Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of furniture, and in particular to an office desk. Background Technology
[0002] In today's office environment, the office furniture industry continues to develop, and desks, as a crucial component, have a profound impact on office efficiency and the environment through advancements in design and function. With changing times, office needs are becoming increasingly diverse and demanding. From early, simple office requirements to today's pursuit of efficient collaboration and comfortable experiences, desk design is constantly evolving. A well-designed desk can improve employee comfort, boost work enthusiasm, and ultimately increase work efficiency. At the same time, a reasonable desk layout helps optimize office space, creating a more organized and efficient work environment. With the rapid development of technology and profound changes in work methods, people have higher demands for the functionality and user experience of desks, such as better storage and more convenient operation. Currently, desks on the market typically use a fixed tabletop combined with drawers. Drawers serve as the primary storage space, and existing desks use a sliding design, with drawers sliding and engaging with rails on the tabletop to achieve the desired pull-out action. To increase storage space, some desks feature multiple sliding drawers arranged vertically or horizontally to meet different storage needs. Existing sliding drawer designs have significant drawbacks. Firstly, sliding drawers require considerable space to open, impacting the overall layout and efficiency of the office area. Secondly, the drawer's opening and closing mechanism is not flexible enough, limiting the movement to a limited area along the pull-out direction. For example, if a user is working on the opposite side of the desk drawer, they cannot directly open it and must instead walk around to the pull-out side to retrieve items. This fails to meet the diverse needs of different users regarding desk functionality and layout. Utility Model Content
[0003] To improve the flexibility of drawer use and enable all-around drawer pull-out, thus meeting the diverse needs of different users for desk functions and layout, this application provides a desk.
[0004] This application provides an office desk, including a desk body and at least one drawer. The desk body is provided with a receiving cavity. The drawer is rotatably connected to the desk body via a rotating structure. The drawer can rotate 360°. When the drawer is in the receiving cavity, the drawer is in a closed state. When the drawer rotates to 180° and is exposed outside the receiving cavity, the drawer is in a fully open state. When the drawer rotates 360°, the state of the drawer is sequentially closed, fully open, and closed. By adopting the above technical solution, since the drawer is rotatably connected to the desk via a rotating structure and can rotate 360°, compared to existing sliding drawers, the rotating drawer does not require a large straight-line space in the pull-out direction when opened. This avoids the problem of the drawer occupying a large space and affecting the overall spatial layout and utilization efficiency of the office area, thus improving the flexibility and space utilization efficiency of the office area layout. Simultaneously, the drawer can rotate 360°, allowing users to directly rotate it to the fully open state to retrieve items regardless of their position on the desk, without having to go around to the pull-out side to open the drawer as with existing sliding drawers. This meets the diverse needs of different users for desk functions and layouts. Preferably, the drawer includes a cover and a drawer body. The cover is fixedly connected to the desk body, the drawer body can rotate 360°, and the drawer body is provided with a mounting protrusion and a storage slot. The cover fits over the drawer body and covers the opening of the storage slot, and the mounting protrusion is provided with mounting holes. By adopting the above technical solution, the drawer body is provided with mounting protrusions and storage slots. The cover plate closes on top of the drawer body and covers the opening of the storage slot, which can protect the items in the storage slot, preventing them from falling or being contaminated by external dust, etc. Furthermore, the mounting holes provided by the mounting protrusions provide a foundation for the subsequent installation of the rotating structure, facilitating the rotation function of the drawer body. Preferably, the rotating structure includes a rotating shaft and a flat thrust ball bearing. The rotating shaft passes through the mounting holes of the cover plate and the drawer body in sequence, achieving a rotatable connection through the flat thrust ball bearing. By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating structure uses a rotating shaft and a flat thrust ball bearing. The rotating shaft passes through the mounting holes of the cover plate and the drawer body in sequence. The flat thrust ball bearing can withstand axial loads, allowing the rotating shaft to achieve a stable and flexible rotatable connection when passing through the mounting holes of the cover plate and the drawer body. Because the flat thrust ball bearing can reduce friction during rotation, the drawer rotates more smoothly, thus enabling the drawer to rotate 360° flexibly, overcoming the shortcomings of existing sliding drawers that are inflexible in opening and closing and occupy a large amount of space. Preferably, it also includes a connecting shaft, and the number of the drawers and the rotating structure are three in total. The three drawers are stacked vertically in the receiving cavity, and each of the three drawer bodies can rotate 360° independently. The three rotating shafts are hollow tubular structures, and the connecting shaft passes through the three rotating shafts in sequence to achieve coaxial connection.By adopting the above technical solution, since there are three drawers and three rotating structures stacked vertically within the receiving cavity, the drawers can rotate independently 360°. The three rotating shafts are hollow tubular structures connected coaxially by a connecting shaft running through them sequentially. This allows the three drawers to share a single connecting shaft, ensuring independent rotation of each drawer