Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a wine cabinet housing according to one embodiment of the invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the dimensions of the wine cabinet housing in the radial direction are many times larger than in reality in order to clearly show the structure of the wine cabinet housing, and that the top view is merely schematic and not strictly to actual scale. As shown in fig. 1, the wine cabinet of the present invention has a hollow housing 30, and a wine storage space is defined in the housing 30. In one embodiment, the hollow housing 30 has a plurality of wine bottle holders 12 (see FIG. 2) inside. The bottle holder 12 may be secured circumferentially to an inner member of the circumferential side wall of the hollow housing. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the housing 30 may specifically include an outer shell layer 32, an insulation layer 34 inside the outer shell layer 32, and an internal support 40 disposed inside the insulation layer 34. The bottle holder 12 may be secured to the inner support frame 40.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of a wine cabinet according to one embodiment of the invention. (in this embodiment, the housing of the wine cabinet is omitted for ease of viewing the internal structure of the sake cabinet). As shown in fig. 2, the inner support 40 of an embodiment of the present invention may include an annular mounting base 2 and a plurality of support rods. The support bar has a top horizontal section 6 extending radially horizontally outwardly from the peripheral wall of the annular mounting base 2, and circumferential vertical sections 8 extending vertically downwardly from the top horizontal section 6, wherein each circumferential vertical section 8 is located in a cylindrical surface. To further increase the strength of the inner support 40, the inner support 40 may further comprise a plurality of annular bars 4 arranged on a cylindrical surface where the circumferential vertical sections 8 of the support bars are located. These ring rods 4 extend in the circumferential direction at different vertical heights on the cylindrical surface where the circumferential vertical sections 8 of the support rods are located and are fixedly connected to the circumferential vertical section 8 of each support rod at their crossing locations 10. In this embodiment, the bottle holder 12 may be fixed circumferentially at the intersection 10 of the annular bar 4 with the circumferential vertical section 8 of the support bar, see fig. 3. The mating straps, such as self-locking nylon straps, are particularly advantageous for securing the wine bottle holder 12. In alternative embodiments, other means of attachment are possible. In one embodiment, the bottle holders 12 are arranged in multiple layers in a vertical direction, with the bottle holders 12 of each layer being circumferentially spaced apart and secured at the intersection locations 10 of the inner support shelves 40. In the preferred embodiment, the bottle holders 12 of each layer are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction, and the vertical intervals between the bottle holders 12 of the adjacent two layers are equal. The internal space arrangement structure is beneficial to obtaining through-flow air flow from top to bottom in the wine cabinet and keeping the temperature of each layer of storage position in the wine cabinet consistent.

The wine cabinet of the embodiment of the invention can be a compression type refrigeration wine cabinet, and comprises an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, an expansion valve and the like. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2, the evaporator 16 is secured to the inner support frame 40 outside of the inner support frame 40 between the insulation 34 and the inner support frame 40. In a preferred embodiment, an evaporator well 35 may be provided on the insulation 34, with the evaporator 16 being provided at the evaporator well 35. The condenser 36 may be disposed outside of the outer shell 32. For example, a condenser cavity 38 may be provided in the outer shell 32, and the condenser 36 may be disposed in the condenser cavity 38, so that the condenser 36 does not protrude from the surface of the outer shell 32, and the condenser tube of the condenser 36 is prevented from being damaged by collision. The compressor 22 and expansion valve (not explicitly shown) in this embodiment may be disposed at the bottom of the cabinet, between the outer shell 32 and the insulation 34. The construction of the compressor and expansion valve is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein. In an alternative embodiment, the wine cabinet can also be a semiconductor refrigeration wine cabinet, which uses a semiconductor refrigeration sheet as a cold source. In one embodiment, the top wall of the housing 30 is provided with an access opening (not shown) for the passage of wine bottles. The shape and the size of the access opening can be matched with those of wine bottles to be stored. The top wall is provided with a hole cover which can translate or rotate or split the cover plate so as to cover/seal the access opening when the access operation is not performed. The housing 30 of the present invention may not be provided with a cabinet door, and communication between the existing wine space and the external environment is achieved only through the access port. Therefore, the wine storage space of the wine cabinet can be isolated from the external environment to the greatest extent, and the temperature and the humidity of the wine storage space of the wine cabinet can be kept.

