Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine cabinet technology, specifically a wine bottle rack for a wine cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Wine cabinets, as core furniture for storing and displaying wines, are widely used in various places such as family living rooms, dining rooms, commercial bars, and star-rated hotels. The wine bottle rack, as a core functional component of the wine cabinet, directly determines the safety of wine storage (such as preventing bottles from tipping over or being damaged by collisions), the convenience of daily access, and the aesthetic effect of wine display, thus having a decisive impact on the overall user experience of the wine cabinet. Currently, most mainstream wine cabinet bottle racks on the market adopt a fixed structure design. The core of this design involves layered, fixed shelves inside the wine cabinet, utilizing the resulting flat space to store the bottles. However, this fixed structure has significant drawbacks: when bottles are placed on fixed shelves high up in the wine cabinet, users need to use stools, ladders, or other auxiliary tools to retrieve them. This not only makes the process cumbersome but also poses a safety risk of instability and falls. This is especially problematic for the elderly and shorter individuals, as the fixed structure presents a high barrier to entry and may even lead to inefficient use of the high-space areas of the wine cabinet due to the inability to safely access bottles, severely impacting the overall performance of the wine cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a wine bottle rack for wine cabinets, enabling convenient and safe access to wine bottles at higher locations, and improving the versatility and safety of wine cabinet use.

[0004] A wine bottle rack for a wine cabinet includes an outer frame and an inner frame. The bottom of the outer frame has an opening, and the inner frame is slidably and vertically disposed inside the outer frame and can extend out from the opening. The front side of the outer frame has a display window, and the bottom edge of the rear side of the outer frame has a cover plate that covers the opening and can be opened downwards in a fan shape. A damping support is connected between the side wall of the outer frame and the cover plate. Shelves are provided in the inner frame to form a wine bottle rack, and a handle is provided at the bottom of the front side of the cover plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the damping support includes a base fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame, a rotary damper rotatably mounted on the base, a first support rod fixedly connected to the rotary damper, a second support rod hinged to the tail end of the first support rod, and a connecting block fixedly connected to the cover plate hinged to the tail end of the second support rod. The damping support provides damping force during the downward flipping opening and upward flipping closing of the cover plate, preventing excessive opening and closing speeds that could cause impact and ensuring smooth opening and closing. The hinged structure between the first and second support rods allows them to rotate around the hinge point, providing greater flexibility in the unfolding angle compared to a typical single-rod structure, giving the cover plate a wider range of angular movement.

[0006] Furthermore, a lifting slide rail connects the inner wall of the outer frame to the outer wall of the inner frame. The lifting slide rail provides precise guidance for the sliding and lifting of the inner frame, ensuring that the inner frame is stable and smooth during the lifting and lowering of the wine bottle at a height, avoiding jamming or tilting, and further improving the convenience and safety of picking up and placing wine bottles at height.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide rail is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover, and a damping slider is slidably connected to the guide rail. A connector is hinged to the damping slider and fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the back of the inner frame. During the opening and closing of the cover, the damping slider slides on the guide rail to match the opening and closing action of the cover, enhancing the linkage stability of the overall structure and ensuring that the wine bottle is also safe and stable during the retraction process.

[0008] Furthermore, a transparent panel covering the display window is installed on the front side of the outer frame. When the cover is closed, there is a gap between the front edge of the cover and the transparent panel. The transparent panel is made of a transparent material, such as tempered glass, which not only does not affect the observation of the wine bottles placed on the inner frame (including the upper shelves) through the display window, but also provides dust protection for the wine bottles.

[0009] Furthermore, a bottle holder is fixed to the shelf, with grooves for accommodating the bottles and elastic pads placed within these grooves. The grooves position the bottles, preventing them from sliding on the shelf, especially during the lifting and lowering of the bottles by the inner frame, thus avoiding displacement. The elastic pads, made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone, ensure close contact with the bottle surface after placement in the grooves, providing cushioning and protection. They also increase friction between the bottle and the grooves, further enhancing the stability of the bottle placement and ensuring safety during lifting, lowering, and retrieval.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the sliding and lifting cooperation of the outer frame and the inner frame, as well as the design of the bottom opening of the outer frame and the hinged cover, when it is necessary to take out the wine bottle on the upper shelf of the inner frame, the cover can be opened by the handle first, and then the inner frame can be slid down from the bottom opening of the outer frame to lower the upper shelf of the inner frame to a height that is easy for the user to take out. No auxiliary tools are needed, which solves the problems of cumbersome access and safety risks of existing fixed structures. It is especially suitable for the elderly and people with shorter stature, and significantly improves the convenience and universality of wine cabinet use. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The components include: outer frame 1, inner frame 2, cover plate 3, damping support 4, shelf 5, handle 6, base 7, rotation damper 8, first support rod 9, second support rod 10, lifting slide rail 11, guide slide rail 12, damping slider 13, connector 14, transparent plate 15, wine bottle holder 16, groove 17, and connecting block 18. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5A wine bottle rack for a wine cabinet includes an outer frame 1 and an inner frame 2. The bottom of the outer frame 1 has an opening. The inner frame 2 is slidably and vertically mounted inside the outer frame 1 and can extend out from the opening. The front side of the outer frame 1 has a display window. A cover plate 3, which covers the opening and can open downwards in a fan shape, is hinged to the bottom edge of the rear side of the outer frame 1. A damping support member 4 connects the side wall of the outer frame 1 and the cover plate 3. Shelves 5 are provided in the inner frame 2 to form a wine bottle rack. A handle 6 is provided at the bottom of the front side of the cover plate 3. Specifically, the outer frame 1 can adopt a ceiling-mounted structure such as an angle bracket.