while reducing the need for multiple additional support structures, thus lowering structural complexity and production costs. Preferably, the table includes support legs, a cabinet, and a panel positioned above the support legs and cabinet. The cabinet has the receiving cavity, with its opening facing away from the support legs. By adopting this technical solution, since the support legs support the table, positioning the receiving cavity opening away from the support legs prevents interference with the support legs when the drawers are rotated and opened, allowing for smoother 360° rotation and convenient opening from different directions. This satisfies the diverse needs of different users for desk functionality and layout, improving the space utilization efficiency and flexibility of the office area. Preferably, the cabinet includes a base plate and an arc-shaped side plate, which together form the receiving cavity. The arc-shaped side plate is located between the receiving cavity and the support leg. By adopting the above technical solution, the base plate and the arc-shaped side plate of the cabinet form the receiving cavity. Since the arc-shaped side plate is located between the receiving cavity and the support leg, during the use of the desk, the support leg bears pressure from the desktop and placed items. The arc-shaped side plate can disperse and transmit some of the pressure, reducing the impact on the internal structure of the receiving cavity, ensuring the stability of the receiving cavity, and thus providing stable space for the rotation of the drawer. It also makes the overall structure of the desk more stable and durable. Preferably, the inner wall of the arc-shaped side plate is provided with several limiting protrusions at intervals. Each cover plate has a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting protrusion. The limiting protrusion and the limiting groove cooperate to restrict the movement of the cover plate. By adopting the above technical solution, several limiting protrusions spaced apart on the inner wall of the arc-shaped side panel cooperate with the limiting grooves corresponding to each cover plate. When the cover plate rotates with the drawer, the limiting protrusions will be locked in the limiting grooves, thereby restricting the movement of the cover plate and preventing it from shifting or wobbling during drawer rotation. This makes the drawer more stable during rotation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall drawer structure. Preferably, the drawer has a fan-shaped structure. By adopting the above technical solution, the fan-shaped structure of the drawer can make full use of the space on the circumferential path within the same circumferential rotation space compared to existing square drawers, avoiding the space waste caused by protruding corners when square drawers rotate. Moreover, the fan-shaped appearance design makes the drawer rotate more smoothly, reducing the possibility of interference with surrounding structures. At the same time, its unique shape also increases the overall aesthetics and uniqueness of the desk.Preferably, a magnetic attraction structure is provided between the drawer body and the cover plate. The magnetic attraction structure includes a first magnetic attractor and a second magnetic attractor. The first magnetic attractor is provided on the edge of the drawer body, and the second magnetic attractor is provided on the cover plate at the position corresponding to the first magnetic attractor. The first magnetic attractor and the second magnetic attractor form a magnetic attraction engagement. By adopting the above technical solution, a first magnetic attractor is provided on the edge of the drawer body, and a second magnetic attractor is provided at the corresponding position on the cover plate to form a magnetic attraction engagement. When the drawer body rotates, the first magnetic attractor will move closer to the second magnetic attractor, and due to the magnetic attraction, the two attract each other. This magnetic attraction engagement allows the drawer body to automatically and tightly fit with the cover plate when it rotates to a suitable position, ensuring the stability and tightness of the drawer closure, preventing the drawer from being accidentally opened during use, thereby better protecting the items stored in the drawer, and also improving the overall user experience of the desk. Preferably, a sliding groove is provided on the edge of the drawer body, the first magnetic attractor is slidably disposed in the sliding groove, and the second magnetic attractor attracts the first magnetic attractor and slides along the sliding groove. By adopting the above technical solution, a groove is set on the edge of the drawer body, and the first magnetic component is slidably placed in the groove. A second magnetic component can attract the first magnetic component and slide along the groove. When the drawer body rotates close to the lid, the second magnetic component magnetically attracts the first magnetic component. Since the first magnetic component can slide within the groove, this magnetic attraction allows the drawer body and lid to fit more tightly. When the drawer is opened, the first magnetic component slides within the groove, which can buffer the impact force when the drawer body separates from the lid, avoiding excessive noise due to sudden separation and improving the user experience when using the drawer.
[0005] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The drawer is connected to the table body by a rotating structure and can rotate 360°. Compared with the existing sliding drawers, which need to be pulled out in a specific direction and occupy a lot of space when opened, this rotating drawer only needs to be rotated when opened, without the need for additional horizontal or vertical stretching space. Therefore, it improves the overall space layout and utilization efficiency of the office area. 2. The drawer can rotate 360°. Because it can rotate in all directions, the user can directly operate the drawer to open and take out items no matter where he is on the desk, unlike existing sliding drawers that can only be pulled out in a fixed direction. 3. Equipped with a first magnetic closure and a second magnetic closure, ensuring the stability and tightness of the drawer closure and preventing accidental opening of the drawer during use.

