Each table leg 2 is connected to at least one support crossbar 3, and each support crossbar 3 is connected to a plurality of table legs 2. There is an interaction force between the connected table legs 2 and the support crossbar 3. The support crossbar 3 remains balanced and fixed under the force applied by the table legs 2, and the support crossbar 3 applies a supporting force to the table legs 2 to make the table legs 2 balanced.
[0025] This invention utilizes the interaction force between the supporting crossbar 3 and the table legs 2 to support the table legs 2, thereby avoiding the use of destructive connectors such as nails to fix the table legs. Specifically, each supporting crossbar 3 is connected to multiple table legs 2, and the forces exerted by each table leg 2 on the supporting crossbar 3 are balanced. Furthermore, with the midpoint of the supporting crossbar 3 along its length as the center, the moments exerted by each table leg 2 on the supporting crossbar 3 around the center are balanced, thus keeping the supporting crossbar 3 balanced and fixed. On the other hand, the supporting crossbar 3 also exerts a reaction force on each table leg 2 connected to it, and this reaction force supports the table legs, making them more stable.
[0026] The term "connected" in the instruction manual should be interpreted as mutual contact or interconnection, meaning that the table leg 2 and the support crossbar 3 can be connected together in a manner applicable to the prior art, or they can abut against each other to generate an interaction force.
[0027] This invention does not limit the shape and size of the tabletop 1. The number of table legs 2 and supporting crossbars 3 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the tabletop 1 to provide sufficient support. The structure of the table legs 2 and supporting crossbars 3 can also be configured to exert forces on each other according to actual needs. The table includes at least one supporting crossbar 3. That is, in an embodiment with only one supporting crossbar 3, all table legs 2 rely on this supporting crossbar 3. If there are multiple supporting crossbars 3, each supporting crossbar 3 is connected to multiple table legs, and it is also possible for the same table leg to be connected to multiple supporting crossbars 3. The table legs 2 are preferably inclined relative to the ground and the tabletop, and the supporting crossbars 3 are preferably parallel to the tabletop 1. This invention does not limit the position where the table legs 2 connect to the supporting crossbars 3, and can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the table's center of gravity. The table legs 2 are preferably connected to the supporting crossbars 3 at the upper part.
[0028] Furthermore, this utility model does not limit the way in which the table leg 2 and the supporting crossbar 3 are connected and generate an interaction force, such as by mortise and tenon structure, adhesive, or external force such as fixing sleeve to clamp the two together.
[0029] Preferably, the table legs 2 and the supporting crossbar 3 are connected by a mortise and tenon structure, which can not only play a fixing role, but also prevent nails and other connecting parts from damaging the structure of the table legs 2 and the supporting crossbar 3.

The table legs 2 undergo elastic deformation and exert an elastic restoring force on the supporting crossbar 3 connected to them. The upper end of the table legs 2 is connected to the tabletop 1. By setting the position of the table legs 2 fixed on the tabletop, the table legs 2, under certain elastic deformation, clamp the supporting crossbar 3 between multiple table legs 2, and the force and torque exerted by the table legs 2 on the supporting crossbar 3 are balanced to fix the supporting crossbar 3. Conversely, the supporting crossbar 3 also exerts a reaction force on the table legs 2, which supports the table legs 2 to enhance their stability.
[0031] Preferably, the support crossbar 3 is provided with a groove 31 that mates with the table leg 2, and the table leg 2 abuts against the corresponding groove 31. The groove 31 can limit the position of the table leg 2 abutting against the support crossbar 3, preventing the table leg 2 from moving relative to the support crossbar 3 and causing instability.
[0032] Preferably, the table leg 2 is made of bamboo, which ensures both aesthetics and the material itself has a certain degree of elasticity.
[0033] Preferably, a connecting crossbar 4 is provided between the lower parts of two adjacent table legs 2. The connecting crossbar 4 connects the lower parts of two adjacent table legs 2, serving to strengthen and fix them, and further improving the stability of the table legs 2.

For example, if the table has four table legs 2, two opposite connecting crossbars 4 can be provided, respectively connecting two opposite pairs of adjacent table legs 2. If the table has three table legs 2, three connecting crossbars 4 can be provided, with a connecting crossbar 4 provided between each pair of the three table legs 2.
[0034] Preferably, the table leg 2 includes a Y-shaped main leg 21 and an auxiliary support 22. One end of the main leg 21 supports the tabletop 1, and the other end supports the ground. One end of the auxiliary support 22 supports the tabletop 1, and the other end is connected to the middle of the main leg 21. The main leg 21 and / or the auxiliary support 22 are connected to the support crossbar 3. To improve the supporting force of the table leg 2, this invention preferably sets the table leg 2 into a Y-shaped structure, with both the main leg 21 and the auxiliary support 22 providing support for the tabletop 1, thus increasing the number of support points of the table leg 2 on the tabletop 1. The main leg 21, or the auxiliary support 22, or both the main leg 21 and the auxiliary support 22 can be connected to the support crossbar 3.
[0035] Preferably, the table includes four table legs 2 and a support crossbar 3. The main table legs 21 of the four table legs 2 are all connected to the support crossbar 3 so that the support crossbar 3 is balanced and fixed. The support crossbar 3 is provided with grooves 31 corresponding to the main table legs 21.
[0036] In this preferred embodiment, the four table legs 2 are configured to collectively clamp the supporting crossbar 3. More preferably, the four table legs 2 are made of bamboo, which is capable of elastic deformation and clamps the supporting crossbar 3 by its own elastic restoring force. The supporting crossbar 3 is provided with four grooves 31, each corresponding to one of the four table legs 2.

The positions of the two table legs 2 on the same side of the supporting crossbar 3 are symmetrical with respect to the center of the supporting crossbar 3. Therefore, the torques of the two table legs 2 on the same side are balanced, and the elastic deformation of each table leg is the same, so the force applied to the supporting crossbar 3 is the same, thus the supporting crossbar 3 is under force balance. The supporting crossbar 3 also applies a reaction force to the four table legs 2 to provide support for the table legs and keep the table legs 2 in balance. Preferably, the table leg 2 includes a main table leg part 21 and an auxiliary support part 22. In this embodiment, the main table leg part 21 is connected to the supporting crossbar 3. Preferably, the table also includes two connecting crossbars 4 arranged parallel to and opposite to the short side of the tabletop 1.

The auxiliary support 22 is located on the other side of the support crossbar 3 and is symmetrical with respect to the center of the support crossbar 3. The elastic deformation of each main table leg 21 and auxiliary support 22 is the same, therefore the force applied to the support crossbar 3 is the same, the force on the support crossbar 3 is balanced, and the torques exerted by the two main table legs 21 on the same side on the support crossbar 3 are balanced, as are the torques exerted by the two auxiliary support 22 on the same side on the support crossbar 3, so that the support crossbar 3 can be fixed. The supporting crossbar 3 also applies a reaction force to the main leg portion 21 and auxiliary support portion 22 of the two connected table legs 2 to provide support for the table legs and keep them balanced. Preferably, the table includes two connecting crossbars 4, which are respectively connected between the lower parts of two adjacent table legs 2 and are arranged opposite to each other.
