Abstract

A honeycomb table, including an upper skin tapped with holes for mounting equipments, a lower skin with a plurality of holes, a honeycomb core layer, connecting side walls, a number of cups and funnels in honeycomb core cells one-to-one. The cups are positioned on the holes in the lower skin. The cups and funnels prevent contaminants and residue from reaching the interior of the honeycomb core, such that the honeycomb can be continuously maintained in a clean working condition.

Claims (21)

1. A honeycomb table, comprising:

a tabletop having

an upper skin comprising tapped holes for mounting equipments,

a lower skin having a plurality of holes,

a honeycomb core layer having a plurality of honeycomb core cells between the upper skin and the lower skin, each of the honeycomb core cells having an inner wall,

a side wall connecting the upper skin and the lower skin;

a plurality of funnels inside the honeycomb core cells, each of the funnels having an upper limb with a top rim and a lower limb with a bottom rim, and the top rim of the upper limb being situated at a distance away from the tapped holes of the upper skin; and

small cups, each of the small cups covering on said holes in the lower skin,

wherein each of the holes of the lower skin is perforating line boring to the honeycomb core cells and having one-to-one relation to the honeycomb core cell.

2. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein said holes in the lower skin are through holes, tapped holes, or a mixture thereof, and said holes in the lower skin provide for mounting vibration isolation supports.

3. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein diameter of said holes in the lower skin is greater than diameter of said tapped holes in the upper skin.

4. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein the bottom rim of the lower limbs of said funnels connect with top of the holes in the lower skin, and the top rim of the upper limbs of the funnels are fixed on inner walls of the honeycomb core cells.

5. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein said funnels are conical funnels or bowl-shaped funnels.

6. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein said funnels are made from chemically resistant material.

7. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein a length of said small cups equals to or is shorter than depth of the holes in the lower skin.

8. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein said small cups are made from chemically resistant material.

9. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein said small cups are assembled to said holes with magnitude of interference.

10. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein each of the funnels is inside one of the honeycomb cells.

11. The honeycomb table of claim 10 , wherein each of the honeycomb cell has one funnel.

12. The honeycomb table of claim 10 , wherein some of the honeycomb cells do not have the funnel inside.

13. The honeycomb table of claim 1 , wherein each of the honeycomb cells and funnels therein corresponds to two or more tapped holes of the upper skin.
