DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0034] The technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it will be apparent that the embodiments described herein are merely some, not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0035] As used herein, the terms first, second, etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. A plurality of means two or more, unless otherwise stated.

[0036] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cigar cabinet according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the cigar cabinet comprises a shell in which a humidifying assembly 1, a refrigerating assembly 2 and a heating assembly 3 (see FIG. 2) are arranged.

[0037] The humidifying assembly 1 includes a guide trough 11, a first water collecting trough 12, a second water collecting trough 13 and a partition 14. The first water collecting trough 12 is respectively in communication with the second water collecting trough 13 and the guide trough 11. The first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13 are arranged on a bottom wall of the shell of the cigar cabinet, the guide trough 11 is arranged on a side wall of the shell of the cigar cabinet close to the first water collecting trough 12, and the guide trough 11 is located under the refrigerating assembly 2 and is respectively connected to the first water collecting trough 12 and the refrigerating assembly 2, so as to guide condensed water generated during the refrigeration process of the refrigerating assembly 2 into the first water collecting trough 12. A partition 14 is provided at a side of the first water collecting trough 12 where the first water collecting trough 12 is connected to the second water collecting trough 13. In one embodiment, the height of the partition 14 is less than the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12. When the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is higher than the partition 14, the condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 can flow into the second water collecting trough 13 from the top of the partition 14, so that excess condensed water is discharged into the second water collecting trough 13 in time before the first water collecting trough 12 is full of water. Thus, water overflowing from the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12 is avoided. A drain hole 131 is defined at the bottom of the second water collecting trough 13. The drain hole 131 passes through the bottom wall of the cigar cabinet or the side wall of the cigar cabinet to guide the water in the second water collecting trough 13 out of the cabinet, thereby preventing cigars from getting damp by overflowing water.

[0038] Of the first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13, the one with the drain hole 131 serves as a drain trough, and the one without the drain hole 131 serves as a liquid storage trough. The volume of the one with the drain hole 131 is less than the volume of the other. That is, the volume of the liquid storage trough is greater than that of the drain trough. When the drain hole 131 is provided in the first water collecting trough 12, the volume of the first water collecting trough 12 is less than the volume of the second water collecting trough 13, and when the drain hole 131 is provided in the second water collecting trough 131, the volume of the first water collecting trough 12 is greater than the volume of the second water collecting trough 13. In this way, the liquid storage trough can store more condensed water to keep the humidity inside the cigar cabinet.

[0039] In this embodiment, the height of the side wall of the second water collecting trough 13 is the same as that of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, the volume of the first water collecting trough 12 is greater than that of the second water collecting trough 13, and the first water collecting trough 12 serves as a liquid storage trough for storing condensed water to keep the humidity inside the cigar cabinet. The first water collecting trough 12 has a large volume and can store more condensed water for humidification inside the cabinet. The second water collecting trough 13 discharges excess condensed water out of the cabinet. In a normal humidification state, there is no water in the second water collecting trough 13 and much water in the first water collecting trough 12, thereby ensuring the humidity inside the cabinet and preventing water from overflowing. The second water collecting trough 13 with the drain hole 131 can prevent the condensed water, being generated excessively within a period of time, from overflowing.

[0040] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the height of the partition 14 is less than that of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12 is the same as that of the side wall of the second water collecting trough 13, and the first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the partition 14. The first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13 have the same depth, the partition 14 is located between the first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13, and the height of the partition 14 is less than the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12. In this way, the partition 14 is configured to separate the bottom area of the first water collecting trough 12 from the bottom area of the second water collecting trough 13 and to connect the top of the first water collecting trough 12 and the top of the second water collecting trough 13.

[0041] In another embodiment as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the height of the partition 14 is less than the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12 is less than that of the side wall of the second water collecting trough 13, and a part of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12 facing and corresponding to the first water collecting trough 12 constitutes the partition 14. The heights of the side walls of the first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13 are different to cause a height difference. Due to existing of the height difference, the part of the side wall of the second water collecting trough 13 facing and corresponding to the first water collecting trough 12 becomes a partition 14. Thus, the partition 14 is naturally formed during the process of forming the second water collecting trough 13, thereby reducing the difficulty of production.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drain hole 131 is provided in the first water collecting trough 12, the volume of the second water collecting trough 13 is greater than the volume of the first water collecting trough 12, and the second water collecting trough 13 serves as a liquid storage trough. A convex pipe is arranged in the first water collecting trough 12, the height of the convex pipe is greater than the top height of the partition 14 and less than the height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, and a drain hole 131 passes through the convex pipe, so the top height of the drain hole 131 is greater than the top height of the partition 14 and less than the top height of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12.

