[0046] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 The table assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0048] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the table assembly 100 according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: a table 10 and a support leg 30.

[0049] One end of the table 10 is provided with a first connector 20, and the table 10 is adapted to be rotatably mounted on the vehicle's sub-dashboard 200 via the first connector 20; the other end of the table 10 is provided with a support leg 30 for supporting the table 10.

[0050] In a specific example, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the upper end of the first connector 20 is mounted on the lower side of the front end of the table 10, and the lower end of the first connector 20 is mounted on the upper side of the rear end of the sub-instrument panel 200. That is, the first connector 20 is disposed between the lower side of the front end of the table 10 and the upper side of the rear end of the sub-instrument panel 200. Thus, the table 10 can not only be mounted on the sub-instrument panel 200, but also can rotate relative to the sub-instrument panel 200.

[0051] In a specific example, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the support leg 30 extends vertically and is installed on the lower side of the rear end of the tabletop 10. When the user uses the tabletop 10, the support leg 30 can provide additional support to ensure that the tabletop 10 is stable and will not tip over. This can effectively improve the stability and reliability of the tabletop 10 during use, thereby effectively ensuring the user's comfort when using the tabletop 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the user uses the table 10, the user can rotate the table 10 around the connection point between the table 10 and the sub-instrument panel 200 to a suitable position according to different usage needs. Since the first connecting member 20 is provided between the table 10 and the sub-instrument panel 200, the user can easily rotate the table 10 to a suitable position according to specific usage needs, thereby effectively improving the convenience of rotating the table 10 and the flexibility of using the table 10. After the user rotates the table 10 to a suitable position, the support leg 30 can be firmly supported on the floor inside the vehicle, making the table 10 stable enough to prevent wobbling during use, thereby effectively improving the user's comfort when using the table 10 and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0053] According to the table assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment, by providing a table 10 and a support leg 30 in the table assembly 100, a first connector 20 is provided at one end of the table 10, and the table 10 is adapted to be rotatably mounted on the sub-instrument panel 200 of the vehicle through the first connector 20. The support leg 30 is provided at the other end of the table 10 for supporting the table 10, so that the table 10 can rotate relative to the sub-instrument panel 200, thereby effectively improving the convenience and flexibility of the table 10, meeting various user needs, and thus effectively improving the user experience.

[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the tabletop 10 is rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. The first connector 20 includes a first connecting part 21 and a second connecting part 22 that are rotatable relative to each other about the rotation axis. The first connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to the tabletop 10, and the second connecting part 22 is adapted to be fixedly connected to the sub-instrument panel 200.

[0055] When users have different usage needs for the table 10, they can easily rotate the table 10 around the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction to a suitable position, thereby meeting different usage needs. Furthermore, when users do not need to use the table 10, they can easily rotate the table 10 around the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction to a suitable position, thereby effectively reducing the impact on the interior space of the carriage.

[0056] For example, both the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 can be sheet metal parts. Further, the thickness of the sheet metal parts is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm. For example, the thickness of the sheet metal parts can be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm and 1 mm.

[0057] In a specific example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting portion 21 is disposed on the upper side of the second connecting portion 22. Further, the first connecting portion 21 has a plurality of first mounting holes 210 arranged at intervals along its periphery. The second connecting portion 22 has a plurality of second mounting holes 220 arranged at intervals along its periphery. The first connecting portion 21 is engaged with the lower side of the front end of the table panel 10 through the first mounting holes 210, and the second connecting portion 22 is engaged with the upper side of the rear end of the sub-instrument panel 200 through the second mounting holes 220.

[0058] When the tabletop 10 rotates around the axis of rotation, the first connecting part 21 can rotate with the tabletop 10 around the axis of rotation, while the second connecting part 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the rear end of the sub-instrument panel 200. Therefore, the second connecting part 22 is fixed, that is, the first connecting part 21 can rotate relative to the second connecting part 22 around the axis of rotation.

