Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine cabinet shelf technology, and more specifically to a hybrid shelf for wine cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of alcoholic beverage with high requirements for storage conditions, the quality and flavor of red wine are closely related to the storage environment. Currently, most wine cabinets on the market use a single-layer horizontal shelf design, with the wine bottles placed sideways. This design has certain limitations. Existing designs often require users to remove the wine bottles to view the information on the bottles, which is inconvenient in practical use, especially when quickly finding a specific wine. Single-layer shelves can typically only hold a limited number of wine bottles per layer and require a large width, resulting in a large overall size that is inconvenient for home or commercial spaces. The shelves also lack stability: due to the weight of wine bottles, traditional shelves are prone to deformation due to uneven weight distribution, reducing their lifespan. To address these problems in existing technologies, developing a hybrid shelf design with higher space utilization, a more stable structure, and convenient display and retrieval of wine has become an important research topic. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a mixed shelf for a wine cabinet.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A mixed shelf for a wine cabinet includes a mixed shelf for storing bottled wine in the wine cabinet. The mixed shelf has a stepped structure, forming two layers with a height difference, including: an upper placement area for wine bottles to be placed horizontally, the bottom of the upper placement area having a suspended or hollow structure; and a lower placement area for wine bottles to be placed horizontally, the neck of the wine bottles in the lower placement area extending naturally to below the bottom of the upper placement area; the mixed shelf is arranged with the left side higher than the right side or vice versa when viewed from the front of the wine cabinet.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the upper placement area is provided with an upper support frame, and the lower placement area is provided with a lower support frame. Multiple support strips are connected to the upper and lower support frames. The support strips are bent to form a stepped structure. The upper and lower support frames are connected by the support strips to form the upper and lower placement areas.

[0007] In the preferred embodiment, the multiple support bars are spaced apart and connected to the upper support frame and the lower support frame. The portions of the support bars on the lower support frame are all straight structures. Wine bottles in the lower placement area can be placed through two support bars, and the neck of the wine bottle can extend to the lower part of the upper placement area through the gap between the two support bars.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the portion of the support bar located on the upper support frame has multiple arc-shaped recesses. The corresponding recesses on the multiple support bars can be used for positioning the wine bottle, allowing the wine bottle to be placed with the bottom facing forward or backward.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting strip is provided on the support strip. The connecting strip is obliquely arranged, with one end connected to the portion of the support strip located in the upper support frame and the other end connected to the portion of the support strip located in the lower support frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the upper support frame and the lower support frame are respectively provided with handrails on their front and rear sides.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the upper support frame has multiple support ribs on the side away from the lower support frame, and the lower support frame has multiple support ribs on the side away from the upper support frame. Each support rib has a shaft hole for mounting a pulley.

