Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of storage equipment, and in particular to a mobile, liftable, multi-functional island platform. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, kitchen islands play a vital role in open-plan kitchens. From their initial simple form, they have evolved into various types to meet diverse usage scenarios. Freestanding islands provide a self-contained countertop, excelling in storage and cooking functions, adding independent work and storage space to the kitchen. Extended islands, arranged in a linear layout, extend from fixed cabinets, not only increasing the countertop work area but also serving as a dining table, greatly enhancing the kitchen's practicality. Peninsula islands are suitable for smaller kitchens, extending from cabinets and effectively utilizing limited space. The emergence and development of kitchen islands have significantly enriched kitchen functionality and spatial layout, bringing greater convenience to people's cooking and daily life.

[0003] In the development of island-style countertop technology, addressing the issue of limited functionality in traditional countertops, people have explored and practiced to develop relatively mature solutions. For freestanding islands, an integrated design and construction approach is typically used, giving them strong stability and integrity to better support items needed for storage and cooking. Extended islands, during construction, prioritize the stability of the connection with existing cabinetry, ensuring the extension can withstand a certain weight while maintaining a smooth and continuous surface for ease of operation and use. Peninsula-style islands, in their design, fully consider the spatial characteristics of small kitchens, rationally planning the countertop's size and shape to meet basic operational needs without occupying excessive space. These conventional methods, to a certain extent, solve the basic functional requirements and spatial adaptation issues of different types of islands.

[0004] However, island platforms typically employ a fixed structural design, which results in a lack of flexibility. During use, due to their fixed structure, the length or height of the island platform cannot be adjusted according to the actual site conditions or specific usage requirements, thus limiting its scope of application and adaptability to some extent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to freely adjust the length or height of the island platform according to the actual usage site conditions, the purpose of this application is to provide a mobile, liftable, multi-functional island platform, which adopts the following technical solution: Includes a first adjusting island, a second adjusting island, a lifting mechanism, and a lateral translation component; The first adjustment island includes a countertop and a cabinet, with the countertop mounted on the cabinet; The second adjustment island is located adjacent to the cabinet. The lifting mechanism includes a first lifting drive component and a second lifting drive component. Both the first lifting drive component and the second lifting drive component are installed inside the cabinet. The output end of the first lifting drive component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tabletop, and the output direction of the first lifting drive component is upward. The output end of the second lifting drive component is connected to the bottom of the second adjusting island. The second lifting drive component is used to drive the second adjusting island to lift. The lateral translation component is located at the bottom of the second adjustment island and is connected to the second lifting drive component. The lateral translation component is used to drive the second adjustment island to move along its own length direction.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a first and second independently adjustable island are set up, along with a lateral sliding component. This allows the islands to not only adapt to the height requirements of different usage scenarios (such as cooking, dining, and working), but also to adjust the relative position or overall layout of the two islands through horizontal movement. This structure greatly enhances space utilization and functionality, meeting the dynamic needs of various living or commercial scenarios. Furthermore, the coordinated control of lifting and sliding provides users with a more user-friendly and customizable operating experience.

[0007] Optionally, the cabinet body is provided with a first mounting slot, the first lifting drive assembly is disposed in the first mounting slot, and the side wall of the cabinet body is also provided with a second mounting slot along its length, the second lifting drive assembly is disposed in the second mounting slot.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the lifting drive component is made more concealed and the structure more compact. This layout not only saves internal cabinet space, facilitating storage or other functional designs, but also effectively protects the lifting drive component from external impacts or contamination, improving its service life and operational stability. At the same time, the segmented installation facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, enhancing the product's maintainability and overall aesthetics.

[0009] Optionally, a support component is also fixedly provided at the bottom of the second adjustment island, and the support component can be extended and retracted according to the height of the second adjustment island.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a retractable support component is added to the bottom of the second adjustment island, which can automatically or manually adjust the support length according to the lifting height of the platform, ensuring that the second adjustment island is stably supported at any height. This design significantly improves the stability and safety during the lifting process, preventing the platform from swaying or tilting. Especially in high-load or frequent adjustment scenarios, it can effectively avoid structural deformation or overload of the drive mechanism, thus improving the reliability and durability of the product.

