Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0025] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 6 This application describes a multifunctional stool according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0026] It is worth noting that, with Figure 3 Taking the spatial rectangular coordinate system as an example, the X-axis-Y-axis plane is a horizontal plane, the Z-axis direction is a vertical direction, the arrow of the Z-axis points upward, the first direction of this application is upward, and the second direction of this application is horizontal.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to an embodiment of this application, a multifunctional stool includes: a stool body 100, the stool body 100 having a cavity 110, the opening of the cavity 110 facing a first direction; a flip cover 200 for covering the cavity 110, the flip cover 200 being rotatably connected to the stool body 100, and the flip cover 200 being able to rotate relative to the stool body 100 to open the cavity 110; and a plate 300, the plate 300 being adapted to the opening size of the cavity 110, and the plate 300 being detachably disposed at the opening of the cavity 110.

[0028] In other words, the multi-functional stool includes a stool body 100, a flip-top 200, and a panel 300. The stool body 100 has an internal cavity 110 for storage. The flip-top 200 opens and closes the cavity 110 by rotating it. When the cavity 110 is closed, the user can sit on the flip-top. The panel 300, made of sintered stone, is located at the opening of the cavity 110. When the flip-top 200 is open, the user can sit on the panel 300, which also serves as a backrest. To access items in the cavity 110, simply remove the panel 300, then place the item back into the cavity 110. Additionally, items can be placed on the panel 300, allowing the multi-functional stool to function as a bedside table. This multifunctional stool has a simple and ingenious structure, integrating seating, bedside table and storage functions, improving the space utilization of the furniture and providing a backrest for users with different sitting posture needs.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a back pad 600 is provided on the surface of the flip cover 200 that covers the cavity 110. It is understood that the flip cover 200 has a back pad 600 made of cloth or leather on its surface that seals the cavity 110 downwards, and the back pad 600 is fixed to the flip cover 200 with silicone sealant. When the user opens the flip cover 200 and sits on the stool body 100 and the panel 300, the user can lean back. Because the back pad 600 is soft, it provides a comfortable user experience. When the user flips the flip cover 200 to cover the stool body 100 and the panel 300, the back pad 600 also enhances the seal of the cavity 110 of the stool body 100. Of course, the back pad 600 can also be fixed to the flip cover 200 by other methods besides glass glue. For example, a Velcro surface can be provided on the back pad 600 and a Velcro hook surface can be provided on the flip cover 200. The two can be directly glued together to fix the back pad 600 to the flip cover 200. There are also many other installation methods, such as straps, which are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, when the flip cover 200 covers the cavity 110, the flip cover 200 abuts against the end face of the stool body 100 in the first direction. That is, when the flip cover 200 is on the stool body 100, the upper end face of the stool body 100 abuts against the flip cover 200. In other words, the size of the surface of the flip cover 200 used to cover the cavity 110 is larger than the size of the opening of the cavity 110, so as to ensure that when the user flips the flip cover 200 to cover the stool body 100 and the plate 300 and sits on the flip cover 200, the stool body 100 can provide stable support for the flip cover 200, ensuring the safety of the user.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cushion 400 is provided on one side of the panel 300. The panel 300 can be flipped so that the cushion 400 is in a first orientation. That is, to improve user comfort when sitting on the panel 300, a cushion 400 made of fabric or leather is provided on one side of the panel 300. When the flip cover 200 is opened and the user sits on the panel 300, the side of the panel 300 with the cushion 400 faces upwards, providing a comfortable user experience. When the user needs to use the multi-functional stool as a bedside table, the side of the panel 300 with the cushion 400 faces downwards, allowing the user to place items on the panel 300.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the stool body 100 includes a storage tube 120. The outer contour dimensions of the storage tube 120 are adapted to the dimensions of the cavity 110. The storage tube 120 is placed in the cavity 110. The storage tube 120 has a storage space inside and a storage opening that allows the storage space to open to the outside. The storage opening faces a first direction. That is to say, a storage tube 120 made of solid wood is placed in the cavity 110 of the stool body 100. The outer contour dimensions of the storage tube 120 are adapted to the dimensions of the cavity 110. This arrangement makes it convenient for users to take out the storage tube 120 to organize or clean the items stored in the storage space inside the storage tube 120.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the multifunctional stool also includes a base 500, which includes a turntable 530, a base plate 510, and a pivot 520. The turntable 530 and the base plate 510 are rotatably connected by the pivot 520. The stool body 100 is fixedly installed on the turntable 530. The turntable 530 rotates around its axis on the base plate 510, which can drive the stool body 100 to rotate. The pivot 520 is formed as a bent rod. One end of the pivot 520 extends along a first direction and is provided with a first pivot 521. The other end of the pivot 520 extends along a second direction and is provided with a second pivot 522. The first pivot 521 is connected to a flip cover 200. The flip cover 200 can rotate around the first pivot 521 to open or close the cavity 110. The second pivot 522 connects the base plate 510 and the turntable 530. The stool body 100 can rotate around the second pivot 522.

