Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of office appliances, in particular to a table with a stable structure. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, work and social activities, it is inevitable to use a table. People put things on the table and work on the table. A spacious desk can not only improve work efficiency, but also create a comfortable working environment, allowing users to better organize work items and keep them tidy. Therefore, users hope to have a large enough desktop for them to use.

[0003] In order to cater to users' needs for office desks, manufacturers have enlarged and widened the desktop so that more things can be placed on the desktop. This brings up a problem. Although the desktop has become larger, manufacturers still use conventional I-shaped support frames to support the desktop. The so-called I-shaped support frame includes a crossbeam and side beams extending from both ends of the crossbeam. This support frame has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, but is relatively simple in shape and mostly uses a wooden structure. Moreover, when heavy objects are placed on the edge of the desktop, it is very likely to cause the desktop to bend, deform, and crack. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a table with a stable structure, which uses an inner frame composed of multiple horizontal and vertical connecting beams and an outer frame made of hollow pipes of a preset shape welded together to form a support frame to replace the traditional I-shaped support frame; using a support frame with a more stable structure, users can not only install a more diverse range of tabletops on it, such as glass panels, making the table more recognizable and beautiful in appearance, but also make the table more stable and not easily deformed or damaged when subjected to force.

[0005] The technical solution of the present utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A structurally stable table comprises a table top and a support assembly, wherein the support assembly includes table legs that contact the ground, a support frame that supports the table top, and table legs between the support frame and the table legs. The support frame comprises an inner frame and an outer frame surrounding the inner frame. The outer frame is made of a hollow tube of a predetermined shape. When the table top is mounted on the support frame, the edge of the table top is flush with the upper edge of the outer frame.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of support members are fixedly provided on the inner area of the edge of the bottom surface of the table top, and the inner frame as a whole is lower than the outer frame; when the table top and the supporting frame are assembled and installed, the edge of the table top is at the upper end of the outer frame, and the table top is supported on the inner frame by the support members; the support members play the role of supporting the table top.

[0008] Preferably, the support member is a pancake-shaped body, and the support member is fixed to the bottom surface of the table top by gluing. On the one hand, the gluing method is simple and does not require adding more parts. On the other hand, the support member is glued to the corresponding position of the bottom surface of the table top when leaving the factory, which can also reduce the user's installation steps.

[0009] Preferably, a positioning structure is provided between the support member and the inner frame. The positioning structure includes a latch and a socket. The latch is provided on one of the support member and the inner frame, and the socket is provided on the other of the support member and the inner frame. When the tabletop and the support frame are assembled, the latch is inserted into the socket. Using the latch to assemble the tabletop and the support frame is simpler and more convenient, and also provides a positioning function, limiting the horizontal freedom of the tabletop.

[0010] Preferably, a positioning structure is provided between the support member and the inner frame. The positioning structure includes a bolt, a through-hole, and a threaded hole. The threaded hole is provided on the bottom surface of the support member, and the through-hole is provided at a corresponding position on the inner frame. When the tabletop and support frame are assembled and installed, the threaded hole aligns with the through-hole, and the bolt passes through the through-hole and screws into the threaded hole, thereby securing the support member and the inner frame together. The bolt not only serves to position the tabletop and support frame during installation but also prevents the positioning member from falling out of the hole during subsequent use, thereby securing the tabletop.

[0011] Preferably, when the table top and the supporting frame are assembled and installed, the edge of the table top is directly placed on the upper end of the outer frame; not only the support members in the frame provide support for the table top, but the outer frame also plays a supporting role, making the overall structure of the table more stable.

[0012] Preferably, when the table top and the supporting frame are assembled and installed, a gap is left between the edge of the table top and the upper end of the outer frame, and a soft cushioning layer is filled in the gap. The soft cushioning layer prevents the table top from making hard contact with the outer frame, thereby preventing the supporting frame from damaging the table top.

