.
[0068] In some embodiments, the second storage compartment 120 may further include at least one air jet hole disposed on an inner wall of the second storage compartment 120 to humidify the second storage compartment 120 .
[0069] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the first water storage box 210 includes a first body 211 (first water storage box body), the first body 211 includes a bottom wall, and the bottom wall of the first body 211 is disposed on one side (such as the upper side) of the first partition 140 close to the first storage compartment 110 .
[0070] The first body 211 further includes side walls, a bottom wall connected to the side walls, and the bottom wall and the side walls define an opening, which is, for example, disposed toward the first storage compartment 110. For example, the first body 211 may be in the shape of a box with a closed bottom and an open top.
[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 , the first water storage box 210 further includes a first cover 212 (first water storage box cover). The first cover 212 is detachably connected to the opening of the first body 211 to close the first body 211 .
[0072] In other embodiments, the first body 211 is configured as a first partition 140 . In this case, the side of the first partition 140 close to the first storage compartment 110 is closed by a first cover 212 , and the first partition 140 is connected and fixed to the inner tank of the cabinet 100 .
[0073] 2 and 3 , the first water storage box 210 further includes a first water inlet 2122 disposed on the first cover 212. The first water inlet 2122 is, for example, a through hole. When the first water storage box 210 is short of water, the first water storage box 210 can be replenished with water through the first water inlet 2122.
[0074] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , the first water storage box 210 further includes a first water storage portion 2111 , and the first water storage portion 2111 is disposed near the first fan 220 .
[0075] 3 and 5 , the first water storage box 210 further includes a second water storage portion 2112 , which is disposed adjacent to the second blower 230 . The second water storage portion 2112 is in communication with the first water storage portion 2111 .
[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first water storage box 210 further includes at least one second partition 2121 (isolating component), which is disposed on a side surface of the first cover 212 close to the first body 211 and extends toward the corresponding water storage portion.
[0077] In the case where the at least one second partition 2121 includes one second partition 2121 , the second partition 2121 partitions the first water storage box 210 into the first water storage portion 2111 and the second water storage portion 2112 .
[0078] When the at least one second partition 2121 includes two second partitions 2121 , the first water storage box 210 further includes a third water storage part. The two second partitions 2121 divide the first water storage box 210 into a first water storage part 2111 , a second water storage part 2112 and a third water storage part.
[0079] The third water storage section includes an air outlet, and the opening can be connected to the first storage compartment 110. In this case, the third water storage section can supply humid air to the first storage compartment 110. The air outlet can also be connected to the second storage compartment 120. In this case, the third water storage section can supply humid air to the second storage compartment 120.
[0080] In some embodiments, the third water storage section further includes an air inlet, and the humidifying device 200 further includes a third fan, the air outlet of the third fan being connected to the air inlet of the third water storage section to blow the humid air in the third water storage section to at least one of the first storage compartment 110 or the second storage compartment 120.
[0081] At least one second partition 2121 has a height perpendicular to the bottom wall of the water storage box body 211 that is shorter than the height of the cavity of the water storage box body 211. This creates a gap between the second partition 2121 and the bottom wall of the water storage box body 211, allowing water in the first water storage box 210 to pass through but preventing air from passing through. In other words, the second partition 2121 and the water in the first body 211 together form an air barrier. This allows water in the first water storage box 210 to flow between the first water storage section 2111 and the second water storage section 2112, while preventing air from flowing between the first water storage section 2111 and the second water storage section 2112. This prevents air convection between the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120, and avoids temperature and humidity interference caused by air exchange when the temperature and humidity settings of the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120 are different.
[0082] It should be noted that the second partition 2121 can be integrally formed with the first cover 212 , or can be separately formed from the first cover 212 .
[0083] In some embodiments, the second partition 2121 is vertically disposed on the surface of the first cover 212 close to the first body 211. The first water storage box 210 includes one or two second partitions 2121, for example, the second partition 2121 is a baffle, which facilitates the production of the second partition 2121.
[0084] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the first water storage portion 2111 includes a first air inlet 215. The first air inlet 215 can be disposed on a sidewall of the water storage box body 211 and communicate with the air outlet of the first fan 220. For example, the first air inlet 215 can communicate with the air outlet of the first fan 220, or the first air inlet 215 can be disposed correspondingly to the air outlet of the first fan 220. Thus, the first fan 220 can blow out the humid air within the first water storage portion 2111 through the air outlet and the first air inlet 215.
[0085] The first water storage portion 2111 further includes a first air outlet 213, which can be provided on the first cover 212. The first storage compartment 110 is connected to the first water storage portion 2111 through the first air outlet 213, so that the first fan 220 can blow the humid air in the first water storage portion 2111 out to the first storage compartment 110, thereby adjusting the air humidity inside the first storage compartment 110.
[0086] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the second water storage portion 2112 includes a second air inlet 216. The second air inlet 216 can be disposed on a sidewall of the water storage box body 211 and communicate with the air outlet of the second fan 230. For example, the second air inlet 216 can communicate with the air outlet of the second fan 230, or the second air inlet 216 can be disposed correspondingly to the air outlet of the second fan 230. Thus, the second fan 230 can blow out the humid air in the second water storage portion 2112 through the air outlet and the second air inlet 216.
[0087] The second water storage portion 2112 also includes a second air outlet 214, which can be located on a sidewall of the water storage box body 211 near the first cover 212. This prevents water in the second water storage portion 2112 from flowing out of the second air outlet 214. The second water storage portion 2112 communicates with the second storage compartment 120 via the second air outlet 214, allowing the second fan 230 to blow humid air from the second water storage portion 2112 into the second storage compartment 120, thereby adjusting the humidity within the second storage compartment 120.
[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 6A, the first partition 140 includes a first partition body 1211. The first partition body 1211 includes a bottom wall and side walls. The bottom wall and side walls of the first partition body 1211 are connected. For example, the first partition body 1211 can be box-shaped with a closed bottom and an open top.
[0089] As shown in FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C , the first partition 140 further includes a first partition cover 1212 , and the first partition cover 1212 is detachably connected to the first partition body 1211 .
[0090] The first partition 140 further includes a cavity defined by the first partition cover 1212 and the first partition body 1211 .
[0091] The first water storage box 210 is disposed in a cavity defined by the first partition cover 1212 and the first partition body 1211 .
[0092] 6A and 6B , the first partition cover 1212 includes a fourth air outlet 1213, which is disposed opposite the first air outlet 213. Water in the first water storage box 210 is sequentially delivered to the first storage compartment 110 via the first air outlet 213 and the fourth air outlet 1213.
[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 11, the first water storage box 210 further includes an air guide portion 2141 (such as a channel), which is respectively connected to the second air outlet 214 and the second storage compartment 120. After the humid air in the second water storage portion 2112 flows out from the second air outlet 214, it flows into the second storage compartment 120 through the air guide portion 2141.
