[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0042] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0044] It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the same figure mark is used to represent the same component or the same part. For the same parts in the embodiments of the present application, the figure may only mark one of the parts or components as an example. It should be understood that the figure mark also applies to other identical parts or components.

[0045] According to one aspect of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a table top, including a table top body 10 and a scroll 20 .

[0046] The table board body 10 can be bent to be in a rolled-up state and can be straightened to be in an unfolded state. The reel 20 is connected to one end of the table board body 10, and the reel 20 can roll up or release the table board body 10 by rotating, so that the table board body 10 switches between the rolled-up state and the unfolded state; wherein the table board body 10 has two opposite sides, and when the table board body 10 is in the unfolded state, the bending action of the table board body 10 to one side is restricted.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the table board has a simple structure. When the table board body 10 is in the unfolded state, the bending action of the table board body 10 to one side is restricted. At this time, the table board body 10 in the unfolded state remains straight for passengers to place items. The reel 20 can be rotated to wind or release the table board body 10, so that the table board body 10 switches between the rolled state and the unfolded state. The table board is easy to use and easy to store. It is small in size when stored, which is conducive to saving space.

[0048] It is understandable that when the table board body 10 is in the unfolded state, the bending action of the table board body 10 toward the downward side is restricted (i.e., the table board body 10 cannot bend downward), so that the upward side of the table board body 10 (i.e., the table top) can carry items. The table board is not limited to being used in the car mentioned in the background technology, but can also be used in other transportation vehicles (such as buses, high-speed trains or airplanes, etc.) for passengers to place items.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that since the bending action of the table top body 10 to one side is restricted when it is in the unfolded state, Fig. 9 As shown, when the table top is used in a vehicle, and the straightening direction of the table top body 10 (shown by X in the figure) is opposite to the driving direction of the vehicle (shown by V in the figure) and is tilted upward, when a collision occurs in front of the vehicle, the table top body 10 in the tilted state will tend to move forward due to inertia. When a front collision occurs when the designed speed is reached, the table top body 10 in the unfolded state moves forward, and then bends and folds toward the reel 20, away from the driver and passengers, and will not collide with the driver and passengers in the event of a collision, thereby protecting the driver and passengers.

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the table top body 10 has two opposite sides, namely a first side 101 and a second side 102; the table top body 10 is mainly composed of a plurality of support plates hinged in sequence, and when the table top body 10 is in an unfolded state, two adjacent support plates contact each other to limit the table top body 10 from bending toward the second side 102.

[0051] As configured above, when in the unfolded state, the table top body 10 is restricted from bending toward the second side 102 by utilizing the mutual interference between two adjacent support plates, without adding other components, and the structure is simple.

[0052] It is understandable that during normal use, when the table top body 10 is in the unfolded state, the first side 101 is the upward side of the table top body 10 , and the second side 102 is the downward side of the table top body 10 .

[0053] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two adjacent support plates are an inner support plate 11 and an outer support plate 12, respectively. The inner support plate 11 includes a first bottom plate 111 and two first side plates 112 arranged at both ends of the first bottom plate 111 and extending in the direction of the first side 101; the outer support plate 12 includes a second bottom plate 121 and two second side plates 122 arranged at both ends of the second bottom plate 121 and extending in the direction of the first side 101.

[0054] Among them, the two first side panels 112 of the inner support plate 11 and the two second side panels 122 of the outer support plate 12 are hinged one by one. When the table top body 10 is in the unfolded state, the adjacent first bottom panels 111 and second bottom panels 121 contact each other to limit the table top body 10 from bending toward the second side 102.

[0055] Through the above arrangement, the inner support plate 11 and the outer support plate 12 are both designed as U-shaped structures, the first bottom plate 111 of the inner support plate 11 and the second bottom plate 121 of the outer support plate 12 are provided to carry items, and the first side plate 112 of the inner support plate 11 and the second side plate 122 of the adjacent outer support plate 12 are rotatably connected by the pin 13 to realize the alternating hinge connection of the inner support plate 11 and the outer support plate 12. In addition, when the table board body 10 is straightened for the driver and passengers to place items, the two first side plates 112 of the inner support plate 11 and the two second side plates 122 of the outer support plate 12 can limit the items placed on the first bottom plate 111 and the second bottom plate 121 in the direction of the Y-axis of the illustrated spatial rectangular coordinate system to prevent the items from falling.