[0013] Preferably, the inner frame is composed of multiple connecting beams intersecting horizontally and vertically, with the upper surfaces of the connecting beams being lower than the upper end surface of the outer frame to form a step. Because the support member is a thick, pancake-shaped structure, in order to ensure that both the support member and the outer frame can provide support for the tabletop, a gap between the upper surface of the outer frame and the lower surface of the tabletop would appear abrupt, creating a sense of discontinuity in the overall appearance and making the furniture appear less compact or stable. Therefore, the upper surfaces of the connecting beams are lower than the upper end surface of the outer frame.

[0014] Preferably, the table top is rectangular as a whole, and the inner frame is composed of multiple connecting beams that cross horizontally and vertically, and the height of the upper surface of the connecting beam is lower than the height of the upper end surface of the outer frame; a plurality of diagonal braces are also provided between the inner frame and the outer frame, and the diagonal braces are located in the inner area of the corners of the outer frame, and the two ends of the diagonal braces are welded and fixed to the corresponding positions on the inner side of the outer frame, and the lower ends of some support members stand on the corresponding connecting beams, and the lower ends of some support members stand on the corresponding diagonal braces; on the one hand, since the support members are pancake-shaped bodies with thickness, in order to enable both the support members and the outer frame to provide support for the table top; on the other hand, if there is a gap between the upper surface of the outer frame and the lower surface of the table top, it will appear abrupt, giving the overall appearance a sense of discontinuity, and making the furniture appear less compact or stable, so the height of the upper surface of the connecting beams and the diagonal braces is lower than the height of the upper end surface of the outer frame. The diagonal braces are provided because the triangular structure is more stable and not easy to deform, and can further strengthen the outer frame.

[0015] Preferably, the upper ends of the table legs are connected to the inner frame via angle irons. One side of the angle iron is pre-bolted or welded to the table legs. When the table legs are assembled with the inner frame, the other side of the angle iron rests against a corresponding position on the inner frame and is then bolted in place. Directly bolting the inner frame to the table legs can be difficult and inconvenient, but using angle irons makes installation much easier. First, place the inner frame on the angle irons, then tighten the bolts.

[0016] Preferably, the table top is a glass plate or an acrylic plate; the glass table top has a more fashionable shape, can be matched with other furniture, is not affected by air humidity, will not be deformed due to moisture, and is safe, environmentally friendly and easy to clean; the acrylic table top has a variety of shapes, is lightweight and environmentally friendly, and is more impact-resistant and not easy to break.

[0017] Preferably, the thickness of the table top is 1-3 mm. Since a more stable supporting frame plays a supporting role, a table top with a thickness of 1-3 mm can still meet people's daily use and will not cause insufficient supporting force due to the table top being too thin.

[0018] The principle and beneficial effects of the present invention using the above technical solution are:

[0019] 1. An inner frame is provided to provide support for the inside of the table top, and an outer frame is provided which is made of a hollow tube of a preset shape. On the one hand, it contacts the edge of the table top and also supports the table top. On the other hand, the outer frame can hide the internal support structure, making the table look more beautiful as a whole. A more stable supporting frame is formed by the inner frame and the outer frame surrounding the inner frame. Not only can users install a variety of table tops on it, such as glass panels, making the table more recognizable and beautiful in appearance, but it also makes the table more stable and not easily deformed or damaged when subjected to force.

[0020] 2. This utility model uses the support member design to simultaneously support the tabletop and position it during installation. Furthermore, the corresponding positioning mechanism can be used to meet the different needs of different users. For example, if the user's table is fixed in one position after installation and will not be moved, then a latch-type positioning mechanism is very suitable and convenient for the user to install.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] The specific implementation of the utility model is as follows:

[0031] See also Figure 1-6, this embodiment proposes a structurally stable table, comprising: a table top 1 and a supporting assembly, the supporting assembly comprising table legs 4 in contact with the ground, a supporting frame 2 supporting the table top 1, and table legs 3 between the supporting frame 2 and the table legs 4. The innovation of the present utility model lies in the design of a supporting frame 2, comprising an inner frame 22 and an outer frame 21 surrounding the outer periphery of the inner frame 22, the outer frame 21 being made of a hollow tube of a preset shape, the advantage of this supporting frame 2 is that the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22 are welded together, and compared with the traditional I-beam, the structure is more stable and the force is more balanced; the supporting frame 2 with a more stable structure can be matched with a more beautiful table top 1. And in order to make the overall look of the table more harmonious, after the table top 1 is installed on the supporting frame 2, the edge of the table top 1 is flush with the upper edge of the outer frame 21.