[0011] Optionally, the support assembly includes two nested support columns and a telescopic assembly, wherein the telescopic assembly is disposed within the support columns and is used to drive the extension and retraction of the two support columns.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, using a nested support column and built-in telescopic component structure, the support adjustment process becomes smoother and more precise. The nested structure allows for a large range of expansion and contraction within a limited space while maintaining high structural strength; the built-in telescopic component makes the support movement more coordinated and quieter. This design not only optimizes the support's response performance but also makes the overall appearance simpler, avoiding exposed complex mechanisms and balancing functionality and aesthetics.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes a moving component, which is disposed at the bottom of the cabinet and the support component, and the moving component is equipped with a braking component.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a movable component with a braking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the cabinet and supporting components, enabling the entire island system to be easily moved and fixed in place. Users can easily push the island to the desired position and then lock it in place, achieving rapid space reconfiguration and functional conversion, greatly improving ease of use and adaptability to different scenarios. The braking mechanism ensures the stability of the island in operation, preventing accidental movement and balancing flexibility and safety.

[0015] Optionally, a support steel frame is also provided on the outside of the second lifting drive assembly, the support steel frame being used to provide support for the second adjustment island platform.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a supporting steel frame is installed on the outside of the second lifting drive component, providing additional rigid support for the second adjusting island platform. This structure can significantly distribute the load borne by the lifting mechanism, especially when the platform is carrying heavy objects or when frequent lifting is required, reducing the stress deformation and wear of the drive component and extending its service life. At the same time, the supporting steel frame also enhances the overall structure's resistance to torsion and vibration, making the lifting process smoother and more reliable.

[0017] Optionally, a fixed limiting component is provided on the side wall of the supporting steel frame to restrict the movement of the supporting steel frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixed limiting component is added to the side wall of the supporting steel frame, which can physically constrain the movement range or position of the supporting steel frame. This design further improves the positional accuracy and stability of the second adjusting island platform during lifting and translation, preventing accidental deviations caused by inertia or external forces. The limiting component also plays a safety protection role, avoiding overtravel or structural interference, and enhancing the controllability and safety of system operation.

[0019] Optionally, the bottom of the second adjustment island is provided with a groove, and the lateral translation component is disposed in the groove.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a groove is set at the bottom of the second adjustment island to house the lateral translation component, making the translation structure more concealed and integrated. This layout not only saves space and avoids potential bumps or dust accumulation caused by exposed components, but also makes the bottom of the island look cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing. The groove design also provides some protection for the translation component, reducing external interference and ensuring smooth and durable lateral movement.

[0021] Optionally, the lateral translation component includes a drive unit, a lead screw, and a slider. The output end of the drive unit is used to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the slider, and the side wall of the slider is fixedly connected to the second lifting drive component.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the lateral translation component uses a transmission method involving a drive unit, a lead screw, and a slider. The lead screw drive features high precision, good self-locking, and smooth operation, enabling precise control and reliable fixation of the lateral position of the second adjustment island. This structure offers high transmission efficiency and low noise, making it suitable for scenarios requiring quiet and precise positioning in home or commercial environments, thus enhancing the user experience and product performance.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The system features independently height-adjustable first and second islands, along with lateral sliding components. This allows the islands to adapt to different height requirements in various usage scenarios (such as cooking, dining, and working), and also enables adjustments to the relative position or overall layout of the two islands through horizontal movement. This structure significantly enhances space utilization and functionality, meeting the dynamic needs of various living or commercial scenarios. Furthermore, the coordinated control of height adjustment and sliding provides users with a more user-friendly and customizable operating experience. 2. By integrating the lifting drive assembly into the cabinet mounting slot and equipping it with a retractable support assembly and a movable base with a braking device, the system achieves a compact and aesthetically pleasing structure while enhancing the stability, safety, and ease of movement of the equipment. This design ensures the island remains stable at different heights and positions, and facilitates daily repositioning, achieving a balance between flexibility and practicality. 3. The precise translation control via screw drive, the reinforced load-bearing support frame, and the protective features of the fixed limit components ensure the smoothness, accuracy, and safety of the lifting and translation processes. The synergistic effect of these key components not only extends the service life of the drive mechanism but also improves the overall operational reliability and quietness, making the product more suitable for high-quality residential or commercial environments.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0026] A mobile, liftable, multi-functional island platform, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a first adjustable island 1, a second adjustable island 2, a lifting mechanism 3, and a lateral translation component 4. The first and second adjustable islands 1 and 2 are positioned adjacent to each other. The lifting mechanism 3 is located inside the cabinet 12 and is used to drive the platform 11 of the first adjustable island 1 and the second adjustable island 2 to rise and fall. The lateral translation component 4 is located at the bottom of the second adjustable island 2 and connected to the second lifting drive component 32, used to drive the second adjustable island 2 to move along its own length. This achieves the effect of facilitating island movement, adjusting height and length, and improving the adaptability of the device. This is because the lifting mechanism 3 can change the island height, the lateral translation component 4 can change the island length, and the islands are movable, adapting to different usage scenarios.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figure 1The first adjustable island 1 includes a countertop 11 and a cabinet 12, with the countertop 11 mounted on the cabinet 12. The countertop 11 is typically flat and can be made of materials such as marble or artificial stone. It is generally rectangular in shape and is installed on top of the cabinet 12, fixedly connected to it by bolts or other means. The cabinet 12 can be made of materials such as wood or metal, and has internal space for storing items or installing other components. Since the lifting mechanism 3 only performs the lifting function of the island, it occupies a small area. Therefore, without affecting the working area inside the cabinet 12, it can increase storage space convenient for users, improving space utilization.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a first lifting drive assembly 31 and a second lifting drive assembly 32, both of which are located inside the cabinet 12. The output end of the first lifting drive assembly 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tabletop 11, and the output direction of the first lifting drive assembly 31 is upward. The first lifting drive assembly 31 can be a hydraulic push rod, an electric push rod, etc. Taking an electric push rod as an example, it consists of a motor, a screw, a nut, etc. The motor rotates, driving the screw to rotate, and the nut moves linearly on the screw, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the push rod. One end of the electric push rod is fixed to the installation position inside the cabinet 12, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the tabletop 11. When the electric push rod extends or retracts, it can drive the tabletop 11 to rise or fall. The output end of the second lifting drive assembly 32 is connected to the bottom of the second adjusting island 2, and is used to drive the second adjusting island 2 to rise or fall. The second lifting drive assembly 32 can also be a hydraulic push rod or an electric push rod, and its working principle is similar to that of the first lifting drive assembly 31.

