In addition, the diameter of molecular groups in air is effectively reduced while the humidity of air flow in the curing box 10 is improved, the diameter of water molecules in air in the curing box 10 is smaller, and the water molecules are easy to uniformly diffuse into the curing box 10, so that the humidity in the curing box 10 is regulated more uniformly, and the curing effect can be improved.

The third sensor 56 is capable of sensing the humidity of the air processed by the dehumidifying box 91, and is mainly used for judging whether the adsorption capacity of the dehumidified objects in the dehumidifying box 91 is invalid. A specific judging method is that the difference between the humidity sensing values is judged to be twice at a preset time interval (for example, 60 s), and when the difference is smaller than a certain value (for example, 10 percent, the value depends on the precision of a humidity sensor), the water absorption characteristics of the dehumidified objects in the dehumidification box 91 are considered to be invalid, and the controller 41 controls the alarm to act so as to alarm and replace the dehumidified objects in the dehumidification box 91.

When the space in the inner cavity of the curing box 10 is large, the flow of the air flow in each inner wall and space is enhanced in order to ensure the uniformity of the temperature and humidity distribution in the entire curing box 10. In one embodiment, the maintenance storage device further includes a circulation fan 54.

In this way, the controller 41 controls the circulation fan 54 to operate, so that the air flow in the curing box 10 circulates and fills the entire curing box 10, which is beneficial to realizing relatively uniform relative humidity in the curing box 10.
Specifically, the second sensor 51 and the alarm are both electrically connected to the controller 41, the controller 41 receives the relative humidity sensed by the second sensor 51 at the second air outlet 521, and if the relative humidity change value at the preset time interval (for example, 60S) is less than the preset value (for example, 10%), the water box 811 is prompted to lack water or the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is in failure, at this time, the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is controlled to stop working, and the water source is replenished or the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is maintained, so that the staff can be timely reminded. If it is determined that the change in relative humidity for the preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is greater than the preset value, the humidifying fan 83 is turned on, and the humidified air flow is circulated into the entire curing box 10 by the humidifying fan 83 to reduce the relative humidity in the entire curing box 10.

Specifically, the first sensor 30 is a temperature and humidity probe.
Specifically, the second sensor 51 is a temperature and humidity probe, and the second sensor 51 can be used to obtain not only the relative humidity at the second air outlet 521, but also the ambient temperature at the second air outlet 521.
Specifically, the third sensor 56 is a temperature and humidity probe, and the third sensor 56 can not only obtain the relative humidity at the fourth air outlet 532, but also obtain the ambient temperature at the fourth air outlet 532.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, when the controller 41 determines that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is high (for example, the relative humidity is greater than 80%), the dehumidifying fan 92 is controlled to operate accordingly, the dehumidifying fan 92 pumps the air with high humidity in the curing box 10 into the dehumidifying box 91, and the dehumidifying box 91 dehumidifies and discharges the air into the curing box 10 to reduce the relative humidity in the curing box 10. Specifically, the dehumidifiers are dry particles, dry powders, etc., and may also be hydrophilic particles such as activated alumina spheres or molecular sieves, etc.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, further, the circulation fan 54 has an independent air inlet and an independent air outlet. The circulation fan 54 may be provided at the front end or the rear end of the dehumidifying system casing 53, which is not limited thereto. The circulation fan 54 is not controlled by the relative humidity parameters in the curing box 10, and always keeps constant pressure working normally, and the function of the circulation fan is to strengthen the flow of air in the inner cavity of the curing box 10. In the non-dehumidifying mode, the dehumidifying fan 92 does not work, so that the air flow in the curing box 10 does not pass through the dehumidified objects of the dehumidifying box 91, the humidity of the air flow in the curing box 10 does not change, and when the dehumidifying mode is started, the dehumidifying fan 92 works, and the air flow passes through the dehumidifying box 91, so that the relative humidity of the air flow is reduced, and the aim of changing the humidity is fulfilled. Further, the humidifying system cover 52 and the dehumidifying system cover 53 are plastic covers, and are fixed on the inner wall of the box 11 by using self-tapping screws or fastening structures, and the humidifying system cover 52 and the dehumidifying system cover 53 may be made of other materials or be fixed on the inner wall of the curing box 10 by other methods.
