The output end of the servo motor 23 is equipped with a worm 24, which meshes with the worm gear 25.

[0028] When automatic table leg retraction is required, multiple servo motors 23 are activated. The servo motors 23 drive the worm gear 24 to rotate. Under the meshing of the worm gear 24 and the worm wheel 25, the worm wheel 25 is driven to rotate. With the support of the connecting block 4, one set of worm wheels 25 drives the first shaft 20, the table leg 5, the table calf 6, and the machine foot 7 to rotate around the first shaft 20. With the support of the table leg 5, another set of worm wheels 25 drives the second shaft 21, the table calf 6, and the machine foot 7 to rotate around the second shaft 21. With the support of the table calf 6, another set of worm wheels 25 drives the third shaft 22 and the machine foot 7 to rotate around the third shaft 22. With the cooperation of multiple sets of rotations, the table legs can be automatically retracted. The same method facilitates the unfolding of the table legs. The height of the tabletop 1 can be easily adjusted by the range of the unfolded table legs. This realizes the convenient multi-level rotation cooperation for table leg retraction, which facilitates the convenient retraction and unfolding of the table legs, makes it easy to adjust the height of the table, reduces the space occupied by the table, and improves the convenience of table leg folding.

[0029] The U-shaped frame 3 is symmetrically equipped with first electric push rods 8 inside, and the output ends of the first electric push rods 8 are all connected to the lifting frame 9.

[0030] A support frame 10 is installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 9. A second electric push rod 11 is installed on the side wall of the support frame 10. A rack 12 is installed at the output end of the second electric push rod 11. A guide rail 15 is installed on the side wall of the rack 12. An L-shaped plate 13 is installed on the side of the bottom of the lifting frame 9 away from the support frame 10.

[0031] A slider 14 is installed on the side wall of the L-shaped plate 13. The slider 14 is slidably connected to the guide rail 15. A rotating shaft 17 is movably installed at the center of the inside of the lifting frame 9. The rotating shaft 17 extends through the lifting frame 9 to the outside of the lifting frame 9. The rotating shaft 17 is connected to the disc 2. A gear 16 is fitted on the surface of the rotating shaft 17 at the bottom of the lifting frame 9.

[0032] The rack 12 meshes with the gear 16. The top of the lifting frame 9 is equipped with four sets of equally spaced support seats 18. Rollers 19 are movably installed inside the support seats 18. The rollers 19 are slidably connected to the disc 2.

[0033] When the disc 2 is at the same height as the tabletop 1, it facilitates the use of the table on a flat surface. When it is necessary to raise the disc 2, the first electric push rod 8 is activated. Supported by the U-shaped frame 3, the first electric push rod 8 drives the lifting frame 9 to rise. The lifting frame 9, through the rotating shaft 17, drives the disc 2 to rise, so that the disc 2 leaves the surface of the tabletop 1. When it is necessary to rotate the disc 2, the second electric push rod 11 is activated. Supported by the support frame 10, the second electric push rod 11 drives the rack 12 to move. The rack 12 drives the guide rail 15 to move synchronously. Supported by the L-shaped plate 13 and the slider 14, and with the sliding cooperation between the slider 14 and the guide rail 15, the rack 12 drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 drives the rotating shaft 17 and the disc 2 to rotate, facilitating the circular rotation of items on the surface of the disc 2. This allows for convenient adjustment of the table's flatness, facilitates the lifting and rotating of items at the center of the table, and improves the table's visibility and practicality.

[0034] Working principle: When automatic table leg retraction is required, servo motor 23 drives worm gear 24 to rotate. The meshing of worm gear 24 and worm wheel 25 drives worm wheel 25 to rotate. Supported by connecting block 4, one set of worm wheels 25 drives the first shaft 20, table leg 5, table lower leg 6, and machine foot 7 to rotate around the first shaft 20. Supported by table leg 5, another set of worm wheels 25 drives the second shaft 21, table lower leg 6, and machine foot 7 to rotate around the second shaft 21. Supported by table lower leg 6, another set of worm wheels 25 drives the third shaft 22, and machine foot 7 to rotate around the third shaft 22. This multi-set rotation facilitates automatic table leg retraction and, in the same way, facilitates table leg unfolding. The height of the tabletop 1 can be easily adjusted by extending the table legs. When the disc 2 and the tabletop 1 are at the same height, the table can be used flat. When the disc 2 needs to be raised, the first electric push rod 8 drives the lifting frame 9 to rise. The lifting frame 9 drives the disc 2 to rise through the rotating shaft 17, so that the disc 2 leaves the surface of the tabletop 1. When the disc 2 needs to be rotated, the second electric push rod 11 drives the rack 12 to move. The rack 12 drives the guide rail 15 to move synchronously. The rack 12 drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 drives the rotating shaft 17 and the disc 2 to rotate, so that items on the surface of the disc 2 can rotate in a circular motion, thus completing the use of the table with automatic leg retraction and protection.
