Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of furniture, and more particularly to a multifunctional piece of furniture. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, furniture equipped with charging docks for electronic devices typically has the charging panel directly placed on the side for easy plugging and unplugging. For safety, a protective cover may also be installed to conceal the charging panel. Alternatively, in locations with high charging demand, open, portable power outlets are used. For example, the Chinese invention patent publication "CN103682784A" describes a height-adjustable portable power outlet, including a base with a central bottom shaft, a lower pull rod inserted inside the bottom shaft, a middle pull rod inserted inside the lower pull rod, an upper pull rod inserted inside the middle pull rod, a tray on the upper pull rod, and a power outlet panel with six power outlets on the tray. The base surface has a cable locking button; the side of the base has a power plug cord; and four casters are located below the base. When using it, first plug the power cord that comes with the chassis into the indoor power socket. This way, whether the user is sitting in the office, leaning on the sofa, or resting in bed, they can move the power socket to the most comfortable position and easily connect the required electrical equipment to the power socket panel.
[0003] The aforementioned portable power outlets meet a large demand for power, but their open power supply not only results in messy wiring but also poses safety risks when drawing power.
[0004] Furthermore, previously, floor lamps and seating were two completely different types of furniture, and there was no incentive to combine them in the same piece of furniture. However, Chinese utility model patent CN207334352U describes a dual-purpose floor lamp, including a frustum-shaped lampshade and a stool. A telescopic rod is welded to the center of the stool. The top of the frustum-shaped lampshade has a seat integrally formed, and the inner top of the lampshade has an integrally formed circular column. The telescopic rod is inserted into the circular column, and the resulting gap is filled with glue. A bulb holder is provided on the top of the frustum-shaped lampshade, and the bulb holder is glued to the top of the telescopic rod. The bulb holder's power cord extends from the inside of the telescopic rod to the outside. This solution combines the functions of a floor lamp and seating, providing multiple uses for one lamp and improving the utilization of indoor space.
[0005] However, the aforementioned prior art has some flaws, mainly in that it uses a stool as a base for support, but the stool itself, due to the telescopic rod in the middle, does not function as a seat. According to the description, the sitting position is such that the cylindrical lampshade can just completely cover the stool and the bottom of the cylindrical lampshade is just in contact with the ground, thus turning the aforementioned utility model into a stool. However, it is well known that cylindrical lampshades of lamps are required to have light transmission function, so cylindrical lampshades are mostly supported by glass or transparent plastic. But when this design is used as a seat, the cylindrical lampshade, as the stress point, is difficult to support; even with the stool in the middle as the main support, the cylindrical lampshade can easily be crushed when the seat is subjected to force to one side.
[0006] Furthermore, the lampshade is easily damaged by accident when it is on the ground, even when not in use. Finally, because the light transmission effect of the lampshade cannot be affected, a flexible surface layer cannot be installed on it, resulting in a poor riding experience. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention aims to provide a multifunctional piece of furniture that, in addition to the basic functions of furniture, incorporates concealed power outlets and power extraction capabilities, thereby standardizing wiring and reducing power extraction safety risks.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0009] A multifunctional piece of furniture includes a ring-shaped body and a cover; characterized in that: the ring-shaped body has a built-in cavity, and the cover is detachably or movably connected to the ring-shaped body; a charging base is provided inside the cavity of the ring-shaped body, and a battery connected to the charging base and / or a terminal block for connecting to mains power is provided; a wire passage groove is constructed on the cavity opening edge of the upper end face of the ring-shaped body and / or the lower end face edge of the cover; when the cover is closed on the cavity opening of the ring-shaped body, the lower end face edge of the cover rests on the upper end face of the ring-shaped body at the cavity opening edge, the ring-shaped body supports the cover, the upper end of the cover serves as a seating surface, and the wire passage groove allows wires to extend from inside the cavity into the ring-shaped body.
