Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of office desk technology, specifically to a flip-down folding office desk that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] A folding desk is a type of desk that can be easily folded and stored, often used in situations where frequent changes of location are required or where space is limited. Folding desks are highly flexible, allowing for quick setup when needed and swift folding for storage after use, saving space and improving efficiency.

[0003] The existing folding desks fold inwards by folding the legs to fit the desktop, thus saving space.

[0004] However, the current folding desks have the following problems during use: 1. When the existing folding desks are folded and placed, the contact area between the edge of the desk and the ground is small, so as to reduce the space occupied by the desk. However, relying on only one side to fix the desk is not good, and it is easy to slip and fall, causing damage to the desk.

[0005] 2. Existing folding desks do not have storage functions, making it inconvenient to retrieve and place books and other items. Placing them on the desk surface will cause the desk to be crowded and make it inconvenient to carry out office work. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, this application provides a flip-folding desk that is easy to store, in order to solve the technical problems in the related art, such as the inconvenience of stable placement after folding and the lack of storage space for placing items in existing folding desks.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: This application provides a foldable desk that is easy to store, comprising two flat panels connected by a support mechanism. Each of the two flat panels has a symmetrical support leg on its lower front end, away from the support mechanism, and the support legs are hinged to the flat panels. A storage mechanism is provided below both flat panels, and the support mechanism cooperates with the storage mechanism. A fixing mechanism is provided on the side of the two flat panels away from each other for securing the two flat panels after folding.

[0008] The storage mechanism includes a rectangular frame. A rectangular frame is installed on the lower end face of each of the two flat plates. A sliding groove is provided on the two opposite inner walls of the rectangular frame. A T-shaped seat is provided between the two sliding grooves. The horizontal section of the T-shaped seat is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A limiting member is provided between the T-shaped seat and the rectangular frame. A connecting plate is hinged to the vertical section of the T-shaped seat. A load-bearing plate is hinged to the lower end of the connecting plate. A connecting plate is provided on the side of the load-bearing plate away from the connecting plate. The left and right ends of the connecting plate are respectively hinged to the two load-bearing plates. A fixing member is provided between the connecting plate and the support leg.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the support mechanism includes a support plate, which is provided below the flat plate and has an inverted U-shaped structure. A sliding rod is provided on the left and right edges of the upper end face of the support plate, and the axis of the sliding rod is collinear with the edge of the support plate. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the flat plate to slide with the sliding rod, and T-shaped annular grooves are evenly provided within the arc-shaped groove. T-shaped ring blocks that mate with the T-shaped annular grooves are evenly provided on the outer circumference of the sliding rod along its axial direction. Two vertical sections of the support plate slide vertically with the connecting plate, and locking elements are provided on the opposite sides of the two vertical sections of the support plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes rectangular grooves. One of the flat plates has a rectangular groove symmetrically opened on the front and back of its side end away from the support plate. A waist-shaped plate is installed in the rectangular groove. The two waist-shaped plates are hinged to the flat plate at their opposite ends by a torsion spring. A cylinder is rotatably installed on the lower end face of the opposite side of the two waist-shaped plates. A limit groove is opened on the cylinder. The other flat plate has a slot on its side end face away from the support plate, corresponding to the waist-shaped plate. A fixing post that cooperates with the limit groove is installed in the slot.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes a limiting hole. The connecting plate has a limiting hole in the middle of the front and rear sides. Each of the two supporting legs on the same plate has a shaft on its opposite side. A limiting plate is slidably installed on the shaft. The other part of the limiting plate is slidably engaged with the limiting hole through a roller shaft. A compression spring is provided between the limiting plate and the supporting leg, and the compression spring is sleeved on the shaft.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the locking component includes a shaft post, with a shaft post slidably installed on the opposite back surfaces of the two support plates. The shaft post passes through the support plate and is slidably engaged with the support plate. A long plate is installed at the end of the shaft post away from the support plate, and a tension spring is provided between the long plate and the support plate. A slot is provided on the front and rear end faces of the two load-bearing plates on opposite sides, and limiting posts that engage with the slot are provided on the left and right sides of the long plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the limiting component includes a T-shaped rod, with T-shaped rods slidably installed on both the front and rear sides of the rectangular frame, and the vertical section of the T-shaped rod extending into the interior of the rectangular frame. The T-shaped base has an insertion hole that mates with the T-shaped rod, a tension spring is provided between the horizontal section of the T-shaped rod and the rectangular frame, a fixing rod is provided on the horizontal side of the T-shaped rod near the support plate, and a through hole for sliding engagement with the fixing rod is provided on the rectangular frame.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, a rubber strip is symmetrically provided at the top and bottom of the gap between the two plates, and the front and rear ends of the rubber strip are fixed to the corresponding connecting plates respectively.

