Referring to fig. 3, it should be noted that a switch assembly is further provided in the inner cavity, the switch assembly includes a driver 400 and a movable plate 300, the driver 400 is connected with the movable plate 300, and the movable plate 300 can be driven to move by the driver 400 to realize switching operation, so that different working effects can be achieved.

Specifically, the movable plate 300 is driven to move by the driver 400, so that the movable plate 300 has three different states including a first state, a second state and a third state. The first state is that the movable plate 300 opens the first through hole 111 and closes the second through hole 121, at this time, the inner cavity of the housing 100 is communicated with the outside of the locker, and the inner cavity of the housing 100 is isolated from the inside of the locker. The second state is that the movable plate 300 opens the second through hole 121 and closes the first through hole 111, at this time, the inner cavity of the housing 100 is communicated with the inside of the locker, and the inner cavity is blocked from the outside of the locker. The third state is that the movable plate 300 simultaneously closes the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, so that the inner cavity of the housing 100 is isolated from the inside and the outside of the locker. It can be understood that the driver 400 can drive the movable plate 300 to move according to the actual application requirement, so as to control to switch different states.

For example, the movable plate 300 is movably installed in the inner cavity, and the driver 400 drives the movable plate 300 to move, and controls the opening and closing of the first and second through holes 111 and 121 by changing the position of the movable plate 300. When the movable plate 300 moves to the second through hole 121, the second through hole 121 can be closed, and the first through hole 111 is opened, so that the movable plate is in a first state; when the movable plate 300 moves to the first through hole 111, the first through hole 111 can be closed, and the second through hole 121 is opened, so that the movable plate is in a second state; the movable plate 300 may also simultaneously close the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121, achieving the third state.

It should be noted that, the dehumidifying module 200 is provided with a heating body 210 and a drying material, the drying material is a material that can be regenerated by heating, and the heating body 210 is used for heating the drying material. The drying material can adsorb moisture in the air, so that the air humidity is reduced; when the heating temperature reaches the regeneration temperature of the drying material, the drying material can release the adsorbed moisture, thereby recovering the dehumidification capability of the drying material, and realizing the cyclic dehumidification. The drying material adopted in the embodiment can be a material such as a molecular sieve, silica gel and the like, the cost of the drying material is not limited to one type, and the drying material can also be a combination of different materials, and the adsorption is a physical change process, so that the regeneration can be realized when the heating temperature reaches the regeneration temperature, and the adsorption capacity is recovered, and the details are not repeated.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the dehumidifying module 200 includes a case 220, a heating body 210 and a drying material (not shown in the drawings) are disposed in the case 220, and a plurality of third through holes 221 are formed in the case 220. Taking molecular sieve as an example for illustration, the molecular sieve may be substantially spherical or cylindrical particles, and the molecular sieve is filled in the box 220, so that the molecular sieve can surround the heating body 210, and thus the heating body 210 can heat the molecular sieve; the size of the third through hole 221 can meet the requirement that the molecular sieve is limited in the box body 220, so that the molecular sieve cannot leak out of the box body 220, and the molecular sieve can be in contact with the air in the inner cavity through the third through hole 221, thereby the molecular sieve can realize moisture absorption and moisture removal regeneration.

Referring to fig. 4, the third through holes 221 are elongated and spaced apart along the length direction of the case 220, so that the contact area between the molecular sieve and air can be increased, which is advantageous for improving the moisture absorption and regeneration efficiency. The case 220 may be provided with a detachable bottom plate 230 for loading the drying material and the heating body 210, a third through hole 221 is provided on the bottom plate 230, and the dehumidifying module 200 may be connected with the housing 100 through the bottom plate 230, so that the dehumidifying module 200 may be fixed in the inner cavity. It should be noted that, the weight of the drying material loaded on the box 220 may be set according to the actual use requirement, so as to meet the dehumidification requirement, for example, the larger the space of the cabinet is, the larger the weight of the drying material is needed, in the embodiment, the weight range of the drying material loaded on the box 220 may be 50g-5000g, and the box 220 with different sizes may be selected according to different weight requirements.

