Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of office desks, and in particular to a support frame for an office desk. Background Technology
[0002] Office desks (such as office desks or conference tables) have different functional requirements than traditional desks due to the characteristics of their usage scenarios. One major difference is that office desks need to support more electrical appliances, such as computers, printers, and mobile phones. This requires office desks to be equipped with sockets. However, the power cords of the sockets and the data cables between the computer monitor and the host will increase the clutter at the bottom of the office desk and affect its appearance. Therefore, most existing technologies hide the cables inside the support frame of the office desk, that is, the cables are routed inside the support frame, so that the cables are not visible at the bottom of the office desk.
[0003] However, existing office desk support frames have the following problems: Following the common renovation process, the office desk is usually installed first, and then the electrician or other personnel install the electrical outlets themselves. This means the people installing the desk and those laying the cables are not the same group. Office desk support frames generally include legs, crossbeams, and longitudinal beams. To conceal the outlet cables within the support frame, existing frames have channels within both the legs and crossbeams. These channels have openings at the ends to allow cables to enter. The main difficulty for those installing the outlets is pushing the cables through these channels. Similarly, office workers encounter similar problems when laying computer cables themselves. While the legs are typically only 60-80cm high, making it relatively easy for people to pass cables through, the crossbeams are becoming increasingly longer with modern desks, resulting in longer channels within them. These longer channels make it difficult to push cables in, leading to difficulties in cable management. Therefore, it is necessary to improve upon the existing technology to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a support frame for office desks, which aims to solve the problem of cable routing difficulties caused by the long length of the crossbeam in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a support frame for an office desk, including legs, a crossbeam assembly connected between the legs, and multiple longitudinal beams connected to both sides of the crossbeam assembly. The crossbeam assembly includes a crossbeam and at least two slot covers. The crossbeam forms a receiving slot with an opening facing downward for placing cables. The slot covers cover the bottom of the receiving slot and support the cables. The slot covers can slide laterally relative to the crossbeam. After some or all of the slot covers slide, they can cover more than 95% of the receiving slot. After some or all of the slot covers slide, an operating hole can be formed between the slot covers or between the slot covers and the legs. The operating hole is used to connect the outside world with the receiving slot.
[0006] Furthermore, two adjacent slot covers are arranged in a manner that is either one larger than the other or one on top of the other, so that adjacent slot covers can overlap.
[0007] Furthermore, in the transverse direction, the length of the slot cover is 30cm-50cm, and the length of the resulting operating hole is greater than 5cm.
[0008] Furthermore, the crossbeam assembly includes two crossbeams, with a receiving groove formed between the two crossbeams. The opposite sides of the two crossbeams each have a sliding cutout extending laterally. The groove cover is provided with sliding ears extending to both sides. The sliding ears are inserted into the sliding cutouts and can slide within the sliding cutouts, so that the groove cover is slidably connected between the two crossbeams.
[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam is a rectangular tube, the sliding cut is a laser cut; the slot cover is a sheet metal part, and the sliding ear has a flat structure.
[0010] Furthermore, the crossbeam is provided with an installation notch, which is a laser notch that connects the top surface of the crossbeam through the side to the sliding notch, or the installation notch is a laser notch that connects the bottom surface of the crossbeam through the side to the sliding notch; in the transverse direction, the length of the installation notch is greater than or equal to the length of the sliding lug, and in the longitudinal direction, the width of the installation notch is greater than or equal to the width of the sliding lug.
[0011] Furthermore, the trough cover is provided with through holes.
[0012] Furthermore, the middle part of the crossbeam assembly is connected to an upper support foot, which is a hollow structure and is connected to the receiving groove. With the upper support foot as the dividing line, three or more groove covers are respectively provided on both sides of the upper support foot.
[0013] Furthermore, assembly notches are opened on the opposite sides of the two crossbeams, and the longitudinal beams are provided with hooks. The hooks hook the sides of the crossbeams with the help of the assembly notches, so that the longitudinal beams are installed on the crossbeams.
