Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of furniture technology, specifically relating to a folding side table. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies include side tables whose tabletops can extend above furniture such as sofas and beds for use. Further improvements include folding side tables that can be folded down to reduce floor space when not in use. However, existing folding side tables that allow the tabletop to be lowered often require the operation of support components located beneath the tabletop, making them less convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a folding side table with a structure different from that in the prior art, which does not require operation of support components and whose lowerable tabletop can be stably maintained at a fixed angle during use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A folding side table includes a support, a folding assembly connected to the top of the support, and a tabletop connected to the top of the folding assembly. The folding assembly includes a flip platform connected to the tabletop and a fixed platform connected to the support. The flip platform is movably connected to the fixed platform. The flip platform can fold down around the fixed platform to place the tabletop in a folded position, or fold up around the fixed platform to place the tabletop in a usable position. The folding assembly also includes a locking component. When the tabletop is in the usable position, the locking component can lock or unlock the relative position of the flip platform and the fixed platform.

[0006] The folding side table provided by this utility model uses a folding component as an intermediate connector between the support and the tabletop. A flip-up platform and a fixed platform are connected to the tabletop and support respectively. The tabletop folds down from the fixed platform with the flip-up platform to a folded position, or flips up from the fixed platform with the flip-up platform into a usable position. A locking component is used to lock or unlock the relative position of the flip-up platform and the fixed platform. In this utility model, no support component needs to be operated; the tabletop can be stably maintained at a fixed angle during use.

[0007] Preferably, when the tabletop is in the use position, the flip-up table covers the fixed table, and there is a cavity between the flip-up table and the fixed table to accommodate the locking assembly. The locking assembly includes a toggle member protruding outward from the cavity. When the relative position of the flip-up table and the fixed table is locked, the toggle member simultaneously abuts against both the flip-up table and the fixed table, locking the relative position between them. In this structure, the relative position between the flip-up table and the fixed table is locked or unlocked by the toggle member.

[0008] Preferably, the actuating component includes an abutting arm and a lever arranged at an angle. The side wall of the fixed platform has a switch groove for the lever to extend and slide therethrough. The side wall of the flip platform has an abutting groove for the abutting arm to extend through. The locking assembly also includes a switch support connected to the fixed platform. The actuating component cooperates with the switch support. When the table is in the use position, actuating the lever can cause the actuating component to slide relative to the switch support along a fixed trajectory, so that the end of the abutting arm extends through the abutting groove to lock the relative position between the flip platform and the fixed platform, or the abutting arm retracts to release the lock.

[0009] Preferably, the locking assembly further includes a spring sleeved on the actuating member. The spring abuts against the switch support and the actuating member, so that when the table is in the use position and there is no external force, the end of the abutting arm protrudes from the abutting groove, locking the relative position between the flip table and the fixed table. Moving the lever overcomes the spring force, causing the actuating member to retract, and the end of the abutting arm to retract, releasing the lock between the flip table and the fixed table. This structure requires force to move the lever to release the lock between the flip table and the fixed table, preventing accidental activation.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the abutment arm is inclined downwards, so that during the process of the tabletop moving from the folded position to the use position, the flipping platform can push the abutment arm end from top to bottom, causing it to overcome the spring force and retract into the cavity. When the tabletop is in the use position, the end of the abutment arm coincides with the abutment groove, and the actuating element returns to the position where the abutment arm end protrudes from the abutment groove under the action of the spring's elastic potential energy, locking the relative position between the flipping platform and the fixed platform. This structure gives the folding side table an automatic locking function; simply lifting the tabletop locks it in the use position.

[0011] Preferably, the folding side table further includes a reinforcing rod disposed below the tabletop and a reinforcing rod support spaced apart from the flip platform. The flip platform has a fixing hole that matches the shape of the reinforcing rod, and the reinforcing rod passes through the fixing hole and is supported on the flip platform and the reinforcing rod support. Since the tabletop is prone to deformation, this structure uses a reinforcing rod to strengthen it, resulting in a simple structure and increased load-bearing capacity of the folding side table.

[0012] Preferably, the tabletop is axially symmetrical, and the reinforcing rod is located on the axis of symmetry of the tabletop.

[0013] Preferably, the reinforcing rod is a profile, including a first sidewall and a second sidewall arranged at an angle, and also includes a connecting inner rib connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall, wherein the connecting inner rib and the first sidewall and the second sidewall surround to form a structural hole.

[0014] Preferably, the top wall of the flipping table, which connects to the bottom surface of the tabletop, has a positioning groove that matches the shape of the reinforcing rod. The first and second side walls of the reinforcing rod abut against the groove wall of the positioning groove, respectively. This structure, by limiting the displacement of the reinforcing rod through the positioning groove, makes the structure more stable.

