Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of beverage refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a quick-freezing cabinet for wine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] Alcoholic beverages (such as spirits, baijiu, etc.) can achieve a better taste and flavor when consumed at specific low or even extremely low temperatures (such as -10℃ to -20℃). For this reason, bottle freezers specifically designed for rapidly cooling wine bottles have appeared on the market.

[0003] Common wine bottle freezers typically have a cooling station inside the cabinet. Inside the cooling station is a protective sleeve (usually made of flexible silicone or silicone composite material) to hold the wine bottles. A bracket is placed inside the protective sleeve to facilitate the insertion, upright support, and removal of the bottles. However, in existing technology, when bottles are frequently stored and retrieved, or when the cabinet vibrates, the hanging or supporting parts of the bracket are prone to localized concentrated pressure, friction, or even punctures on the relatively soft protective sleeve. This can lead to damage to the protective sleeve, air leakage, or seal failure, significantly shortening the lifespan of the equipment.

[0004] In addition, the way the isolation sleeve and bracket are fixed at the outlet of the cooling cylinder in the existing quick-freezing cabinet is often cumbersome and inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, making it difficult for users to operate when cleaning and replacing the isolation sleeve or bracket, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a wine bottle quick-freezing cabinet that can effectively prevent the bracket from puncturing or scratching the isolation sleeve, and can greatly improve the ease of disassembling and assembling the isolation sleeve and bracket, is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0006] Application content To reduce the risk of brackets puncturing or scratching the isolation sleeve and to improve the ease of disassembling and assembling the isolation sleeve, this application provides a wine bottle quick-freezing cabinet.

[0007] This application provides a quick-freezing cabinet for wine bottles, which adopts the following technical solution: A quick-freezing cabinet for wine bottles includes a cabinet body and a bracket for supporting wine bottles. The cabinet body is provided with at least one station cooling cylinder. An isolation sleeve is provided inside the station cooling cylinder. The isolation sleeve extends into the station cooling cylinder, and the opening of the isolation sleeve covers the opening of the station cooling cylinder. The bracket includes a support portion located inside the workstation cooling cylinder and a suspension portion disposed at the opening of the workstation cooling cylinder. The suspension part is a continuous suspension structure; A positioning cover is hinged at the opening of the cooling cylinder at the work station. The positioning cover has a sleeve for simultaneously clamping the isolation sleeve and the clamping assembly of the suspension part.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the suspension part of the bracket uses a continuous suspension structure, eliminating sharp corners or protrusions and significantly reducing the risk of the bracket puncturing or scratching the isolation sleeve during hanging and load-bearing. Simultaneously, the clamping components on the positioning cover can simultaneously clamp the opening of the isolation sleeve and the suspension part of the bracket, achieving "one-click" synchronous positioning and fastening of the isolation sleeve and bracket at the outlet of the cooling cylinder. When disassembly for cleaning or maintenance is required, simply opening the positioning cover releases both the isolation sleeve and the bracket simultaneously, greatly simplifying the disassembly and assembly process and improving ease of disassembly and maintenance efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a positioning cylinder, and the positioning cover is provided with an insertion port corresponding to the station cooling cylinder. The positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the positioning cover. The outer periphery of the positioning cylinder is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced clamping plates. A clamping gap is formed between the positioning cylinder and the clamping plates for clamping the isolation sleeve opening and the suspension part.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning cylinder cooperates with the circumferentially spaced clamping plates to form an annular clamping gap between them. When the positioning cover is closed, this gap can apply a uniform and stable clamping force to the isolation sleeve opening and the suspension part from both the inside and outside, preventing the isolation sleeve opening from loosening and falling off, as well as the bracket from circumferentially deflecting or shifting, thus ensuring the stability of the clamping.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning cylinder is an annular cylindrical structure, the positioning cylinder is arranged around the insertion port, and the positioning cylinder is inserted into the opening of the station cooling cylinder; the edge of the insertion port is provided with a guide chamfer.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning cylinder is inserted into the cooling cylinder opening of the workstation, which enables the positioning cap to be positioned quickly and accurately. The guide chamfer on the edge of the insertion port plays a smooth guiding role when picking up and putting down the wine bottle, avoiding collision and jamming at the bottom of the wine bottle, and also preventing the edge of the wine bottle from scratching the positioning cap, thus improving the operating experience.

