Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of office furniture technology, specifically to a flip table. Background Technology

[0002] A flip table, also known as a flip work table, bedside table, or flip-top table, has a tabletop that can be flipped to adjust its tilt angle. When the tabletop is tilted, it can be used for drawing, drafting, and reading, providing convenience for the user. To prevent items from falling off the tabletop when it is flipped, some flip tables have a tabletop consisting of two sections: a fixed tabletop and a movable tabletop. The fixed tabletop is connected to the table legs and has a horizontally positioned pivot at its bottom. The movable tabletop is connected to the pivot via a fixed base and is used to rotate and adjust its angle. When the movable tabletop is flipped, items can be placed on the fixed tabletop to prevent them from falling off.

[0003] The aforementioned flip-top tables generally feature a locking mechanism that locks the tabletop after it has been flipped to a certain angle. For example, Chinese patent application CN205547901U, entitled "A Flip-Top Dining Table," describes a table with a horizontally positioned second pivot connected to the table legs. A housing is connected to the bottom of the tabletop, fitted onto the second pivot and rotatable around it. A first gear is connected to the end of the second pivot, and a second gear meshes with the first gear within the housing. The second gear is connected to a lever via a wrench. The wrench and a return spring fitted onto the lever engage or disengage the second gear from the first gear, thus locking or unlocking the tabletop when flipped. Another example is the flip-top table disclosed in patent application CN217337761U, which uses a lever and brake cable to control the insertion or disengagement of the valve core end into the rotating rod to achieve tabletop flipping and locking.

[0004] The flip tables mentioned above generally have the following defects in actual use: the locking structure that achieves locking by meshing the second gear inside the housing with the first gear at the end of the rotating shaft, and the locking structure that controls the insertion or disengagement of the valve core by the handle and brake cable, are not only complex and troublesome to install, but also have poor structural stability, and the table is prone to shaking after locking. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies and provide a flip table with a simple locking mechanism structure, convenient assembly, and good structural stability.

[0006] The technical solution of this application is to provide a flip table with the following structure: including...

[0007] The tabletop assembly, table legs, and a pivot connected to the table legs, the tabletop assembly being circumferentially rotatable about the pivot;

[0008] A locking mechanism includes a rotating seat slidably connected to a tabletop assembly and a fixed seat fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating seat is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft and can slide relative to the tabletop assembly along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. The rotating seat is provided with a first locking structure, and the fixed seat is provided with a second locking structure. The locking mechanism further includes...

[0009] A drive handle is rotatably connected to the tabletop assembly and is driven to the rotating seat. The drive handle is used to drive the rotating seat to move axially, so that the locking mechanism is in a locked or unlocked state. In the locked state, the first locking structure and the second locking structure are locked together, and the tabletop assembly is locked relative to the pivot position. In the unlocked state, the first locking structure and the second locking structure are disengaged, and the tabletop assembly can be rotated to adjust the angle.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom of the table assembly is connected to a sliding seat, and the sliding seat is provided with a slide rail along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the rotating seat is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0011] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism further includes an elastic element for causing the rotating seat to always have a tendency to move toward the fixed seat and lock the first locking structure with the second locking structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first locking structure and the second locking structure are locked by a toothed engagement structure, or by a convex-concave snap-fit ​​structure, or by a clutch element, or by a friction structure; wherein, the toothed engagement structure refers to the teeth that are arranged in a ring and interlock with each other on the two opposite end faces of the first locking structure and the second locking structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, the tabletop assembly includes a fixed tabletop and a movable tabletop, the fixed tabletop being fixedly connected to the table legs, and the movable tabletop being circumferentially rotatable relative to the fixed tabletop about a pivot axis; the rotating seat is slidably connected to the movable tabletop, and the drive handle is rotatably connected to the movable tabletop.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft is provided with a rotating block and a pull rod. The rotating block is connected to the rotating seat, one end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the drive handle, and the other end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the rotating block.

[0015] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft is provided with a guide hole along the axial direction, and the guide hole extends circumferentially along the rotating shaft. A connecting rod is connected to the rotating block, and the connecting rod passes through the guide hole and is connected to the rotating seat.

