[0001] This application relates to the field of furniture, and in particular to a bedside table. Background Technology

[0002] As an important functional piece of furniture in the bedroom, the bedside table combines practicality and decoration. Its main uses include providing convenient storage space next to the bed, making it easy to store frequently used items such as mobile phones, books, glasses, and lamps, while keeping the bedroom tidy and organized through drawers or shelves; its surface can support household items such as alarm clocks and aromatherapy diffusers, and it is equipped with sockets to meet the charging needs of electronic devices.

[0003] In existing bedside tables, to meet users' needs for storing private items, one or more drawers are usually locked with a key. When users need to store private items in the bedside table, they need to use the key to unlock the drawer first, which is highly practical.

[0004] However, in modern life, due to the numerous places in a house where keys are used, users need to store a large number of keys. To prevent children or other people from easily opening the bedside table, when it is necessary to take out the items inside the bedside table, a key that is compatible with the bedside table lock model must be used to unlock it. This operation is complicated and inconvenient for users to access the private items placed in the bedside table, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the practicality of bedside tables, this application provides a bedside table.

[0006] The bedside table provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A bedside table includes a cabinet body with several drawers for storing items. A cover is slidably mounted on the top of the cabinet body, forming a cavity for placing items between the cover and the adjacent drawers. A limit rod is provided on the cover to limit the maximum distance the cover can slide along the cabinet body. A magnetic lock is provided on the cabinet body, and the power cord of the magnetic lock is electrically connected to a power socket. When the magnetic lock stops working, the user can open the cover along the cabinet body.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a cavity is formed between the sliding cover and the drawer adjacent to the cover for storing items. After the cover is opened along the cabinet, the limit distance of the cover sliding along the cabinet is limited by the limit rod. Users can control the opening and closing of the cover by controlling the power on and off of the magnetic lock, without the need for traditional keys. This prevents children or other people from easily taking out items from the cavity, avoiding the problems of lost keys or inconvenience in carrying them.

[0008] Preferably, the cabinet is provided with an unlocking component, the unlocking component including an unlocking switch, the unlocking switch being disposed on the cabinet and electrically connected to the magnetic lock.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, users can directly control the power off of the magnetic lock through the unlocking switch, which is simple to operate and convenient to open.

[0010] Preferably, the unlocking component further includes a wireless unlocking module, which is electrically connected to the magnetic lock and the user's mobile communication device.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, users can interact with the wireless unlocking module through mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, thereby achieving the purpose of wirelessly controlling the power on and off of the magnetic lock, improving the convenience of users controlling the power on and off of the magnetic lock.

[0012] Preferably, the cabinet is provided with a plurality of electronic device power supply sockets and a plurality of 220V power supply sockets, and the plurality of electronic device power supply sockets and the plurality of 220V power supply sockets are electrically connected to a power socket.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the electronic device power supply socket can directly power devices such as mobile phones, headphones, and tablets, while the 220V power supply socket can meet the power supply needs of devices such as desk lamps and humidifiers, making it highly practical.

[0014] Preferably, the cabinet has a number of slots equal to the number of power supply sockets for the electronic devices. When the power supply sockets for the electronic devices are located in the slots, the power supply sockets for the electronic devices are flush with the surface of the cabinet.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the power supply socket is embedded into the cabinet surface through the slot, which avoids the power supply socket of electronic devices protruding and affecting the placement of items or causing bumps, and keeps the cabinet surface flat and beautiful.

[0016] Preferably, the cabinet is equipped with a backup power supply, which is used to supply power to the magnetic lock and the electronic device power supply base.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic lock can still work normally when the power socket cannot provide power. This reduces the probability of children or other people forcibly unplugging the power cord of the magnetic lock from the power socket, causing the magnetic lock to lose power and making it easy for children or other people to open the cover. At the same time, when the power socket cannot provide power, it can still be powered by the electronic device power socket to achieve the purpose of charging mobile phones and other electronic products.

