The second clamping piece 21a is relatively fixed with the supporting plate. Specifically, the installation assembly further includes a base which is fixed at the lower end of the supporting plate, and the second clamping piece 21a is fixedly connected with the base. The base is provided with a sliding groove which extends along the width direction of the matching space 22. The first clamping piece 21 is slidingly connected in the sliding groove, so as to adjust the width of the matching space 22 between the first clamping piece 21 and the second clamping piece 21a in response to the external driving force.

[0041] Further, the tray assembly is installed on the office chair, the chair body 6 of the office chair comprises a seat 62 and a backrest 63, both sides of the chair body 6 are provided with armrests 61, the lower ends of the armrests 61 are connected with armrest supporting arms 61a, the armrest supporting arms 61a can be connected to the lower end of the seat 2 or the backrest 63; in the embodiment, one of the armrests 61 on the chair body 6 is located in the adjusted cooperation space 22, thereby clamping the corresponding armrest 61, so that the tray is fixed on the seat; when the tray is not needed, the tray and the installation assembly can be disassembled and the seat is used alone, thereby meeting the various use requirements of the sitter.

[0042] Further, in the embodiment, the backrest 63 can rotate forward and backward, the armrest supporting arm 61a is preferably connected to the backrest 63, the cup seat connecting structure is connected to the corresponding armrest 61, and when the backrest 63 rotates backward, the tray also tilts backward to adapt to the sitting posture of the sitter, thereby making the sitter more comfortable when working or relaxing.

[0043] Further, after the width of the cooperation space 22 is adjusted to the position, the clamping force needs to be formed between the first clamping part 21 and the second clamping part 21a and needs to be kept relatively fixed, therefore, in the embodiment, the first clamping part 21 is provided with a spiral hole extending along the width direction of the cooperation space 22, the installation assembly further comprises a driving part, the driving part is a driving screw threadedly fitted in the spiral hole and can rotate in place, the outer end of the driving screw is connected with a handle, the handle is rotated, the first clamping part 21 is slid along the width direction of the cooperation space 22 and is stopped at the corresponding position; the threadedly fitted mode forms self-locking on the first clamping part 21, thereby preventing the first clamping part 21 from backtracking and causing the clamping to be loose.

[0044] Further, in order to ensure the use experience of the tray, the upper end of the tray is provided with a blocking part 3, the blocking part 3 protrudes upward from the upper end surface of the tray; the blocking part 3 can be integrally formed with the tray or connected with the tray through a detachable connection mode, when the tray tilts backward, the blocking part 3 can block the office articles on the tray from sliding off the tray.

[0045] Further, the tray comprises a tray body, the rear end of the tray body has an outwardly transversely extending extension part 11, the extension part 11 and the tray body form an L-shaped structure, and the installation assembly 2 is arranged at the lower end of the extension part 11; the extension part 11 can extend the front-to-back length of the tray, so that after the installation assembly is connected to the armrest 61 of the seat, a larger sitting space is formed between the tray body and the backrest.

[0046] Further, in order to shield the connection traces of the base and the tray, the upper end surface of the tray is connected with a cover plate 4, the cover plate 4 is fixed on the tray through gluing and shields the connection traces, so that the tray is more simple and generous in appearance, in addition, the thickness of the cover plate 4 is much smaller than the thickness of the tray 1, and will not greatly affect the flatness of the upper end surface of the tray.

[0047] Further, as shown in Figure 7 When the support plate is deflected backward with the backward rotation of the chair back 63, the cup holder 5 and the water cup placed on the cup holder 5 are also deflected. Since the arc-shaped matching surface 521 and the arc-shaped guide surface 511 are not fixed structures, and the cup holder 5 is only subjected to the downward gravity, the arc-shaped guide surface 511 guides the arc-shaped matching surface 521, so that the cup holder 5 and the water cup placed in the cup holder 5 are self-adaptively rotated and always kept vertical to the ground, preventing the beverage in the water cup from spilling out.

[0048] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that, as shown in Figures 8-9 Another different anti-toppling structure is provided in this embodiment, which includes a bushing 513 provided on one of the first connecting member and the second connecting member and extending in the left-right direction, and the outer end of the bushing 513 is outwardly open. The other of the first connecting member and the second connecting member is provided with a plug rod 523 matched with the bushing, and the plug rod 523 is inserted into the bushing 513 in the left-right direction, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member are rotationally connected.

[0049] The support plate 1 has a horizontal support state and an inclined support state deflected in the front-rear direction. When the support plate 1 is switched between the horizontal support state and the inclined support state, the plug rod 523 is self-adaptively rotated in the bushing 513, so that the cup holder 5 is always perpendicular to the ground, achieving the same anti-toppling effect.

[0050] Further, this embodiment is explained and described by taking the plug rod 523 provided on the first connecting member and the bushing 513 provided on the second connecting member. In order to prevent the plug rod 523 from being transmitted along the axis after being inserted into the bushing 513, the bushing 513 penetrates the second connecting member in the left-right direction, the plug rod 523 penetrates out of the bushing 513 and forms a limiting section, and a limiting cap 5a is detachably installed on the limiting section. The limiting cap 5a can be a rubber sleeve sleeved on the limiting section, or a threaded part threaded on the limiting section. The limiting cap 5a can prevent the plug rod 523 from moving along the axis, and ensure that the plug rod 523 rotates without being separated from the bushing 513.

[0051] Further, the detachable design of the limiting cap 5a also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cup holder. Specifically, when the cup holder is needed, the limiting cap 5a is installed on the limiting section to limit the movement and ensure the stability of the cup holder 5. When the cup holder 5 is not needed, the limiting cap 5a is removed from the limiting section, the plug rod 523 is pulled out, and then the cup holder 5 is disassembled from the support plate 1.

[0052] The above describes the utility model and its embodiments in a schematic manner, and the description is not restrictive, and the drawings only show one of the embodiments of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person of ordinary skill in the art is inspired thereby, without departing from the creative purpose of the utility model, similar structural modes and embodiments are designed without creativity, and all should belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
