Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tables with integral structures or detachable plates and legs are cumbersome and costly to transport due to their large size and weight, and require laborious assembly by users.
Innovation Solution
An easy-to-transport assembled table design featuring a split table top composed of multiple plates, each with a storage cavity for legs and other components, allowing for compact packaging and easy assembly using bolts and threaded holes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the table top is made as an integral structure, then the table has good structural strength, but the table becomes difficult to transport and carry
Solution Approach 1:
The table top is divided into multiple detachable table plates that can be separated from table legs. Each table plate can be independently handled and stored, making the table easy to disassemble, transport, and carry while maintaining structural integrity when assembled.
2Area of stationary object
If the table plate is made large to provide sufficient surface area, then the table functionality is improved, but the transportation cost and difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The large table surface is achieved by assembling multiple smaller table plates together. When not in use, these plates can be detached and stacked or stored separately, reducing the space required for transportation and storage while providing sufficient surface area when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The table plates are designed with nested storage capabilities where smaller plates can be placed within or alongside larger plates during storage and transport, optimizing space utilization while maintaining the functionality of a large table surface when assembled.
3Ease of operation
If the table plate is made detachable to ease transport, then transportation becomes easier, but assembly becomes time-consuming and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The table plates and table legs are designed with pre-configured connection structures including matching holes and protrusions. This preliminary design of connection interfaces enables users to quickly assemble the table by simply aligning and connecting components without requiring complex assembly procedures or tools.
4Reliability
If the table plate is made heavy to ensure durability, then the table structure becomes more reliable, but the table becomes difficult to handle during installation and transport
Solution Approach 1:
The table is divided into separate components (table plates and table legs) that can be handled individually. Each component is designed to be lightweight enough for easy handling while the overall assembled structure maintains sufficient durability and reliability for its intended use.

AI summary
The present invention relates to the technical field of tableware, in particular to an easy-to-transport assembled table, including table legs disposed at each of four corners of a lower end surface of a table top and fixed by bolts, where the table top is assembled by at least one first table plate. By adopting the present invention, the technical problem that due to a relatively large overall size, an existing table is inconvenient to transport, and is inconvenient for a user to carry when the user goes out, can be solved.
