Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of exhibition display equipment, in particular to a folding reception desk that is easy to assemble and use. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of folding tables or portable reception tables on the market, but they generally face one or more of the following pain points:

[0003] 1. Structural complexity and assembly difficulty: To achieve a compact folded volume, some folding stands employ complex linkages or multi-component structures. This often results in cumbersome assembly steps, requiring specialized tools and even the collaboration of multiple people, consuming both time and labor. For example, while some modular exhibition stands offer diverse functions, their assembly may involve the alignment and fastening of multiple individual components, requiring considerable operator proficiency.

[0004] 2. Insufficient stability and load-bearing capacity: In pursuit of ultimate lightness, some products compromise structural strength and stability. For example, the common simple X-shaped folding leg structure, while convenient to fold, may lack lateral stability when used on larger devices or when carrying heavier items, leading to swaying and impacting user experience and safety.

[0005] 3. The trade-off between folded size and portability is poor: Some solid reception desks still occupy a large space when folded, making them difficult to carry by one person or transport in the trunk of a standard car. Conversely, some very compact folded products may lack functionality or surface size when unfolded.

[0006] 4. Poor operating experience: Some products may pose a risk of pinching hands during the folding or unfolding process, or the locking mechanism may not be intuitive and reliable, causing inconvenience to users.

[0007] Therefore, the industry urgently needs a better way to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0046] 1. Structural complexity and assembly difficulty: To achieve a compact folded volume, some folding stands employ complex linkages or multi-component structures.

[0048] 3. The trade-off between folded size and portability is poor: Some solid reception desks still occupy a large space when folded, making them difficult to carry by one person or transport in the trunk of a standard car.

[0049] 4. Poor operating experience: Some products may pose a risk of pinching hands during the folding or unfolding process, or the locking mechanism may not be intuitive and reliable, causing inconvenience to users.

[0050] Therefore, the industry urgently needs a better way to solve the above problems.

[0051] In view of this, the present invention proposes a folding reception desk that is easy to assemble and use. While ensuring structural stability and functionality, it achieves ultimate assembly convenience and portability, providing a folding reception desk solution with a better user experience. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0052] Example

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention discloses a folding reception desk that is easy to assemble and use, comprising the following:

[0054] Table unit 1, support frame unit 2, quick locking and releasing mechanism 3;

[0055] The supporting frame unit 2 is connected to or matched with the table unit 1 to support the table unit 1;

[0056] The quick locking and releasing mechanism 3 quickly locks or releases the support frame unit 2 in the unfolded state

[0057] Both the tabletop unit 1 and the supporting frame unit 2 are foldable;

[0058] The tabletop unit 1 and the supporting frame unit 2 cooperate to switch between a folded state and an unfolded use state.

[0059] In a feasible embodiment, the tabletop unit 1 includes at least two tabletop panels, which are connected by a first connecting mechanism 4 . The first connecting mechanism 4 allows the tabletop panels to be folded relative to each other.

[0060] In a feasible embodiment, the first connecting mechanism 4 is a hinge with a self-locking function.

[0061] In one feasible embodiment, the supporting frame unit 2 includes at least two groups of foldable supporting leg assemblies, and each group of supporting leg assemblies includes at least one main supporting leg.

[0062] Specifically, each set of support leg assemblies utilizes a multi-link structure, consisting of multiple rods interconnected by pivots (rotating shafts). These rods form a stable geometric support structure when unfolded, and can be collapsed into a flat or bundled shape when folded, significantly reducing the space occupied. A central synchronization mechanism or transverse connecting rod is also internally located to ensure the synchronized movement of the support leg assemblies on both sides during folding and unfolding, and to enhance the lateral stability of the overall structure. The upper end of the support mechanism is connected to the lower surface of the table module via a hinge or other movable connection.

[0063] In a feasible embodiment, a second connection mechanism 5 is provided between the tabletop unit 1 and the supporting frame unit 2 , and the second connection mechanism 5 is a sliding structure.

[0064] In one possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the top table unit 1 is provided with a third connection mechanism 6 , and the top table unit 1 is disassembled by rotating the third connection mechanism 6 .

[0065] In one possible implementation, Figure 4 As shown, the middle table unit 1 is provided with a fourth connecting mechanism 7 , which is a quick plug-in or snap-on structure. The middle table unit 1 is folded via the fourth connecting mechanism 7 .

[0066] In one possible implementation, a locking device is provided at the key joints or where the support legs connect to the table. These devices may include spring clips, manual lock pins, over-dead-point self-locking designs of the linkage mechanism, or other types of mechanical locks. Their function is to lock the movable parts after the reception desk is fully unfolded.

[0067] Fixed in the working position to prevent accidental folding, ensuring the stability and safety of the tabletop.

[0068] Without departing from the core concept of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various modifications to the above embodiments. For example, the tabletop of the tabletop module may be designed to fold in half or multiple times to further reduce the length or width after folding; the specific form of the locking assembly may be diverse, such as using a magnetic lock, a knob lock, or a more complex automatic mechanical lock; the number of rods, connection method, and geometric configuration of the support leg assembly may also be varied to accommodate different load-bearing requirements or appearance designs. All such modifications should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0069] The advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0070] 1. Novel structure and convenient operation: The unique folding linkage system and integrated locking mechanism make the unfolding and folding process of the reception desk fast, smooth and labor-saving. In most cases, it can be operated by one person without the help of any external tools.

[0071] 2. Stable and durable, with strong bearing capacity: The stable supporting structure formed after unfolding, combined with a reliable locking device, ensures the stability of the reception desk during use and can withstand normal working loads. It is assumed that the main load-bearing components are made of durable materials; ensuring its service life.

[0072] 3. Folds tightly and is easy to carry: After folding, it is small in size and has a regular shape, which is easy to transport and store, greatly improving the portability and scene adaptability of the device.

[0073] 4. Wide applicability, economical and efficient: It can be widely used in exhibitions, product promotions, temporary offices, outdoor activities, market stalls and other occasions, improving the space utilization and work efficiency of the equipment, and reducing the manpower and time costs caused by transportation and installation.