Detailed Implementation
[0008] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0009] This application provides an embodiment of an office desk, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a table body 1 and at least one drawer 2, wherein the drawer 2 is rotatably connected to the table body 1 via a rotating structure 3, and the drawer 2 can rotate 360°.
[0010] Among them, reference Figure 1 The desk 1 includes support legs 11, a cabinet 12, and a panel 13 positioned above the support legs 11 and the cabinet 12. The support legs 11 and cabinet 12 are respectively located on both sides of the panel 13. The main function of the support legs 11 is to support the entire desk. In this embodiment, the support legs 11 are made of wood and are cylindrical in shape, a simple shape that occupies little space. The cabinet 12 includes a base plate 121 and curved side plates 122. The base plate 121 and the curved side plates 122 enclose a cavity 123, with the opening of the cavity 123 facing away from the support legs 11. The curved side plates 122 are located between the cavity 123 and the support legs 11. Several limiting protrusions 1221 are spaced apart on the inner wall of the curved side plates 122. The limiting protrusions 1221 can be cylindrical or square. The support legs 11, cabinet 12, and panel 13 together form an inverted "U"-shaped structure with the opening facing downwards, facilitating the placement of a chair at the opening. In particular, the desks in this embodiment are all made of wood, so a metal pad is installed under the base plate 121 to prevent wear.
[0011] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the cabinet 12 has three drawers 2 inside its receiving cavity 123. The three drawers 2 are stacked vertically. The drawers 2 in this embodiment have a fan-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped part of the drawer 2 corresponds to the arc-shaped side panel 122 of the cabinet 12. Each drawer 2 includes a cover plate 21 and a drawer body 22. The cover plate 21 is fixedly connected to the table body 1. Each drawer body 22 can rotate 360°. The cover plate 21 has a limiting groove 211 at the position of the limiting protrusion 1221. When installing the cover plate 21, the limiting groove 211 of the cover plate 21 is aligned with the limiting protrusion 1221 of the arc-shaped side panel 122, and the cover plate 21 is pressed down so that the cover plate 21 and the arc-shaped side panel 122 are engaged. Each drawer body 22 has an installation protrusion 221 and a storage groove 222. Each cover plate 21 covers the corresponding drawer body 22 and covers the opening of the storage groove 222. Each mounting protrusion 221 is provided with a mounting hole for mounting the rotating structure 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the maximum radius of the cover plate 21 is larger than the radius of the drawer body 22. The side of the cover plate 21 closest to the arc-shaped side plate 122 has a recessed design to ensure that after the drawer body 22 and cover plate 21 are installed sequentially, the cover plate 21 remains fixed, the drawer body 22 does not contact the arc-shaped side plate 122, and can rotate 360°. In particular, the uppermost cover plate 21 is fastened to the panel 13 with bolts.
[0012] Accordingly, this embodiment has three rotating structures 3. Each rotating structure 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and a planar thrust ball bearing 32. The three rotating shafts 31 are hollow tubular structures, and they pass through the mounting holes of the three cover plates 21 and the three drawer bodies 22 in sequence, achieving rotational connection through the planar thrust ball bearing 32. The planar thrust ball bearing 32 can reduce friction during rotation, making the drawer 2 easier to rotate and reducing the force required for the user to rotate the drawer 2. The planar thrust ball bearing 32 includes a tight ring 321, a ball ring 322, and a loose ring 323. The tight ring 321 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 31 and is interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 31 to achieve a fixed connection between the tight ring 321 and the rotating shaft 31. The ball ring 322 is placed on the upper surface of the tight ring 321 so that the ball ring 322 and the tight ring 321 are coaxial. The loose ring 323 is embedded in the cover plate 21 so that after the cover plate 21 is installed, the loose ring 323 is located on the upper surface of the ball ring 322, and the lower surface of the loose ring 323 slides with the balls in the ball ring 322, so that the rotating shaft 31 can rotate smoothly around the axis. The planar thrust ball bearing 32 is a conventional support and transmission structure, so its specific structure and rotation principle will not be described in detail here.