[0013] Furthermore, the suspension part is integrally bent from wire, and a smooth transition surface is formed on the side that contacts the isolation sheath; the suspension part includes an arc-shaped hanging section for hanging at the opening of the workstation cooling cylinder and a folded-back section that folds back towards the side away from the isolation sheath.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the suspension part is integrally bent from wire, which is simple and low-cost in terms of processing technology; the smooth transition surface ensures that there are no sharp edges when in contact with the isolation sleeve, thus protecting the isolation sleeve to the greatest extent; the arc hook section can fit the arc contour of the cooling cylinder opening at the work station, and the fold-back section forms a self-locking hook effect, which greatly enhances the load-bearing capacity and hook stability of the suspension part.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the cabinet is hinged with a flip-open top cover, which is used to cover or expose the positioning cover.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the top cover can be flipped closed when not in use, which can prevent dust and keep the temperature warm, effectively reducing the loss of cold air in the cooling cylinder of the work station and reducing the operating energy consumption of the blast freezer; when in use, it can be flipped open for easy storage and retrieval of wine bottles.

[0017] Furthermore, the cabinet is divided into a refrigeration compartment and a cooling compartment, and the workstation cooling cylinder is located in the cooling compartment; the refrigeration compartment is equipped with a compressor, a condenser and a heat dissipation fan, and the compressor, the condenser and the workstation cooling cylinder are connected by refrigerant pipes to form a refrigeration cycle loop.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cabinet is divided into a refrigeration compartment and a cooling compartment, which realizes the physical isolation between the heat-generating components (compressor, condenser, etc.) and the refrigeration station (cooling cylinder), avoids heat source interference with the heat transfer of the cooling compartment, and significantly improves the refrigeration efficiency and cooling speed of the quick-freezing cabinet.

[0019] Furthermore, several shock-absorbing pads are fixedly installed on the bottom plate of the refrigeration compartment, and the compressor is supported and installed on the shock-absorbing pads.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the shock-absorbing pad can effectively absorb the severe vibrations generated during compressor operation, reduce overall operating noise, and protect the refrigerant pipe connections from fatigue cracking or refrigerant leakage due to long-term vibration.

[0021] Furthermore, a partition is provided between the refrigeration chamber and the cooling chamber, and the refrigerant pipe is arranged through the partition. The refrigerant pipe includes an evaporator pipe section that is wound and coiled on the outer periphery of the station cooling cylinder.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the partition plays a good role in heat insulation; the evaporator section is wound on the outer periphery of the station cooling cylinder, realizing 360-degree all-round direct heat transfer, which greatly increases the heat exchange area, enabling the wine bottles in the station cooling cylinder to achieve rapid cooling and uniform quick freezing.

