In low temperature environments, the humidity within the refrigeration equipment tends to decrease to a lower level, resulting in evaporation of water from the surface of the article, causing drying and degradation of the article. The humidifying assembly increases the humidity inside the device by releasing water vapor or atomized water droplets, thereby maintaining the wet state of the article and preventing it from being damaged by drying.

Taking a wine cabinet as an example, a humidifying component in the wine cabinet is equipment designed for keeping a proper humidity environment in the wine cabinet. Red wine is especially required to be preserved under a constant humidity, so that the bottle stopper can be prevented from drying and the wine liquid can be prevented from evaporating, and the taste and quality of the wine can be maintained. In short, the humidifying component of the wine cabinet ensures that the wine cannot become smell due to too dry environment.

The active humidifying type humidifying component generally comprises a humidifying fan and a water storage tank, wherein water or humidifying materials such as volcanic rock containing water, non-woven fabrics and the like are placed in the water storage tank, the humidifying fan is located at one end of the water storage tank and blows air towards the other end of the water storage tank, and high-humidity air in the water storage tank is brought into the wine cabinet through the humidifying fan. The long water storage tank design lengthens the length of the water storage tank, so that the water surface area is larger, and the evaporation rate of water is improved. During humidification, more water molecules can be exposed to the air, thereby accelerating evaporation. However, because only one air outlet of the humidifying assembly is continuous, namely, the size and the position of the air outlet correspond to those of the water storage tank, most of air blown by the humidifying fan flows out from one end of the air outlet, which is close to the humidifying fan, so that only a small part of air blown by the humidifying fan reaches the other end of the water storage tank, the water evaporation of the water storage tank is uneven, the water utilization rate is low, and the humidifying efficiency is reduced.

A description will now be given of how the humidifying module 100 and the refrigerating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention solve the above-described problems with reference to fig. 1 to 10.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, it will be appreciated that the humidifying assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 101, a water storage member 102, a first fan 103 and a cover plate 104, wherein a first mounting groove 105 and a second mounting groove 106 are provided in the housing 101, a division bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the division bar 107 is located at a bottom position of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 such that bottoms of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 cannot communicate, and tops of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 can communicate. The first fan 103 is disposed in the first mounting groove 105, the water storage member 102 is disposed in the second mounting groove 106, the water storage member 102 comprises a humidifying material such as volcanic rock and non-woven fabric, namely, the humidifying material can be a porous water absorbent material with a dense-sparse structure, and the diameters and volumes of holes in the water absorbent material with the dense-sparse structure are smaller than those of water drops which normally drop, so that water drops cannot flow through the water absorbent material with the dense-porous structure, and meanwhile air flows can pass through the water absorbent material with the dense-porous structure. The air flow blown out by the first fan 103 enters the second installation groove 106 from the upper part of the parting bead 107 and contacts with the humidifying material to take away the moisture stored in the humidifying material, so that high-humidity air is formed. The cover plate 104 is connected to the housing 101 and is positioned above the first and second mounting grooves 105 and 106, and a gap exists between the cover plate 104 and the water storage member 102 to form a humidifying passage. The cover plate 104 is provided with a plurality of first air outlets 108 which are arranged at intervals, and the high-humidity air flows out from the plurality of first air outlets 108 respectively. The first fan 103 is electrified to work, after the relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 to accelerate, the dry air rapidly passes through the surface of the humidifying material, and the air with high surface humidity of the humidifying material is rapidly taken away from the first air outlet 108 on the cover plate 104 to the target space to be mixed with the air, so that the relative humidity of the target space is increased. The moisture at the bottom of the water storage member 102 can be absorbed quickly and volatilized above the moisture storage member (the moisture density is small) after the moisture above the humidifying material is taken away, so that the air above the humidifying material is kept in a high-humidity state. Because a plurality of first air outlets 108 are along the direction interval setting of keeping away from first fan 103, the air-out area of single first air outlet 108 is less for high humidity air can not concentrate from several first air outlets 108 that are close to first fan 103 flow, and more high humidity air can flow to the direction of keeping away from first fan 103, thereby can take away more moisture that humidification material stored, and then improves humidification efficiency.

