Description

Liquid storage box, automatic liquid supplementing system, air conditioning device and refrigerator Technical Field The invention relates to the field of preservation and storage, in particular to a liquid storage box, an automatic liquid supplementing system, an air conditioning device and a refrigerator. Background The modified atmosphere preservation technology is increasingly used as an advanced technology for effectively prolonging the shelf life of foods by adjusting the components of the ambient gas, and therefore, a refrigerating and freezing device with the function is also favored in the market. The requirements of the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping environment are different for different types of food materials. For example, in a high-concentration oxygen environment, the respiration of food materials such as fruits and vegetables can be accelerated, so that the content of organic matters is reduced, and nutrients are lost, so that the food materials are more suitable for being stored in a low-oxygen fresh-keeping environment. In contrast, for food materials such as meat, the low concentration oxygen environment may affect the color and mouthfeel, so they need to be stored in a high oxygen fresh-keeping environment to maintain optimal quality. Existing air conditioning devices are generally constructed to include a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte filled therebetween. These devices contact the air in the space through the cathode, causing the oxygen to undergo a reduction reaction at the cathode, specifically of the formula O 2+2H2O+4e-→4OH-. At the same time, the anode is subjected to oxidation reaction to generate oxygen, and the reaction formula is 4OH -→O2+2H2O+4e-. In the practical application process, the electrolyte in the air conditioning device gradually decreases along with the continuous progress of the electrochemical reaction. When the electrolyte is reduced to a certain extent, not only the efficiency of the electrochemical reaction is affected, but even the reaction may not be performed. Therefore, timely replenishment of electrolyte becomes a key to maintaining normal operation of the air conditioning device. In the prior art, the fluid infusion is realized by adopting power transmission or purely manual operation, wherein the cost of the mode of realizing fluid infusion by power transmission is higher, and the manual fluid infusion mode operation needs manual excessive participation, so that the interactive experience is poor. In view of the foregoing, there is a need for an improved solution to the above-mentioned problems. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art, and provides a liquid storage box which is specifically designed as follows. A liquid storage box comprises a box body, wherein a liquid storage space and a balance airway which are mutually communicated are arranged in the box body; The liquid supplementing port is arranged on the box body and is communicated with the liquid storage space and the outside of the box body; the air holes are formed in the box body and are communicated with the balance air passage and the outside of the box body; The balance air passage is provided with a first end communicated with the air hole and a second end communicated with the liquid storage space; The box body is provided with a liquid outlet state with the liquid supplementing opening facing downwards and a liquid supplementing state with the liquid supplementing opening facing upwards, in the liquid outlet state, a first highest liquid level line of the liquid storage space is not higher than the air hole, and in the liquid supplementing state, a second highest liquid level line of the liquid storage space is not higher than the second end of the balance air channel. Further, a connecting rib for at least partially separating the liquid storage space from the balance air passage is connected in the box body, and the liquid supplementing port and the air hole are respectively positioned on two opposite sides of the connecting rib. The box body is further provided with a first wall, a second wall opposite to the first wall and a side wall surrounding between the first wall and the second wall, the first wall, the second wall and the side wall are surrounded to form an inner cavity of the box body, the connecting ribs extend from the second wall towards the direction of the first wall, and the connecting ribs and the side wall are surrounded to form a channel communicated with the air hole. Further, the fluid supplementing port is arranged on the first wall, and the air hole is arranged on the second wall.
