Abstract

A wine bottle positioning device includes a sleeving component and a door cover. The sleeving component includes a positioning base and a positioning sleeve connected to the positioning base. The door cover is movably disposed at the positioning base. Another wine bottle positioning device is also provided. A wine storage apparatus is also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A wine bottle positioning device, comprising:
a sleeving component, comprising a positioning base and a positioning sleeve connected to the positioning base; and a door cover, movably disposed at the positioning base.

2 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning base comprises an opening and a first internal space communicated with the opening, and the positioning sleeve comprises a second internal space communicated with the first internal space.

3 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 2 , wherein the door cover is located in the first internal space, the door cover comprises a cover portion and a pivot portion connected to the cover portion, the cover portion is configured to open or close the opening, and the pivot portion is pivoted to the positioning base.

4 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 3 , further comprising a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot portion, wherein the torsion spring comprises a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, the first end abuts against the cover portion, and the second end abuts against the positioning base.

5 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 3 , wherein the door cover further comprises a sensing portion connected to the cover portion.

6 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 5 , wherein the positioning base further comprises an open groove communicated with the first internal space, and the open groove is located on a moving path of the sensing portion.

7 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 6 , wherein the sensing portion is moved out of the first internal space through the open groove after the door cover is rotated relative to the positioning base to open the opening.

8 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 6 , wherein the positioning base further comprises a first surface and a second surface intersecting the first surface, the opening is located at the first surface, and the open groove is located at the second surface.

9 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 2 , wherein the first internal space of the positioning base comprises a first depth axis, the second internal space of the positioning base comprises a second depth axis, and an angle between the first depth axis and the second axis is ranged from 3 to 7 degrees.

10 . A wine bottle positioning device, comprising:
a sleeving component, comprising a positioning base and a positioning sleeve connected to the positioning base, wherein the positioning base comprises an opening and a first internal space communicated with the opening, and the positioning sleeve comprises a second internal space communicated with the first internal space; and an auxiliary positioning sleeve, disposed in the second internal space, wherein the auxiliary positioning sleeve comprises a third internal space, and the third internal space is communicated with the first internal space.

11 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 10 , wherein the positioning sleeve further comprises an inner wall surface surrounding the second internal space and a first positioning portion located on the inner wall surface.

12 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 11 , wherein the auxiliary positioning sleeve further comprises an outer wall surface facing away from the third internal space and a second positioning portion located on the outer wall surface.

13 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 12 , wherein the outer wall surface of the auxiliary positioning sleeve faces towards the inner wall surface of the positioning sleeve, and the second positioning portion is engaged with the first positioning portion.

14 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 10 , wherein the auxiliary positioning sleeve further comprises an inner wall surface surrounding the third internal space and a plurality of positioning fin sets connected to the inner wall surface.

15 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 14 , wherein the positioning fin sets are arranged alternately along a depth axis of the third internal space.

16 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of positioning fin sets comprises at least two positioning fins.

17 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 16 , wherein each of the positioning fins comprises a convex curved surface connected to the inner wall surface and a concave curved surface facing away from the convex curved surface, and the two concave curved surfaces of the two positioning fins define a positioning channel.

18 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 10 , wherein the auxiliary positioning sleeve further comprises an inner wall surface surrounding the third internal space and a plurality of positioning fins connected to the inner wall surface.

19 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 18 , wherein the positioning fins are arranged alternately around a depth axis of the third internal space.

20 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 18 , wherein each of the positioning fins extends along a depth axis of the third internal space.

21 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 18 , wherein each of the positioning fins comprises a positioning surface facing away from the third internal space, and the positioning surfaces of the positioning fins define a positioning channel.

22 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 21 , wherein each of the positioning fins further comprises a first positioning end close to the opening and a second positioning end away from the opening.

23 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 22 , wherein a height of each positioning surface of each of the positioning fins gradually increases from the first positioning end to the second positioning end.

24 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 18 , wherein each of the positioning fins is in a spiral shape.

25 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 22 , wherein the auxiliary positioning sleeve further comprises an inner wall surface surrounding the third internal space and a plurality of auxiliary fins connected to the inner wall surface.

26 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 25 , wherein any two of the auxiliary fins adjacent to each other is separated by one of the positioning fins.

27 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 25 , wherein each of the auxiliary fins comprises an auxiliary surface facing away from the inner wall surface of the third internal space.

28 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 27 , wherein each of the auxiliary fins further comprises a first auxiliary end close to the opening and a second auxiliary end away from the opening.

29 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 28 , wherein a height of the auxiliary surface of each of the auxiliary fins gradually increases from the first auxiliary end to the second auxiliary end.

30 . The wine bottle positioning device according to claim 29 , wherein a height of the positioning surface of each of the positioning fins on the fi