[0015] The above-described one or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following technical effects:

[0016] 1. The storage mechanism and support legs of this invention are foldable structures. The flat panel is divided into two, which are folded relative to each other. The remaining components are located between the two flat panels to reduce space occupation. The symmetry of the two flat panels increases the contact area with the ground when the desk is placed. The desk can be placed upright on one side, improving the stability of the desk and expanding the placement of the desk, which is not limited to placement against a wall.

[0017] Second, the storage mechanism provided by this invention can be folded and unfolded according to the use of the desk, and is connected to the flat plate through the support mechanism to mutually restrict and improve stability. At the same time, the unfolded storage mechanism can be used to place books and other items needed during the office process, so as to improve the tidiness of the desktop and facilitate the access of the required items.

[0018] Third, the fixing mechanism of this invention, after the flat plate is folded, moves the limiting groove on the cylinder to the position of the fixing column by rotating the two waist-shaped plates. The cylinder is rotated so that the opening of the limiting groove faces the position of the limiting groove, so as to prevent the waist-shaped plates from rotating and detaching from the fixing column, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the two flat plates and making it easier for users to pick up and move the folded desk.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a folding desk that is easy to store includes a flat panel 1; there are two flat panels 1, which are connected by a support mechanism 4. A support leg 2 is symmetrically arranged on the lower front and rear of the side of each flat panel 1 away from the support mechanism 4, and the support leg 2 is hinged to the flat panel 1. A storage mechanism 3 is provided under both flat panels 1, and the support mechanism 4 cooperates with the storage mechanism 3. A fixing mechanism 5 is provided on the side of each flat panel 1 away from each other to fix the two flat panels 1 after folding.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage mechanism 3 includes a rectangular frame 30. A rectangular frame 30 is installed on the lower end face of each of the two flat plates 1. A sliding groove is provided on the two opposite inner walls of the rectangular frame 30. A T-shaped seat 31 is provided between the two sliding grooves. The horizontal section of the T-shaped seat 31 is slidably connected to the sliding groove. A limiting member 36 is provided between the T-shaped seat 31 and the rectangular frame 30. A connecting plate 32 is hinged to the vertical section of the T-shaped seat 31. A load-bearing plate 33 is hinged to the lower end of the connecting plate 32. A connecting plate 34 is provided on the side of the load-bearing plate 33 away from the connecting plate 32. The left and right ends of the connecting plate 34 are respectively hinged to the two load-bearing plates 33. A fixing member 35 is provided between the connecting plate 32 and the support leg 2.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting member 36 includes a T-shaped rod 360. The T-shaped rod 360 is slidably installed on both the front and rear sides of the rectangular frame 30, and the vertical section of the T-shaped rod 360 extends into the interior of the rectangular frame 30. The T-shaped seat 31 is provided with an insertion hole 362 that mates with the T-shaped rod 360. A tension spring 361 is provided between the horizontal section of the T-shaped rod 360 and the rectangular frame 30. A fixing rod 363 is provided on the horizontal side of the T-shaped rod 360 near the support plate 40. The rectangular frame 30 is provided with a through hole 364 that slides and mates with the fixing rod.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the fixing member 35 includes a limiting hole 350. The connecting plate 32 has a limiting hole 350 in the middle of the front and rear sides. Each of the two supporting legs 2 on the same plate 1 has a shaft on its opposite side. A limiting plate 351 is slidably installed on the shaft. The other part of the limiting plate 351 is slidably engaged with the limiting hole 350 through a roller shaft 352. A compression spring 353 is provided between the limiting plate 351 and the supporting leg 2, and the compression spring 353 is sleeved on the shaft.

[0038] In actual operation, the folded desk has a rectangular structure for easy storage and placement. The two flat panels 1 are connected and fixed by a fixing mechanism 5 to prevent the panels from shaking and injuring users during handling. When the desk needs to be unfolded, the fixing mechanism 5 contacts the fixing between the two flat panels 1, moving the two panels away from each other so that the connecting plate 32 is vertical. (In the folded state, the T-shaped rod 360 is pulled out away from the insertion hole 362, and the tension spring 361 is stretched. The fixing rod 363 disengages from the through hole 364 and abuts against the rectangular frame 30 to maintain the T-shaped rod 360 pulled out of the insertion hole 362.) Then, the T-shaped rod 360 is pulled and rotated while maintaining the pulling motion, causing the fixing rod 363 to rotate to the position of the through hole 364. The T-shaped rod 360 is then slowly released. 0. Insert the fixing rod 363 into the through hole 364, and at the same time insert the vertical section of the T-shaped rod 360 into the insertion hole 362 to restrict the movement of the T-shaped seat 31. Then open the plate 1 so that the two plates 1 are joined together on the same horizontal plane. The support mechanism 4 supports the joint of the plate 1 and abuts against the load-bearing plate 33 to level the load-bearing plate 33. Then open the support leg 2 and push the limiting plate 351 towards the support leg 2. Keep pushing the limiting plate 351 and rotate the limiting plate 351 so that the roller 352 rotates to the limiting hole 350. Then slowly release the limiting plate 351 so that the roller 352 is aligned with the limiting hole 350 and inserted to restrict the movement of the connecting plate 32. At the same time, the T-shaped seat 31 is fixed by the limiting member 36 to realize the opening and fixing of the entire storage mechanism 3.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the support mechanism 4 includes a support plate 40. The support plate 40 is provided below the flat plate 1 and has an inverted U-shaped structure. A sliding rod 41 is provided on the left and right edges of the upper end face of the support plate 40, and the axis of the sliding rod 41 is collinear with the edge of the support plate 40. An arc-shaped groove 42 is provided on the flat plate 1 to slide and cooperate with the sliding rod 41. T-shaped ring grooves 43 are evenly provided in the arc-shaped groove 42. T-shaped ring blocks 44 that cooperate with the T-shaped ring grooves 43 are evenly provided on the outer circumference of the sliding rod 41 along its axial direction. The two vertical sections of the support plate 40 slide and cooperate with the connecting plate 34. Locking members 45 are provided on the opposite sides of the two vertical sections of the support plate 40.