[0020] In this embodiment, the damping support 4 includes a base 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 1, and a rotary damper 8 rotatably mounted on the base 7. A first support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the rotary damper 8, and a second support rod 10 is hinged to the tail end of the first support rod 9. A connecting block 18 fixedly connected to the tail end of the second support rod 10 is hinged to the tail end of the second support rod 10. The damping support 4 provides damping force during the downward flipping and upward flipping of the cover 3, preventing the cover 3 from opening and closing too quickly and causing impact, thus achieving smooth opening and closing of the cover. The hinge structure between the first support rod 9 and the second support rod 10 allows them to rotate around the hinge point. Compared with a general single-rod structure, the unfolding angle is more flexible, giving the cover 3 a larger range of angular movement.

[0021] In this embodiment, a lifting slide rail 11 connects the inner wall of the outer frame 1 and the outer wall of the inner frame 2. The lifting slide rail 11 can be a common drawer slide rail structure (preferably a slide rail with a self-locking function, which can automatically lock when the inner frame 2 is lowered to the target height to prevent accidental sliding). It is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the outer frame 1 to provide stable guidance for the lifting of the inner frame 2, ensuring that the inner frame 2 drives the wine bottles on the high shelf 5 to rise and fall smoothly, avoiding jamming or tilting, and further improving the convenience and safety of taking wine bottles out of the high shelf. The wine bottles can be lowered to an easy height without the need for tools.

[0022] In this embodiment, a guide rail 12 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover plate 3, a damping slider 13 is slidably connected to the guide rail 12, and a connector 14 is hinged to the damping slider 13 and fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the back of the inner frame 2. When the cover 3 is opened downwards, the inner frame 2 is pulled downwards through the connector 14, causing the inner frame 2 to slide downwards. At this time, the connector 14 will drive the damping slider 13 to slide along the length of the cover 3 on the guide rail 12. The damping slider 13 can generate damping force, further slowing down the sliding speed of the inner frame 2, so that the inner frame 2 can slowly lower the wine bottle at the retrieval height, avoiding the wine bottle shaking or colliding due to excessive descent. When the inner frame 2 is retracted upwards, the connector 14 pushes the damping slider 13 to slide in the opposite direction, which also realizes the smooth retraction of the inner frame 2, and at the same time drives the cover 3 to flip upwards and close smoothly. During the opening and closing of the cover 3, the damping slider 13 slides on the guide rail 12 to match the opening and closing action of the cover 3, enhances the linkage stability of the overall structure, and ensures that the wine bottle at the height is also safe and stable during the retraction process.

[0023] In this embodiment, a transparent panel 15 covering the display window is installed on the front side of the outer frame 1. After the cover 3 is closed, there is a gap between the front edge of the cover 3 and the transparent panel 15. The transparent panel 15 is made of a transparent material, such as tempered glass, which not only does not affect the observation of the wine bottles placed on the inner frame 2 (including the shelf 5 at the top) through the display window, but also provides dust protection for the wine bottles. The gap can prevent the cover 3 from colliding and rubbing with the transparent panel 15 when it is closed, protect the edges of the transparent panel 15 and the cover 3 from damage, and also provide a certain amount of space for the cover 3 to open and close, preventing the cover 3 from being unable to open and close normally due to dimensional errors.

[0024] In this embodiment, a bottle holder 16 is fixed on the shelf 5. The bottle holder 16 has a groove 17 for accommodating the bottle, and an elastic pad is provided in the groove 17. The groove 17 can position the bottle and prevent it from sliding on the shelf 5, especially during the process of the inner frame 2 lifting and lowering the bottle at a higher position, thus preventing the bottle from shifting. The elastic pad is made of elastic material, such as rubber or silicone, which can make close contact with the bottle surface after the bottle is placed in the groove 17, providing cushioning protection for the bottle. At the same time, it can also increase the friction between the bottle and the groove 17, further improving the stability of the bottle placement and ensuring the safety of the bottle at a higher position during lifting, lowering, and retrieval.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the cover plate 3 is opened by the handle 6. The cover plate 3 flips downward around its junction point. The damping support 4 provides resistance to make the cover plate 3 open smoothly. At the same time, the guide rail 12 on the cover plate 3 also flips with the cover plate 3. Since the damping slider 13 is restricted to slide on the guide rail 12, during the flipping of the cover plate 3, the guide rail 12 applies a traction force to the inner frame 2 through the damping slider 13 and the connecting piece 14, causing the inner frame 2 to slide downward. The inner frame 2 descends smoothly under the guidance of the lifting rail 11. When the cover plate 3 is opened to 90°, the damping slider 13 also slides to the end of the guide rail, and the inner frame 2 descends to the lowest height. Then, the wine bottle can be picked up and put down. After picking up and putting down the wine bottle, the shelf 5 at the bottom of the inner frame 2 is pushed upward. The inner frame 2 drives the connecting piece 14 to push the damping slider 13 to slide in the opposite direction. The damping slider 13 and the damping support 4 work together to make the inner frame 2 retract smoothly, and at the same time, drive the cover plate 3 to flip upward and close smoothly.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the sliding and lifting cooperation of the outer frame 1 and the inner frame 2, and the design of the bottom opening of the outer frame 1 and the hinged cover plate 3, when it is necessary to take out the wine bottle on the high shelf 5 of the inner frame 2, the cover plate 3 can be opened first by the handle 6, and then the inner frame 2 can be slid down from the bottom opening of the outer frame 1, so that the high shelf 5 of the inner frame 2 is lowered to a height that is easy for the user to take out without the need for auxiliary tools. This solves the problems of cumbersome use and safety risks of existing fixed structures, and is especially suitable for the elderly and people with shorter stature, significantly improving the convenience and universality of wine cabinet use.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