[0032] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of support members 5 are fixedly provided in the inner area of the edge of the bottom surface of the table board 1. In order to make the force uniform, the support members 5 are evenly adhered to the lower surface of the table board 1. When the table board 1 is assembled with the supporting frame 2, the edge of the table board 1 is at the upper end of the outer frame 21. The table board 1 is supported on the inner frame 22 by the support members 5. The support members 5 also play the role of supporting the table board 1. The inner frame 22 is lower than the outer frame 21 as a whole. This is because the support members are installed on the inner frame. In order to avoid the table board 1 being too high above the supporting frame 2 after the installation, resulting in an overall disharmonious look.

[0033] Furthermore, the support member 5 can be set as a pancake-shaped body, such as an aluminum round pancake, and the support member 5 is fixed to the bottom surface of the table top 1 by gluing; on the one hand, the gluing method is simple and does not require adding more parts. In addition, when leaving the factory, the support member 5 is glued to the corresponding position of the bottom surface of the table top 1, which can also reduce the user's installation steps.

[0034] In one embodiment, a positioning structure is provided between the support member 5 and the inner frame 22. The positioning structure includes a pin and a socket. The pin is provided on one of the support member 5 and the inner frame 22, and the socket is provided on the other of the support member 5 and the inner frame 22. When the table top 1 and the support frame 2 are assembled and installed, the pin is inserted into the socket. Using the pin to assemble the table top 1 and the support frame 2 makes the use and installation of the pin simpler and more convenient. It also provides a positioning function. The pin limits the horizontal freedom of the table top 1. If the user's usage scenario does not involve frequently moving the table and the table is fixed in one position for use, then the installation method of using the pin is very appropriate.

[0035] In another embodiment, a positioning structure is provided between the support member 5 and the inner frame 22. The positioning structure includes a bolt (not shown), a through hole 24, and a threaded hole 51. The threaded hole 51 is provided on the bottom surface of the support member 5, and the through hole 24 is provided at a corresponding position on the inner frame 22. When the table top 1 and the support frame 2 are assembled and installed, the threaded hole 51 is aligned with the through hole 24, and the bolt passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole 51 to securely connect the support member 5 and the inner frame 22 together. The bolt not only serves to position the table top 1 and the support frame 2 when they are assembled, but also serves to secure the table top 1 during subsequent use. When the user needs to frequently move the table, the bolt installation method can prevent the bolt from falling out of the threaded hole 51. The combination of the bolt and the threaded hole 51 limits the freedom of the table top 1 in the height direction.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the outer frame 21 is a hollow knife-shaped tube. The knife-shaped tube outer frame 21 is manufactured by the following steps: first cutting, then bending, and finally welding. The manufacturer receives a straight, unbent knife-shaped tube. First, the material is cut at the location where the bend is required, the bend is performed, and then the material at the bend is welded. Finally, the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22 are welded together.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the table top 1 is assembled with the supporting frame 2, the edge of the table top 1 directly rests on the upper end of the outer frame 21; not only the support members within the frame provide support for the table top, but the outer frame also plays a supporting role, making the overall structure of the table more stable.

[0038] In another embodiment, when the table top 1 is assembled and installed with the supporting frame 2, a gap is left between the edge of the table top 1 and the upper end of the outer frame 21, and a soft cushioning layer is filled in the gap. The soft cushioning layer prevents the table top from making hard contact with the outer frame, thereby preventing the supporting frame from damaging the table top 1.

