[0035] 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.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a specific embodiment of a folding dining table, including a support frame 1, a top plate 2 disposed on the top of the support frame 1, and a bottom plate 3 disposed at the bottom of the support frame 1.

[0037] The support frame 1 includes two vertically arranged and parallel rectangular frames 11, with the two ends of the bottom of the rectangular frames 11 extending vertically downward to form support feet; the bottom of the support frame can be equipped with casters to improve the ease of moving the entire folding dining table.

[0038] A connecting rod assembly 12 is horizontally provided on both sides of the two rectangular frames 11. The connecting rod assembly 12 is formed by two connecting rods 13 symmetrically hinged together, so that the connecting rod assembly 12 can be folded along its own hinge axis. The two ends of the connecting rod assembly 12 are respectively hinged to the two rectangular frames 11.

[0039] The two rectangular frames 11 have the same shape, and the connecting rod assemblies 12 have the same length, so that when the entire support frame 1 is unfolded, the horizontal cross-section of the support frame 1 is rectangular. The entire support frame 1 is similar to a cuboid shape.

[0040] The base plate 3 is symmetrically hinged to two support plates 31. The two sides of the base plate 3 that are parallel to its own hinge axis are respectively hinged to two rectangular frames 11. The base plate 3 can be folded along its own hinge axis and can be folded synchronously with the connecting rod assembly 12.

[0041] Furthermore, since the support frame 1 is easily deformable, by connecting the base plate 3 to the support frame 1, the unfolded base plate 3 can fix and support the entire support frame 1, preventing the support frame 1 from deforming, and at the same time, it can also realize the rapid unfolding and folding of the entire support frame 1.

[0042] The top plate 2 is detachably connected to the support frame 1 to facilitate the unfolding and folding of the entire dining table.

[0043] Furthermore, top panel 2 is a single panel, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the top of the rectangular frame 11 is provided with a plurality of first positioning posts 17 vertically upward, and the bottom surface of the top plate 2 is provided with a first positioning groove at the corresponding position that can match the first positioning posts 17, so that the first positioning posts 17 can be locked in the first positioning groove to fix the top plate 2 on the support frame 1.

[0044] Or such as Figure 3 As shown, the top plate 2 is composed of multiple heating panels 21 with heating function. Specifically, the heating panels 21 are detachably connected to the top of the support frame 1, and their connection method is consistent with the connection method of the top being an integral panel. After the multiple heating panels 21 and the support frame 1 are assembled, the multiple heating panels 21 form a whole.

[0045] In order to maintain the stability of the entire support frame 1 during the unfolding or folding process, in this embodiment, the two rectangular frames 11 are provided with at least two sets of connecting rod assemblies 12 on the same side.

[0046] At least one set of link assemblies 12 is located below the base plate 3; and among the link assemblies 12 located below the base plate 3, the link 13 of the link assembly 12 closest to the base plate 3 is provided with a support member 14 in the direction toward the base plate 3, and the support member 14 is used to support the support plate 31.

[0047] This embodiment provides the following examples for the linkage assembly 12, such as... Figure 4 As shown:

[0048] Two rectangular frames 11 are provided with two sets of connecting rod assemblies 12 on the same side, wherein the plane of the lower connecting rod assembly 12 is located below the base plate 3.

[0049] The hinge axis of the connecting rod assembly 12 and the hinge axis of the base plate 3 are located in the same vertical plane. Two sets of support members 14 are provided on a single connecting rod assembly 12. The two sets of support members 14 are respectively provided on the connecting rods 13 on both sides of the hinge axis of the connecting rod assembly 12, which can support the two support plates 31 of the base plate 3 respectively to maintain stability.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to enable the base plate 3 to fold synchronously with the connecting rod assembly 12, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the support member 14 is provided with a driving member 15, which can move toward the support plate 31 during the folding of the linkage assembly 12; and the position where the driving member 15 contacts the support plate 31 is an inclined surface 16, which is inclined toward the direction of the linkage assembly 12, so that the driving member 15 and the support plate 31 do not restrict each other after contacting each other, and the driving member 15 can apply an upward external force to the support plate 31, so that the support plate 31 is lifted up, providing space for the linkage assembly 12 to continue folding; and as the linkage assembly 12 folds, the support plates 31 on both sides continue to be lifted up, finally realizing the folding of the base plate 3, so that the base plate 3 and the driving assembly can fold synchronously.

[0051] Furthermore, the driving component 15 and the support component 14 are integrally formed and are metal structural components; the bottom of the base plate 3 is provided with a guide component 18, which is a direct metal component that wraps around the corners of the base plate 3. The guide component 18 directly contacts the driving component 15 and the support component 14 to prevent the driving component 15 from getting stuck at the corners of the bottom of the base plate 3 during movement, making the entire folding process smoother.

[0052] In this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, one or more sides of the support frame 1 are provided with a surrounding panel 4 to protect the interior space of the entire support frame 1 from dust. The surrounding panel 4 is detachable from the support frame 1 to facilitate the folding and unfolding of the entire folding dining table 6. This structure also allows users to choose whether to install the surrounding panel 4 or not according to their actual needs.

[0053] Preferably, the side panels 4 are installed on the front side of the support frame 1 facing the diners and on both sides.

[0054] The side panel 4, which is parallel to the rectangular frame 11, is detachably connected to the rectangular frame 11; the side panel 4, which is parallel to the connecting rod assembly 12, is detachably connected to the connecting rod assembly 12.