[0056] Specifically, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the straight direction of the table top body 10 (i.e., the direction of the X-axis of the spatial rectangular coordinate system shown in the figure), the axis positions of the pin holes at both ends of the first side plate 112 of the inner support plate 11 are flush with both ends of the first bottom plate 111, and the axis positions of the pin holes at both ends of the second side plate of the outer support plate 12 are flush with both ends of the second bottom plate. Figure 4As shown, when the table top body 10 is in the unfolded state, in the straightening direction of the table top body 10, the first bottom plate 111 of the inner support plate 11 abuts against the second bottom plate 121 of the adjacent outer support plate 12, thereby preventing the table top body 10 from bending toward the second side 102, while a unidirectional bend can be formed in the direction toward the first side 101.

[0057] In a more specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the table top body 10 is in the unfolded state, the surface of the first bottom plate 111 facing the first side 101 is flush with the surface of the second bottom plate 121 facing the first side 101 .

[0058] By means of the above arrangement, the surface on which the objects are placed is ensured to be flat, thereby improving the stability of the objects on the table top body 10.

[0059] In another specific embodiment, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, for different Figure 4 and Figure 5 Another structure of a table top body 10 is described, the inner support plate 11 of the table top body 10 includes a third bottom plate 113 and two third side plates 114 arranged at both ends of the third bottom plate 113 and extending in the direction of the first side 101, and in the straightening direction of the table top body 10, the axial positions of the pin holes at both ends of the third side plates 114 of the inner support plate 11 are flush with the two ends of the third bottom plate 113; the outer support plate 12 includes a fourth bottom plate 123 and two fourth side plates 124 arranged at both ends of the fourth bottom plate 123 and extending in the direction of the first side 101, and in the telescopic direction of the table top body 10, the two ends of the fourth side plates 124 of the outer support plate 12 have extension sections, and the two first side plates 112 of the inner support plate 11 are hingedly connected to the two second side plates 122 of the adjacent outer support plate 12 in a one-to-one manner, see Figure 7 In this embodiment, the extended section of the fourth bottom plate 123 forms a one-sided support for the third bottom plate 113, preventing the table top body 10 from bending toward the second side 102, while a one-way bend can be formed in the direction toward the first side 101.

[0060] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the table top body 10 may also adopt other structures, as long as it can remain straight when in the unfolded state and cannot bend toward the second side 102 when straightened.

[0061] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the table top further includes a guide assembly 30, which is configured to guide the movement of the table top body 10 when the table top body 10 is switched between the rolled state and the unfolded state.

[0062] By providing the guide assembly 30, the stability of the movement of the table top body 10 during the switching process between the rolled-up state and the unfolded state is improved.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide assembly 30 includes two relatively arranged guide members 31, and the two guide members 31 are both arranged close to the reel 20, and when the table board body 10 is in the unfolded state, the two guide members 31 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the table board body 10, and the guide members 31 include a supporting plate 311 and a side baffle 312 connected to the supporting plate 311, and the supporting plate 311 is used to provide support for the side of the table board body 10 away from the reel 20, and the table board body 10 is located between the two side baffles 312 of the two guide members 31 at the upper limit of the first direction, wherein the first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the reel 20.

[0064] The two oppositely disposed guide members 31 are used to guide the movement of the table board body 10, ensuring that the table board body 10 is smoothly wound and released on the reel 20, and at the same time, provide support for the released table board body 10, so that the released part remains straight for the driver and passengers to place items. In addition, the two side baffles 312 limit the table board body 10 in the first direction to prevent the table board body 10 from shaking in the first direction.

