It is conceivable that the space-saving rotating wine cabinet also includes other functional modules, such as fasteners, which are techniques well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] The outer wine cabinet 10 includes an outer cabinet body 11, a first placement area 12 disposed above the outer cabinet body 11, three first storage areas 13 disposed inside the outer cabinet body 11, and a support area 14 disposed below the outer cabinet body 11.

[0022] The outer cabinet 11 is hollow and includes a first outer wall 111, two side walls 112 respectively disposed at one end of the first outer wall 111, multiple first inner walls 113 spaced apart on the side walls 112, a first top plate 114 connecting the first outer wall 111, the side walls 112 and the first inner walls 113, and a first bottom plate 115 connecting the first outer wall 111 and the side walls 112. The outer contour of the outer cabinet 11 has a notch for nesting the inner wine cabinet 20, so that the outer cabinet 11 can fit snugly with the inner wine cabinet 20 to form a complete contour. The first inner walls 113 face the first outer wall 111. In this embodiment, the outer cabinet 11 is L-shaped, and it can be imagined that the shape of the outer cabinet 11 is determined according to actual needs.

[0023] The first placement area 12 is formed by connecting the first top plate 114 with the first outer wall 111, the first inner wall 113, and the side wall 112. The first placement area 12 is used to place wine bottles. The height of the first top plate 114 is lower than the height of the first outer wall 111, the first inner wall 113, and the side wall 112, thereby forming a trough-shaped structure to accommodate the wine bottles and to prevent the wine bottles from falling.

[0024] The first storage area 13 is the storage space formed by two first storage panels 131 spaced apart within the outer cabinet 11. At least one access opening 132 is provided on the first outer wall 111 of the first storage area 13 with the first storage panels 131 to prevent bottles in the first storage area with the first base plate 115 from being kicked over. The access opening 132 is used to remove bottles from the outer wine cabinet 10 without opening the inner wine cabinet 20. The first storage area 13 with the first storage panels 131 is used to store commonly used beverage utensils. In the direction extending from the first outer wall 111, the access openings 132 are spaced apart from the first storage panels 131 at both ends. The first inner wall 113 is provided on the outer side of the first storage panels 131, and on the side facing the first placement area 12, the height of the first inner wall 113 is higher than the height of the first storage panels 131. The first storage area 13, which is provided with the first storage plate 131, is provided with at least one first guardrail 133, which is located above the first inner wall 113 to prevent the wine bottle from falling.

[0025] The support area 14 is formed by connecting the first base plate 115 with the first outer wall 111, the first inner wall 113, and the side wall 112. In the direction extending from the first outer wall 111, the first base plate 115 is spaced apart from the first outer wall 111, the side wall 112, and the first inner wall 113. Multiple support feet 141 are provided below the first base plate 115. The height of the support feet 141 is greater than the height of the support area 14, reducing the contact area between the outer wine cabinet 10 and the object supporting it, making the outer wine cabinet 10 easier to move.

[0026] The inner wine cabinet 20 includes an inner cabinet 21, a second placement area 22 disposed above the inner cabinet 21, two second storage areas 23 disposed inside the inner cabinet 21, and a sliding area 24 disposed below the inner cabinet 21.

[0027] The inner cabinet 21 is hollow and includes a second outer wall 211, a second inner wall 212 connecting the second outer wall 211, a second top plate 213 connecting the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212, and a second bottom plate 214 connecting the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212. The second inner wall 212 of the inner cabinet 21 is attached to the first inner wall 113 of the outer cabinet 11, and the shapes and sizes of their contact surfaces are the same.

[0028] The second placement area 22 is formed by connecting the second top plate 213 with the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212. The second placement area 22 is used to place wine bottles. The height of the second top plate 213 is lower than the height of the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212, thus forming a groove-shaped structure to accommodate the wine bottles. In this embodiment, the height of the second placement area 22 is the same as that of the first placement area 12.

[0029] The second storage area 23 is a storage space formed by a second storage board 23 within the inner cabinet 21. A second inner wall 212 is provided on the outer side of the second storage board 231. On the side facing the second placement area 22, the height of the second inner wall 212 is higher than the height of the second storage board 231. Each second storage area 23 is provided with at least one second guardrail 232, which is positioned above the second inner wall 212 and the second base plate 214.

[0030] The sliding area 24 is formed by connecting the second base plate 214 with the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212. In the direction extending from the first outer wall 111, the second base plate 214 is spaced from the second outer wall 211 and the second inner wall 212, so that a pulley 241 is provided below the second base plate 214. The pulley 241 is set at the same height as the support leg 141, so that the outer wine cabinet 10 and the inner wine cabinet 20 are flush. The pulley 241 is used to assist the movement of the inner wine cabinet 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, the hinge 30 is a hinge.

[0032] In use, without removing the bottles from the inner wine cabinet 20, the first inner wall 113 of the outer wine cabinet 10 is in contact with the second inner wall 212 of the inner wine cabinet 20. The outer wine cabinet 10 is used to store frequently used wine bottles. Bottles are retrieved through the access opening 132 provided on the first outer wall 111. When retrieving a bottle from the inner wine cabinet 20, the second inner wall 212 is positioned away from the first inner wall 113 by adjusting the hinge, leaving a gap between them to facilitate retrieving the bottle from the inner wine cabinet.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a space-saving rotatable wine cabinet with an outer wine cabinet 10, an inner wine cabinet 20, and a hinge 30 to achieve a rotatable fit, thus saving space. The outer cabinet 11 has a notch on its outer contour to accommodate the inner cabinet 21. The second inner wall 212 of the inner cabinet 21 is attached to the first inner wall 113 of the outer cabinet 11, with the attached sides having the same shape and size, allowing the outer cabinet 11 to fit snugly with the inner cabinet 21 to form a complete outline. The access opening 132 in the outer wine cabinet 10 allows the user to remove wine bottles from the outer wine cabinet 10 without opening the inner wine cabinet 20. The hinge 30 allows for two states: the outer wine cabinet 10 and the inner wine cabinet 20 can be in contact or out. When the inner wine cabinet 20 is not in use, it can be closed to the outer wine cabinet 10, achieving the goal of saving space.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present utility model are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
