Telescopic panel component and table
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The size of the panel component in existing tables is fixed, limiting their usability in various spaces, as a larger panel is needed for larger spaces and a smaller panel for smaller spaces, thus restricting their application range and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A telescopic panel component with a frame, first, second, and optionally third panels, where the second and third panels slide along a slideway to adjust the panel's size, with rotatable connections and locking mechanisms to transition between retracted and unfolded states, allowing the panel to adapt to different space requirements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the panel component size is increased to suit larger spaces, then the usable area is improved, but the table cannot be used in smaller spaces, reducing adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The panel component transitions from a fixed static structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. The second panel can slide along the slideway to change its position relative to the first panel, and the first panel can rotate between different positions (below the second panel or spliced with it), enabling the panel component to adapt its size to different space requirements
Solution Approach 2:
The panel component is divided into multiple independent panels (first panel and second panel) that can move relative to each other. This segmentation allows the component to change its overall size by adjusting the relative positions of the panels, rather than being a single fixed-size panel
2Adaptability or versatility
If the panel component size is decreased to suit smaller spaces, then the adaptability is improved, but the usable area is reduced, making it insufficient for larger spaces
Solution Approach 1:
The dynamic adjustment mechanism allows the panel component to expand to a larger area when needed for spacious environments by sliding the second panel and rotating the first panel to create a spliced configuration, thus providing sufficient usable area while maintaining adaptability
3Device complexity
If a fixed panel size is used, then the structure is simple, but the application range is limited and convenience is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The introduction of movable components (slideway for second panel, rotating connection for first panel) transforms the fixed structure into a dynamic one. While this increases structural complexity, it enables the panel component to adapt to various space sizes, significantly expanding its application range and convenience
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustable panel component design allows a single table structure to serve multiple functions and adapt to different usage scenarios (small spaces vs. large spaces), making it a universal solution rather than requiring different tables for different space requirements

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a telescopic panel component and a table, relates to the technical field of furniture, and solves the technical problem that the size of a panel component of a table is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The telescopic panel component comprises a frame, a first panel and a second panel, wherein a slideway is provided on the frame, and the second panel is slidably connected with the slideway; the panel component has a retracted state and an unfolded state, and when the second panel slides along the slideway to the side of the first panel under the action of an external force, the first panel is rotatable on the frame; the first panel turns over forward, and the first panel is rotatable below the second panel, so that the panel component is in the retracted state; the first panel turns over reversely, and the first panel is rotatable to the position where the first panel is spliced with the second panel, so that the panel component is in the unfolded state. The supporting area of the panel component surface can be adjusted telescopically, which can be applied to holes in a smaller space and a larger space, thus improving the universality of the table and making it more convenient to use.