[0023] Furthermore, the outer side of the workstation cooling cylinder is covered with an insulating shell, and the evaporation tube section is embedded between the insulating shell and the outer wall of the workstation cooling cylinder.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the insulation shell completely covers the evaporator section and the station cooling cylinder, preventing the cold energy of the evaporator from being lost into the cooling chamber unnecessarily, locking in the cold energy, and further improving the cooling efficiency; at the same time, it avoids condensation or frost on the outer wall of the cabinet.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Excellent protection and long service life of the sheath: The bracket suspension part adopts a continuous suspension structure and the wire is bent to form a smooth transition surface, which completely eliminates sharp corners and sharp edges, avoids the bracket from puncturing or scratching the flexible isolation sheath, and significantly extends the service life of the isolation sheath. 2. Extremely efficient and convenient disassembly and assembly: Through the clamping components on the positioning cover (the gap formed by the positioning cylinder and the clamping plate), the isolation sleeve opening and the bracket suspension part are simultaneously clamped and fixed in one stop and disassembled with one click, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process of cleaning and replacing the sleeve. 3. Rapid cooling and high energy efficiency: The design adopts a partitioned layout of refrigeration and cooling chambers, combined with the design of evaporator sections surrounding the cooling cylinder at the work station and embedded in the heat-insulating shell, resulting in minimal cold loss and a large heat exchange area, thus achieving rapid freezing of wine bottles. 4. Smooth and low-noise operation: The compressor is equipped with shock-absorbing pads, which effectively reduce the noise and vibration during operation and improve the reliability of the whole machine.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This application discloses a wine bottle quick-freezing cabinet, including a cabinet body 1. At least one cooling station 2 is provided on the cabinet body 1 for placing and rapidly cooling wine bottles. In this embodiment, the cooling station 2 can be a single unit, or multiple units can be spaced apart along the length or width of the cabinet body 1 to simultaneously quick-freeze multiple bottles of wine. For ease of explanation, the following description uses two cooling station 2 within the cabinet body 1 as an example, but this is not intended to limit the number of stations.

[0033] The cabinet 1 can be a box-like structure. The upper part of the cabinet 1 forms an operating area for storing and retrieving wine bottles. The opening of the workstation cooling cylinder 2 is set upwards, allowing users to place wine bottles into the workstation cooling cylinder 2 from the top of the cabinet 1. A top cover 27 is hinged to the top of the cabinet 1, and the top cover 27 can be flipped open or closed relative to the cabinet 1. When the top cover 27 is closed, it covers the area where the workstation cooling cylinder 2 is located, thereby reducing heat loss and also preventing dust and foreign objects from entering. When the top cover 27 is open, the opening of the workstation cooling cylinder 2 is exposed, making it easy for users to put in or take out wine bottles.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 An isolation sleeve 3 is installed inside the cooling cylinder 2 to isolate the wine bottle from the inner wall of the cooling cylinder 2. The isolation sleeve 3 can be made of flexible silicone, rubber, food-grade elastic material, or silicone composite material to form a flexible buffer when the wine bottle is placed in and reduce hard contact between the wine bottle and the metal cooling cylinder. The isolation sleeve 3 has a bag-like or cylindrical structure. The lower part of the isolation sleeve 3 extends into the cooling cylinder 2, and the upper end of the isolation sleeve 3 forms a sleeve opening 26. The sleeve opening 26 is folded outward and covers the opening of the cooling cylinder 2. By covering the opening of the cylinder with the sleeve opening 26, the opening of the cooling cylinder 2 can be prevented from directly contacting the wine bottle or the bracket 4, while improving the positioning stability of the isolation sleeve 3 inside the cooling cylinder 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cooling cylinder 2 at the work station is equipped with a bracket 4 for supporting wine bottles. The bracket 4 includes a support part 5 located inside the cooling cylinder 2 and a suspension part 6 located at the opening of the cooling cylinder 2. The support part 5 supports the body or bottom of the wine bottle, allowing the wine bottle to stand stably upright inside the cooling cylinder 2. The support part 5 may include several vertically extending support rods 7 and bottom support rings 8 connected to the lower ends of the support rods 7. The support rods 7 are spaced apart around the circumference of the wine bottle, and the bottom support rings 8 support the bottom of the wine bottle. The upper ends of the support rods 7 are connected to the suspension part 6, so that the entire bracket 4 can be hung at the opening of the cooling cylinder 2 via the suspension part 6.

[0036] The suspension part 6 is a continuous suspension structure. A continuous suspension structure means that the position where the suspension part 6 contacts or is adjacent to the isolation sleeve 3 does not form a sharp break, protrusion, or edge, but rather a continuous, smooth supporting edge. Therefore, when the bracket 4 supports the wine bottle and transfers the load to the opening of the cooling cylinder 2 at the work station, the suspension part 6 will not exert localized sharp pressure on the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3, and it is less likely to scratch or puncture the isolation sleeve 3 during the loading and unloading process of the bracket 4.