[0059] In this embodiment, the tabletop 10 is made rotatable around a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction. A first connecting part 21 and a second connecting part 22 that are rotatable around the rotation axis are provided in the first connecting member 20. The first connecting part 21 is fixedly connected to the tabletop 10, and the second connecting part 22 is adapted to be fixedly connected to the sub-instrument panel 200. This can effectively meet the different usage needs of users, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the tabletop 10.

[0060] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a groove is formed on one of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 and a sliding portion is formed on the other. The groove extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the rotation axis, and the sliding portion is slidably fitted into the groove.

[0061] For example, a groove is formed on the first connecting portion 21, and a sliding portion is formed on the second connecting portion 22; or, for instance, a sliding portion is formed on the first connecting portion 21, and a groove is formed on the second connecting portion 22. In a specific example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a sliding portion is formed on the first connecting portion 21, and a sliding groove is formed on the second connecting portion 22. For example... Figure 4As shown, the sliding part extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the rotation axis and is disposed in the slide groove. When the table 10 is rotated, the sliding part can rotate around the rotation axis in the slide groove.

[0062] In this embodiment, a groove is formed on one of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22, and a sliding portion is formed on the other. The groove extends in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis, and the sliding portion is slidably fitted in the groove. This can effectively limit the relative movement of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 in the direction of the extension of the rotation axis, and can also effectively ensure that the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 can rotate relative to each other, thereby effectively improving the stability of the rotation of the tabletop 10.

[0063] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 extend circumferentially along the axis of rotation in an annular shape. The radial inner edge of one of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 is bent radially outward to define a groove, and the radial inner edge of the other of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 is formed as a sliding portion.

[0064] For example, the radial inner edge of the first connecting portion 21 is bent radially outward to define a groove, and the radial inner edge of the second connecting portion 22 is formed as a sliding portion; or, the radial inner edge of the second connecting portion 22 is bent radially outward to define a groove, and the radial inner edge of the first connecting portion 21 is formed as a sliding portion.

[0065] In a specific example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the radial inner edge of the second connecting part 22 is bent outward in the radial direction to define the groove, and the radial inner edge of the first connecting part 21 is formed as a sliding part. The sliding part is disposed in the groove and can rotate around the rotation axis.

[0066] In this embodiment, by extending both the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 into annular shapes along the rotation axis, bending the radially inner edge of one of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 radially outward to define a groove, and forming the radially inner edge of the other of the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 into a sliding portion, the structure of the first connecting member 20 can be effectively simplified, thereby effectively reducing the processing difficulty of the first connecting member 20 and thus effectively saving costs.

[0067] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the first connecting member 20 further includes a plurality of first rolling elements, which are disposed between the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis. The first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 22 are in rolling contact through the plurality of first rolling elements. For example, the number of first rolling elements can be five, six, seven, eight, or more than nine, and the plurality of first rolling elements are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis. Further, the first rolling elements can be balls.

[0068] In this embodiment, multiple first rolling elements are provided in the first connecting member 20. The multiple first rolling elements are located between the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 and are arranged circumferentially at intervals along the axis of rotation. The first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are in rolling contact through the multiple first rolling elements. This not only effectively reduces the friction between the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22, making it easier for the user to rotate the table 10, but also effectively ensures that the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 are subjected to uniform force, thereby effectively improving the stability of the table 10 rotation.

[0069] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 cooperate to define the rolling channel 201. The rolling channel 201 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the rotation axis, and a plurality of first rolling elements are arranged sequentially in the rolling channel 201.

[0070] When the tabletop 10 rotates around the rotation axis, multiple first rolling elements in the rolling channel 201 can roll around the rotation axis within the rolling channel 201. The rolling channel 201 provides precise guidance for the multiple first rolling elements, ensuring that each rolling element can move along a predetermined trajectory and preventing deviation when the first rolling elements roll.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 21 and the second connecting part 22 cooperate to define the rolling channel 201. The rolling channel 201 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the rotation axis. Multiple first rolling elements are arranged sequentially in the rolling channel 201, which enables the multiple first rolling elements to roll around the rotation axis in the rolling channel 201, avoiding deviation when the first rolling elements roll, thereby effectively improving the stability and reliability of the first rolling elements when rolling.

