Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural design of junction box assemblies, and in particular to a junction box fastener, junction box assembly, and table structure suitable for mounting tabletops of two different thicknesses. Background Technology

[0002] In today's office and home environments, desks are increasingly diverse in design and function to meet the needs of different users. A key component of a desk is the cable box, which is used to organize and conceal cables, keeping the desktop neat and secure. However, existing methods of securing cables have some limitations.

[0003] Most junction box designs on the market are only suitable for fixing a tabletop of a specific thickness. This design limits the versatility and adaptability of the junction box, as tabletops from different manufacturers may vary in thickness. When the tabletop thickness does not match the fixing requirements of the junction box, users often need to take additional measures to ensure a secure installation.

[0004] A common solution is to use L-shaped connecting plates to accommodate tabletops of different thicknesses. However, this method has significant drawbacks. For thicker tabletops, the L-shaped connecting plate may not be usable directly and requires additional milling to embed it within the tabletop. This process not only increases manufacturing costs but may also expose the internal material of the tabletop during milling, causing harmful substances to evaporate into the air, posing potential risks to the environment and human health.

[0005] For thinner tabletops, L-shaped connectors may create gaps between the junction box and the tabletop, affecting the stability of the junction box and the overall aesthetics of the tabletop. Furthermore, this fixing method lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to the installation needs of tabletops of varying thicknesses, limiting the applicable range of the junction box. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a junction box fastener, junction box assembly, and table structure suitable for installing tabletops of two thicknesses. The junction box is fixed under the junction box with a T-shaped fastener. By utilizing the different support heights on both sides of the T, the purpose of fixing tabletops of two thicknesses can be achieved. This solves the problem of the environmentally unfriendly nature of additional milling grooves and also achieves commonality of junction box fasteners.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides a junction box fastener suitable for installing tabletops of two thicknesses. The junction box fastener is a T-shaped plate structure. The junction box fastener includes a fixing plate and a first support plate and a second support plate connected to the same side of the fixing plate. The first support plate and the second support plate have different plate heights in the support direction to match the two tabletops of two thicknesses.

[0009] The fixing plate is connected to the lower surface of the junction box;

[0010] The first or second support plate abuts against the lower surface of the tabletop, such that the edge flange of the junction box clamps the tabletop with the first or second support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first support plate and the second support plate are perpendicular to the fixed plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the first support plate, the second support plate, and the fixing plate are integrally formed structures.

[0013] Furthermore, the first support plate, the second support plate, and the fixing plate are all injection molded parts or metal die-cast parts.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing plate is provided with two through holes, and the fixing plate is connected to the junction box by screws passing through the through holes.

[0015] Furthermore, both the first support plate and the second support plate are U-shaped structures.

[0016] Furthermore, both the first support plate and the second support plate include two legs.

[0017] Furthermore, the first support plate and the second support plate are coplanar, and their respective legs are arranged facing away from each other.

[0018] A second aspect of the present invention provides a junction box assembly suitable for installing tabletops of two thicknesses, including a junction box body and an edge flange disposed on the top of the junction box body, and also including a junction box fixing member as described above, wherein the fixing plate of the junction box fixing member is connected to the lower surface of the junction box.

[0019] The first or second support plate of the junction box fastener abuts against the lower surface of the tabletop, such that the edge flange of the junction box clamps the tabletop with the first or second support plate.

[0020] A third aspect of the present invention provides a table structure, including a tabletop, legs, and the aforementioned cable box assembly.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0022] 1) This invention, through its innovative T-shaped plate structure design, achieves multifunctionality and adaptability of the wire box fixing component, effectively overcoming the limitations of existing wire box fixing methods. Specifically, the wire box fixing component of this invention has two support plates of different heights, which can adapt to two different thicknesses of tabletops, thus eliminating the need for additional milling of the tabletops. This not only reduces production costs but also avoids the volatilization of harmful substances generated during milling, improving the environmental performance of the product.

