Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing game tables are difficult for consumers to assemble, lacking a simple and efficient mechanism for combining the table frame and face board.
Innovation Solution
A game table design featuring a rectangular table frame with elongated transverse connection boards, support boards, and adjustable assemblies that facilitate easy alignment and secure attachment of the table face board to the frame, using locating members and adjustable components to simplify assembly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional game table assembly methods are used, then structural strength is maintained, but assembly difficulty increases and consumer assembly becomes impractical
Solution Approach 1:
The game table is divided into separate modular components including the table frame, table top, support legs, and connection pieces. Each component can be independently manufactured and assembled, transforming a complex monolithic structure into manageable segments that consumers can easily put together.
Solution Approach 2:
Connection pieces serve as intermediary elements between the table frame and support legs, providing a simplified interface for assembly. These connection pieces include features like slots and holes that guide proper alignment and enable easy attachment without requiring complex fastening operations.
2Manufacturing precision
If the table face board is directly attached to the table frame, then assembly is simple, but positioning precision and alignment are poor
Solution Approach 1:
Connection pieces act as intermediary components between the table frame and table top, incorporating slots and holes that provide guiding functionality. These intermediaries ensure precise positioning and alignment during assembly without requiring the table top to be directly attached to the frame, thereby improving manufacturing precision while maintaining manageable complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection pieces are pre-configured with slots and holes in specific patterns that predetermined the correct positioning and orientation of the table top relative to the table frame. This preliminary arrangement of connection features guides the assembly process and ensures accurate alignment before final attachment.
3Strength
If multiple fastening points are used to secure the table top, then connection strength increases, but assembly time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The connection system is segmented into multiple discrete connection pieces distributed at different locations between the table frame and table top. Each connection piece handles a portion of the load, allowing the use of fewer fasteners per connection point while maintaining overall connection strength through the distributed arrangement of multiple connection locations.

AI summary
A game table assembly structure includes a table frame and a table face board, the table frame is composed of two pairs of sideboards. Four connection boards are disposed on top edges of the sideboards. At least one support board is disposed in the table frame with two ends connected with a pair of sideboards. The top edge of the support board is higher than the connection boards. Four connecting boards are connected under the bottom face of the table face board and define a locating space therein. When assembled, the table face board is placed on the table frame with the connecting boards and the connecting boards up and down corresponding to each other for connection, the top end of the support board fitted in the locating space. The table face board can be easily located on and assembled with the table frame.