[0072] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, in the axial direction of the rotation axis, the first connecting part 21 is formed with a first groove that is recessed away from the second connecting part 22, and the second connecting part 22 is formed with a second groove that is recessed away from the first connecting part 21. The first groove and the second groove together constitute the rolling channel 201.

[0073] In a specific example, such as Figure 4As shown, the axial direction of the rotation axis is up and down. A first groove is formed on the first connecting part 21, which is recessed upwards, and a second groove is formed on the second connecting part 22, which is recessed downwards. The first groove and the second groove are correspondingly arranged in the up and down direction, and the first groove and the second groove together constitute the rolling channel 201.

[0074] In this embodiment, in the axial direction of the rotation axis, the first connecting part 21 is formed with a first groove that is recessed away from the second connecting part 22, and the second connecting part 22 is formed with a second groove that is recessed away from the first connecting part 21. The first groove and the second groove together constitute the rolling channel 201, which can effectively utilize space, thereby effectively reducing the installation space occupied by the rolling channel 201, and thus effectively improving the compactness of the first connecting member 20.

[0075] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 21 is detachably connected to the table 10, and the second connecting part 22 is adapted to be detachably connected to the sub-instrument panel 200.

[0076] In a specific example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 21 and the tabletop 10 can be disassembled or fixed through multiple first mounting holes 210 on the first connecting part 21. That is, when the tabletop 10 or the first connecting part 21 is damaged, the tabletop 10 or the first connecting part 21 can be easily disassembled and maintained. The second connecting part 22 and the sub-instrument panel 200 can be disassembled or fixed through multiple second mounting holes 220 on the second connecting part 22. That is, when the second connecting part 22 is damaged, the second connecting part 22 can be easily disassembled and maintained.

[0077] This embodiment improves the convenience of maintaining the table assembly 100 by setting the first connecting part 21 to the table 10 as detachable and the second connecting part 22 to the sub-instrument panel 200 as detachable, thereby effectively improving the maintenance efficiency of the table assembly 100.

[0078] In one embodiment of this utility model, the height of the first connecting member 20 is adjustable in the vertical direction. That is, the user can change the vertical position of the tabletop 10 according to their own comfort or different usage needs.

[0079] Furthermore, different users have different heights and preferences for using the tabletop 10, and a height-adjustable tabletop 10 can better accommodate different users. Additionally, a telescopic rod can be installed in the first connector 20, allowing users to adjust the length of the telescopic rod electrically or manually, thereby effectively changing the vertical height of the tabletop 10.

[0080] This embodiment, by setting the height of the first connector 20 in the vertical direction to be adjustable, can further meet the various needs of users in actual use, thereby effectively improving the applicability of the table assembly 100.

[0081] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the tabletop assembly 100 also includes: a slide rail 40, which is disposed on the tabletop 10. The slide rail 40 has a sliding groove 401, which extends along one end of the tabletop 10 to the other end. The upper end of the support leg 30 is provided with a sliding block 31, which is slidably engaged in the sliding groove 401.

[0082] In a specific example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the slide rail 40 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the tabletop 10. A sliding groove 401 is formed in the slide rail 40, which extends in the front-to-back direction. The sliding block 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support leg 30. The sliding block 31 can slide in the sliding groove 401 in the front-to-back direction, thereby enabling the sliding leg to move in the front-to-back direction. Furthermore, the sliding block 31 can be a disc-shaped structure, which can effectively reduce the friction between the sliding block 31 and the sliding groove 401 when the sliding block 31 slides.