[0010] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, which relates to a multifunctional furniture. The multifunctional furniture uses a ring-shaped main body as a base, and the cover is connected to the ring-shaped main body in a detachable or movable manner. The cavity of the ring-shaped main body serves as a receiving area for accommodating electrical components such as charging bases and batteries. Furthermore, a wire-passing groove is constructed on the edge of the cavity on the upper end face of the ring-shaped main body and / or the edge of the lower end face of the cover to allow wires to be threaded through.
[0011] When in use, the cover can be opened or removed from the top of the ring-shaped body, and the charging plug can be placed on the charging base inside the ring-shaped body. Multiple power outlets can be arranged on the charging base. Then, the wires are guided to the wire channel and the cover is closed. In this way, the charging base, battery and other electrical components, as well as the charging plug and some power cords, can be hidden in the cavity inside the ring-shaped body. The furniture as a whole can also be used as a seat or a storage table.
[0012] Based on this solution, this multifunctional furniture, in addition to the basic functions of furniture, incorporates the functions of concealed power outlets and power supply, standardizing wiring and reducing the safety risks of power supply.
[0013] In addition, a battery can be installed in the inner cavity of the ring-shaped main body in this solution. When the battery is charged, the furniture can be moved to any location for use without being limited by the distance to the power source.
[0014] Among the optional active connection schemes, the following schemes can be adopted: 1. The cover is hinged to one side of the upper end of the annular body, and the cover can be flipped relative to the annular body along the hinge axis to realize opening and closing.
[0015] 2. The cover is connected to the upper side of the annular body by a flexible band, that is, the cover is connected to the annular body by the flexible band, and the cover can be opened relative to the annular body.
[0016] 3. A lifting rod assembly is provided inside the cavity of the annular body, and the cover is connected to the upper end of the lifting rod assembly. The cover can be raised and lowered relative to the annular body based on the lifting rod assembly.
[0017] In a further embodiment, a cable tie is also provided on the inner wall of the cavity of the annular body. The cable tie is longitudinally movable on the inner wall of the cavity. A first longitudinally arranged groove is constructed on the inner wall of the cavity of the annular body. The inner end of the cable tie is slidably disposed in the first groove. The cable tie includes a binding ring, and a binding opening for binding the wire is formed inside the binding ring. An opening for the wire to be inserted is formed on the binding ring. In this embodiment, multiple wires can be bound together using a cable tie, thus organizing the wires in the cavity of the annular body and avoiding internal clutter. Furthermore, in order not to affect the wiring, this embodiment moves the cable tie on the inner wall of the cavity of the annular body. This allows for adjustment based on the distance and length of different wires, preventing the binding ring from being fixed in position and affecting the normal power supply of some wires.
[0018] In a further embodiment, the outer contour of the charging base is adapted to the inner contour of the cavity of the annular body, and the charging base can be detachably placed inside the cavity of the annular body. A radially inwardly protruding positioning strip is integrally constructed or connected to the inner wall of the annular body, and a second sliding groove adapted to the protruding portion of the positioning strip is constructed on the side wall of the charging base. The second sliding groove extends to the bottom of the charging base. When the protruding portion of the positioning strip engages with the second sliding groove, the charging base is circumferentially positioned with the annular body. In this embodiment, the charging base is detachably placed inside the cavity of the annular body, and circumferential positioning is achieved during placement based on the protruding portion of the positioning strip engaging with the second sliding groove. After the charging base is removed, it can provide open power supply for multiple workstations.