[0015] Preferably, the tilting table further includes a fixing plate located below the positioning groove. The fixing plate extends obliquely from the positioning groove from the top wall of the tilting table. The reinforcing rod abuts against the fixing plate and the tabletop. The fixing plate has a screw hole, and the reinforcing rod is bolted to the fixing plate by a screw that threads into the screw hole. In this structure, the reinforcing rod is bolted to the fixing plate, further reinforcing the structure. The fixing plate and the tilting table can be integrally molded, which is easy to manufacture and fits well with the shape of the reinforcing rod.

[0016] Preferably, the folding side table further includes a first plug disposed at the end of the reinforcing rod near the flip platform, and a second plug disposed at the end of the reinforcing rod near the reinforcing rod support. The first plug passes through the side wall of the flip platform and then into the structural hole, and the second plug passes through the reinforcing rod support and then into the structural hole. The cross-section of the reinforcing rod is blocked by the flip platform and the reinforcing rod support. In this structure, by using the first and second plugs to block the ends of the reinforcing rod, the cross-section of the reinforcing rod is hidden after installation, resulting in a more refined appearance.

[0017] Preferably, the support includes a telescopic leg, which includes a fixed leg and a movable leg sleeved with the fixed leg. The movable leg can slide along the fixed leg and is connected to the fixed platform. The telescopic leg also includes a fixed stop component that passes through the center of the fixed leg and into the center of the movable leg, and a gear adjustment component that cooperates with the fixed stop component. The fixed stop component has several slots. The gear adjustment component includes a fixed seat connected to the movable leg and a slider floatingly connected to the fixed seat. The slider can engage with the several slots. The gear adjustment component also... The device includes a switch assembly for adjusting the lateral distance between the slider and the fixed stop component. This allows the slider to move away from the slot so that the movable leg retracts into the fixed leg, or to move the slider into the slot to restrict the retraction of the movable leg. The openings of the slots are inclined towards the direction of the movable leg's extension, ensuring that when subjected to a force in the direction of the movable leg's retraction, the slider can remain within any slot. The slider's travel range within the fixed seat is greater than the distance between adjacent slots on the fixed stop component. As the fixed seat moves outward with the movable leg, it causes the slider to slide into adjacent slots sequentially. This structure adjusts the height of the support by extending and retracting the telescopic leg. The telescopic leg, which can be extended even in the locked state and provides support after extension, allows for unobstructed upward movement of the tabletop. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other element, or there may be an intervening element present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] A folding side table includes a support 1, a folding assembly 2 connected to the top of the support 1, and a tabletop 3 connected to the top of the folding assembly 2. The folding assembly 2 includes a flipping platform 21 connected to the tabletop 3 and a fixed platform 22 connected to the support 1. The flipping platform 21 and the fixed platform 22 are movably connected. The flipping platform 21 can be flipped down around the fixed platform 22 to put the tabletop 3 in a folded position, or flipped up around the fixed platform 22 to put the tabletop 3 in a usable position. The folding assembly 2 also includes a locking assembly 24. When the tabletop 3 is in the usable position, the locking assembly 24 can lock or unlock the relative position of the flipping platform 21 and the fixed platform 22.