[0094] In some embodiments, the air guide portion 2141 includes two openings, one of which is located close to the first water storage box 210 and communicates with the second air outlet 214 ; the other opening is located away from the first water storage box 210 and communicates with the second storage compartment 120 .
[0095] In some embodiments, the first partition 140 includes a through hole, which cooperates with the opening of the air guide 2141 on one side away from the first water storage box 210, so that the humid air in the second water storage part 2112 passes through the air guide 2141 and flows into the second storage compartment 120 through the through hole.
[0096] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the first water storage box 210 further includes at least one moisture guide 300, which is disposed on the water storage box body 211. For example, the moisture guide 300 is disposed in at least one of the first water storage section 2111 and the second water storage section 2112, and water in the first water storage section 2111 and the second water storage section 2112 permeates through the moisture guide 300 to form humid air.
[0097] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 , the moisture guide portion 300 includes a moisture guide plate 217 . The moisture guide plate 217 is disposed on a side (eg, an upper side) of the bottom wall of the first water storage box 210 close to the first cover 212 .
[0098] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1, 3, and 5, the moisture guide portion 300 further includes a humidifying member 218 (e.g., a humidifying fiber), which is disposed on a side (e.g., an upper side) of the moisture guide plate 217 near the first cover 212. The humidifying member 218 absorbs moisture from the first body 211. In this way, the water in the first water storage portion 2111 and the second water storage portion 2112 can penetrate the moisture guide plate 217 into the humidifying member 218 and evaporate, thereby forming humid air.
[0099] It is understood that water permeates the humidifying element 218 and evaporates, increasing the evaporation area of the water and improving the humidification effect of the first water storage box 210 on the first storage compartment 110 and the second storage compartment 120. Furthermore, due to the ability of the humidifying element 218 to store some water, even if the first water storage box 210 is short of water, the humidifying element 218 can still maintain a moist state for a predetermined period of time to maintain the humidification performance of the first water storage box 210.
[0100] In some embodiments, the first water storage box 210 can be arranged on both sides of the first partition 140, and the moisture-conducting part 300 can be arranged in the middle of the first partition 140; the moisture-conducting part 300 can also be arranged on both sides of the first partition 140, and the first water storage box 210 can also be arranged in the middle of the first partition 140.
[0101] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the cabinet 100 further includes a third storage compartment 130, which is disposed below the second storage compartment 120 and is located near the bottom of the cabinet 100. The structure of the third storage compartment 130 is similar to that of the first storage compartment 110 and will not be described in detail herein.
[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 11, the cabinet 100 also includes a third partition 150, which is fixedly connected to the inner tank of the cabinet 100 and is arranged between the second storage compartment 120 and the third storage compartment 130. The third partition 150 is configured to separate the second storage compartment 120 and the third storage compartment 130.
[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , the humidifying device 200 further includes a second water storage box 240 . The second water storage box 240 is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet body 100 of the storage cabinet and is configured to replenish water for the first water storage box 210 .
[0104] In some embodiments, the second water storage box 240 is disposed below the third storage compartment 130 .
[0105] The second water storage box 240 includes a water outlet, which is communicated with the first water inlet 2122 to transport the water in the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210 .
[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the humidifying device 200 also includes a water injection pipe 250, the first end of the water injection pipe 250 is connected to the first water injection port 2122, and the second end of the water injection pipe 250 is connected to the water outlet of the second water storage box 240, so that the second water storage box 240 is connected to the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250.
[0107] The humidifier 200 further includes a water injection pump 260, which is disposed on the water injection pipe 250 and is configured to pump water in the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210. The water injection pump 260 operates at predetermined intervals to inject water in the second water storage box 240 into the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250.
[0108] In some embodiments, the capacity of the second water storage box 240 is greater than that of the first water storage box 210 , so that the total humidification time of the humidifying device 200 on the water storage compartment can be increased.
[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 , the second water storage box 240 may be a push-pull type water storage box, which has a simple structure and is easy for users to operate.
[0110] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10 , the second water storage box 240 includes a second body 245 (second water storage box body), the second body 245 includes a bottom wall, and the bottom wall of the second body 245 is disposed at the bottom of the cabinet 100 .
[0111] The second body 245 further includes side walls, the bottom wall and the side walls are connected, and the bottom wall and the side walls define an opening, for example, the opening is arranged toward the third storage compartment 130. For example, the second body 245 can be in the shape of a box with a closed bottom and an open top.
[0112] In some embodiments, the second water storage box 240 further includes at least one roller assembly 241, which is disposed on a sidewall of the second body 245 to facilitate relative movement of the second body 245 and the cabinet 100, thereby facilitating the removal and refilling of the second water storage box 240. For example, if the at least one roller assembly 241 includes two roller assemblies 241, the two roller assemblies 241 are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the second water storage box 240 (as shown in FIG. 10 ), thereby allowing the second water storage box 240 to be pulled in a front-to-back direction.
[0113] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10, the second water storage box 240 also includes a switch portion 242 (touch switch), which is arranged on the rear side of the second body 245 and is configured to detect the position of the second water storage box 240. When the second water storage box 240 is in a preset position (for example, a closed position), the humidifier 200 can operate normally.
[0114] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 11 , the second water storage box 240 further includes a second cover 246 (second water storage box cover), which is detachably connected to the opening of the second body 245 to seal the second body 245 .
[0115] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the second water storage box 240 further includes a third air outlet 244, which is disposed on the second cover 246. The second water storage box 240 is in communication with the third storage compartment 130 via the third air outlet 244, so that humid air in the second water storage box 240 is transported to the third storage compartment 130 via the third air outlet 244, thereby adjusting the humidity of the air inside the third storage compartment 130.
[0116] In this way, the second water storage box 240 can not only replenish water for the first water storage box 210, but also humidify the third storage compartment 130. There is no need to provide an additional water storage box in the third storage compartment 130 to humidify the air inside the third storage compartment 130, which simplifies the structure of the humidifier 200 and reduces the manufacturing cost of the humidifier 200.
[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, the humidifying device 200 also includes a first sensor 271 (first liquid level sensor), which is disposed in the first water storage box 210 and is configured to emit a first signal (such as a full water signal) when the water level of the water stored in the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to a first preset water level.
[0118] It should be noted that the first preset water level is, for example, the full water level of the first water storage box 210. For example, the water level line when the water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210 is the full water storage capacity is the full water level line. When the water storage level of the first water storage box 210 is at the first preset water level, the water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210 is the full water storage capacity.
[0119] The first sensor 271 is, for example, an electrode liquid level sensor, which detects the liquid level by measuring the liquid's electrical conductivity. The electrode liquid level sensor includes electrodes. For example, when the electrodes of the electromechanical liquid level sensor are immersed in liquid, the liquid's electrical conductivity is inversely proportional to the solute concentration in the liquid. Therefore, the liquid level in the first water storage cartridge 210 can be detected by measuring the voltage difference between the electrodes or by measuring the change in resistance experienced by the electrodes when immersed in the liquid.