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] Featuring a stepped, double-layer design, the upper and lower storage areas work together. The necks of wine bottles in the lower area extend to the bottom of the upper area, effectively utilizing the space between the two layers and significantly increasing the wine cabinet's storage capacity. The bottles in the lower area are directly visible on the cabinet door, allowing for easy viewing of the wine type and label without removing them, enhancing the display effect. The upper storage area allows bottles to be placed with the bottom or neck facing forward, making efficient use of the cabinet's internal vertical space. The upper storage area includes a curved recess to stabilize the bottles, ensuring visual appeal and display when the bottom or neck is facing forward. The hybrid shelving uses a bent support structure to create a stepped layout, connecting both layers for greater overall stability. Connecting strips are added to the support strips, with an angled design to enhance structural support and prevent deformation due to uneven load distribution. The front and rear sides feature handrails to prevent wine bottles from slipping off when the shelves are pushed or pulled, while also facilitating user operation and improving ease of use. The double-layer design of the hybrid shelf reduces width requirements compared to a single-layer design, making the wine cabinet more compact, easier to place, and more aesthetically pleasing, suitable for various home and commercial environments. Through these innovative designs, this new hybrid shelf design makes efficient use of the wine cabinet's internal space, increasing storage capacity and display effect, while providing a more stable and convenient user experience. It overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and has broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please refer to a mixed shelf design for a wine cabinet. Figure 1-3This includes a mixed shelf 100 installed in a wine cabinet for storing bottled red wine. Bottled red wine generally refers to wine packaged in glass bottles (commonly 750 ml standard size). These glass bottles have a cylindrical body and a relatively long cylindrical neck connecting to the body. Generally, the wine cabinet in this embodiment is a piece of furniture or appliance specifically designed for storing and displaying red wine, aiming to provide an ideal storage environment to maintain its quality and flavor. The main functions of the wine cabinet include controlling temperature, humidity, and preventing the influence of external factors such as ultraviolet radiation on the wine. The model of the wine cabinet in this embodiment is not limited. The mixed shelf 100 can be installed in the wine cabinet to place red wine, optimizing the storage environment. The mixed shelf 100 has a stepped structure. The stepped hybrid shelf 100 forms two layers with a height difference, including an upper placement area 110 for horizontally placed wine bottles, with a suspended or hollowed-out structure at the bottom; and a lower placement area 120 for horizontally placed wine bottles, with the bottle necks naturally extending below the bottom of the upper placement area 110. Viewed from the front of the wine cabinet, the hybrid shelf 100 has a left-high, right-low layout, with the upper placement area 110 on the left and the lower placement area 120 on the right. In other embodiments, the hybrid shelf 100 may have a left-low, right-high layout. The accompanying drawings only show views of the hybrid shelf; the model and specifications of the wine cabinet are not shown. The size of the hybrid shelf can be changed according to the wine cabinet to be used. Wine bottles in the upper placement area 110 are placed horizontally with the bottom or neck facing forward, while wine bottles in the lower placement area 120 have their necks facing left. The necks of the wine bottles in this area extend downwards to the upper placement area 110, maximizing the efficient use of space. The number of wine bottles that can be placed in the two areas is not limited to this embodiment. Furthermore, the wine bottles are not shown in the accompanying drawings. The hybrid shelf 100 is compatible with both wine bottle placement methods. When the wine bottle at the front of the lower placement area 120 is placed horizontally, the bottle body can be exposed. At the cabinet door, it's easy to view the type or variety of wine without having to remove it, facilitating wine display. Compared to single-layer shelves where the sides of the wine bottles face forward, this invention adds an upper shelf 110 with the bottle neck or bottom facing forward, allowing for more wine storage. Some shelves on the market can hold two bottles side-by-side on each side, but these are wider, resulting in larger wine cabinets that are inconvenient to place. Overly wide shelves and heavy loads also make them more prone to deformation. This invention's hybrid shelf 100 makes efficient use of space, allows for flexible wine storage, facilitates easy observation of wine types, and has a reasonable layout. Wine cabinets can be designed to better accommodate the hybrid shelf 100 in terms of size and specifications, ensuring the wine cabinet itself is neither too wide nor too narrow, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and convenient placement.

[0023] Furthermore, the upper placement area 110 is provided with an upper support frame 111, and the lower placement area 120 is provided with a lower support frame 121. Multiple support bars 101 are connected to the upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121. The support bars 101 are bent to form a stepped structure. The upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121 are connected by the support bars 101 to form the upper placement area 110 and the lower placement area 120. The upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121 are rectangular frame structures of the same size, but their structure is not limited to this embodiment. The upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121 are horizontally arranged. The support bars 101 are welded to both the upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121. Each support bar 101 is connected from the left side of the upper support frame 111 and extends to the right side of the lower support frame 121. The stepped bending structure of the support bar 101 is as follows: the support bar 101 forms a vertically downward bending structure at the right side of the upper support frame 111. The support bridge 101 extends downward and connects to the left side of the lower support frame 121, and then bends back to the horizontally extending right side of the lower support frame 121. The two vertical bending structures make the connected upper support frame 111 and lower support frame 121 form a structure that is higher on the left and lower on the right. The double-layer structure of the mixed shelf 100 is also constituted by this. The structure of connecting the upper and lower layers with the same support bar 101 also makes the overall structure of the hybrid shelf 100 simpler, more beautiful, and easier to manufacture.