It should be noted that, the heating body 210 is used to heat the drying material, so that the drying material can be regenerated, in the embodiment, the heating body 210 may be a heating element such as a heating wire or a heating tube, according to the characteristics of the drying material, the heating bodies 210 with different temperatures may be configured, the heating temperature range of the heating body 210 is 100 ℃ to 250 ℃, for example, the drying material is a molecular sieve, and the temperature of the heating molecular sieve may be 200 ℃ to 250 ℃, so that the molecular sieve can be fully regenerated, thereby being beneficial to improving the regeneration efficiency.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, two boxes 220 are disposed in the inner cavity, the drying material and the heating body 210 are respectively disposed in the two boxes 220, the two boxes 220 are disposed at intervals along the height direction of the housing 100, and the drying material in the two boxes 220 can be in contact with air in either the first state or the second state. In the embodiment, the height of each box body 220 is set to be 20-35 mm, the thickness of the whole dehumidifying module 200 is 40-60 mm, the occupied space is small, and the installation is more flexible. In order to sufficiently regenerate the dry material, three or more cartridges 220 may be provided, without further limitation.

Describing the states of the dehumidifying module 200 and the movable plate 300 in combination, when the dehumidifying module is started, the movable plate 300 is switched to the first state by the driver 400 after heating and regenerating the drying material, at this time, the inner cavity is communicated with the outside of the cabinet body, and the heating body 210 in each box body 220 is electrified to heat the drying material, so that the moisture absorbed by the drying material can be evaporated and discharged to the outside along the first through hole 111; after heating for a period of time, the drying material can be fully regenerated, then heating is stopped, the movable plate 300 is driven to be switched to a second state, at the moment, the inner cavity is communicated with the inside of the cabinet body, the drying material is contacted with air in the cabinet body, and moisture in the air is absorbed, so that the aim of dehumidification is fulfilled, and the air humidity in the cabinet body is reduced. It can be appreciated that when the humidity in the cabinet is high, the movable plate 300 can be controlled to switch between the first state and the second state according to the actual use requirement, so that dehumidification can be performed circularly, and a better dehumidification effect can be achieved.

It should be noted that, the humidity may be reduced to a desired level according to the actual situation, so that the humidity in the cabinet body may be kept within a certain humidity range. Specifically, the user can set a target humidity value, for example, the humidity sensor can be used to monitor the air humidity in the cabinet in real time during dehumidification, when the air humidity in the cabinet is reduced to the target humidity value, the movable plate 300 can be driven to switch to the third state, at this time, the dehumidification module 200 is isolated from the outside and the inside of the cabinet, that is, the drying material is not contacted with the air outside the shell 100, the heating body 210 stops heating, the drying material does not need to absorb moisture, and does not need to be heated and regenerated, so that the humidity in the cabinet can be kept in the required humidity range, the drying material is also isolated from contacting with the air outside the cabinet, the drying material can be kept to have water absorption, the energy consumption caused by frequent heating of the heating body 210 is reduced, the service life of the drying material is prolonged, the drying material is more energy-saving, and the practicability is higher.

In addition, it can be understood that the dehumidifying device 1000 of the embodiment controls the dehumidification and regeneration of the dry material by switching different working states, and does not need to rely on a fan or other components to drive, so that static dehumidification is realized, control is easier to realize, and the cost is relatively low.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the first and second shell portions 110 and 120 are generally square in shape, and the first and second shell portions 110 and 120 are mated, and may be coupled by screws, adhesion, or the like. When installed, the housing 100 is vertically assembled to the locker such that the first shell portion 110 is positioned at the outside of the cabinet and the second shell portion 120 is positioned at the inside of the cabinet. The height of the housing 100 may be understood as the height of the first or second housing portion 110 or 120.