Referring to fig. 2, 12 and 13, further, a wind shielding plate 55 is disposed in the dehumidifying system cover 53, the wind shielding plate 55 divides the dehumidifying system cover 53 into two spaces, the dehumidifying box 91 and the dehumidifying fan 92 are disposed in one of the spaces, and the fourth air inlet 531 and the fourth air outlet 532 on the dehumidifying system cover 53 are communicated with the space. The circulation fan 54 is disposed in another space, and the dehumidifying system cover 53 is further provided with a fifth air inlet 533 and a fifth air outlet 534 which are communicated with the other space, and when the circulation fan 54 works, air flow in the curing box 10 enters through the fifth air inlet 533 and is discharged from the fifth air outlet 534, so that the air flow in the curing box 10 can be driven to circularly flow.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, a temperature and humidity control method for the curing storage device according to any one of the above embodiments includes the following steps:
acquiring the relative humidity and temperature in the curing box 10;
when the temperature and the relative humidity do not meet the preset range, the temperature in the curing box 10 is adjusted to reach the preset range, and then the relative humidity is adjusted to reach the preset range.
According to the temperature and humidity control method of the maintenance storage device, the temperature in the inner cavity of the box 11 and the relative humidity have correlation, namely, the temperature adjustment affects the humidity change, so that the temperature adjustment is performed in preference to the humidity control, namely, the temperature adjustment is finished first, the temperature in the inner cavity of the box 11 is controlled in a required temperature range (for example, 16-20 ℃), the temperature in the inner cavity of the box 11 meets the requirement, and then the humidity control is finished, so that the humidity adjustment (humidification/dehumidification) does not affect or affects the temperature in the box 11 minimally.
Further, adjusting the temperature in the curing box 10 to reach the preset range specifically includes the following steps:
s110, acquiring the temperature in the curing box 10;
s120, when the temperature in the curing box 10 is judged to be lower than a first set value, the temperature adjusting mechanism 20 is started to heat the curing box 10;
and S130, when the temperature in the curing box 10 is judged to be higher than the second set value, the temperature adjusting mechanism 20 is started to cool the curing box 10.
Taking the preset range of 16 ℃ to 20 ℃ as an example, one specific control embodiment includes the following steps:
The temperature T <15 ℃ or T < Tset (Tset is a temperature set value) in the curing box 10, and the TEC heating mode (heating and cooling are based on the cooling and heating of the inner cavity of the box 11) is started, namely, the polarity of the TEC voltage is controlled, so that the temperature regulating mechanism 20 supplies hot air to the inner cavity of the box 11.
According to the special requirements of cigar curing and uniform alcoholization temperature, the problem that the temperature fluctuation of the inner cavity of the box body 11 is large due to the heat concentration of the air outlet is avoided. Further, TEC operating voltage UTEC employs a small step-up control mode. Specifically, TEC initial voltage UTEC0 is set firstly, (UTEC0 is not less than 0V can be selected), UTEC is gradually increased in a linear manner according to temperature parameters acquired by a temperature sensor arranged at an air inlet, and the increasing rate is 1V/min-6V/min, for example.
There are two control modes at this time:
In the first control manner, UTEC is continuously increased from UTEC0, and in a working condition of a certain working voltage UTEC1≤UTECmax (TEC maximum working voltage, for example, 12V), if t=tset is met, the state of UTEC＝UTEC1 is continued until Tset is changed, and the curves of T, UTEC and time T are respectively shown in fig. 18 and 19;
The second control method, from UTEC0 to UTECmax, still cannot meet t=tset, at this time, the state of UTEC1＝UTECmax continues until the temperature t≡tset+Δt (Δt=1 to 2 ℃), and the PID control modes are adopted for UTEC and T until the dynamic balance of t≡tset is achieved, and the curves of T, UTEC and time T are shown in fig. 20 and 21, respectively.
When the temperature T in the box is more than 20 ℃ or T is more than Tset, a TEC refrigerating mode is started, namely, the polarity of TEC voltage is controlled to be opposite to that of a heating mode, so that the temperature regulating mechanism 20 can deliver cold air to the inner cavity of the box 11.
As shown in FIG. 22, in the temperature range of Tset-DeltaT to Tset+DeltaT, UTEC -T adopts a PID control mode, UTEC has a certain value UTEC1 between the minimum and maximum cooling capacities of TEC in the range of UTECmin～UTECmax, and when the corresponding cooling capacity and heat leakage capacity of TEC are equal, dynamic balance of cooling capacity and heat is realized, at this time, the temperature in the box is stabilized between Tset-DeltaT to Tset+DeltaT, preferably DeltaT=0.5-1 ℃, namely the temperature in the box is correspondingly controlled at the set temperature Tset + -0.5-Tset + -1 ℃.
