[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding coffee table, including a base plate 1, with casters 2 fixed to the lower corner of the base plate 1 by screws, a coffee table stand 3 arranged above the base plate 1, a support plate adjustment mechanism 4 arranged inside the side of the base plate 1, and a coffee table folding mechanism 5 arranged at the upper end of the base plate 1; the coffee table folding mechanism 5 includes a T-slot 51, a T-block 52, a first fixing component 53, a first hinge seat 54, a support rod 55, a rotating shaft 56, a second hinge seat 57, a first bolt 58, and a fixing plate 59, with a folding mechanism 59 provided at the upper corner of the base plate 1. Two sets of T-slots 51, with T-blocks 52 slidably connected inside the T-slots 51. The T-blocks 52 are fixedly connected to the base plate 1 by a fixing component 53. The upper end of the T-blocks 52 is fixed with a hinge seat 54 by screws. The upper end of the hinge seat 54 is rotatably connected with a support rod 55. The center positions of the two sets of support rods 55 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 56. The upper end of the support rod 55 is provided with a hinge seat 57. The upper end of the hinge seat 57 is fixed with a fixing plate 59 by screws. The fixing plate 59 is fixedly connected to the coffee table 3 by bolts 58.
[0026] Specifically, the fixing component 53 includes screw holes 531 and bolts 532. The T-block 52 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 by bolts 532. Multiple sets of screw holes 531 corresponding to bolts 532 are provided on the upper end of the base plate 1 near the T-slot 51.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, after the height of the coffee table 3 is adjusted, the bolt 2 532 is inserted into the corresponding screw hole 531 to fix the coffee table 3, so that the coffee table 3 can be adjusted in height and folded.
[0028] Specifically, the lower end of the support rod 55 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 54 via a pin, and the upper end of the support rod 55 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 57 via a pin.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure can avoid the problem of the support rod 55 getting stuck during rotation.
[0030] In this embodiment, when adjusting the height of the coffee table 3, first remove bolt 2 532 from the inside of bolt hole 531, slide T-block 52 in T-slot 51. When T-block 52 slides, it will drive hinge seat 1 54 to slide. By connecting the lower end of support rod 55 to hinge seat 1 54 through a pin, and the upper end of support rod 55 to hinge seat 2 57 through a pin, when hinge seat 1 54 slides, it will drive the angle of support rod 55 to change. When the angle of support rod 55 changes, the two sets of support rods 55 will be connected by rotating shaft 56, thereby realizing the height adjustment of coffee table 3. When coffee table 3 is lowered to the lowest position, coffee table 3 will be in a folded state.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the support plate adjustment mechanism 4 includes a fixing block 41, a mounting groove 42, a second fixing component 43, a support plate 44, a first fixing hole 45, and a second fixing hole 49. A fixing block 41 is provided inside the side of the base plate 1, and a mounting groove 42 corresponding to the fixing block 41 is opened on the side of the base plate 1. A support plate 44 is installed at the lower end of the fixing block 41. A second fixing component 43 is provided inside the fixing block 41. A first fixing hole 45 is opened on one side of the mounting groove 42 corresponding to the position of the second fixing component 43, and a second fixing hole 49 is opened on one side of the mounting groove 42 near the first fixing hole 45.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the coffee table can be moved by the caster wheel 2. When the coffee table is moved to a suitable position, the hand first releases the limiting position of the fixing component 2 43 on the fixing block 41, and then slides the fixing block 41 downward, so that the support plate 44 drops down to contact the ground. At this time, the contact area between the base plate 1 and the ground can be increased, thereby improving the contact area between the base plate 1 and the ground, so as to ensure that the coffee table will not slide relative to the ground when in use.
[0034] Specifically, the support plate adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a slide groove 46, a spring 47, a slide rod 48, and a slider 410. Sliders 410 are installed on the other two sides of the fixing block 41. The side of the mounting groove 42 has a corresponding slide groove 46 for the slider 410. A slide rod 48 is inserted through the inside of the slider 410. A spring 47 is fitted onto the surface of the slide rod 48 at the upper end of the slider 410. The lower end of the spring 47 is fixed to the upper surface of the slider 410, and the upper end of the spring 47 is fixed to the top of the slide groove 46. When the fixing block 41 is in the bottom-touching state, the spring 47 is in the stretched state.
[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fixed block 41 slides down, it will drive the slider 410 to slide inside the slide groove 46. At the same time, the slider 410 will drive the surface of the slide rod 48 to slide and drive the spring 47 to stretch. When the coffee table needs to be moved, when the fixed component 43 is released from the fixed block 41, the spring 47 will reset, thereby driving the support plate 44 to rise. Then, the support plate 44 can be slid upward by hand. At this time, the fixed component 43 will cooperate with the fixed hole 45 to fix the fixed block 41.