[0018] Preferably, a cable management channel is provided on the side wall where the cabinet meets the wall.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, cable trays can be used to store power cords, charging cables, etc., avoiding exposed and tangled wires, and playing a positive role in improving the overall aesthetics.

[0020] Preferably, the cabinet is provided with a magnetic clasp, which magnetically engages with the cover plate when the cover plate slides along the cabinet to its limit distance.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic force provided by the magnetic chuck allows the cover to remain stably in place after it is opened along the cabinet without being subjected to external force. This reduces the probability of the cover sliding and causing injury to the user when they try to retrieve items from the cavity after opening the cover.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Users can control the opening and closing of the cover by controlling the power on and off of the magnetic lock, without the need for a traditional key. This prevents children or other people from easily removing items from the cavity, avoiding the problems of lost or inconvenient keys. 2. The electronic device power socket can directly power devices such as mobile phones, headphones, and tablets, while the 220V power socket can meet the power needs of devices such as desk lamps and humidifiers, making it highly practical; 3. The magnetic lock can still function normally when the power socket is unavailable, and it can still be powered by the electronic device charging socket to charge mobile phones and other electronic products.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a bedside table. (See also...) Figures 1-3 A bedside table includes a rectangular cabinet body 1. Several drawers 2 are arranged vertically at intervals inside the cabinet body 1 (two are shown as an example in the figure). The drawers 2 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 via slide rails and are used to store common items such as jewelry and books. A horizontal sliding groove is provided at the front edge of the top of the cabinet body 1. A rectangular cover plate 3 slides within the sliding groove. The length of the cover plate 3 is adapted to the width of the top of the cabinet body 1 to ensure that it completely covers the lower cavity 6 during sliding.

[0030] Specifically, horizontally extending limiting rods 4 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the cover plate 3, and the length direction of the limiting rods 4 is consistent with the sliding direction of the cover plate 3. Limiting grooves 11 are opened on both sides of the top of the cabinet 1 corresponding to the positions of the limiting rods 4. The limiting grooves 11 are long strip-shaped grooves extending along the length direction of the cabinet 1. The limiting rods 4 are embedded in the limiting grooves 11 and can slide along them. Limiting blocks 12 are fixed at the ends of the limiting grooves 11 (i.e., the extreme positions on the left and right sides of the cabinet 1). The height of the limiting blocks 12 is greater than the size of the limiting rods 4, which is used to limit the sliding limit distance of the cover plate 3 (for example, the sliding stroke is 20cm) to prevent the cover plate 3 from detaching from the cabinet 1.

[0031] Furthermore, a cavity 6 with a height of 5-10cm is formed between the cover plate 3 and the top edge of the adjacent drawer 2. The opening direction of the cavity 6 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cover plate 3. Users can place small personal items such as mobile phones, glasses, and jewelry in the cavity 6 and open and close the cavity 6 by pushing the cover plate 3 to slide along the top of the cabinet 1.

[0032] Correspondingly, a magnetic lock 5 is installed on the right side of the front face of the cabinet 1. The lock body of the magnetic lock 5 is fixed to the top edge of the cabinet 1, and the corresponding latch is fixed to the right side of the cover plate 3. The magnetic lock 5 is electrically connected to an external power socket via a power cord. In the default power-on state, the lock body of the magnetic lock 5 generates magnetism to attract the latch, keeping the cover plate 3 locked. When the magnetic lock 5 is de-energized, the magnetism disappears, and the user can manually slide the cover plate 3 to open the cavity 6.