In order to facilitate the taking and placing of wine bottles in the wine bottle holder 12, the wine cabinet of the embodiment of the invention further comprises a wine bottle taking and placing claw 24 and a wine bottle taking and placing movement device for receiving wine bottles from the access port and storing the wine bottles on the designated wine bottle holder 12 or taking the wine bottles from the designated wine bottle holder 12 and delivering the wine bottles to the access port. By the arrangement, the wine cabinet can only take and place wine bottles through the access opening, and the constant temperature environment in the wine cabinet is prevented from being damaged, so that the quality of other wines is not affected.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the wine bottle picking and placing movement device can comprise a rotary movement mechanism, a lifting movement mechanism arranged on the rotary movement mechanism and a horizontal telescopic movement mechanism arranged on the lifting movement mechanism. As shown in fig. 2, the rotary motion mechanism may include a vertical shaft 14 extending in a vertical direction, a motor 18, a transmission gear 19, and a rolling bearing 26, the rolling bearing 26 being disposed in an annular mount 2 of an inner support frame 40 and an annular hole on a base 20 of a housing 30, respectively, for mounting and holding the vertical shaft 14. The motor 18 drives the transmission gear 19 and thus the vertical rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The elevating movement mechanism may include an elevating movement rack 28 provided on the vertical rotation shaft 14 in a vertical direction and an elevating movement gear (not explicitly shown in the drawing) engaged with the elevating movement rack 28 to perform elevating movement on the elevating movement rack 28. The horizontal telescopic movement mechanism may comprise a fixed arm 27, a telescopic arm 29 and a telescopic movement gear (not explicitly shown in the figures). The fixed arm 27 extends in the horizontal direction and is movable up and down with the elevating movement gear with respect to the elevating movement rack 28. The telescopic arm 29 extends in a horizontal direction with a telescopic rack, and the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 is fixed on its distal end remote from the vertical central axis of the hollow housing 30. The telescopic motion gear is rotatably mounted on the fixed arm 27 and is meshed with a telescopic motion rack on the telescopic arm 29. The bottle picking and placing claw 24 can be driven by the bottle picking and placing movement device to realize circumferential rotation movement, vertical lifting movement and horizontal telescopic movement in the hollow shell 30.

As shown in fig. 4, the first bottle holding portion comprises two first circular arc holding sections symmetrically arranged about the vertical central plane of the bottle holder 12. The vertical central plane here is the vertical plane passing through the transverse center of the bottle holder 12. Each of the first arc-holding sections comprises at least two first transverse arc segments 121 located within the same arc and aligned in the axial direction of the arc. The lengths of the at least two first transverse circular arc pole segments 121 may be the same. The two first circular arc holding sections are arranged on a circumference, and the transverse distance between the lower edges of the first circular arc holding sections is smaller than the transverse distance between the upper edges of the first circular arc holding sections, so that a first wine bottle placing space which is gradually expanded upwards is formed. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the circumference herein is the same radius as the circular arc described above. The radius of the arc may be set according to the bottle size to be stored, substantially equal to (at least not less than) the radius of the bottle. The wine bottle to be stored may be placed horizontally on the first wine bottle holding space.