[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom of the movable table is connected to a base, the drive handle is rotatably connected to the base, and the drive handle is provided with a connecting part; the base is provided with a connector, one end of the connector is hinged to the connecting part, and the other end of the connector is hinged to the pull rod.

[0017] In some embodiments, the bottom of the movable table is connected to a mounting base, and the mounting base is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft; a limiting post protruding radially outward along the rotating shaft is connected to the rotating shaft, and the mounting base is provided with a limiting groove that matches the limiting post for axial limiting.

[0018] In some embodiments, an annular connecting wall is connected to the base and sleeved on the outer end of the rotating shaft. When the movable table rotates relative to the rotating shaft, the annular connecting wall rotates relative to the rotating shaft.

[0019] In summary, compared with related technologies, the flip table of this application has the following advantages: The locking mechanism of the flip table includes a rotating seat slidably connected to the tabletop assembly and a fixed seat fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating seat is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft so that the tabletop assembly can rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft. The rotating seat and the fixed seat are respectively connected to a first locking structure and a second locking structure that are matched and locked. The rotating seat moves axially along the rotating shaft under the drive of the drive handle, causing the rotating seat to move closer to or away from the fixed seat, thereby causing the first locking structure to contact and lock or disengage from the second locking structure. That is, the rotating seat of the flip table can not only rotatably connect the tabletop assembly to the rotating shaft so that the tabletop assembly can rotate relative to the rotating shaft to adjust the angle, but also slide relative to the tabletop assembly to lock the first locking structure and the second locking structure. Therefore, the locking mechanism of the flip table has a simple structure and is very easy to assemble. In addition, when the drive handle drives the rotating seat to move axially to lock or unlock the locking mechanism, the tabletop assembly remains stationary, so the operation is very labor-saving. Furthermore, both the rotating seat and the fixed seat are sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft, which makes the locking mechanism more secure and stable when locked, resulting in good structural stability and making the table assembly less prone to shaking.

Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a flip table, also known as a flip work table, bedside table, or study table. Its structure includes a tabletop assembly 1, a base 3, table legs 2, and a pivot 4 connected to the table legs 2. The lower end of the table legs 2 is connected to the base 3. In this embodiment, there is one table leg 2, connected to one end of the base 3. The pivot 4 is connected to the upper end of the table leg 2 and located below the tabletop assembly 1. The pivot 4 is a hollow cylindrical tube that extends horizontally to one side of the table leg 2. The tabletop assembly 1 is rotatably connected to the pivot 4 and can rotate around the pivot 4 to adjust the tilt angle. The tabletop assembly 1 can also be locked at any flip angle relative to the pivot 4. Therefore, the tabletop assembly 1 of this flip table can be flipped to a horizontal, tilted, and vertical state. In the horizontal state, it can be used as a study table; in the tilted state, it can be used as a reading table; and in the vertical state, it can be folded up to occupy less indoor space.

[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the table leg 2 includes a telescopic tube and a drive mechanism for extending and retracting the telescopic tube. The tabletop assembly 1 and the pivot 4 are both connected to the upper end of the telescopic tube and extend and retract with the telescopic tube to adjust the height. Specifically, the telescopic tube includes an outer tube and an inner tube that slides within the outer tube. The lower end of the outer tube is connected to the base 3, and the upper end of the inner tube is connected to the tabletop assembly 1 and the pivot 4. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism is a gas spring 7 installed inside the inner tube. The upper end of the gas spring 7 is connected to the inner tube, and the lower end of the gas spring 7 is connected to the bottom of the outer tube. The control valve of the gas spring 7 is installed at the upper end of the gas spring 7, and a rotary switch 700 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the inner tube. The rotary switch 700 is used to control the control valve of the gas spring 7. When the rotary switch 700 drives the control valve to open, the gas spring 7 unfolds, the inner tube unfolds axially relative to the outer tube, and the table leg 2 rises, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the tabletop assembly 1.

[0038] In other embodiments, the table leg 2 can also be an electrically adjustable table leg 2, that is, the table leg 2 is equipped with a drive motor and a linear drive mechanism, and the height of the table leg 2 is adjusted by using the drive motor to drive the transmission nut on the linear drive mechanism.