[0043] In yet another embodiment shown in FIG. 7 and still another embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the height of the partition 14 is equal to or greater than the side wall height of the first water collecting trough 12, and the partition 14 defines a passage 141 connecting the second water collecting trough 13 and the first water collecting trough 12, the bottom height (the height of the bottom) of the passage 141 is less than the side wall height of the first water collecting trough 12, the drain hole 131 is provided in the first water collecting trough 12, and the top height (the height of the top) of the drain hole 131 is less than the side wall height of the first water collecting trough 12. By arranging the passage 141 on the partition 14, the condensed water first flows into the first water collecting trough 12 through the guide trough 11, and then flows from the first water collecting trough 12 into the second water collecting trough 13 through the passage 141. When the level of condensed water in the second water collecting trough 13 is higher than the bottom of the passage 141, the condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 no longer completely flows to the second water collecting trough 13, but partially flows to the second water collecting trough 13, and partially remains in the first water collecting trough 12, so that the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is the same with the level of condensed water in the second water collecting trough 13. When the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is equal to the top of the drain hole 131, the condensed water flowing from the guide trough 11 to the first water collecting trough 12 is discharged from the drain hole 131 and no longer flows into the second water collecting trough 13, thereby preventing the condensed water from overflowing from the second water collecting trough 13.

[0044] It can be understood that the lowest point of the passage 141 is lower than the top of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, so that the condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 flows from the passage 141 into the second water collecting trough 13 before the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 arrives the highest water level of the first water collecting trough 12. The highest point of the drain hole 131 is lower than the top of the side wall of the first water collecting trough 12, so that the condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is discharged from the drain hole 131 before the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 arrives the highest water level of the first water collecting trough 12, thereby preventing the condensed water from overflowing from the first water collecting trough 12.

[0045] The specific shape and location of the passage 141 are not limited. For example, the passage 141 may be configured as a through hole arranged in an upper middle part of the partition 14, or the passage 141 may also be configured as a connecting notch arranged at the top of the partition 14 as shown in FIG. 7, or the passage 141 may also be configured as connecting notches arranged at two ends of the partition 14 as shown in FIG. 8.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first water collecting trough 12 serves as a drain trough, and the second water collecting trough 13 serves as a liquid storage trough. The volume of the second water collecting trough 13 is greater than that of the first water collecting trough 12 so as to store more condensed water to keep the humidity inside the cigar cabinet. Preferably, the volume of the second water collecting trough 13 serving as a liquid storage trough is 1.54 times that of the first water collecting trough 12 serving as a drain trough. For example, the volume of the second water collecting trough 13 is 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 or 4 times that of the first water collecting trough 12.

[0047] Optionally, when the drain hole 131 is provided in the first collecting trough 12, the top height of the drain hole 131 is greater than the top height of the partition 14 or greater than the bottom height of the passage 141. That is, when the partition 14 communicates the first collecting trough 12 and the second collecting trough 13 by setting the height of the partition 14 less than the side wall height of the first collecting trough 12, the top height of the drain hole 131 is greater than the top height of the partition 14; when the partition 14 communicates the first collecting trough 12 and the second collecting trough 13 by providing the passage 141, the top height of the drain hole 131 is greater than the bottom height of the passage 141, so as to prevent the condensed water from flowing out of the cigar cabinet via the drain hole 131 when the condensed water flows from the first collecting trough 12 to the second collecting trough 13, and to avoid affecting the storage of condensed water in the second collecting trough 13.

[0048] In this embodiment, a passage 141 is defined in the partition 14, and the top height of the drain hole 131 is greater than the bottom height of the passage 141. Because the condensed water in the guide trough 11 needs to pass through the first water collecting trough 12 first and then flow into the second water collecting trough 13, and the drain hole 131 is provided in the first water collecting trough 12 with the top height of the drain hole 131 greater than the bottom height of the passage 141, when the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is lower than the drain hole 131, the first water collecting trough 12 serves as a connecting trough and a liquid storage trough, so that the condensed water in the guide trough 11 flows into the second water collecting trough 13 through the first water collecting trough 12 and the passage 141. In this case, the drain hole 131 will not affect the storage of condensed water in the second water collecting trough 13. After the level of condensed water in the first water collecting trough 12 is equal to the drain hole 131, the first water collecting trough 12 serves as a drain trough to discharge excess condensed water, thereby preventing the condensed water from overflowing from the first water collecting trough 12 and the second water collecting trough 13.

[0049] FIG. 2 is a front view of the cigar cabinet as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the humidifying assembly 1 further includes a water pan 15 which is arranged below the bottom wall of the cigar cabinet close to the drain hole 131, and the water pan 15 is detachably connected to an outer wall of the cigar cabinet. The water pan 15 is used to contain excess condensed water discharged from the drain hole 131. The guide trough 11 includes a water collecting portion 111 and a guiding portion 112 which are arranged in the side wall of the cigar cabinet. The central lines of the water collecting portion 111 and the guiding portion 112 are arranged on a same straight line in a vertical/height direction of the cigar cabinet. The guiding portion 112 is connected to one end of the first water collecting trough 12, and the width of the guiding portion 112 is less than the width of the first water collecting trough 12 to prevent the condensed water from splashing on two sides when flowing down. The water collecting portion 111 is funnel-shaped, and the width of an end of the water collecting portion 111 away from the guiding portion 112 is greater than the width of an end of the water collecting portion 111 close to the guiding portion 112. The end of the water collecting portion 111 away from the guiding portion 112 is connected to a second air inlet on the refrigerating assembly 2 to collect condensed water at the vent and quickly guide the condensed water into the first water collecting trough 12.

