Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to a smart electric dining table for business use. Background Technology

[0002] In social settings such as business banquets and high-end gatherings, the dining table is not only a carrier of food, but also a core facility for maintaining dining order and enhancing the social experience. With the intelligent development of the catering industry, electric rotating tables can automatically rotate the tabletop through motor drive, allowing diners to take food from their plates without getting up. Its core advantage lies in replacing manual tray rotation with mechanical transmission, improving the convenience of taking food and optimizing dining efficiency.

[0003] While existing electric dining tables have solved the problem of the inconvenience of reaching dishes that are far away with traditional tables, they still have significant limitations in actual business dining scenarios. Because the tabletop is constantly rotating, if the diner fails to pick up the desired dish in time (e.g., while talking, handling tableware, or serving food to others), the dish will continue to move with the tray. This means the diner has to wait for the tray to complete a full rotation before they can pick up the dish again, which not only prolongs the waiting time but may also disrupt the dining rhythm and the continuity of business communication due to frequent waiting. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart electric dining table for business use, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that electric dining tables cannot keep the dishes in front of the diners for a short time when rotating.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution, including a dining table base. A motor is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the dining table base. The output shaft of the motor is movably connected to the inner wall of the dining table base. A dial is fixedly connected to the surface of the motor output shaft. Two grooved wheels mesh with the rear side of the dial. A rotating rod is connected between the two grooved wheels via an installation structure. The upper and lower sides of the rotating rod are movably connected to the inner wall of the dining table base via splined shafts. A gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod. A gear ring meshes with a planetary gear on the surface of the gear. The upper and lower sides of the planetary gear are movably connected to the inner wall of the dining table base via rotating shafts. The surface of the gear ring is movably connected to the inner wall of the dining table base. The top of the gear ring extends to the outer side of the dining table base and is fixedly connected to a tray. An opening is provided on the right side of the dining table base, and a sealing structure is connected to the right side opening of the dining table base.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting structure includes four positioning rings, two of which are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of one of the grooved wheels. The inner cavity of the positioning ring is tightly fitted with the rotating rod. Threaded holes are provided on the surfaces of both the positioning ring and the rotating rod. The threaded holes on the positioning ring and the rotating rod are aligned, and screws are threaded into the inner cavities of the threaded holes.

[0007] Preferably, the sealing structure includes a mounting shell, the left side of which is connected to the table base by bolts, and a T-shaped groove is provided on the right side of the bottom of the table base. A T-shaped block is movably connected to the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove, and the bottom of the T-shaped block is fixedly connected to the mounting shell.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the table base, a groove is provided on the top of the fixing ring, a support ring is movably connected to the inner cavity of the groove, and the top of the support ring is fixedly connected to the tray.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This solution uses the output shaft of a motor to drive a dial to rotate. During this rotation, the dial drives a grooved wheel, which in turn drives a rotating rod. The rotating rod then drives a gear, which in turn meshes with a planetary gear to drive a gear ring. The gear ring then drives a tray to rotate. When the food on the tray rotates to the diner's position, the dial separates from the grooved wheel, and the rotating rod stops rotating. When the dial and grooved wheel reconnect, the food on the tray moves towards the next diner, thus achieving the purpose of the electric dining table briefly bringing the food to the diner's attention while rotating.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a smart electric dining table for business use, including a table base 1. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the table base 1. The output shaft of the motor 2 is movably connected to the inner wall of the table base 1. A dial 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the output shaft of the motor 2. A grooved wheel 4 is engaged on the rear side of the dial 3. There are two grooved wheels 4. A rotating rod 5 is connected between the two grooved wheels 4 through an installation structure. The upper and lower sides of the rotating rod 5 are movably connected to the inner wall of the table base 1 through spline shafts. A gear 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 5. A gear ring 7 is engaged with the surface of the gear 6 through planetary gears. The upper and lower sides of the planetary gears are movably connected to the inner wall of the table base 1 through rotating shafts. The surface of the gear ring 7 is movably connected to the inner wall of the table base 1. The top of the gear ring 7 extends to the outer side of the table base 1 and is fixedly connected to a tray 8. An opening is provided on the right side of the table base 1. A sealing structure is connected to the right side opening of the table base 1.

