[0030] 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 skilled in the art are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Embodiment 1 of this utility model:

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the easy-to-store dining table turntable includes a grooved track 1 and several trays 2. The grooved track 1 has an annular groove. In this embodiment, the annular groove of the grooved track 1 is racetrack-shaped. The bottom side of the grooved track 1 is used to place it on the dining table. The cross-section of the grooved track 1 is a U-shaped groove with the groove facing upwards, allowing the trays 2 to be inserted. The trays 2 can be pushed by hand, causing them to move along the extension direction of the annular groove.

[0033] The trough-shaped track 1 includes several straight track plates 11 and two semi-circular track plates 12. Each straight track plate 11 is divided into two groups. In this embodiment, each group contains three straight track plates 11. The two groups are spaced apart. The two sides of the semi-circular track plates 12 are connected to the two groups of straight track plates 11 respectively. That is, the two semi-circular track plates 12 are located at the ends of the trough-shaped track 1.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the straight track plate 11 has a U-shaped groove running through its length. One end of the straight track plate 11 is a female clamp 111, and the other end is a male clamp 112. The female clamps 111 and male clamps 112 of adjacent track plates are connected. A stepped groove is provided at the female clamp 111, and the male clamp 112 is engaged in the stepped groove of an adjacent track plate. After engagement, the bottom surfaces of the grooves of the adjacent track plates are coplanar, allowing the tray 2 to move smoothly within them. The semi-circular track plate 12 has a male clamp and a female clamp that mate with the female and male clamps at one end of the straight track plate 11. After the semi-circular track plate 12 is connected to the straight track plate 11, the U-shaped groove of the semi-circular track plate 12 and the U-shaped groove of the straight track plate 11 are transitionally connected, allowing the tray 2 to move smoothly between the semi-circular track plate 12 and the adjacent straight track plate 11. The tray 2 can move forward or backward within the annular groove of the grooved track 1.

[0035] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the mating joints of the female connector 111 and the male connector 112 are each provided with corresponding through holes 113 for the rivets to pass through to achieve connection. The track plate is a plastic part made of existing materials and can be quickly connected using R-type rivets. R-type rivets, also known as expansion rivets, consist of two parts: a plastic male rivet and a female buckle. No installation tools are required during installation.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the tray holder 2 includes a rolling element 21 and a support plate 22. The rolling element 21 is cylindrical and is located in an annular groove, allowing it to move along the groove direction when subjected to force. The support plate 22 is used to hold the tray. The thickness of the support plate 22 is less than the thickness of the rolling element 21, and the diameter of the support plate 22 is greater than the diameter of the rolling element 21. The thickness of the rolling element 21 is slightly greater than the depth of the annular groove of the grooved track 1, creating a gap between the support plate 22 and the upper surface of the grooved track 1.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper side of the support plate 22 is provided with anti-slip texture (not shown), such as a circular pattern, to prevent the plate from slipping during use; an anti-slip layer can also be provided, such as attaching a thin silicone pad to the upper side of the support plate 22 to increase the friction between it and the plate.

[0038] When using the turntable of this utility model, the grooved track 1 is placed on a rectangular dining table, and according to the number of plates to be placed, the corresponding number of plate holders 2 are selected and placed into the annular groove of the grooved track 1, with each plate holder 2 supporting one plate. Figure 5 The diagram shows five trays 2, but this is not the only option. When the position of the plate needs to be adjusted, one of the trays 2 can be manually pushed. The support plate 22 on the upper part of the tray 2 can push the support plate on the adjacent side, thereby causing each tray 2 in the groove track 1 to move sequentially along the direction of the annular groove. The position of the plate can be adjusted multiple times as needed to meet the convenience of picking up food when multiple people are dining at the table.

[0039] This utility model of a rotating dining table can be used with an existing rectangular dining table when there are many diners, and can be removed when there are fewer diners. The grooved track 1 and plate holder 2 are also easy to store. It meets the convenience needs of dining with multiple people without replacing the existing dining table, thus reducing the purchase cost compared to buying an electric rotating dining table. The plate holder 2 is independent, and the required number of plate holders can be placed as needed, making it flexible in use.

[0040] Embodiment 2 of this utility model:

[0041] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, for a standard round table at home, the groove of the channel track 1 is designed as a ring shape, and the tray 2 can move in a circle. The channel track 1 includes several track plates connected in sequence, each track plate is an arc plate 3, and the connection method of the track plates and the tray 2 are the same as in embodiment 1.

[0042] In other embodiments, the annular groove may also be designed as a triangular shape, such as... Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the tray 2 moves along a triangular trajectory. The grooved track 1 includes three sector track plates 4, located at the three vertices of the triangle, and two sector track plates 4 are connected by a straight track plate 11.

[0043] In other embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, at the end, an L-shaped track plate 5 is connected to several straight track plates 11 in Example 1 to form a rectangular track of the required length, which is suitable for use with longer dining tables.

[0044] In other embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, several semi-circular track plates 12 from Embodiment 1 are sequentially connected to form an S-shaped track of the required length, suitable for banquets.

[0045] In other embodiments, the female and male card heads are interlocked instead of using rivets. The male card head has a locking post, and the female card head has a locking groove for locking in, similar to assembling building blocks.
