Cordless height-adjustable instrument table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cordless height-adjustable instrument tables lack the ability to be easily raised or lowered using touch buttons, and they do not provide the flexibility of extending the table length and width as needed by users.
Innovation Solution
A cordless height-adjustable instrument table with a centralized height-adjustment column fixed above a four-wheel base, equipped with a motor housing, rechargeable lithium battery pack, and easy touch buttons for manual control, along with telescoping vertical support legs and extensions that can be manually inserted to increase the table's length and width.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a cordless height-adjustable instrument table is designed without touch button controls and extension capabilities, then the device structure remains simple, but the ease of operation and adaptability are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The table incorporates easy touch buttons that allow users to independently control height adjustment without requiring complex manual operations or external assistance. The motorized system responds automatically to button inputs, enabling self-service height adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The table design integrates multiple functions including height adjustment via touch buttons, extension capabilities for length and width, and cordless operation with battery power. This multi-functionality addresses diverse operational needs within a single device.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the table is designed with fixed dimensions, then the device complexity is low, but the adaptability to different workspaces is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The table is divided into modular components including extendable length sections and width extensions that can be added or removed. This segmentation allows the table to be configured for different workspace requirements while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The table incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities through motorized height control and manual extension mechanisms, allowing the dimensions to change based on operational needs rather than being fixed during manufacturing.
3Ease of operation
If the table uses corded power supply, then the power availability is continuous, but the mobility and ease of repositioning are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The electrical cord is extracted from the system by implementing a cordless design with an integrated rechargeable lithium battery pack. This removal of the external power cord enables free movement and repositioning of the table without electrical constraints.
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply system transitions from continuous AC power through a cord to a finite-capacity rechargeable battery system. This parameter change in energy supply methodology enables mobility while providing sufficient operational duration for typical use cases.

AI summary
A cordless height-adjustable instrument table is disclosed. The table includes a plurality of vertical support legs that are equally spaced at each side of a centralized height-adjustment column that is fixedly attached to the bottom portion of the table. The centralized height-adjustment column is fixedly placed above a four-wheel base that is coupled to a motor housing including a charging port, a rechargeable lithium battery pack, and electronic components being provided therein. The table further includes easy touch buttons for raising and lowering the table and a plurality of table extensions that increase the length and width. In practice, the user can actuate the easy touch buttons until a desired height of the table is obtained. A readily available 12-hour rechargeable lithium battery from retailers or manufactures is integrated for prolonged use of the table.
