[0001] This utility model relates to a dining table, and more specifically, to a novel dining table. Background Technology

[0002] As the main element of dining culture, the dining table can be used for family meals or group meals. However, existing dining table formats are monotonous and lack traditional cultural elements, making it difficult to provide dining enjoyment or experience, especially in group meals.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN102987742A, published on March 27, 2013, entitled "A Dining Table Reflecting the Characteristics of Chinese Ethnic Culture," discloses a dining table including table legs, a support frame, a fixed tabletop, and a movable tabletop. The fixed tabletop is circular or polygonal, composed of multiple fan-shaped rings connected by bolts on the back. At least three table legs are bolted to the back of the fixed tabletop, and the sides of each table leg are bolted to the support frame. A panel is provided on the outer surface of the support frame, with a decorative layer of graphics and text introducing one or more of my country's 56 ethnic groups or their regional cultural characteristics. The movable tabletop is located at the center of the fixed tabletop, with a decorative plate on its central surface. The decorative plate has a layer of graphics and text indicating the customs and traditions of one or more of China's 56 ethnic groups or their regional cultural characteristics. The dining table also features a national map or map model and is decorated with images reflecting the characteristics and customs of multiple ethnic groups and different regions through embossing, carving, or pasting, thus enhancing the cultural level of the restaurant. However, this plan only incorporates ethnic cultural elements, without combining modern technology with traditional cultural elements, and it is also difficult to provide a better dining experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention overcomes the problems of traditional dining tables being monotonous in form and lacking cultural elements, and provides a new type of dining table. This solution integrates the cultural elements of the winding stream party, and through the combination of modern technology and traditional culture, it can enhance the dining experience for users.

[0005] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a novel dining table, comprising a tabletop body with an open annular water trough in the center. The annular water trough contains circulating water with a level lower than the upper surface of the tabletop body. An external tabletop is located on the side of the annular water trough away from the tabletop body. The open design of the annular water trough allows for the storage of flowing water, enabling the transfer of food items and embodying the traditional Chinese dining etiquette of "winding stream party." The external tabletop outside the annular water trough provides a dining surface for users. This solution combines modern technology with traditional culture by incorporating the traditional Chinese concept of "winding stream party" into a modern dining table, thereby enhancing the user's dining experience and sense of ritual.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 4The illustrated novel dining table includes a tabletop body 1, which is circular in shape. An annular water trough 1.2 is formed on the upper surface of the tabletop body 1, with an opening at the top. The opening of the annular water trough 1.2 is flush with the upper surface of the tabletop body 1. An outer tabletop 1.1 is formed radially outside the annular water trough 1.2, and the outer tabletop 1.1 and the annular water trough 1.2 are integrally molded. The annular water trough 1.2 is filled with flowing water, and a drive pump 4 is installed at the bottom of the annular water trough 1.2. The operation of the drive pump 4 enables the flowing water in the annular water tank 1.2 to circulate in a unidirectional ring. A floating platform structure is also set above the flowing water in the annular water tank 1.2. When using the dining table, the user places the food on the floating platform. The floating platform circulates in the annular water tank 1.2 through the circulating water, so that the food can circulate in a ring on the dining table, thus reflecting the dining style of "winding water and floating wine cups". This solution combines modern technology with traditional culture, and can also enhance the user's sense of ritual and dining experience.

[0023] Furthermore, the annular water tank 1.2 has the same shape as the tabletop body 1 and forms a concentric ring structure. That is, if the tabletop body 1 is circular, then the annular water tank 1.2 is also circular. It should also be noted that the tabletop body 1 can be designed as an oval shape (elongated oval), in which case the annular water tank 1.2 would also be oval (elongated oval). Figure 4 (As shown); the main body of the tabletop 1 can also be designed as an ellipse, then the annular water tank 1.2 can be designed as an ellipse.

[0024] Furthermore, the water level in the annular water tank 1.2 is lower than the upper surface of the tabletop body 1 to prevent water from splashing onto the external tabletop 1.1. The external tabletop 1.1 is the main area for users to eat. The radial width of the external tabletop 1.1 is 30 to 50 cm, providing users with sufficient dining space and making it convenient for users to take food from the annular water tank 1.2.

[0025] Furthermore, a drive pump 4 structure is also provided at the bottom of the annular water tank 1.2. In this embodiment, four sets of drive pumps 4 are designed, which are distributed in a ring within the annular water tank 1.2. The output direction of the drive pumps 4 is the same along the circumference of the annular water tank 1.2, ensuring that the water flow direction within the annular water tank 1.2 is consistent, thus effectively transporting the food. Because the four sets of drive pumps 4 are evenly distributed within the annular water tank 1.2, the water flow is more balanced, ensuring a smoother flow. Simultaneously, using multiple sets of drive pumps 4 reduces the output power of a single drive pump 4. Each set of drive pumps 4 uses a smaller power output, resulting in a slower water flow and preventing the food from moving too quickly. This not only allows the drive pumps 4 to operate quietly but also improves the dining experience.

[0026] Furthermore, the floating platform is made of lightweight, low-density materials, which not only reduces its weight but also allows it to better support the food. To ensure the platform can secure the food, it is also equipped with a fixing groove to prevent the food from tipping over due to instability caused by the water flow.

[0027] Specifically, an inner wall 1.21 is located inside the annular water tank 1.2. The inner wall 1.21 is a ring-shaped wall radially inward of the annular water tank 1.2. A display component 2 is also installed on the side of the inner wall 1.21 away from the annular water tank 1.2. The display component 2 includes multiple LED strip screens. The LED screens 2.1 adopt a curved design adapted to the shape of the inner wall 1.21, allowing them to be better arranged on the inner wall 1.21. The display component 2 can display the dining theme and content related to dining activities, and also facilitates interaction among diners, enhancing the dining experience. Adjacent LED screens 2.1 are arranged close together, resulting in a continuous distribution of LED screens and improving the overall visual appeal of the dining table.

[0028] Furthermore, a sealing cover 3 needs to be installed above the annular inner wall of the tabletop body 1 to seal the display component 2 and provide good waterproof protection. To allow users to view the content on the LED screen 2.1, the sealing cover 3 needs to be transparent; specifically, it can be made of transparent tempered glass. To control the display component 2, an external control system is also required. This external control system can adjust the content displayed on the display component 2. In addition, the external control system can also include a voice module for communication between users.

[0029] Specifically, a support component 5 is installed below the tabletop body 1. The support component 5 includes a frustum 5.3, which is coaxially arranged with the tabletop body 1. Support legs 5.1 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of the frustum 5.3, with at least four sets of support legs 5.1 required to ensure effective support for the dining table. A triangular support frame 5.2 is installed between the support legs 5.1 and the frustum 5.3, forming a stable triangular structure to ensure the overall structural strength of the support component 5. Furthermore, the triangular space formed between the support frame 5 and the frustum 5.3 can also be used for wiring of an external control system, avoiding cluttered wiring. Simultaneously, arranging the wiring below the tabletop body 1 also improves the overall aesthetics of the dining table.

[0030] Furthermore, a support pad 5.4 or a caster wheel is provided at the bottom of the support leg 5.1. The support pad 5.4 can increase the bearing surface of the bottom of the table, making the tabletop more stable, or the caster wheel can be added to facilitate the movement of the table. The caster wheel needs to have a locking function.