It should be noted that, the water storage member 102 may also include a water box, in which the liquid is stored, and the top of the water box is opened, so that the liquid in the water box contacts with the air flow blown by the first fan 103. The water box may be provided separately in the second mounting groove 106, i.e. the water box may be a separate element. The water box may also be integrally formed with the housing 101 as part of the housing 101. The water storage member 102 may also be a humidifier, such as an ultrasonic humidifier, a steam (thermal evaporation) humidifier, in which the ultrasonic humidifier atomizes water into micron-sized particles by using an ultrasonic transducer (typically a ceramic or metal element) that vibrates at high frequency, and then blows the water mist into the air by a fan. This technique does not generate heat and is therefore known as a "cold mist" humidifier. The steam humidifier heats water to boiling by a heating element, generates steam, and then releases the steam into the air. This type of humidifier is also known as a "hot mist" humidifier.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, it can be understood that the cover plate 104 includes an air outlet area B, and the air outlet area B is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances along a direction away from the first fan 103, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108. Along the direction far away from the first fan 103, the plurality of air outlet units are sequentially defined as an air outlet unit B1, an air outlet unit B2, an air outlet unit B3, an air outlet unit B4, an air outlet unit B5, an air outlet unit B6 and an air outlet unit B7, wherein the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B2 is larger than the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B1, the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B3 is larger than the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B2, the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B4 is larger than the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B3, the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B5 is larger than the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B4, and the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B7 is larger than the air outlet amount of the air outlet unit B6, so that the air outlet amount of the air outlet area B increases along the direction far away from the first fan 103, more air flows through one end of the humidifying material far away from the first fan 103, the contact area and the contact time between the humidifying material and the air flow are enlarged, and the humidity of the humidifying assembly 100 is enabled to be higher.

Referring to fig. 3, it can be understood that in some embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are different, and the farther from the first fan 103, the larger the corresponding air outlet area of the first air outlet 108. Specifically, the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is larger than the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1, the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is larger than the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2, the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b4 is larger than the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3, the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b5 is larger than the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6, the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b7 is larger than the air outlet area of any one of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b6, and the whole wet material is guaranteed to be fully taken away.

It will be appreciated that the air volumes of the two first air outlets 108 farthest from the first fan 103 occupy 55% to 70% of the total air volume of the air outlet area B, that is, the air outlet area of the first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit B7 and the air outlet area of the first air outlet 108 of the air outlet unit B6 in fig. 3 occupy 55% to 70% of the total air volume of the air outlet area B. More than half of the air flows out from the last two first air outlets 108, so that most of the air flows are fully contacted with the surface of the water storage piece 102 and then blown out to the target space, thereby improving the humidity entering the target space and the humidifying efficiency.

It should be noted that the number of the first air outlets 108 in the air outlet area B may be 4,5, 6, 8, 9 or more.

Referring to fig. 4, it will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the air outlet areas of all the first air outlets 108 are the same, and the distances between two adjacent first air outlets 108 gradually decrease along the direction away from the first fan 103, so that the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1, and the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is greater than the number of first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b 2. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, and the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3. And the distance between two adjacent first air outlets 108 is divided into L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 in turn along the direction away from the first fan 103, so that the condition that L1> L2> L3> L4> L5 is satisfied. Thus, the air flow blown out from the first fan 103 is less in the air outlet unit b1, more is blown out from the air outlet unit b3, and the air flow blown out from the air outlet unit b3 substantially contacts the surface of the humidified material in the length direction, so that the humidity of the air flow blown out is high in most parts. The air flows blown out by the air outlet units b1 and b2 can increase the overall air outlet volume and humidity of the humidifying assembly 100.