[0019] Preferably, the annular body includes a base, an inner ring and an outer ring disposed on the base, and a top ring assembly connected to the upper ends of the inner and outer rings. The inner ring is composed of multiple sidewall profiles connected end to end, and the outer ring is fitted onto the outside of the inner ring. The top ring assembly and the base are connected to the upper and lower ends of the inner ring and clamp the outer ring therein. A wire groove is constructed on the upper end face of the top ring assembly and / or the lower end face edge of the cover. In this design, the annular body is composed of a base, an inner ring, an outer ring, and a top ring assembly. The inner ring is used to connect and fix the top ring assembly and the base on its upper and lower sides, and the outer ring is further clamped by the top ring assembly and the base. This allows the outer ring to be constructed without any connecting structure, thus enabling the outer ring to be constructed as a structure that improves riding comfort, such as a flexible covering layer. Furthermore, the inner ring in this design is constructed by connecting the side wall profiles end to end, which makes it easier to build the inner ring by simply connecting the profiles. It is also very convenient to directly form threaded positions on the upper and lower sides of the profiles, which facilitates connection with the top ring assembly and the base.
[0020] Preferably, the two circumferential ends of the sidewall profile are respectively provided with mutually compatible protrusions and grooves, which extend along the height direction on the sidewall of the sidewall profile. The protrusions of two adjacent sidewall profiles can be pushed into the grooves along the height direction to achieve circumferential locking, at which point the sidewalls of the two adjacent sidewall profiles abut against each other. In this solution, based on the axial insertion of the protrusions and grooves, quick assembly and disassembly can be achieved, and after assembly, circumferential positioning can be achieved, and the abutment of the sidewalls of two adjacent sidewall profiles ensures the circumferential integrity of the inner ring body.
[0021] Preferably, the top ring assembly includes a decorative ring and a press-fit ring. The decorative ring covers the upper surfaces of the inner ring body and the outer ring body, and the press-fit ring covers the upper end of the decorative ring and is connected and fixed to the upper end of the inner ring body to clamp and fix the decorative ring. A wire groove is constructed on the portion of the decorative ring that is higher than the press-fit ring.
[0022] In this specific design, the inner ring of the decorative ring has a recessed annular groove, and the groove contains a through hole corresponding to the threaded position at the upper end of the inner ring. The press-fit ring is embedded in the annular groove of the decorative ring and connected to the threaded position at the upper end of the inner ring via a screw fastener. In this design, the press-fit ring is used to press and fix the decorative ring, and the press-fit ring is embedded in the annular groove of the decorative ring to ensure its integrity.
[0023] Preferably, the decorative ring is composed of multiple decorative arc plates joined end-to-end, and the press-fit ring is composed of multiple press-fit arc plates joined end-to-end. One end of each press-fit arc plate has an outwardly protruding tongue, and the other end has a recess for accommodating the tongue. When two adjacent press-fit arc plates are joined, the tongue engages with the recess. This design disassembles both the decorative ring and the press-fit ring into multiple arc plates, reducing transportation and packaging volume. Furthermore, when two adjacent decorative arc plates are joined end-to-end, they only need to be fitted together, while the press-fit ring requires pressing to fix the decorative ring. Since the threaded connection of the press-fit ring makes it difficult to ensure that the edges of two adjacent press-fit arc plates are aligned, this design also provides tongues and recesses at both ends of the press-fit arc plates. The tongue engages with the recess to ensure that the two press-fit arc plates are basically flat.
[0024] Preferably, when the cover is closed over the cavity of the annular body, the lifting rod assembly is hidden inside the cavity of the annular body; a light source component is provided at the lower end or edge of the cover, and a wire connecting the light source component passes through the inside of the lifting rod assembly. This solution integrates the function of a floor lamp into seating. Compared to the solutions described in the prior art, the main difference lies in the following: this solution uses an annular body as a base, and the cavity of the annular body serves as a storage area for functional components such as the lifting rod assembly and a battery. When the cover is closed over the annular body, these components can be hidden inside the cavity, and in this state, only the seating features are visible from the outside. Furthermore, in the sitting position, the annular body serves as a supporting and load-bearing base, while the light source component is located at the lower end or edge of the cover, thus omitting the lampshade found in the prior art solutions. This overcomes the problem of easy damage caused by using a lampshade as a support, as described in the background art; furthermore, directly placing the light source component at the lower end or edge of the cover results in better transparency, including both transparency intensity and transparency range.
