Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of office furniture technology, and in particular relates to a table structure in which a metal plate is embedded in a wooden desktop. Background Technology
[0002] Existing wooden tables are popular due to their wood grain, which gives each table a unique natural beauty and easily creates a warm and elegant home atmosphere. However, wooden tables, supported only by wood, gradually reveal several problems over time. Wood itself has a certain moisture content and will shrink and swell with changes in ambient humidity. In dry seasons, the wood loses moisture and is prone to cracking; in humid environments, it may absorb moisture and expand, causing structural deformation. Both of these factors make the wooden tabletop prone to cracking and damage, significantly shortening the table's lifespan. Furthermore, relying solely on wood for support has a relatively low load-bearing capacity, making it difficult to support heavy items. For scenarios requiring the placement of large appliances, books, or other heavy objects, such wooden tables cannot meet the user's needs, thus limiting their application range to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a table structure in which a metal plate is embedded in a wooden tabletop, so as to solve the technical problems of existing wooden tables being easily damaged and having low load-bearing capacity.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided in this application is as follows:
[0007] A table structure with a metal plate embedded in a wooden tabletop includes: a metal table body with multiple connecting columns protruding outward from its outer side; and multiple decorative panels made of wood that are disposed corresponding to a predetermined area on the outer surface of the table body. Each decorative panel has a connecting hole on one side of the metal table body for inserting the connecting columns.
[0008] By incorporating protruding connecting columns on the outer surface of the metal tabletop and embedding them into the holes of the wooden decorative panel, the rigid support of the metal frame increases the load-bearing capacity by 2-3 times. The protrusion-hole matching structure makes the connecting parts invisible on the outer surface of the table, maintaining a clean and simple overall structure. From the side, the dual-layer structure of metal and wood adds a sense of depth to the table, enhancing its appeal to consumers. It preserves the aesthetic appeal of the wood grain while strengthening the overall structure with a metal frame. Furthermore, the modular design between the wooden and metal panels allows for replacement of damaged wooden panels without replacing the entire table, reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, the protrusion-hole matching structure effectively distributes the stress on the wooden panels, preventing cracking caused by stress concentration when the wood and metal are connected, thus extending the table's lifespan.
[0009] In some embodiments, the metal table body further includes: a support panel and support legs located at the bottom of the support panel, and a reinforcing steel beam located at the bottom of the support panel and perpendicular to the length direction of the support panel;
[0010] The addition of horizontal metal reinforcing beams further enhances the structural strength of the metal table and improves its load-bearing capacity.
[0011] In some embodiments, the surface of the support panel is provided with a lead hole and a wire passage groove that is connected to the lead hole at one end. The decorative panel is provided with an outlet hole for the wire passing through the wire passage groove at the other end of the wire passage groove.
[0012] By creating cable channels on a metal plate, the mechanical strength of the metal plate ensures cable routing while avoiding the loss of wood strength caused by creating channels in the wood. The wires are routed within the cable channels of the metal plate, and the ends are led out from the cable outlet holes in the decorative panel to connect to the electrical equipment. This allows the cables to be completely hidden, and the entire table structure achieves a "wireless" desktop appearance.
[0013] In some embodiments, the surface of the metal table body is coated with an insulating and corrosion-resistant layer;
[0014] By setting an insulating and anti-corrosion layer, the metal table can be protected from rust, eliminating the potential for electrical conductivity and meeting office furniture safety standards.
[0015] In some embodiments, the inner side of the metal table body protrudes outward to form a plurality of connecting posts that are interlocked with the insertion holes of the decorative panel;
[0016] Setting decorative panels on the inner side of a metal table can achieve a double-sided decorative effect, and the decorative panels on both the inner and outer sides can also protect the metal panel. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0025] This utility model provides a table structure with a metal plate embedded in a wooden tabletop, which is composed of a metal frame and a wooden veneer. Specifically, the metal table body 1 is integrally cast from a high-strength alloy material, and its outer surface is formed with an array of cylindrical connecting columns 101 through a stamping process. The decorative panel 2 that matches it is made of solid wood or composite wood board, and blind holes are precisely machined at the positions corresponding to the connecting columns 101. During installation, the wooden panel is vertically pressed onto the surface of the metal table body 1, so that the connecting columns 101 and the blind holes form an interference fit. This design improves the load-bearing capacity of the wooden table structure.
[0026] Furthermore, in the bottom structure of the metal tabletop 1, the support panel and support legs are formed using an integrated casting process. Below the length of the support panel, three horizontal reinforcing steel beams 104 are spaced apart. These steel beams are fixed to the main frame using laser welding, and their cross-sections are trapezoidal to enhance bending resistance. Specifically, tests have shown that this reinforced structure allows the center of the tabletop to bear a load of over 350 kg, which is 2.8 times greater than that of traditional wooden tabletops.
[0027] Specifically, the other side of the metal table 1 can be attached to the cabinet.
[0028] Based on this, the surface of the metal table body 1 is also designed with a hidden wiring structure. Specifically, a cable hole 103 is opened on the top surface of the support panel, and then a cable channel 102 with a depth of 8mm and a width of 15mm is milled. The inner wall of the channel is polished and pre-installed with an elastic rubber cable sleeve. One end of the cable channel 102 is connected to the cable hole 103. The wooden decorative panel 2 has a semi-circular cable outlet hole with a diameter of 20mm at the other end of the corresponding cable channel 102. A removable silicone sealing ring is embedded in the hole. A socket 3 is provided on the cabinet. When wiring, the top decorative panel 2 is removed first. After the power cord plug is connected to the socket 3, it passes through the cable hole 103, runs along the cable channel 102, and finally leads out from the cable outlet hole to connect to the computer or other electrical equipment. Then the top decorative panel 2 is closed. Specifically, there can be multiple cable trays 102. A cable outlet hole is provided at the other end of each cable tray 102 on the wooden decorative panel 2, allowing multiple power cords to be led out and connected to different electrical devices. For example, in addition to powering a computer, a power cord can be led out from another cable tray 102 to connect to a wireless charging pad, enabling wireless charging. This wiring system not only achieves concealed routing of power and data cables but also avoids the loss of strength of the wooden decorative panel 2 caused by slotting it.
[0029] To ensure the durability of the metal tabletop 1, a double-layer protective coating is applied to the frame surface using an electrostatic spraying process. The bottom layer is a 50μm thick epoxy anti-corrosion primer, and the top layer is covered with an 80μm thick polyurethane insulation layer. This coating system effectively prevents environmental moisture from corroding the metal material while ensuring electrical safety.
[0030] Furthermore, connecting posts 101 are also provided on the inner surface of the metal table body 1, allowing the installation of the inner decorative panel 2 to form a symmetrical composite structure. Specifically, the inner wooden panel is made of moisture-resistant birch plywood, which is bonded to the metal table body 1 using the same pressing process. This double-sided composite design not only enhances the aesthetics of the table body but also isolates the metal surface from direct contact with the air through the wooden layer, further slowing down the metal oxidation process.
[0031] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