[0024] Furthermore, multiple support bars 101 are spaced apart and connected to the upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121. The portion of the support bar 101 on the lower support frame 121 is a straight structure. The wine bottle in the lower steel section 120 can be placed through two support bars 101, and the neck of the wine bottle can extend to the lower part of the upper placement area 110 through the gap between the two support bars 101. When the wine bottle is placed in the lower placement area 120, the curved surface of the bottle can be embedded in the two horizontally parallel support bars 101. The two support bars 101 support the bottle body at the same time, preventing the wine bottle from rolling back and forth and ensuring that the wine bottle is placed stably. Generally, the structure of two support bars 101 can accommodate one wine bottle. Taking the structure of four support bars 101 as an example, two wine bottles can be placed horizontally back and forth. Since the support bar 101 connects the two frames through a bending structure to form an upper and lower two-layer structure, there is no obstruction between the support bar 101 and the support bar 101 located between the bends. The neck of the wine bottle can extend to the left from the gap between the support bar 101 and the support bar 101 at the bend, thereby utilizing the space below the upper placement area 110.

[0025] Furthermore, the portion of the support bar 101 located on the upper support frame 111 forms multiple arc-shaped recesses 1011. These corresponding recesses 1011 on the support bars 101 can be used for positioning wine bottles, allowing them to be placed with the bottom facing forward or backward. The multiple support bars 101 distributed front and back simultaneously have corresponding recesses 1011, forming a rear-arc-shaped groove on the upper placement area 110. The curvature of the groove matches the curvature of a typical wine bottle, allowing the bottle to be embedded within it and preventing it from rolling sideways. This structure not only facilitates the placement of wine bottles with the bottom facing forward or backward, but also, due to the downward indentation of the support bars 101, allows for some utilization of the space below the upper placement area 110, reducing vertical space occupation and maximizing the number of mixed shelves 100 that can be installed in a wine cabinet of the same height.

[0026] Furthermore, a connecting strip 102 is provided on the support strip 101. The support strip 101 is obliquely positioned, with one end connecting to the portion of the support strip 101 located in the upper support frame 111 and the other end connecting to the portion of the support strip 101 located in the lower support frame 121. This obliquely positioned structure connecting the upper and lower parts of the support strip 101 provides stable support for the support strip, ensuring the stability of the mixed shelf 100 and preventing bending or deformation of the structure between the upper and lower layers. Handhold rails 103 are provided on the front and rear sides of the upper support frame 111 and the lower support frame 121, respectively. The handhold rails 103 can prevent the wine on the mixed shelf 100 from sliding out from the front and rear sides when the user pushes or pulls the shelf. Furthermore, when the user pulls out or pushes the mixed shelf 100 from the wine cabinet, they can use the handhold rails 103 to grip and push the mixed shelf 100, making it convenient to retrieve and place wine. Multiple support ribs 104 are provided on the side of the upper support frame 111 away from the lower support frame 121 and on the side of the lower support frame 121 away from the upper support frame 111, respectively. The support ribs 104 are provided with shaft holes 1041 for installing pulleys. Generally, horizontal parallel slide rails are provided on the left and right sides of the wine cabinet. The mixed shelf 100 can be placed on the slide rails by using the support of the support ribs 104. The slide rail connected to the left side of the mixed shelf 100 is one level higher than the slide rail on the right side. In other embodiments, pulleys can be installed on the support ribs 104 through the shaft holes 1041 to improve the smoothness of the mixed shelf 100 sliding in the wine cabinet.

[0027] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
