Description

Wine cabinet

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of refrigeration devices, in particular to a wine cabinet.

Background

The wine cabinet is a cabinet body specially used for storing wine, and the inside of the cabinet body is enabled to achieve a constant temperature and constant humidity environment through a refrigerating system in the cabinet body, so that the optimal wine storage effect is achieved. In the process of brewing the wine, the wine can be vulcanized to better play a role in resisting bacteria and oxidization. In the daily storage process, sulfides can be slowly released into the air, and when the sulfides accumulate to a certain content, odor can be formed, so that the internal storage environment of the wine cabinet is damaged.

Activated carbon is generally used in high-grade wine cabinets to adsorb impurities and harmful substances in the air, so that the cleanliness of the air in the cabinet is maintained. However, the conventional adsorption of impurities in air using activated carbon has the following disadvantages: 1) The adsorption efficiency of the activated carbon is low; 2) In the traditional wine cabinet, an active carbon box component for storing active carbon is usually placed between an inner container and a back shell, namely, an embedded box for installing the active carbon box component is arranged between the inner container and the back shell, so that the production difficulty is high; 3) The adsorption capacity of activated carbon is reduced after a period of use, so that it is necessary to replace the activated carbon at intervals, but a general activated carbon cartridge assembly is disposed at the rear side of the evaporator or the air duct, which is extremely difficult to replace.

In view of the above, there is a need to provide a new wine cabinet to solve the above problems.
