Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dining table technology, specifically an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects. Background Technology
[0002] A dining table is a table used by people to eat, commonly found in hotel buffets and other similar settings. Its design emphasizes functionality, such as using an island layout to optimize space utilization, placing tables in a specific order to guide customer flow, and maintaining reasonable spacing to ensure smooth food retrieval. In terms of decoration, lighting design is emphasized to enhance the atmosphere, and safety protection measures such as anti-scalding and anti-slip measures must be considered. The selection of wall, floor, and ceiling decoration materials must take into account both aesthetics and durability. Flowers, artworks, or practical tableware are often placed on the dining table as decorations.
[0003] While dining tables come in a variety of styles, they still have certain problems: 1) The light and shadow effects are flat, relying only on ordinary light strips to provide basic lighting or simple light effects, resulting in a weak visual experience; 2) Dynamic switching and completeness are mutually exclusive. Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects, including a base; a rectangular outer frame mounted on the base; a top cover mounted on the top of the outer frame, the top cover having a hollow center and a single lens embedded therein; a reflector located at the center of the top of the base; and a pattern switching mechanism mounted inside the outer frame.
[0006] The pattern switching mechanism includes:
[0007] Four vertical columns are fixed on the base, and three equidistant rollers are installed horizontally between adjacent columns;
[0008] There are two sets of eight guide rollers in total, with four rollers in each set arranged in a rectangle. The two sets of guide rollers are arranged parallel to each other at the four corners of the inner wall of the outer frame, and there are mounting seats between adjacent guide rollers. The guide rollers are fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame by the mounting seats.
[0009] The drive assembly contains eight drive shafts arranged in two rectangular groups, one above the other. Each drive shaft has bevel gears installed at both ends. The bevel gears at the ends of adjacent drive shafts mesh with each other. Sprockets are fitted at both ends of the drive shafts. The sprockets between the upper and lower groups of drive shafts are connected by a chain drive. A motor for driving one of the drive shafts is installed on the inner wall of the outer frame.
[0010] The patterns on the four pattern rolls are wound up at the ends onto the drive shaft. The patterns are then wound around the upper and lower guide rollers and the roller shaft in sequence to form a double-layer rectangular display surface with the display surface facing the center.
[0011] Four light strips are fixed longitudinally to the inner sides of the four columns to fill the gaps formed by the rectangular edges of the four patterned rollers due to the obstruction of the bearings and bevel gears.
[0012] In practical use, the four sets of retractable pattern rolls, together with a double-layer guide roller and roller shaft system, enable dynamic switching of the background pattern of the Abyss Mirror: the motor drives the eight-axis synchronous structure of bevel gear meshing, which drives multiple sets of pattern rolls to be wound and unwound synchronously, so that the display surface wrapped around the guide roller and roller shaft is updated in real time; at the same time, the light strips on the inside of the column continuously fill the mechanical gaps throughout the pattern switching process, ensuring that the depth of light and shadow of the Abyss Mirror is always seamless during dynamic switching, giving the dining table an immersive and variable scene experience.
[0013] Preferably, the outer frame is hinged to two sides with a flip-up table, and the bottom of the flip-up table is provided with a support frame for unfolding support.
[0014] In actual use, when unfolded, the tabletop and top cover are flush to form a complete dining surface, and the support frame provides stable support, making the dining table both a display of light and shadow and a practical dining table.
[0015] Preferably, the two ends of the drive shaft are fitted with bearing seats, and the drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the middle section of the inner wall of the outer frame through the bearing seats.
[0016] In practical use, the bearing is fixed to the middle section where the outer frame has the strongest rigidity to suppress torsional vibration during eight-axis synchronous transmission and ensure smooth pattern switching; the mounting seat in the middle section avoids the upper and lower guide rollers to avoid mechanical interference and ensure that the pattern roll winding and unwinding path is unobstructed.
[0017] Preferably, the mounting base of each set of guide rollers is fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the outer frame.
[0018] Preferably, the light-emitting surface of the light strip faces the central axis of the dining table, and its width covers the gap between the column and the pattern roll.
[0019] In practical use, the light strips oriented towards the central axis of the dining table and their width precisely cover the gaps, continuously projecting light to fill the mechanical gaps between the column and the roll when the pattern roll is dynamically switching. This ensures that the double-layered surrounding pattern reflected by the reflector always presents a seamless sense of light and shadow depth, simultaneously enhancing the visual effect of the abyss mirror and ensuring visual continuity during the dynamic switching process.
[0020] Preferably, the motor and a drive shaft are connected by a sprocket and belt drive.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] Through the collaborative innovation of a dual-layer dynamic pattern switching mechanism and the inner light strips of the columns, the real-time variability of the abyss mirror effect is achieved within the limited space of the dining table: the eight-axis synchronous drive system ensures that the display surface is accurately positioned when the four sets of pattern rolls are rolled up and down, while the directional light strips continuously cover the mechanical gaps, so that the depth of light and shadow reflected by the reflector is always seamless; combined with the spatial deformation capability of the flipped table, the embedded dining table is given an unprecedented immersive and variable scene experience, solving the core defects of the existing technology of static abyss mirror, mechanical structure destroying visual integrity and single function.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0036] Example:
[0037] Please see Figures 1-9 This utility model provides a technical solution: an embedded dining table with light and shadow effects, including a base 10; a rectangular outer frame 20 installed on the base 10; a top cover 30 installed on the top of the outer frame 20, the top cover 30 being hollowed out in the middle and embedding a single lens 40; a reflector 70 located at the top center of the base 10; and a pattern switching mechanism 60 installed inside the outer frame 20.
