Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of office furniture technology, and in particular relates to a modular desktop and table. Background Technology
[0002] Based on the current state of modular desktop technology, existing designs typically suffer from the following shortcomings: Traditional modular desktops rely heavily on bolts or independent connectors to fix adjacent interlocking panels, resulting in cumbersome assembly processes, strong tool dependence, and the seams, especially during large-span splicing, are prone to loosening due to long-term stress, reducing overall stability. Furthermore, existing interlocking splicing structures often have poor compatibility, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to expansion needs with different numbers of interlocking panels, thus limiting product lifespan and scenario adaptability. Utility Model Content
[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model
[0004] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular desktop and table to solve the technical problems of existing modular desktops, which have complex assembly (relying on tools for fastening), easy loosening of joints, easy damage to end structures and poor compatibility, resulting in insufficient stability and affecting service life.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A modular desktop includes: at least two locking plates, at least one splicing strip, and two end caps; wherein each locking plate has at least one locking part; adjacent locking plates are spliced together by inserting the splicing strip into their respective locking parts to form a whole; the two end caps are respectively connected to both ends of the integral structure formed by splicing.
[0008] This solution enables tool-free rapid assembly through the plug-in connection of the snap-fit parts and splicing strips, solving the problem of cumbersome traditional bolt fixing procedures. In particular, adjacent snap-fit plates form a rigid joint through the mechanical locking of the splicing strips, improving the overall load-bearing capacity of the desktop. At the same time, the end caps strengthen both ends of the overall structure, improving stability and aesthetics, and supporting flexible expansion to adapt to diverse usage scenarios.
[0009] In some embodiments, the locking plate includes two single-sided locking plates and at least one double-sided locking plate; the single-sided locking plate has a locking part on only one side and is located at both ends of the splicing direction; the double-sided locking plate has a locking part on both sides and is located between the two single-sided locking plates; adjacent locking plates are spliced by inserting splicing strips into their opposite locking parts.
[0010] By setting one or more double-sided locking plates with locking parts on both sides between two single-sided locking plates, the number of intermediate connecting plates can be flexibly increased according to the actual required desktop length, easily realizing the expansion and adjustment of desktop size to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
[0011] In some embodiments, the locking parts of the single-sided locking plate and the double-sided locking plate have the same structure, both including: two clamping surfaces extending from the upper and lower edges of the plate body for clamping the upper and lower sides of the splicing strip.
[0012] The integrated clamping surface provides uniform clamping force, enhancing the connection stability between the splicing strip and the panel, preventing loosening at the joint due to uneven force, while simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing the number of parts and maintenance costs.
[0013] In some embodiments, the outer end of the clamping surface is curved.
[0014] The arched mechanical structure clamping surface can apply clamping force downwards, which enhances clamping stability and effectively disperses longitudinal load stress, suppressing the risk of deformation caused by stress concentration during long-term use, thereby significantly improving the structural strength and durability of the joint.
[0015] In some embodiments, the upper and lower edges on both sides of the splicing strip are provided with horizontally extending locking surfaces, and each locking surface is provided with a longitudinal locking groove; the inner side of the clamping surface is provided with a locking protrusion that extends into the locking groove.
[0016] The interlocking design of the locking protrusion and locking groove enhances tensile strength, effectively prevents the splice strip from coming off under vibration or load, improves joint reliability and overall rigidity, and ensures structural integrity during long-term use.
[0017] In some embodiments, longitudinally extending limiting protrusions are provided on the upper and lower sides of the splicing strip to constrain the lateral position of the clamping surface.
[0018] The limiting protrusions constrain the lateral displacement of the clamping surface, ensuring precise alignment of the splicing position, reducing stress concentration and wear caused by misalignment, thereby maintaining the flatness of the tabletop and extending its service life.
[0019] In some embodiments, the end cap includes a plate and a plurality of connecting blocks disposed vertically on its inner side, the connecting blocks being spaced apart along the length of the plate and connected to the end plate.
[0020] Multi-point reinforcement is achieved by using spaced connecting blocks, which evenly distributes the force at the ends, preventing the end structure from deforming or chipping under load. At the same time, it improves the aesthetics and overall structural integrity, and is easy to assemble and maintain.
[0021] In some embodiments, the single-sided snap-fit plate, the double-sided snap-fit plate, the splicing strip, and the end cap are all made of aluminum.
[0022] The lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties of aluminum reduce the weight of the desktop, making it easier to move and improving environmental adaptability. At the same time, it ensures high strength and low maintenance requirements, extending the product's service life in humid or variable environments.
[0023] Another aspect of this application provides a modular table, characterized in that the modular tabletop, including the above-mentioned items, further includes: table legs detachably disposed below the modular tabletop.
[0024] The combination of detachable legs and modular desktop enables a fully modular design for the table, allowing users to flexibly adjust the size and quickly deploy it, improving portability and space adaptability while inheriting the stability and durability of the desktop.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0039] This utility model provides a modular desktop that enables tool-free, rapid assembly. First, the desktop comprises at least two interlocking plates, at least one splicing strip 3, and two end sealing plates 4. Each interlocking plate has at least one interlocking part. Adjacent interlocking plates are horizontally spliced by vertically inserting the splicing strip into their opposite interlocking parts, thus forming an integral desktop structure. Specifically, the two end sealing plates 4 are respectively fixed to the two end edges of the assembled integral structure to seal the ends and enhance resistance to deformation.