[0039] As an embodiment, the inner frame 22 is composed of multiple connecting beams 22a that intersect horizontally and vertically. The upper surfaces of the connecting beams 22a are lower than the upper end surface of the outer frame 21 to form a step. The lower ends of the support members 5 stand on the corresponding connecting beams 22a. On the one hand, because the support members 5 are thick, pancake-shaped bodies, in order to ensure that both the support members 5 and the outer frame 21 can provide support for the table top, on the other hand, if there is a gap between the upper surface of the outer frame 21 and the lower surface of the table top 1, it will appear abrupt, adding a sense of discontinuity to the overall appearance and making the furniture appear less compact or stable. Therefore, the upper surface of the connecting beams 22a is set lower than the upper end surface of the outer frame.

[0040] As another embodiment, the table top 1 is rectangular as a whole, and the inner frame 22 is composed of multiple connecting beams 22a that cross horizontally and vertically. The height of the upper surface of the connecting beam 22a is lower than the height of the upper end surface of the outer frame 21; a plurality of diagonal braces 23 are also provided between the inner frame 22 and the outer frame 21. The diagonal braces 23 are located in the inner area of the corner of the outer frame 21, and the two ends of the diagonal braces 23 are welded and fixed to the corresponding positions on the inner side of the outer frame 21. The lower ends of some support members 5 stand on the corresponding connecting beams 22a, and the lower ends of some support members 5 stand on the corresponding diagonal braces 23.

[0041] On the one hand, because the support member 5 is a pancake-shaped body with a certain thickness, in order to ensure that both the support member 5 and the outer frame 21 can provide support for the table top 1; on the other hand, if there is a gap between the upper surface of the outer frame 21 and the lower surface of the table top 1, it will appear abrupt, giving the overall appearance a sense of discontinuity and making the furniture appear less compact or stable. Therefore, the height of the upper surface of the connecting beam 22a and the diagonal brace 23 is lower than the height of the upper end surface of the outer frame 21. The diagonal brace 23 is provided because the triangular structure is more stable and less prone to deformation, and it can further strengthen the outer frame.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the table leg 3 is connected to the inner frame 22 via an angle iron 8. One side of the angle iron 8 is pre-bolted or welded to the table leg 3. When the table leg 3 and the inner frame 22 are assembled, the other side of the angle iron 8 rests on the corresponding position of the inner frame 22 and is then locked with bolts. If the inner frame 22 and the table leg 3 are directly connected with bolts, the user will have difficulty tightening the bolts. However, using the angle iron 8 makes installation easier. First, the inner frame 22 is placed on the angle iron 8, and then the bolts are tightened.

[0043] The table top 1 can be set as a glass plate or an acrylic plate; the glass table top 1 has a more fashionable shape, can be matched with other furniture, is not affected by air humidity, will not be deformed due to moisture, and is safe, environmentally friendly and easy to clean; the acrylic table top 1 has a variety of shapes, is lightweight and environmentally friendly, and is more impact-resistant and not easy to break.

[0044] The thickness of the table top 1 is 1-3 mm. Since the more stable supporting frame 2 plays a supporting role, the table top 1 with a thickness of 1-3 mm can still meet people's daily use and will not cause insufficient supporting force due to the table top 1 being too thin.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, a groove 21a is provided on one side of the outer frame 21, and a manual control part 6 is installed in the groove 21a. A connecting rod is horizontally connected between the two table legs 3, and a motor 7 is installed on the connecting rod. At the same time, the motor is fixed to one side of the table leg by bolts. The manual control part 6 is electrically connected to the motor 7. The table leg is a sleeve structure with a built-in screw transmission mechanism, and the two ends of the connecting rod are inserted into the table leg to cooperate with the screw transmission mechanism. This is a conventional structure, not the invention point of this patent, so it will not be elaborated on. By driving the motor 7 by the manual control part 6, the extension and retraction of the table legs can be controlled to achieve the purpose of controlling the height of the desktop.

[0046] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
