[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a modular dining table.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A modular dining table includes a table body 1, which is a rectangular body with a hollow interior. When not in use, the chairs can be stored inside the table body 1. Sliding units 2 are symmetrically arranged on the table body 1. Since the two sliding units 2 have the same structure and connection method, one of the sliding units 2 will be used as an example for explanation.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 The sliding unit 2 includes a first door panel 21, a second door panel 22, and a driving mechanism 23 for driving the first door panel 21 to slide relative to the second door panel 22. When the first door panel 21 is in the closed state, it is set at the same horizontal plane as the second door panel 22. A avoidance angle is provided on the side of the second door panel 22 near the first door panel 21 to avoid the sliding of the first door panel 21. The avoidance angle is wedge-shaped. By using the avoidance angle, the first door panel 21 can slide smoothly to the rear of the second door panel 22.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The table body 1 has a support plate 11 welded inside. The drive mechanism 23 includes a first guide rail 231, a second guide rail 232, a rack 233, and a drive assembly 234 for driving the rack 233 to slide. The first guide rail 231 and the second guide rail 232 are arranged in parallel and are both welded to the support plate 11. A connecting plate 2331 is welded to one end of the rack 233. A first wheel 235 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 2331. A second wheel 236 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rack 233. The first wheel 235 is rolled on the first guide rail 231, and the second wheel 236 is rolled on the second guide rail 232.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A first welding plate 211 and a second welding plate 212 are vertically welded to the first door panel 21. The end of the first welding plate 211 away from the first door panel 21 is welded to the first wheel body 235, and the end of the second welding plate 212 away from the first door panel 21 is welded to the second wheel body 236. Thus, the first welding plate 211 and the second welding plate 212 can smoothly drive the first door panel 21 to move in position.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rack 233 is driven by the drive component 234 to move the first wheel 235 within the first guide rail 231. At the same time, the rack 233 also drives the second wheel 236 within the second guide rail 232. With the help of the first welding plate 211 and the second welding plate 212, the first wheel 235 and the second wheel 236 can work together to drive the first door panel 21 to slide smoothly and steadily, so as to facilitate the user to control the opening or closing of the first door panel 21.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 234 includes a first fixed base 2341, a second fixed base 2342, a drive shaft 2343, and a drive motor 2344. The first fixed base 2341 and the drive motor 2344 are both fixed to the support plate 11 by bolts. The second fixed base 2342 is fixed to the table body 1 by bolts. The two ends of the drive shaft 2343 in the length direction are respectively rotatably connected to the first fixed base 2341 and the second fixed base 2342. A gear 23431 is coaxially welded on the drive shaft 2343. The rack 233 and the gear 23431 form a meshing transmission. The drive shaft 2343 and the output shaft of the drive motor 2344 are coaxially fixed.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The first guide rail 231 is provided with a first turning angle 2311 to facilitate the turning of the first wheel 235, and the second guide rail 232 is provided with a second turning angle 2321 to facilitate the turning of the second wheel 236. By using the first turning angle 2311 and the second turning angle 2321, the first door panel 21 can turn smoothly during the sliding process, reducing the possibility of jamming or damage to the first door panel 21 due to poor turning, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the first door panel 21 during the sliding process.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A ball bearing 213 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the first door panel 21. Multiple ball bearings 213 are provided. In this embodiment, four ball bearings 213 are provided. Any one of the ball bearings 213 is rolled on the table body 1, thereby causing the first door panel 21 to roll on the table body 1, which further enhances the stability and smoothness of the sliding of the first door panel 21, and also helps to reduce friction and noise during the sliding process.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The table body 1 is equipped with third wheels 12 for easy movement by the user and electric cylinders 13 for driving the third wheels 12 to rise and fall. The third wheels 12 are installed at the four corners of the table body 1, that is, there are four third wheels 12 and four electric cylinders 13. The piston rod of any electric cylinder 13 is connected to the corresponding third wheel 12. The arrangement of the third wheels 12 makes it easy for the user to move or adjust the position of the table body 1. The electric cylinders 13 drive the third wheels 12 to rise and fall, so that the user can adjust the height of the third wheels 12 as needed, thereby adjusting the movement and fixing of the table body 1. When the table body 1 does not need to be moved, the user can control the third wheels 12 to retract, so that the table body 1 is slowly placed on the ground, thereby reducing the space occupied. When the table body 1 needs to be moved, the user can control the third wheels 12 to extend, making it easy for the user to move the table body 1, thus improving the flexibility and practicality of the table body 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 The first door panel 21 is provided with a slot 214 for easy pushing and pulling by the user. The slot 214 allows the user to manually open or close the first door panel 21 as needed, so that the first door panel 21 can be manually opened even when the drive motor 2344 is not working, thus improving the practicality and convenience of the first door panel 21.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The table body 1 is equipped with a control board 14 for controlling the drive motor 2344 to drive or stop. The user can start or stop the drive motor 2344 through the control board 14 as needed, thereby conveniently opening or closing the first door panel 21, which increases the automation and convenience of the dining table.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 A first auxiliary wheel 2351 is rotatably connected to the first wheel body 235, and the first auxiliary wheel 2351 is rolled on the inner wall of the first guide rail 231. A second auxiliary wheel 2361 is rotatably connected to the second wheel body 236, and the second auxiliary wheel 2361 is rolled on the inner wall of the second guide rail 232.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 The first auxiliary wheel 2351 helps the first wheel body 235 roll more smoothly on the first guide rail 231, reducing the friction between the first wheel body 235 and the first guide rail 231. The second auxiliary wheel 2361 helps the second wheel body 236 roll more smoothly on the second guide rail 232, reducing the friction between the second wheel body 236 and the second guide rail 232, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the sliding of the first door panel 21.

[0046] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: In actual operation, the user operates the drive motor 2344 through the control board 14 to drive the first door panel 21 to move relative to the second door panel 22, thereby opening the storage space inside the table body 1. At the same time, the sliding unit 2 is symmetrically arranged, that is, there are two of each of the first door panel 21 and the second door panel 22, which makes it convenient for the user to access the chair from both sides of the table body 1.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