[0083] When using the tabletop 10, users can adjust the support leg 30's position in the front-to-back direction according to their actual needs, thus better adapting to different usage scenarios. For example, when the middle part of the tabletop needs to bear more weight in the front-to-back direction, the user can move the support leg 30 along the sliding groove 401 to the center of the tabletop 10 to provide better support. In addition, when the tabletop 10 rotates around its axis of rotation, the support leg 30 may encroach on the user's legroom; in this case, the user can move the support leg 30 to a suitable position according to the need for legroom.

[0084] In this embodiment, a slide rail 40 is provided in the tabletop assembly 100. The slide rail 40 is located on the tabletop 10 and has a sliding groove 401. The sliding groove 401 extends from one end of the tabletop 10 to the other end. A sliding block 31 is provided at the upper end of the support leg 30. The sliding block 31 is slidably engaged in the sliding groove 401. This not only enables the tabletop assembly 100 to adapt to various usage scenarios and user needs, thereby effectively improving flexibility, but also facilitates user operation, thereby effectively improving the convenience for users to move the support leg 30.

[0085] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the table assembly 100 also includes a locking structure 50, which is disposed on the slide rail 40. The locking structure 50 is configured to lock and release the sliding block 31. When the locking structure 50 locks the sliding block 31, the support leg 30 is fixed relative to the slide rail 40. When the locking structure 50 releases the sliding block 31, the support leg 30 can slide along the sliding groove 401.

[0086] When the user moves the support leg 30 to a suitable position while using the tabletop 10, the locking structure 50 can be adjusted to lock the sliding block 31, effectively fixing the support leg 30 and preventing the tabletop 10 from moving during use, thus improving stability and safety. When the user needs to move the support leg 30 while using the tabletop 10, the locking structure 50 can be adjusted to release the sliding block 31, allowing the support leg 30 to slide along the sliding groove 401.

[0087] In this embodiment, a locking structure 50 is provided in the table assembly 100. The locking structure 50 is located on the slide rail 40 and is configured to lock and release the sliding block 31. When the locking structure 50 locks the sliding block 31, the support leg 30 is relatively fixed to the slide rail 40. When the locking structure 50 releases the sliding block 31, the support leg 30 can slide along the sliding groove 401. This can effectively fix the support leg 30 after the user moves it to a suitable position, thereby effectively improving the stability and safety of the support leg 30.

[0088] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sliding groove 401 has locking structures 50 at both ends in the length direction. The locking structures 50 are configured to lock the support leg 30 when the sliding block 31 slides to the end of the sliding groove 401. That is, as Figure 3 As shown, the support leg 30 can be locked at the front and rear positions of the sliding groove 401, and can slide freely between the front and rear positions of the sliding groove 401. When the user needs to lock the support leg 30, he only needs to move the support leg 30 and the sliding block 31 to the front or rear position of the sliding groove, so that the locking structure 50 locks the support leg 30. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0089] In this embodiment, locking structures 50 are provided at both ends of the sliding groove 401 in the length direction. The locking structures 50 are configured to lock the support leg 30 when the sliding block 31 slides to the end of the sliding groove 401. This can effectively simplify the user's operation process of locking the support leg 30, thereby effectively improving the convenience of the user in locking the support leg 30.

[0090] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding groove 401 has recessed mounting grooves 402 formed on both side walls in the width direction. The locking structure 50 includes a stop block 51, which is disposed in the mounting groove 402 and is movable between a first position and a second position in the width direction of the sliding groove 401. In the first position, at least a portion of the stop block 51 extends into the sliding groove 401 to restrict the sliding block 31 between the stop block 51 and the end wall of one end of the sliding groove 401 in the length direction. In the second position, the stop block 51 is completely contained in the mounting groove 402.

[0091] For example, in the first position, a portion of the stop 51 extends into the sliding groove 401 to restrict the sliding block 31 between the stop 51 and the end wall of the sliding groove 401 at one end in the length direction; or, in the first position, the entire stop 51 extends into the sliding groove 401 to restrict the sliding block 31 between the stop 51 and the end wall of the sliding groove 401 at one end in the length direction.

