When the bottle sleeve 32 is in the sealed position, an adsorption force is generated between the second magnetic part 33 and the metal decorative part 321 to fix the bottle sleeve 32 in the sealed position.

[0081] As shown in Figure 5 , the bottle holder 32 is a columnar structure with one end open. A metal decorative piece 321 is provided at the open end of the bottle holder 32. The metal decorative piece 321 serves to clamp the bottle holder 32. At least a portion of the metal decorative piece 321 is made of metal, enhancing the aesthetics of the cup holder assembly. As shown in Figures 5 and 7 , a second magnetic element 33 is provided within the accommodating cavity 301, cooperating with the metal decorative piece 321. When the bottle holder 32 is in the sealed position, an attractive force is generated between the second magnetic element 33 and the metal decorative piece 321, securing the bottle holder 32 in the sealed position. This increases the stability of the bottle when placed, improving the reliability of the cup holder assembly.

[0082] Furthermore, a support platform 34 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 301. When the bottle sleeve 32 is fixed in the sealing position, the metal decorative part 321 is in contact with the upper surface of the support platform 34. A second magnetic part 33 is provided on one side of the lower surface of the support platform 34.

[0083] As shown in FIG7 , in an embodiment, a support platform 34 is provided on the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 301. When the bottle sleeve 32 is fixed in the sealed position, the metal decorative member 321 is in contact with the upper surface of the support platform 34. A plurality of second magnetic members 33 are provided on one side of the lower surface of the support platform 34. This generates an adsorption force between the second magnetic members 33 and the metal decorative member 321, thereby enhancing the fixing effect on the bottle sleeve 32. In another embodiment of the present application, the support platform 34 can be configured as a rubber pad to reduce vibration and noise for the bottle sleeve 32.

[0084] Furthermore, a clamping portion 35 is protruding from the side wall of the accommodating chamber 301. One end of the clamping portion 35 is connected to the side wall of the accommodating chamber 301, and one end of the clamping portion 35 extends along one side of the geometric center line in the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 301. As shown in Figures 5 and 7, this arrangement reduces vibration and noise, and improves the stability of the bottle when it is stored.

[0085] Furthermore, the clamping portion 35 is made of rubber, and the included angle β formed between the longitudinal geometric centerline of the clamping portion 35 and the axial geometric centerline of the accommodating cavity 301 is 45°≤β≤55°. This arrangement allows bottles of varying sizes to fit into the accommodating cavity 301, thereby increasing the applicability of the cup holder assembly.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, there are at least two clamping parts 35, and the hardness requirement of the clamping part 35 when it is set to rubber material is 75SHA. The angle formed by the geometric center line of the length direction of the clamping part 35 and the geometric center line of the axial direction of the accommodating cavity 301 is β, where β = 50°. This setting further improves the shock absorption ability of the clamping part 35.

[0087] Furthermore, the cabinet assembly 30 also includes an ejection mechanism 40, which includes an ejection member 41 and an elastic member 42. The first end of the ejection member 41 is connected to the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 301, and the second end of the ejection member 41 is extended toward the bottom side of the accommodating cavity 301, and the second end of the ejection member 41 can rotate around the second end of the ejection member 41; the elastic member 42 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 301, and the elastic member 42 is located on the side of the ejection member 41 facing the side wall of the accommodating cavity 301. The elastic member 42 is used to apply a pre-tightening force to the ejection member 41 so that the second end of the ejection member 41 has an ejection position protruding from the accommodating cavity 301, wherein, driven by the bottle body loaded into the accommodating cavity 301, the second end of the ejection member 41 can rotate around the first end of the elastic member 42 to an avoidance position. When the ejection member 41 is in the avoidance position, the elastic member 42 is in a compressed state.

[0088] As shown in FIG5 , the ejection mechanism 40 includes an ejector 41 and an elastic member 42. The first end of the ejector 41 is connected to the wall of the accommodating cavity 301. The elastic member 42 is disposed within the accommodating cavity 301. The elastic member 42 is configured to apply a preload force to the ejector 41, so that the second end of the ejector 41 is positioned protruding from the accommodating cavity 301. This allows the ejector 41 to exert a force on the bottle, preventing it from shaking within the accommodating cavity 301. Driven by a bottle loaded into the accommodating cavity 301, the second end of the ejector 41 can rotate about the first end of the elastic member 42 to a retracted position. When the ejector 41 is in the retracted position, the elastic member 42 is compressed. This arrangement allows the bottle to fit comfortably within the accommodating cavity 301, enhancing the stability of the bottle when placed.

[0089] In another embodiment of the present application, a rubber ring is provided in the accommodating chamber 301 along the circumference of the bottle body, and a rubber pad is provided on the side of the bottom of the accommodating chamber 301 close to the bottom of the bottle. This arrangement can alleviate the collision of the wine bottle with the inner wall and bottom of the accommodating chamber 301 during the process of loading or unloading, and play a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0090] Furthermore, the cabinet 31 is also provided with a heat exchange chamber 302, which is located on one side of the accommodating chamber 301. A heat exchanger 50 and a radiator 60 are provided in the heat exchange chamber 302. The heat exchanger 50 is used to generate energy to heat or cool the bottle body located in the accommodating chamber 301, and the radiator 60 is used to discharge the heat or cold in the heat exchange chamber 302 to the outside of the cabinet 31.

[0091] As shown in FIG5 , the cabinet 31 is further provided with a heat exchange chamber 302, located to one side of the accommodating chamber 301. A heat exchanger 50 and a radiator 60 are disposed within the heat exchange chamber 302. As shown in FIG8 , heat exchange chamber 302 is further provided with heat dissipation holes, allowing the radiator 60 to discharge heat or cold within the heat exchange chamber 302 to the exterior of the cabinet 31. As shown in FIG2 , the heat exchanger 50 and radiator 60 can be controlled by operating the control panel 29 to heat or cool the bottles within the accommodating chamber 301, thus adapting the cup holder assembly to a wider range of applications and enhancing its intelligence.

[0092] Furthermore, the cabinet assembly 30 includes a second driving part 36 and a rack 37. The second driving part 36 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 31; the length of the rack 37 is extended along the first direction, and the output end of the second driving part 36 is provided with a driving gear engaged with the rack 37. The second driving part 36 drives the driving gear to move the cabinet 31 to the storage position and the working position relative to the mounting part 10.

[0093] As shown in Figures 5 and 8, the cabinet assembly 30 includes a second drive unit 36. As shown in Figure 4, the cabinet assembly 30 also includes a rack 37. The length of the rack 37 is extended along the first direction. The output end of the second drive unit 36 ​​is provided with a drive gear engaged with the rack 37 (as shown in Figure 4), so that the cabinet 31 moves relative to the mounting portion 10 to a storage position (as shown in Figures 9 and 10) and a working position (as shown in Figure 11). When the second drive unit 36 ​​receives a shutdown signal, the second drive unit 36 ​​drives the drive gear to move after engaging with the rack 37. When the cabinet 31 moves from the working position to the storage position, it triggers a sensor (not shown in the figure) arranged in the mounting portion 10. The sensor sends a stop signal to stop the second drive unit 36 ​​from outputting power. When the second drive unit 36 ​​receives the operating signal, it drives the drive gear to mesh with the rack 37 and then move. When the cabinet 31 moves from the storage position to the operating position, it triggers a sensor (not shown) located within the mounting portion 10, which issues a stop signal, causing the second drive unit 36 ​​to stop outputting power. This arrangement enables the cabinet assembly 30 to move between the storage position and the operating position relative to the mounting portion 10, improving the operational stability of the cup holder assembly.
