[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.
[0039] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] The embodiments described in this specification will now be described in detail.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, this application discloses a coffee table, which includes a coffee table body 10 and a rotating opening and closing mechanism 40. The coffee table body 10 has a receiving cavity, and the rotating opening and closing mechanism 40 includes a fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 and a fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30. The upper sealing plate 20 and the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 can be selectively opened to facilitate storage by the user. Alternatively, the upper sealing plate 20 and the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 can be selectively closed to close the receiving cavity, allowing the coffee table to be used as a footstool.
[0042] Please refer to the reference again. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the coffee table body 10 includes a base plate 11, a top ring plate 12, a side wall shell 13, and multiple support plates 14. The top ring plate 12 forms an annular opening, which facilitates the user to take items out of the receiving cavity through the annular opening. On the other hand, the rotating opening and closing mechanism 40 can rotate along the inner wall of the annular opening to open or close the receiving cavity.
[0043] Multiple support plates 14 are arranged around the main rod 41 between the base plate 11 and the top ring plate 12. The sidewall shell 13 wraps around the base plate 11, the top ring plate 12, and the multiple support plates 14 to form a receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the receiving cavity is annular. In another embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the receiving cavity can also be square; the specific design can be flexibly adjusted according to the application scenario.
[0044] The support plate 14 includes a main body 141 and a support part 142, with the support part 142 extending toward the center of the coffee table body 10 relative to the main body 141. The top of the support part 142 is lower than the top of the main body 141, thus forming a recessed step between the support part 142 and the main body 141.
[0045] The coffee table body 10 also includes a bottom ring 15, which is fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 11, and the bottom of the support plate 14 is fixed to the bottom ring 15. This fixing can be achieved, for example, by screws or clips.
[0046] To ensure that the support plates 14 can be evenly spaced on the bottom ring 15 and distribute the force applied to the coffee table body 10, the bottom ring 15 is provided with multiple positioning notches 151 along the circumference. The multiple positioning notches 151 are evenly spaced and correspond one-to-one with the support plates 14, which ensures that the support plates 14 are evenly spaced while improving the installation efficiency of the support plates 14.
[0047] The coffee table body 10 also includes a limiting plate 16, which has multiple limiting grooves 161 along its circumference. The limiting grooves 161 extend through the limiting plate 16 along its axial direction. The main body 141 is engaged within the limiting grooves 161 to fix multiple support plates 14. The limiting plate 16 abuts against the support portion 142.
[0048] Please refer to the reference again. Figure 6 As shown, the coffee table body 10 also includes a lower support ring 17, a stepped ring 18, and an upper support ring 19, which are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the upper surface of the support portion 142. A fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 abuts against the upper support ring 19, and a fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 abuts against the lower support ring 17. The stepped ring 18 creates a gap between the fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 and the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 to prevent collisions during rotation.
[0049] The coffee table body 10 also includes an arc-shaped adhesive strip (not shown in the figure), which is fixed to the upper surface of the lower support ring 17 and the upper surface of the upper support ring 19. Thus, when the fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 and the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 rotate, the smoothness of sliding between the upper fan-shaped sealing plate 20 and the upper surface of the upper support ring 19, and between the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 and the upper surface of the lower support ring 17, is increased, while also reducing friction noise generated by their contact.
[0050] The rotary opening and closing mechanism 40 also includes a main rod 41. One end of the main rod 41 is fixed inside the receiving cavity, and the other end passes through the center of the annular opening end and is rotatably connected to the upper sector-shaped sealing plate 20 and the lower sector-shaped sealing plate 30, so as to move along the inner wall of the annular opening end to open or close the receiving cavity.
[0051] The fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 is located above the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30. Both the fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 and the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30 are semi-circular. The fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20 is flush with the upper surface of the annular opening end, which increases the aesthetics of the coffee table.
[0052] Please refer to the reference again. Figures 7-9 As shown, the rotary opening and closing mechanism 40 also includes a top rotating sleeve 42, a middle rotating sleeve 43, and a bottom rotating sleeve 44. The upper sector-shaped sealing plate 20 rotates via the top rotating sleeve 42, and the lower sector-shaped sealing plate 30 rotates via the bottom rotating sleeve 44. The top rotating sleeve 42 and the bottom rotating sleeve 44 are independent of each other.
[0053] One end of the top rotating sleeve 42 is fixedly connected to the fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20. The other end of the top rotating sleeve 42 is located in the through hole 411 at the top of the main rod 41 and is rotatably engaged with the main rod 41. Specifically, the top rotating sleeve 42 includes an upper mounting plate and convex shafts located on the upper and lower surfaces of the upper mounting plate, respectively. Alignment holes for fixing the convex shafts on the upper surface are provided on the fan-shaped upper sealing plate 20, and the convex shafts on the lower surface are placed in the through hole 411 of the main rod 41.
[0054] The intermediate rotating sleeve 43 is fixedly connected to the through hole 411 at the top of the main rod 41. The intermediate rotating sleeve 43 is located between the main rod 41 and the top rotating sleeve 42, and rotates in conjunction with the top rotating sleeve 42. In this embodiment, the intermediate rotating sleeve 43 is made of plastic to reduce the frictional resistance between the top rotating sleeve 42 and the main rod 41.
[0055] The bottom rotating sleeve 44 is fixedly connected to the fan-shaped lower sealing plate 30. A rotating shaft step 412 is provided on the side of the top of the main rod 41. The bottom rotating sleeve 44 is sleeved on the main rod 41 and abuts against the rotating shaft step 412. The bottom rotating sleeve 44 is rotatably engaged with the main rod 41.
[0056] The rotating opening and closing mechanism 40 also includes a bottom crossbar 45, a top crossbar 46, and multiple intermediate support rods 47. The main rod 41 passes through the bottom crossbar 45 and the top crossbar 46 sequentially from bottom to top. The top crossbar 46 is located below the lower sealing plate. The bottom crossbar 45 and the top crossbar 46 are connected by multiple intermediate support rods 47. The bottom crossbar 45 is fixed to the base plate 11. In this way, while not interfering with the rotation of the sector-shaped upper sealing plate 20 and the sector-shaped lower sealing plate 30, the structural stability of the main rod 41 within the receiving cavity is increased.
[0057] The rotary opening and closing mechanism 40 also includes a mounting base 48, which is fixed to the bottom of the main rod 41. The base plate 11 has a slot 111 for accommodating the mounting base 48. This allows the main rod 41 to be quickly guided and positioned in the correct installation location, improving the assembly efficiency of the main rod 41. Simultaneously, it further positions the main rod 41 horizontally, preventing positional deviation.
[0058] This application uses a rotating opening and closing mechanism 40 to open and close the receiving cavity, so that the coffee table can be used as a footstool while fulfilling its storage function, thereby meeting different usage needs.
[0059] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