[0036] Specifically, the fixing component 43 includes a circular groove 431, a handle 432, a pull rod 433, a second spring 434, a circular plate 435, and a fixing rod 436. The fixing block 41 has a circular groove 431 inside, and a circular plate 435 is slidably connected inside the circular groove 431. A fixing rod 436 is fixed to one side of the circular plate 435, and a pull rod 433 is fixed to the other side of the circular plate 435. A handle 432 is provided at the other end of the pull rod 433, and a second spring 434 is sleeved inside the circular groove 431 on the surface of the pull rod 433.
[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, when fixing the fixing block 41, by pulling the handle 432, the handle 432 pulls the pull rod 433, the pull rod 433 pulls the circular plate 435 to slide inside the circular groove 431, and drives the second spring 434 to compress, so that the fixing rod 436 slides out inside the first fixing hole 45. When the support plate 44 is lowered to contact the ground, the fixing rod 436 is aligned with the second fixing hole 49. At this time, the second spring 434 rebounds, thereby driving the fixing rod 436 to insert into the second fixing hole 49, so as to fix the fixing block 41.
[0038] In this embodiment, the coffee table can be moved using the casters 2. Once the coffee table is in the desired position, the fixing component 2 43 is released from its restraint on the fixing block 41, and then the fixing block 41 is slid downwards, causing the support plate 44 to descend to contact the ground. This increases the contact area between the base plate 1 and the ground, preventing the coffee table from sliding relative to the ground during use. As the fixing block 41 slides downwards, it causes the slider 410 to slide inside the groove 46. Simultaneously, the slider 410 causes the surface of the sliding rod 48 to slide, stretching the spring 47. When the coffee table needs to be moved again, the fixing component 2 43 is released from its restraint on the fixing block 41. When the limit is reached, spring 47 returns to its original position, causing the support plate 44 to rise. Then, the support plate 44 is slid upward by hand. At this time, the fixing component 43 will cooperate with the fixing hole 45 to fix the fixing block 41. When fixing the fixing block 41, the handle 432 is pulled, which pulls the rod 433. The rod 433 pulls the circular plate 435 to slide inside the circular groove 431, which in turn compresses the spring 434 and causes the fixing rod 436 to slide out inside the fixing hole 45. When the support plate 44 is lowered to contact the ground, the fixing rod 436 is aligned with the fixing hole 49. At this time, the spring 434 rebounds, which causes the fixing rod 436 to insert into the fixing hole 49 to fix the fixing block 41.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When adjusting the height of the coffee table 3, firstly, remove bolt 2 532 from the inside of the screw hole 531, slide the T-block 52 in the T-slot 51. When the T-block 52 slides, it will drive the hinge seat 1 54 to slide. By rotatably connecting the lower end of the support rod 55 to the hinge seat 1 54 through a pin, and rotatably connecting the upper end of the support rod 55 to the hinge seat 2 57 through a pin, when the hinge seat 1 54 slides, it will drive the angle of the support rod 55 to change. When the angle of the support rod 55 changes... This allows the two sets of support rods 55 to be rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 56, thereby enabling height adjustment of the coffee table 3. When the coffee table 3 is lowered to its lowest position, it is in a folded state. The casters 2 can be used to move the coffee table. Once the coffee table is in the desired position, the hand first releases the limiting position of the fixing component 43 on the fixing block 41, then slides the fixing block 41 downwards, causing the support plate 44 to descend to contact the ground. This increases the contact area between the base plate 1 and the ground, thereby improving the contact strength between the base plate 1 and the ground. The area is designed to prevent the coffee table from sliding relative to the ground during use. When the fixed block 41 slides downward, it causes the slider 410 to slide inside the slide groove 46. At the same time, the slider 410 causes the surface of the slide rod 48 to slide, and causes the spring 47 to stretch. When the coffee table needs to be moved, the limiting position of the fixed component 43 on the fixed block 41 is released again. At this time, the spring 47 returns to its original position, thereby causing the support plate 44 to rise. Then, the support plate 44 can be slid upward by hand. At this time, the fixed component 43 will cooperate with the fixing hole 45, thus... To fix the fixing block 41, the handle 432 is pulled, which in turn pulls the rod 433. The rod 433 pulls the circular plate 435 to slide inside the circular groove 431, which in turn compresses the second spring 434. This causes the fixing rod 436 to slide out inside the first fixing hole 45. When the support plate 44 is lowered to contact the ground, the fixing rod 436 is aligned with the second fixing hole 49. At this time, the second spring 434 rebounds, thereby causing the fixing rod 436 to insert into the second fixing hole 49, thus fixing the fixing block 41.
