Cable management structure applied in table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Exposed cables on electric tables are aesthetically unpleasing and prone to damage due to displacement, affecting the table's operation.
Innovation Solution
A cable management structure comprising a revolving column, supporting columns, and rollers that guide and store cables, preventing exposure and allowing for length adjustment to accommodate different table sizes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the cable is exposed out of the table body for easy access and connection, then the cable can be easily connected to power source, but the appearance of the table is affected and the cable may be damaged during displacement
Solution Approach 1:
The cable management structure extracts the cable from the external exposed position and relocates it into the internal hollow cavity of the table body through the cable passage, separating the cable routing function from the table's external appearance while maintaining electrical connectivity functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The cable passage is nested within the table body's hollow cavity, creating a hierarchical structure where the cable routing channel is embedded inside the table's internal space, allowing the cable to be concealed while remaining accessible for connection purposes
2Ease of operation
If the cable is exposed out of the table body for easy access, then the cable can be easily connected, but the cable may be pulled and damaged when the table is displaced
Solution Approach 1:
The cable is extracted from the vulnerable external exposed position and relocated into the protected internal hollow cavity of the table body, removing it from the harmful displacement environment while preserving its electrical connection function
Solution Approach 2:
The cable passage and internal routing structure provide beforehand protection against cable damage by pre-positioning the cable within the table body's hollow cavity, creating a buffer zone that prevents direct exposure to external pulling forces during table displacement
3Shape
If a fixed cable management structure is used, then the cable can be neatly managed, but it cannot accommodate tables with different plate lengths
Solution Approach 1:
The cable passage is designed as an adjustable dynamic structure that can change its configuration or length to accommodate different table plate lengths, transforming the fixed cable management system into an adaptable one that maintains neat cable routing across various table sizes
Solution Approach 2:
The cable management structure is designed with universal adaptability to serve multiple table configurations, allowing the same structure to effectively manage cables for tables with different plate lengths through adjustment mechanisms

AI summary
A cable management structure applied in a table is disclosed. A revolving column has a first end and a second end. A pair of revolving rollers are disposed in the revolving column and includes a first revolving roller and a second revolving roller arranged spacedly. A pair of supporting columns include a first supporting column forming a first sleeve segment and a second supporting column forming a second sleeve segment. A pair of adjusting rollers include a first and a second adjusting roller disposed in the first sleeve segment and in the second sleeve segment. A cable penetrates the first supporting column and passes around the first adjusting roller, and revolves to the first revolving roller, and passes around the first revolving roller and passes around the second adjusting roller, and revolves to the second revolving roller so as to turn and penetrate into the second supporting column.