[0025] Preferably, the light source component is a ring light continuously or intermittently arranged around the lower end face of the cover, and the connection point between the upper end of the lifting rod assembly and the cover is located within the enclosed area of the ring light. In this design, the edge of the cover is supported on the upper end face of the ring body, thereby allowing the ring body to support the cover and bear the force, which, together with the middle lifting rod assembly, ensures that the cover is stably supported. Furthermore, in this design, the ring light can be continuously or intermittently arranged around the cover, and the connection point of the lifting rod assembly is located inside the ring light. In this way, the ring light can illuminate all areas around the cover without creating local shadows due to the obstruction of the lifting rod assembly, thus affecting the lighting effect.
[0026] Preferably, the outer wall surface of the annular body and / or the upper surface of the cover are provided with a flexible surface layer to improve riding comfort.
[0027] Preferably, the lifting rod assembly is a telescopic sleeve, which consists of multiple sleeve segments connected in sequence. Attached Figure Description

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0042] like Figures 1-9As shown, this embodiment relates to a multifunctional furniture, including a ring-shaped main body 1 and a cover 2. The ring-shaped main body 1 has a built-in cavity 10, and the cover 2 is detachably or movably connected to the ring-shaped main body 1. A flexible surface layer 21 is provided on the outer wall surface of the ring-shaped main body 1 and / or the upper surface of the cover 2 to improve seating comfort.
[0043] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a charging base 5 is provided inside the cavity 10 of the annular body 1, along with a battery connected to the charging base 5 and / or a terminal block for connecting to mains power. The charging base 5 has multiple power outlets 51 built in. A wire passage groove 100 is constructed on the edge of the cavity opening on the upper surface of the annular body 1 and / or the edge of the lower surface of the cover 2. When the cover 2 is closed on the cavity opening of the annular body 1, the lower edge of the cover 2 rests on the upper surface of the annular body 1 at the edge of the cavity opening, the annular body 1 supports the cover 2, the upper end of the cover 2 serves as a seating surface, and the wire passage groove 100 allows wires to extend from inside the cavity 10 into the annular body 1.
[0044] This multifunctional furniture uses a ring-shaped main body as a base, with a cover 2 detachably or movablely connected to the ring-shaped main body 1. The cavity 10 of the ring-shaped main body 1 serves as a receiving area to accommodate electrical components such as the charging base 5 and the battery. A cable tray 100 is constructed on the edge of the cavity on the upper surface of the ring-shaped main body 1 and / or the edge of the lower surface of the cover 2 to allow for cable routing. In use, the cover 2 can be opened or removed from the top of the ring-shaped main body 1, and the charging plug can be placed on the charging base 5 inside the ring-shaped main body. Multiple power outlets can be arranged on the charging base 5. The power cord is then guided to the cable tray 100, and the cover 2 is closed. This conceals the charging base 5, battery, and other electrical components, as well as the charging plug and some power cords, within the cavity 10 inside the ring-shaped main body 1. The furniture can also be used as a seat or a shelf.
[0045] Based on this solution, this multifunctional furniture, in addition to its basic functions, incorporates concealed power outlets and access, standardizing wiring and reducing power safety risks. Furthermore, this solution allows for the installation of a battery within the inner cavity of the ring-shaped main body 1. With a charged battery, the furniture can be moved to any location for use without being limited by the distance from the power source.
[0046] Among the available active connection options, the following options can be used:
[0047] 1. The cover 2 is hinged to one side of the upper end of the annular body 1. The cover 2 can be flipped relative to the annular body 1 along the hinge axis to achieve opening and closing.
[0048] 2. The cover 2 is connected to the upper side of the annular body 1 by a flexible band, that is, the cover 2 is connected to the annular body 1 by the flexible band, and the cover 2 can be opened relative to the annular body 1.
