However, existing tailgate tray table structures often suffer from complex operation, requiring multiple steps to fold or unfold, which to some extent limits their convenience and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel tailgate small table structure, which simplifies the opening and closing process of the tailgate small table, making its operation faster and more convenient, and also greatly improving the user experience.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel tailgate tray table structure includes,

[0007] Fixing plate;

[0008] The tabletop body is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed plate, and limit grooves are respectively provided on both sides of the tabletop body;

[0009] A locking component is provided on the fixed plate and embedded in the limiting groove to ensure that the table body is in a stable closed or fully open state relative to the fixed plate;

[0010] The fixed plate is provided with a first magnet inside, and the table body is provided with a second magnet inside. The first magnet and the second magnet are configured with their magnetic poles facing each other, thereby generating a mutual repulsive force. This allows the table body to rotate relative to the fixed plate immediately after the locking component is released from the limiting groove, thereby quickly forming an opening gap.

[0011] According to some embodiments, the locking component includes:

[0012] Mounting frame;

[0013] The push plate is slidably embedded in the mounting frame;

[0014] The limiting block slides vertically on both sides of the mounting frame, and the limiting block is in contact with the push plate;

[0015] A first reset spring is disposed between the push plate and the inner sidewall of the mounting frame;

[0016] A second reset spring is disposed between the limiting block and the mounting frame;

[0017] One end of the limiting block is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0018] According to some embodiments, guide rods are provided on both sides of the push plate, one end of the guide rod passes through the mounting frame and extends to the outside of the mounting frame, and the first reset spring is sleeved on the guide rod.

[0019] According to some embodiments, a push-button switch is provided on the side of the push plate opposite to the guide rod.

[0020] According to some embodiments, a fixing block is provided on both sides of the limiting block, a groove is provided on both sides of the push plate, and a triangular push block is provided on both sides of the groove, the triangular push block being in contact with the fixing block.

[0021] According to some embodiments, the limiting block is provided with limiting strips on both sides, the top of the limiting strip passes through the mounting frame and extends to the upper part of the mounting frame where a buckle is provided, and the lower part of the buckle contacts the upper part of the mounting frame.

[0022] According to some embodiments, a limit post is provided between the two limit bars, and the second reset spring is sleeved on the limit post.

[0023] According to some embodiments, guide rails are vertically arranged on both sides of the mounting frame, and guide rail grooves are opened on the limiting block, with the guide rails slidably embedded in the guide rail grooves.

[0024] According to some embodiments, a built-in damping hinge is provided between the fixed plate and the end of the tabletop body that is rotatably connected, and the built-in damping hinge has an L-shaped structure.

[0025] According to some embodiments, a folding assembly is provided between the fixing plate and the tabletop body, the folding assembly comprising:

[0026] The first link is hinged to the fixed plate;

[0027] The second link is hinged to the tabletop body;

[0028] The first link is hinged to the second link;

[0029] The fixed plate is provided with a first receiving groove, and the first connecting rod can be rotatably received into the first receiving groove;

[0030] The tabletop body is provided with a second receiving groove, and the second connecting rod can be rotatably received into the second receiving groove.

[0031] Beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. By setting a locking component on the fixed plate and opening a limiting groove on the table body, and embedding the locking component into the limiting groove, the cooperation between the locking component and the limiting groove ensures that the table body remains stable when closed, preventing the table body from being easily opened, and also ensuring the connection stability between the table body and the fixed plate.

[0033] 2. By combining the locking component with a magnet, users no longer need to perform multiple steps to open or close the table. Simply releasing the locking component allows the table to automatically unfold under magnetic force, greatly simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, the first and second magnets have opposite poles, ensuring that the repulsive force between them guarantees a quick opening after the locking component is released from the limiting slot. This reduces safety hazards such as finger pinching caused by misoperation. This automated opening and closing mechanism not only improves efficiency but also provides users with a smoother operating experience. Especially in outdoor environments, the quick deployment and folding of the table can meet the needs of temporary dining, work, or rest, greatly increasing the flexibility and versatility of vehicle use.

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0051] Combination Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a novel tailgate table structure includes a fixing plate 1, a table body 2, a locking assembly 3, a first magnet 4, and a second magnet 5.

[0052] The tabletop body 2 is rotatably mounted on one side of the fixed plate 1, and limit grooves 21 are respectively opened on both sides of the tabletop body 2; the locking component 3 is mounted on the fixed plate 1 and embedded in the limit groove 21 to ensure that the tabletop body 2 is in a stable closed or fully open state relative to the fixed plate 1; a first magnet 4 is provided inside the fixed plate 1, and a second magnet 5 is provided inside the tabletop body 2. The first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 are configured with the same magnetic poles facing each other, thereby generating a mutual repulsive force, so that after the locking component 3 is released from the limit groove 21, the tabletop body 2 can immediately rotate relative to the fixed plate 1, thereby quickly forming an open gap.