[0033] It should be noted that the magnetic lock 5 is a device that uses the principle of generating a magnetic field by passing an electric current through a coil, thereby generating a magnetic attraction or magnetic repulsion force. When the magnetic lock 5 is energized, it can attract ferrous or magnetic objects. When the magnetic lock 5 is de-energized, the attraction between the magnetic lock 5 and the ferrous or magnetic objects disappears. This is existing technology. In this embodiment, the magnetic lock 5 has an adsorption capacity of ≥50N, which meets the user's daily needs. Further details will not be provided here.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The system also includes an unlocking component. An embedded mounting slot is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The unlocking component includes an unlocking switch 7, which is disposed within the mounting slot. The unlocking switch 7 can be a push-button type or a rotary type. In this embodiment, the unlocking switch 7 is a push-button type, and its electrical connection terminals are connected in series with the power supply line of the magnetic lock 5 via wires. When the user presses the unlocking switch 7 or rotates it to the unlock position, the power supply to the magnetic lock 5 can be cut off, achieving rapid unlocking.

[0035] Furthermore, the unlocking components also include a wireless unlocking module (such as a Bluetooth module or a Wi-Fi module, which are existing wireless communication modules, such as the ESP32 series, TG-12F / 01M module, etc.) integrated inside the cabinet 1. The wireless unlocking module is connected to the control circuit of the magnetic lock 5 via a signal line, and also supports establishing wireless communication with the user's mobile communication device (such as a mobile phone or tablet). The user can send an unlocking command to the wireless unlocking module through a dedicated APP installed on the mobile communication device. After receiving the command, the wireless unlocking module controls the magnetic lock 5 to power off, realizing remote or near-field unlocking functions.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the user needs to power off the magnetic lock 5, the unlock switch 7 needs to be pressed four times within 1.2 seconds to unlock it, or the unlock switch 7 needs to be pressed and held for 1.5 seconds to unlock it. Alternatively, the user can set the unlocking method of the unlock switch 7 through a mobile communication device, for example, in the following order: quickly press the unlock switch 7 twice (within 1 second) - press and hold the unlock switch once (within 1 second-1.5 seconds) - quickly press the unlock switch 7 twice (within 1 second) to unlock the magnetic lock 5, thereby reducing the possibility of children or other personnel accidentally powering off the magnetic lock 5.

[0037] Correspondingly, a signal receiving antenna is installed inside cabinet 1, hidden within the side panel of cabinet 1, to ensure stable wireless signal transmission. The unlocking switch 7 and the wireless unlocking module are connected in parallel, and both can independently control the power supply to the magnetic lock 5, providing users with diverse unlocking options.

[0038] Reference Figure 2The cabinet 1 has a power supply area on its surface where it meets the wall. This area has rectangular slots 13 for installing four electronic device power sockets 9 (such as USB-A and USB-C ports) and two 220V power sockets 10 (standard Chinese sockets). Both the electronic device power sockets 9 and the 220V power sockets 10 are connected to an external power outlet via power cords. The electronic device power sockets 9 have an input voltage of 220V and an integrated step-down module that outputs standard low-voltage DC power such as 5V / 2A and 9V / 2A, suitable for charging devices such as mobile phones, headphones, and smartwatches. The 220V power sockets 10 directly provide AC power to meet the power needs of high-power devices such as desk lamps and humidifiers.

[0039] Specifically, when the electronic device power supply socket 9 and the 220V power supply socket 10 are embedded in the slot 13, their surfaces are flush with the surface of the cabinet 1 to prevent protrusions from affecting the placement of items or causing bumps. The edges of the slot 13 are provided with anti-slip rubber pads to fix the power supply sockets and reduce vibration noise.

[0040] Furthermore, a mounting slot 18 is provided below the power supply area of ​​cabinet 1, and a backup power supply 15 (such as a lithium battery pack) is installed in the mounting slot 18. The backup power supply 15 is connected to the magnetic lock 5 and the electronic device power supply socket 9 through a switching circuit. The switching circuit includes a voltage sensor and a relay. When the external power supply is interrupted, the voltage sensor detects the mains power interruption and triggers the relay to switch to the backup power supply 15, ensuring that the magnetic lock 5 remains locked (battery life ≥ 24 hours). At the same time, the electronic device power supply socket 9 can continue to charge mobile phones and other devices. The backup power supply 15 is connected to the power cord of the magnetic lock. After the power cord is plugged into the power socket, the backup power supply 15 can be in a charging state until it is fully charged and then automatically disconnects the power.