[0034] In other words, a base 500 is provided below the stool body 100. From top to bottom, the base 500 consists of a turntable 530, a pivot 520, and a chassis 510. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 520 is formed as a bent rod, with one end bent horizontally and the other end bent vertically. A second rotating shaft 522 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 520 bent horizontally. A rolling bearing is provided on the second rotating shaft 522. The rolling bearing is horizontally placed and has a bearing hole. The turntable 530 and the base 500 abut against the rolling bearing of the second rotating shaft 522, one above the other. The turntable 530 has a first mounting through hole 531 at the position corresponding to the bearing hole. Similarly, the base 500 has a second mounting through hole 511 at the position corresponding to the bearing hole. The screw 540 passes through the first mounting through hole 531, the bearing hole and the second mounting through hole 511 from top to bottom and is fastened together with the nut 550 to complete the rotational connection between the turntable 530 and the base 500. The turntable 530 is then fastened to the stool body 100 by welding or threaded connection.

[0035] When a user sits on the multi-functional stool, the stool can cause the turntable 530 to rotate around the second pivot 522 on the base 500, making it easy for the user to choose the desired sitting posture and facing direction. When the multi-functional stool is used as a bedside table, it is often inconvenient for the user to reach or place items at the far end of the bedside table while lying in bed. Firstly, the user's arm is not long enough to reach the far end of the bedside table, and secondly, the arm is likely to bump into other items on the bedside table, causing the items to fall to the ground or even break, resulting in economic losses. However, the multi-functional stool in this embodiment can rotate, allowing the user to easily reach or place items located at the far end of the bedside table by rotating the stool. The solution in this embodiment has strong adaptability and improves the user experience.

[0036] It is worth noting that the chassis 510 is made of iron, which gives it a greater mass and makes the multi-functional stool less likely to tip over, thus ensuring the safety of the user.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pivot 520 has a first pivot 521 at the end bent in the vertical direction. The flip cover 200 is connected to the first pivot 521, so that the flip cover 200 can rotate relative to the stool body 100 around the first pivot 521. A limiting device is provided in the first pivot 521. When the flip cover 200 is flipped 90° from the end of the stool body 100, the limiting device automatically restricts the flip cover 200 from flipping and fixes the flip cover 200. When it is necessary to flip the flip cover 200 back onto the stool body 100, it is only necessary to release the limiting device and flip the flip cover 200 back. This limiting device, which uses a limiting block or retaining ring installed at the pivot, is well known in the art, and its specific structure will not be described here.

[0038] Furthermore, please combine Figures 3 to 5 It is understood that the flip cover has a handle at the edge for the user to turn the flip cover, and the handle and the first pivot are located on opposite sides of the flip cover. That is to say, the flip cover 200 has a belt handle 210 on the edge of its bottom surface, and the belt handle 210 and the first pivot 521 of the pivot component 520 are located on the same axis of symmetry of the flip cover 200 to achieve the most effortless effect.

[0039] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
