Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding table technology, and in particular to a side panel mounting structure for a folding table. Background Technology
[0002] Folding tables are particularly suitable for outdoor use due to their portability and ease of use, such as camping, picnics, or other outdoor activities. Folding tables are equipped with side panels on both sides, providing additional storage space. However, existing side panel installation structures are often complex, making them inconvenient for users to assemble and disassemble. Users may need to spend considerable time and effort installing and removing the side panels, and in some cases, tools are required. Furthermore, existing side panels have poor stability when connected to the folding table, making them prone to displacement. This not only affects the user experience but also poses potential safety hazards. For example, during use, the side panels may tilt or detach, causing items on the table to slip or be damaged, or even injuring the user. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

The structure is simple and reasonable, and easy to operate. The simple structure of the side panel mounting structure makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the side panels, saving time. Moreover, the side panels are not prone to displacement after being connected, thus ensuring that the side panels can be kept in the predetermined position.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] The present invention discloses a side panel mounting structure for a folding table, comprising a side panel and a folding table body. Hook portions extend outward from both sides of the first end of the side panel. A first screw and a second screw, corresponding to the hook portions, are fixedly connected to the folding table body. An installation space for the hook portions to enter and exit is formed between the first screw and the second screw. A first notch, which limits the movement of the first screw, is provided between the hook portion and the side panel. A second notch, which limits the movement of the second screw, is provided below the hook portion of the side panel. A support frame is hinged to the lower part of the side panel. A third notch is provided on the support frame. A table leg is hinged to the lower part of the folding table body. The support frame is supported on the table leg through the third notch. After the hook portion enters the installation space, the second screw presses against the second notch. Then, the side panel is rotated with the second screw as a fulcrum, causing the first screw to enter the first notch, thereby restricting the movement of the side panel.
[0006] Furthermore, the folding table body is provided with mounting notches around its perimeter for attaching hooks.
[0007] Furthermore, mounting components are fixedly connected to the lower end of the folding table body around its perimeter. The mounting notch exposes the outer wall of the mounting component, and the first screw and the second screw pass through the outer wall of the mounting component from the outside to the inside and are fixedly connected to the mounting component.
[0008] Furthermore, the first screw is a stepped screw, which includes a first shank, a step, and a first head. The first shank passes through the outer wall of the mounting component and is fixedly connected to the mounting component. The step and the first head are disposed on the outer wall of the mounting component and are engaged with the first notch.
[0009] Furthermore, the second screw is an internal hexagon screw, which includes a second shank and a second head. The second shank passes through the outer wall of the mounting component and is fixedly connected to the mounting component. The second head is disposed on the outer wall of the mounting component and is engaged with the second notch for limiting.
[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the support frame is provided with the third notch, the upper end of the support frame is provided with a first bending part that bends inward, a spring is connected to the first bending part, and the side wall of the side plate is provided with a connecting hole that corresponds to and cooperates with the spring, and the spring is connected to the connecting hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the first bent portion is provided with a "T"-shaped connecting portion that corresponds to and cooperates with the spring.
[0012] Furthermore, a limiting screw is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the side plate, and the limiting screw passes through the outer side wall from the outside to the inside to engage with the support frame for limiting.
[0013] Furthermore, a first washer is provided between the inner wall of the side plate and the support frame, and a connecting screw is provided inside the first washer. The connecting screw passes through the inner wall of the side plate from the outside to the inside, and an anti-loosening nut is connected to one end of the connecting screw that passes through the inner wall of the side plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a second washer is provided between the anti-loosening nut and the support frame.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the side panel installation structure of this utility model for a folding table, when the side panel needs to be installed with the folding table body, the hook portion enters the installation space diagonally downwards, the second screw presses against the second notch, and then the side panel is rotated upwards using the second screw as a fulcrum so that the first screw enters the first notch, thereby restricting the movement of the side panel. The first screw and the first notch engage in a limiting fit to restrict the side panel's freedom of movement in the left-right and upward directions. At the same time, the second screw presses against the second notch, further restricting the side panel's freedom of movement in the left-right and downward directions. The cooperation of the first and second screws can restrict the side panel's freedom of rotation, ensuring that the side panel is not prone to displacement after being connected to the folding table body. When the side panel needs to be disassembled from the folding table body, the side panel is rotated downwards using the second screw as a fulcrum so that the first screw disengages from the first notch, and then the side panel can be removed diagonally upwards.
[0016] The side panel installation structure of the folding table described in this utility model is simple in structure, allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the side panel, saving operation time. Furthermore, the connection between the side panel and the folding table body is highly stable and not prone to displacement, thus ensuring that the side panel can be kept in the predetermined position and will not move or fall off at will, thereby improving the overall reliability of the folding table structure.
