Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to life furniture technical field especially, relate to a rotary tea table. BACKGROUND

[0002] The table top of the tea table is generally provided with a plurality of supporting legs. If the span between two adjacent supporting legs is too large, the middle part of the table top will not be supported enough, and after placing heavy objects or long-term use, the table top is prone to sinking, deformation or even cracking in the middle part, affecting the structural stability and service life of the tea table.

[0003] If the span between two adjacent supporting legs is reduced, the structural strength can be enhanced, but the small spacing between adjacent supporting legs will seriously limit the passage space at the bottom of the tea table. This makes the common sweeping robot on the market unable to enter due to width limitation, and also hinders the use of cleaning tools such as brooms and mops for thorough cleaning, resulting in dust and hair accumulation at the bottom of the tea table, which becomes a dead corner of health, not only increasing the user's daily maintenance burden, but also affecting the cleanliness and health of the indoor environment.

[0004] Therefore, the tea table of the prior art has a dilemma in the design of the supporting leg span: too large span, unstable structure; too small span, inconvenient cleaning.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this background section is only included to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore can include information that does not form prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art at the present time. SUMMARY

[0006] One object of the present utility model is to provide a rotary tea table that effectively balances structural stability and easy cleaning of the bottom.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a rotary tea table, comprising:

[0008] A main tea table comprising a main table top and a main supporting leg at the bottom of the main table top;

[0009] A rotary horizontal movement connecting assembly installed on the bottom surface of the main tea table;

[0010] A secondary tea table comprising a secondary table top lower than the main table top and connected to the main tea table through the rotary horizontal movement connecting assembly, and a secondary supporting leg at the bottom of the secondary table top;

[0011] The secondary coffee table has an unfolded state in which it moves away from the main coffee table via the rotating and lateral connecting assembly, so that the secondary support legs move away from the main support legs; and a folded state in which it moves towards the main coffee table via the rotating and lateral connecting assembly, so that the secondary support legs move closer to the main support legs.

[0012] Optionally, the rotational lateral connection assembly includes:

[0013] A rotating plate, one end of which is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the main platform around a vertical axis, and the other end extends laterally to the bottom of the sub-platform and is provided with a strip groove;

[0014] The limiting post is installed at one end on the bottom surface of the sub-platform and inserted into the strip groove at the other end.

[0015] Optionally, both of the support legs include an arc-shaped base plate located below the corresponding platform and a plurality of support uprights connecting the arc-shaped base plate to the corresponding platform.

[0016] Optionally, when the secondary coffee table is in the folded state, the projection of the center of gravity of the rotating coffee table in the vertical direction falls on the projection of the main support leg in the vertical direction.

[0017] Optionally, the central angle of the arc-shaped base plate is greater than or equal to 180°.

[0018] Optionally, both of the aforementioned arc-shaped base plates are equipped with casters on their bottom surfaces.

[0019] Optionally, the radius of the curved base plate of the secondary coffee table is smaller than the radius of the curved base plate of the main coffee table.

[0020] Optionally, both the main tabletop and the secondary tabletop are circular structures, and the diameter of the main tabletop is greater than or equal to the diameter of the secondary tabletop.

[0021] When the secondary coffee table is in the folded state, the main tabletop is located directly above the secondary tabletop and completely covers it.

[0022] Optionally, the main countertop and / or the secondary countertop may have storage drawers on their circumferential sides.

[0023] Optionally, the drawer panel of the storage drawer is provided with a drawer handle.

[0024] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that it provides a rotating coffee table:

[0025] (1) From the collapsed state to the unfolded state:

[0026] When the user needs to expand the usable countertop area, the user drives the secondary countertop away from the main coffee table. The rotating lateral connection assembly first allows the secondary coffee table to perform a lateral translational movement, causing the secondary support legs to begin moving away from the main support legs.

[0027] During this process, the rotating lateral connecting assembly typically also guides the secondary coffee table to rotate relative to a vertical axis. This combined movement of "lateral movement" and "rotation" allows the secondary coffee table to be moved smoothly from under or to the side of the main coffee table.

[0028] When the secondary coffee table is moved to a predetermined position and the rotating lateral connecting assembly reaches the end of its stroke or the position desired by the user, the movement stops. At this time, the rotating coffee table enters the "expanded state". In this state, the secondary support legs are spaced further apart from the main support legs, and the main tabletop and the secondary tabletop together form a continuous, larger, and more practical tabletop.

[0029] (2) From unfolded state to collapsed state:

[0030] When space needs to be saved, passage needs to be facilitated, or conditions need to be created for floor cleaning (especially robotic cleaning), the user can push or pull the secondary countertop horizontally toward the main coffee table.