[0014] Furthermore, the assembly cut includes a short cut and a high cut arranged side by side and interconnected in the transverse direction, and the hook lug includes a connecting part and a hook part extending from the longitudinal beam. The height of the short cut is greater than the height of the connecting part, and the height of the high cut is greater than the height of the hook part. When installing the longitudinal beam, the hook part enters the high cut, and then the longitudinal beam is translated so that the connecting part is located in the short cut, and the hook lug hooks onto the side of the crossbeam.
[0015] This utility model provides a support frame for an office desk. The receiving groove of its crossbeam assembly is covered by a sliding cover. When cable routing is required, the cover is moved to create an operating hole, allowing personnel to directly operate the cable through the operating hole or by inserting their hand through the operating hole into the receiving groove to operate the cable, making cable handling relatively easy. Since there are two or more covers, each cover is not too long, and the relative movement between the covers allows the operating hole to be moved to different positions, ensuring that cables located anywhere within the receiving groove are accessible to personnel, thus reducing the difficulty of cable routing. After cable routing is completed, when all covers are moved to cover the receiving groove to the maximum extent, the cable is supported and concealed, preventing cables from falling or being exposed at the bottom of the office desk, resulting in high aesthetics and safety. Therefore, this office desk support frame effectively solves the problem of difficult cable routing caused by long crossbeams. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below.
[0030] In this embodiment, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "set in," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through one or more intermediate media. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this embodiment based on the specific circumstances. The directional terms appearing in this embodiment are for the purpose of better describing the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them. It should be understood that when the placement direction of this embodiment changes, the direction of the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them also changes accordingly. Therefore, directional terms do not constitute an absolute limitation on the characteristics of the features and the relationships between them in space, but only a relative limitation.
[0031] This utility model provides a support frame for an office desk, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the system includes a tripod 1, a crossbeam assembly 2 connected between the tripods 1, and multiple longitudinal beams 3 connected to both sides of the crossbeam assembly 2. The crossbeam assembly 2 includes a crossbeam 21 and at least two slot covers 22. The crossbeam 21 forms a receiving slot 23 with an opening facing downward for placing cables. The slot cover 22 is used to cover the bottom of the receiving slot 23 and support the cables. The slot cover 22 can slide laterally relative to the crossbeam 21. After some or all of the slot cover 22 slides, it can cover more than 95% of the receiving slot 23. After some or all of the slot cover 22 slides, it can also form an operating hole 24 between the slot covers 22 or between the slot cover 22 and the tripod 1. The operating hole 24 is used to communicate with the outside world and the receiving slot 23.
[0032] Based on the above structural design, the receiving slot 23 of this type of office desk is covered by a sliding cover 22. When cable routing is required, such as... Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, the operating hole 24 is formed by moving the slot cover 22. Personnel can directly operate the cable through the operating hole 24 or insert their hand through the operating hole 24 into the receiving slot 23 to operate the cable, making cable operation relatively easy. Since there are two or more slot covers 22, each slot cover 22 is not too long, and the relative movement between the slot covers 22 can move the operating hole 24 to different positions, allowing personnel to access cables located anywhere within the receiving slot 23, thereby reducing the difficulty of cable routing. After the cable routing is completed, as... Figure 3 As shown, when all the slot covers 22 are moved to cover the receiving slot 23 to the maximum extent, the cables are supported and covered by the slot covers 22. There are no cables falling or exposed at the bottom of the office table, which is both aesthetically pleasing and safe.
[0033] In this embodiment, two adjacent slot covers 22 are arranged in a manner that is either one larger than the other or one on top of the other, so that adjacent slot covers 22 can overlap. Overlapping adjacent slot covers 22 allows for a larger opening of the operating hole 24, making it more convenient for staff to operate.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length of the slot cover 22 is 30cm-50cm in the transverse direction, and the length of the resulting operating hole 24 is greater than 5cm. The above-mentioned size setting makes it easier for personnel to reach their hands into the receiving slot 23, and the length of the slot cover 22 of 30cm-50cm allows personnel to reach their hands from one operating hole 24 to another, making wiring operations more convenient.
