[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the application. The components of the embodiments of the application described and shown in the drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] In the description of the application, it should be noted that the positions or location relationships indicated by the terms “inner”, “outer” and the like are based on the positions or location relationships shown in the drawings, or the positions or location relationships in which the products of the application are usually placed, and are only for the convenience of describing the application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the application. In addition, the terms “first”, “second” and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms “set”, “connected” should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, can be the communication inside two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] The embodiments of the application provide a table tennis table, as shown in FIG. 1, which comprises a table top 100 and a score assembly. Figures 1 to 3

[0032] ​A central railing 500 is provided in the middle position of the table 100. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the center rail 500 divides the table 100 into two parts. Exemplarily, the center rail 500 is made of acrylic sheet or glass, but in some other embodiments, the center rail 500 is a hanging net. With the center rail 500 in place, the ping-pong table is effectively divided into two parts, providing clear playing areas for the two players, helping to regulate playing behavior and ensure fairness.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the scoring assembly includes a scoring frame 200 and a slider 210.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the scoring rack 200 is set on the side of the table 100, and the scoring rack 200 is equipped with scoring scale.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the slider 210 is slidably mounted on the scoreboard 200. The slider 210 is placed on different scoring scales to record player scores. For example, with one slider 210 and two players, A and B, when player A scores, the slider 210 slides one scale towards player A; when player B scores, the slider 210 slides one scale towards player B. This is how scores are recorded. The player who slides to player A or player B determines the winner, or the player with the most points within a given time period wins. Alternatively, two sliders 210 can be used. One slider 210 is placed on the scoreboard 200 near player A; when player A scores, the slider 210 slides one scale towards player A. The other slider 210 is placed on the scoreboard 200 near player B; when player B scores, the slider 210 slides one scale towards player B. The player with the most points or the player with the most points within a given time period wins.

[0036] The designed scoring components make the scoring process simple and intuitive. Players or referees can easily record scores by moving the slider 210, without the need for additional scoring tools or equipment. It is low-cost, can be mass-produced, and is not dependent on power supply or venue, reducing the difficulty of promotion.

[0037] Of course, it should be understood that the above description of the function of slider 210 is only an example. The function of slider 210 is not limited to this. For example, slider 210 can also record the number of matches.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the ping-pong table further includes a ball rack 300, on which ball grooves for receiving ping-pong balls are provided. Exemplarily, at least two ball grooves are provided along the ball rack 300. Exemplarily, two ball grooves are provided. In another embodiment, three ball grooves are provided. In yet another embodiment, four ball grooves are provided. Of course, in some other embodiments, five, six, seven, or ten ball grooves may also be provided, etc.

[0039] For example, the ball trough can not only hold ping-pong balls, but also water cups and other items. The ball trough is convenient for holding ping-pong balls and other miscellaneous items, improving convenience.

[0040] The ball slots on the ping-pong stand 300 conveniently hold ping-pong balls, eliminating the need for players to frequently bend down to retrieve them during matches, thus improving the smoothness and convenience of the game. This also reduces the likelihood of interruptions caused by retrieving balls, contributing to a better overall gaming experience. The ball slots aren't limited to ping-pong balls; they can also be used to store water bottles and other miscellaneous items. This design increases the practicality of the ping-pong stand 300, allowing players to focus more on the game itself during matches or training without worrying about where to put their items. By centrally storing ping-pong balls and other items in the ball slots, items are prevented from scattering on the table or floor, maintaining a clean and orderly playing environment.

[0041] In one embodiment, the ball rack 300 is slidably mounted on the table 100 so that the ball rack 300 can extend or retract from the table 100.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ball rack 300 extends from the table 100 for easy access to the ping-pong balls. Figure 4 As shown, the ball rack 300 is retracted into the table 100 to prevent the ball rack 300 from affecting the game. Furthermore, retracting the ball rack 300 into the table 100 reduces the volume of the ping-pong table and minimizes the space occupied by the ping-pong table during storage.

[0043] For example, the ball rack 300 is slidably mounted on the table 100 via a slide rail. In another embodiment, the table 100 is provided with a telescopic member, and the ball rack 300 is provided on the telescopic end of the telescopic member. The telescopic member extends and retracts to extend or retract the ball rack 300 onto the table 100. The telescopic member includes, but is not limited to, hydraulic telescopic rods, pneumatic telescopic rods, electric actuators, threaded screw mechanisms, or linear motors.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the table 100 includes a tabletop 110 and table legs 120.