[0049] 3. A lifting rod assembly 3 is provided inside the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. The cover 2 is connected to the upper end of the lifting rod assembly 3. The cover 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the annular body 1 based on the lifting rod assembly 3.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, a cable tie 6 is also provided on the inner wall of the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. The cable tie 6 is longitudinally movable on the inner wall of the cavity 10. A longitudinally arranged first sliding groove 124 is constructed on the inner wall of the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. The inner end of the cable tie 6 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 124. The cable tie 6 includes a binding ring 61, and a binding opening 60 for binding the wire is formed inside the binding ring 61. An opening for the wire to be inserted is formed on the binding ring 61. In this solution, multiple wires can be bound together using the cable tie 6, thus organizing the wires in the cavity 10 of the annular body 1 and avoiding internal mess. Furthermore, in order not to affect the wiring, this solution moves the cable tie 6 on the inner wall of the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. This allows for adjustment based on the distance and length of different wires, preventing the fixed position of the binding ring 61 from affecting the normal power supply of some wires.
[0051] In a further embodiment, the outer contour of the charging base 5 is adapted to the inner contour of the cavity 10 of the annular body 1, and the charging base 5 is detachably placed within the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. A radially inwardly protruding positioning strip 7 is integrally constructed or connected to the inner wall of the annular body 1. A second sliding groove 52, adapted to the protruding portion of the positioning strip 7, is constructed on the side wall of the charging base 5. The second sliding groove 52 extends to the bottom of the charging base 5. When the protruding portion of the positioning strip 7 engages with the second sliding groove 52, the charging base 5 is circumferentially positioned with the annular body 1. In this embodiment, the charging base 5 is detachably placed within the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. During placement, circumferential positioning is achieved based on the protruding portion of the positioning strip 7 engaging with the second sliding groove 52. After the charging base 5 is removed, it can provide power supply for multi-station open-type applications.
[0052] like Figure 4-7As shown, the annular body 1 includes a base 11, an inner ring 12 and an outer ring 13 disposed on the base 11, and a top ring assembly connected to the upper ends of the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 13. The inner ring 12 is composed of multiple sidewall profiles connected end to end, and the outer ring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the inner ring 12. The top ring assembly and the base 11 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the inner ring 12 and clamp the outer ring 13 therein. A wire groove 100 is constructed on the upper end surface of the top ring assembly and / or the lower end surface edge of the cover 2. In this design, the annular body 1 is composed of a base 11, an inner ring 12, an outer ring 13, and a top ring assembly. The inner ring 12 connects and fixes the top ring assembly and the base 11 on its upper and lower sides. The outer ring 13 is further sandwiched between the top ring assembly and the base 11, allowing the outer ring 13 to be constructed without any connecting structures. This enables the outer ring 13 to be designed as a structure that enhances ride comfort, such as a flexible covering layer. Furthermore, the inner ring 12 in this design is composed of side wall profiles 121 connected end to end. This makes the construction of the inner ring 12 more convenient, as it can be achieved by butt-fitting the profiles. It is also very convenient to directly form threaded positions on the upper and lower sides of the profiles, facilitating connection with the top ring assembly and the base 11.
[0053] In the above scheme, the first groove 124 is constructed on the side wall profile 121 of the inner ring body 12. The two circumferential ends of the side wall profile 121 are respectively provided with mutually compatible protrusions 122 and slots 123, which extend along the height direction on the side wall of the side wall profile 121. The protrusions 122 of two adjacent side wall profiles 121 can be pushed into the slots 123 along the height direction to achieve circumferential locking, at which point the side walls of the two adjacent side wall profiles 121 abut against each other. In this scheme, based on the axial insertion of the protrusions 122 and the slots 123, quick assembly and disassembly can be achieved. After assembly, circumferential positioning can be achieved, and the abutment of the side walls of two adjacent side wall profiles 121 ensures the circumferential integrity of the inner ring body 12.