[0037] Specifically, the suspension part 6 can be integrally bent from a metal wire, preferably with a circular or nearly circular cross-section. A smooth transition surface is formed on the side of the suspension part 6 that contacts the isolation sleeve 3. The suspension part 6 includes an arc-shaped hook section 9 for hanging at the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2 and a fold-back section 10 that folds back towards the side away from the isolation sleeve 3. The arc-shaped hook section 9 extends circumferentially along the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2 and conforms to the contour of the opening; the fold-back section 10 folds back downwards from the arc-shaped hook section 9, giving the suspension part 6 a structure similar to a rolled edge or hook. Because the fold-back section 10 folds back towards the side away from the isolation sleeve 3, the free end of the suspension part 6 will not face the isolation sleeve 3, thereby further reducing the risk of the free end piercing the isolation sleeve 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, the suspension part 6 can form an annular frame, and the multiple support rods 7 of the support part 5 are respectively connected to the lower side of the annular frame. The suspension part 6 can also be formed by bending a wire and welding, riveting or sleeve-fixing the ends to form a closed ring structure to avoid exposed ends; or the end of the suspension part 6 is set away from the isolation sleeve 3 and is ground, covered or rounded to ensure the smoothness of the contact position with the isolation sleeve 3.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A positioning cover 11 is hinged at the opening of the workstation cooling cylinder 2. The positioning cover 11 is used to simultaneously limit and clamp the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4. The positioning cover 11 can be hinged to the mounting base around the cabinet 1 or the workstation cooling cylinder 2 via hinges, pivots, or hinge ears, allowing the positioning cover 11 to flip between the closed and open positions. When the positioning cover 11 is in the closed position, it presses against or fastens to the opening of the workstation cooling cylinder 2; when the positioning cover 11 is in the open position, the isolation sleeve 3 and the bracket 4 can be removed from the workstation cooling cylinder 2.

[0040] The positioning cover 11 is equipped with a clamping assembly for simultaneously clamping the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4. With this structure, when the positioning cover 11 is closed, the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4 can be pressed and positioned together; when the positioning cover 11 is opened, the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4 are simultaneously released from constraint, allowing the user to remove the bracket 4 and the isolation sleeve 3 separately or as a whole, thus facilitating cleaning, replacement, and maintenance.

[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The clamping assembly includes a positioning cylinder 12. The positioning cover 11 has an insertion port 13 corresponding to the station cooling cylinder 2. The insertion port 13 penetrates the positioning cover 11, allowing the wine bottle to pass through the positioning cover 11 and enter the station cooling cylinder 2. The positioning cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the positioning cover 11 and surrounds the insertion port 13. The positioning cylinder 12 can be integrally formed with the positioning cover 11, or it can be fixed to the bottom surface of the positioning cover 11 by welding, screw connection, snap-fit, or adhesive bonding.

[0042] The positioning cylinder 12 has an annular cylindrical structure, and its outer diameter is adapted to the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2. When the positioning cover 11 is closed, the positioning cylinder 12 can be inserted into or partially inserted into the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2, achieving insertion and positioning between the positioning cover 11 and the station cooling cylinder 2. This insertion fit can reduce the shaking or displacement of the positioning cover 11 during use, keeping the insertion port 13 coaxial or substantially coaxial with the station cooling cylinder 2, thereby facilitating the smooth insertion of the wine bottle into the station cooling cylinder 2.

[0043] The bottom surface of the positioning cover 11, located radially outward of the positioning cylinder 12, is provided with several circumferentially spaced clamping plates 14. The clamping plates 14 can be arranged radially outward of the positioning cylinder 12, forming a clamping gap 15 between the clamping plates 14 and the positioning cylinder 12. The clamping gap 15 is used to accommodate and clamp the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4. When the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 is turned outward to cover the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2, and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4 is hung at the opening, the positioning cover 11 is flipped to close it. The positioning cylinder 12 is inserted downward into the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2, with the clamping plates 14 located outside or above the opening. The opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 are clamped within the clamping gap 15 between the positioning cylinder 12 and the clamping plates 14. Therefore, the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 is less likely to fall off from the opening, and the bracket 4 is less likely to float, deflect, or shake.

