Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rotating table, and particularly to a rotating table suitable as a table for Chinese cuisine.

[Prior art]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, rotating dining tables have been used mainly in Chinese restaurants so that various dishes can be prepared at will. This rotating dining table is a small circular table that can be rotated manually or electrically on top of a regular table, and serving is done by waiters and waitresses outside the rotating dining table. This caused some inconvenience as it took time to respond to customers.

[Purpose of invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a carousel that allows quick service and serving while also having the advantages of a conventional carousel.

[Structure of the idea]

The rotating table according to the invention includes a support stand placed on the floor or a table, a lower ring member fixed above the support stand, and an inner side of the lower ring member such that a space for a person to enter is formed in the center. an inner ring rotatably supported on the lower ring member via a ball bearing; a driving means for rotationally driving the inner ring with respect to the lower ring member; and a ball bearing located on the outer periphery of the inner ring. It consists of an upper ring member that is rotatably supported on the inner ring via the inner ring, and an annular rotary table that is fixed on the upper ring member.

[Effect of idea]

The rotary table according to the present invention allows a waiter or waitress to serve inside the rotary table, so that detailed service can be provided to the customers, and the customers can freely and arbitrarily select various dishes on the annular rotary table. That is, the rotary table according to the present invention has both the advantages of a conventional rotary table and a counter. This rotating table can be used not only as a dining table, but also as a table for displaying products.

[An example of the idea]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, referring to FIG. 1, the rotating dining table shown in this figure includes a support stand A installed on the floor or a table;
An annular turntable B is rotatably mounted on the pedestal A.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support base A has outer rings 3, 3' and inner rings 4, 4' provided on the upper surface of a pedestal 2 having a disc-shaped peripheral wall 1 on opposing peripheral surfaces. Two ball-bearing-shaped upper parts that accommodate a large number of spheres between grooves and are rotatably connected to each other.
The lower ring members 5, 5' are overlapped, and the upper and lower fitting members 5,
The inner rings 4, 4' of the lower ring member 5' are fixed by tightening them at several places with the bolts 7 with the spacer 6 in between, and the outer ring 3' of the lower ring member 5' is secured to the upper edge of the pedestal 2 with the bolts 7'. The upper ring member 5 is configured to be rotated by rotating the inner ring 4' of the lower ring member 5'.

Next, reference numeral 8 denotes a motor for rotating the inner rings 4, 4', whose motor base 9 is pivotally supported by a tightening screw 11 on a protrusion 10 provided at the bottom of the base 2. The position can be adjusted via a tightening screw 13. A vertical shaft 15 having a rubber friction wheel 14 at its upper end is erected on the motor stand 9, and the rotation of the motor 8 is transmitted through spur gears 16, 16 and a worm gear 17. Reference numerals 18, 19, and 20 are a motor speed control mechanism, a control knob, and a switch attached to the base 2, respectively. In addition, 21 is pedestal 2
This is a through hole provided in the bottom plate of the pedestal 2, and when it is installed on a mat, a part of the mat enters the through hole to stabilize the pedestal 2.

As shown in FIG. 1, the annular rotary table B is constructed as an annular body made of a material having a certain weight, such as artificial stone, and has a space (preferably circular) C in the center where a person can enter. This annular rotary table B has its rear peripheral edge connected to the upper ring member 5 of the rotary table A.
A receiving protrusion 22 protruding from the upper surface of the outer ring 3 is supported and mounted thereon.

This invention has the above-mentioned structure, and the rotation of the friction wheel 14 driven by the motor 8 is transmitted to the inner ring 4', which is connected to the inner ring 4 and the bolt 7...
Since it is fixed by ..., the inner ring 4 also rotates. The rotation of the inner ring 4 is transmitted to the outer ring 3 through the frictional force of a large number of spheres housed between the outer ring 3 and the outer ring 3. Therefore, the outer ring 3 is rotated together with the inner rings 4 and 4' in the direction of the arrow in FIG. Then, the annular rotary table B mounted on the outer ring 3 is rotated.

In this way, the annular rotary table B is always rotating at a low speed, but if you press the right place on the periphery of the annular rotary table B with your hand to take out the food on the annular rotary table B, the inner ring 4 will overcome the frictional force of the rolling ball. Therefore, each rolling ball rotates along the inner ring 4, and the outer ring 3 can be stopped in that state. Then, when the user releases his/her hand, the outer ring 3 begins to rotate together with the inner ring 4 again through the frictional force of the rolling balls, and as a result, the annular rotary table B also begins to rotate.