For a particular type of use, such as a first initial set temperature of 18 ℃, the tank 11 is stabilized at 18 ℃ by the heating mode. When the temperature regulation system changes the polarity of positive and negative voltage from heating to cooling mode, the difference between 17 ℃ and 18 ℃ is smaller, so that temperature overshoot is usually caused, namely, after the full power cooling process of 18 ℃ is started, the temperature in the tank is delayed from the actual temperature due to the existence of thermal inertia of the temperature in the tank, the temperature in the final tank is always in full power cooling state, so that the temperature in the final tank is lower than 17 ℃, and the temperature regulation system starts to switch to heating mode according to the control program, so that the TEC is continuously switched between heating and cooling modes, temperature fluctuation in the tank is firstly caused, and secondly, the service life and stability of the TEC are reduced due to continuous change of internal stress due to continuous switching of the TEC. Therefore, in order to avoid the generation of the working conditions, a buffer control program is added when the temperature in the box is switched from the heating mode to the refrigerating mode, and one embodiment of the buffer control program is that after the positive and negative polarities of the TEC are switched, the initial working voltage is set to be a part of the full working voltage, such as 50% UTECmax, such as UTECmax =12V, UTEC0 =6V, and the buffer control program is stable for a period of time, such as 30 s-60S, so that the buffer change balance process is provided for the temperature field in the box, and then the TEC working voltage is adjusted to the maximum refrigerating state, namely the full working voltage state, thereby effectively solving the repeated switching problem of the heating-refrigerating mode, and prolonging the service life, the working reliability and the stability of the TEC.
An embodiment of the rotation speed control of the heat dissipation and cooling fan is that the second heat dissipation fan 25 preferably works at a constant voltage, and the working voltage is higher than 12V, and the heat dissipation and cooling fan is mainly used for guaranteeing the sufficient exchange of the air flow in the inner cavity of the box 11 and guaranteeing the uniform distribution of the temperature and the humidity of the inner cavity. For the first cooling fan 24 located outside the box 11, heat exchange, working noise and service life are taken into consideration, and a voltage transformation working mode is adopted, that is, the working voltage of the first cooling fan 24 is consistent with the working voltage of the TEC, and a mode of being connected with the TEC in parallel is preferably adopted. In the refrigeration mode, the TEC has high working voltage, so that the heat generation amount and the heat dissipation amount are large, therefore, the first cooling fan 24 works at a high rotating speed, namely, the heat exchange amount is large, the matching with the heat generation amount is realized, the TEC heat generation amount and conversion efficiency are also improved, otherwise, the low-voltage TEC corresponds to the low fan voltage, the noise is reduced and the service life of the first cooling fan 24 is prolonged while the heat exchange is matched. The same applies to the TEC heating mode, the working voltage of the TEC is high, the rotating speed of the first cooling fan 24 is high, the TEC generates more cold, and according to the conservation of energy, the corresponding TEC generates more heat, so that the heating efficiency is improved.
Further, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to reach the preset range specifically includes the following steps:
S210, acquiring the relative humidity in the curing box 10;
S220, when the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is judged to be lower than a first preset value, the atomization humidifying component 81 is started so that humidifying and atomizing water molecules enter the evaporation shell 821;
S230, turning off the humidifying component, turning on the humidifying fan 83 to perform secondary evaporation on the water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment and discharging the water molecules into the curing box 10. The first preset value is specifically, for example, 60%.
So, when needs carry out humidification, open atomizing humidification subassembly 81, atomizing humidification subassembly 81 sends into evaporation casing 821 through humidification air current output with the atomizing hydrone air current of humidification, with atomizing hydrone attached to the hydrone attached body, the hydrone attached body effect is in absorbing atomizing hydrone, blocks the direct inner chamber that gets into curing box 10 of atomizing hydrone. After the atomization and humidification assembly 81 stops working, the humidification fan 83 is started again, the air flow generated by the humidification fan 83 is utilized to carry out secondary evaporation on water molecules adsorbed on the water molecule attachment, and the water molecules are sent into the box along with the air flow generated by the humidification fan 83, so that the humidity in the box is improved, and the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is controlled to be 60% -70%.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, further, before turning on the atomizing and humidifying assembly 81, the method includes step S212 of acquiring the relative humidity in the humidification system housing 52, and recording the relative humidity as a first detection value;
after turning on the atomizing and humidifying assembly 81, and before turning off the humidifying assembly, the following steps are further included:
S222, when the atomization humidifying component 81 is started for a first preset working time, acquiring the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52, recording the relative humidity as a second detection value, and judging whether the relative humidity (the second detection value) in the humidifying system cover 52 is higher than a first internal setting value;
The first preset operating time is set according to the actual situation, and is not limited as to the humidifying capacity of the atomizing and humidifying module 81. The first internal value is, for example, 80%, and is not limited.
If the relative humidity in the humidification system cover 52 is higher than the first internal value, the process proceeds to step S230, and if the relative humidity in the humidification system cover 52 is lower than the first internal value, the process proceeds to step S224.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, further, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to reach the preset range further includes:
Step S224, the atomizing and humidifying assembly 81 continues to work for a second preset working time in a delayed mode, and the relative humidity in the humidifying system cover 52 is acquired again and is recorded as a third detection value;
wherein the second preset working time is 2S-4S, specifically 3S.