[0031] Similarly, through the action of the rotating and lateral connecting component, the secondary coffee table moves along a trajectory opposite to that when it is unfolded, performing a combined "lateral" and "rotation" motion, and moves closer to the main coffee table.

[0032] The secondary support foot then moves closer to the main support foot, and the distance between them continuously decreases.

[0033] When the secondary coffee table is fully reset and the rotating transverse connecting assembly is in the folded position, the rotating coffee table enters a "folded state." In this state, the secondary support legs are very close to, or even flush with, the main support legs. This transforms the large, difficult-to-clean area formed by two far apart support legs in the unfolded state into a small, even negligible, concentrated area formed by two closely spaced support legs. This allows cleaning robots (such as robotic vacuum cleaners) to clean most of the floor under the coffee table (the area outside the two support legs) in a straight, efficient path, without having to navigate complexly between multiple support legs, greatly reducing blind spots and significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0034] Therefore, the rotating coffee table provided by this utility model can effectively balance structural stability and easy cleaning of the bottom space. Attached Figure Description

[0053] This utility model provides a rotating coffee table that effectively balances structural stability and easy cleaning of the bottom space.

[0054] See Figures 1-4 The rotating coffee table provided in this embodiment includes:

[0055] The main coffee table 1 includes a main tabletop 101 and a main support leg 102 located at the bottom of the main tabletop 101;

[0056] The rotating and sliding connecting component 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the main coffee table 1;

[0057] The secondary coffee table 3 includes a secondary tabletop 301 that is lower than the main tabletop 101 and connected to the main coffee table 1 through the rotating and sliding connecting assembly 2, and a secondary support leg 302 located at the bottom of the secondary tabletop 301.

[0058] The secondary coffee table 3 is in an unfolded state where it can move away from the main coffee table 1 via the rotating and sliding connecting assembly 2, so that the secondary support leg 302 moves away from the main support leg 102 (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (as shown); and a folded state in which the secondary support leg 302 moves toward the main coffee table 1 via the rotating transverse connecting assembly 2, so that the secondary support leg 302 is close to the main support leg 102 (as shown). Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown).

[0059] (1) From the collapsed state to the unfolded state:

[0060] When the usable countertop area needs to be expanded, the user drives the secondary countertop 301 away from the main coffee table 1. The rotating and sliding connection assembly 2 first allows the secondary coffee table 3 to produce a lateral translational movement, causing the secondary support leg 302 to begin to move away from the main support leg 102.

[0061] During this process, the rotating and lateral connecting assembly 2 also typically guides the secondary coffee table 3 to rotate relative to a vertical axis. This combined movement of "lateral movement" and "rotation" allows the secondary coffee table 3 to move smoothly from under or to the side of the main coffee table 1.

[0062] When the secondary coffee table 3 is moved to a predetermined position and the rotating lateral connecting assembly 2 reaches the end of its stroke or the position required by the user, the movement stops. At this time, the rotating coffee table enters the "unfolded state". In this state, the secondary support leg 302 is far apart from the main support leg 102, and the main tabletop 101 and the secondary tabletop 301 together form a continuous, larger, and more practical tabletop.

[0063] (2) From unfolded state to collapsed state:

[0064] When space needs to be saved, passage needs to be facilitated, or conditions need to be created for floor cleaning (especially robotic cleaning), the user can push or pull the secondary tabletop 301 horizontally toward the main coffee table 1.

[0065] Similarly, through the action of the rotating and lateral connecting component 2, the secondary coffee table 3 moves along a trajectory opposite to that during unfolding, performing a combined "lateral" and "rotation" motion, and moves closer to the main coffee table 1.

[0066] The secondary support foot 302 then moves closer to the main support foot 102, and the distance between the two continuously decreases.

[0067] When the secondary coffee table 3 is fully reset and the rotating transverse connecting assembly 2 is in the folded position, the rotating coffee table enters a "folded state." In this state, the secondary support leg 302 is very close to, or even tightly against, the main support leg 102. This transforms the large, difficult-to-clean area formed by two mutually distant support legs in the unfolded state into a small, even negligible, concentrated area formed by two closely spaced support legs. This allows cleaning robots (such as robotic vacuum cleaners) to clean most of the floor under the coffee table (the area outside the two support legs) in a straight, efficient path, without having to navigate complexly between multiple support legs, greatly reducing blind spots and significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0068] Therefore, the rotating coffee table provided by this utility model can effectively balance structural stability and easy cleaning of the bottom space.

[0069] In this embodiment, the rotational transverse connection component 2 includes:

[0070] The rotating plate 201 has one end rotatably mounted on the bottom of the main platform 101 around a vertical axis, and the other end extends laterally to the bottom of the secondary platform 301 and is provided with a strip groove 2011.

