Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a foldable table tennis table. In particular, the present invention relates to a foldable table tennis table. When unfolding, two table tops are placed horizontally (in use state). When folding, the two table tops are brought together vertically (folded state). ... Background Art

[0002] Table tennis is a sport enjoyed by people of all ages and enjoys a broad mass following in my country. While playing in a ping-pong hall or outdoor table tennis table is acceptable in spring and summer, it becomes inconvenient in winter and during bad weather. Having a foldable, liftable table tennis table at home, suitable for both adults and children, and taking up minimal floor space when folded, is a good option. To this end, in 2013, I invented a "foldable and liftable table tennis table with a locking and lifting mechanism, patent number: 201320135714.4." However, the table tennis table has a double row of supporting rods, numerous rods, a complex locking mechanism, and damping rods and springs on the upper parts of the four legs. This creates a large gap between the two tabletops when folded, resulting in high manufacturing costs and a potential market challenge.

[0003] The present invention is proposed in view of the existing situation in the above paragraph. After the improvement, the supporting rod is single. On the original basis, the supporting rods are reduced, the locking device is realized by a rotating rod locking handle and a rotating locking handle hinge, the damping rod and the damping spring on the upper part of the four legs are cancelled, and are replaced by a table top connecting damping hinge. On the basis of ensuring the original functions, various settings are simplified. After folding, the distance between the two table tops is smaller, which further improves the folding rate and can be placed in the corner of the home. Due to the reduction of supporting rods, the simplification of the damping rod, the damping spring and the locking device, the manufacturing cost is reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to achieve the above objectives, the following problems need to be solved:

[0005] 1. After the support rods are reduced, the table legs must still be stable. The table top can be unfolded to support the table top stably, and the table top can be folded to rotate to a vertical position.

[0006] 2. The desktop should be able to be locked when unfolded and should not be deformed by collision during movement.

[0007] 3. When the table top is folded and unfolded, the stability of the table top and legs must be ensured to prevent it from tipping over.

[0008] 4. Since the table top is heavy and the legs are supported in the middle of the table top, when the table top is folded or unfolded, if there is not much resistance, the table top will produce a rotational inertia impact force. For safety reasons, the table top should be folded or unfolded slowly.

[0009] 5. Under the condition that the length of the table legs remains unchanged, the table top can be raised and lowered, and the table top can be stabilized at different heights.

[0010] The solution to the above problem is:

[0011] 1. If Figure 4 As shown, two table legs (3, 3') are installed in the middle of each table top. The legs with ' and without ' are symmetrical. The legs with ' will not be described later. When the table top is unfolded and locked, the table top (1), the legs (3), and the table top lifting control rod (14) form a stable triangle. When the table top is folded, the table top (1), the legs (3), and the table top lifting control rod (14) form a deformable triangle. This triangle will not fall outward under the action of the table leg balance spring (15), thereby realizing that the table top can be unfolded and folded. Figure 1 、 33 , as shown in Figure 34.

[0012] 2. When the table tennis table is unfolded, in order to make it stable, a rotating rod lock handle (17) is added below the table top plate, and a rotating lock hinge (24) is used to connect them. The center of the hinge rotation axis is set on the line connecting the center of the rotation axis of the table top connection damping hinge (2). Since the hinge can only rotate in one direction, the rotating lock hinge (24) rotates to a horizontal position, and its rotation direction is consistent with the table top connection damping hinge (2). The table top can be folded. Figure 3 As shown, when the table is rotated to be vertical to the damping hinge (2) connected to the table, the table is locked, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0013] 3. In order to prevent the table legs (3) from falling outward during the process of folding and unfolding the table top, a table leg balancing spring (15) and a balancing spring hinge seat (23) are added. Under the action of the table leg balancing spring (15), the two table legs always have a torque that is relatively close to each other and will not fall outward. At the same time, in order to prevent the table legs (3) from falling inward, a raised end is provided at the hinged rotation point of the table top moving wheel (16). When the table legs (3) are rotated to be perpendicular to the table top moving wheel (16), the raised end abuts against the moving wheel frame, preventing the table legs from falling inward, thereby making the table legs (3) always perpendicular to the ground. Figure 23 shown.

[0014] 4. In order to prevent the unsafe factors of the inertial impact force of the desktop rotation, the desktop connection hinge uses a desktop connection damping hinge (2). Under the action of the desktop connection damping hinge (2), the table tennis table (1) will be slowly folded or unfolded, such as Figure 1 、 33 shown

[0015] 5. If Figure 4 、 5As shown, in the triangle formed by the table tennis table (1), the table legs (3), and the table top lifting control rod (14), the table legs (3) change from vertically supporting the ground to tilting supporting the ground. In this process, the table top is lowered or raised by moving the table legs (3) up and down at the intersection of the table top lifting control rod (14). When the table top is lowered to the required height, the extended end of the table top lifting control rod (14) is held and pushed horizontally, so that the large diameter shaft of the table top lifting moving shaft (8) enters the hole of the table top lifting track (4) and is stuck. In order to prevent the table top lifting control rod (14) from being lowered by the user without human control, the table top lifting control rod (14) is lifted and lowered. The desktop lifting rail (4) is manually controlled so that the desktop lifting control rod (14) moves to the left or right side. The limiting steel ball (11) is provided with a steel ball telescopic spring (12) and a steel ball limiting snap ring (13). The steel ball limiting snap ring (13) can only move up and down with the control rod and cannot move left and right. Under manual control, no matter whether the desktop lifting control rod (14) moves to the left or right side of the desktop lifting track (4), the limiting steel ball (11) will enter the circular hole of the steel ball limiting snap ring (13) under the action of the steel ball telescopic spring (12), so that the desktop lifting moving shaft (8) cannot be easily displaced, thereby achieving the purpose of stabilizing the desktop at different heights.
