Rotatable Foldable Table Board to Reduce Multi-User Space Occupation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Foldable table boards in vehicles occupy excessive space, leading to a crowded environment due to the need for multiple boards to accommodate users sitting on different seats.
Innovation Solution
A foldable table board mechanism with a supporting assembly rotatably connected to a base, allowing the table board to switch between positions, and a driving mechanism to adjust its position automatically, reducing the need for multiple boards by adjusting to the user's position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple table boards are provided for users sitting on different seats, then user convenience is improved, but space occupation increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single table board is designed to serve multiple users sitting on different seats by enabling it to rotate between different positions. The table board can be positioned to serve users on the left seat, right seat, or both simultaneously, replacing the need for separate dedicated table boards for each user and thereby reducing overall space occupation while maintaining universal accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The table board is designed with rotational capability through a supporting assembly connected to the base, allowing it to dynamically change position between different orientations. This dynamic positioning enables one table board to adaptively serve multiple users in different seating positions, eliminating the need for multiple static table boards and reducing space requirements.
2Area of stationary object
If a single table board is used to reduce space occupation, then space efficiency is improved, but adaptability to different user positions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The table board incorporates a rotational mechanism with a supporting assembly that allows it to dynamically adjust its position between different orientations. This enables a single table board to adapt to various user positions (left seat, right seat, or both) maintaining versatility while occupying minimal space when folded.
Solution Approach 2:
The functionality of multiple table boards designed for different users is merged into a single table board through the rotational supporting assembly. This unified design allows one table board to perform the functions of multiple separate boards, achieving both space efficiency and adaptability through functional integration.
3Device complexity
If manual operation is required to adjust table board position, then device complexity is reduced, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The table board incorporates an automatic driving mechanism that enables self-service positioning. The driving mechanism automatically adjusts the table board to the appropriate position based on user needs, eliminating the need for manual operation while maintaining relatively simple device structure through integrated automatic control.

AI summary
A foldable table board, a furniture, and a vehicle are provided in the embodiments of the application. The foldable table board includes a table board mechanism and a base. The table board mechanism includes a supporting assembly and a table board arranged on the supporting assembly. The table board is movably connected with the supporting assembly to switch the table board between a folding state and an unfolding state relative to the supporting assembly. The base 1 is configured for carrying the table board mechanism, and the supporting assembly is rotatably connected with the base to rotate the table board between a first position and a second position relative to the base. The supporting assembly is rotatably connected with the base, and the position of the table board can be adjusted by rotating the supporting assembly. Thus, the position of the table board can be adjusted according to the actual position of the user, which is convenient for the user to use the table board. Since the table board can be rotated along with the supporting assembly to adjust the position thereof, the single table board can meet the use requirements when the user is in different positions. Therefore, the foldable table board can be provided with only one table board, the volume of the foldable table board can be reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied by the foldable table board.