[0030] In the folding side table provided by this utility model, a folding component 2 is used as an intermediate connecting member between the support 1 and the tabletop 3. A flipping platform 21 and a fixed platform 22 are respectively connected to the tabletop 3 and the support 1. The tabletop 3 folds down from the fixed platform 22 with the flipping platform 21 to a folded position, or flips up from the fixed platform 22 with the flipping platform 21 to a usable position. A locking component 24 is used to lock or unlock the relative position of the flipping platform 21 and the fixed platform 22. In this utility model, the tabletop 3 can be stably maintained at a fixed angle during use without the need to operate the support member.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, when the tabletop 3 is in the use position, the flip platform 21 covers the fixed platform 22. A cavity exists between the flip platform 21 and the fixed platform 22 to accommodate the locking assembly 24. The locking assembly 24 includes a toggle member 241 protruding outward from the cavity. When the relative positions of the flip platform 21 and the fixed platform 22 are locked, the toggle member 241 simultaneously abuts against both the flip platform 21 and the fixed platform 22, locking the relative positions between them. In this structure, the toggle member 241 is used to lock or unlock the relative positions between the flip platform 21 and the fixed platform 22. In one possible implementation, the flip table 21 is provided with a hook, and the locking assembly 24 includes a fixing pin and an actuating member 241 sleeved on the fixing pin. The fixing platform 22 has a groove for the actuating member 241 to protrude and slide therein. When the tabletop 3 is in the use position, the shape of the hook portion matches the shape of the groove. When the folding side table is in the use state, the actuating member 241 not only abuts against the hook but also against the groove wall. The actuating member 241 can move in and out of the hook by rotating around the fixing pin. In this structure, the actuating member 241 is not easily deformed. In another possible implementation, the locking assembly 24 also includes a slide rail connected to the flip table 21, a slider cooperating with the slide rail, and an actuating member 241 connected to the slider. When the tabletop 3 is in the use position, the actuating member 241 can move along the slide rail and protrude through the side walls of the flip table 21 and the fixing platform 22 into the cavity.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the actuating member 241 includes an abutting arm 2411 and a lever 2412 arranged at an angle. The side wall of the fixed platform 22 has a switch groove 220 for the lever 2412 to extend and slide therein. The side wall of the flip platform 21 has an abutting groove 210 for the abutting arm 2411 to extend therein. The locking assembly 24 also includes a switch support 243 connected to the fixed platform 22. The actuating member 241 cooperates with the switch support 243. When the table 3 is in the use position, actuating the lever 2412 can cause the actuating member 241 to slide relative to the switch support 243 along a fixed trajectory, so that the end of the abutting arm 2411 extends out of the abutting groove 210 to lock the relative position between the flip platform 21 and the fixed platform 22, or the abutting arm 2411 retracts to release the lock. In the preferred embodiment, the abutment arm 2411 and the lever 2412 are set at a 90-degree angle; in other embodiments, other angles may also be used. In the preferred embodiment, the switch support 243 is integrally connected to the fixed platform 22 and has a mating hole for the actuating member 241 to pass through. The shape of the actuating member 241 matches the mating hole and is restricted by the mating hole to slide along a fixed trajectory. In other embodiments, conventional settings such as slide rails may also be used.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the locking assembly 24 further includes a spring 242 sleeved on the actuating member 241. The spring 242 abuts against the switch support 243 and the actuating member 241, so that when the tabletop 3 is in the use position, without external force, the end of the abutting arm 2411 protrudes from the abutting groove 210, locking the relative position between the flip table 21 and the fixed table 22. Moving the lever 2412 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 242, causing the actuating member 241 to retract, and the end of the abutting arm 2411 to retract, releasing the lock between the flip table 21 and the fixed table 22. This structure requires force to move the lever 2412 to release the lock between the flip table 21 and the fixed table 22, preventing accidental activation.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the abutment arm 2411 is tilted downwards, so that during the process of the tabletop 3 moving from the folded position to the use position, the flipping platform 21 can push the end of the abutment arm 2411 downwards to overcome the elastic force of the spring 242 and retract into the cavity. When the tabletop 3 is in the use position, the end of the abutment arm 2411 coincides with the abutment groove 210, and the actuating member 241 returns to the position where the end of the abutment arm 2411 protrudes from the abutment groove 210 under the action of the elastic potential energy of the spring 242, locking the relative position between the flipping platform 21 and the fixed platform 22. This structure gives the folding side table an automatic locking function; simply lifting the tabletop 3 locks it in the use position.

[0035] refer to Figure 1In a preferred embodiment, the folding side table further includes a reinforcing rod 4 disposed below the tabletop 3, and a reinforcing rod support 5 spaced apart from the flip platform 21. The flip platform 21 has a fixing hole 211 that matches the shape of the reinforcing rod 4. The reinforcing rod 4 passes through the fixing hole 211 and is supported on the flip platform 21 and the reinforcing rod support 5. Since the tabletop is prone to deformation, this structure uses a reinforcing rod 4 to strengthen the tabletop 3, resulting in a simple structure and increased load-bearing capacity of the folding side table. In the preferred embodiment, the reinforcing rod 4 is a profile with a roughly triangular cross-section. In other embodiments, the reinforcing rod 4 can also be a round rod, square tube, or any other arbitrary shape, as long as it provides support. In the preferred embodiment, only one reinforcing rod 4 is provided; in other embodiments, multiple reinforcing rods 4 can be provided.

In the preferred embodiment, the tabletop 3 is generally rectangular, with only one reinforcing rod 4 located on the center line of the rectangle. In other embodiments, the tabletop 3 can also be any other axially symmetrical shape.

[0037] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing rod 4 is a profile, including a first sidewall 41 and a second sidewall 42 arranged at an angle, and also includes a connecting inner rib 43 connecting the first sidewall 41 and the second sidewall 42, wherein the connecting inner rib 43 and the first sidewall 41 and the second sidewall 42 surround to form a structural hole.