[0053] The design incorporates a locking component on the fixed plate and a limiting groove on the tabletop, with the locking component embedded within the groove. This design ensures the tabletop remains stable when closed, preventing easy opening and maintaining a stable connection between the tabletop and the fixed plate. The combination of the locking component and a magnet eliminates the need for multiple steps to open or close the tabletop. Simply releasing the locking component allows the tabletop to automatically unfold under magnetic force, greatly simplifying the operation. Furthermore, the repulsive force between the first and second magnets, with their like poles facing each other, ensures that the tabletop quickly opens after the locking component is released from the limiting groove, reducing the risk of finger injuries due to misoperation. This automated opening and closing mechanism not only improves efficiency but also provides a smoother user experience. Especially in outdoor environments, the quick deployment and folding of the tabletop can meet the needs of temporary dining, work, or rest, significantly increasing the flexibility and versatility of the vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, the locking assembly 3 includes: a mounting frame 31, a push plate 32, a limiting block 33, a first return spring 34, and a second return spring 35. The push plate 32 is slidably embedded within the mounting frame 31; the limiting block 33 slides vertically on both sides of the mounting frame 31 and is in contact with the push plate 32; the first return spring 34 is located between the push plate 32 and the inner wall of the mounting frame 31; the second return spring 35 is located between the limiting block 33 and the mounting frame 31; one end of the limiting block 33 is embedded in a limiting groove 21. Guide rods 321 are provided on both sides of the push plate 32. One end of the guide rod 321 passes through the mounting frame 31 and extends to the outside of the mounting frame 31, and the first return spring 34 is sleeved on the guide rod 321. A push-button switch 322 is provided on the side of the push plate 32 opposite to the guide rod 321. Fixed blocks 331 are respectively provided on both sides of the limiting block 33, and grooves 323 are respectively provided on both sides of the push plate 32. Triangular push blocks 324 are respectively provided on both sides of the grooves 323, and the triangular push blocks 324 are in contact with the fixed blocks 331. Limiting strips 332 are provided on both sides of the limiting block 33. The top of the limiting strips 332 passes through the mounting frame 31 and extends to the upper part of the mounting frame 31, where a buckle 333 is provided. The lower part of the buckle 333 is in contact with the upper part of the mounting frame 31. A limiting post 334 is provided between the two limiting strips 332, and a second return spring 35 is sleeved on the limiting post 334. Guide rails 311 are vertically provided on both sides of the mounting frame 31, and guide rail grooves 335 are provided on the limiting block 33. The guide rails 311 are slidably embedded in the guide rail grooves 335.

[0055] When the tabletop body 2 is closed, the limiting block 33 in the locking assembly 3 is embedded in the limiting groove 21 on both sides of the tabletop body 2, preventing the tabletop body 2 from opening arbitrarily. When the user wants to open the tabletop body 2, the user only needs to apply pressure to the button switch 322, pushing the push plate 32 to slide into the mounting frame 31. Under the guidance of the guide rod 321, the push plate 32 slides along the mounting frame 31, and the first return spring 34 is further compressed. As the push plate 32 moves, the triangular push block 324 on it begins to contact and push the fixing blocks 331 on both sides of the limiting block 33. After the fixing block 331 is subjected to pressure from the triangular push block 324, it drives the limiting block 33 to slide upward along the guide rail 311, and the second return spring 35 is compressed accordingly. The buckle 333 on the upper part of the limiting block 33 contacts the top of the mounting frame 31, so that the limiting block 33 can be detachably installed on the mounting frame 31 under the action of the buckle 333. At the same time, it ensures the connection stability between the limiting block 33 and the mounting frame 31, and prevents the limiting block 33 from easily falling off the mounting frame 31. When the limiting block 33 is completely separated from the limiting groove 21, the table body 2 loses its mechanical restriction and can rotate freely. The repulsive force generated between the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 causes the table body 2 to quickly move away from the fixed plate 1, forming an open gap. At this time, the user can then turn the table body 2 relative to the fixed plate 1 until the table body 2 is fully unfolded, providing the user with a stable working or dining surface.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 As shown, a built-in damping hinge 6 is provided between the fixed plate 1 and the table body 2 at one end of the rotatable connection. The built-in damping hinge 6 has an L-shaped structure.

[0057] The built-in damping hinge 6 incorporates a damping mechanism that controls the opening and closing speed of the tabletop body 2, preventing it from opening or closing too quickly and thus avoiding damage or noise caused by impact. Due to the resistance provided by the built-in damping hinge 6, the tabletop body 2 can stop and maintain its position at any angle, which is very useful for users to adjust the tabletop to a suitable working or dining height. The L-shaped structure allows the tabletop body 2 to maintain a natural angle with the fixed plate 1 after opening, rather than being tightly pressed together. This not only increases the safety and convenience of operation but also provides extra space under the tabletop for users to place items or perform other activities, while also preventing direct friction between the fixed plate 1 and the tabletop body 2, protecting the surface from scratches.

