The lower side of the turntable 702 is connected to a second gear disk 705, which meshes with the first gear disk 703. The output end of the reduction motor 704 is connected to the first gear disk 703 for transmission.

[0032] The purpose is to drive the first gear disk 703 to rotate through the geared motor 704, so that the first gear disk 703 drives the turntable 702 to rotate through the second gear disk 705, thereby driving the wine on the turntable 702 to rotate and improve the wine display effect.

[0033] To facilitate the retrieval of wine from the turntable 702, in this embodiment, preferably, a door control switch is provided on the front side of the cabinet 1. The door control switch is electrically connected to the main controller. The purpose is that when the glass door is opened, the door control switch opens, and the main controller controls the reduction motor 704 to stop driving, thereby stopping the turntable 702 from rotating. The door control switch can be an infrared sensor switch, which opens or closes according to the displacement of the glass door. When the glass door is closed, the wine on the turntable 702 rotates automatically; when the glass door is opened, the wine on the turntable 702 stops rotating, making it convenient to retrieve.

[0034] To improve the display effect, in this embodiment, preferably, a spotlight 8 is provided on the upper side of the fixed base 701, and four spotlights 8 are arranged at the four outer corners of the turntable 702.

[0035] In order to improve the display effect of the wine inside the cabinet 6, in this embodiment, preferably, a vertical light strip 9 is provided on the rear edge of the interior of the cabinet 6.

[0036] In order to facilitate the diversity of item storage, in this embodiment, preferably, the bottom of the middle cabinet 6 is provided with a drawer 10, the purpose of which is to store items such as cigars through the drawer 10, thereby improving the diversity of item storage.

[0037] To facilitate users in viewing the temperature inside the cabinet 1, in this embodiment, preferably, a temperature display 11 is provided on the front side of the drawer 10. The temperature display 11 is electrically connected to the air outlet temperature probe 206. The air outlet temperature probe 206 detects the air outlet temperature and then displays the detected temperature value on the temperature display 11, making it convenient for users to view the temperature inside the cabinet 1.

[0038] To improve temperature control accuracy, in this embodiment, preferably, the constant temperature component 2 includes a flow fan, a housing 201, and a return air temperature and humidity sensor 202. The housing 201 has a return air channel 203 and an outlet air channel 204 inside. A semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 is provided between the return air channel 203 and the outlet air channel 204. The flow fan is located in the outlet air channel 204, and an outlet air temperature probe 206 is provided between it and the semiconductor cooling and heating module 205. The return air temperature and humidity sensor 202 is located in the return air channel 203. The return air channel 203 and the outlet air channel 204 are respectively connected to the interior of the cabinet 1. The semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 is connected to the main controller via RS485 communication. The semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 is a temperature control device based on the Peltier effect, which achieves cooling or heating functions by changing the direction of its current.

[0039] The purpose is to drive the air inside the cabinet 1 into the return air channel 203 and out through the outlet air channel 204 through the flow fan, thereby achieving air circulation. When the air inside the cabinet 1 enters the return air channel 203, the return air temperature and humidity sensor 202 monitors the current air temperature inside the cabinet 1. Then, the main controller controls the semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 to cool or heat according to the set constant temperature. For example, when the return air temperature and humidity sensor 202 detects that the current air temperature inside the cabinet 1 is greater than the set constant temperature, the main controller controls the semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 to cool. When the return air temperature and humidity sensor 202 detects that the current air temperature inside the cabinet 1 is less than the set constant temperature, the main controller controls the semiconductor cooling and heating module 205 to heat. After being cooled or heated, the air is discharged back into the cabinet 1 through the outlet air channel 204. When the air passes through the outlet air channel 204, the outlet air temperature probe 206 detects the outlet air temperature to determine whether the outlet air temperature has reached the set constant temperature, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control.

[0040] To facilitate users' search for wines, this embodiment preferably includes a touch screen display. The touch screen display is electrically connected to the main controller. Specifically, the touch screen display is connected to the main controller via HDMI and Universal Serial Bus (USB).

The touch screen display can be installed on the cabinet 1 or set up separately.

[0041] To facilitate users' search for wines, in this embodiment, preferably, the network interface of the main controller is connected to a wireless communication module. The purpose is to enable mobile terminals to communicate with the wireless communication module via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and then interact with the main controller through a mobile APP, thereby improving the convenience of users searching for wines.

[0042] To facilitate support for each bottle of wine and enhance its display effect, in this embodiment, preferably, each of the two pillar lamps 5 has an inclined light-emitting surface 12 on its opposite sides. The purpose is to form a stable V-shaped support surface through the two inclined light-emitting surfaces 12 of the two pillar lamps 5. The V-shaped support surface supports the wine bottle to prevent it from rolling or sliding, thereby improving the stability of the wine bottle placement. Moreover, it can be applied to wine bottles of different diameters (such as Bordeaux bottles and Burgundy bottles), ensuring that various bottle shapes are placed stably. The pillar lamps 5 can emit light at an angle from the inclined light-emitting surface 12, so that the two beams of light emitted by the two pillar lamps 5 converge on the wine bottle, thereby enhancing the display effect of each bottle of wine.

[0043] To improve the display effect of each bottle of wine, in this embodiment, preferably, each column lamp 5 includes a columnar profile 501, a lampshade 502, and an LED light strip 503. The lampshade 502 is disposed on the inclined light-emitting surface 12, and the LED light strip 503 is disposed in the inner cavity of the columnar profile 501 and on the inner side of the lampshade 502. The purpose is to allow the light energy emitted by the LED light strip 503 to pass through the inclined lampshade 502, so that the two beams of inclined light energy emitted by the two column lamps 5 converge on the wine bottle, thereby improving the display effect of each bottle of wine.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
