Referring to the figures, the rotary seat 3 and the sliding support frame 4 of the rotary bottle seat assembly are respectively fixed at two opposite sides of the door body 1; specifically, the rotary seat 3 is fixed on a first side 11 of the door body 1, and the sliding support frame 4 is fixed on a first side 12 of the door body 1.

Based on the arrangement mode, the rotary seat 3 and the sliding support frame 4 form a bridge type support for the bottle seat, so that the bottle seat is more stable in the rotating process, and the bottle seat has a better bearing effect. And the rotary bottle seat component can increase the operating space above the bottle seat through the rotary action, and is convenient for a user to take and place articles.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the bottle holder according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a bottle holder body 21 and a bracket 22 located below the bottle holder body 21 for fixing the bottle holder body 21. More specifically, the rotating base 3 is described in conjunction with the rotating base 3, in this embodiment, the rotating base 3 includes a bottle base rotating shaft 30, a rotating bracket 31, a bracket mounting portion 32, a bottle base body positioning portion 33 and an outer cover 34, wherein, the rotating bracket 31 is used for fixing the rotating seat 3 on the first side 11 of the door body 1, the bottle seat rotating shaft 30 is fixed on the rotating bracket 31 and can rotate along the vertical axis O-O ', the bracket mounting part 32 is fixedly arranged relative to the bottle seat rotating shaft 30 and can rotate along the vertical axis O-O' along with the bottle seat rotating shaft 30, the bracket 22 is fixed on the bracket mounting part 32, the fixing can be realized in a mode of a buckle or a screw and the like, the bottle seat body 21 is fixed above the bracket 22 and is positioned between the bottle seat body positioning part 33 and the bracket 22, and the outer cover 34 is buckled on one side of the rotating bracket 31 to prevent the bottle seat rotating shaft 30 from being exposed outside.

It should be understood that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the bottle holder body 21 and the bracket 22 can be integrally formed, and the fixed connection between the bottle holder 2 and the bottle holder rotating shaft 30 of the rotating base 3 is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating bottle seat assembly in this embodiment further has a limiting mechanism, and as shown in fig. 10 and 11, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting block 42 and a plurality of limiting grooves 220 that cooperate with the limiting block 42 to lock the bottle seat 2 at different angles. Wherein, the limiting groove 220 is formed by sinking upwards from the bottom of the bottle base 2, and the limiting grooves 220 are distributed on the path of the bottom of the bottle base 2 for the sliding support frame 4 to slide relatively, specifically in this embodiment, the limiting groove 220 is formed at the bottom of the bracket 22; the limiting block 42 is disposed in the sliding support 4 and has a locking state in which the head 420 protrudes out of the top of the sliding support 4 to cooperate with the limiting groove 220. Referring to fig. 11, a schematic view of the stopper 42 in a locked state is shown, and at this time, the head 420 of the stopper 42 is embedded in the stopper groove 220, so as to prevent the bottle base 2 from rotating freely.

In this embodiment, the limiting block 42 is rotatably disposed relative to the sliding support frame 4 and is connected to an elastic restoring member for driving the limiting block to restore to the locking state, as shown in fig. 12, when the bottle seat 2 rotates and drives the limiting groove 220 to leave the limiting block 420, the head 420 of the limiting block 42 driven by the bottom of the bottle seat 2 deflects towards the side where the limiting groove 220 leaves to form a yielding position for the rotation of the bottle seat 2. More specifically, when the bottom bracket 22 of the bottle seat moves along the direction d relative to the stopper 420, the lower surface of the bottom bracket 22 drives the stopper 42 to turn over and drive the head 420 to deflect towards the direction d. That is, when the bottle base 2 is subjected to a certain external pushing and pulling force, the stopper 42 in the locked state is automatically unlocked and allows the bottle base 2 to rotate, and when the next stopper groove 220 moves to the upper side position of the stopper 42, the stopper 42 automatically recovers under the action of the elastic recovery member and locks the bottle base 2 at a certain position again.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, 9, 11 and 12, a slot 410 in a vertical direction is disposed in the sliding support frame 4 below the limiting block 42, and the elastic restoring member is an elongated elastic sheet 421 fixed at the tail of the limiting block 42 and extending into the slot 410.