[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , the first sensor 271 includes a first sensor body 2713 . The first sensor body 2713 is disposed on a side of the first cover 212 close to the bottom wall of the first water storage box 210 .
[0121] For example, the first sensor body 2713 includes an electromechanical conversion circuit configured to convert a voltage signal measured by the first sensor 271 into a digital signal or an analog signal.
[0122] The first sensor 271 further includes a first electrode 2711 . One end (eg, the lower end) of the first electrode 2711 away from the first sensor body 2713 is flush with the first preset water level of the first water storage box 210 .
[0123] The first sensor 271 further includes a second electrode 2712 , which is spaced apart from the first electrode 2711 . An end (eg, a lower end) of the second electrode 2712 away from the first sensor body 2713 is flush with the first preset water level of the first water storage box 210 .
[0124] It should be noted that the first electrode 2711 is one of a metal material and a non-metal material, and the second electrode 2712 is the other of the metal material and the non-metal material. For example, the metal material is stainless steel or titanium, and the non-metal material is polytetrafluoroethylene or polystyrene.
[0125] In some embodiments, when the water level in the first water storage box 210 rises to a first preset water level, the first electrode 2711 and the second electrode 2712 are conductive, so that the first sensor 271 sends a first signal.
[0126] In other embodiments, the first sensor 271 is a sensor based on the liquid level pressure detection principle. Thus, when the water level in the first water storage box 210 rises to the position of the first sensor 271, the first sensor 271 detects the change in liquid pressure and sends a first signal.
[0127] In some other embodiments, the first sensor 271 is a sensor based on the principle of obstacle blocking. In this way, when the water level in the first water storage box 210 rises to the position of the first sensor 271, the first sensor 271 detects the blocking object and sends a first signal.
[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9, the humidifying device 200 also includes a second sensor 272 (second liquid level sensor), which is arranged in the second water storage box 240 and is configured to send a second signal (such as a water shortage signal) when the water level of the water stored in the second water storage box 240 is lower than a second preset water level.
[0129] It should be noted that the second preset water level is the water shortage level line of the second water storage box 240. For example, the second preset water level may be located at one-eighth of the full water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240. When the water level of the second water storage box 240 is at the second preset water level, the water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240 is at its water shortage capacity.
[0130] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 10 and 12, the second water storage box 240 also includes a accommodating chamber 2723, which is arranged on the rear side of the second water storage box 240 and is connected to the second water storage box 240. The water level of the water stored in the accommodating chamber 2723 is the same as the water level of the water stored in the second water storage box 240.
[0131] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 2723 is a part of the second water storage box 240 .
[0132] In some embodiments, the second sensor 272 is, for example, a magnetic float liquid level sensor. For example, as shown in FIG12 , the second sensor 272 includes a magnetic float 2721 disposed in a receiving chamber 2723 and floating on the water surface within the receiving chamber 2723. The position of the magnetic float 2721 changes with changes in the water level within the receiving chamber 2723. Specifically, the position of the magnetic float 2721 changes with changes in the water level within the second water storage box 240.
[0133] In some embodiments, the magnetic float 2721 includes a magnet. When the water level in the second water storage box 240 changes, the magnet generates a magnetic field change, which is received and generated by a magnetoresistive sensor or a Hall element to measure the water level in the second water storage box 240.
[0134] The second sensor 272 further includes a sensor 2722 , which is disposed on the top of the box body corresponding to the accommodating cavity 2723 and is configured to receive and generate a signal of the magnetic field change of the magnetic float 2721 to detect the water level in the second water storage box 240 .
[0135] In some embodiments, the sensor 2722 is, for example, a magnetoresistive sensor or a Hall element. It should be noted that the signal generated by the magnetoresistive sensor or the Hall element is linearly related to the liquid level, so that the liquid level in the receiving chamber 2723 can be reflected by the corresponding signal.
[0136] In some embodiments, when the water level in the second water storage box 240 drops, causing the distance between the magnetic float 2721 and the sensor 2722 to be greater than a preset distance, it is considered that the current water level in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, the sensor 2722 outputs a second signal to fill the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0137] It should be noted that, in order to improve the flexibility of water filling, the second water storage box 240 can be filled with water by manual addition of water or by an external water source.
[0138] In some embodiments, the amount of water injected into the second water storage box 240 is less than or equal to three-quarters of the water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240. In this way, overflow due to excessive water storage in the second water storage box 240 can be prevented, thereby improving the reliability of the multiple storage compartments 1100.
[0139] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG13 , the second water storage box 240 further includes a second water inlet 243, which is disposed on the second cover 246. For example, the second water inlet 243 is a through hole, and when the second water storage box 240 is short of water, the second water storage box 240 can be replenished with water through the second water inlet 243.
[0140] Humidifier 200 also includes an external water pipe 280. A first end of external water pipe 280 is connected to second water inlet 243, and a second end of external water pipe 280 is connected to an external water source. Second water storage box 240 is connected to the external water source via external water pipe 280. For example, the external water source can be a reservoir, a pool, or the like.
[0141] In some embodiments, the humidifier 200 further includes a water valve 290, which is disposed on the external water pipe 280 and is configured to control the opening and closing of the external water pipe 280, thereby controlling the filling of the second water storage box 240 with water. The water valve 290 is opened or closed under the control of the controller 15. When the water valve 290 is open, water from the external water source can be injected into the second water storage box 240 through the external water pipe 280.
[0142] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 14, the storage cabinet 1000 also includes a controller 15, which is coupled to the refrigeration device 13 and the humidification device 200 respectively to realize information collection, calculation and analysis, and output of control instructions, thereby controlling the operating parameters of the refrigeration device 13, the start-up or shutdown of the humidification device 200 and other working states.
[0143] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 15 , the controller 15 is configured to perform S10 to S17 .
[0144] S10. Control the locker 1000 to power on.
[0145] S11, control the water injection pump 260 to start.
[0146] The controller 15 controls the water injection pump 260 to start, so as to pump the water in the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250 .
[0147] S12: Determine whether the first signal is received. If so, execute S13; if not, continue to execute S11.
[0148] If the controller 15 does not receive the first signal, it indicates that the water level of the first water storage box 210 is lower than the first preset water level, that is, the water in the first water storage box 210 is not full. At this time, the water in the second water storage box 240 continues to be pumped to the first water storage box 210.
[0149] S13, controlling the water injection pump 260 to be closed.
[0150] When the controller 15 receives the first signal from the first sensor 271, it indicates that the water level in the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to the first preset water level, that is, the first water storage box 210 is full of water. At this time, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to turn off and stop filling the first water storage box 210 with water.
[0151] S14: Determine whether the first time duration t1 has elapsed. If so, execute S15; if not, continue to execute S13.
[0152] Here, the first time duration t1 represents the water consumption time duration of the first water storage box 210. For example, when the humidifier 200 is in continuous operation, the first time duration t1 is the time required for the water level in the first water storage box 210 to be lower than the preset water level.