It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the air outlet area B is divided into a plurality of air outlet units with equal distances along the direction away from the first fan 103, and each air outlet unit is provided with a first air outlet 108. The first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, and all the first air outlets 108 may be the same or different. The number of the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit gradually increases in a direction away from the first fan 103. For example, the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b1 is 1, the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 is 2, the 2 first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b2 are arranged along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the air outlet unit, the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 is 3, and the 3 first air outlets 108 of the air outlet unit b3 are arranged along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the air outlet unit. The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment shown in fig. 4 is that the number of the first air outlets 108 of the air outlet units is increased along the direction away from the first fan 103, and the difference is that in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged along the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units, and in this embodiment, all the first air outlets 108 of each air outlet unit are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of air outlet units. The air outlet of one end far away from the first fan 103 can be larger than the air outlet of one end close to the first fan 103, so that the humidifying efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, in order to achieve that the air output at the end far from the first fan 103 is greater than the air output at the end close to the first fan 103, the air output area of the single first air outlet 108 may be increased along the direction far from the first fan 103, or the number of first air outlets 108 may be increased along the direction far from the first fan 103. In addition to increasing the air outlet area of the single first air outlet 108, the length of the first air outlet 108 may be increased along the arrangement direction of the air outlet units, as shown in fig. 3, in addition to increasing the length of the first air outlet 108 along the arrangement direction perpendicular to the air outlet units. The manner of increasing the number of the first air outlets 108, in addition to increasing the number of the first air outlets 108 along the straight line direction as shown in fig. 4, may also increase the number of the first air outlets 108 along a curve or the like, and the above illustrated embodiment is only for convenience of understanding, and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, it will be appreciated that the cover 104 includes a closed area a, and an air inlet 112 is provided on the cover 104, and the first fan 103 sucks air through the air inlet 112, and the closed area a is located between the first fan 103 and the air outlet area B. The enclosed area a is not provided with an air outlet, so that the air outlet area B is far away from the air inlet 112, and the probability that the wet air is sucked back to the first fan 103 once being blown out from the air outlet area B is reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, it can be understood that the distance h between the cover plate 104 and the surface of the humidifying material is 10 mm.ltoreq.h.ltoreq.15 mm, or the water storage member 102 has a liquid, and the distance h between the cover plate 104 and the surface of the liquid is 10 mm.ltoreq.h.ltoreq.15 mm. When h is less than 10mm, the cross-sectional area through which the air flow passes is small, the air volume is small, noise may be increased, and when the air flow is blown onto the liquid surface, the possibly blown-up waves block the air outlet, even the water droplets are blown out of the first air outlet 108, and the target space is wetted by the water. When h is larger than 15mm, the cross-sectional area through which the air flows is large, the air speed is low, the air quantity of the air flowing to one end of the water storage piece 102 far away from the first fan 103 is small, and the humidifying efficiency is reduced. When h is more than or equal to 10mm and less than or equal to 15mm, the air flow can be ensured to have larger wind speed, the noise is also smaller, and the humidifying efficiency is high.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, it will be appreciated that the humidifying assembly 100 includes a connecting duct 109, the connecting duct 109 being configured to direct the air flow blown by the first fan 103 to the outer surface of the water storage member 102. The connecting air pipe 109 is provided with a first pipe orifice 110 and a second pipe orifice 201, the first pipe orifice 110 is abutted against the outlet of the first fan 103, the second pipe orifice 201 faces the gap between the cover plate 104 and the water storage member 102, and the first fan 103, the connecting air pipe 109 and the water storage member 102 are arranged along the length direction of the casing 101. The outlet size of the first fan 103 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 105 in the height direction of the housing 101, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 105 in the width direction of the housing 101, so that the outlet of the first fan 103 is concentrated on one side in the width direction and a large air output is maintained in the height direction. Since the spacer 107 is correspondingly disposed between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the water storage member 102 has a certain height, in the height direction of the housing 101, the height of the first nozzle 110 is greater than the height of the second nozzle 201, so that the air flow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the gap between the cover plate 104 and the water storage member 102, and in the width direction of the housing 101, the width of the second nozzle 201 is greater than the width of the first nozzle 110, thereby increasing the contact area of the air flow and the humidifying material of the water storage member 102 and improving the humidifying efficiency.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, it will be appreciated that the humidifying assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 101, a water storage member 102, a first fan 103 and a wind dividing duct 501, wherein a first mounting groove 105 and a second mounting groove 106 are provided in the housing 101, a division bar 107 is provided between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the division bar 107 is located at a bottom position of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 such that bottoms of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 cannot communicate, and tops of the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106 can communicate. The first fan 103 is arranged in the first mounting groove 105, the water storage piece 102 is arranged in the second mounting groove 106, the water storage piece 102 comprises humidification materials such as volcanic rock and non-woven fabrics, air flow blown out by the first fan 103 enters the second mounting groove 106 from the upper part of the parting bead 107, and moisture stored in the humidification materials is taken away by contact with the humidification materials, so that high-humidity air is formed. The air dividing duct 501 is connected with the first fan 103, the air dividing duct 501 is provided with a plurality of third air outlets 601, all third air outlets 601 face the water storage piece 102, namely conveying air flow generated by the first fan 103 is divided into a plurality of branch air flows through all third air outlets 601 and then passes through the water storage piece 102.