[0039] In other embodiments, the table leg 2 can also be a regular table leg 2, that is, a table leg 2 that cannot be raised or lowered.

[0040] In this embodiment, to ensure that the tabletop assembly 1 can be locked in position with the pivot 4 after being flipped over, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the flip table also includes a locking mechanism 5, which includes a rotating seat 500 and a fixed seat 501. The rotating seat 500 is slidably connected to the tabletop assembly 1. Further, the rotating seat 500 is sleeved and rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4. The rotating seat 500 can slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4 relative to the tabletop assembly 1. That is, the rotating seat 500 is provided with a central hole, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4, and can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 4 and slide within a certain range along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4 relative to the tabletop assembly 1. The fixed seat 501 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4 by fasteners. The rotating seat 500 is provided with a first locking structure 502, and the fixed seat 501 is provided with a second locking structure 503 that matches and locks the first locking structure 502. When the rotating seat 500 slides axially relative to the table assembly 1 along the rotating shaft 4, the rotating seat 500 can move closer to or further away from the fixed seat 501, thereby causing the first locking structure 502 to engage and lock or disengage from the second locking structure 503; that is, when the locking mechanism 5 is in the locked state, the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 engage and lock, and the table assembly 1 is locked relative to the rotating shaft 4; when the locking mechanism 5 is in the unlocked state, the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 disengage and unlock, and the table assembly 1 together with the rotating seat 500 can rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft 4 to adjust the tilt angle.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, to facilitate the flipping and locking of the table assembly 1, see... Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking mechanism 5 also includes a drive handle 505, which is rotatably connected to the table assembly 1 and driven by the rotating seat 500. The drive handle 505 is used to drive the rotating seat 500 to move axially, so that the locking mechanism 5 is in a locked or unlocked state. That is, in this embodiment, the drive handle 505 can be flipped synchronously with the table assembly 1. When the table assembly 1 is flipped, the drive handle 505 can be moved to unlock the locking mechanism 5, thereby realizing the tilt angle adjustment of the table assembly 1. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0042] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 500 of the flip table not only rotatably connects the tabletop assembly 1 to the rotating shaft 4, allowing the tabletop assembly 1 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 4 and adjust its angle, but also slides relative to the tabletop assembly 1 to lock the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503. Therefore, the locking mechanism 5 of the flip table has a simple structure and is very easy to assemble. In addition, when the rotating seat 500 of the drive handle 505 moves axially to lock or unlock the locking mechanism 5, the tabletop assembly 1 remains stationary, making operation very effortless. Furthermore, both the rotating seat 500 and the fixed seat 501 are sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 4 and are located in the middle of the rotating shaft 4 rather than at the end of the rotating shaft 4. When the locking mechanism 5 is locked, the locking is more secure and stable, resulting in good structural stability and making it less likely for the tabletop assembly 1 to wobble.

[0043] In some embodiments, the tabletop assembly 1 may be a single tabletop, or multiple tabletops sequentially spliced ​​together to form a tabletop that can rotate around the pivot 4; while in this embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tabletop assembly 1 includes a fixed tabletop 100 and a movable tabletop 101. The fixed tabletop 100 is fixedly connected to the table legs 2, and the movable tabletop 101 can rotate around the pivot 4 relative to the fixed tabletop 100. The rotating seat 500 is slidably connected to the movable tabletop 101, and the drive handle 505 is rotatably connected to the movable tabletop 101. That is, in this embodiment, the movable tabletop 101 can be flipped while the fixed tabletop 100 remains stationary. When the movable tabletop 101 is flipped, items can be placed on the fixed tabletop 100 to prevent them from falling. It is easy to understand that when the movable tabletop 101 is in a horizontal state, it is flush with the fixed tabletop 100, and the two together constitute the complete tabletop assembly 1, further improving the functionality of the flip table and meeting the needs of different users.