[0071] The limiting post 202 is installed at one end on the bottom surface of the sub-platform 301 and the other end is inserted into the strip groove 2011.

[0072] It is understood that the limiting post 202 can slide and rotate freely within the limiting groove, allowing the distance between the two supporting legs to be continuously adjustable to adapt to the needs of different unfolding scenarios. When the secondary coffee table 3 is moved, the rotating plate 201 installed at the bottom of the main tabletop 101 will rotate around its rotation point. Simultaneously, the limiting post 202 installed at the bottom of the secondary tabletop 301 slides and rotates synchronously within the strip groove 2011 of the rotating plate 201. The length of the strip groove 2011 limits the maximum range of movement of the secondary coffee table 3, and its trajectory is determined by the rotation of the rotating plate 201 and the sliding of the limiting post 202 within the groove.

[0073] In this embodiment, both support legs include an arc-shaped base plate 1021 located below the corresponding tabletop, and a plurality of support rods 1022 connecting the arc-shaped base plate 1021 to the corresponding tabletop. The arc-shaped base plate 1021 provides a wide ground contact area for the support legs, greatly enhancing the stability of the coffee table and effectively preventing tipping due to uneven tabletop load or collisions. Furthermore, the arc-shaped design is more aesthetically pleasing and modern than simple straight legs.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the secondary coffee table 3 is in the folded state, the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the rotating coffee table falls within the vertical projection of the main support leg 102. For example, the central angle of the arc-shaped base plate 1021 is greater than or equal to 180°. The arc-shaped base plate 1021 with a central angle ≥180° can provide support exceeding a semicircular range, thereby ensuring that even when the secondary coffee table 3 is folded, the coffee table remains stable and will not easily tip over due to the center of gravity projection falling outside the support surface.

[0075] Optionally, both curved base plates 1021 are equipped with casters on their bottom surfaces. Users only need to apply a small pushing force to move the entire coffee table. This greatly improves the ease of moving the coffee table, facilitating daily cleaning (such as manual cleaning) or changing the interior layout.

[0076] In this embodiment, the radius of the curved base plate 1021 of the secondary coffee table 3 is smaller than the radius of the curved base plate 1021 of the main coffee table 1. When folded, the smaller-radius curved base plate 1021 of the secondary coffee table 3 can be more tightly folded into the inner side of the larger-radius curved base plate 1021 of the main coffee table 1. This results in a more compact folded state, minimizing the overall footprint, maximizing space utilization, and creating a cleaner appearance. It also minimizes the cleaning blind spot between the two support legs when folded.

[0077] In this embodiment, both the main platform 101 and the secondary platform 301 are circular structures, and the diameter of the main platform 101 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the secondary platform 301.

[0078] When the secondary coffee table 3 is in the folded state, the main tabletop 101 is located directly above and completely covers the secondary tabletop 301. The circular tabletop facilitates rotation. When folded, the larger diameter main tabletop 101 can completely cover the smaller diameter secondary tabletop 301. After folding, a complete circular tabletop is formed, which has a uniform and beautiful appearance and can also provide dust protection for the secondary tabletop 301 below.

[0079] Optionally, storage drawers 4 are provided on the circumferential sides of the main tabletop 101 and / or the secondary tabletop 301. Further, the drawer panel of the storage drawer 4 is provided with a drawer handle 401. Users can pull out the storage drawer 4 located on the side of the tabletop to store or retrieve small items. This adds storage functionality to the basic functions of the coffee table, enhancing the product's practicality and added value, and helping to keep the tabletop tidy.

[0080] The rotating coffee table provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0081] ① The translation and rotation of the secondary coffee table 3 are achieved by rotating and sliding the connecting component 2, so that the coffee table can smoothly switch between unfolded and folded states, taking into account both usable area and space saving.

[0082] ② The rotating plate 201 with a strip groove 2011 and the limiting post 202 are used in combination to realize the controllable adjustment of the movement range of the secondary coffee table 3. The structure is simple and the movement trajectory is stable.

[0083] ③ The arc-shaped base plate has a central angle of ≥180°, providing a super semi-circular support range to further ensure the anti-overturning capability in the folded state.

[0084] ④ The radius of the curved base plate 1021 of the secondary coffee table 3 is smaller than that of the curved base plate 1021 of the main coffee table 1, so that the two can fit together tightly when folded, reducing the floor space and cleaning blind spots.

[0085] ⑤ A circular tabletop is used, and the diameter of the main tabletop 101 is greater than or equal to that of the secondary tabletop 301. When folded, the main tabletop 101 completely covers the secondary tabletop 301, resulting in a neat appearance and dust protection.

[0086] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
