technical field

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

Background technique

The wine cabinet is a cabinet specially used to store wine. It uses the refrigeration system in the cabinet to achieve a constant temperature and humidity environment inside the cabinet to achieve the best storage effect for wine. During the winemaking process, in order to better play antibacterial and anti-oxidative effects, it will be vulcanized. During daily storage, sulfide will be slowly released into the air, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will form an odor and destroy the internal storage environment of the wine cabinet.

Activated carbon is usually used in high-end wine cabinets to absorb impurities and harmful substances in the air to maintain the cleanliness of the air in the cabinet. However, the traditional use of activated carbon to adsorb impurities in the air has the following disadvantages: 1) The adsorption efficiency of activated carbon is low; 2) In traditional wine cabinets, the activated carbon box assembly for storing activated carbon is usually placed between the inner tank and the back shell , That is, the pre-embedded box for installing the activated carbon box assembly is set between the inner tank and the back shell, which is difficult to produce; 3) The adsorption capacity of activated carbon will decrease after being used for a period of time. Time needs to be replaced with new activated carbon, but the general activated carbon cartridge assembly is arranged on the rear side of the evaporator or air duct, which is extremely difficult to replace.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a new wine cabinet to solve the above problems.