[0092] In a specific example, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the first position, a portion of the stop 51 extends into the sliding groove 401 to restrict the sliding block 31 between the stop 51 and the end wall of one end of the sliding groove 401 in the length direction. In the second position, the stop 51 is fully received in the mounting groove 402, and the stop 51 can move between the first and second positions within the mounting groove 402.

[0093] For example Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the user moves the support leg 30 to the rear end of the sliding groove 401, the stops 51 on both sides of the sliding groove 401 in the width direction are in the first position. The sliding block 31 at the upper end of the support leg 30 abuts against the end wall of the rear end of the sliding groove 401 and the stops 51 on both sides of the sliding groove 401 in the width direction, thereby effectively fixing the sliding block 31 and the support leg 30. When the user needs to move the support leg 30 forward from the rear end of the sliding groove 401, the stops 51 on both sides of the sliding groove 401 in the width direction can be adjusted to the second position, thereby allowing the sliding block 31 and the support leg 30 to move forward along the sliding groove 401.

[0094] This embodiment features recessed mounting grooves 402 on both side walls of the sliding groove 401 in the width direction. The locking structure 50 includes a stop 51 disposed within the mounting groove 402 and movable between a first position and a second position along the width direction of the sliding groove 401. In the first position, at least a portion of the stop 51 extends into the sliding groove 401 to confine the sliding block 31 between the stop 51 and the end wall of one end of the sliding groove 401 in the length direction. In the second position, the stop 51 is fully retracted into the mounting groove 402. This integration of the mounting groove 402 and the stop 51 of the locking structure 50 within the sliding groove 401 effectively saves installation space and improves the compactness of the structure. Furthermore, it effectively enhances the stability and reliability of locking the support leg 30.

[0095] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking structure 50 further includes an elastic element 52, through which the stop 51 is mounted in the mounting groove 402. The elastic element 52 is configured to always drive the stop 51 to move toward a first position. In a specific example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the elastic element 52 is a spring, or more specifically, a compression spring. The stop block 51 is provided with a fixing hole 510. One end of the elastic element 52 is installed in the fixing hole 510, and the other end of the elastic element 52 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 402.

[0096] For example Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the user moves the support leg 30 to the rear end of the sliding groove 401, the sliding block 31 abuts against the stop blocks 51 on both sides of the sliding groove 401 in the width direction and drives the two stop blocks 51 to move away from each other. Then, under the action of the elastic member 52, the two stop blocks 51 move towards each other. Finally, both stop blocks 51 move to the first position, thereby restricting the sliding block 31 between the stop block 51 and the end wall of the rear end of the sliding groove 401, thus effectively restricting the movement of the support leg 30.

[0097] In this embodiment, by setting an elastic element 52 in the locking structure 50, the stop block 51 is installed in the mounting groove 402 through the elastic element 52. The elastic element 52 is configured to always drive the stop block 51 to move toward the first position, which can further simplify the user's operation when locking and unlocking the support leg 30, thereby providing the user with a more convenient and stable user experience, and thus effectively improving user satisfaction.

[0098] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a limiting groove 4021 is formed on the side wall of the mounting groove 402 at a distance from the opening of the mounting groove 402. The stop block 51 is provided with a limiting protrusion 511 that protrudes toward the side wall of the mounting groove 402. The limiting protrusion 511 is fitted into the limiting groove 4021. In the first position, the limiting protrusion 511 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 4021 facing the opening of the mounting groove 402.

[0099] For example Figure 7 As shown, the limiting protrusion 511 on the stop 51 includes a first limiting protrusion 5111 and a second limiting protrusion 5112. The first limiting protrusion 5111 is disposed in front of the second limiting protrusion 5112. The front end of the first limiting protrusion 5111 slidably abuts against the front sidewall of the limiting groove 4021, and the rear end of the second limiting protrusion 5112 slidably abuts against the rear sidewall of the limiting groove 4021. When the stop 51 is in the first position, the left ends of the first limiting protrusion 5111 and the second limiting protrusion 5112 abut against the left sidewall of the limiting groove 4021 to restrict the stop 51 from moving to the left.