In one embodiment, each first circular arc retaining subsection further includes a first stop 123 extending in a lateral direction from one end of its upper edge toward the vertical central plane of the wine bottle retaining base 12 for defining an axial position of the wine bottle bottom on the wine bottle retaining base 12 to prevent the wine bottle bottom or the entire wine bottle from sliding out of the wine bottle retaining base 12. In one embodiment, adjacent first transverse arc segments 121 of each of the first arc-holding subsections are connected by a first connecting rod 122. In one embodiment, the first connecting rod 122 may be a straight rod, and in other embodiments, the first connecting rod 122 may be a curved rod, so long as all of the first transverse circular arc segments 121 are connected and have sufficient strength to support a wine bottle placed on the first transverse circular arc segments 121. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, each first connecting rod 122 is connected to the upper end of an adjacent first transverse circular arc rod segment 121, and each first connecting rod 122 is provided by a first axial straight rod extending in the axial direction. In this way, the first arc-holding part formed by the first connecting rod 122 and the first transverse arc-shaped rod section 121 can essentially have a comb-tooth-like or fork-like support structure. In this embodiment, the first transverse circular arc segments 121 at the end of each first circular arc retaining subsection where the first stop 123 is located are interconnected, and at their junction there is also provided a mounting segment 124 extending axially away from the first wine bottle receiving space for mounting the wine bottle retaining socket 12 on the wine cabinet inner support frame 40.

Fig. 5 shows a schematic structural view of a wine bottle holder according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, two first connecting rods 122, 122 'connected to the same first transverse circular arc rod section 121 in the wine bottle holder 12 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the first transverse circular arc rod section 121, respectively, so that the projections of the first transverse circular arc rod section 121 and the first connecting rods 122, 122' of each of the first circular arc holding sections in the horizontal and vertical planes have rectangular waves with alternate concavities and convexities. In one embodiment, the lengths of first connecting rods 122, 122' may be the same. In one embodiment, the first transverse circular arc bar segment 121 and the first connecting bars 122, 122' of each of the first circular arc holding sections are bent from a unitary bar. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the mounting bar section is formed by two first connecting bars 122' at the end of the bottle holder 12, a first stop 123 being arranged at the end opposite the mounting bar section.

In addition to the first stop 123 being a laterally extending rod as described above, in some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the first stop 123 of the bottle holder 12 may be angled with respect to the horizontal.

Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a bottle pick-and-place claw according to an embodiment of the present invention. In order to more clearly describe the structure of the bottle pick-and-place gripper 24, a three-dimensional coordinate system is also shown in fig. 6. Wherein, the x-axis represents the axial direction of the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24, the y-axis represents the transverse direction of the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24, the x-axis and the y-axis are both in the horizontal plane, and the z-axis represents the vertical direction of the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24. As shown in fig. 6, the second bottle holding portion of the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 is symmetrically disposed about the vertical center plane of the bottle pick-and-place claw 24, and includes a second axial rod 242 extending in the axial direction of the bottle pick-and-place claw 24; and at least two second transverse circular arc pole segments 241 located within the same circular arc and aligned along their length on the second axial pole 242. The opening of each second transverse circular arc bar segment 241 is upward to form an upwardly diverging second wine bottle receiving space. The wine bottle to be stored or taken out may be placed horizontally on the second wine bottle rest space. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the radius of the circular arc may be set according to the bottle size to be stored, substantially equal to (at least not less than) the radius of the bottle. Wherein, the transverse distance between the two ends of each second transverse arc rod segment 241 is smaller than the transverse distance between the lower edges of the two first arc holding sections of the wine bottle holding seat 12, so that the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24 does not interfere with the wine bottle holding seat 12 when moving up and down through the wine bottle holding seat 12. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the lateral distance is set here ignoring the size of the bar itself.

In one embodiment, a second stop 243 extending vertically upward is connected to one end of the at least one second axial rod 242 for defining the axial position of the bottom of the wine bottle on the wine bottle pick-and-place claw 24 to prevent the bottom of the wine bottle or the entire wine bottle from sliding out of the wine bottle pick-and-place claw 24. In one embodiment, the second stop 243 may be a straight rod extending vertically upward. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, at the end of the second axial rod 242 opposite the second stop 243, a mounting rod section 244 extending in the transverse direction is connected for mounting the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 on the telescopic arm 29 of the wine cabinet horizontal telescopic movement mechanism.