[0044] Further in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a rotating block 509 and a pull rod 507. The rotating block 509 is connected to the rotating seat 500, one end of the pull rod 507 is rotatably connected to the drive handle 505, and the other end of the pull rod 507 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 509. Specifically, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a guide hole 400 is provided along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4. The length of the guide hole 400 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4 is preferably such that the first locking structure 502 of the rotating seat 500 can disengage from the second locking structure 503 of the fixed seat 501. Since the rotating seat 500 rotates circumferentially along the rotating shaft 4 together with the movable table 101, the rotating seat 500 drives the rotating block 509 to rotate when it rotates. The rotating block 509 and the rotating seat 500 are connected by a connecting rod 510, which passes through the guide hole 400. Therefore, the guide hole 400 extends circumferentially along the rotating shaft 4 to avoid interfering with the rotation of the rotating seat 500. The setting of the guide hole 400 plays a guiding role in the axial movement of the rotating seat 500, which allows the first locking structure 502 of the rotating seat 500 and the second locking structure 503 of the fixed seat 501 to quickly approach or move away from each other. In this embodiment, one end of the pull rod 507 is hinged to the drive handle 505, and the other end of the pull rod 507 is provided with a radially protruding boss. The boss is rotatably connected to the rotating block 509. When the rotating seat 500 rotates together with the movable table 101, the rotating block 509 rotates relative to the boss of the pull rod 507.

[0045] In the aforementioned embodiment, the bottom of the movable table 101 is connected to a hollow base 511 via fasteners. A drive handle 505 is rotatably connected to the base 511 via a rotating pin, and the drive handle 505 has a connecting portion offset from the rotating pin. A connector 506 is provided inside the base 511; one end of the connector 506 is hinged to the connecting portion, and the other end is hinged to the pull rod 507. When the drive handle 505 rotates, the connecting portion of the drive handle 505 drives the pull rod 507 axially via the connector 506, thereby driving the rotating seat 500 to move axially along the rotating shaft 4.

[0046] In the above embodiment, driven by the drive handle 505, the rotating seat 500 slides relative to the movable table 101 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4. The rotating seat 500 is slidably connected to the bottom of the movable table 101. Specifically, see [link to documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a sliding seat 103 is connected to the bottom of the tabletop assembly 1, and a slide rail 104 is provided on the sliding seat 103 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4. The rotating seat 500 is slidably connected to the slide rail 104. Furthermore, a groove 504 is provided at the upper end of the rotating seat 500, which slides in cooperation with the slide rail 104 on the sliding seat 103. When the locking mechanism 5 is locked or unlocked, the rotating seat 500 is driven to slide on the slide rail 104. When the movable tabletop 101 is flipped to adjust its angle, the sliding seat 103 and the rotating seat 500 rotate together with the movable tabletop 101 circumferentially along the rotating shaft 4. Therefore, when the locking mechanism 5 is locked or unlocked, the drive handle 505 only drives the rotating seat 500 to move axially, without affecting the movement of the movable tabletop 101, thus making operation more effortless.

[0047] To enable the locking mechanism 5 to respond quickly and achieve rapid locking, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 5 further includes an elastic element 508. The elastic element 508 is used to ensure that the rotating seat 500 always has a tendency to move towards the fixed seat 501 and lock the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503. During unlocking, the drive handle 505 is moved to move the rotating seat 500 away from the fixed seat 501 to compress the elastic element 508. When the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 are disengaged, the movable table 101 is rotated to adjust its flip angle. After the angle adjustment is complete, the drive handle 505 is released. Under the elastic force of the elastic element 508, the drive handle 505 returns to its original position, and the rotating seat 500 moves towards the fixed seat 501, causing the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 to lock quickly, thereby achieving rapid locking of the locking mechanism 5.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the elastic element 508 is a spring, which can be configured in various ways. In this embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic element 508 is connected inside the rotating shaft 4 and sleeved on the pull rod 507. One end of the elastic element 508 abuts against the rotating block 509, and the other end abuts against the base 511.

