Abstract
Description
A side table structure with switchable form Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of side table technology, and in particular to a side table structure with switchable form. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee tables or side tables, as common household items, are widely used in living rooms, bedrooms, and other places, mainly for temporary placement of items or providing auxiliary storage. To improve the utilization of storage space, existing side tables typically adopt a design that combines a base and a tabletop, creating storage space between them for items such as remote controls, magazines, and small electronic devices. Because this storage space is usually an open structure, items placed within it are prone to falling off due to bumps or movement, affecting the user experience. To solve this problem, some products add a ring-shaped cover between the base and the tabletop to prevent items from slipping. However, this design has the following issues:
[0003] The ring cover is usually fixed by multiple screws, which makes the disassembly process cumbersome. Users need to use tools such as screwdrivers to complete the operation, which cannot meet the user's need to disassemble or install the ring cover according to the usage requirements.
[0004] The screw fixing method of the ring cover not only increases the complexity of disassembly, but may also cause stripping of the screws during frequent disassembly and assembly, leading to loosening or failure of the connection structure and reducing the service life of the product. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a switchable side table structure with a ring cover that is easy to assemble and disassemble and requires no tools.
[0006] A switchable side table structure designed for this purpose includes a base, a tabletop on top of the base, and a storage space formed by the base and tabletop. The base is connected to an upward-extending annular cover, which is connected to multiple locking rods. The base has through holes corresponding to the positions of the locking rods, through which the locking rods extend to the top of the base. The locking rods on the top of the base have locking notches. The tabletop is rotatably mounted relative to the base and is fixedly connected to a locking plate. The locking plate has multiple locking protrusions arranged in a circumferential array. The locking protrusions can be inserted into or disengaged from the locking notches as the tabletop rotates relative to the base.
[0007] Preferably, the annular cover is provided with a base plate, which is fitted and connected to the lower surface of the base.
[0008] Preferably, the base is provided with a connecting column, the table is connected to a rotating sleeve, and the connecting column extends and inserts into the rotating sleeve;
[0009] The connecting column is provided with an annular groove, and the rotating sleeve is threadedly connected to a limit bolt, which is movably inserted into the annular groove.
[0010] Preferably, the connecting column extends downward relative to the base, and the base plate is provided with a positioning sleeve, which is inserted into the connecting column.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this invention, under the rotation of the locking plate, can drive the locking protrusion to rotate with the tabletop relative to the base, inserting into or disengaging from the locking slot. When the locking protrusion is inserted into the locking slot, the locking rod cannot move downward relative to the base, thus constraining the position of the annular cover and the base. When the locking protrusion is completely disengaged from the locking slot, the locking rod is no longer constrained, allowing the annular cover to move downward relative to the base, and the locking rod to move downward relative to the through hole to achieve disengagement. This invention requires no tools for connection or disassembly, meeting user needs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Referring to Figures 1-3, a switchable side table structure includes a base 10, a tabletop 20 on top of the base 10, and a storage space formed by the base 10 and the tabletop 20. The base 10 is connected to an upwardly extending annular cover 30, which is connected to multiple locking rods 410. The base 10 has through holes 100 corresponding to the positions of the locking rods 410, and the locking rods 410 extend through the through holes 100 to the top of the base 10. The locking rods 410 above the base 10 are provided with locking notches 411. The tabletop 20 is rotatably mounted relative to the base 10 and is fixedly connected to a locking plate 420. The locking plate 420 is arranged with multiple locking protrusions 421 in a circumferential array. The locking protrusions 421 can be inserted into or disengaged from the locking notches 411 as the tabletop 20 rotates relative to the base 10. In this embodiment, the rotation of the locking plate causes the locking protrusion to rotate relative to the base, allowing it to insert into or disengage from the locking slot. When the locking protrusion is inserted into the locking slot, the locking rod cannot move downward relative to the base, thus constraining the position of the annular cover and the base. When the locking protrusion is completely disengaged from the locking slot, the locking rod is no longer constrained, allowing the annular cover to move downward relative to the base, and the locking rod to move downward relative to the through hole to disengage. This invention eliminates the need for tools for connection or disassembly, meeting user needs.
[0024] Referring to Figure 2, the annular cover 30 is provided with a base plate 310, which is fitted and connected to the lower surface of the base 10. The base plate 310 is provided to connect the locking rod 410 and is fitted and connected to the base 10, thereby improving the connection stability. Furthermore, the base plate 310 and the annular cover 30 are an integral structure, and the locking rod 410 is welded and fixed to the base plate 310.
[0025] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the base 10 is provided with a connecting post 110, and the tabletop 20 is connected to a rotating sleeve 210. The connecting post 110 extends and inserts into the rotating sleeve 210. The connecting post 110 is provided with an annular groove 120, and the rotating sleeve 210 is threadedly connected to a limiting bolt 50, which is movably inserted into the annular groove 120. In this embodiment, the insertion and engagement of the limiting bolt 50 with the annular groove 120 effectively restricts the vertical movement of the rotating sleeve 210, ensuring that the rotating sleeve 210 can only rotate relative to the connecting post 110 and cannot move vertically relative to it.
[0026] Referring to Figure 2, the connecting post 110 extends downward relative to the base 10, and the base plate 310 is provided with a positioning sleeve 320, which is inserted into the connecting post 110. This design further improves the installation stability of the annular cover 30.
[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