[0153] In some embodiments, the first duration t1 can be obtained according to the first target water storage volume V1 and the water consumption rate.
[0154] The first target water storage capacity V1 may be the water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210 when the water level in the first water storage box 210 is at the first preset water level. Alternatively, the first target water storage capacity V1 may be a water storage capacity less than the full water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210.
[0155] S15, controlling the water injection pump 260 to start again.
[0156] In some embodiments, controller 15 includes a timing component.
[0157] When the water filling action of the second water storage box 240 is completed and the water filling into the first water storage box 210 is stopped, at this time, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to turn off, and the controller 15 controls the timing component to start timing. After the first time t1, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to turn on again. In this way, the controller 15 controls the second water storage box 240 to perform the water filling action again to replenish water for the first water storage box 210.
[0158] S16: Determine whether the second signal is received. If so, execute S17; if not, continue to execute S15.
[0159] If the controller 15 does not receive the second signal sent by the second sensor 272, it indicates that the water level of the second water storage box 240 is greater than or equal to the second preset water level. At this time, the water amount in the second water storage box 240 meets the demand, and the step of filling water into the first water storage box 210 is continued.
[0160] S17: Fill the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0161] As the amount of water replenished by the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210 increases, the water in the second water storage box 240 is consumed. When the controller 15 receives the second signal sent by the second sensor 272, it indicates that the water level of the water stored in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, it is determined that the second water storage box 240 is short of water and water needs to be added to the second water storage box 240.
[0162] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is provided, which is applied to the controller 15. The control method includes: controlling the locker 1000 to power on; controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn on; if it is determined that a first signal has been received, controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn off; if a first time period has passed, controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn on again; and if it is determined that a second signal has been received, injecting water into the second water storage box 240.
[0163] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16 , S17 may further include S18 .
[0164] S18, control the water valve 290 to open.
[0165] When receiving the instruction to fill water into the second water storage box 240 , the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to open, so as to transport water from the external water source to the second water storage box 240 through the external water pipe 280 .
[0166] In some embodiments, the humidifying device 200 further includes a flow detection device, which is disposed on the external water pipe 280 and configured to detect a current water injection flow of the external water pipe 280 .
[0167] It should be noted that the external water source may be affected by regional water pressure differences, resulting in unstable water flow rate in the external water pipe 280. Therefore, a flow detection device is set to detect the current water injection flow rate, so that the amount of water injected into the second water storage box 240 can be more accurate.
[0168] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 , after the controller 15 executes S18 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to open, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S190 and S200 .
[0169] S190: Determine whether the current water storage volume V of the second water storage box 240 is greater than or equal to the second target water storage volume V2. If so, execute S200; if not, continue to execute S18.
[0170] The controller 15 determines whether the current water storage volume V of the second water storage box 240 is greater than or equal to the second target water storage volume V2 according to the current water injection flow rate and the accumulated opening time of the water valve 290.
[0171] If it is determined that the current water storage capacity V of the second water storage box 240 is less than the second target water storage capacity V2, water is continuously replenished in the second water storage box 240. For example, the second target water storage capacity V2 may be the full water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240, or a water storage capacity that is less than the full water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240 and greater than the water shortage storage capacity.
[0172] S200, control the water valve 290 to close.
[0173] When it is determined that the current water storage volume V of the second water storage box 240 is less than the second target water storage volume V2, the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to close to stop filling water into the second water storage box 240 .
[0174] In some embodiments, the amount of water currently injected into the second water storage box 240 can be calculated based on the current water injection flow of the second water storage box 240 and the cumulative opening time of the water valve 290, and then the water injection can be stopped when the current water storage capacity of the second water storage box 240 is greater than or equal to the second target water storage capacity V2.
[0175] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 17 , after executing S200 , the controller 15 continues to execute S11 .
[0176] After the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to replenish water into the second water storage box 240 , the controller 15 controls the second water storage box 240 to continue filling water into the first water storage box 210 to ensure stable operation of the humidifying device 200 .
[0177] In some embodiments, the locker 1000 further includes an alarm device, which is coupled to the controller 15 and configured to receive a fault signal and execute a preset fault alarm action.
[0178] As shown in FIG. 18 , after the controller 15 executes S200 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to be closed, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S210 .
[0179] S210: If the second signal is received, control the alarm device to execute a preset fault alarm action.
[0180] In some embodiments, after the water replenishment to the second water storage box 240 is completed, that is, after the water replenishment to the second water storage box 240 is stopped, if the second signal sent by the second sensor 271 is still received within a predetermined time period, it indicates that the water injection process has failed. At this time, the controller 15 controls the alarm device to execute a preset fault alarm action to remind the user to inspect and repair the humidifier 200.
[0181] In some embodiments, the alarm device may be a display screen, in which case the controller 15 may control the alarm device to display a preset text message to implement a fault alarm. The alarm device may also be a voice module, in which case the controller 15 may control the alarm device to play a preset voice message to implement a fault alarm. The alarm device may also be an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light assembly, in which case the controller 15 may control the alarm device to implement a fault alarm according to a set display frequency or display color. The alarm device may also be a buzzer, in which case the controller 15 may control the alarm device to implement a fault alarm by emitting a whistle with a set frequency or set volume.
[0182] In some embodiments, the alarm device may also be a combination of any two or more of the above forms.
[0183] In other embodiments, the locker 1000 further includes a reminder device, which is coupled to the controller 15 and configured to execute a preset reminder action. As shown in FIG19 , S16 may further include S161 and S162.
[0184] S161: Determine whether the second signal is received. If so, execute S162; if not, continue to execute S15.
[0185] S162: Control the reminder device to execute a preset reminder action.
[0186] For example, the reminder action may remind the user to refill the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0187] In some embodiments, the second water storage box 240 can be replenished with water by manual water addition. At this time, when it is determined that the second water storage box 240 is short of water, the controller 15 controls the reminder device to start running and executes the corresponding reminder action. After receiving the reminder information, the second water storage box 240 can be manually filled with water through the second water filling port 243.
[0188] In some embodiments, the reminder device may be a display screen. In this case, the controller 15 may control the reminder device to display a preset alarm action to implement a fault alarm. The reminder device may also be a voice module. In this case, the controller 15 may control the reminder device to play a preset voice message to implement a fault alarm. The reminder device may also be an LED light assembly. In this case, the controller 15 may control the reminder device to implement a fault alarm according to a preset display frequency or color. The reminder device may also be a buzzer. In this case, the controller 15 may control the reminder device to implement a fault alarm by emitting a whistle at a preset frequency or volume.
[0189] In some embodiments, the reminder device may also be a combination of any two or more of the above forms.
[0190] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 20 , the controller 15 is further configured to execute S20 to S25 .
[0191] S20 . Control the locker 1000 to power on.