[0050] In another optional example, as shown in FIG. 7, the guide trough 11 further includes an extension portion 113 provided on the bottom wall of the cigar cabinet, the extension direction of the extension portion 113 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the guiding portion 112, the guiding portion 112 connects the water collecting portion 111 and the extension portion 113, and the extension portion 113 extends from the guiding portion 112 to the first water collecting trough 12, thereby connecting the guiding portion 112 and the first water collecting trough 12. The first water collecting trough 12 is spaced from the side wall provided with the water collecting portion 111 and the guiding portion 112, and the extension portion 113 and the guiding portion 112 are in an arc transition at an intersection thereof. The condensed water first flows, under the action of gravity, from the water collecting portion 111 to the extension portion 113 via the guiding portion 112, and then flows, under the action of inertia, from the extension portion 113 into the first water collecting trough 12. In this way, the kinetic energy of the condensed water when entering the first water collecting trough 12 is reduced, and the risk of droplets splashing when the condensed water enters the first water collecting trough 12 is lowered. In addition, the extension portion 113 and the guiding portion 112 are in an arc transition at an intersection thereof, thereby ensuring that the condensed water flows from the guiding portion 112 into the extension portion 113 more smoothly.

[0051] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the refrigerating assembly 2 includes a circulating fan 23, a refrigerating element 24 and a heat dissipation fan 25. The inner side wall 52 defines a first air inlet 521, a second air inlet 522 and an air outlet 523. The first air inlet 521, the air outlet 523 and the second air inlet 522 are arranged at the inner side wall 52 from top to bottom in the vertical direction, the circulating fan 23 is arranged on the outer surface of the inner side wall 52 and aligned with the air outlet 523, and the heat dissipation fan 25 is arranged on the outer wall of the cigar cabinet close to a hot side 242 of the refrigerating element 24, and the circulating fan 23 is arranged on the side wall of the cigar cabinet close to a cold side 241 of the refrigerating element 24. The refrigerating element 24 is preferably a semiconductor refrigerating sheet, also known as a Peltier cooler or thermoelectric cooler, which works based on the Peltier effect. The refrigerating element 24 comprises the cold side 241 and the hot side 242 opposite to each other. In operation, the cold side 241 absorbs heat and cools down while the hot side 242 release heat and warms up. The heat dissipation fan 25 is configured to speed up heat dissipation of the hot side 242. The cold side 241 and the hot side 242 are both provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins, which are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction such that a plurality of vertical grooves is formed between adjacent fins. The heat dissipation fins can be made of aluminum, so that the condensed water at the end of the cold side 241 flows into the guide trough 11 in the vertical direction. The refrigerating element further comprises a trumpet-shaped ventilation pipe 26 connected between the inner side wall 52 and the outer side wall 54. The cross-sectional area of the ventilation pipe 26 on the side close to the circulating fan 23 is larger than the cross-sectional area on the side close to the heat dissipation fan 25. The circulating fan 23 blows the air in the accommodation chamber 56 of the cabinet to the cold side 241. After heat exchange, the cold air enters the accommodation chamber 56 of the cabinet again via the first air inlet 521 and the second air inlet 22 to thereby cool the cigars stored in the accommodation chamber 56. The ventilation pipe 26 has one side fixedly connected to the inner surface of the outer wall 52 of the cigar cabinet and the other side fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inner side wall 52 of the cigar cabinet, so that the air in the cabinet circulates internally without contacting the external air, thereby facilitating the control over the temperature and humidity of the air in the cabinet. The refrigerating assembly 2 may be used to reduce the temperature in the cabinet, and also to cause the condensation of water vapor and the reduction of the humidity in the cabinet.

[0052] The heating assembly 3 is provided on the side wall or the top wall of the cigar cabinet. The heating assembly 3 includes a heating cover mesh and a heating element arranged in the heating cover mesh. The heating cover mesh is capable of preventing over-high temperature of a certain part caused by the heating element in direct contact with cigars. The heating assembly 3 is configured to increase the temperature inside the accommodation chamber 56 of the cigar cabinet and also to accelerate the evaporation rate of water in the first water collecting trough 12 or the second water collecting trough 12, thereby increasing the humidity in the cabinet.

[0053] When the refrigerating assembly 2 stops working, the humidification effect is achieved by the volatilization of water in the first water collecting trough 12 or the second water collecting trough 13. When the humidity needs to be reduced, the refrigerating assembly 2 starts to work for refrigerating, and the water vapor in the air condenses and flows into the first water collecting trough 12, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the humidity inside the cabinet.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments here. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