[0040] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 45 includes a shaft post 450. A shaft post 450 is slidably installed on the opposite back of the two support plates. The shaft post 450 passes through the support plate 40 and is slidably engaged with the support plate 40. A long plate 451 is installed at the end of the shaft post 450 away from the support plate. A tension spring 452 is provided between the long plate 451 and the support plate 40. A hole or groove 453 is provided on the front and rear end faces of the two load-bearing plates 33 on opposite sides. Limiting posts 454 that cooperate with the hole or groove 453 are provided on the left and right sides of the long plate 451.

[0041] In practice, after the desk is opened, the support plate 40 is slid upwards, aligning the two flat plates 1 horizontally. Then, the long plate 451 is pulled outwards, stretching the tension spring 452. While maintaining the stretch of the long plate 451, it is rotated, causing the limiting post 454 to rotate to the position of the slot 453. Then, the long plate 451 is slowly released. Under the action of the tension spring 452, the limiting post 454 moves towards the slot 453, and the limiting post 454 and the slot... After the slot 453 is inserted, it will restrict the movement of the support plate 40, thereby ensuring the stability of the flat plate 1 and the load-bearing plate 33. When the desk needs to be folded, the long plate 451 needs to be pulled outward to move the limiting post 454 away from the slot 453. Rotate the long plate 451 ninety degrees to make the long plate 451 parallel to the vertical section of the support plate 40. Release the long plate 451, and the long plate 451 will be fixed against the support plate 40 under the action of the tension spring 452 to facilitate the subsequent folding operation.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixing mechanism 5 includes rectangular grooves 50. One of the flat plates 1 has a rectangular groove 50 symmetrically opened on the front and back of the side end away from the support plate 40. The rectangular grooves 50 are provided with waist-shaped plates 51. The ends of the two waist-shaped plates 51 that are far apart from each other are hinged to the flat plate 1 through a torsion spring. A cylinder 52 is rotatably installed on the lower end face of the opposite side of the two waist-shaped plates 51. A limiting groove 53 is opened on the cylinder 52. The other flat plate 1 has a slot 54 on the side end face away from the support plate 40 corresponding to the waist-shaped plate 51. A fixing post 55 that cooperates with the limiting groove 53 is provided in the slot 54.

[0043] In practice, after the desk is folded, the limiting plate 351 is manually rotated toward the slot 54 so that the limiting slot 53 engages with the fixed post 55. Then, the cylinder 52 is rotated so that the opening of the limiting slot 53 faces the rectangular slot 50, thereby restricting the movement of the waist plate 51 and ensuring the limiting connection between the two flat plates 1, which facilitates subsequent handling and movement.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a rubber strip 6 is symmetrically arranged at the top and bottom of the gap between the two flat plates 1, and the front and rear ends of the rubber strip 6 are respectively fixed to the corresponding connecting plate 32.

[0045] During actual operation, the rubber belt 6 covers the gap between the two flat plates 1, thereby preventing the two flat plates 1 from shaking and potentially injuring the user.

[0046] In specific use of this invention, the two flat plates 1 are moved away from each other, and the T-shaped base 31 is fixed after being moved by the limiting member 36. The two flat plates 1 are then rotated so that they are aligned horizontally. The support is then opened and the connecting plate 32 is fixed after being moved by the fixing member 35. The support mechanism 4 supports the joint of the two flat plates 1 and restricts the movement of the load-bearing plate 33 to fix the storage mechanism 3, thereby improving the stability of the desk after it is opened. The foldable function of the storage mechanism 3 and the support mechanism 4 enables the desk to be folded and stored. The fixing mechanism 5 connects and limits the two flat plates 1 after folding to facilitate movement and transportation.
