In the open state, the two legs are spread out in a V-shape; in the folded state, both legs are folded and stored at the bottom of the tabletop. Existing tables, when folded, have a long tabletop, which is inconvenient for carrying and transporting. Therefore, the tabletop is folded, requiring the user to operate the folding and locking of the legs and the tabletop itself, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology and to provide a table that is easy to fold.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: a foldable table, including a tabletop and table legs rotatably connected to the tabletop. The tabletop includes two rotatably connected table panels, and the two table panels are respectively rotatably connected to the two table legs. A first locking mechanism for restricting the rotation of the two table panels is provided at the junction of the two table panels. A guide is fixedly provided in the middle of the table panel along the length of the tabletop. The table legs are connected to the guide by a linkage rod. One end of the linkage rod is slidably connected to the guide, and the other end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to the table legs. During the folding process, as the table legs rotate from vertical to horizontal, the one end of the linkage rod slides along the guide and acts on the first locking mechanism. The first locking mechanism switches from restricting the rotation of the two table panels to releasing the restriction on the rotation of the two table panels.

[0005] When the table legs are folded up, there is a space between the two tabletops to accommodate the table legs. The height of this space is greater than or equal to the height of the two table legs stacked together, and both ends of the table legs are covered by the tabletop.

[0006] Among them, the table legs are set on the same table board and are fixedly connected by a connecting rod.

[0007] The first locking mechanism includes an operating component that is rotatably connected to one of the tabletops. The other tabletop has an opening for inserting a pin. When the pin is inserted into the opening, the two tabletops are locked. When the pin is dislodged from the opening, the two tabletops move freely. The operating component is divided into a first end connected to the pin and a second end acted upon by a linkage rod, with the rotation axis as the boundary. During the table leg retraction process, one end of the linkage rod triggers the second end to dislodge the pin from the opening.

[0008] The guide includes two side walls with a gap between them. A slider is provided in the gap, and the slider corresponds to the second end. The side wall is provided with a linear groove, and one end of the linkage rod passes through the linear groove and is rotatably connected to the slider.

[0009] The tabletop includes a panel and a perimeter surrounding the panel. The perimeter protrudes from the underside of the panel, and the table legs are located inside the perimeter, forming all or part of the space within the perimeter.

[0010] The two tabletops are connected by hinges, which are installed on the edge.

[0011] The table legs are retractable.

[0012] The first locking mechanism includes a pin, and each of the two tabletops has an opening into which the pin can be inserted. When the pin is inserted into both openings at the same time, the two tabletops are locked. During the process of folding the table legs, the pin is disengaged from one of the openings by a linkage rod, and the two tabletops can be rotated and folded away.

[0013] The slider is engaged with the table or guide.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: the utility model is compact after folding, making it suitable for transportation and carrying.
