Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of conference room table boxes, and more particularly to a modular conference room table box. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of applications such as digital conferencing, remote communication, multimedia presentations, and blended learning, the demand for connectivity of various electronic devices in meeting spaces is also increasing. To meet the needs of power supply, audio-visual output, and network connectivity, most meeting rooms are equipped with "meeting table boxes" on the tabletops as a unified interface for users to plug in various communication and power cables.
[0003] Traditional conference table boxes are mostly enclosed or pre-assembled designs, with their internal sockets and terminal modules pre-configured by the manufacturer, such as power outlets, RJ45 network ports, HDMI ports, and USB interfaces. While this type of design offers some convenience in standardized manufacturing and initial installation, it has the following significant drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Traditional desktop boxes can only be shipped according to the pre-defined modules provided by the manufacturer. Users cannot replace or add the required communication ports according to the actual needs of the conference room or the type of equipment. If the module configuration needs to be changed, it is usually necessary to order a desktop box with exclusive specifications from the manufacturer. This not only results in long delivery time and high cost, but also requires the original manufacturer to be relied on for future maintenance and expansion, causing inconvenience and burden in use.
[0005] 2. Since most of them are fully enclosed structures, when a module fails, the entire desktop box must often be disassembled for replacement or repair, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also not conducive to future upgrades and modifications.
[0006] 3. Existing table box designs lack flexibility in installation methods and cannot adapt to tabletop structures of different thicknesses or materials, often requiring additional adjustments or construction, which increases the difficulty of construction.
[0007] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a modular conference room table box that is flexible, highly versatile, quick to assemble and disassemble, convenient to install, and allows users to configure different power modules and communication modules according to their actual needs. It is particularly suitable for application environments such as conference spaces, classrooms, multimedia presentation areas, training centers, and smart office settings. Utility Model Content