In this embodiment, the second stopper 243 may be a plate member connected to the ends of the two second axial bars 242 and extending vertically upward.

The bottle holder 12 and bottle pick-and-place claw 24 of the present invention are compatible for use, and are particularly suited for use as a bottle holder pick-and-place assembly for a wine cabinet. As shown in fig. 8, when the wine bottle holder 12 shown in fig. 5 and the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24 shown in fig. 7 are used in combination, it is ensured that the wine bottle picking and placing claw 24 can pass through the wine bottle holder 12 without interfering with each other when moving vertically, so that the storage and the taking out of the wine bottle on the wine bottle holder 12 can be successfully completed. Likewise, when the bottle holding base 12 shown in fig. 4 and the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 shown in fig. 6 are used in combination, it is ensured that the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 can pass through the bottle holding base 12 without interfering with each other when moving vertically. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the first transverse arcuate stem segments 121 of the wine bottle holder 12 may be 2, 3, 4 or more. The number of the second transverse arc rod sections 241 of the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 can also be 2, 3, 4 or more; the number of second axial bars 242 may be 1, 2, 3 or more, so long as it is ensured that the second transverse circular arc bar sections 241 of the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 can pass through the gaps between the adjacent first transverse circular arc bar sections 121 of the same first circular arc holding subsection of the bottle holding base 12, and at the same time that the second axial bars 242 can pass through the gaps between the corresponding first transverse circular arc bar sections 121 of the two first circular arc holding subsections of the bottle holding base 12.

For wine cabinets having a wine bottle holder 12 and a wine bottle pick-and-place claw 24 as described above, the automatic access to wine bottles can be categorized into a storage operation for receiving wine bottles from an access port of the wine cabinet and storing the wine bottles onto a designated wine bottle holder 12 and a removal operation for removing wine bottles from the designated wine bottle holder 12 and delivering them to the access port. The storage action may include the fixed arm 27 rising to a predetermined height along the vertical rotation axis 14, and the vertical rotation axis 14 rotating by a predetermined angle, the telescopic arm 29 extending/shortening by a predetermined length (here, extending/shortening refers to a vertical distance between the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 and the vertical rotation axis 14) so that the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 reaches directly under the access opening; after placing the wine bottle to be stored in the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24, the fixed arm 27 descends to the upper side of the designated storage wine bottle holding seat 12 along the vertical rotating shaft 14, the vertical rotating shaft 14 rotates by a preset angle, and then the telescopic arm 29 stretches by a preset length, so that the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24 reaches the right upper side of the designated storage wine bottle holding seat 12 (namely, the vertical central planes of the first wine bottle placing space and the second wine bottle placing space coincide); the fixing arm 27 then drives the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 to move vertically downward by a predetermined height, so that the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 passes through the bottle holder 12 from above to below, and the bottle to be stored is held on the bottle holder 12, thereby completing the storage operation. After the storage action is completed, the wine bottle taking and placing movement device can be restored to the original position. Accordingly, the removal action may include the fixed arm 27 being raised/lowered to a predetermined height along the vertical rotation shaft 14, and the vertical rotation shaft 14 being rotated by a predetermined angle, the telescopic arm 29 being extended/shortened by a predetermined length, so that the bottle pick-and-place claw 24 reaches directly under the bottle holder 12; then the fixing arm 27 drives the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24 to vertically move upwards to a preset height, so that the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24 passes through the wine bottle holding seat 12 from below to above, and the wine bottle to be stored is held on the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24; then the telescopic arm 29 is shortened by a preset length, the fixed arm 27 is lifted to a preset height along the vertical rotating shaft 14, and the vertical rotating shaft 14 rotates by a preset angle, and the telescopic arm 29 is lengthened/shortened by a preset length, so that the wine bottle taking and placing claw 24 reaches the position right below the access port; at least part of the wine bottle body extends out of the wine cabinet from the access opening. And after the wine bottle is taken away, the taking-out action is completed. Can restore the wine bottle taking and placing movement device to the original position.