Step S225, a relative humidity change value in the humidification system cover 52 is obtained according to the third detection value and the first detection value;
step S226, it is determined whether the water tank 811 is deficient in water or the atomizing and humidifying assembly 81 is malfunctioning according to the relative humidity change value.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, specifically, if it is determined that the change value of the relative humidity at the preset time interval (e.g. 60S) is smaller than the preset value (e.g. 10%), the water tank 811 is prompted to lack water or the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is failed, and at this time, the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is controlled to stop working, and the water source is replenished or the atomizing and humidifying component 81 is maintained, so that the staff can be timely reminded. If it is determined that the change in relative humidity for the preset time interval (e.g., 60S) is greater than the preset value, the humidifying fan 83 is turned on, and the humidified air flow is circulated into the entire curing box 10 by the humidifying fan 83 to reduce the relative humidity in the entire curing box 10, and the process proceeds to step S212.
Referring to fig. 10 and 11, further, after step S230, the method further includes turning on the humidifying fan 83 for a third predetermined operation time, turning off, and returning to step S210. The third preset working time is, for example, 25S to 35S, specifically, for example, 30S.
Referring to fig. 2, 12 and 13, further, adjusting the humidity in the curing box 10 to reach the preset range includes turning on the dehumidifying fan 92 to increase the relative humidity in the curing box 10 when the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is determined to be higher than the second preset value. The second preset value is, for example, 75%, that is, when it is determined that the relative humidity in the curing box 10 is higher than 75%, the dehumidifying operation is performed to control the relative humidity in the curing box 10 to 60% -70%.
As the volume of the inner cavity of the curing box 10 increases and the second air outlet 521 of the humidification system cover 52, the fourth air outlet 532 of the dehumidification system cover 53 and the first sensor 30 have a position difference, when the humidification or dehumidification mode is started, the humidity in the curing box 10 will be dynamically distributed unevenly along with the change of the air flow in the inner cavity of the curing box 10, until the humidification or dehumidification mode is stopped for a certain time, the humidity in the curing box 10 will gradually tend to be uniformly and statically balanced, i.e. a time delay balancing process exists from the start of the humidification or dehumidification to the final static humidity balance distribution. The humidity that is finally required to be reached is the humidity that is finally statically balanced in the curing box 10, and therefore, it is necessary to accurately identify whether the humidity sensing value in the curing box 10 is a static balance value or a dynamic change value, so that the humidification and dehumidification modes are correctly operated. Based on this, further, the humidification method of the maintenance storage device further includes the steps of:
when the humidity in the inner cavity of the curing box 10 is greatly different from the set value, adopting a continuous humidifying or dehumidifying mode;
when the humidity value in the curing box 10 is close to (e.g., within 2%) to the set value, intermittent humidification or intermittent dehumidification is adopted, and a time-lapse equilibrium mode is adopted.
Specifically, if the humidification or dehumidification operation 5S, the balancing 30S, the re-humidification or dehumidification operation is repeated continuously, so that the humidity in the curing box 10 gradually reaches the set value.
In order to avoid humidity regulation overshoot when approaching the set humidity value, the dehumidification and humidification are caused to work alternately, namely, just humidification is completed, the humidity exceeds the set value, then the humidity regulation system is switched to a dehumidification mode again, the dehumidification humidity overshoot enters humidification again, humidification and dehumidification are caused to form vicious circle in the inner cavity of the box 11, and finally, water in the humidification water box 811 is exhausted, and the dehumidification adsorption substances are disabled. Based on this, further, the humidification method of the maintenance storage device further includes the steps of:
the upper and lower limit values of humidification and dehumidification are increased, namely, assuming that the humidity value is RHset, the humidification limit value is RHset-delta RH (the humidification is stopped from low humidity to the value, the upper limit value for starting humidification is set to be smaller than the upper limit value for starting humidification), the dehumidification limit value is RHset +delta RH (the dehumidification is stopped from high humidity to the value, the lower limit value for starting dehumidification is set to be larger than the lower limit value for starting dehumidification), the delta RH (the value is related to the required humidity control precision) is increased, the two different mode switching values of humidification and dehumidification are increased, and the risk of forming a dehumidification-humidification malignancy cycle is reduced.
Further, delay is increased when the two modes of dehumidification and humidification are switched, namely, the humidification or the dehumidification is switched to the other mode, the mode is stopped for a period of time (for example, 5 min) at first, whether the operation is switched is determined according to humidity parameters in the box, and whether the humidity in the maintenance box 10 is in a stable state is fully ensured, so that the problem of dehumidification and humidification vicious cycle is effectively solved.