[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the top ring assembly includes a decorative ring 14 and a press-fit ring 15. The decorative ring 14 covers the upper surfaces of the inner ring body 12 and the outer ring body 13. The press-fit ring 15 covers the upper end of the decorative ring 14 and is connected and fixed to the upper end of the inner ring body 12 to clamp and fix the decorative ring 14. A thread groove 100 is constructed on the portion of the decorative ring 14 that is higher than the press-fit ring 15. In a specific embodiment, the inner ring of the decorative ring 14 has a recessed annular groove 141, and a through hole 142 corresponding to the threaded position at the upper end of the inner ring body 12 is provided inside the annular groove 141. The press-fit ring 15 is embedded in the annular groove 141 of the decorative ring 14 and is connected to the threaded position at the upper end of the inner ring body 12 by a screw fastener. In this embodiment, the press-fit ring 15 is used to press and fix the decorative ring 14, and the press-fit ring 15 is embedded in the annular groove 141 of the decorative ring 14 to ensure integrity.
[0055] In a further embodiment, the decorative ring 14 is composed of multiple decorative arc plates 140 joined end-to-end, and the press-fit ring 15 is composed of multiple press-fit arc plates 151 joined end-to-end. One end of each press-fit arc plate 151 has an outwardly protruding tongue 152, and the other end has a recess 153 for accommodating the tongue 152. When two adjacent press-fit arc plates 151 are joined, the tongue 152 engages with the recess 153. This embodiment disassembles both the decorative ring 14 and the press-fit ring 15 into multiple arc plates, reducing transportation and packaging volume. Furthermore, when two adjacent decorative arc plates 140 are joined end to end, they only need to be fitted together. However, the press-fit ring 15 needs to be pressed to fix the decorative ring 14. The threaded connection position of the press-fit ring 15 makes it difficult to ensure that the edge heights of the two adjacent press-fit arc plates 151 are aligned. Therefore, this solution also provides tongues 152 and notches 153 at both ends of the press-fit arc plates 151. The tongues 152 are inserted into the notches 153 to ensure that the two press-fit arc plates 151 are basically flat.
[0056] like Figure 8 and 9 In this design, the cover 2 is connected to the annular body 1 via a lifting rod assembly 3, allowing the cover 2 to rise and fall relative to the annular body 1. The lifting rod assembly 3 is a telescopic sleeve, consisting of multiple sleeve segments connected in sequence. When the cover 2 is closed over the cavity of the annular body 1, the lifting rod assembly 3 is hidden inside the cavity 10 of the annular body 1. A light source component is provided at the lower end or edge of the cover 2, and a wire connecting the light source component passes through the inside of the lifting rod assembly 3. This design integrates the function of a floor lamp into a seating unit. Compared to the design described in the prior patent, the main difference lies in the following: This design uses the annular body 1 as a base, and the cavity 10 of the annular body 1 serves as a storage area for functional components such as the lifting rod assembly 3 and a battery. When the cover 2 is closed over the annular body 1, these components can be hidden inside the cavity 10, and in this state, only the seating features are visible from the outside. Furthermore, in the seated position, the annular main body 1 serves as a supporting and load-bearing base, while the light source component is located at the lower end or edge of the cover 2, thus omitting the lampshade found in the prior patent solution. This overcomes the problem of easy damage caused by using a lampshade as a support, as described in the background art. Furthermore, directly placing the light source component at the lower end or edge of the cover 2 results in better transparency, including both transparency intensity and transparency range.
[0057] Figure 9As shown, the light source component is a ring light 4 continuously or intermittently arranged around the lower end face of the cover 2. The upper end of the lifting rod assembly 3 is connected to the cover 2 within the enclosed area of the ring light 4. In this design, the edge of the cover 2 is supported on the upper end face of the annular body 1, thereby allowing the annular body 1 to support the cover 2 under stress. The lifting rod assembly 3 in the middle ensures that the cover 2 is stably supported. Furthermore, in this design, the ring light 4 can be continuously or intermittently arranged around the cover, and the connection position of the lifting rod assembly 3 is located inside the ring light 4.