[0192] S21, control the water injection pump 260 to start.
[0193] The controller 15 controls the water injection pump 260 to start, so as to pump the water in the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250 .
[0194] S22: Determine whether the first signal is received within the second time period t2 after the water injection pump 260 is turned on. If so, execute S23; if not, continue to execute S21.
[0195] Here, the second time duration t2 represents the filling time duration of the first water storage box 210 , that is, when the first water storage box 210 is short of water, the time duration for replenishing the first water storage box 210 with water until its full water storage volume is greater than or equal to the first target water storage volume V1 .
[0196] It should be noted that by injecting the static water in the second water storage box 240 into the first water storage box 210, the water flow rate is stable and the injection flow rate is stable. Therefore, the second time duration t2 can be calculated according to the preset water injection speed.
[0197] In some embodiments, the second time duration t2 can be calculated using formula (1) based on the first target water storage capacity V1 of the first water storage box 210, the preset water shortage water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210, and the preset water filling speed.
[0198] Here, t2 is the second duration; V min is the preset water shortage storage capacity of the first water storage box 210; u is the preset water filling speed; k is the preset safety factor.
[0199] In some embodiments, the water shortage capacity V of the first water storage box 210 is min is preset, and V min Satisfaction: V min ≥0.
[0200] In some embodiments, k satisfies: 0<k<(V max –V1) / u,V max It is the preset full water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210.
[0201] In some embodiments, the time t2 for filling the first water storage box 210 with water is the working time of the water filling pump 260. The preset water filling speed u is the pumping speed of the water filling pump 260. At this time, the setting of the k value can reduce the error of the water filling pump.
[0202] S23, control the water injection pump 260 to be closed.
[0203] After the second water storage box 240 completes the process of filling the first water storage box 210, the controller 15 controls the timing component to start timing. If it determines that it receives the first signal from the first sensor 271 within the second time period t2, it indicates that the water filling process is normal and the water storage in the second water storage box 240 is sufficient. Moreover, during the second time period t2, the water level in the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to the first preset water level, that is, the first water storage box 210 is full. At this time, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to shut down, stopping the filling of water into the first water storage box 210.
[0204] S24: Determine whether the third time duration t3 has passed. If so, execute S25; if not, continue to execute S23.
[0205] The third time duration t3 represents the water consumption time duration of the first water storage box 210 , that is, the third time duration t3 is the time required for the water storage in the first water storage box 210 to be consumed when the humidifying device 200 is continuously running.
[0206] In some embodiments, the third time duration t3 can be calculated according to the first target water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210, the preset water shortage water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210 and the water consumption rate according to formula (2).
[0207] t3 is the third time duration, V1 is the first target water storage capacity of the first water storage box 210, V min is the preset water shortage storage capacity of the first water storage box 210, and v is the water consumption rate.
[0208] In some embodiments, the third time period t3 is the time interval between the second water storage box 240 filling the first water storage box 210 with water.
[0209] S25, control the water injection pump 260 to start again.
[0210] After the controller 15 controls the second water storage box 240 to stop filling water into the first water storage box 210, the controller 15 controls the timing component to start timing. After the third time period, it is considered that the water storage amount in the first water storage box 210 is insufficient. At this time, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to start again to replenish water for the first water storage box 210.
[0211] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 , after the controller 15 executes S25 , that is, after the controller controls the water injection pump 260 to turn on again, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S26 to S27 .
[0212] S26: Determine whether the second signal is received. If so, execute S27; if not, continue to execute S25.
[0213] If the controller 15 does not receive the second signal sent by the second sensor 272, it indicates that the water level in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, the water volume in the second water storage box 240 meets the demand, and the step of filling the first water storage box 210 with water is continued.
[0214] S27: Fill the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0215] As the amount of water replenished by the second water storage box 240 to the first water storage box 210 increases, the water in the second water storage box 240 is consumed. When the controller 15 receives the second signal sent by the second sensor 272, it indicates that the water level of the water stored in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, it is determined that the second water storage box 240 is short of water. The controller 15 sends a second signal and fills the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0216] In some embodiments, the second water storage box 240 may be filled with water by at least one of manually adding water or filling water through an external water source.
[0217] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is also provided, applied to the controller 15. The control method includes: controlling the locker 1000 to power on; controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn on; if it is determined that a first signal is received within a second time period t2 after the water injection pump 260 is turned on, controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn off; if it is determined that a third time period t3 has elapsed, controlling the water injection pump 260 to turn on again. If a second signal is received, water is injected into the second water storage box 240.
[0218] In some embodiments, S27 may also be executed as S18.
[0219] In some embodiments, after the controller 15 executes S18 , the controller 15 is further configured to execute S190 and S200 .
[0220] In some embodiments, after the controller 15 executes S200 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to close, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S210 .
[0221] In some other embodiments, S26 may also include S161 and S162.
[0222] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the position of the first sensor 271, the working time of the water injection pump 260 (the second time t2) and the water injection time interval (the third time t3), the current water storage volume V in the first water storage box 210 can be maintained at V min<V<V1. This prevents overflowing of the first water storage box 210 and prevents air circulation within the first water storage box 210, which could interfere with the temperature and humidity of different water storage compartments. Furthermore, because the water injection pump 260 is activated at predetermined third intervals t3 and pumps water from the second water storage box 240 into the first water storage box 210, if the second water storage box 240 has sufficient water, and the first sensor 271 does not detect the first signal within the second interval t2, the water injection pump 260 determines that the second water storage box 240 is short of water. Consequently, the water valve 290 is controlled to open and inject water into the second water storage box 240, enabling a single liquid level sensor to simultaneously detect the water levels of both the first and second water storage boxes 210 and 240.
[0223] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a liquid level sensor (first sensor 271) is provided on the first water storage box 210 to monitor the water filling process of the first water storage box 210 and the second water storage box 240. The controller 15 executes different steps based on the signals received during the water filling process to achieve a stable supply of humidified air to the multiple storage compartments 1100. Compared to using multiple liquid level sensors to monitor the water shortage and water filling status of the first water storage box 210 and the second water storage box 240, the number of liquid level sensors used is reduced, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the humidifier device 200.
[0224] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 22 , the controller 15 is further configured to execute S30 to S36 .
[0225] S30 . Control the locker 1000 to power on.
[0226] S31, control the water injection pump 260 to start.
[0227] The controller 15 controls the water injection pump 260 to start, and the second water storage box 240 injects water into the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250 .
[0228] S32: Determine whether the second time duration t2 has elapsed. If so, execute S33; if not, continue to execute S31.
[0229] The second time length t2 represents the time length required for the water storage amount in the first water storage box 210 to be greater than or equal to the first target water storage amount V1, and the second time length t2 can be calculated according to the above formula (1).
[0230] S33, control the water injection pump 260 to be closed.