[0035] In this embodiment, the crossbeam assembly 2 includes two crossbeams 21, with a receiving groove 23 formed between them. Sliding slits 211 extending laterally are respectively opened on opposite sides of the two crossbeams 21. The groove cover 22 is provided with sliding ears 221 extending to both sides. The sliding ears 221 are inserted into the sliding slits 211 and can slide within them, so that the groove cover 22 is slidably connected between the two crossbeams 21. Preferably, the crossbeams 21 are rectangular tubes, the sliding slits 211 are laser-cut, the groove cover 22 is a sheet metal part, and the sliding ears 221 have a flat structure. Using the above structure and processing method, the sliding connection structure can achieve sufficiently high strength for the crossbeam assembly 2, while also being easy to process and having low processing costs.
[0036] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 21 is provided with an installation notch 212, which is used to install the sliding lug 221 of the slot cover 22 into the sliding notch 211. Figure 6As shown, the mounting notch 212 is a laser-cut notch that connects the top surface of the crossbeam 21 through its side to the sliding notch 211. In this structure, when assembling an office desk, the slot cover 22 needs to be installed onto the crossbeam 21 first, and then the desk board is installed. After the desk board covers the top of the mounting notch 212, the slot cover 22 cannot be removed from the crossbeam 21 to prevent it from falling off. Alternatively, as... Figure 7 As shown, the mounting notch 212 is a laser-cut notch that extends from the bottom surface of the crossbeam 21 through its side to the sliding notch 211. In this structure, the slot cover 22 can be installed retrofitted, and it can be removed from the crossbeam 21 and reinstalled via the mounting notch 212. Removing the entire slot cover 22 from the crossbeam 21 makes cable routing easier. In the transverse direction, the length of the mounting notch 212 is greater than or equal to the length of the sliding lug 221, and in the longitudinal direction, the width of the mounting notch 212 is greater than or equal to the width of the sliding lug 221. This structural arrangement allows the sliding lug 221 to be installed onto the sliding notch 211 via the mounting notch 212.
[0037] In this embodiment, the slot cover 22 is provided with a through hole 222. The through hole 222 serves as the point of action for personnel to move the slot cover 22. After personnel insert their fingers into the through hole 222, they can easily move the slot cover 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, an upper cable support 4 is connected to the middle of the crossbeam assembly 2. The upper cable support 4 has a hollow structure and is connected to the receiving groove 23. Using the upper cable support 4 as a boundary, three or more groove covers 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper cable support 4. The upper cable support 4 is located in the middle of the crossbeam assembly 2, allowing the cable to pass through the middle of the crossbeam assembly 2 and then enter the receiving grooves 23 on both sides. The cooperation of the three or more groove covers 22 allows the operating hole 23 to be moved to different positions, improving the flexibility and convenience of wiring.
[0039] In this embodiment, assembly notches 213 are respectively opened on the opposite sides of the two crossbeams 21, and the longitudinal beam 3 is provided with hook lugs 31. The hook lugs 31 hook onto the side of the crossbeams 21 through the assembly notches 213, so that the longitudinal beam 3 is installed on the crossbeams 21. The above-described installation structure is simple to process and efficient and convenient to assemble. Specifically, the assembly notches 213 include a short notch 2131 and a high notch 2132 arranged side by side and interconnected in the transverse direction. The hook lugs 31 include a connecting part 311 and a hook part 312 extending from the longitudinal beam 3. The height of the short notch 2131 is greater than the height of the connecting part 311, and the height of the high notch 2132 is greater than the height of the hook part 312. When installing the longitudinal beam 3, the hook part 312 enters the high notch 2132, and then the longitudinal beam 3 is translated so that the connecting part 311 is located in the short notch 2131, and the hook lugs 31 hook onto the side of the crossbeam 21. Of course, after the above assembly, the longitudinal beam 3 can still move relative to the crossbeam 21. In actual assembly, screws are needed to fix the longitudinal beam 3 to the tabletop, and then the longitudinal beam 3 can no longer move. This installation structure can reduce the use of screws and is more efficient during assembly.
[0040] In summary, the support frame of this type of office desk can solve the problem of cable management difficulties caused by the long length of the crossbeam.
[0041] Where there is no conflict, the above embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the preferred technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of this utility model.