[0045] Desktop 110 is used to provide landing points for ping-pong balls, and the middle bar 500 is set on desktop 110; for example, as Figure 1As shown, the middle bar 500 is in a straight line, evenly dividing the desktop 110 into two player areas. However, in another embodiment, the middle bar 500 can divide the desktop 110 into multiple player areas. For example, the middle bar 500 has a cross-shaped structure, dividing the desktop 110 into four player areas. Or, for another example, the middle bar 500 has a Y-shaped structure, dividing the desktop 110 into three player areas, allowing more players to participate in the activity and thus increasing the game's fun.

[0046] The table legs 120 are fixedly connected to the tabletop 110, and the table legs 120 are used to support the tabletop 110.

[0047] In one embodiment, the table legs 120 are retractable, allowing the tabletop 100 to adapt to different ground heights and ensuring the stability of the tabletop 110. Furthermore, by adjusting the height of the table legs 120, users of different heights can ensure that each player can play in a comfortable posture, improving comfort and convenience. The retractable function of the table legs 120 not only facilitates height adjustment but also provides convenience during transport and storage. For example, when it is necessary to move the tabletop 100 or store it in a small space, the overall size can be reduced by retracting the table legs 120.

[0048] Table legs 120 include, but are not limited to: hydraulic telescopic rods, pneumatic telescopic rods, electric actuators, threaded screw mechanisms, or linear motors.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the table 100 further includes a first concave-convex structure 400, which is disposed on the tabletop 110. The first concave-convex structure 400 can provide a landing point for the ping-pong ball and provide a reaction force to the ping-pong ball, causing the ping-pong ball to bounce.

[0050] For example, the first concave-convex structure 400 has a first plate portion on which multiple concave-convex points are randomly arranged. When a ping-pong ball falls on a concave-convex point, the concave-convex point can exert a reaction force on the ping-pong ball, causing the ping-pong ball to bounce in a random direction, thereby increasing the fun and playability of the activity. The randomly distributed concave-convex points cause the ping-pong ball to have different bounce directions and speeds when it falls on the table 110, increasing the diversity and challenge of hitting the ball.

[0051] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the different materials used for the bumps (e.g., some bumps are made of rubber, while others are made of plastic) result in different reaction forces applied to the ping-pong ball. Therefore, the same ping-pong ball bounces in different directions and at different speeds when landing on different bumps, further enhancing the activity's fun and playability. The different reaction forces caused by different materials further enhance this diversity and unpredictability, making each shot feel fresh. Players need to adapt to the different bounce effects of the bumps, which helps improve their reaction speed, hand-eye coordination, and ping-pong skills.

[0052] For example, the first concave-convex structure 400 is a polygonal structure, such as a triangle, quadrilateral or pentagon.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the desktop 110 further includes a main board 112 and an expansion board 114, with a first concave-convex structure 400 disposed on the main board 112; the expansion board 114 is connected to the main board 112.

[0054] For example, the middle column 500 is set on the main body panel 112.

[0055] For example, table legs 120 are mounted on the main body plate 112 or the extension plate 114.

[0056] For example, the first concave-convex structure 400 is fixedly mounted on the main body plate 112 by means of welding, adhesive bonding, bolting, snap-fitting, or riveting. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, multiple first concave-convex structures 400 are provided on the main body plate 112, and the multiple first concave-convex structures 400 are spaced apart. However, in another embodiment, the shape and size of the first concave-convex structure 400 are adapted to the shape and size of the main body plate 112.

[0057] For example, the main body plate 112 and the expansion plate 114 are fixedly connected by welding, gluing, bolting, snap-fitting or riveting.

[0058] The expansion board 114 increases the desktop area 110, expanding the user's usable space.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the table 100 further includes a second concave-convex structure 450 disposed on the extension plate 114.

[0060] For example, the second uneven structure 450 includes a second plate body with multiple uneven points randomly arranged on it. When a ping-pong ball lands on these uneven points, it will experience reaction forces of different directions and strengths, causing the ping-pong ball to bounce in random directions. This unpredictability increases the fun and challenge of the game, requiring players to have more skill and reaction speed when hitting the ball. The randomly distributed uneven points cause the ping-pong ball to bounce in different directions and speeds when it lands on the table 110, requiring players to constantly adjust their hitting method and force to adapt to these changes. This diversity not only enhances the challenge of the game but also increases its playability and enjoyment.

