Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 The table shown is a folding table with extendable side panels, including a tabletop 1. At least one side of the tabletop 1 has a side panel 2. A connecting structure is provided between the side panel 2 and the tabletop 1. The side panel 2 is detachably fixed to the tabletop 1 through the connecting structure. The side panel 2 provides additional storage space for the user. The user can flexibly install or remove the side panel 2 according to their actual needs. The tabletop 1 has mounting notches 11 around its perimeter that correspond to the connecting structure, facilitating the installation of the side panel 2. A table leg assembly 4 is hinged to the bottom of the tabletop 1. The table leg assembly 4 can be folded or unfolded relative to the tabletop 1. When in use, unfolding the table leg assembly 4 provides stable support for the tabletop 1; when stored, the table leg assembly 4 can be easily folded up, saving space. In this space, a support leg 21 is hinged to the lower part of the side panel 2. The support leg 21 can be folded or unfolded relative to the side panel 2. When the side panel 2 is connected to the tabletop 1, the lower end of the support leg 21 is supported on the table leg assembly 4. Preferably, in this embodiment, the lower end of the support leg 21 is provided with a third notch 211. The support leg 21 is supported on the table leg assembly 4 through the third notch 211. The support leg 21 can support the side panel 2 to improve the stability of the side panel 2. The upper surface of the side panel 2 is flush with the upper surface of the tabletop 1 to form a tabletop. The support leg 21, the side panel 2 and the table leg assembly 4 form a triangular support structure, which can effectively prevent the side panel 2 from tilting during use and ensure the overall stability and safety of the folding table.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 7The connection structure includes a hook portion 22 disposed on the side plate 2, and a first screw 12 and a second screw 13 disposed on the tabletop 1. Preferably, in this embodiment, the hook portion 22 has two parts located at both ends of one side of the side plate 2. The first screw 12 and the second screw 13 are correspondingly engaged with the hook portion 22. The first screw 12 and the second screw 13 are fixedly connected to the tabletop 1 to ensure the reliability of the connection. An installation space is formed between the first screw 12 and the second screw 13 for the hook portion 22 to enter and exit, which facilitates the entry and exit of the hook portion 22. The hook portion 22 is limited and engaged with the first screw 12 and the second screw 13.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figures 5-6 The lower end of the tabletop 1 is fixedly connected with mounting parts 14 around its perimeter. The mounting notch 11 exposes the outer wall of the mounting parts 14, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the side panel 2. The first screw 12 and the second screw 13 pass through the outer wall of the mounting parts 14 from the outside to the inside and are fixedly connected to the mounting parts 14. The connection is stable and reliable.

[0028] Preferably, see Figure 7 The first screw 12 is a stepped screw, which includes a first shank, a stepped portion, and a first head. The first shank passes through the outer wall of the mounting member 14 and is fixedly connected to the mounting member 14, ensuring a stable and reliable connection. The stepped portion and the first head are disposed on the outer wall of the mounting member 14 and are engaged with the first notch 23 for limiting the movement of the side plate 2, ensuring that the side plate 2 can be maintained in a predetermined position.

[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The side plate 2 is provided with a first notch 23 and a second notch 24 respectively. The first notch 23 is located between the hook part 22 and the side plate 2, and the second notch 24 is located below the hook part 22. The first notch 23 is limited to the first screw 12, and the second notch 24 is limited to the second screw 13.

[0030] Specifically, when installing the side panel 2 to the tabletop 1, the hook portion 22 enters the installation space at an angle downwards. The second screw 13 then presses against the second notch 24. Using the second screw 13 as a fulcrum, the side panel 2 is rotated upwards so that the first screw 12 enters the first notch 23, thereby restricting the movement of the side panel 2. The first screw 12 and the first notch 23 engage in a limiting fit to restrict the side panel 2's freedom of movement in the left-right and upward directions. At the same time, the second screw 13 presses against the second notch 24, further restricting the side panel 2's freedom of movement in the left-right and downward directions. The cooperation of the first screw 12 and the second screw 13 can restrict the side panel 2's freedom of rotation, ensuring that the side panel 2 is not easily displaced after being connected to the tabletop 1. This ensures that the side panel 2 can be kept in the predetermined position, improving the reliability of the overall structure of the folding table. When disassembling the side panel 2 from the tabletop 1, the side panel 2 is rotated downwards using the second screw 13 as a fulcrum so that the first screw 12 disengages from the first notch 23. Then, the side panel 2 can be removed at an angle upwards. This allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the side panel 2, saving operation time.

[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figures 5-6 The table leg assembly 4 is hinged to the tabletop 1 by a limiting structure 3. The limiting structure 3 includes a first limiting member 31 and a second limiting member 32. The upper end of the first limiting member 31 is hinged to the tabletop 1, the lower end of the first limiting member 31 is hinged to the upper end of the second limiting member 32, and the lower end of the second limiting member 32 is hinged to the table leg assembly 4. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 31 is provided with a bent first limiting block 311, and the second limiting member 32 is provided with a bent second limiting block 321. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first limiting member 31 has inwardly recessed notches 312 on both sides. The notches 312 and the second limiting blocks 321 are mutually limitingly engaged. When the limiting structure 3 is unfolded, the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are mutually limitingly engaged, and the second limiting member 32 is mutually limitingly engaged with the notches 312, thus preventing the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 from opening excessively and affecting use.

[0032] Preferably, in this embodiment, the table leg assembly 4 includes a first table leg 41 and a second table leg 42. A connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected between the first table leg 41 and the second table leg 42. Preferably, there are several connecting rods 43. The support foot 21 is supported on the uppermost connecting rod 43. The lower end of the second limiting member 32 is hinged to the connecting rod 43. By setting the connecting rod 43, it can be ensured that the first table leg 41 and the second table leg 42, which are fixedly connected by the connecting rod 43, can achieve synchronous movement. In addition, the connecting rod 43 can also improve the stability of the table leg assembly 4 structure. The support foot 21 is supported on the connecting rod 43 through the third notch 211.

[0033] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 6The inner wall of the tabletop 1 is fixedly connected with a nut post 15. By setting the nut post 15, the limiting structure 3 is supported to a certain height to prevent the limiting structure 3 from interfering with other parts when the table leg assembly 4 is folded and stored, thus affecting its use. The upper end of the first limiting member 31 is hinged to the nut post 15. There is a gap between the mounting member 14 and the inner wall of the tabletop 1. The first table leg 41 or the second table leg 42 is located in the gap. The inner wall of the tabletop 1 is also fixedly connected with a limiting screw 212. The limiting screw 212 cooperates with the support foot 21 to limit the opening angle of the support foot 21.

[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The tabletop 1 has a first connecting slot 16 around its perimeter, and the side plate 2 has a second connecting slot 25 at the end away from the hook part 22, which facilitates connection with other connecting parts and improves flexibility.