[0044] Preferably, multiple clamping plates 14 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the positioning cylinder 12. Multiple clamping plates 14 can provide clamping force at multiple positions along the circumference of the cylinder opening, ensuring more uniform force on the opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and preventing deformation, tearing, or excessive local compression of the isolation sleeve 3 due to single-point clamping. The side of the clamping plate 14 facing the positioning cylinder 12 can be configured as an arc surface or a rounded corner structure to reduce pressure damage to the isolation sleeve 3 during clamping. The clamping plates 14 can also be made of plastic, metal springs, or composite materials with a certain degree of elasticity to generate elastic preload during clamping.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 The insertion port 13 has a guide chamfer 16 on its edge. The guide chamfer 16 can be located on the upper edge of the insertion port 13, or it can be located on both the upper and lower edges of the insertion port 13. The guide chamfer 16 is used to guide the bottom or body of the bottle when it is inserted, preventing the bottle from colliding hard with or getting stuck on the edge of the positioning cap 11. The guide chamfer 16 can also reduce the scratching of the edge of the insertion port 13 on the bottle label, bottle body, or isolation sleeve 3, improving safety and smoothness of operation.

[0046] Reference Figure 7 The cabinet 1 is internally divided into a refrigeration compartment 17 and a cooling compartment 18. The workstation cooling cylinder 2 is located within the cooling compartment 18, while the refrigeration compartment 17 is equipped with a compressor 19, a condenser 20, and a cooling fan 21. The compressor 19, condenser 20, and workstation cooling cylinder 2 are connected via refrigerant pipes 22 to form a refrigeration cycle. After being compressed in the compressor 19, the refrigerant enters the condenser 20 for exothermic condensation, and then passes through a throttling device into the evaporator section located on the outer periphery of the workstation cooling cylinder 2 for heat absorption and evaporation. This process removes heat from the workstation cooling cylinder 2 and the bottles inside, achieving rapid cooling of the bottles.

[0047] A partition 23 is provided between the refrigeration chamber 17 and the cooling chamber 18 to separate the area where the heat-generating components are located from the area where the cooling components are located. The compressor 19, condenser 20, and cooling fan 21 generate heat during operation. Separating the refrigeration chamber 17 and the cooling chamber 18 by the partition 23 reduces heat transfer from the refrigeration chamber 17 to the cooling chamber 18, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cooling cylinder 2 within the cooling chamber 18. Refrigerant pipes 22 pass through the partition 23. The partition 23 can have through-holes for the refrigerant pipes 22 to pass through. These through-holes can be filled with insulation material, sealant, or a sealing sleeve to reduce cross-contamination of hot and cold air and prevent condensate from entering the refrigeration chamber 17.

[0048] Reference Figure 7The refrigerant pipe 22 includes an evaporator section wound around the outer periphery of the station cooling cylinder 2. The evaporator section can be spirally wound along the height of the station cooling cylinder 2, or it can be arranged in multiple loops around the outer wall of the station cooling cylinder 2. The evaporator section is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the station cooling cylinder 2 or connected via a heat-conducting medium to improve the efficiency of heat transfer. The station cooling cylinder 2 is preferably made of a metal material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, stainless steel, or copper alloy. After the low-temperature refrigerant in the evaporator section evaporates and absorbs heat, it can rapidly reduce the temperature of the station cooling cylinder 2, and the low-temperature environment surrounding the station cooling cylinder 2, the isolation sleeve 3, and the bracket 4 can rapidly cool the wine bottle.