[0013] In this embodiment, the three drawers 2 are coaxially connected by a connecting shaft 4. Specifically, since there are three drawers 2 and three rotating structures 3, to ensure that each of the three drawer bodies 22 can rotate independently 360°, the connecting shaft 4 passes through the three rotating shafts 31 and the tightening ring 321, ball ring 322, and loosening ring 323 of the planar thrust ball bearing 32, ensuring the coaxial connection of the three drawers 2. The three rotating shafts 31 can rotate independently around the connecting shaft 4 360°. This design ensures more stable rotation of the three drawers 2, making the entire desk structure more compact and reducing space occupation. In particular, the corners of the three drawer bodies 22 are all chamfered. In this embodiment, the bottom drawer 2 is the tallest of the three drawers 2, so as to accommodate larger items in the corresponding storage slots.
[0014] Specifically, in this embodiment, a magnetic attraction structure 23 is provided between the cover plate 21 and the drawer body 22. A first magnetic attraction element is provided on the edge of the drawer body 22, and a second magnetic attraction element is provided on the cover plate 21 at the position corresponding to the first magnetic attraction element. The first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element form a magnetic attraction engagement. When the drawer 2 is in the closed state, the magnetic attraction engagement can make the drawer 2 more securely placed in the receiving cavity 123, preventing the drawer 2 from being opened accidentally. A slide groove 223 is provided at the edge of the upper surface of the drawer body 22. The first magnetic attraction element is slidably disposed in the slide groove 223, and the second magnetic attraction element attracts the first magnetic attraction element and slides along the slide groove 223. The surface of the first magnetic attraction element is provided with a protrusion that can form a sliding engagement with the slide groove 223. This design makes the drawer 2 smoother during opening and closing and can also achieve a noise reduction effect. In particular, the surface of the drawer body 22 is provided with a handle for easy pushing and pulling.
[0015] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In particular, in this embodiment, sliding drawers 131 are provided on both sides of the panel 13 where people can sit, increasing the storage space of the desk. Storage boxes 132 are embedded on the surface of the panel 13 for easy placement of items such as power strips.
[0016] When drawer 2 is inside the receiving cavity 123, drawer 2 is in the closed state. When drawer 2 starts to rotate from the closed state, and rotates to 180°, drawer 2 begins to disengage from the receiving cavity 123 until it is completely exposed to the outside, changing from a half-open state to a fully open state. When drawer 2 continues to rotate from 180° to 360°, drawer 2 changes from a fully open state to a half-open state, and then returns to the receiving cavity 123, restoring to the closed state. This design allows drawer 2 to be opened and closed without having to be pulled out in a straight line like existing sliding drawers, greatly reducing the space occupied by drawer 2 when opening and closing. Moreover, since drawer 2 can rotate 360°, users can open drawer 2 by gently pushing the drawer body 22 from any position on the desk, making it easier to retrieve items without being limited by existing drawers that can only be pulled out in a specific direction, significantly improving the flexibility of use.
[0017] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Structural installation and fixing: The cover plate 21 is fixed by the limiting groove 211 and the limiting protrusion 1221 of the arc-shaped side plate 122 of the cabinet body 12, ensuring that the cover plate 21 remains stationary; the rotating shaft 31 passes through the mounting holes of the cover plate 21 and the drawer body 22 in sequence, the tight ring 321 of the planar thrust ball bearing 32 is interference-fitted with the rotating shaft 31, the ball ring 322 is placed on the tight ring 321, and the loose ring 323 is embedded in the cover plate 21, forming an axial support structure, so that the rotating shaft 31 can rotate smoothly around the axis.
[0018] Coaxial rotation is achieved by connecting the three drawers 2 through the core components of the three rotating shafts 31 and the planar thrust ball bearing 32 via the hollow connecting shaft 4, which are the tightening ring 321, the ball ring 322, and the loosening ring 323. Each rotating shaft 31 can rotate 360° independently around the connecting shaft 4, driving the drawer body 22 to rotate relative to the fixed cover plate 21, ensuring that the three drawers 2 operate independently and have a compact structure.
[0019] Magnetic assisted closing: The first magnetic element on the edge of the drawer body 22 slides along the slide groove 223 and forms a magnetic attraction with the second magnetic element corresponding to the cover plate 21; when the drawer 2 is closed, the magnetic attraction makes the drawer body 22 firmly fixed in the receiving cavity 123 to prevent accidental opening; during the opening and closing process, the first magnetic element slides and engages with the slide groove 223 through the protrusion, improving the smoothness of operation and reducing noise.
[0020] 360° Rotation Opening and Closing Logic: Drawer 2 starts rotating from the closed state at 0°. When it rotates to 180°, it disengages from the receiving cavity 123 and is fully exposed, which is the fully open state of drawer 2. When it continues to rotate to 360°, it re-enters the receiving cavity 123 and returns to the closed state. This design eliminates the linear pull-out space requirement of existing related drawers 2. Users can push the drawer body 22 from any direction to open and close it, which significantly improves the flexibility of use and space utilization.
[0021] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