[0038] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the top wall of the flipping table 21, which connects to the bottom surface of the tabletop 3, is provided with a positioning groove 212 that matches the shape of the reinforcing rod 4. The first side wall 41 and the second side wall 42 of the reinforcing rod 4 respectively abut against the groove wall of the positioning groove 212. In this structure, the displacement of the reinforcing rod 4 is restricted by the positioning groove 212, making the structure more stable.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the tilting table 21 further includes a fixing plate 213 located below the positioning groove 212. The fixing plate 213 extends obliquely from the positioning groove 212 from the top wall of the tilting table 21. The reinforcing rod 4 abuts against the fixing plate 213 and the tabletop 3. The fixing plate 213 has a screw hole, and the reinforcing rod 4 is bolted to the fixing plate 213 by a screw that threads into the screw hole. In this structure, the reinforcing rod 4 is bolted to the fixing plate 213, further reinforcing the structure. The fixing plate 213 and the tilting table 21 can be integrally molded, which is easy to manufacture and fits well with the shape of the reinforcing rod 4.

[0040] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the folding side table further includes a first plug 61 disposed at one end of the reinforcing rod 4 near the flip platform 21, and a second plug 62 disposed at one end of the reinforcing rod 4 near the reinforcing rod support 5. The first plug 61 passes through the side wall of the flip platform 21 and then into the structural hole, and the second plug 62 passes through the reinforcing rod support 5 and then into the structural hole. The cross-section of the reinforcing rod 4 is blocked by the flip platform 21 and the reinforcing rod support 5. In this structure, the first plug 61 and the second plug 62 are used to block the end of the reinforcing rod 4, and the cross-section of the reinforcing rod 4 is hidden after installation, resulting in a more refined appearance.

[0041] refer to Figure 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, the support 1 includes a telescopic leg, which includes a fixed leg 11 and a movable leg 12 sleeved with the fixed leg 11. The movable leg 12 can slide along the fixed leg 11. The movable leg 12 is connected to the fixed platform 22. The telescopic leg also includes a fixed stop member 13 that passes through the center of the fixed leg 11 and into the center of the movable leg 12, and a gear adjustment assembly 14 that cooperates with the fixed stop member 13. The fixed stop member 13 is provided with a plurality of slots 131. The gear adjustment assembly 14 includes a fixed seat 141 connected to the movable leg 12 and a slider 142 floatingly connected to the fixed seat 141. The slider 142 can be engaged with the plurality of slots 131. The gear adjustment assembly 14 also includes an opening The switch assembly 143 is used to adjust the lateral distance between the slider 142 and the fixed stop member 13, so that the slider 142 leaves the slot 131 so that the movable support leg 12 retracts into the fixed support leg 11, or so that the slider 142 moves into the slot 131 to restrict the retraction of the movable support leg 12; the opening direction of the plurality of slots 131 is inclined towards the direction in which the movable support leg 12 extends, so that when subjected to a force in the direction of retraction of the movable support leg 12, the slider 142 can be held in any slot 131, the travel range of the slider 142 in the fixed seat 141 is greater than the distance between adjacent slots 131 on the fixed stop member 13, and when the fixed seat 141 moves outward with the movable support leg 12, it drives the slider 142 to slide into adjacent slots 131 in sequence. In this structure, the height of the support 1 is adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic legs. The telescopic legs can be extended even when locked and provide support after extension, so as to achieve unobstructed rise of the table 3.

[0042] refer to Figure 5-6In the preferred embodiment, the switch assembly 143 includes a handle assembly connected to the movable leg 12, and a rope with one end connected to the slider 142 and the other end connected to the handle assembly. The rope is located at the center of the movable leg 12. Pulling the handle assembly causes the rope to move the slider 142 out of the slot 131 and to the side of the fixed stop member 13. Using the handle assembly as a switch to control the retraction capability of the telescopic leg provides an adjustment method similar to common pneumatic rods, conforming to consumer usage habits. Furthermore, this telescopic leg structure has a lower failure rate compared to pneumatic rods. When it is necessary to shorten the telescopic leg, pulling the handle assembly causes the slider 142 to move out of the slot 131 and to the side of the fixed stop member 13. When the telescopic leg retracts to the desired length, releasing the handle assembly causes the slider 142 to slide into the nearby slot 131, abutting against the fixed stop member 13 and restricting the retraction of the movable leg 12.

[0043] refer to Figure 5-6 In a preferred embodiment, the handle assembly includes a handle, a rotating rod that rotates with the handle, and a rope connector connected to the rotating rod. The two ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the wall of the inner tube. The rope connector is sleeved on the rotating rod, and the rope is connected to the rope connector at a position away from the axis of the rotating rod. When the handle is pulled, the rotating rod rotates, which drives the rope connector to rotate. The rope connector drives the rope to move, and the rope drives the slider 142 to move out of the slot 131.

[0044] In the preferred embodiment, the support 1 includes a telescopic leg and a movable base. One end of the telescopic leg is connected to the fixed platform 22, and the other end is connected to the movable base. The movable base is equipped with casters, allowing the folding side table to be pushed.