[0049] In other embodiments, the elastic element 508 may also be sleeved on the rotating shaft 4, with one end of the elastic element connected to the rotating shaft and the other end abutting against the end of the rotating seat away from the fixed seat.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an annular connecting wall 512 is slidably sleeved on the outer end of the rotating shaft 4 and connected to the base 511. When the movable table 101 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 4, the annular connecting wall 512 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 4. This arrangement makes the structure between the base 511 and the rotating shaft 4 more compact, and the cooperation between the annular connecting wall 512 of the base 511 and the outer end of the rotating shaft 4 makes the flipping of the movable table 101 more stable and the structure more stable.

[0051] To further ensure smoother rotation between the movable tabletop 101 and the pivot 4, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a mounting base 6 is connected to the bottom of the movable tabletop 101. The mounting base 6 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 4 to provide rotational support for the movable tabletop 101. To prevent the movable tabletop 101 from moving axially relative to the rotating shaft 4, thus making the flipping of the movable tabletop 101 more stable, a limiting post 401 protruding radially outward along the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 4. The mounting base 6 is provided with a limiting groove 600 that matches the limiting post 401 for axial limiting. With the axial limiting cooperation of the limiting post 401 and the limiting groove 600, the movable tabletop 101 can be effectively prevented from moving axially along the rotating shaft 4 when flipping, making the flipping operation more convenient. In addition, with the joint cooperation of the mounting base 6, the rotating base 500, and the rotating shaft 4, the rotation of the movable tabletop 101 is more stable, and the structural stability with the rotating shaft 4 is better.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 are coaxially arranged and respectively disposed on two opposite end faces of the rotating seat 500 and the fixed seat 501; the locking structures can be integrally formed with the rotating seat 500 or the fixed seat 501, or they can be connected to the rotating seat 500 or the fixed seat 501 by fasteners. For details in this embodiment, see [link to specific embodiments]. Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 are locked together by a toothed engagement structure. Specifically, the toothed engagement structure refers to the presence of ring-shaped teeth that interlock on the two opposite end faces of the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503. The rotating seat 500 has ring-shaped teeth on its end face, while the fixed seat 501 has teeth on its end face near the rotating seat 500 that interlock with the teeth on the end face of the rotating seat 500. When the teeth on the rotating seat 500 interlock with the teeth on the fixed seat 501, the movable table 101 is in a locked state; when the teeth on the rotating seat 500 disengage from the teeth on the fixed seat 501, the movable table 101 is in an unlocked state.

[0053] In addition to tooth-biting locking, in other embodiments, the locking between the first locking structure 502 of the rotating seat 500 and the second locking structure 503 of the fixed seat 501 can also be locked by a convex-concave snap-fit ​​structure. That is, the first locking structure 502 has multiple protrusions or grooves distributed along the circumference of the rotating seat 500, while the second locking structure 503 has grooves or protrusions that engage with the first locking structure 502 along the circumference of the end face of the fixed seat 501.

[0054] In other embodiments, the locking between the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 can also be achieved through a friction structure, such as... Figure 9 As shown, friction discs 514 with rough friction surfaces are connected to the two end faces of the rotating seat 500 and the fixed seat 501. The friction surfaces can be multiple friction protrusions or a rough surface with alternating concave and convex surfaces.

[0055] Similarly, in other embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the locking between the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 can also be locked by a clutch component, that is, the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503 are locked by a clutch plate 515. The two opposite ends of the rotating seat 500 and the fixed seat 501 are respectively connected to annular clutch plates 515. The clutch plate 515 is a prior art accessory. When the clutch plate 515 on the rotating seat 500 is pressed against the clutch plate 515 on the fixed seat 501, the rotating seat 500 or the table assembly 1 is locked. When the clutch plate 515 on the rotating seat 500 is disengaged from the clutch plate 515 on the fixed seat 501, the rotating seat 500 or the table assembly 1 is unlocked.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The rotating base 500 is connected to a cover 513, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4 and used to cover the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503. The cover 513 serves to cover the first locking structure 502 and the second locking structure 503, preventing foreign objects from entering between the two locking structures, and also ensuring safety during use.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, a baffle 102 extending upwards and protruding from the top surface of the tabletop assembly 11 is connected to the side of the tabletop assembly 11 closest to the user. The baffle 102 is provided to prevent items from falling off the tabletop assembly 1 when the tabletop assembly 1 is tilted.

[0058] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and other terms indicating direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings.