The water storage member 102 may be a water tank, in which liquid is stored, and the top of the water tank is opened, so that the liquid in the water tank contacts with the air flow blown by the first fan 103. The water box may be provided separately in the second mounting groove 106, i.e. the water box may be a separate element. The water box may also be integrally formed with the housing 101 as part of the housing 101. The water storage member 102 may also be a humidifier, such as an ultrasonic humidifier, a steam (thermal evaporation) humidifier.

Referring to fig. 6, it can be understood that, in any two third air outlets 601, the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 far from the first fan 103 is larger than the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 near to the first fan 103. That is, the air outlet areas of all the third air outlets 601 are different, and the variation trend is increasing along the direction away from the first fan 103. The wind pressure in the wind dividing duct 501 is also unequal, and the closer the wind pressure is to the first fan 103, the larger the wind pressure is, and the farther the wind pressure is from the first fan 103, the smaller the wind pressure is. Whereas wind pressure is proportional to the square of wind speed, which can be expressed in particular by the bernoulli equation. Specifically, the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 of the air dividing duct 501 near one end of the first fan 103 is the smallest, but the air speed is the largest. The air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 of the end of the air dividing duct 501 far away from the first fan 103 is the largest, but the air speed is the smallest. Like this the air output difference of each third air outlet 601 is less for the air current that the fan blown out can keep comparatively even contact with whole humidification material, lets the play rheumatism degree distribution of humidification assembly 100 more even.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, it is understood that the humidifying assembly 100 includes a connecting air duct 109. In this embodiment, the connection duct 109 is used for guiding the airflow blown by the first fan 103 to the air dividing duct 501. The connecting air pipe 109 is provided with a first pipe opening 110 and a second pipe opening 201, the first pipe opening 110 is in butt joint with the outlet of the first fan 103, the second pipe opening 201 is in butt joint with the air dividing air pipe 501, the first fan 103, the connecting air pipe 109 and the air dividing air pipe 501 are arranged along the length direction of the shell 101, and the air dividing air pipe 501 is arranged on one side of the shell 101 in the width direction and is located above the water storage piece 102. The outlet size of the first fan 103 is substantially equal to the height of the first mounting groove 105 in the height direction of the housing 101, and is smaller than the width of the first mounting groove 105 in the width direction of the housing 101, so that the outlet of the first fan 103 is concentrated on one side in the width direction and a large air output is maintained in the height direction. Correspondingly, a division bar 107 is arranged between the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and the water storage piece 102 has a certain height, so that in the height direction of the shell 101, the height of the first pipe opening 110 is larger than that of the second pipe opening 201, the air flow blown out by the first fan 103 is guided to the air distribution pipe 501, in the width direction of the shell 101, the width of the second pipe opening 201 is smaller than that of the first pipe opening 110, and therefore the occupied space of the air distribution pipe 501 is reduced, and the air flow blown out from the air distribution pipe 501 can contact a larger area of humidification material, so that the humidification efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the distance between two adjacent third air outlets 601 is gradually reduced along the direction away from the first fan 103, so that the purpose of making the air output of each length unit of the air distribution duct 501 uniform can be achieved by gradually increasing the number of the third air outlets 601 along the direction away from the first fan 103. In addition to increasing the air outlet area of the single third air outlet 601, the width of the third air outlet 601 along the length direction perpendicular to the air dividing duct 501 as shown in fig. 6 may also be increased along the length direction of the air dividing duct 501. The manner of increasing the number of the first air outlets 108, in addition to increasing the number of the third air outlets 601 along the length direction of the air dividing duct 501, may also increase the number of the third air outlets 601 along the width of the third air outlets 601, which is only for convenience of understanding, and is not limited herein.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, it will be understood that a plurality of partition plates 502 are disposed in the housing 101 at equal intervals, and the plurality of partition plates 502 are disposed along the length direction of the air separation duct 501, that is, in a direction away from the first fan 103. One or more third air outlets 601 are arranged between every two partition boards 502, so that an independent humidifying unit is formed between every two partition boards 502, and the partition boards 502 are used for enabling the humidifying units to be not easy to influence or interfere with each other, and further guaranteeing the humidifying uniformity of the humidifying assembly 100 at each position.