[0100] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 4021 is formed on the side wall of the mounting groove 402 at a distance from the opening of the mounting groove 402. The stop block 51 is provided with a limiting protrusion 511 that protrudes towards the side wall of the mounting groove 402. The limiting protrusion 511 is fitted into the limiting groove 4021. In the first position, the limiting protrusion 511 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 4021 facing the opening of the mounting groove 402, which can effectively improve the stability of the stop block 51 in the first position and when the stop block 51 slides.

[0101] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sliding block 31 is provided with a second rolling element, and the sliding block 31 rolls with the inner wall of the sliding groove 401 through the second rolling element. For example, the upper side of the sliding block 31 is provided with a second rolling element. Furthermore, the number of second rolling elements can be multiple, for example, four, five, six, seven or more. The second rolling element can be a ball or a roller.

[0102] In this embodiment, by setting a second rolling element on the sliding block 31, the sliding block 31 rolls with the inner wall of the sliding groove 401 through the second rolling element, which can effectively reduce the friction between the sliding block 31 and the sliding groove 401, thereby making it easier for the user to move the support leg 30, and thus effectively improving the convenience of user operation.

[0103] In one embodiment of this utility model, the height of the support leg 30 in the vertical direction is adjustable. That is, the length of the support leg 30 in the vertical direction is adjustable. Furthermore, a gas spring structure can be provided on the support leg 30 to facilitate user adjustment of the height of the support leg 30 in the vertical direction.

[0104] This embodiment makes the height of the support leg 30 adjustable in the vertical direction, allowing users to effectively adjust the height of the tabletop 10 according to different usage needs. This effectively improves the flexibility and applicability of the tabletop assembly 100, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0105] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the table assembly 100 also includes a caster wheel assembly 60, which is connected to the lower end of the support leg 30.

[0106] For example Figure 3 As shown, the caster wheel assembly 60 is detachably connected to the lower end of the support leg 30. Specifically, the caster wheel assembly 60 includes a pulley 61, a locking arm 62, and a locking tongue 63. When the user rotates the tabletop 10 to a suitable position, the locking arm 62 can be pressed down to cause the locking tongue 63 to press against the pulley 61, thereby locking the caster wheel assembly 60. When the user needs to rotate the tabletop 10, the locking arm 62 can be raised to disengage the locking tongue 63 from the pulley 61, allowing the pulley 61 to rotate and roll.

[0107] In this embodiment, by providing a caster wheel assembly 60 in the table assembly 100, the caster wheel assembly 60 is connected to the lower end of the support leg 30. This not only effectively improves the convenience and smoothness of the table 10's rotation when it rotates, but also effectively locks the table 10 after it moves to a suitable position, preventing accidental movement of the table 10 and thus effectively improving the reliability of the table 10.

In the third use position, the table 10 is located on the right side of the sub-dashboard 200 and extends to the left and right.

[0111] When the tabletop 10 is in the first usage position, such as Figure 1 As shown, the table 10 allows convenient use by the passenger on the left side of the rear seat of the vehicle; when the table 10 is in the second use position, as... Figure 2 As shown, the table 10 is convenient for passengers on the left and right sides of the rear seats of the vehicle to use; when the table 10 is in the third usage position, it is convenient for passengers on the right side of the rear seats to use. In a specific example, the table 10 can rotate from 0° to 180°. Thus, the table 10 can rotate flexibly between multiple positions, effectively meeting different usage needs and effectively improving the utilization rate of the vehicle's interior space.

[0112] This embodiment arranges the table 10 on the front side of the rear seat. The table 10 is rotatable between a first use position, a second use position, and a third use position. In the first use position, the table 10 is located on the left side of the sub-dashboard 200 and extends to the left and right.