[0058] Continue to combine Figure 1As shown, a folding assembly 7 is provided between the fixed plate 1 and the tabletop body 2. The folding assembly 7 includes a first connecting rod 71 and a second connecting rod 72. The first connecting rod 71 is hinged to the fixed plate 1; the second connecting rod 72 is hinged to the tabletop body 2; the first connecting rod 71 and the second connecting rod 72 are hinged together; a first receiving groove 11 is provided on the fixed plate 1, and the first connecting rod 71 is rotatably received into the first receiving groove 11; a second receiving groove 22 is provided on the tabletop body 2, and the second connecting rod 72 is rotatably received into the second receiving groove 22.

[0059] In the initial state (table closed), the first link 71 and the second link 72 are respectively housed in the first receiving groove 11 and the second receiving groove 22. At this time, the table body 2 is in a folded state and is tightly attached to the fixed plate 1. When the user unfolds the table, the user applies external force to pull the table body 2 out of the fixed plate 1. As the table body 2 moves, the second link 72 begins to rotate out of the second receiving groove 22 and forms a stable support angle with the first link 71. The first link 71 also rotates out of the first receiving groove 11 and hinges with the second link 72 to jointly support the table body 2. When the table body 2 is fully unfolded to the predetermined angle, the hinge point between the first link 71 and the second link 72 will automatically lock to ensure that the table body 2 will not be accidentally folded back during use.

[0060] Combination Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the first magnet 4 is disposed on both sides of the fixed plate 1, and the second magnet 5 is disposed on both sides of the tabletop body 2. This arrangement ensures that the repulsive force between the two magnets remains consistent regardless of how the tabletop body rotates, allowing the tabletop to open smoothly from either side and maintaining structural symmetry and aesthetics. Furthermore, this arrangement allows for a wider range of action of the magnets, enhancing the repulsive effect and further ensuring the smoothness and speed of the tabletop opening.

[0061] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0062] Opening process:

[0063] When the user presses button switch 322, pressure is applied, causing push plate 32 to slide into mounting frame 31. Push plate 32 slides along guide rod 321, compressing first return spring 34. Triangular push block 324 on push plate 32 contacts and pushes fixing blocks 331 on both sides of limiting block 33. After being pushed by triangular push block 324, fixing block 331 drives limiting block 33 to slide upward along guide rail 311, simultaneously compressing second return spring 35. Buckle 333 on the upper part of limiting block 33 contacts top of mounting frame 31, ensuring that limiting block 33 will not easily fall off. When limiting block 33 is completely disengaged from limiting groove 21, tabletop body 2 loses mechanical restraint, and the repulsive force generated between first magnet 4 and second magnet 5 promotes... The tabletop body 2 is quickly moved away from the fixed plate 1 to create an opening gap. The user moves the tabletop body 2 to rotate it relative to the fixed plate 1. The built-in damping hinge 6 controls the unfolding speed of the tabletop body 2 to prevent excessive unfolding from causing impact or noise, and allows the tabletop to stop at any angle. As the tabletop body 2 moves, the second link 72 begins to rotate out of the second receiving groove 22 and forms a support angle with the first link 71. The first link 71 also rotates out of the first receiving groove 11, together supporting the tabletop body 2. When the tabletop body 2 is fully unfolded to the predetermined angle, the hinge point between the first link 71 and the second link 72 will automatically lock to ensure that the tabletop body 2 is stable and does not fold during use.

[0064] Shutdown process:

[0065] The user unlocks the first link 71 and the second link 72, allowing them to rotate freely. The user then slowly pushes the tabletop body 2 back to a position flush against the fixed plate 1. The built-in damping hinge 6 helps control the closing speed of the tabletop body 2, preventing impact or noise caused by rapid closing. As the tabletop body 2 approaches the fixed plate 1, the second link 72 slowly retracts into the second receiving groove 22 on the tabletop body 2, and the first link 71 is also guided back into the first receiving groove 11 on the fixed plate 1, connecting with the second link 72. The lever 72 together completes the closing action. As the table body 2 approaches, it will give the table body 2 an upward push, causing its limiting block 33 to slide upward along the guide rail 311. At the same time, it compresses the second return spring 35 until the limiting block 33 is fully inserted into the limiting groove 21. Then, the second return spring 35 immediately returns to its original state and pushes the limiting block 33 to slide downward along the guide rail 311 until the limiting block 33 is fully embedded in the limiting groove 21, thus completing the closed state of the table body 2 and the fixing plate 1.

[0066] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