[0029] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 The cabinet 12 has a first mounting slot 121, and the first lifting drive assembly 31 is installed in the first mounting slot 121. The first mounting slot 121 provides installation space and a fixed position for the first lifting drive assembly 31, ensuring its stable operation. A second mounting slot 122 is also provided along the length of the side wall of the cabinet 12, and the second lifting drive assembly 32 is installed in the second mounting slot 122. The second mounting slot 122 allows the second lifting drive assembly 32 to be reasonably installed on the side wall of the cabinet 12, and its length-oriented arrangement facilitates its driving of the second adjusting island 2 to rise and fall.

[0030] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3A lateral translation component 4 is located at the bottom of the second adjustment island 2 and connected to the second lifting drive component 32, used to drive the second adjustment island 2 to move along its own length. The lateral translation component 4 includes a drive element 41, a lead screw 42, and a slider 43. The output end of the drive element 41 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate. The lead screw 42 is threadedly connected to the slider 43, and the side wall of the slider 43 is fixedly connected to the second lifting drive component 32. The drive element 41 can be a motor, which drives the lead screw 42 to rotate. Since the slider 43 is fixed, the rotation of the lead screw 42 will move within the slider 43, thereby driving the second adjustment island 2 to move. The lead screw 42 is typically a ball screw 42, which has high transmission efficiency and precision. The slider 43 has a threaded hole that mates with the lead screw 42, achieving movement through threaded transmission.

[0031] The position of the second mounting slot 122 is just beyond the edge of the projection of the tabletop 11. When the second adjustment island 2 moves along its own length direction to the side of the first adjustment island 1 under the drive of the lead screw 42, the second lifting drive assembly 32 is also located at the bottom edge of the second adjustment island 2. At the same time, the second lifting drive assembly 32 drives the second adjustment island 2 to descend. This allows the second adjustment island 2 to fit seamlessly with the edge of the tabletop 11 of the first adjustment island 1, or the gap is small, so as not to affect normal use.

[0032] Of course, in order to ensure that the horizontal translation component 4 can move the second adjustment island 2 to the designated position, a limit component can also be set at the bottom of the second adjustment island 2. When the second adjustment island 2 moves away from the first adjustment island 1, the limit component at the bottom of the second adjustment island 2 will abut against the slider 43, thereby determining the position where the horizontal translation component 4 stops working. At this time, the second adjustment island 2 will descend and fit perfectly with the first adjustment island 1 to form a long and complete desktop.

[0033] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the second adjustment island 2 is provided with a groove 21, and the lateral translation component 4 is installed in the groove 21. The groove 21 provides installation space for the lateral translation component 4, so as not to affect the normal use of the second adjustment island 2, and also protects the lateral translation component 4. When the second adjustment island 2 moves above the first adjustment island 1, the design of the groove 21 ensures that the bottom of the second adjustment island 2 will not affect the table surface 11, avoiding the need to add other devices that would cause scratches and wear to the surface of the table surface 11, thus affecting its appearance.