[0231] During the process of controlling the second water storage box 240 to fill the first water storage box 210 with water, the controller 15 controls the timing component to count the time. If the filling time is greater than or equal to the second time period t2, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to shut down, thereby stopping the filling of water into the first water storage box 210. The humidifier 200 then continues to operate, consuming the water stored in the first water storage box 210 to provide humidified air to the storage compartment 1100.
[0232] S34. After the fourth time period t4, the water consumption N of the first water storage box 210 is calculated.
[0233] The fourth time duration t4 represents the time duration after the water injection pump 260 is turned off.
[0234] The controller 15 calculates the water consumption of the first water storage box 210 when the fourth time period t4 has passed after the water injection pump 260 is turned off, based on the fourth time period t4 and the water consumption rate of the first water storage box 210 .
[0235] S35. Determine whether N is greater than or equal to ΔN. If so, execute S36; if not, continue to execute S34.
[0236] ΔN is the single water filling volume of the first water storage box 210. In some embodiments, ΔN is the first target water storage volume V1 and the water shortage water storage volume V min The difference, that is, △N=V1-V min .
[0237] S36, control the water injection pump 260 to start again.
[0238] In the case where the water consumption N of the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to ΔN, that is, the water consumption N of the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to the first target water storage capacity V1 and the water shortage water storage capacity V min In the case of the difference, it indicates that the water level in the first water storage box 210 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, the controller 15 re-controls the second water storage box 240 to perform the water injection action to replenish water for the first water storage box 210.
[0239] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 23 , after executing S36 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water injection valve 260 to be opened again, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S37 to S38 .
[0240] S37. Determine whether C is greater than or equal to m. If so, execute S38; if not, continue to execute S36.
[0241] C is the cumulative number of times the second water storage box 240 performs water filling operations on the first water storage box 210. m is a preset number threshold.
[0242] In some embodiments, the preset number threshold m can be calculated based on the second target water storage capacity V2 of the second water storage box 240 and the single water injection volume ΔN. For example, the ratio V2 / ΔN of the second target water storage capacity V2 of the second water storage box 240 and the single water injection volume is calculated and rounded up to obtain the preset number threshold m.
[0243] S38. Pour water into the second water storage box 240.
[0244] When the cumulative number of times the second water storage box 240 fills the first water storage box 210 is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the controller 15 determines that the second water storage box 240 is short of water. At this time, water needs to be filled into the second water storage box 240.
[0245] In some embodiments, the number of times the second water storage box 240 performs water injection is accumulated. As the amount of water added to the first water storage box 210 increases, the water level in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. When the accumulated number of water injections C satisfies C≥m, it indicates that the water level in the second water storage box 240 is lower than the second preset water level. At this time, it is determined that the second water storage box 240 is short of water.
[0246] In this way, the second water storage box 240 can be replenished with water in time to ensure the reliability of the humidifying device 200.
[0247] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is also provided, which is applied to the controller 15. The control method includes: controlling the locker 1000 to be powered on; controlling the water injection pump 260 to be turned on; if the second time period t2 has elapsed, controlling the water injection pump 260 to be turned off; after the fourth time period t4 has elapsed, calculating the water consumption N of the first water storage box 210; if N is greater than or equal to ΔN, controlling the water injection valve 260 to be turned on again; and if C is greater than or equal to m, then injecting water into the second water storage box 240.
[0248] In some embodiments, S38 may include S18.
[0249] In some embodiments, after the controller 15 executes S18 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to open, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S190 and S200 .
[0250] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 24 , S34 may further include S340 to S344 .
[0251] S340, determine the fifth time duration t5 and the first water consumption rate v on .
[0252] The fifth time period t5 represents the startup operation time period of at least one of the first blower 220 or the second blower 230 during the time period that has passed after the water injection pump 260 is turned off.
[0253] First water consumption rate v on It is the water consumption rate of the first water storage box 210 when at least one of the first fan 220 or the second fan 230 is started and operated.
[0254] S341, according to the fifth time length t5 and the first water consumption rate v on , calculate the first water consumption N1.
[0255] In some embodiments, the first water consumption N1 satisfies: N1 = v on ×t5.
[0256] S342, determine the sixth time duration t6 and the second water consumption rate v off .
[0257] Here, the sixth time duration t6 represents the duration of time during which at least one of the first fan 220 or the second fan 230 is stopped after the water injection pump 260 is turned off. It is understood that the sixth time duration t6 is the difference between the total time duration after the water injection pump 260 is turned off and the fifth time duration t5.
[0258] Second water consumption rate v off It is the water consumption rate of the first water storage box 210 when at least one of the first fan 220 or the second fan 230 stops operating.
[0259] S343, according to the sixth time length t6 and the second water consumption speed v off , calculate the second water consumption N2.
[0260] In some embodiments, the second water consumption N2 satisfies: N2 = v off ×t6.
[0261] S344: Calculate the water consumption L of the first water storage box 210.
[0262] In some embodiments, the water consumption L of the first water storage box 210 is the sum of the first water consumption N1 and the second water consumption N2, and L satisfies: L=N1+N2.
[0263] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is further provided, which is applied to the controller 15. The control method includes: calculating or testing the water consumption rate of the first water storage box 210 when the first fan 220 starts running, as the first water consumption rate v on Calculate the water consumption rate of the first water storage box 210 when the first fan 220 stops running as the second water consumption rate v offAfter the water is injected into the first water storage box 210, the fifth duration t5 of the first fan 220 is obtained, and the sixth duration t6 of the first fan 220 can be calculated by subtracting the fifth duration t5 from the total time after the water injection is stopped. on , calculate the first water consumption N1 = v on × t5, according to the sixth time period t6 and the second water consumption rate v off , calculate the second water consumption N2 = v off × t6, the water consumption of the first water storage box 210 during the humidification process is calculated as L = N1 + N2. Furthermore, when the water consumption L satisfies L ≥ N1, it indicates that the water level in the first water storage box 210 has fallen below the second preset water level, and the second water storage box 240 is controlled to perform the water filling operation.
[0264] In this way, the water shortage state and the water full state of the first water storage box 210 can be monitored, ensuring the reliable operation of the humidifying device 200.
[0265] In some embodiments, the locker 1000 further includes a third sensor (first temperature sensor), which is disposed on the outside of the locker body 100 and configured to detect the ambient temperature T of the locker 1000 .
[0266] In some embodiments, the locker 1000 further includes a fourth sensor (first humidity sensor), which is disposed on the outside of the cabinet 100 and configured to detect the humidity D of the environment in which the locker 1000 is located.
[0267] In some embodiments, the controller 15 is coupled to the third sensor and the fourth sensor respectively, so that the controller 15 can obtain the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D of the area where the locker 1000 is located through the third sensor and the fourth sensor respectively.
[0268] In some embodiments, the controller 15 may also obtain the ambient temperature T and ambient humidity D of the area where the locker 1000 is located from the cloud through a network interface.
