Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of furniture, and particularly relates to a foldable table convenient for storage. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the urbanization process and the increasing tension of living space, people have put forward higher requirements for the storage and space utilization efficiency of furniture. Among the existing furniture, tables are often used by people. However, idle tables often occupy a fixed and large space, which is not convenient for storage and handling, and to a certain extent, limits the flexibility of their usage scenarios. For example, in the prior art, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN205106795U discloses an LED solid wood table. This prior art includes a tabletop and table legs. By inlaying LED lights in the tabletop, the LED lights can be combined with the wooden table, giving people a different visual enjoyment. However, the above-mentioned LED solid wood table occupies a large area and cannot be folded, so it is not suitable for use in narrow environments.

[0003] In order to save occupied space, people design tables to be foldable. Although the existing foldable tables on the market have made certain improvements in terms of storage and portability, there are still the following technical problems:

[0004] 1) The folding process of many foldable tables is cumbersome and requires multiple steps to complete folding or unfolding, making them not very convenient to use. For example, in the prior art, a foldable table is designed such that the tabletop and table legs can be separated. When storing, the tabletop and table legs need to be disassembled and placed separately, and they need to be reassembled when in use, which is not very convenient.

[0005] 2) Some foldable tables have poor stability in the folded state, need to be stored against the wall, and are prone to tipping over, posing a safety hazard.

[0006] 3) The storage volume of some foldable tables after folding is still relatively large, which is not conducive to the effective utilization of space. For example, in the prior art, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN202077804U discloses a movable plate table. This prior art includes a tripod, a fixed plate, and a movable plate. The tripod is an arched frame formed by two vertically arranged rectangular plates on the left and right and a square bar at the lower part inside the two plates. The fixed plate and the movable plate are square plates of the same size. The tripod is arranged at the lower part, the fixed plate is horizontally arranged inside and above the tripod, and the bottom outer edge is fixedly connected to the upper part of the tripod. The movable plate is arranged outside and above the tripod and is connected to the tripod through a movable bracket arranged on the bottom surface. The movable plate can be horizontally juxtaposed with the fixed plate or can be folded down to be perpendicular to the fixed plate. Although this prior art can reduce the occupied space by folding down the movable plate, the fixed plate is not movable and detachable, resulting in limited space reduction after storage.

[0007] 4) Existing foldable tables often only consider the folding function in their design and lack other additional functions, such as adjusting the tabletop size, etc. When the tabletop is not large enough, some items of users cannot be placed properly, affecting the use effect.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a foldable table that is easy to store to achieve a more convenient, stable and space-efficient foldable table design. Summary of the Invention