[0049] The workstation cooling cylinder 2 is covered by an insulated outer shell 24, and the evaporator tubes are embedded between the insulated outer shell 24 and the outer wall of the workstation cooling cylinder 2. The insulated outer shell 24 can be made of polyurethane foam, rubber and plastic insulation material, vacuum insulation material, or other materials with low thermal conductivity. By covering the workstation cooling cylinder 2 and the evaporator tubes with the insulated outer shell 24, on the one hand, the loss of cold energy to non-target areas in the cooling chamber 18 can be reduced, improving energy efficiency; on the other hand, it can reduce condensation and frost formation inside or outside the cabinet 1, making the equipment operation more stable and reliable.

[0050] Several vibration damping pads 25 are fixedly installed on the bottom plate of the refrigeration compartment 17, and the compressor 19 is supported and installed on the vibration damping pads 25. The vibration damping pads 25 can be made of rubber, silicone, or elastic composite materials. The vibration generated by the compressor 19 during operation can be absorbed and buffered by the vibration damping pads 25, thereby reducing the overall noise of the machine and reducing the transmission of vibration to the refrigerant pipes 22, the station cooling cylinder 2, and the bracket 4. This not only improves the user experience but also reduces the risk of fatigue damage to the refrigerant pipe connections 22 due to long-term vibration.

[0051] It is worth noting that, see Figure 8 The support rod 7 can also be slidably fitted with slide blocks 28, and a sub-support 29 is hinged between two opposing slide blocks 28. The sub-support 29 can be an arc-shaped support, a ring-shaped support, or a horizontal support frame, and is used to assist in supporting the body or area near the bottom of the bottle. By adjusting the height of the slide blocks 28 on the support rod 7, the height of the sub-support 29 relative to the support part 5 can be changed, thereby adapting to bottles of different heights and shapes.

[0052] The slide 28 is provided with a locking mechanism for locking the slide 28. In this embodiment, the locking mechanism adopts a locking bolt 30 structure. A threaded hole is provided through one side of the slide 28, and the locking bolt 30 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. One end of the locking bolt 30 faces the side wall of the support rod 7, and the other end of the locking bolt 30 can be provided with a screw head for manual tightening by the user.

[0053] When the height of the sub-support 29 needs to be adjusted, the user loosens the locking bolt 30, releasing or reducing the clamping force of the locking bolt 30 on the side wall of the support rod 7. At this time, the slide 28 can slide up and down along the support rod 7. After the slide 28 moves to the target height, the user tightens the locking bolt 30, so that one end of the locking bolt 30 presses against the side wall of the support rod 7. A friction lock is formed between the locking bolt 30 and the support rod 7, thereby restricting the slide 28 from continuing to slide along the support rod 7. This structure is easy to manufacture, intuitive to operate, and can achieve stable adjustment of the height of the sub-support 29.

[0054] See Figure 9 A rotational reset structure is provided between the sub-support 29 and the slide 28. A limiting groove 31 is formed in the side wall of the slide 28, and a limiting block 32 is correspondingly provided on one side of the end of the sub-support 29, with the limiting block 32 slidably disposed within the limiting groove 31. A hinge groove 33 is formed at the end of the sub-support 29, and a rotating shaft 34 is provided on one side of the slide 28, with one end of the rotating shaft 34 extending into the hinge groove 33. A torsion spring 35 is provided within the hinge groove 33, with one end of the torsion spring 35 fixedly connected to the shaft wall of the rotating shaft 34, and the other end of the torsion spring 35 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hinge groove 33.

[0055] The sub-support 29 can rotate relative to the slide 28 around the rotation axis 34. When the bottle is inserted into the cooling cylinder 2 and contacts the sub-support 29, the sub-support 29 can rotate appropriately according to the shape of the bottle to improve the adaptability of the support position of the sub-support 29. After the bottle is removed, the torsion spring 35 can apply a reset force to the sub-support 29, so that the sub-support 29 automatically returns to its initial position. The limiting block 32 and the limiting groove 31 cooperate to limit the rotation angle of the sub-support 29, prevent the sub-support 29 from overturning, and thus ensure the stability of the bottle when it is placed.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that, in order to facilitate the pre-expansion of the sub-carrier 29 before it is placed in the cooling station, the groove wall of the limiting groove 31 can be provided with a fixed connection of limiting protrusions. The limiting protrusions are used to keep the sub-carrier 29 in an expanded state, thereby improving the convenience of placing the wine bottle.