[0041] In this embodiment, the outline of the mounting groove 18 is adapted to the external outline of the backup power supply 15. The backup power supply 15 is connected to the power cord, magnetic lock 5 and electronic device power supply socket 9 through a power harness. The backup power supply 15 is fixed in the mounting groove 18 with bolts. When the user does not use it for a long time, the backup power supply 15 can be disassembled. The power harness and power cord are wires for electrical connection of conventional electrical equipment. Their specific composition and plugging method are not described in detail here.

[0042] Correspondingly, a vertical cable management channel 14 is provided at the junction of the rear side wall of cabinet 1 and the wall. The width of the cable management channel 14 is 3-5cm, and the depth is adapted to the thickness of cabinet 1. External power cords, charging cables, etc. can be extended to the back of the wall through the cable management channel 14. The wires are fixed in the cable management channel 14 with cable clips to avoid exposure and tangling, and to keep the exterior neat.

[0043] Furthermore, a magnetic clasp (such as a permanent magnet) is fixed to the front edge of the top of cabinet 1 (i.e., the opposite edge of the opening of cavity 6), and the length of the magnetic clasp is the same as the width of cavity 6. When the cover 3 slides to its limit position (fully open state), a metal piece (such as an iron piece) is fixed to the bottom of the cover 3 at the position corresponding to the magnetic clasp. The magnetic clasp and the metal piece are magnetically attracted to each other, providing a stable positioning force and preventing the cover 3 from accidentally sliding and pinching the user without external force.

[0044] Specifically, the magnetic strength of the magnetic chuck is designed to ensure that the cover 3 remains stable in the open state, while also allowing the user to close the cover 3 with appropriate force. The metal sheet is 1-2mm thick, with a rust-proof surface, and fits smoothly and firmly against the magnetic chuck's adsorption surface.

[0045] The implementation principle of a bedside table according to this application embodiment is as follows: Drawers 2 inside the cabinet 1 are categorized and stored using slide rails. A sliding cover 3 on the top of the cabinet 1 forms a cavity 6 with the top of the adjacent drawer 2 for storing small, personal items. A limiting rod 4 at the bottom of the cover 3 is embedded in a limiting groove 11 at the top of the cabinet 1, and a limiting block 12 limits the sliding distance to prevent it from detaching from the cabinet 1. In the default state, the magnetic lock 5 at the front of the cabinet 1 is energized and attracts the latch on the side of the cover 3, locking the cavity 6. The user can unlock the cover 3 by turning off the power using the unlocking switch 7 at the front of the cabinet 1, or by sending a command to the wireless unlocking module inside the cabinet 1 via a mobile app to de-energize the magnetic lock 5, thus enabling manual sliding of the cover 3. When the cover 3 is slid to its limit position, the magnetic plate on the top of the cabinet 1 and the metal plate at the bottom of the cover 3 magnetically engage to position the cover, preventing accidental slippage and injury to the user. The electronic device power supply 9 and the 220V power supply 10 on the right side of the cabinet 1 are embedded in the slot 13 and flush with the cabinet surface. They can be connected to an external power socket via power cords to meet the charging needs of different devices. The cable management channel 14 on the rear side wall of the cabinet 1 stores the wires and keeps them tidy. The backup power supply 15 in the bottom compartment automatically switches when the external power is cut off, ensuring that the magnetic lock 5 remains locked (battery life ≥ 24 hours) and the electronic device power supply 9 works normally. The overall design, including keyless unlocking, integrated power supply, backup power supply, and safety features, enhances the practicality and safety of the bedside table.

[0046] 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.
