Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of furniture, in particular to a table with staggered and foldable table legs. Background Art

[0002] As a major innovation in the furniture field, folding tables play an indispensable role in modern life and work due to their space-saving, easy to move and store features. Folding tables are widely used in various scenarios such as homes, offices, and schools, such as office desks, dining tables, desks, computer desks, and writing desks.

[0003] However, as people pursue higher efficiency in space utilization, existing folding table products have exposed some limitations while meeting the basic folding function. Most folding tables on the market cannot be folded flat after folding due to the inherent limitations of the table leg design, resulting in multiple tables being unable to be neatly and compactly stacked. This deficiency results in the ineffective use of precious vertical space. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a folding table with table legs that can be staggered when folded, so that multiple tables can be stacked flatly and stably, so as to at least solve one of the problems raised in the background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0006] A table with foldable legs that can be offset, comprises a table top and two groups of foldable support components installed on both sides of the bottom of the table top, each group of the foldable support components includes a crossbeam frame fixedly installed on the bottom of the table top and two table legs hinged on the crossbeam frame, the two groups of foldable support components are opposite to each other and installed offset left and right so that the four table legs are offset left and right and are at the same horizontal height in the folded state.

[0007] A further improvement is that a first support rod is fixedly connected between the two table legs of the foldable support assembly to achieve synchronous flipping and folding of the two table legs.

[0008] A further improvement is that the crossbeam frame includes two vertical tubes parallel to each other, a horizontal tube is fixedly connected between the two vertical tubes, one end of each vertical tube is hinged to one of the table legs through a rotating seat, one end of the rotating seat is hinged to one end of the vertical tube, and the rotating seat is fixedly connected to one end of the table leg.

[0009] A further improvement is that the foldable support assembly further comprises a folding control component, and the folding control component is used to limit the turning of the rotating seat so as to control the turning and folding of the table legs.

[0010] A further improvement is that the folding control component includes a pull rod, the vertical tube is a hollow tube and is provided with a strip slide groove running through both sides of the vertical tube, the pull rod spans and runs through the two parallel strip slide grooves of the vertical tubes, and a card slot is provided on the other end of the rotating seat, the pull rod slides along the strip slide groove and is stuck in the card slot so that the table leg cannot be flipped and folded, and the pull rod slides in the opposite direction of the strip slide groove and disengages from the card slot so that the table leg can be flipped and folded.

[0011] A further improvement is that the folding control component also includes an elastic member, one end opening of the vertical tube is equipped with a tube mouth seal, the elastic member is installed in the vertical tube and one end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the tube mouth seal, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the rod body of the pull rod.

[0012] A further improvement is that the vertical tubes located on the same side in the two groups of the foldable support components are connected by a bent tube, and the two ends of the bent tube are respectively sleeved with the vertical tube and fixed by bolts.

[0013] A further improvement is that a plurality of screw holes are arranged at intervals at both ends of the bending tube, and strip holes are arranged at corresponding positions of the vertical tube.

[0014] A further improvement is that a triangular connecting plate is fixedly installed at the connection between the vertical tube and the horizontal tube, and the triangular connecting plate is provided with a mounting hole.

[0015] A further improvement is that at least one anti-slip rubber plug is installed on one side of the four table legs, and the multiple anti-slip rubber plugs can be rotated with the table legs to a folded state and be at the same height plane to support the table top of another table.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] The utility model forms a flat stacking surface by staggering the four table legs to the left and right and being at the same horizontal height in the folded state, so that multiple tables of the same design can be placed in a stacked manner after being folded, making full use of the vertical space and solving the problem that traditional folding tables cannot be efficiently stacked due to uneven table legs. In addition, by installing at least one anti-skid rubber plug on one side of each of the four table legs, when the table legs are in the folded state, the four anti-skid rubber plugs are at the same height plane. At this time, the table top of another table can be stacked on the four anti-skid rubber plugs. It can be understood that when multiple tables are stacked, the anti-skid rubber plug contacts the table tops of adjacent tables, increasing the friction of the contact surface, effectively preventing the table tops from sliding due to external forces, ensuring the stability of the stacking, and making logistics operations more convenient.

[0018] When the pull rod slides along the strip-shaped slide and snaps into the slot on the rotating seat, the pull rod and the slot form a mechanical lock, which limits the flipping of the rotating seat, thereby preventing the table legs from flipping and folding, and the table legs are unfolded and in a fixed use state. When folding is required, the pull rod is manually pulled to slide in the opposite direction of the slide and disengage from the slot, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating seat, and the table legs can be flipped and folded freely. By introducing the folding control component, the user can control the flipping and folding process of the table legs as needed, ensuring that the table remains stable when it does not need to be folded, and can be quickly and conveniently adjusted when it needs to be folded, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, so the drawings only show the structures related to the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "mounted on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The terms "and" and "and" used herein include any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Fig. 9 The utility model provides a table with staggered and foldable legs, such as Figure 8 As shown, it includes a table top 1 and two groups of foldable support components installed on both sides of the bottom of the table top 1, each group of the foldable support components includes a crossbeam frame fixedly installed on the bottom of the table top 1 and two table legs 2 hinged on the crossbeam frame, and the two groups of the foldable support components are installed opposite to each other and staggered left and right so that the four table legs 2 are staggered left and right and are at the same horizontal height in the folded state.