[0055] Furthermore, among the multiple sets of link assemblies 12 located on the same side of the two rectangular frames 11, the top of the uppermost link assembly 12 is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the rectangular frame 11.

[0056] In this embodiment, two sets of connecting rod assemblies 12 are provided on the same side of the two rectangular frames 11, so the top of the upper connecting rod assembly 12 is on the same horizontal plane as the top of the rectangular frame 11.

[0057] Multiple notches 41 are opened on the top of the two links 13 of the single link assembly 12 and the top of the rectangular frame 11 respectively. The top of the enclosure 4 is provided with a right-angle hanger 42, which can be locked in the notch 41 to realize the installation of the enclosure 4.

[0058] When multiple folding dining tables need to be combined, this embodiment uses a support panel 5 to connect two folding dining tables.

[0059] Specifically, the two connecting rods 13 of the uppermost connecting rod assembly 12 each have a layer 51 along the horizontal plane. A support block 52 is provided in the layer 51. The support block 52 has a rotating shaft in the vertical direction, so that the support block 52 can rotate in the plane of the layer 51.

[0060] The support block 52 is used to support the support panel 5. The end of the support block 52 is provided with a second positioning post 57 vertically upward. The bottom surface of the support panel 5 is provided with a second positioning groove that can match the second positioning post 57 at the corresponding position, so that the second positioning post 57 can be locked in the second positioning groove to fix the support panel 5 on the support block 52.

[0061] The support panel 5 can connect the two folding dining tables 6 into a whole, and the top of the support panel 5 and the top of the top plate 2 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0062] When it is not necessary to combine multiple folding dining tables 6, or when installing the enclosure 4, the support block 52 is rotated into the interior of the interlayer 51; when it is necessary to combine multiple folding dining tables 6, the support block 52 is rotated out of the interlayer 51, and the second positioning post 57 of the support block 52 is located outside the projection surface of the entire support frame 1.

[0063] Furthermore, to prevent the second positioning post 57 from obstructing the rotation of the support block 52 during its rotation into the interlayer 51, this embodiment also provides the following examples, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown:

[0064] The top of the support block 52 has a vertically downward-facing inner groove 56. The bottom of the second positioning post 57 is provided with a rotating shaft and is located in the inner groove 56. The second positioning post 57 is rotatably connected to the support block 52 via the rotating shaft and can rotate toward the inner groove 56, so that the second positioning post 57 can be completely located in the inner groove 56.

[0065] This utility model also provides an embodiment of a freely combinable buffet line, including a folding buffet table 6 and a support panel 5; the support panel 5 is disposed between two folding buffet tables 6, and the support panel 5 is detachably connected to the support block 52 of the folding buffet table 6.

[0066] The support panel 5 can connect two folding tables 6 into a whole, and the top of the support panel 5 and the top of the top plate 2 are on the same horizontal plane, so that multiple folding tables 6 can be connected in series to form a buffet line.

[0067] Furthermore, the support panel 5 includes a rectangular support panel 53 and a right-angled fan-shaped support panel 54; the rectangular support panel 53 is the same width as the top plate 2 and is used to form a long buffet line from the two folding tables 6; the right-angled side of the right-angled fan-shaped support panel 54 is the same width as the top plate 2 and is used to form a right-angled buffet line from the two folding tables 6.

[0068] By setting up the support panel 5, the number of folding dining tables 6 can be reduced. For example, normally three sets of dining tables need to be set up in a straight line, but in this embodiment, only two sets of folding dining tables 6 are needed. The two sets of folding dining tables 6 are connected by a rectangular support panel 53, which can be used as a third dining table.

[0069] This embodiment provides a specific example of a buffet line, such as... Figure 7 As shown:

[0070] Multiple folding buffet tables 6 are connected by rectangular support panels 53 to form a long buffet line. Right-angled fan-shaped support panels 54 are then used at both ends of the long buffet line to form a right-angled buffet line, so that the entire buffet line appears as a concave shape on the projection surface. The area enclosed by the entire buffet line is the area where the staff are located.

[0071] Furthermore, in combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 Multiple folding tables 6 can be combined into a buffet line of any shape using the support panel 5.

[0072] Among them, the folding dining table 6 and the rectangular support panel 53 are equipped with a side panel 4 on the side facing the diners.

[0073] This embodiment provides an example of assembling a rectangular support panel 53 with a surrounding panel 4, such as... Figure 9 As shown:

[0074] The bottom of the rectangular support panel 53 is provided with a U-shaped piece 55 along the long side. The right-angled hanger 42 at the top of the enclosure 4 can be locked in the U-shaped piece 55, so that the enclosure 4 can be detachably connected to the rectangular support panel 53.

[0075] The area where the right-angled fan-shaped support panel 54 is located is not enclosed by a partition 4 and is an open area; one or more right-angled fan-shaped support panels 58 can be horizontally installed below the right-angled fan-shaped support panel 54 for placing bowls and plates.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top of the folding buffet table 6 is equipped with a heating panel 21, while the supporting panel 5 does not have a heating function, so that the buffet line is divided into a heating zone and a normal temperature zone to accommodate the placement requirements of different dishes.

[0077] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. The scope of protection of this application is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to this application within its substance and scope of protection, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions should also be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this application.
