Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 This application first provides an embodiment of a folding table structure, which includes:
[0040] Support component 01, mounting plate 02, motor 03, and telescopic module 04;
[0041] The support assembly 01 includes a support plate 11 and a connecting plate 12. The support assembly 01 is used to connect with the panel of the folding table.
[0042] One end of the support plate 11 is connected to the connecting plate 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 02, which is used to mount the folding table.
[0043] One end of the telescopic module 04 is rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the mounting plate 02;
[0044] A motor 03 is installed on the telescopic module 04. The motor 03 is used to drive the telescopic module 04 to extend or retract, so as to drive the support assembly 01 to unfold or fold.
[0045] Support component 01: Support component 01 includes a support plate 11 and a connecting plate 12, which are connected to the tabletop and are responsible for providing support and stability to the tabletop. The support plate 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 02, allowing the entire tabletop to be unfolded or folded when needed. This connection method provides the tabletop with rotatable movement capabilities.
[0046] Mounting Plate 02: Mounting Plate 02 is the foundation of the entire structure, used to support and mount the folding table. This can be a sturdy sheet or frame that can be securely attached to the interior structure of the RV.
[0047] Motor 03: Motor 03 is the power source for unfolding and folding the desktop. Motor 03 can be installed in a suitable position on the structure and connected to the telescopic module 04 to achieve the extension and retraction movements. This electric drive method improves the convenience and efficiency of desktop operation.
[0048] Telescopic Module 04: Telescopic module 04 is a retractable component, with one end connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12 and the other end connected to the middle of the mounting plate 02. This telescopic module, driven by motor 03, enables the support component 01 to extend or retract, thereby realizing the unfolding and folding of the folding table.
[0049] The working principle of the entire structure is that when the motor 03 starts, it drives the movement of the telescopic module 04. The force of the telescopic module 04 acts on the middle of the connecting plate 12, causing the support plate 11 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 01, so that the folding table can be unfolded to the use position or folded to the storage position.
[0050] In this embodiment, a folding table structure with a motor-driven telescopic module 04 is adopted to improve the convenience and efficiency of operation. The telescopic module 04 is located between the middle of the connecting plate of the support component 01 and the middle of the mounting plate 02. When the motor drives the telescopic module 04, the support component 01 can be smoothly unfolded or folded, thereby providing workspace when needed and saving space when not needed. Furthermore, the connection between the support component 01 and the mounting plate 02 ensures sufficient stability for the entire table structure in the unfolded state. Since the support plate 11 and the mounting plate 12 are rotatably connected, the tabletop angle can be adjusted to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs, improving the flexibility of the folding table.
[0051] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, the telescopic module 04 includes a turbine 41, a worm gear 42, a lead screw 43, a slider 44, and a telescopic rod 45;
[0052] The worm gear 42 is connected to the motor shaft 31 of the motor 03;
[0053] Worm 42 meshes with turbine 41;
[0054] The turbine 41 is fixed to one end of the lead screw 43. When the turbine 41 rotates, it drives the lead screw 43 to rotate.
[0055] Sliding element 44 is sleeved on lead screw 43;
[0056] One end of the telescopic rod 45 is connected to the sliding member 44, and the other end is connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12. When the lead screw 43 rotates, it drives the sliding member 44 to slide linearly along the lead screw 43.
[0057] Turbine 41: Turbine 41 is a circular wheel that meshes with worm 42.
[0058] Worm 42: Worm 42 is a helical rod-shaped part that is connected to the motor shaft 31 of motor 03. Worm 42 meshes with turbine 41 through its helical shape. When motor 03 is started, turbine 41 is driven to rotate by worm 42.
[0059] Lead screw 43: Lead screw 43 is a long, straight rod-shaped part, one end of which is fixedly connected to turbine 41. When turbine 41 rotates, lead screw 43 will be driven to rotate by turbine 41.
[0060] Sliding element 44: The sliding element 44 is sleeved on the lead screw 43 and can slide linearly along the lead screw 43. The design of the sliding element 44 allows it to fit tightly with the lead screw 43 while also being movable.
[0061] Telescopic rod 45: One end of the telescopic rod 45 is connected to the sliding member 44, and the other end is connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12. When the sliding member 44 slides along the lead screw 43, the telescopic rod 45 moves accordingly, thereby driving the rotation of the connecting plate 12.
[0062] The entire telescopic module works as follows: motor 03 drives turbine 41 to rotate via worm gear 42, and turbine 41 then drives slider 44 to slide linearly along lead screw 43 via the rotation of lead screw 43. Telescopic rod 45 is connected to slider 44, so as slider 44 moves, telescopic rod 45 pulls connecting rod 12, thereby causing support plate 11 to rotate. This design converts the rotational motion of motor 03 into linear motion, ultimately enabling the folding and unfolding operation of support component 01.
[0063] In this embodiment, the telescopic module 04 has good thrust, which can ensure the stable unfolding or folding of the folding table panel. Therefore, when using the telescopic module 04 in this embodiment, unfolding or folding can be achieved using a single telescopic module, which makes the folding structure simpler. Furthermore, since only one telescopic module is needed, the production cost is reduced. In this embodiment, the combination of the worm gear 42 structure and the lead screw 43 structure gives the module a strong self-locking capability, that is, it can withstand a large load when the panel is unfolded.