[0023] 2) The design of the cable box assembly and table structure of this invention provides users with a more flexible and aesthetically pleasing tabletop cable box solution. The synergistic effect of the edge flange of the cable box assembly and the support plate ensures a stable clamping of the tabletop, enhancing the overall structural stability. This design not only improves the table's practicality but also enhances its aesthetics, meeting the dual demands of modern office and home environments for both multifunctionality and aesthetic appeal. Through this invention, users can easily select a suitable support plate based on the tabletop's thickness, enabling rapid installation and adjustment, significantly improving the user experience.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The present invention provides a junction box fastener suitable for mounting tabletops of two thicknesses; see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The junction box fixing component 3 is a T-shaped plate structure. The junction box fixing component 3 includes a fixing plate 3.3 and a first support plate 3.1 and a second support plate 3.2 connected to the same side of the fixing plate 3.3. The first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 have different support plate heights in the support direction to match the two thicknesses of the tabletop 1.

[0031] The fixing plate 3.3 is connected to the lower surface of the junction box 2, see [reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first support plate 3.1 or the second support plate 3.2 abuts against the lower surface of the tabletop 1, such that the edge flange of the cable box 2 clamps the tabletop 1 with the first support plate 3.1 or the second support plate 3.2. Both the first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 3.3.

[0032] In practical implementation, the first support plate 3.1, the second support plate 3.2, and the fixing plate 3.3 are integrally molded structures. The fixing plate 3.3, support plates 3.1 and 3.2 of the junction box fixing component adopt an integrally molded structure, as shown in the figure. This design simplifies the production process and improves the overall strength and durability of the fixing component through injection molding or metal die casting. The fixing plate has through holes 3.31, through which screws 4 pass to connect to the junction box 2, ensuring the stability and fixation of the junction box on the tabletop.

[0033] In practice, the first support plate 3.1, the second support plate 3.2, and the fixing plate 3.3 are all injection molded parts or metal die-cast parts.

[0034] In practice, the fixing plate 3.3 has two through holes 3.31, and the fixing plate 3.3 is connected to the junction box 2 by screws 4 passing through the through holes 3.31.

[0035] In practice, both the first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 are U-shaped structures. Both the first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 include two legs. The first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 are coplanar, and their respective legs are positioned opposite to each other.

[0036] This embodiment provides a junction box assembly suitable for installing tabletops of two thicknesses, including a junction box body and an edge flange located on the top of the junction box body, and also includes a junction box fixing member as described above. The fixing plate 3.3 of the junction box fixing member is connected to the lower surface of the junction box 2; the first support plate 3.1 or the second support plate 3.2 of the junction box fixing member abuts against the lower surface of the tabletop 1, and the edge flange of the junction box 2 clamps the tabletop 1 with the first support plate 3.1 or the second support plate 3.2.

[0037] This embodiment also provides a table structure, including a tabletop 1, legs, and the aforementioned cable box assembly.

[0038] Structural adaptation principle:

[0039] The junction box fastener of this invention adopts a T-shaped plate structure design, as shown in Figure 3. It consists of a fixing plate 3.3 and two supporting plates 3.1 and 3.2 on either side. The fixing plate 3.3 is connected to the lower surface of the junction box 2, while the first supporting plates 3.1 and 3.2 provide different support heights depending on the thickness of the tabletop 1. This design allows the junction box fastener to adapt to two different thicknesses of tabletops by selecting appropriate supporting plates. The different heights of the first supporting plates 3.1 and 3.2 accommodate tabletops of varying thicknesses.

[0040] Support and clamping principle:

[0041] The first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 adopt a U-shaped structure design and include two pairs of legs, such as... Figure 3 As shown in the figure. This structure can accommodate tabletops of different thicknesses, and the design of the legs ensures a tight contact between the tabletop and the support plate, improving the overall stability of the structure. The coplanar arrangement of the U-shaped support plate and the back-to-back support foot configuration, as shown in the first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 in the figure, allow the edge flange of the junction box and the support plate to clamp the tabletop, achieving a stable fixing effect.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Unlike Embodiment 1, the first support plate 3.1 and the second support plate 3.2 also adopt a U-shaped structure design, but include 4 pairs of legs, that is, 2 first support plates 3.1 and 2 second support plates 3.2. That is, one side of the cable box 2 is connected to the tabletop 1 through 4 legs.

[0044] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
