5. The pool table according to claim 4, characterized in that, The top of the sleeve is provided with a mounting plate, which is connected to the sleeve by a connecting rib. The mounting plate is fixedly connected to the table surface, and the mounting plate fixes the sleeve and the linkage rod below the table surface.

6. The pool table according to claim 1, characterized in that, A guide rail assembly is symmetrically arranged below the platform and near the linkage rod. The guide rail assembly includes a guide rail and a slide rod. The first end of the slide rod is disposed in the guide rail and can slide along the guide rail. The second end of the slide rod is hinged and fixed to the first connecting rod located below.

7. The pool table according to claim 6, characterized in that, A horizontal locking assembly is provided on one end of the guide rail near the pull rod, including: The locking plate includes a locking groove that can accommodate the first end of the slide rod. The middle part of the locking plate is hinged to the guide rail via a first hinge axis. The locking plate can rotate about the first hinge axis. When the portion of the slide rod that passes through the guide rail is located in the locking groove, the table surface is in a horizontally locked state. The connecting plate has one end fixedly connected to the movable end of the latch plate away from the locking groove, and the other end fixed to the linkage rod.

8. The pool table according to claim 6, characterized in that, The first leg is located on one side of the platform near the handle, and the second leg is located on the other side of the platform away from the handle; The first leg and the second leg are hinged to the table surface, and the first leg and the second leg can rotate around the table surface from 0 to 90°.

9. The method of using the pool table according to any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Pool table folding storage: Pulling the lever outward causes the linkage rod to move outward in sync, compressing the return spring. The linkage rod then causes one end of the connecting plate to move horizontally outward, thereby causing the movable end of the latch plate to move upward. The latch plate rotates around the first hinge axis, and the first end of the slide rod disengages from the locking groove, releasing the horizontal lock on the table surface. Lift the side of the tabletop near the lever upwards. The first end of the slider slides along the guide groove. When the horizontal locking component moves away from the first end of the slider, release the lever. Continue lifting the tabletop. When the vertical locking structure approaches the limit hook, pull the lever again. When the vertical locking structure moves above the limit hook, release the lever. The limit hook is located inside the vertical locking structure, and the tabletop is vertically locked, completing the folding and storage of the pool table. Pool table unfolded for use: Pull the lever upwards, the vertical locking structure moves upwards and disengages from the limit hook, releasing the vertical lock on the tabletop, and then release the lever; Press down on the side of the platform closest to the handle, the first end of the slide rod slides in the opposite direction along the guide groove, and the locking plate rotates in the opposite direction around the first hinge axis. When the first end of the slide rod slides and contacts the locking plate and enters the locking groove, the platform is horizontally locked, and the platform is unfolded for use.