[0021] Analysis of the above: When the intelligent electric dining table is in use, the output shaft of motor 2 drives the dial 3 to rotate. During the rotation of dial 3, the grooved wheel 4 rotates. The pin on the edge of dial 3 rotates synchronously with dial 3. As the pin gradually approaches the radial groove of grooved wheel 4, due to the guiding effect of the contact surface, the pin can accurately align with the groove and smoothly embed itself. At this time, the pin applies a driving force to grooved wheel 4 through the radial groove, causing grooved wheel 4 to rotate synchronously with dial 3. Grooved wheel 4 drives rotating rod 5 to rotate, rotating rod 5 drives gear 6 to rotate, gear 6 meshes with planetary gears to drive gear ring 7 to rotate, and gear ring 7 drives tray 8 to rotate. When the dishes on tray 8 are rotated to the diner's position, the pin on dial 3 moves out of the radial groove of the grooved wheel 4, and the rotating rod 5 stops rotating. The rotating rod 5 is firmly fixed by the spline shaft. When the pin on dial 3 is inserted into the new radial groove, the grooved wheel 4 is driven to rotate again, and the dishes continue to move to the next diner. Throughout the entire operation, the relationship between dial 3 and grooved wheel 4 serves as a transmission reference, ensuring smooth and precise switching between "rotation-pause-rotation". This perfectly meets the core requirement of "each dish briefly lingering in front of the customer" in business banquets, thus fulfilling the purpose of the electric dining table to briefly linger the dishes in front of the diner when it rotates.

[0022] Example 2:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the installation structure includes four positioning rings 9, two of the positioning rings 9 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of one of the grooved wheels 4 respectively, the inner cavity of the positioning ring 9 is tightly fitted with the rotating rod 5, threaded holes are opened on the surfaces of the positioning ring 9 and the rotating rod 5, the threaded holes on the positioning ring 9 and the rotating rod 5 are aligned, and screws 10 are threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the threaded holes.

[0024] Analysis of the above content: When the staff needs to replace or repair the grooved wheel 4, first open the sealing structure to expose the internal components of the table base 1 from the opening. Then, the staff removes the screw 10 from the surface of the positioning ring 9. When the screw 10 is completely removed from the threaded hole, the positioning ring 9 and the rotating rod 5 separate, and the grooved wheel 4 also separates from the rotating rod 5. At this time, the staff can remove the grooved wheel 4 from the opening, thus completing the installation.

[0025] Example 3:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the sealing structure includes a mounting shell 11, the left side of the mounting shell 11 is connected to the dining table base 1 by bolts, a T-shaped groove 12 is provided on the right side of the bottom of the dining table base 1, a T-shaped block 13 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove 12, and the bottom of the T-shaped block 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 11.

[0027] Analysis of the above content: After the staff installs the internal components of the dining table base 1, the staff can use bolts to install the mounting shell 11 on the opening of the dining table base 1 to seal it. At the same time, during installation, the T-shaped block 13 enters the T-shaped groove 12, so that the top of the mounting shell 11 can be connected to the dining table base 1. This prevents the mounting shell 11 from tilting or falling before the bolts are fully tightened due to gravity. At the same time, the T-shaped fit can also share the load-bearing pressure of the bolts, reduce the fatigue damage caused by the bolts continuously bearing the weight of the mounting shell 11, indirectly extend the service life of the bolts, and ensure the long-term stability of the sealing effect.

[0028] Example 4:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: a fixing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the dining table base 1, a sliding groove is provided on the top of the fixing ring 14, a support ring 15 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and the top of the support ring 15 is fixedly connected to the tray 8.

[0030] Analysis of the above content: By setting the fixed ring 14 and the support ring 15 in cooperation, the pallet 8 drives the support ring 15 to move in the groove at the top of the fixed ring 14 during the rotation. The support ring 15 further supports the pallet 8, preventing the pallet 8 from radially shifting, shaking or even tilting due to uneven force or load fluctuation during the rotation.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this utility model, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