Wherein, along the height direction of the housing 100, a first through hole 111 is respectively formed at the upper part and the lower part of the first shell part 110, a second through hole 121 is respectively formed at the upper part and the lower part of the second shell part 120, and the first through holes 111 at the upper part and the lower part are communicated with the inner cavity, and can be also understood as an outer upper hole 1111 and an outer lower hole 1112; the upper and lower second through holes 121 are in communication with the lumen, and can also be understood as an inboard upper hole 1211 and an inboard lower hole 1212. It can be appreciated that in the first state, the movable plate 300 closes the inner upper hole 1211 and the inner lower hole 1212, and the outer upper hole 1111 and the outer lower hole 1112 are both communicated with the inner cavity to form the first channel 112, so that the evaporated water vapor can be discharged to the outside of the cabinet through the first channel 112 during regeneration of the drying material; in the second state, the movable plate 300 closes the outer upper hole 1111 and the outer lower hole 1112, and at this time, the inner upper hole 1211 and the inner lower hole 1212 are both communicated with the inner cavity to form the second channel 122, so that the drying material can contact with the air inside the cabinet through the second channel 122 to adsorb the moisture of the air.

It should be noted that, in the first state and the second state, each box 220 contacts with air in the corresponding channel, so as to meet the requirements of efficient moisture absorption and moisture removal regeneration. In the third state, the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 are closed, and at this time, the first channel 112 and the second channel 122 are opened, so that the drying material is enclosed in the inner cavity, does not contact with the air of the outside, and the heating body 210 is not electrically heated, so that the drying material stops absorbing and discharging moisture, thereby maintaining the adsorption capacity of the drying material.

In addition, it can be understood that the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 121 adopt structures that are arranged vertically separately, that is, the first channel 112 and the second channel 122 extend along the height direction, under the action of gravity, air can be accelerated to flow along the first channel 112 in the process of dehumidifying and regenerating, air can be accelerated to flow along the second channel 122 in the process of moisture absorption, so that air can be contacted with the drying material in each box 220, moisture absorption and moisture removal of the drying material can be accelerated, no fan driving is needed, and the structure is practical and reliable, not only the structure is simplified, but also the production cost is reduced. And when the heating body 210 heats and regenerates the drying material, the temperature difference is formed between the inner cavity and the outside, so that heat convection can be formed in the first channel 112, the flow speed of air and air is further accelerated under the action of the heat convection, and the dehumidifying and regenerating efficiency is higher.

It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 1, the outer upper hole 1111 and the outer lower hole 1112 are both in a strip shape, the outer upper hole 1111 is disposed on the upper end surface of the first shell portion 110, the outer lower hole 1112 is disposed on the lower end surface of the first shell portion 110, the outer upper hole 1111 and the outer lower hole 1112 can be understood as openings at the upper end and the lower end of the first channel 112, and air can enter the inner cavity through the outer upper hole 1111 and be discharged from the outer lower hole 1112, so that the air flow can contact with the dry material in each of the boxes 220. The outer upper holes 1111 and the outer lower holes 1112 are respectively provided in plurality and spaced apart along the length direction of the first shell portion 110, thereby increasing the contact area of the first passage 112 with the outside of the housing 100, which is advantageous for improving the dehumidifying efficiency. As shown in fig. 2, the inner upper hole 1211 and the inner lower hole 1212 are also stripe-shaped, and reference may be made to the structures of the outer upper hole 1111 and the outer lower hole 1112 in the above embodiment for specific forms, which are not described herein.

Referring to fig. 3 and 5, in some embodiments, two movable plates 300 are provided in the inner cavity, the two movable plates 300 being a first movable plate 310 and a second movable plate 320, respectively, wherein the first movable plate 310 is provided at an upper portion of the inner cavity, the second movable plate 320 is provided at a lower portion of the inner cavity, and the dehumidifying module 200 is located between the first movable plate 310 and the second movable plate 320.