[0061] For example, the bumps on the first bump structure 400 are made of different materials (e.g., some bumps are made of rubber, and others are made of plastic). By introducing bumps made of different materials (such as rubber and plastic), the friction and rebound effect between the ping-pong ball and the bumps can be further increased, making the game more varied and interesting. This innovative design not only enhances the product's appeal but also satisfies users' needs for novelty and excitement.

[0062] For example, the second concave-convex structure 450 is adapted to the shape of the expansion plate 114, and the second concave-convex structure 450 is a fan-shaped structure.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the table 100 also includes casters 130, which are disposed on the table legs 120, and the number of casters 130 matches the number of table legs 120.

[0064] For example, if four table legs 120 are provided, each table leg 120 is equipped with a caster wheel 130, which can rotate and lock.

[0065] For example, when the main body panel 112 is large, six table legs 120 can be set to support the main body panel 112. Accordingly, a caster wheel 130 will be installed under each table leg 120, for a total of six caster wheels 130.

[0066] The casters 130 allow the table 100 to move freely in multiple directions, greatly improving its mobility. Whether adjusting its position indoors or moving it between different locations, this can be easily achieved.

[0067] By adjusting the locking function of the casters 130, the table 100 can remain stable when needed, meeting the requirements of different usage scenarios. For example, during competitions or training, the casters 130 can be locked to ensure the stability of the table 100; and when it is necessary to move the table 100, the locking function can be released for movement.

[0068] The design of the 130 casters not only improves the ease of movement of the table 100, but also enhances the overall user experience. Users no longer need to laboriously carry or drag the heavy table 100; instead, they can easily adjust its position by pushing or pulling it.

[0069] In one embodiment, the score rack 200 is slidably mounted on the table 100 so that the scoring components can extend or retract into the table 100.

[0070] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the scoreboard 200 extends from the table 100 for convenient scoring by the user. Figure 4 As shown, the scoring rack 200 is retracted into the table 100 for convenient storage and transportation of the ping-pong table.

[0071] For example, the scorer 200 is slidably mounted on the main body plate 112 or the extension plate 114 via a slide rail. In another embodiment, the scorer 200 is mounted on the main body plate 112 or the extension plate 114 via a telescopic member, which extends and retracts to extend or retract the scorer 200 from the main body plate 112 or the extension plate 114. For example, the telescopic member includes, but is not limited to, a hydraulic telescopic rod, a pneumatic telescopic rod, an electric actuator, a screw mechanism, or a linear motor.

[0072] When the score rack 200 extends out of the table 100, users can easily perform scoring operations to meet the needs of competitions or training. When the score rack 200 is retracted into the table 100, it can greatly reduce the space occupied by the table 100, making the ping-pong table more compact and easier to store and transport.

[0073] The sliding or telescopic installation method allows the score rack 200 to extend or retract as needed, providing great flexibility. Users can flexibly adjust the position and status of the score rack 200 according to the size of the competition venue, storage conditions, or transportation needs.

[0074] This design makes scoring operations more convenient, eliminating the need for users to bend over or search for other tools to operate the scoring components, thus improving efficiency and comfort during competitions or training. At the same time, retracting the scoring rack 200 avoids the risk of wasted space or collision damage when not in use.

[0075] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the slider 210 includes a first plate 212 and a second plate 214.

[0076] The first plate 212 is slidably mounted on the scoring frame 200; the second plate 214 is slidably mounted on the scoring frame 200, and the first plate 212 and the second plate 214 are set separately.

[0077] For example, if there are two users, A and B, the scoreboard 200 has a first plate 212 near A. When A scores a point, the slider 210 slides one position towards A. The scoreboard 200 has a second plate 214 near B. When B scores a point, the slider 210 slides one position towards B. The player with the most points wins or the player with the most points in a unit of time wins.

[0078] Setting up the first plate 212 and the second plate 214 allows for quick and convenient scoring of users separately. The first plate 212 and the second plate 214 can also be used to record sessions, etc. The functions of the first plate 212 and the second plate 214 described above are only examples, and their functions are not limited to these.

[0079] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0080] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