[0269] When the first fan 220 stops running, the second water consumption rate v of the first water storage box 210 is off It is related to the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D of the area where the locker 1000 is located. Therefore, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 25 , S343 may further include S3431 to S3434 .
[0270] S3431. Detect the current ambient temperature T and ambient humidity D.
[0271] The controller 15 obtains the ambient temperature T of the locker 1000 through the third sensor, and obtains the ambient humidity D of the locker 1000 through the fourth sensor.
[0272] S3432: Divide the sixth time period t6 into at least one evaporation time period according to the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D.
[0273] In some embodiments, the controller 15 may divide the sixth time period t6 into at least one evaporation time period according to changes in the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D.
[0274] The values of the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D in each of the at least one evaporation time periods are within corresponding preset intervals. For example, the temperature range (T1, T2) can be divided into one preset interval, and the temperature range (T2, T3) can be divided into another preset interval. During the sixth time period t6, the time corresponding to the ambient temperature T continuously remaining within the temperature range (T1, T2) is determined as one evaporation time period, and the time corresponding to the ambient temperature continuously remaining within the temperature range (T2, T3) is determined as another evaporation time period. In this way, at least one evaporation time period can be obtained.
[0275] It is understandable that if the corresponding interval of the current ambient temperature T or ambient humidity D changes, a new evaporation time period will be constructed.
[0276] S3433: Determine the water evaporation rate of the first water storage box 210 in each evaporation time period according to the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D in each evaporation time period within at least one evaporation time period.
[0277] Second water consumption rate v off It is composed of the water evaporation rate in each evaporation time period.
[0278] In some embodiments, the effect of the ambient temperature T on the water evaporation rate of the first water storage box 210 is simplified into mutually independent linear functions, such as formula (3). T =T×M; Formula (3)
[0279] v T is the water evaporation rate under the influence of ambient temperature T; M is the preset influence coefficient corresponding to the ambient temperature T, and M is a constant.
[0280] In some embodiments, the effect of the ambient humidity D on the water evaporation rate of the first water storage box 210 is simplified into mutually independent linear functions, such as formula (4). D =D×N; Formula (4)
[0281] vD is the water evaporation rate under the influence of ambient humidity D; N is the preset influence coefficient corresponding to the ambient humidity D, and N is a constant.
[0282] In this way, the water evaporation rate of the first water storage box 210 in each evaporation time period can be determined according to the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D in each evaporation time period.
[0283] S3434. Calculate the second water consumption N2 based on the duration of each evaporation time period and the water evaporation rate.
[0284] In some embodiments, the second water consumption N2 can be calculated according to the duration of each evaporation time period and the water evaporation rate using formula (5).
[0285] Q is the number of divided evaporation time periods, t 6,i is the duration of the i-th evaporation time period.
[0286] It should be noted that
[0287] For example, assuming that the current ambient temperature is T1 and the ambient humidity is D1, the fifth duration in the evaporation time period x1 is t 5,1 , the sixth duration is t 6,1 , then the water consumption L1 of the first water storage box 210 during the evaporation time period x1 is: L1 = v on ×t 5,1 +(v T,1 +v D,1 )×t 6,1 .
[0288] For another example, suppose that in the next evaporation time period x2 when the ambient temperature changes to T2 and the ambient humidity changes to D2, the fifth time period is t 5,2 , the sixth duration is t off,2 , then the water consumption L2 of the first water storage box 210 during the evaporation time period x2 is: L2 = v on ×t 5,2 +v T,2 +v D,2 ×t 6,2 .
[0289] By analogy, the water consumption corresponding to P evaporation time periods is calculated. After the water filling is completed, the water consumption of the first water storage box 210 is: L = L1 + L2 + ... + LP = {v on ×t 5,1 +v T,1 +v D,1 ×t 6,1}+{v on ×t 5,2+(v T,2 +v D,2 ×t 6,2}+…+{v on ×t 5,P +v T,P +v D,P ×t 6,P}.
[0290] It should be noted that during the startup and operation of at least one of the first fan 220 or the second fan 230, the water consumption of the first water storage box 210 is greatly affected by at least one of the first fan 220 or the second fan 230. At this time, the influence of the ambient temperature T and the ambient humidity D on the water consumption is small and can be ignored.
[0291] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is also provided, which is applied to the controller 15, and the control method includes: detecting the current ambient temperature T and ambient humidity D; dividing the sixth time length t6 into at least one evaporation time period according to the ambient temperature T and ambient humidity D; determining the water evaporation rate of the first water storage box 210 in each evaporation time period according to the ambient temperature T and ambient humidity D of each evaporation time period within the at least one evaporation time period; and calculating the second water consumption N2 according to the duration of each evaporation time period and the water evaporation rate.
[0292] 26 , the storage cabinet 1000 further includes a fifth sensor 310 (second humidity sensor), which is disposed at the fourth air outlet 1213 of the first partition 140 and configured to detect the compartment humidity Y of the first storage compartment 110 . The controller 15 is coupled to the fifth sensor 310 .
[0293] In some embodiments, the locker 1000 may further include a sixth sensor (third humidity sensor), which is disposed at the air outlet of the second partition 150 and configured to detect the humidity of the second storage compartment 120 .
[0294] The controller 15 controls the compartment humidity of the first storage compartment 110 or the second storage compartment 120 by acquiring the compartment humidity measured by at least one of the fifth sensor 310 or the sixth sensor.
[0295] In some embodiments, taking the controller 15 controlling the compartment humidity Y of the first storage compartment 110 as an example, as shown in FIG. 27 , the controller 15 is further configured to execute S40 to S47 .
[0296] S40 . Power on the locker 1000 .
[0297] S41, control the water injection pump 260 to start.
[0298] The controller 15 controls the water injection pump 260 to start, and the second water storage box 240 injects water into the first water storage box 210 through the water injection pipe 250 .
[0299] S42: Determine whether the second time duration t2 has elapsed. If so, execute S43; if not, continue to execute S41.
[0300] The second time duration t2 represents the time duration required for the water storage volume in the first water storage box 210 to be greater than or equal to the first target water storage volume V1. The second time duration t2 can be calculated according to formula (1).
[0301] S43, controlling the water injection pump 260 to be turned off.
[0302] During the process of controlling the second water storage box 240 to fill the first water storage box 210 with water, the controller 15 controls the timing component to count the time. If the water filling duration is greater than or equal to the second time duration t2, the controller 15 controls the water filling pump 260 to shut down, that is, the second water storage box 240 stops filling the first water storage box 210. Thereafter, the humidifier 200 operates normally, consuming the water in the first water storage box 210 to provide humidified air to the storage compartment 1100.
[0303] S44, determine whether the compartment humidity Y is less than the first humidity threshold Y1, if so, execute S45, if not, continue to execute S43.
[0304] The compartment humidity Y is detected by the fifth sensor 310. The controller 15 obtains the compartment humidity Y and compares it with the first humidity threshold Y1. When the compartment humidity Y is less than the first humidity threshold Y1, it indicates that the compartment humidity of the first storage compartment 110 is low and the first storage compartment 110 needs to be humidified.