It will be appreciated that, in order to ensure that the humidity of each humidification cell is approximately equal, the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 may be increased or the number of the third air outlets 601 may be increased along a direction away from the first fan 103. For example, when the number of the third air outlets 601 included in all the humidification cells is equal, the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 of the humidification cell close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the air outlet area of the third air outlet 601 of the humidification cell far from the first fan 103. When the air outlet areas of the single third air outlets 601 included in all the humidification cells are equal, the number of the third air outlets 601 of the humidification cells close to the first fan 103 is smaller than the number of the third air outlets 601 of the humidification cells far from the first fan 103.

Referring to fig. 7, it can be understood that, the notch 701 provided on the partition 502 for accommodating the air dividing duct 501 can play a role of avoiding the air dividing duct 501, so that the overall structure of the humidifying assembly 100 is more compact and occupies a small space. The air distributing pipe 501 can be fixed, so that the air distributing pipe 501 is fixed in the notch 701 and is not easy to shake, and the stability of the air outlet end is ensured. The air flow on the upper side of the split air duct 501 can be limited, and the distance between the humidification units, which is not easy to influence or interfere, can be prolonged.

Referring to fig. 5, it may be understood that the humidifying assembly 100 may further include a cover plate 104, where the cover plate 104 is connected to the housing 101 and located above the first mounting groove 105 and the second mounting groove 106, and a plurality of first air outlets 108 are disposed on the cover plate 104 at intervals, and each first air outlet 108 is disposed at a position corresponding to a position of one humidifying unit, and high humidity air flows out from the plurality of first air outlets 108 respectively. The first fan 103 is electrified to work, after the relatively dry air is sucked into the first fan 103 to accelerate, the dry air rapidly passes through the surface of the humidifying material, and the air with high surface humidity of the humidifying material is rapidly taken away from the first air outlet 108 on the cover plate 104 to the target space to be mixed with the air, so that the relative humidity of the target space is increased.