[0040] Furthermore, the specific configuration of the snap-fit panel includes two single-sided snap-fit panels 1, at least one double-sided snap-fit panel 2, several splicing strips 3, and two end sealing plates 4. The single-sided snap-fit panel 1 extends out a snap-fit portion only on one side, while the double-sided snap-fit panel 2 has the same snap-fit portion on both sides. During assembly, the splicing strips 3 are vertically inserted into the corresponding snap-fit portions of adjacent snap-fit panels (between single-sided and double-sided snap-fit panels 2, or between two double-sided snap-fit panels 2), allowing multiple snap-fit panels to be horizontally spliced into a complete tabletop. Furthermore, the two end sealing plates 4 are mechanically fixed to the two ends of the assembled structure to close the ends and enhance overall integrity.
[0041] In particular, the desktop layout offers high flexibility:
[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Minimum unit mode: When only a short desktop is needed, two single-sided snap-fit plates 1 can be directly spliced by inserting a splicing strip 3 into their opposite snap-fit parts. At this time, double-sided snap-fit plates 2 are not required.
[0043] Please see Figures 4-7 Extended mode: When the desktop needs to be extended, multiple double-sided locking plates 2 are added between the single-sided locking plates 1 at both ends. Each plate is connected by a splicing strip 3. The number of double-sided locking plates 2 depends on the length of the desktop.
[0044] Specifically, the locking parts of the single-sided locking plate 1 and the double-sided locking plate 2 adopt a unified design: two parallel clamping surfaces 21 extend integrally from the upper and lower edges of the locking plate, and the thickness of the clamping surfaces 21 is about 1 / 3 of the thickness of the locking plate. Preferably, the spacing between the clamping surfaces 21 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the splicing strip 3, and the upper and lower sides of the splicing strip 3 are clamped by elastic deformation.
[0045] The outer end of the clamping surface 21, away from the main body of the snap-fit plate, bends inward to form an arc shape, with the radius of curvature controlled at approximately 5mm. This arc design allows the outer end of the clamping surface 21 to naturally generate a downward clamping force, enhancing the locking effect on the splicing strip 3. Furthermore, the arc-shaped end transitions smoothly to avoid scratching the user or damaging the surface of the splicing strip 3.
[0046] Specifically, locking surfaces 31 extend horizontally from the upper and lower edges of both sides of the splicing strip 3, with a thickness of approximately 3mm. Each locking surface 31 has a through-type longitudinal locking groove 311. Correspondingly, a locking protrusion 211 is provided on the inner side of the clamping surface 21 (i.e., the side facing the splicing strip 3), with the height of the protrusion matching the depth of the locking groove. When the splicing strip 3 is inserted into the engaging part, the locking protrusion 211 embeds into the locking groove to form a longitudinal interlock, effectively resisting lateral tension.
[0047] The splicing strip 3 has longitudinally extending limiting protrusions 32 on its upper and lower surfaces, with a protrusion height of approximately 1 mm. When the splicing strip 3 is clamped by the clamping surface 21, the protrusions are in close contact with the inner wall of the clamping surface 21, limiting the lateral displacement of the clamping surface 21. This ensures that the interlocking plates are always precisely and evenly arranged and aligned, avoiding stress concentration at the joint due to misalignment. In particular, the limiting protrusions 32 are integrally formed with the splicing strip 3.
[0048] Specifically, the end cap 4 consists of a rectangular plate 41 with a thickness of approximately 8 mm and multiple connecting blocks 42 vertically welded to its inner side. The connecting blocks 42 are evenly distributed along the length of the plate 41, with the spacing controlled within 200 mm. Preferably, each connecting block 42 is fixed to the end of the locking plate (the end of the locking plate has screw holes) by countersunk screws, achieving multi-point force distribution. In this way, the impact resistance of the end is strengthened, and the increased processing cost caused by using a single connecting piece is avoided.
[0049] Preferably, the single-sided snap-fit plate 1, the double-sided snap-fit plate 2, the splicing strip 3, and the end sealing plate 4 are all made of extruded aluminum profiles, and the length can be cut according to actual needs, making processing convenient. Preferably, 6000 series aluminum alloy is used, and its surface is anodized to enhance corrosion resistance. As an alternative, rigid engineering plastics (such as glass fiber reinforced nylon) can also be injection molded, but aluminum alloy is still the preferred choice due to its strength and lightweight characteristics.
[0050] Another aspect of this application provides a modular table, which includes the aforementioned modular tabletop and detachable table legs 6; wherein the table legs 6 include multiple X-shaped supports and connecting rods, the connecting rods connecting the multiple X-shaped supports into one unit, and the user can increase or decrease the number of double-sided snap-fit plates 2 according to needs to change the size of the tabletop, and then place the assembled tabletop directly on the pre-assembled table legs 6, and quickly complete the assembly of the entire table by matching the corresponding number of table legs 6.
[0051] In the actual installation process, firstly, the single-sided locking plate 1 and the double-sided locking plate 2 are horizontally arranged to ensure precise alignment of the locking parts of adjacent locking plates. Then, the splicing strip 3 is vertically inserted into the gap between the locking parts, causing the clamping surface 21 to be compressed and elastically deformed until the locking protrusion 211 is fully embedded in the locking groove. This operation is repeated until all locking plates form a complete tabletop. At this point, the limiting protrusion 32 automatically corrects the lateral position of the clamping surface 21 to eliminate splicing deviations. Further, the connecting block 42 of the end sealing plate 4 is aligned with both ends of the tabletop, and screws are used to lock it to the end locking plate to complete the closure. Finally, the assembled tabletop is placed on top of the X-shaped table legs 6, thus completing the assembly of the entire table. In this way, no professional tools are required, and the user can complete the installation within 10 minutes.
[0052] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