[0305] S45: Control the first fan 220 to operate.
[0306] When it is determined that the compartment humidity Y is less than the first humidity threshold Y1, the controller 15 controls the first fan 220 to operate to transport the humid air in the first water storage box 210 to the first storage compartment 110 through the first air outlet 213 to increase the compartment humidity of the first storage compartment 110.
[0307] S46, determine whether the seventh time length t7 is greater than or equal to the first preset time length t set If yes, execute S47, if no, continue to execute S45.
[0308] The seventh time duration t7 is the operation time duration of the first wind turbine 220 .
[0309] In some embodiments, the first preset time length t setIt can be calculated using formula (6) according to the humidification speed of the first fan 220, the first humidity threshold Y1 and the second humidity threshold Y2.
[0310] t7 is the seventh time duration, Y2 is the second humidity threshold, Y1 is the first humidity threshold, and Y2>Y1, and Z is the humidification speed of the first fan 220. The second humidity threshold Y2 is the target humidity threshold of the first storage compartment 210.
[0311] In some embodiments, the locker 1000 further includes a seventh sensor (second temperature sensor), which is disposed in the first storage compartment 110 and configured to detect a compartment temperature R of the first storage compartment.
[0312] In some embodiments, the humidification speed Z of the first fan 220 can be calculated by using formula (7) based on the compartment humidity Y detected by the fifth sensor 310 and the compartment temperature R detected by the seventh sensor when the first fan 220 starts running. Z=aY+bR+n; Formula (7)
[0313] Y is the compartment humidity, R is the compartment temperature; a is the preset humidity coefficient; b is the preset temperature coefficient, and n is a preset constant.
[0314] According to the difference between the second humidity threshold value Y2 and the first humidity threshold value Y1, the first preset time length t can be calculated in combination with the humidification speed Z of the first fan 220. set .
[0315] This helps to improve the accuracy of calculating the required operating time of the first fan 220, so as to ensure that the humidity Y of the first storage compartment 110 can be greater than or equal to the target humidity threshold Y2 when the first fan 220 stops operating.
[0316] S47: Control the first fan 220 to stop running.
[0317] When the first fan 220 starts running for a period of time greater than or equal to the first preset period of time t set In the case of , it is considered that the current compartment humidity Y in the first storage compartment 110 is greater than or equal to the second humidity threshold Y2. At this time, the controller 15 controls the first fan 220 to stop running.
[0318] It should be noted that since the fifth sensor 310 is arranged at the fourth air outlet 1213 of the first partition 140, when the first fan 220 is started and running, the fifth sensor 310 detects the humidity of the high-humidity air blown out of the first partition 140, which cannot accurately reflect the humidity in the first storage compartment 110, that is, it is impossible to determine whether the humidity in the first storage compartment 110 is greater than or equal to the second humidity threshold value Y2, so it is impossible to control the first fan 220 to stop working through the humidity value detected by the fifth sensor 310.
[0319] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 28 , after executing S45 , that is, after controlling the first wind turbine 220 to operate, the controller 15 may further execute S48 to S49 .
[0320] S48, determine whether the compartment humidity Y is less than the third humidity threshold Y3, if so, execute S49, if not, continue to execute S45.
[0321] The third humidity threshold Y3 is a low humidity threshold of the first storage compartment 110. The controller 15 obtains the compartment humidity Y detected by the fifth sensor 310 and compares it with the third humidity threshold Y3. If the compartment humidity Y is greater than or equal to the third humidity threshold Y3, it indicates that the air humidity of the first storage compartment 110 meets the requirement.
[0322] It should be noted that while the first fan 220 is running, the water stored in the first water storage box 210 is continuously consumed, and humid air is blown out from the first air outlet 213 of the first water storage box 210 to supply humid air to the first storage compartment 110. Therefore, if there is sufficient water in the first water storage box 210, the compartment humidity Y collected by the fifth sensor 310 should be approximately equal to the second humidity threshold value Y2.
[0323] In some embodiments, the first humidity threshold Y1 , the second humidity threshold Y2 , and the third humidity threshold Y3 satisfy: Y1 ≤ Y3 < Y2 .
[0324] In some embodiments, the third humidity threshold Y3 satisfies: Y3 = (Y2 - Y1) / 2.
[0325] S49, control the water injection pump 260 to start again.
[0326] During the startup of the first blower 220, if the compartment humidity Y measured by the fifth sensor 310 satisfies the condition Y<Y3, the controller 15 controls the second water storage box 240 to refill the first water storage box 210. This can reduce the manufacturing cost of the humidifier 200.
[0327] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a control method is further provided, which is applied to the controller 15, and the control method includes: controlling the locker 1000 to be powered on; controlling the water injection pump 260 to be turned on; if it is determined that the second time length t2 has passed, controlling the water injection pump 260 to be turned off; if it is determined that the compartment humidity Y is less than the first humidity threshold Y1, controlling the first fan 220 to be operated; if it is determined that the seventh time length t7 is greater than or equal to the first preset time length t set , the first fan 220 is controlled to stop running; if it is determined that the compartment humidity Y is less than the third humidity threshold Y3, the water injection pump 260 is controlled to start again.
[0328] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 29 , after the controller 15 executes S49 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water injection pump 260 to turn on again, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S50 to S52 .
[0329] S50 , recording the cumulative number of times C that the second water storage box 240 performs water injection on the first water storage box 210 .
[0330] S51. Determine whether T is greater than or equal to m. If so, execute S52; if not, continue to execute S50.
[0331] In some embodiments, the preset number threshold m can be calculated based on the second target water storage capacity V2 of the second water storage box 240 and the single water injection volume ΔN. For example, the ratio V2 / ΔN of the second target water storage capacity V2 of the second water storage box 240 and the single water injection volume is calculated and rounded up to obtain the preset number threshold m.
[0332] S52: Fill the second water storage box 240 with water.
[0333] When the cumulative number C of times the second water storage box 240 fills the first water storage box 210 with water is greater than or equal to the preset number threshold m, it can be determined that the second water storage box 240 is short of water. In this case, water is filled into the second water storage box 240.
[0334] In some embodiments, the number of water injection operations performed on the second water storage box 240 is accumulated. As the amount of water added to the first water storage box 210 increases, the water level in the second water storage box 240 falls below a second preset water level. If the accumulated number of water injection operations, C, satisfies C ≥ m, it indicates that the water level in the second water storage box 240 has fallen below the second preset water level, and the second water storage box 240 is determined to be short of water. In this way, the second water storage box 240 can be replenished with water in a timely manner, ensuring the normal operation of the humidifier 200.
[0335] In some embodiments, S52 may include S18.
[0336] In some embodiments, after the controller 15 executes S18 , that is, after the controller 15 controls the water valve 290 to open, the controller 15 is further configured to execute S190 and S200 .