[0057] The usage process of a wine bottle quick-freezing cabinet according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, the user first opens the top cover 27 to expose the positioning cover 11. If it is necessary to install the isolation sleeve 3 and the bracket 4, first place the isolation sleeve 3 into the station cooling cylinder 2, so that the lower part of the isolation sleeve 3 extends into the station cooling cylinder 2, and the sleeve opening 26 is folded outward and covers the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2; then place the bracket 4 into the isolation sleeve 3, so that the supporting part 5 is located inside the station cooling cylinder 2, and the hanging part 6 is hung at the opening. Then, flip the positioning cover 11 to the closed position, insert the positioning cylinder part 12 into the opening of the station cooling cylinder 2, and the clamping plate 14 cooperates with the positioning cylinder part 12, so that the sleeve opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the hanging part 6 are clamped together in the clamping gap 15. At this time, both the isolation sleeve 3 and the bracket 4 are reliably positioned.

[0058] When placing the wine bottle, the user inserts it through the insertion port 13. The guide chamfer 16 guides the bottom or body of the bottle, allowing it to smoothly enter the isolation sleeve 3 and be supported by the support part 5 of the bracket 4. After starting the quick-freezing cabinet, the refrigeration cycle loop operates, and the compressor 19 drives the refrigerant circulation. The evaporator section absorbs heat from the station cooling cylinder 2, thereby rapidly reducing the temperature of the station cooling cylinder 2 and the area around the wine bottle, achieving rapid cooling of the wine bottle.

[0059] When the isolation sleeve 3 and bracket 4 need to be cleaned or replaced, the user opens the top cover 27 and flips open the positioning cover 11, releasing the clamping of the positioning cylinder 12 and the clamping plate 14 from the sleeve opening 26 and the suspension part 6. Then, the bracket 4 can be taken out upwards, and the isolation sleeve 3 can be taken out of the station cooling cylinder 2, or the bracket 4 and the isolation sleeve 3 can be taken out together. Because the suspension part 6 adopts a continuous suspension structure, and the contact point with the isolation sleeve 3 is a smooth transition surface, the isolation sleeve 3 is less likely to be scratched, punctured, or locally cracked during the removal, placement, and use of the bracket 4, thereby extending the service life of the isolation sleeve 3.

[0060] In other embodiments, the positioning cover 11 can be provided for each cooling cylinder 2 at each workstation, or it can be set as an integrated long strip cover or a whole plate structure. The integrated positioning cover 11 has multiple insertion ports 13, and a positioning cylinder part 12 and a retaining plate 14 are provided around each insertion port 13. The top cover 27 can also be made of transparent material or have a partially transparent structure so that the user can observe the placement status of the wine bottle. The number, arrangement and size of the cooling cylinders 2 at each workstation can be adjusted according to different wine bottle specifications and usage scenarios.

[0061] In summary, this application reduces the risk of the bracket 4 puncturing or scratching the isolation sleeve 3 by setting the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4 as a continuous suspension structure, so that there are no sharp corners or edges at the contact point between the suspension part 6 and the isolation sleeve 3. At the same time, the positioning gap 15 formed by the positioning cylinder part 12 and the clamping plate 14 on the positioning cover 11 realizes the synchronous clamping and positioning of the sleeve opening 26 of the isolation sleeve 3 and the suspension part 6 of the bracket 4, which significantly improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the isolation sleeve 3 and the bracket 4. Combined with the evaporation tube section and the insulation shell 24 structure on the outer periphery of the station cooling cylinder 2, the wine bottle can be cooled quickly and evenly, improving the use effect and operating efficiency of the quick-freezing cabinet.

[0062] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