[0038] Pattern switching mechanism 60 includes:
[0039] Four vertical columns 610 are fixed on the base 10, and three equidistant rollers 620 are horizontally installed between adjacent columns 610.
[0040] There are two sets of eight guide rollers 630, with four rollers in each set arranged in a rectangular pattern. The two sets of guide rollers 630 are arranged parallel to each other at the four corners of the inner wall of the outer frame 20, and mounting seats 640 are provided between adjacent guide rollers 630, which are fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame 20 by the mounting seats 640.
[0041] The drive assembly 650 includes eight drive shafts 651 arranged in two rectangular groups, one above the other. Each drive shaft 651 has a bevel gear 652 installed at both ends. The bevel gears 652 at the ends of adjacent drive shafts 651 mesh with each other. Sprockets 654 are sleeved at both ends of the drive shafts 651. The sprockets 654 between the upper and lower groups of drive shafts 651 are connected by a chain belt 655. A motor 656 for driving one of the drive shafts 651 to rotate is installed on the inner wall of the outer frame 20.
[0042] The pattern ends of the four pattern rolls 670 are wound onto the drive shaft 651, and the patterns are sequentially wound around the upper and lower guide rollers 630 and the roller shaft 620 to form a double-layer rectangular display surface with the display surface facing the center.
[0043] Four light strips 660 are respectively fixed longitudinally on the inner side of the four columns 610 to fill the gaps formed by the rectangular edges of the four pattern rolls 670 due to the obstruction of the bearing 653 and the bevel gear 652.
[0044] In practical use, the four sets of pattern rolls 670 that can be wound up, together with the double-layer guide rollers 630 and roller shaft 620 system, realize the dynamic switching of the background pattern of the Abyss Mirror: the motor 656 drives the eight-axis synchronous structure of the bevel gear 652 to drive the multiple sets of pattern rolls 670 to be wound up and unwound synchronously, so that the display surface wound on the guide rollers 630 and roller shaft 620 is updated in real time; at the same time, the light strip 660 inside the column 610 continuously fills the mechanical gaps throughout the pattern switching process, ensuring that the depth of light and shadow of the Abyss Mirror is always seamless during dynamic switching, giving the dining table an immersive and variable scene experience.
[0045] Preferably, the outer frame 20 is hinged to both sides with a flip table 50, and the bottom of the flip table 50 is provided with a support frame 510 for unfolding support.
[0046] In actual use, when unfolded, the tabletop 50 and the top cover 30 are flush to form a complete dining surface, and the support frame 510 provides stable support, so that the dining table can be used for both light and shadow display and dining practicality.
[0047] Preferably, the two ends of the drive shaft 651 are fitted with bearing seats 653, and the drive shaft 651 is rotatably mounted on the middle section of the inner wall of the outer frame 20 through the bearing seats 653.
[0048] In practical use, the bearing seat 653 is fixed to the middle section of the outer frame 20 where the rigidity is strongest, suppressing torsional vibration during eight-axis synchronous transmission and ensuring smooth pattern switching; the mounting seat 640 of the middle section avoids the upper and lower guide rollers 630 to avoid mechanical interference and ensure that the pattern roll 670 has a smooth winding and unwinding path.
[0049] Preferably, the mounting base 640 of each set of guide rollers 630 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the outer frame 20.
[0050] Preferably, the light-emitting surface of the light strip 660 faces the central axis of the dining table, and its width covers the gap between the column 610 and the pattern roll 670.
[0051] In practical use, the light strip 660, oriented towards the central axis of the dining table, and its width precisely cover the gaps. When the pattern roll 670 is dynamically switching, light is continuously projected to fill the mechanical gap between the column 610 and the roll, so that the double-layered surrounding pattern reflected by the reflector 70 always presents a seamless sense of light and shadow depth, and simultaneously achieves the enhancement of the abyss mirror visual effect and ensures the visual continuity of the dynamic switching process.
[0052] Preferably, the motor 656 and a drive shaft 651 are connected by a sprocket and belt drive.
[0053] Working principle: When a user observes the reflector 70 at the center of the base 10 through the single lens 40 of the top cover 30, the light sequentially follows the path to create an infinite depth effect: Ambient light penetrates the single lens 40 → shines on the reflector 70 → the reflected light is partially reflected by the single lens 40 to form the first layer of virtual image → the virtual image is reflected again by the reflector 70, generating multiple layers of decreasing virtual images in a cycle, forming a visual "abyss"; the display surfaces of the four pattern rolls 670 are positioned by the rollers 620 and the double-layer guide rollers 630, forming a surrounding image towards the center → the reflector 70 reflects this image to the single lens 40, causing dynamic patterns to be superimposed in the abyss; the light strip 660 inside the column 610 projects light towards the central axis, covering the mechanical gap generated when the pattern rolls 670 are retracted and extended in real time → ensuring that the image reflected by the abyss mirror is without discontinuity; the motor 656 drives the drive shaft 651, which is meshed with eight bevel gears 652, to rotate synchronously through the sprocket and chain belt → The four sets of patterned scrolls 670 can be retracted and expanded to update the display surface, enabling dynamic switching of the abyss scene.