[0064] In addition, the motor 03 in the telescopic module provided in this embodiment can be installed closer to the rotation point, and the entire telescopic module occupies less space, which is very beneficial for use in RVs.
[0065] Please see Figure 2 In an optional embodiment, the connecting plate 12 is provided with stress dispersion holes 13, which are used to evenly distribute the force on the connecting plate.
[0066] In this embodiment, since the telescopic module 04 is connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12, when the motor 03 drives the telescopic module 04 to operate, the force of the telescopic module 04 will be concentrated in the middle of the connecting plate 12, which is not conducive to driving the support plates 11 at both ends of the connecting plate 12 to rotate. Furthermore, when the force of the telescopic module 04 acts on the middle of the connecting plate 12 for a long time, it can easily cause damage to the connecting plate 12. Providing stress dispersion holes 13 on the connecting plate 12 can evenly distribute the force of the telescopic module 04 to all parts of the connecting plate 12, driving the support plates 11 to rotate. At the same time, providing stress dispersion holes 13 on the connecting plate 12 can reduce manufacturing costs. These stress dispersion holes 13 can be in various shapes such as circular, square, and rectangular, and multiple holes can be provided.
[0067] In an optional embodiment, auxiliary plates 14 are provided at both ends of the connecting plate 12, and the auxiliary plates 14 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 11.
[0068] Side plates 21 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 02, and the side plates 21 are connected to the other end of the support plate 11.
[0069] In this embodiment, auxiliary plates 13 are respectively installed at the left and right ends of the connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 and the auxiliary plates 13 are an integral structure. The connecting plate 12 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 11 through the auxiliary plates 13, so that the connecting plate 12 can effectively drive the support plate 11 to rotate. When the support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are connected, they form a horizontal plane to stably support the folded tabletop. The support plate 11 and the connecting plate 12 are detachably connected, and when any part is damaged, it can be replaced individually. Side plates 21 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the mounting plate 02, and the side plates 21 are connected to the other end of the support plate 11. This design can provide a more uniform support structure, making the folding table more stable when unfolded or folded.
[0070] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In an optional embodiment, one end of the telescopic module 04 is rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12 via a first pin 05, and the other end is rotatably connected to the middle of the mounting plate 12 via a second pin 06.
[0071] One end of the telescopic module 04 is provided with an open slot 08, and the first pin 05 is fastened in the slot 08 and installed on the middle of the connecting plate 12.
[0072] One end of the telescopic module 04 is connected to the middle of the connecting plate 12 via a first pin 05, forming a rotational connection point, allowing the connecting plate 12 to rotate around the first pin 05. The other end of the telescopic module 04 is connected to the mounting plate 02 via a second pin 06, forming another rotational connection point, allowing the telescopic module 04 to rotate relative to the mounting plate 02.
[0073] In this embodiment, the support component 01 can be rotated and unfolded or folded by the telescopic module 04 with the support of the first pin 05 and the second pin 06. This connection method is simple and effective. The rotational support of the first pin 05 and the second pin 06 achieves a reliable rotational connection, while making the operation of the folding table more stable and controllable.
[0074] In this embodiment, the first pin 05 is fastened in the slot 08. The open design of the slot 08 facilitates the removal of the first pin 05, allowing the table panel to be manually pulled out in the event of motor 03 failure, thus improving maintainability and ease of operation in emergency situations. When motor 03 fails, the user can manually unfold the table panel by removing the first pin 05, providing an alternative operating method and increasing the reliability and flexibility of the folding table structure.
[0075] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In an optional embodiment, a pin seat 07 is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 12, and a second pin 06 is mounted on the pin seat 07.
[0076] In this embodiment, the pin seat 07 is a component for accommodating the second pin 06. Its structure may include a hole or groove, allowing the second pin 06 to be fixed within the seat. The second pin 06 is installed in the pin seat 07 to ensure a more secure and stable connection between the second pin 06 and the mounting plate 02, thereby providing better guidance and support for the movement of the first pin 05 in the slot 08.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 2. In an optional embodiment, the support plate 11 has an L-shaped structure, and a fixing head 09 is provided at the included angle of the support plate 11. The fixing head 09 has screw holes for fixing to the panel of the folding table.
[0078] In this embodiment, the support plate 11 has an L-shaped structure and bears the weight of the tabletop of the folding table. A fixing head 09 is provided at the included angle of the support plate 11, and the fixing head 09 has a screw hole so that the tabletop of the folding table is fixed to the support plate 11 by screws, and the fixing head 09 can assist the support plate 11 in bearing the tabletop of the folding table.
[0079] Please see Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, a cover plate 46 is provided on the telescopic module, which covers the outside of the lead screw 43.
[0080] In this embodiment, the cover plate 46 installed on the telescopic module 04 can provide good protection for components such as the lead screw 43. The cover plate 46 can be of various shapes, such as arc-shaped or angular.
[0081] It should be noted that the above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the scope of this application.
