Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field, and in particular to an easy-to-fold conference table. Background Technology
[0002] A conference table is a table specifically designed for meetings, discussions, and training sessions. In modern office environments and meeting rooms, the conference table serves as an important piece of furniture, facilitating team discussions, decision-making, and information exchange. However, existing conference tables generally suffer from large size and fixed structure. This design limits the flexibility and space utilization of meeting rooms, making it difficult to quickly adjust the layout, especially in situations with limited space.
[0003] Because conference tables cannot be folded, transportation and storage become major challenges. Traditional conference tables occupy a significant amount of space when not in use, causing inconvenience to the office environment. Furthermore, the fixed structure of conference tables is poorly adaptable to different occasions and struggles to meet diverse needs. For example, when holding impromptu meetings, training sessions, or events, users often need to frequently adjust the meeting space, a convenience that existing conference table designs cannot provide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of conference table design that combines stability and convenience, meeting the requirements of modern office environments for flexible use and efficient storage.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easily foldable conference table to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0024] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.
[0026] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, an easy-to-fold conference table includes a mounting platform 1. The bottom of the mounting platform 1 is provided with several support legs 6. The end of each support leg 6 is connected to a brake wheel 8. The purpose of the brake wheel 8 is to effectively prevent the mounting platform 1 from moving accidentally during use, ensure stability, and reduce the risk of accidents. A motor 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. The output end of the motor 7 is connected to a motion component for controlling the extension and retraction of the conference table.
[0028] The motion component includes a mounting block 15 disposed in the mounting platform 1. The mounting block 15 has a mounting groove 17, which is circular. The first bevel gear 25, the second bevel gear 26, and the third bevel gear 27 are all in the mounting groove 17. The output end of the motor 7 passes through the mounting platform 1 and is connected to the third bevel gear 27. The first bevel gear 25 and the second bevel gear 26 are meshed on the outside of the third bevel gear 27.
[0029] A first gear 23 is connected to the shaft of the first bevel gear 25. A first rotating column 22 is connected to the shaft of the first gear 23. The first gear 23 is meshed with a first rack 20. A first moving plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the first rack 20. A first conference table 2 is connected to the top of the first moving plate 9. A second gear 24 is connected to the shaft of the second bevel gear 26. A second rotating column 28 is connected to the shaft of the second gear 24. The first rotating column 22 and the second rotating column 28 are installed in the mounting groove 17. When the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 rotate, they will not collide with the mounting groove 17. The second gear 24 is meshed with a second rack 21. A second moving plate 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second rack 21. A through circular groove 18 is symmetrically opened at the top of the second moving plate 10. A connecting column 19 is provided in the circular groove 18. The end of the connecting column 19 is connected to the second conference table 3. It should be noted that when the first conference table 2 and the second conference table 3 are in the folded state, the first conference table 3 is above the second conference table 2.
[0030] The mounting platform 1 is surrounded by a protective panel 16 for the mounting block 15. Mounting plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting platform 1. The mounting plates 4 have sliding grooves 30, which are L-shaped. When the first conference table 2 and the second conference table 3 are unfolded, as the second conference table 3 moves, the sliding column 29 moves to the port of the sliding groove 30, making it easy to be raised and docked with the first conference table 2 without leaving any gaps. The sliding column 29 is slidably connected in the second conference sliding groove 30 and is fixedly connected to the second conference table 3. One of the mounting plates 4 is equipped with a controller 5, which is electrically connected to the motor 7 and controls the start and stop of the motor 7.
[0031] The bottom of the first moving plate 9 and the second moving plate 10 are respectively equipped with a second limiting plate 13 and a first limiting plate 12. The top of the mounting block 15 is symmetrically equipped with a first limiting block 11 and a second limiting block 14. The first limiting plate 12 is slidably connected to the first limiting block 11, and the second limiting plate 13 is slidably connected to the second limiting block 14. The function of setting the first limiting block 11 and the second limiting block 13 here is to limit the movement trajectory of the first conference table 2 and the second conference table 3.
[0032] The motor 7 and controller 5 are both existing technologies. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the problems solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is controlled by the controller 5. The control circuit of the controller 5 can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0033] Working principle: Motor 7 starts, driving the third bevel gear 27 to rotate. This third bevel gear 27 then drives the second bevel gear 26 and the first bevel gear 25, which are meshed with it, to rotate. The first bevel gear 25 then drives the first gear 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the first rack 20 to move. The first rack 20 then drives the first moving plate 9 connected to it to move, which in turn drives the first conference table 2 to move. The second limiting plate 13 slides within the second limiting block 14. Simultaneously, the second bevel gear 26 drives the second gear 24 to move... The rotation of the gear 24 causes the second rack 21 to move, which in turn causes the second moving plate 10 to move. Since the connecting column 19 at the bottom of the second conference table 3 is in the circular groove 18 of the second moving plate 10, the second conference table 3 is moved. The first limiting plate 12 slides in the first limiting block 11, and the sliding column 29 on the side of the second conference table 3 moves in the sliding groove 30. When it moves to the front end, it will lift the second conference table 3, so that the connecting column 19 slides in the circular groove 18, and the first conference table 2 and the second conference table 3 are spliced together.
