Solution Overview

Problem

Existing steel frame tables with welded legs have large packaging volumes and are prone to damage during transportation, leading to increased costs and poor customer experience.

Innovation Solution

A detachable table leg structure comprising a jointing member and leg bodies with vertical and horizontal connecting members, allowing for disassembly during packaging and transportation, thereby reducing packaging volume and improving stability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If table legs are welded into an integrated frame to ensure stability, then the strength and stability of the table legs are improved, but the packaging volume increases and the table becomes prone to deformation and damage during transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrength and stability of table legsVSAvoidpackaging volume
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The table leg structure is divided into multiple detachable segments: leg bodies, jointing members, and connecting members. These segments can be separated for packaging, reducing packaging volume while maintaining structural integrity when assembled. The jointing members with connecting holes allow for easy assembly and disassembly without compromising strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If table legs are welded into an integrated frame, then structural stability is improved, but the table is easily deformed and damaged during transportation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidresistance to deformation and damage during transportation
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the table leg structure into detachable parts connected through jointing members, the design allows for careful handling and packaging of individual components, reducing the risk of deformation and damage during transportation while maintaining structural stability when assembled.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The connecting mechanism uses adjustable parameters such as slot positions and connecting hole arrangements to ensure proper alignment and secure connection of leg segments, maintaining structural stability while allowing for disassembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Strength

If table legs are made as large integrated frames, then strength is ensured, but the packaging and transportation costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestrength of table legsVSAvoidpackaging and transportation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The detachable table leg structure divides the leg assembly into separate components that can be packaged more efficiently, increasing loading capacity and reducing transportation costs while maintaining the required strength through proper connection design at the jointing members.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to the field of furniture design, specifically to a detachable table leg structure, a detachable under-table structure, and a table. The table includes a jointing member and two leg bodies. Each leg body includes a vertical support member and a horizontal connecting member. The jointing member is configured to be located between the two horizontal connecting members, allowing alignment of the jointing member and the two horizontal connecting members on the same horizontal axis. The overall structure of the presence disclosure is stable and easy to assemble and disassemble, which makes the entire structure detachable, reduces packaging volume, increases loading capacity, lowers logistics and storage costs, and improves transportation efficiency, addressing the issues of current steel frame tables with welded legs and resulting in large packaging volumes and a high risk of damage during transportation.