[0065] To facilitate the explanation of directions, a spatial rectangular coordinate system is established in the figure, wherein the direction of the X-axis is the extension and retraction direction of the table top body 10, and the direction of the Y-axis is the second direction.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide member 31 also includes a top plate 313 connected to the side baffle 312 and spaced apart from the supporting plate 311, and the table top body 10 is located between the supporting plate 311 and the top plate 313 at the upper limit of the second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the scroll 20 and the straightening direction of the table top body 10.

[0067] By setting as above, the table top body 10 is limited between the supporting plate 311 and the top plate 313 in the second direction (i.e., the direction where the Z-axis of the spatial rectangular coordinate system in the figure is located), which can avoid the table top body 10 from jumping in the second direction during the process of winding or releasing the table top body 10, and further ensure that the table top body 10 is stable and reliable during the process of folding and unfolding.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the distance between the top plate 313 and the supporting plate 311 of the same guide member 31 is greater at the end close to the reel 20 than at the end away from the reel 20 .

[0069] Through the above arrangement, the end of the guide member 31 close to the reel 20 is in a trumpet shape, and the guiding effect of the trumpet is utilized to ensure that the release process of the table top body 10 is smoother.

[0070] In some embodiments, the table top further includes a rotation driving member (not shown in the figure), and the output end of the rotation driving member is transmission-connected to the reel 20 to drive the reel 20 to rotate.

[0071] By providing a rotating drive member to drive the reel 20 to rotate, the table top body 10 can be automatically wound and released, making it more convenient to use.

[0072] Specifically, the rotary drive member includes, but is not limited to, an electric motor, a pneumatic motor, and a hydraulic motor capable of forward and reverse rotation.

[0073] In some embodiments, the table top further includes a counterweight 40 , and the counterweight 40 is disposed at an end of the table top body 10 away from the reel 20 .

[0074] It can be understood that the end of the table top body 10 away from the reel 20 is the end of the table top body 10 that is not connected to the reel 20 , that is, the movable end of the table top body 10 .

[0075] By providing a counterweight 40 at one end of the table top body 10 away from the reel 20, on the one hand, the weight of the movable end of the table top body 10 is increased, so that the table top body 10 in the unfolded state can be better maintained in an extended state to form a table top; on the other hand, when the table top is used in a vehicle, specifically, when it is arranged behind a seat, when the straightening direction of the table top body 10 in the unfolded state (shown by X in the figure) is opposite to the driving direction of the vehicle (shown by V in the figure) and is tilted upward, the counterweight 40 can increase the inertia of the movable end of the table top body 10, so that when a collision occurs in front of the vehicle, the straightened table top body 10 can bend and fold quickly toward the reel 20, thereby protecting the driver and passengers.

[0076] It should be noted that the collision test requirements for different vehicle models (such as buses and cars) are different. The collision test requirements of different vehicle models can be matched by simply adjusting the weight of the counterweight 40.

[0077] According to another aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body and a table top as in any of the above embodiments, wherein the table top is disposed on the vehicle body.

[0078] Since the vehicle has the above-mentioned table top, it also has the advantages and benefits brought by the above-mentioned table top. While providing the function of placing items for the driver and passengers, it is convenient to store after use, which is conducive to saving space in the vehicle.

[0079] Specifically, according to usage requirements, the table top can be set on the dashboard, central control box, back of the front table and chairs and other components of the vehicle body (shown by C in the figure), and a storage space with an opening is set in the corresponding component. The table top is set in the storage space, and the opening of the storage space allows the table top body 10 to extend outward.

[0080] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the straightening direction of the table top body 10 in the unfolded state (indicated by X in the figure) is opposite to the driving direction of the vehicle body (indicated by V in the figure), and the straightening direction of the table top body 10 is inclined upward.

[0081] Through the above arrangement, the table top body 10 extending outward is in an inclined state. On the one hand, it can prevent the objects placed thereon from sliding off the movable end of the table top body 10; on the other hand, when a collision occurs in front of the vehicle, the extended table top body 10 can bend and fold toward the roller 20, thereby protecting the driver and passengers.

[0082] The serial numbers of the embodiments of the present application are only for description and do not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiments. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