Referring to fig. 8 to 10, it will be appreciated that the refrigeration apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention may be a refrigerator, a wine cabinet, or the like. The refrigeration apparatus comprises a cabinet 801, a refrigeration assembly and a humidifying assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the invention, the cabinet 801 being provided with a storage compartment and an air supply duct 901 for delivering an air flow to the storage compartment, the refrigeration assembly being for providing a refrigeration environment for the storage compartment, the refrigeration assembly comprising an evaporator 1001 and a compressor configured to controllably generate a cooling air flow and to cause the cooling air flow to be directed to the storage compartment through the air supply duct 901. That is, the refrigeration assembly is used to refrigerate the storage compartment. The humidifying assembly 100 is disposed in the cabinet 801 and is configured to controllably generate a high humidity airflow and deliver the high humidity airflow to the supply duct 901 such that the high humidity airflow flows into the storage compartment with the cooling airflow. It will be appreciated that the greater moisture in the high humidity airflow can increase the humidity within the compartment.

Referring to fig. 9 and 10, it can be understood that the air supply duct 901 includes a second air outlet 902 and an air return 1002, which are communicated with the storage compartment, the second air outlet 902 is located at the top of the storage compartment, and the air return 1002 is located at the bottom of the storage compartment. The refrigeration device includes a second fan for causing the storage compartment and the supply duct 901 to circulate air, and the first air outlet 108 is provided near the return air inlet 1002. When both the second fan and the humidifying assembly 100 are in the working state, the high moisture flow generated by the humidifying assembly 100 is sent to the air supply duct 901 through the air return opening 1002, and enters the storage compartment through the second air outlet 902. Through the secondary acceleration of the second fan, the high-humidity airflow is more fully mixed with the air in the storage room from the second air outlet 902, so that the humidifying efficiency is further improved.

It will be appreciated that the first fan 103 has a low power and a low driving capacity, and it is difficult to efficiently deliver the high humidity airflow generated thereby to the upper region of the storage compartment. The second fan is used for conveying cooling air flow to the storage compartment, and has high power and high driving capability, so that the high-humidity air flow generated by the humidifying component 100 can be skillfully caused to flow at a high speed by using the air supply of the second fan, and the cooling air flow is effectively conveyed to the whole space of the storage compartment.

It should be noted that, when the humidifying assembly 100 is in the working state, mainly in the stage of stopping refrigeration, even if the evaporator 1001 is located in the air supply duct 901, the evaporator 1001 is in the non-working state, and the second fan is kept on, so as to accelerate the high-humidity air blown out from the humidifying assembly 100 and interact with the indoor air in the storage room, thereby reducing the probability of frosting caused by low temperature of the high-humidity air flow.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, it can be appreciated that the cover plate 104 is provided with a water receiving tank 111, and the water receiving tank 111 is located below the evaporator 1001 for collecting and guiding water flow. Specifically, the water receiving tank 111 gathers the collected condensed water/defrost water into a water flow to drain to the water storage member 102. Part of the first air outlet 108 extends to the water receiving groove 111, and when the water flow in the water receiving groove 111 flows to the first air outlet 108 positioned in the water receiving groove 111, the water flow falls from the first air outlet 108, so that the water storage piece 102 is supplemented with water. For example, when the refrigeration equipment is defrosting, the generated defrosting water falls to the water receiving groove 111 under the action of gravity, and the defrosting water returns to the water storage piece 102 along the water receiving groove 111 for recycling, so that the frequency of adding water by a user can be effectively reduced.

In other embodiments, a water filling port may be further disposed on the cover plate 104, where the water filling port is located at the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 111, and the water filling port is located above the water storage member 102, and the water flow in the water receiving tank 111 falls into the water storage member 102 from the water filling port to supplement the water storage member 102 with water.

By providing the water receiving tank 111 below the evaporator 1001, condensed water generated by the evaporator 1001 is effectively collected and guided, and then evaporated by the humidifying material using the water resources, thereby achieving the purpose of humidifying air. The design not only improves the utilization rate of water resources, but also reduces the frequency of water adding for users.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