[0034] It can be understood that the crossbeam frame serves as a fixed foundation to ensure that the table legs 2 provide stable support when unfolded, and allows the table legs 2 to be flexibly flipped when folded, and is also used to strengthen the firmness of the table top 1.

[0035] When the table needs to be folded, the four table legs 2 are rotated along their respective hinge points. Due to the left-right offset design, the four table legs 2 will form an asymmetrical folded shape during the folding process. The four table legs 2 are left-right offset and at the same horizontal height in the folded state, thereby forming a flat stacking surface, so that multiple tables of the same design can be stacked after folding, making full use of the vertical space and solving the problem that traditional folding tables cannot be efficiently stacked due to uneven table legs 2 after folding. It is especially suitable for occasions with limited space, such as offices, apartments, exhibition halls, etc., for convenient storage and transportation. Fig. 9 Shown is a schematic diagram of the structure after multiple tables are stacked.

[0036] In a feasible solution of this embodiment, a first support rod 3 is fixedly connected between the two table legs 2 of the foldable support assembly to achieve synchronous flipping and folding of the two table legs 2.

[0037] It is understandable that the first support rod 3 physically connects the two table legs 2 of the same group of the foldable support assembly together to form a linkage structure. When the user starts to fold the table, he only needs to operate any one of the table legs 2, and through the connection of the first support rod 3, the other table leg 2 will also be flipped in the same direction synchronously, ensuring that the two table legs 2 are folded or unfolded at the same time and evenly.

[0038] In addition, the first support rod 3 not only plays a linkage role, but also adds an extra mechanical support between the two table legs 2, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the structure of the table legs 2. In particular, when the table is unfolded for use, the first support rod 3 helps to disperse the load borne by the table board 1.

[0039] In a feasible scheme of the present embodiment, the crossbeam frame includes two vertical tubes 4 parallel to each other, a horizontal tube 5 is fixedly connected between the two vertical tubes 4, one end of each of the vertical tubes 4 is hinged to one of the table legs 2 through a rotating seat 6, one end of the rotating seat 6 is hinged to one end of the vertical tube 4, and the rotating seat 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the table leg 2.

[0040] It can be understood that the crossbeam frame adopts an "I"-shaped structure of two parallel vertical tubes 4 and a middle horizontal tube 5, which has good bending and torsion resistance, can effectively disperse the load applied by the table top 1, and ensure the stability of the table when in use.

[0041] Preferably, if Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, the rotating seat 6 can adopt a U-shaped structure, that is, it is composed of two parallel vertical plates 19 and a connecting plate 20. The two vertical plates 19 are respectively provided with a through hole 21, and the vertical tube 4 is also provided with a through hole 21 that penetrates the vertical tube 4. A bolt 22 passes through the two vertical plates 19 and the through hole 21 of the vertical tube 4, thereby realizing the hinged connection between the rotating seat 6 and the vertical tube 4. The rotating seat 6 is used as a transition piece connecting the table leg 2 and the crossbeam frame, which simplifies the assembly process between the two, and facilitates production and later maintenance.

[0042] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the foldable support assembly further includes a folding control component, and the folding control component is used to limit the flipping of the rotating seat 6 so as to control the flipping and folding of the table leg 2.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the folding control component includes a pull rod 7, the vertical tube 4 is a hollow tube and the vertical tube 4 is provided with a strip slide groove 8 running through both sides of the vertical tube 4, the pull rod 7 spans and runs through the two parallel strip slide grooves 8 of the vertical tube 4, and a card slot 9 is provided on the other end of the rotating seat 6, the pull rod 7 slides along the strip slide groove 8 and is stuck in the card slot 9 so that the table leg 2 cannot be flipped and folded, and the pull rod 7 slides in the opposite direction along the strip slide groove 8 and disengages from the card slot 9 so that the table leg 2 can be flipped and folded.

[0044] Its working principle is: when the pull rod 7 slides along the strip chute 8 and is stuck in the slot 9 on the rotating seat 6, the pull rod 7 and the slot 9 form a mechanical lock, which limits the turning of the rotating seat 6, thereby preventing the table leg 2 from turning over and folding, and the table leg 2 is unfolded and in a fixed use state. When folding is required, the pull rod 7 is manually pulled to slide in the opposite direction along the strip chute 8 and disengage from the slot 9, thereby releasing the lock on the rotating seat 6, and the table leg 2 can be turned over and folded freely.