[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4A support assembly 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second adjustment island 2. The support assembly 5 can be extended and retracted according to the height of the second adjustment island 2. The support assembly 5 includes two nested support columns 51 and a telescopic assembly 52. ​​The telescopic assembly 52 is installed inside the support columns 51 and is used to drive the extension and retraction of the two support columns 51. The support columns 51 can be cylindrical or square metal columns. The two support columns 51 are nested together. The telescopic assembly 52 can be a small electric push rod or hydraulic device. When the telescopic assembly 52 works, it pushes the two support columns 51 to extend and retract relative to each other, thereby adapting to the height changes of the second adjustment island 2. At the same time, the telescopic assembly 52 works synchronously with the second lifting drive assembly 32, so that both ends of the second adjustment island 2 are supported, resulting in force balance.

[0035] Furthermore, the device also includes a moving component, which is located at the bottom of the cabinet 12 and the support component 5. Each moving component is equipped with a braking component. The moving component can be casters, allowing the island to move freely. The braking component can be a brake device, which stops the casters from rotating when the island's position needs to be fixed.

[0036] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 A supporting steel frame 6 is also provided on the outer side of the second lifting drive assembly 32. The supporting steel frame 6 provides support for the second adjusting island 2. The supporting steel frame 6 is generally welded from steel, which has high strength and stability, ensuring the smooth operation of the second adjusting island 2 during lifting. A fixed limiting component is provided on the side wall of the supporting steel frame 6 to limit its movement. The fixed limiting component can be a limiting block or a limiting pin, which, in conjunction with the cabinet 12 or other components, prevents the supporting steel frame 6 from shifting during operation. The supporting steel frame 6 prevents the supporting connection between the second adjusting island 2 and the second lifting drive assembly 32 from being achieved solely through the telescopic rod of the second lifting drive assembly 32, thus preventing excessive localized stress and potential safety hazards. Therefore, the supporting steel frame 6 improves the support effect for the second adjusting island 2.

[0037] The overall adjustment, such as the first lifting drive component 31, the second lifting drive component 32, the telescopic component 52, and the lateral translation component 4, all work together through the control center. Other storage cabinets can also be set up next to the first adjustment island 1. The control buttons are set on the platform above the storage cabinets. There are multiple buttons, corresponding to multiple modes, such as dining mode, bar mode, etc. The motor action corresponding to each mode is a set of drives, and the linkage of lights can also be included.

[0038] Figure 5The initial position of the island device is that the second adjustable island 2 is stacked on top of the tabletop 11 of the first adjustable island 1. When one of the mode buttons is pressed, the second lifting drive assembly 32 and the telescopic assembly 52 first raise the second adjustable island 2 a certain distance, so that the second adjustable island 2 is away from the tabletop 11. Then, the lateral translation assembly 4 drives the second adjustable island 2 to move along its own length. The moving component located at the bottom of the support assembly 5 facilitates the movement of the second adjustable island 2 and the support assembly 5, away from the first adjustable island 1. When the slider 43 touches the limit member, the lateral translation assembly 4 stops working, and the second lifting drive assembly 32 and the telescopic assembly 52 then lower the second adjustable island 2 until it is flush with the edge of the first adjustable island 1, thus forming a complete long table. (Refer to...) Figure 6 As shown.

[0039] Of course, other modes require the overall desktop to be higher. Therefore, the first lifting drive component 31 will drive the first adjustment island 1 to rise to the specified height, and then the second adjustment island 2 will move to the same height to complete the overall adjustment of the desktop.

[0040] After the device is used, it is returned to its initial state, that is, the first adjustment island 1 and the second adjustment island 2 are stacked one on top of the other, thereby reducing the space occupied. Then the user can push the device to move it to a reasonable position. When in use, it can also be pushed to the corresponding position, which is convenient and quick.

[0041] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The mobile, height-adjustable, multi-functional island platform of this embodiment achieves height and length adjustment by setting up a lifting mechanism 3 and a lateral translation component 4. The first lifting drive component 31 drives the platform 11 to rise and fall, the second lifting drive component 32 drives the second adjustable island platform 2 to rise and fall, and the lateral translation component 4 drives the second adjustable island platform 2 to move along its length. The support component 5 can adapt to the height changes of the second adjustable island platform 2, the moving component allows the island platform to move freely, and the braking component can fix the position of the island platform. The supporting steel frame 6 and the fixed limit component ensure the stability of the island platform. These designs enable the island platform to be adjusted according to different usage sites and actual needs. Compared with traditional fixed structure island platforms, it greatly improves adaptability and meets the user's needs in different scenarios, which is a significant improvement over the prior art.

[0042] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