[0045] By introducing the folding control component, the user can control the flipping and folding process of the table legs 2 as needed, ensuring that the table remains stable when it does not need to be folded, and can quickly and conveniently adjust its state when it needs to be folded, thereby improving ease of use.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the folding control component also includes an elastic member 10, and a pipe mouth seal 11 is installed at one end opening of the vertical tube 4. The elastic member 10 is installed in the vertical tube 4 and one end of the elastic member 10 is fixedly connected to the pipe mouth seal 11, and the other end of the elastic member 10 is in contact with the rod body of the pull rod 7.

[0047] It is understandable that the elastic member 10 is preferably a spring. When the user manually pulls the pull rod 7 to unlock the rotating seat 6, allowing the table leg 2 to flip and fold, and then releases the pull rod 7, the elastic force of the elastic member 10 drives the pull rod 7 to automatically rebound along the original path. That is, the introduction of the elastic member 10 enables the pull rod 7 to have an automatic reset function. After adjusting the state of the table leg 2, the user does not need to manually push the pull rod 7 back to its original position, which simplifies the operation steps and improves the convenience of use.

[0048] In addition, in some embodiments, the pull rod 7 can be configured to include a connecting rod and an insertion rod 23, wherein the connecting rod is located between two parallel vertical tubes 4, and then one end of the insertion rod 23 is passed through the strip slide 8 and fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the insertion rod 23 is provided with a rod cap, and the rod body of the insertion rod 23 abuts against the elastic member 10. When the insertion rod 23 is inserted into the slot 9 on the rotating seat 6, a mechanical lock is formed with the slot 9, which limits the flipping of the rotating seat 6, thereby preventing the table leg 2 from flipping and folding. When the connecting rod is manually pulled to drive the insertion rod 23 to disengage from the slot 9, the lock on the rotating seat 6 is released, and the table leg 2 can be flipped and folded freely.

[0049] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the vertical tubes 4 located on the same side in the two groups of the foldable support components are connected by a bent tube 12, and the two ends of the bent tube 12 are respectively sleeved with the vertical tube 4 and fixed by bolts.

[0050] Specifically, a plurality of screw holes 13 are provided at intervals at both ends of the bending tube 12 , and strip holes 14 are provided at corresponding positions of the vertical tube 4 .

[0051] It can be understood that the vertical tubes 4 in the two groups of foldable support components are connected into a whole through the bending tube 12, which enhances the lateral connection strength between the foldable support components and improves the overall stability of the table.

[0052] By arranging a plurality of screw holes 13 at intervals at both ends of the bending tube 12 and arranging strip holes 14 at corresponding positions of the corresponding vertical tubes 4, the distance between the two groups of foldable support components can be adjusted according to actual conditions to adapt to table tops 1 of different sizes. By adjusting the relative positions of the bending tube 12 and the vertical tube 4, the screw holes 13 are aligned with the strip holes 14, and then bolts are passed through the strip holes 14 and the screw holes 13 to firmly connect the bending tube 12 and the vertical tube 4 together.

[0053] As a preferred solution of the utility model, a triangular connecting plate 15 is fixedly installed at the connection between the vertical tube 4 and the horizontal tube 5. The triangular connecting plate 15 is provided with mounting holes 16 for being fixedly connected with the table top 1 with bolts.

[0054] It can be understood that the addition of the triangular connecting plate 15 significantly enhances the connection strength between the vertical tube 4 and the horizontal tube 5, improves the overall stability of the crossbeam frame, and makes the table more sturdy and durable during use.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one anti-slip rubber plug 17 is installed on one side of the four table legs 2. For example, one anti-slip rubber plug 17 is installed on one side of each of the four table legs 2. When the table legs 2 are in a folded state, the four anti-slip rubber plugs 17 are in the same height plane. At this time, the table top 1 of another table can be stacked on the four anti-slip rubber plugs 17. It can be understood that when multiple tables are stacked, the anti-slip rubber plug 17 contacts the table top 1 of the adjacent table, which increases the friction of the contact surface, effectively prevents the table top 1 from sliding due to external force, ensures the stability of the stacking, and greatly improves the convenience of the table logistics storage and circulation.

[0056] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a non-slip foot pad 18 is installed at the bottom of the table leg 2.

[0057] When the table is placed on the ground during use, the anti-skid foot pads 18 are in contact with the ground, which increases the friction of the contact surface, prevents the table from sliding due to external force or slippery ground during use, and ensures the stability of the table.

[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered as the scope of this specification. The above embodiments only express the specific implementation of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
